The United States presented a Russian made peace plan that in the long rung would turn Ukraine into a new Russian vassal state, right on the border of the EU; and then Trump said, Ukraine was required to sign the plan before Thanksgiving.

Not one EU leader has had the courage to stand up and say, this US administration has now sided with our enemy.

Not one.

How are we supposed to defend freedom, when those in charge close their eyes to a direct frontal assault happening in broad daylight?

Needed a new pair of appointment socks to work on - chaos socks! Playing with slip stitches on the front and the usual narrow midfoot rib on the sole. Such neon colours will shock all who know me 😆

I joined Mastodon in 2016 and wouldn't have started @pixelfed if it wasn't for the interest and support I found on Mastodon back in 2018.

I owe so much to you guys, and am forever your #1 fan.

Last year, I checked the “viscount” box on the British Airways registration.

Now my spam begins with “My Lord”

They didn’t know which factory had built him and there was no serial number or manual anywhere, but they decided they would love him for however long his battery lasted. #grickledoodle #robots #love #loss #human #cartoon #art #drawing

Because we are all* gathering for Thanksgiving, today's little knowledge dump is how Rapid Antigen Tests work.

*(In the US, unless we're not.)

Think about a virus particle. You've seen drawings, at least. There are multiple copies of the surface proteins on each particle. So multiple places for an antibody to stick.

The tube of liquid that comes in the test has anti-virus antibodies with dye molecules attached to them dissolved in it. (At low concentration, so it doesn't look colorful.) …

Top court rules EU nations must mutually recognize same-sex marriages

The Court of Justice of the European Union said in a statement on Tuesday that any refusal to do this 'is contrary to EU law' and 'infringes not only the freedom to move and reside, but also the fundamental right to respect for private and family life.'

@bhaak Compared to "users directly downloading and running VideoPlayer9000NotAVirus.exe" as mentioned above, an attacker having to actively exploit anything at all is very much "depth" in this circumstance, even if it turns out to not be all that deep.

(Sidenote, I wonder if VLC would be interested in implementing native "blast door" sandboxing and privilege-dropping in the GUI player similar to what browsers have done, if they haven't already?)

OH FFS!

Did one of my favorite cleaning hacks today: cleaned my silver jewelry with aluminum foil, baking soda, and boiling water. Make sure to use a glass bowl, put foil in, add baking soda (I guess I used like 3 tsp?), put items in making sure each touches the foil, add boiling water so all is underwater, and wait a couple of minutes. Most of the tarnish transfers to the foil! Remove items, wipe with microfiber, and done.

You meet the users where they are.

You have literally no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable

Who knows if I saved the entire firm doing this
