Found one more. Runners crossing the longest hanging bridge of the Alps (494m).
Very serious news headlines in Denmark today, after Danish Police has confirmed a technical glitch has lead to the deletion of data in the Danish Crime Registry.
Certain records of serious crimes committed by some criminals are unavailable. This means, the police is unable to confirm that a person being hired for a kindergarten job is not a convicted pedophile, or a person seeking a rifle permit is not a violent criminal.
Considerable resources are now committed to recreate the registry.
@randahl thanks Claude!

Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.
We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.
Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.
Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.
A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

I've not seen a political scandal as serious as this before in my life, and I remember Harrold Wilson's election in 1964.
Secret filming includes #RobertJenric being introduced to a donor for "off the books" polling (by a senior Reform official) and later, filming where #NigelFarage acknowledges that knew this was happening.

We Mastodon users have done it again!
After 10,000 views of my latest video, the stats show that the external viewers arrive from
Mastodon 50 %
Facebook 6 %
Bluesky 2 %
Threads 0.4 %
When there is an algorithm, corporations decide whether posts with links to competing platforms like YouTube are visible to other users.
When there is no algorithm, we the users decide what is boosted.
Choose Mastodon! ♥️🐘
Given Debian's recent vote to allow slop in their OS, I think we should have a second vote on whether or not to redirect the 500 GBP that we were going to donate to them somewhere else. I don't think they would have been a recipient of our largesse if the votes were held today. #SocialCoopGovernance

HELP NEEDED! PLEASE RT
My Husband has just been made redundant.
He was the Art director on Disney Dreamlight Valley who actually turned the project around from yet another mobile game, to the multiplatform, biggest success Gameloft has ever had with a game.
He was also supporting mine and our daughter's disabled asses. We now have no private insurance and have come up against brick walls in the Quebec public health system.
We basically need him employed ASAP in the Montreal. Please RT!
@gsuberland i want scoot dot display where it‘s a fixed set of dots that just scoot around
@gsuberland man now I'm thinking about how one would build this. movable electromagnet is the obvious design but that can only move one dot at a time. how could you move a bunch of dots simultaneously

@neil I decided to manage the negativity in my life a good while back.
I try not to engage in rage farming and I've stopped watching YouTubers who just want to tell me how shit the world is.
I've also stopped watching TV series which are just doom spirals as a plot device.
I like to stay informed, but I don't need to be constantly barraged by negativity.
@bobdvb I stopped reading the BBC news at the start of the year, and I do not miss it one bit!

Gloria Steinem worked for the CIA and dated Henry Kissinger.
when i talk about White Woman, Capitalist, Imperialist Feminism, am talking about La Steinem.
Steinem succeeded in making #feminism only about #abortion and not about the obvious endgame to smashing #inequality: #socialism.
that’s why Steinem was never the champion of #UBI or #Medicare4All. that’s why she was nowhere defending “welfare queens” from corporatists’ witch hunts.
may she rot in nevermore like Kissinger.
This month on #TechWontSaveUs, I’m doing something special. My new book HYPERSCALE comes out on October 20, so I’m bringing back DATA VAMPIRES.
In Episode 1, I explore how data centers went hyperscale — and the role of the cloud in how we got to this point.

@tvaziri @glancepop I have some updated thoughts to share with the world about switching password managers. I hope to get to writing them down this weekend.
@rmondello @tvaziri @glancepop Ricky, is there anyway to have the Apple Passwords app protected by a different password than the Mac’s login password? Probably a bit belts and braces, but I don’t want my password manager unlocked by my Mac’s login password. This is chief amongst, an admittedly, diminishing number of reasons for not wanting to switch to Apple’s Passwords app.
@Ralph alt text added.
I wonder if I see enough doom and gloom to be reticent to read even more, or to need to see fundamentally the same issue with such a frequency.
So while part of me wishes that there was a UK-focussed publication that I could support, I think it goes deeper than that.
