Introduction

After extensive investigation, detailed analysis, and numerous community consultations, I am compelled to present a thorough exposé on an individual operating under the username Goat. The substantial body of evidence compiled herein reveals a deeply disturbing and persistent pattern of behavior encompassing unsolicited and inappropriate direct messaging, overt racist rhetoric, blatant homophobia, and sustained transphobia. This post aims to meticulously document the full scope of offenses attributed to Goat, thereby ensuring the Lemmy/Piefed community is fully informed and empowered to take decisive and appropriate action.

Background and Context

User Goat has been an active and vocal member of Lemmy since mid-2023. However, beneath their ostensibly regular participation lies a deeply troubling persona that has repeatedly manifested itself through harmful and hateful actions. Notably, Goat has openly admitted to prior involvement in neonazi forums before migrating to Lemmy, where they have consistently and unapologetically defended neonazi ideology and related hate groups. This behavior is exemplified on the widely defederated hilariouschaos instance, where Goat’s rhetoric has actively contributed to toxicity and the spread of extremist content. Such a background underscores the profound risk Goat poses to community safety and cohesion.

Unsolicited Inappropriate DMs

A significant number of users have come forward reporting that they received unsolicited explicit images from Goat. These images, shockingly including graphic and deeply offensive butthole pictures, were accompanied by messages that ranged from disturbingly demanding to overtly coercive. In multiple cases, Goat unabashedly pressured recipients to reciprocate by sending similarly explicit images of themselves. To empirically verify the extent and consistency of this behavior, I created two alternate accounts, both of which promptly received such disturbing messages, demonstrating the pervasive and predatory nature of Goat’s conduct.

Racism

Goat’s engagement in racist behavior is both frequent and virulent, as evidenced by multiple documented incidents, including but not limited to:

• Defending Neo-Nazi Ideology: Goat has issued explicit defenses of neonazi groups and hateful ideologies, as clearly displayed here.
• Cheering on Indigenous Erasure: In numerous posts, Goat has actively celebrated or trivialized the erasure of indigenous peoples and cultures, a behavior captured in this instance here.
• Racial Slurs Against Cubans: Direct racial slurs targeting Cuban individuals or communities have been posted by Goat, exemplified here.

Homophobia

Goat demonstrates consistent patterns of homophobic language and acts intended to demean and marginalize LGBTQ+ members of the community, including:

• Usage of Homophobic Slurs: Open and unapologetic deployment of degrading and harmful slurs targeting gay and queer individuals example here.
• Targeted Harassment of Furry Users: Suggesting that a furry user would fuck their dog to death is a particularly cruel and malicious insult directed towards community members expressing alternative identities or interests, as documented here.
• Mocking Safe Space Efforts: Habitually belittling initiatives aimed at fostering inclusive and safe environments within Lemmy demonstrates Goat’s willful disregard for queer and minority support structures view incident.

Transphobia

Goat’s persistent transphobia further deepens their profile as a toxic presence within the community. Documented examples include:

• Deliberate Misgendering: Despite explicit corrections, Goat repeatedly uses incorrect pronouns to disrespect and invalidate trans individuals, a documented behavior found here.
• Questioning Trans Legitimacy via Concern Trolling: Goat employs false concern to undermine the legitimacy of trans identities, casting doubt and fostering a hostile environment, as seen here.
• Equating Access to Hormone Replacement Therapy with Communism: In a misguided attempt to discredit trans healthcare, Goat has implied that insurance coverage for HRT is tantamount to communism, weaponizing political rhetoric to delegitimize essential medical access reference.

Recommendations

• Instance Ban Goat:
  Given the scope, severity, and repeated nature of Goat’s violations, it is imperative to enact an immediate and permanent ban on Goat’s account across this instance and every other Lemmy/Piefed instance ran by admins who want to at least pretend to care about their community. This is necessary to prevent further harassment, explicit content dissemination, and hateful rhetoric, thus safeguarding community members.

• Defederation of SJW Instance:
  In light of ongoing moderation failures by SJW admins that allow users like Goat to continue harmful conduct unchecked, serious consideration should be given to defederating the SJW instance altogether. This measure would help prevent the spillover of such toxic behavior and protect the wider federated community integrity.

