One of the upsides of being a goat is that you can actually climb inside your breakfast
@sundogplanets 😶🌫️ now i'm thinking of curling up in a giant breakfast burrito. mmm😋
Trump has already put 26 percent tariffs on European steel and aluminum, and he is now adding a 25 percent tariff on European cars and car parts.
I believe, this will continue until Canada, the UK, and the EU introduces a musketeer oath (one for all), so when Trump hits one of us with tariffs, we all hit back with the exact same tariffs.
If Trump knew, that his 25 percent car tariffs would immediately result in the same tariffs on US car exports to Canada, UK, and EU, he would not even try.
@randahl that should be the default response: reply with at least the same tariffs back.
Alternatively, stop the export of steal completely. We need it to build up our army and the US factories will run dry very soon.

Morning dog walk
Tiptoeing through the bluebells which are still in fine form. I have the impression that they (the bluebells, not the dugs) have arrive earlier and stayed longer than last year, although without any notes of dates for either this or last I could not verify that.
Ideal temp for running, and we have a 3/4 marathon distance planned after breakfast has gone down.

“Nederland is diep doordrenkt van racisme, niet als vreemd restant van een afgesloten verleden, maar juist als levende doorwerking van wat eeuwenlang is aangeleerd en nooit op dezelfde schaal is afgeleerd. De expliciete rassenleer verdween weliswaar uit schoolboeken, maar niet uit het collectieve geheugen en evenmin uit de maatschappelijke structuren die zij voortbracht.”
An odd bit of language I've seen over the past few years:
My _______
Where the blank is something owned by big tech. Years ago, it was "My Facebook," which no doubt was short for "my Facebook account."
Later it was "my algorithm."
Now it's "my chatbot."
NONE OF THESE ARE YOURS, PEOPLE

@adamgreenfield this is correct

On Friday, May 22nd, there’s a rumor that I might be speaking at @bsidesknoxville — and what I’ll be saying is anybody’s guess. Let’s find out together!

This took a bit longer than expected, but it's finally here: the "Join the Fediverse!" zine!
Hmm, it would be kind of neat to make a zine version of https://jointhefediverse.net 🤔

@delta@chaos.social @sovtechfund@mastodon.social @deltatouch@social.tchncs.de this makes it even more important to have a full ban on genai outputs in the deltachat project, including code, art, video, promotional material, docs, writing and everything else. we really want deltachat to be an ethical option

We're on a mission to squash as many bugs as possible before the next release.
⚠️ We need your help ‼️
Please reply with your biggest complaints about Pixelfed and how we can improve existing features and federation support.
We're not looking for feature requests, only bug reports, so we can make Pixelfed more stable and fun.
Feel free to boost for awareness ❤️
@pixelfed federated posts (e.g. from mastodon.social) don't update when they have been edited (they continue to show as the original post).
Follow requests I get don't show up in the notifications tab in the Android app (even though "show alert" is set to on). I always have to manually check for requests in the settings page
