Die Linke in Berlin-Neukölln, ja. Aber habt Ihr euch mal die CDU in Sachsen-Anhalt angeguckt?

Voyager has traveled 15 billion miles and still sent data and communicated by radio signal on 69 KB of programming but this one website tab is using 348 MB and we are totally happy with that sure this is fine.
@ashmeshedup @pixelfed I saw that, but
1) it doesn't work
2) I assume the "Fill Preview Frame" is for the preview == overview? The problem I'm having is on the detail page of an image (as you can see in the screenshots)
@sturmsucht @pixelfed that's strange.
With it toggled Off, here's how I see images in post details.

"Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff—neither of whom are diplomats—have been talking with Russia’s president Vladimir Putin about a multibillion-dollar deal to buy the assets of Russian oil giant Lukoil at the rock-bottom prices to which they have sunk because of U.S. sanctions.
Because such a sale would immediately remove those assets from U.S. sanctions, they would instantly become far more valuable." 🤑 🤯

As a corporate journalist I’m angrier about the “Zionism is racism” motion than I am about genocide. Here’s why...
"The Green Party of the UK committed one of the gravest crimes in living memory today when it passed a motion declaring that “Zionism is racism”. As a privileged Western journalist, who enjoys luxury in exchange for overlooking war crimes,I want to explain why I’m so angry right now."
#AkteTillschneider. Schliessen sich das Amt des Landtagsvize und eines Ministers aus? Oder kann man beides zugleich ausüben? Will Tillschneider nur übergangsweise Vize sein? Oder hat er das Ziel Kultusminister zu werden aufgegeben?
It could have something to do with the several hundred safety classifier refusals I got overnight from the dozens of agent sessions mandated to find container escapes. they were working in "offensive subagent spawn mode" where the main subagent does no work, it spawns a vat of children who try and escape, and then the parent observes if they get stopped by a classifier refusal and tries to respawn them to work around it. The entire context window is about container escape techniques and there is no way to clear it lmao
However, I can just use a local model to spawn a fleet of new muse instances and rsync the context files over. Maybe its time for the botnet test

Yesterday the WA ferry system (largest in the nation - if you don’t know about it, it’s far larger than you imagine) was absolutely crippled by an unofficial sick-out of engine room employees. Why not a strike? WA ferry employees are not legally allowed to strike.
Twenty-three engine room workers called out of work Monday, causing major disruptions because the workers are essential to normal ferry operations. Thousands of people across Puget Sound rush to find alternate routes amid the stopped service.
Sources who spoke to KING 5 on the condition of anonymity said Monday's actions were in response to the state not awarding raises or cost-of-living adjustments to engine room workers represented by the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association, or MEBA, following arbitration.
Engine room workers represented by MEBA were awarded 0% increases under their two-year contract, a source told KING 5. The union subsequently went to arbitration but was not awarded additional increases.
Then this from our Governor, a guy I mostly support,
In a post on X, Gov. Bob Ferguson confirmed that ferry service should be returning to normal Tuesday.
"Good news — our ferries are back in action and operating normally with just a small number of cancelled sailings this morning due to absences from last night," Ferguson wrote. "I appreciate the hard work of our Washington State Ferries staff, and look forward to continuing our partnership to improve our ferry system
"As always, my door remains open to discussing those issues, and I remain committed to improving staffing levels," Ferguson said. "That said, causing significant harm and inconvenience to the people of Washington state is not the way to address those issues."
Given that the point of this unofficial action was to draw public attention and force management/electeds to pay attention - sounds to me like fucking worked.
Well done.. I appreciate the work in that from having watched my Dad in the early 80's restore more or less that model of player piano. It had pedal bellows, though. He got it professionally tuned; my sister learned to play on it and there's only so much a nerve can take.
I think our earliest piano roll was from the late 1890's.
Standard wake up call for teenagers sleeping in late was his tube stereo playing the Boston Pops version of "Stars and Stripes Forever", badly synchronized with the player piano which had it on a roll in (more or less) the same key.
Pet peeve in West World is sometimes the piano roll doesn't match up with what the piano is playing.
@TallSimon @virtualbri Yeah, I noticed that piano in WW was clearly faking the roll. Sometimes. Though sometimes it looked about right. My piano was foot pedal only. I modified it to accept suction from a shop vac on a variable control to slow it down as to not destroy the piano! This involved, after a lot of research and planning, cutting a small hole into the piano near the pedals to create an access point into the main bellows (without doing unwanted internal damage) and inserting a 3D printed flange to attach the vacuum hose. It was a very touchy operation.

"Ask a hundred trans people what their greatest regret is in transition, and you’ll get the same answer from 99 of them: “Not starting my transition sooner.”"
This couldn't be more true. At least it is for me.

I’ve been asked to attend an event Wednesday next week in Bruxelles 🇧🇪
The *cheapest* return I can find Paris - Bruxelles Wednesday, back Thursday, is €152
And it’s €56 return to get myself to/from Paris (with a reduction card)
€208 return for an event in Bruxelles is more than I can afford
High speed rail, eh? Nice if you can afford it!

So basically five muppets with a couple of vans is enough to see the US withdraw bombers from Europe? If the USSR had known that, the Cold War might have turned out quite differently.