Summary and Call to Action

In conclusion, the evidence speaks clearly and unequivocally: Goat represents a multifaceted and significant threat to the safety, inclusivity, and fundamental well-being of the Lemmy community. This threat manifests through:

• Repeated sending of unsolicited, explicit images accompanied by coercive demands.
• The propagation of racist ideology and racial harassment.
• Open homophobic attacks and undermining of queer rights and safe spaces.
• Persistent, covert, and overt acts of transphobia.

The collected documentation is thorough, corroborated, and deeply unsettling. Protecting our community from such pervasive harm demands swift, resolute, and collective action.

Let this post stand as both a stern warning and a meticulously detailed record, designed to prevent future harm and preserve the safe, respectful environment we all deserve in this shared space.

If anyone possesses additional evidence or has further concerns, please respond below or reach out directly to the moderators or administrators for confidential handling.

Paris (AFP) – Nearly 40 years after breaking off Antarctica, a colossal iceberg ranked among the oldest and largest ever recorded is finally crumbling apart in warmer waters, and could disappear within weeks.

Earlier this year, the "megaberg" known as A23a weighed a little under a trillion tonnes and was more than twice the size of Greater London, a behemoth unrivalled at the time.

The gigantic slab of frozen freshwater was so large it even briefly threatened penguin feeding grounds on a remote island in the South Atlantic Ocean, but ended up moving on.

It is now less than half its original size, but still a hefty 1,770 square kilometres (683 square miles) and 60 kilometres (37 miles) at its widest point, according to AFP analysis of satellite images by the EU earth observation monitor Copernicus.

In recent weeks, enormous chunks -- some 400 square kilometres in their own right -- have broken off while smaller chips, many still large enough to threaten ships, litter the sea around it.

It was "breaking up fairly dramatically" as it drifted further north, Andrew Meijers, a physical oceanographer from the British Antarctic Survey, told AFP.

"I'd say it's very much on its way out... it's basically rotting underneath. The water is way too warm for it to maintain. It's constantly melting," he said.

"I expect that to continue in the coming weeks, and expect it won't be really identifiable within a few weeks."

A23a calved from the Antarctic shelf in 1986 but quickly grounded in the Weddell Sea, remaining stuck on the ocean floor for over 30 years.

It finally escaped in 2020 and, like other giants before it, was carried along "iceberg alley" into the South Atlantic Ocean by the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

Around March, it ran aground in shallow waters off distant South Georgia island, raising fears it could disrupt large colonies of adult penguins and seals there from feeding their young.

But it dislodged in late May, and moved on.

Swinging around the island and tracking north, in recent weeks the iceberg has picked up speed, sometimes travelling up to 20 kilometres in a single day, satellite images analysed by AFP showed.

Exposed to increasingly warmer waters, and buffeted by huge waves, A23a has rapidly disintegrated.

Scientists were "surprised" how long the iceberg had kept together, said Meijers.

"Most icebergs don't make it this far. This one's really big so it has lasted longer and gone further than others."

But ultimately, icebergs are "doomed" once they leave the freezing protection of Antarctica, he added.

Iceberg calving is a natural process. But scientists say the rate at which they were being lost from Antarctica is increasing, probably because of human induced climate change.

Earlier in August, visitor visas were paused for people hoping to travel from the Palestinian territory of Gaza. This newly-reported decree would affect a wider group - including people living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

The decision was issued in a diplomatic cable dated 18 August, the New York Times and CNN reported.

US consular officers were told to refuse non-immigrant visas to "all otherwise eligible Palestinian Authority passport holders", the communication was quoted as saying.

That would apply to Palestinians hoping to come to the US for a range of purposes, including for business, study or medical treatment.

The move meant that officials would be required to perform a further review of each applicant, which amounted to a blanket ban on issuing visas to Palestinians, the New York Times added in its report.

Judge rules Google must share data with competitors to open up competition. Google CEO Sundar Pichai had expressed concerns at a trial in April that the data-sharing measures sought by the United States Department of Justice could enable Google’s rivals to reverse-engineer its technology. Mehta ruled last year that the company holds an illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising. At the trial in April, prosecutors argued for far-reaching remedies to restore competition and prevent Google from extending its dominance in search to artificial intelligence. Google recently said it will continue to fight a ruling requiring it to revamp its app store in a lawsuit won by Epic Games.

I'm hoping someone on here may have some similar issues trying to get Linux running on Surface devices with the Linux-Surface project. I successfully installed CachyOS and got the wireless adapter working as well.

The touch input nor pen input seem to work at all. The screen successfully detaches and reattaches but the touch and pen input don't work with either mode.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
