Arsenal's Caitlin Foord struck in extra time to power the club to victory in the inaugural Women's Champions Cup on Sunday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/02/02/soccer/arsenal-womens-champions-cup-title/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #arsenal #corinthians #women039schampionscup
Videos prove, the Russian army stays online in Ukraine using network equipment from American company Ubiquiti.
Worried customers have been discussing this in Ubiquiti’s online forums, but threads have been shut down for “violating community guidelines”.
Many companies see their products sold to Russia, but Ubiquiti products are actually online, which means Ubiquiti could trace the illegal use and intervene — so why don’t they?
@randahl
Why?
As always, money.
Weird sleep schedule deployed. So obviously up at 2:00 am. Snackies?
Nah, just thirsty
This morning I turned on the coffee machine and made my espresso.
Then I turned it off and organized the rest of breakfast.
After that, I turned the coffee machine on (hey, it warmed up instantly!) and looked for my favorite cup, but I couldn’t find it.
Weird, I was sure it was in the dishwasher, clean.
Then I looked at the table and saw my lovely hot espresso already waiting for me.
If this is how the week starts, I’m not sure I want to imagine how it’s going to continue 😆
Happy Monday, #BSDCafe

Being a woman in Palestine means experiencing violence on two parallel tracks. There is the violence inflicted by the Israeli state, its military and settlers. There is also the violence perpetrated by men, whether soldiers, settlers, or husbands.
Beyond the most visible manifestations of the Israeli occupation it also slowly tears away at the fabric of Palestinian society.

@beka_valentine engineers, construction, logistics, logistics, and also several other forms of logistics too, theyve got it all
@sci_photos I don't have any reason to think so. If that's what they were doing, I doubt they'd be happy with the result they got.
This is complete speculation, but I really do think they just don't know how to design learning studies with human subjects. And it didn't even occur to them that there is such a thing as doing it well or poorly, or that they should consult with an expert. So they just grabbed the first format that came to mind, which was a programming interview. Then they added a control group without ever considering what the actual difference was between the two test conditions.
@jenniferplusplus Okay, now in retrospect; during my Physics diploma I did not encounter “human subjects”, and would also not be prepared to design such a study. But, I guess, I would seek for advice then … ?
So validating when people see the portraits you snapped, tell you “well I have a new profile picture now!” and they actually use your pictures ☺️
I’m starting to get the results I want with that camera!
"The reason nobody picks Ruby is because Python and Rust have all the good libraries except Rails" is the reason for my work. These last six weeks are just the beginning.
What libraries have caused people you know to choose a non-Ruby language?

@randahl yesterday at FOSDEM there was a member of the European Parliament who was asked why so many politicians are still on X and her answer made total sense (sadly):
Politicians stay on X because journalists are still there, so they feel that if they leave they will become irrelevant / not be written about.
And journalists stay on X because politicians are there.
It’s a vicious cycle
@_elena @randahl I think there is a rise of fascism in many countries (which does not mean people became fascist). Fascist politicians will not move from fascist platforms. Worst, the non-fascist politicians are mimicking the fascist ones to obtain votes. For instance, in the Chilean presidential election, most of the candidates focused on migration because that was the main topic of the fascist candidate. Then, non-fascists will be where fascists are.
and even in militaries, there are many many many roles that people perform that are not shooting things
spies, communications, signals intelligence, radar, drone pilot, mechanics, cooks, doctors and nurses, ware house workers, laundry workers, IT people
all very important

@TheBreadmonkey It's been a couple of hours so I've calmed down enough to say I cried a lot because that was hilarious. Thank you for sharing 😂

Black folks (across the diaspora!!) reply with your cash app, venmo, ko-fi, fedi fund ask, GoFundMe, etc if you like.
Others boost and donate!

I was interested in this story that the enormous French multinational Capgemini immediately decided to sell off a US subsidiary when it discovered it was contracting with ICE - https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2026/02/01/french-it-giant-capgemini-to-sell-us-subsidiary-after-row-over-ice-links_6750021_7.html
Is the US becoming a toxic investment environment even to multinational corporations ?
If I worked for Mastodon, I would create a turn key solution for parties that want to set up a Mastodon server for all their party candidates.
Ilhan Omar is still on X.
Bernie Sanders is still on X.
AOC is still on X.
Make it easy for them to switch. Then make sure they are aware of this option.
Update: The first part already exists on
