Here's a photo of a sheep with a view.

I took it this morning when I was up in the Port Hills of Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, swapping over batteries in audio recorders.

It's much bigger on Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2sxpnMt

Since the Fair Mouse marketplace has been available in English for some time now, we have also revamped our club's website and translated it into English: https://fairityourself.de/en.

We hope this will help raise awareness of fair IT among more people.

#Lucilia #sericata (#Diptera) has a #Holarctic distribution. It plays a major role as a pioneer #species on animal #carcasses. L. Iancu et al. (2021) studied the fly #microbiome in the presence of the pathogen #Salmonella #enterica. The composition of the fly microbiome, dominated by #Firmicutes and #Proteobacteria, remained unaffected by it.

La condanna al carcere dell’artista Gao Zhen dimostra che il presidente cinese non ha intenzione di fare la minima concessione a chi non rispetta le sue regole. L'opinione di Pierre Haski.

Nella Cina di Xi Jinping anche...

Sergey Brin is leading a $90 million ad campaign to stop California's 5% billionaire wealth tax.

He is $133 billion richer since Trump's election.

But that's apparently not enough. He'd rather children lose access to healthcare than pay his fair share.

Greed is a sickness.

We serve top-tier commercial and defense customers, from autonomy leaders like Anduril

that's the bottom of the fucking barrel mates

@Gargron Would be cool if the collections page could also show a recent post from each person.

Probably this has already been suggested.

Alongside today's public security release, we are also preparing a feature and bug-fix release for NSD.

theses are really good pointsc

I'm not a fan of how the information in these graph is presented. Like the bar chart repeat the ordering by the position of the bars, the length and the color. It's kinda obscuring that labels order is not stable. A bit naively, I think matching each label with a color or using a bold font for opus5 might help readability.
On first quick read, I thought latest models are using longer phrase with more complex words, sounding pedantic

I know it’s easy and cool to dunk on EU red tape but this is actually sexy af: https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/right-repair-new-consumer-rights-easy-and-attractive-repairs-2026-07-31_en

For the last decade (or maybe more actually) hardware engineering has leaned heavily on proprietary screws, anti-repair software pairing, and literal buckets of industrial adhesive.
This piece treats the EU Directive as a tactical defeat for aggressive silicon anti-features.

Actually I think the right to repair is vital. We’ve got too much e-waste as it is so I welcome such efforts to make and mend.

Silicon Valley won’t like it but honestly, they are the problem in most cases

@cstross ah, sorry, I didn't realise. I've added it now.

Olympic figure skating gold medalist Alysa Liu said on Tuesday she will sit out the upcoming season to fine-tune her technique but reassured fans she would return to the sport. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/08/26/alysa-liu-2026-27-season/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #alysaliu

📝 Implementing webmentions #development #indieweb #activitypub #webdev #webmentions

I've been working on a number of connection points between my site and the broader web. Part of that effort has been webmentions (which are a fairly small spec). You advertise an endpoint and someone posts a source and target and, from there, you do with the information as you please.

Hmm, I can't post a magnet-link here, even though the #ActivityPub supports that protocol: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#sanitization

Neither via @phanpy nor via mastodon-web

The char-limit of my instance is 500, which is less than the particular magnet-link has. This seems to be the issue, the automatic validator doesn't treat it as only 23 characters like with https

Does anyone have the same issue and/or knows more ?

@ueb_team161 Within the next month or two! I am focused on shipping the new mobile app and webUI, along with federation fixes first.

It will be worth the wait though, I promise ❤️

@Marloezovic het contrast tussen de politieke- en ambtelijke wereld wordt zo ook duidelijk.

Een 'bureaucratische' post: op een platform met idealen waaraan de politiek appelleert.
Een politieke post: op X, een platform wat wordt gerunt door een uiterst rechtse maniak.

Positief gezien: als de posts van Min/Stass op social.overheid worden geembed, is de stap mogelijk ook kleiner voor persoonlijke accounts van bewindslieden.
