Hungary's new government has used its big parliamentary majority to amend the constitution and remove president Tamas Sulyok and several other senior figures linked to the previous nationalist administration of Viktor Orban. All opposition Fidesz MPs boycotted the vote.

@aral
My friend, please, I need your help. I am going through very difficult times, and my husband Mahmoud’s condition is getting worse every day. His mother is also very ill and needs treatment.
My three daughters need care and basic necessities, and my little daughter Ariam needs milk and diapers. I feel exhausted and sometimes lose hope. I can’t carry all of this alone
Please help me by sharing my story with others. Maybe it will reach someone who can help us. You are our last hope after God

💥 Black Hole Shredded a Massive Star in the Most Powerful Stellar Explosion Ever Seen

｢ The event, officially named AT2024wpp and nicknamed the Whippet, briefly released as much energy as 400 billion Suns. That makes it far more powerful than a typical supernova and brighter than any previously observed explosion powered by the collapse of a star ｣

@rupdecat @djoerd I have the impression also outside the FediVerse there is some concern, but a categorical No will not make much of an impact.

and so it begins? 🙏

"subprime computing" (who coined that?), how accurate.

@markwyner ohhhh hell yeah that’s some good knowledge. Thanks for sharing dude.

@fahrni So cute! There's one in the condo complex here, and both housemate and I have failed to get a pic. It's so quick.

@Sobex Pas encore de lien vers le programme en question, il a visiblement été envoyé en amont à Libération et au Monde pour leurs articles, avant d'être officialisé mis en ligne, ce qui ne devrait plus tarder.

@ben they're mostly rubbish. A large number are things that are outside the threat model, repeats. We do get the odd real issue, but those are usually low severity. Stats on the percentage of that peak last month are a bit delayed as triage takes a while, but we'll give all the stats eventually.

The Trump admin's embarrassment that it reportedly charged taxpayers millions "to retrofit a flying bribe that still isn't secure enough for hostile times does not supersede the need for a free and independent press," FPF's Seth Stern told Newsweek.

My retirement day job is looking after the security committee at Apache Software Foundation. So if you're interested in how we're coping after going from getting 50 vuln reports a month to over 800 (yeah those extra 750 are AI) come say hi at #emfcamp (I'll mention it briefly in my Sun talk too, but the talk has nothing about vulnerabilities, security, Apache, or Heartbleed).

Wow. Not a lot of corporations have hit the achievement of "Too Creepy for the LAPD".

@gaditb actually, I think ao3 is a nontrivial website I could see described as being something that goes in this direction. it’s not capital-B Brutalist, but y’know

@Yaku a Portixeddu meeting della pista anarchica 🤣 dai la prossima volta almeno una pizza! piacere di avervi conosciuti 🥳

works fairly nice on OP6 (well, 2 fixes later). Still laggy, but well. It's _really_smooth on Steam Deck tho

would be nice if we had these everywhere

(nevermind me missing the back button; i was looking at the phone I was filming from instead)

I get that. ffffound was wild. But there was also a context. I recently go this shared to me, https://reffffound.com, and it just doesn't feel the same. I really liked are.na for a while, still do, kind of, butbless obsessed with it.

@liaizon @mbajur @pppond

i don't know why men are afraid of the friend zone. what would they prefer, the danger zone?

what's the german word for the reply-guy who thinks they're asking a profound question that no one else has ever thought about before, but is in actuality just a tedious and contrarian reply-guy
