Looking forward to building a 4-card SLI gaming PC in 2027 for $50
#SpaceX had to scrub its #Starship launch today due to technical difficulties, but a different sort of launch took place: The kickoff of crypto investor Chun Wang's campaign to ride Starship to #Mars and back someday in the future. Will his interplanetary plan actually get off the ground? Past precedents aren't encouraging. https://cosmiclog.com/2026/05/21/crypto-investor-plans-to-ride-starship-around-mars/ #Space
Not sure if it would be right for this event, laptops + Saturday night seems like a tough ask, but was meaning to recommend the Bend Bar to you. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor space.

@theonion absolutely killed it this month with their print ads
Anyway, you can like whatever movies you like - my tolerance for fascism in my movies is very low, but I am not saying "if you can ignore fascism better than I can you are a fucking nazi."
Just that nazis like movies that agree with their fascist ideology, because it agrees with their fascist ideology and so they will see those movies multiple times, make all their friends see those movies, and in general make those movies more popular. Some of them sat through Melania. Think about that. Ick.

Philippines to Sell Up to 30B Pesos Treasury Bond Due July 2030

@Finitum It is the ONLY reliable option in many emergencies, especially if you live in fire-prone areas or earthquake areas. Remember when AT&T had the big mobile outage a few years ago and 911 told everyone to use landlines to reach them??? This is all AT&T bullshit -- they've broken every promise about fiber deployment and I've been battling them on these issues for many years. Even now you can live across the street from where AT&T has fiber and they won't let you have it on the other side.
@lauren in our neighborhood, weirdly At&t has door to door salesmen trying to sign people up for their mobile service maybe a couple times a year. I'm not sure what the angle is but probably to get more people off of landlines so they can point and say "see no ones using it!" to regulators.

OH: actual eyeball reading
@AnarchoNinaWrites I thought Starship Troopers was so blatantly satire that it was impossible to not get it. I have overestimated the intelligence of USians before.
@SordidAmok That's the thing tho - they're not not getting it. They're saying "stop laughing, that's how it should be you swine"

Hubzilla supports themes, which change how Hubzilla looks and works
The appearance and functionality of Hubzilla, a Fediverse software which has been continuously developed for 16 years now, are highly customizable. A key element for that are themes.
As an instance Administrator, you can create or install multiple themes, and make one or more of them available to your instance Users.
As a User, you can select any of the themes that your instance Administrator has made available.
If you are a Developer, you can create your own themes. Unlike some other theming systems, you can change more than the colors and images. You can change the entire HTML structure if you want using our templating system. You can mix and match the default code with your custom code, allowing you to selectively override the default templates. See the Tutorial for creating a derived theme.
A Hubzilla theme itself can contain predefined variants/flavours, called schemes. See AdminLTE and LCARS for examples of themes containing schemes.
Hubzilla themes have a light and a dark mode. The interface allows to switch between them at any time.
Some Hubzilla themes allow to define parameters on the instance level, which can again be overwritten on the user level. There are hardly any limits for such parameters. Examples of customizable parameters are "default to dark mode"; the background color and the background image (separately for the light and the dark mode); if the background image should be tiled or not; or if a collapsable sidebar should be collapsed or not.
An example for a customized functionality is the HQ tour, which is part of the AdminLTE theme.
Some of the existing Hubzilla themes are listed here. Everybody is invited to develop their own themes. We would be happy to hear from your achievements. A big shout-out goes to @Utsukta Themes, who lead the way in modern Hubzilla theme developping.
(Ping @Third spruce tree on the left and @R F who dream here and here of Mastodon being more customizable. We hope that your wish will come true one day. 💪🏽 Meanwhile, you're invited to have a look at Hubzilla and its themes. 😉)

Take for example, Starship Troopers. The base material is unquestionably fascist, written by a fascist. The movie is inarguably a subversion of fascism via rug-pulling; the director himself says this is quite intentional - he wanted to see if he could make you think fascism was sexy, and generate the emotional impact as more of the curtain gets revealed and you realize you've been rooting for the fascists because of xenophobia and cultural ques. Following?

The party in charge is outright fascist and not identified as such, but the #BrokenTimes decides to call the other party a clown car.

This abstract photo, captured inside a lighthouse with a small 35mm-format mirrorless camera and a 50mm lens, is mostly a visual pun on the concept of a lighthouse, as well as a study in diagonal and radiating lines.
It was very tight quarters, especially with the tripod. But a tripod was essential here (less for sharpness - at 1/3000 sec - than for composition and framing).

@angry_drunk something something about Mastodon culture
@angry_drunk I’ve started to mute or block relentlessly at the tiniest sign of something not sitting right with me (like making suggestions before asking first) and it’s made my experience a lot better; can highly recommend.
