did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?
of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power
it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day
it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech
from the play "Sir Thomas More"
here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
on "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"
Nothing in humankind is ever new, the mechanisms universal…
And a most excellent lecture and presentation by Ian McKellen!
Simply marvelous.
400 years ago.

@benroyce a direct message to my followers. Do I have to mention them ? It only has it on the web. And it’s just a first message. I couldn’t even find the messages I’ve sent to someone.

apparently he knows it so well because he performed this in 1983 for bbc radio
i can't find a recording though, it's all locked up behind various access and rights nonsense
@benroyce @geppiegep According to Wiki, first performed it on stage in 1964. So he’s had this memorized longer than I’ve been alive.

@benroyce this is also a great reminder of why conservatives hate history and art, history to teach us this evil of hatred of others has always existed, and art to stir in our soul that it can and should be overcome. Great share, Ian McKellen is an amazing man

historical note:
this play had many authors, constantly revised
historians believe for this speech lines such as
"For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another."and
"but chartered unto them?
What would you think To be thus used?
This is the stranger's case,
And this your mountanish inhumanity"are directly attributable to Shakespeare's hand

@benroyce Too bad Sir Thomas More was executed by Henry the VIII...The current world emperor would likely do the same
@Martin_de_Zavala @benroyce Interesting... hadn't thought about it before, but Trump is so very Henry VIII!

@benroyce Stunningly good performance by Ian McKellen.

@ProjectFearlessness @benroyce Hadn't thought of that. Even the Old Testament God was somewhat pro immigration, providing immigrants were prepared to integrate.

@benroyce I really like such historical perspectives. I also like the part of Plato's Laws where he says that the rich shouldn't have more than 4 times what the poor have otherwise social unrest will follow. He said it more than 2000 years ago.
Reminds us that progress is not inevitable, but is a constant struggle. In some ways, we actually regressed compared to some previous civilizations
I happen to be of another country than Sir Ian's , the one separated by a common language , and I claim and acclaim that treasure as well . Truly a world treasure !

@benroyce Thanks for your reply, that's more than reasonable. I'll remove my comment, and that being the case, thank you for sharing such a treasure with everyone here (and wading into such a tedious cesspool as reddit to do it.)

Novara, 15enne ripetutamente picchiato dai genitori: denuncia dopo l’aiuto di un amico e dell’IA
La svolta è arrivata nelle settimane scorse, quando il giovane ha trovato il coraggio di confidarsi con un amico e con i genitori di quest’ultimo. Il confronto con persone esterne al contesto familiare lo avrebbe aiutato a comprendere la gravità della situazione.
Determinante, secondo quanto emerso, sarebbe stato anche il confronto con una nota applicazione di #IntelligenzaArtificiale. Interrogata dal ragazzo, l’app avrebbe risposto che “nessuno deve essere picchiato” e che la situazione descritta non poteva essere considerata normale

Giornata nera per Stellantis a Piazza Affari. Il titolo affonda fino al -28%.
A spaventare il mercato è il profondo cambio di strategia annunciato dal gruppo sull’elettrico, che si tradurrà in oneri complessivi per 22,2 miliardi di euro, una perdita netta nel secondo semestre compresa tra i 19 e i 21 miliardi, la sospensione del dividendo nel 2026 e una nuova emissione di obbligazioni ibride perpetue.
Secondo l'AD Filosa, gran parte dei costi deriva da una sovrastima della velocità della transizione energetica, che avrebbe allontanato Stellantis «dalle esigenze, dalle possibilità e dai desideri reali di molti acquirenti di autovetture». Un errore di valutazione che ora impone una revisione profonda dei piani industriali e di prodotto.

@manfredzielinski oh nice, are you happy with them? They look like a fancier yunohost meets AWS click and deploy.
-
@Gina I looked at them before, if they're who I think they are. It's like cPanel with a terraform interface.
I looked at the costs of their platform, plus the stuff you still have to do (assuming you do bring your own infra, and want to IaC things like spinning up stuff like databases) and couldn't see why I'd use them at all.
I don't want to diminish what they've done but I personally couldn't see the point for my personal or professional use cases.
