On the seemingly endless #WarOnNature that the Luxon government is pushing, polluters would need to be paid if communities require them to stop damaging thei water, air and soil.
Sounds like exactly the opposite of what should happen, right?
Read more about it, and get ready to stop it together!

BREAKING: A catastrophic breach has impacted Discord user data including selfies and identity documents uploaded as part of the app’s verification process, email addresses, phone numbers, approximately where the user lives.

@404mediaco good thing I've not done 'age verification' on any site. I'm not stupid, I know it is a scam, and has nothing to do with age verification.

General public debate in Norway now includes whether Trump will punish Norway if not given the Nobel Peace Prize, like Hitler did in 1935.
Prime Minister Støre says to be not worried (probably said as a part of the continuing tRump rump smooching),
Kåre Aas, but former Ambassador to USA says "one have be prepared though",
while Trump's former "National Security Advisor" John Bolton explains that "Trump divides the world into two types of people: Winners and losers. Himself he is a winner, so must win this award. It's a simple as that." while if it doesn't happen the crimes against peace bully "will probably blame the [Nobel] committee and the media for cheating him out of the prize. Maybe he will also make a play for Svalbard." said Bolton, probably referring to the repeated threats to invade Denmark to take Greenland.
Yes, of course, typical Nobel Peace Prize awardee behavior.

@wikidata thanks for sharing this! did the recording get uploaded yet?
I’m a failure as an engineer 😪
I can't put an Otterbox on a phone, either.
Dry those tears! There's hope for us in the humanities!
U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to send troops into Chicago and Portland, Oregon, was met with mixed reactions in a pair of contentious court hearings Thursday, both of which ended without rulings. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/10/world/politics/trump-troop-plans-hearings/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #donaldtrump #us #portland #chicago

Why do you not want studs? Mollys in drywall won't hold most curtains.
@Uair Yeah that plastic anchor didn’t go through the stud (obviously). I ended up just using the screw

J'ai commencé Cyberpunk 2077. (Ouais je sais, je retarde.)
C'est vraiment woao 
: les environnements, les détails, les textures, les lumières, les mouvements, le doublage français... 👌
Et c'est vraiment très queer-friendly 😄
@sebsauvage je sais déjà quelle fin tu vas choisir 🤣
Obligatory note and highlight: this is for Niri only. I have no intention of ever supporting another compositor within the tool, unless I switch away from Niri.
Small progress was made on the tool: I'm experimenting with parsing the imagined configuration into something the tool can then work with.
It's going to be a little more complicated than originally anticipated, but I'll make do.
One obstacle I'll have to tackle later is good error messages. I want to emit similar miette diagnostics as the kdl crate itself, but with my interpretations on top of the KDL document.
So that for example:
match-window title="something" {
on "no-such-event" {
no-such-action
}
}
...would correctly report that "no-such-event" is not known, neither is "no-such-action", and would do the fancy diagnostics that point to the exact place.
Just had to turn off the stupid AI bullshit on @DuckDuckGo for the third time. It used to remember my settings, but I guess they care more about trying to jam AI down our throats than about respecting their users choices.
Totally ambivalent about going to tonight's Antifa Cadre meeting.
I broke a nail on my bowling hand, and I know it will throw me off my game.
On the other hand, chili-cheese fries.
@GeePawHill I didn’t have my glasses on and first read this as “Antifa Crèche”. Very different vibe, but still works.
AI models can acquire backdoors from surprisingly few malicious documents
Anthropic study suggests "poison" training attacks don't scale with model size.
