Today's lunar eclipse in Penzing was accompanied by a lot of haze in the atmosphere. This wouldn't be a problem if you just wanted to observe this natural spectacle. But it's not ideal for taking pictures. The good thing about living in the country is that you don't have to go far to escape the usual light pollution. So I was able to take the pictures right outside my front door. For my first attempt at photographing the Earth's satellite during this rare constellation, the end result isn't bad. #mondfinsternis #mond #lunareclipse #lunarphotography #photography #night

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.

Please boost for awareness.

Recently one of my friends posted an introduction post to the official Ubuntu forums.

web.archive.org/web/2025090506
(original link: discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-h )

Seems fine except for maybe a bit of bad grammar around the "I am also a furry" part right? Well turns out behind the scenes the post was edited to not say "I am queer" before mentioning being a furry, and they got in a lotta trouble with the mods. This led to them no longer feeling welcome on the Ubuntu discourse forums.

The reason given was that the word Queer is a sexual word, which is just patently untrue. Saying you're queer gives less info into your sex life than mentioning your wife/husband, and if that was banned it'd be fucking stupid. Of course by the responses of the mods, it is made clear that that's not the real reason, and instead they're making the decision because of politics.

In the next few posts I'll talk about these extremely problematic moderator responses.

In original post, the words "I am queer" have been highlighted. In the edited post, those words have been removed.
