I really needed to be left alone, no one touching or disturbing me last night, so Oscar decided it was a great idea to spend ALL NIGHT shoving my feet off of the bed with his sprawling, lying on top of my ankles, and repeatedly poking me in the legs with his pokey paws. I do not feel well rested. 🥲

@BjornW couldn’t agree more :)

@dangillmor it would be mildly interesting to see what would happen at Google if the Canadians rename one of the three other Great Lakes they share with the Americans.
(And let's see DJT react to Lake Superior being renamed Lake Obama)

@neongod @nivex @leah Because FFS the goal is not some mystical "purity".

It's to protect users as best we can from junk code that's going to trash their data (see: rsync slop fiasco) and potentially make them dependent on programs that are no longer free software (and over which there will likely be future copyright status disputes) to access their own computers and data.

Trans people in Wales need your help right now (a thread).

NHS Wales are hitting pause on all gender affirming surgeries while they do an enquiry into why Welsh patients are getting the care they need (unlike in England, Scotland and NI).

Cis folks - keep reading and do the action points in this thread, then boost and directly contact your other cis friends to get them to do the same.

Non comprate i Pixel 11 se siete interessati a utilizzare #GraphenOS. Ma anche se non siete interessati, non comprateli lo stesso... Restate su Pixel 8,9 e 10 o aspettate il Motorola

«Sconsigliamo vivamente l'acquisto di dispositivi Pixel 11. Pixel 8, 9 e 10 offrono una sicurezza complessiva molto migliore per GrapheneOS»

Dopo il vostro exploit con Radicle, stavo giusto studiando anche io IPFS per la mia minchiata (Cfr. https://marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/) e, se avete un vostro server su cui poter far girare IPFS (e.g. Kubo) non dovrebbe essere troppo complicato.

Sto facendo esperimenti, anche se a me non conviene tenere il PC sempre acceso e dovrei usare un servizio di pinning (non ne trovo, in Europa 🤬) e un gateway.

…Sixth place in the worst death cultists on Earth per capita. Here we begin to get into countries telling themselves they’re taking NetZero seriously (plus the obvious outlier).

In descending order:

Russia (p)

Czech Republic (c)
Estonia (c)
Japan (c)
Germany (c)
Finland (c)

They are in the 8 to 10 tonnes of CO2 per person per year category.

@Sylvhem @lou_de_sel peut-être mais je sais pas si c’est une bonne idée que la seule solution disponible soit d’étendre le régime du mariage aux relations amicales/multiples étant donné les nombreuses spécificités et contraintes du mariage. Une partie de la revendication c’est + de flexibilité j’ai l’impression

AUTISTICI/INVENTATI: non è "terrorismo", è SOVRANITÀ. E dobbiamo parlarne - il video di @lastknight

Autistici/Inventati, storico collettivo italiano, è finito nella lista USA delle designazioni per terrorismo, con lo stesso strumento usato contro reti legate al terrorismo internazionale: un atto amministrativo, l’Executive Order 13224/OFAC, non una sentenza.

I am genuinely astounded at how poorly the UK #Labour government has prepared the ground for plug in solar (also known as balcony solar).

It’s as if they have no idea how big the take up has been in other European countries or the notion that this could be a big issue between renters and landlords.

Byline Times helpfully have looked into compliance. Please read before thinking of purchase whether you are a renter, home owner or landlord:

@engedal okay, den kommer øverst på listen. Blev lige nu færdig med ‘The Palm House’ af Gwendoline Riley, og den kan jeg desværre ikke anbefale meget kraftigt 📚

It’s honest work!

@rolle
As you say, these are excuses. There is no excuse for being ignorant - it's entirely a personal decision. Maybe they're not ready for the real world yet - but it isn't going to wait for them, and they'll get left behind by the quicker and brighter.

@rolle Mietin mikähän siinäkin on, että niin useasti tunteet kuohuaa ja netissä "otetaan puolia" ja asiat menee jopa väkivaltaiseksi. Missä on se netti jossa oletuksena kunnioitetaan toista vaikkei nähtäisikään ihan yksi yhteen?

Tykkäsin sinun internet-postauksesta jossa mainitsit että somessa kaikki tehdään nykyään tykkäysten perässä ja interaktiot on onttoja. Onkohan niin, että samat voimat myös tekevät internetin ihmismassoista ärtyisämpiä, pinna palaa puhki nopeammin, ja kaikelle koitetaan löytää piikityksiä ja vastakkainasetteluja vaikkei niitä tarvitisisi olla?

Kind of telling how the attempts by fascists to take over the Furry fandom were largely rebuffed isn't it? Unlike what we're seeing with large FOSS projects like Linux and Mozilla there is no centralised authority who can be bribed into opening the door for the far right carrying buckets of cash and slop, no individuals who are so entrenched in power they feel they can become millionaires by selling out everything they pretend to support and attempting to take more control. Our wannabes will only ever be wannabes.

Be decentralised, be unmonetisably weird in your fandoms and don't ever let someone start to try to position themselves as a king, even if they come off as cool at the start.
