Nothing says freedom like a forced re-education camp. https://www.kcrg.com/2026/05/20/iowa-lawmakers-move-mandate-students-take-center-intellectual-freedom-classes-amid-low-enrollment/

I'm utterly done with irony , sarcasm & ridicule. None of that is cool & all of it is cruel. The world is in desperate need of earnest & kind, now more than ever.

Hope is not naive. It's an act of will & extreme bravery.

Fuck caustic wit. Bring on whimsy. Softness is metal. Gentle is strength.

Empathy is a superpower.

@deutrino @helge Yes, we've seen that before we started with our specification years ago. But there are no official specs how this is/was implemented in the Apple universe and elsewhere. So it is more or less unusable. We are going the open way :)

Nevertheless if you have official specs for this we'll happily compare them with our WebDAV Push specs and will see if there is room for improvement.

⚠️They murdered Alex Pretti in broad daylight, while being filmed from multiple angles.

⚠️They stormed the Capitol and committed insurrection against the United States in broad daylight, while being filmed from multiple angles.

@rixx they have been trying everything for "shake to do..." First it was "take a picture" then "report an error" then something else, now this. SMDH.

in the postwar period, California had something like 1/10th of the US population but got something like 1/4th of the federal dollars being spent on/in states, and it shows

I TALKED SHIT ABOUT MARXISM AND DIDN'T GET ONE COMMENT FROM A TANKIE!

A couple of no Summer photos from our beach adventure this morning.

How to peel a sheep - the model posing for us today is a 7 year old Soay x Icelandic wether called LovelyBoy - the shearer with kitchen scissors is me. No sheep were discomforted in this process. Fleece off in one piece *boasting*, time taken 1hr 40 mins *not boasting*#Defaidodon

@cstross the load-bearing phrase here is "from the menu". either:
- popeyes is so set up that you can *only* cook items that are on the menu (eg, it's all frozen)
- this is an ex-employee
- this is someone with no imagination whatsoever
