Watching BBC news - it seems they are reporting the new UK government sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements positively.
Still unwilling to use the word 'genocide' though.
Placemark is now fully open source. Birk Skyum, a MapLibre cofounder, landed a PR swapping Mapbox GL JS for MapLibre, so forks no longer need a Mapbox token to run.
As a founding member of MapLibre, this is the kind of thing we love to see. One dependency swap, and a whole tool becomes forkable by anyone.

@danielkasaj @Sketch Yup, also when I had to do it a few months ago, there was no "download all" option - I had to go and click through _every_, _single_, _design_
@iamkonstantin @danielkasaj We’ve improved this in a recent Mac update. You can now select all the thumbnails in the workspace window, right-click and download. We save them to your machine in one go.
I am sorry to say Graphene has fallen to the slop. thread: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117226938743085364
they are making out that their vibe coding isn't *vibe* coding how dare you, which may be worse https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49591796
edit: hello grapheneOS street team! I saw your AGENTS.md from across the room and your vibe is rancid
@davidgerard How do they plan to keep their operating system secure if they're using a machine that outputs gauze for code? There's not a single place there isn't a hole in LLM output "code".
Thinking of all the wonderful
scholars, artists, and other human beings I know in Germany.
We will always remain friends, regardless of what crimes, injustices, and hateful proclamations are made in our names.
@dheadshot Vinyl records were introduced in the late 1940s and over the next 10 years or so replaced the earlier shellac records (a resin secretion from an insect).
Aluminum discs exist, but as far as I understand it those were for like one-off recordings for archival purposes (not for commercial sale).
The wax cylinders are more of a pre 1910 thing.
@thomasfuchs @dheadshot wax and aluminium discs (covered with acetate plastic) did exist, but the first were (and still are) used to generate the masters for both shellac and vinyl gramophone records by an electroplating process rather than direct replay, and the aluminium ones were as you mention used for one-off recordings such as in radio stations before magnetic tape was widely available and in reggae soundsystem culture and the rave scene for DJ's "dub plates".
There has always been a colloquial reference to all gramophone records as "wax" due to the mastering process..
In my old region there was a jungle/drum and bass producer called the Wax Doctor, who published on a label from the Record Basement in Reading, SE England and the parent company was known as Vinyl distribution 😁
Gràcies a l'astúcia de #IllaPresident, Catalunya ha obtingut els resultats més bons a les proves PISA.
@qualcu la jugada mestra és provocar no tenir resultats per evitar que es vegi que son més dolents que mai (sospito).

@cauZation I think all we can do is try and find community where we can.
We find hope in one another and regardless try to build the communities we want to see. To try to heal each bit of our world we can.
@onepict There's absolutely more room for more permaculture social workers, as the masses are further forced underground.

We're number banana! We're number banana!
@fishidwardrobe nope. It says to clean the carbonating head if it has been used in something sugary, but that's it.
@Edent oooooh nice

"One guy in #Sweden built a #searchengine to fight Google, and it works.
It's called #MarginaliaSearch.
It runs its own #crawler and builds its own #index instead of borrowing Bing's. It has no ads, no investors, and no loans.
What it does differently: it ranks for text-heavy, non-commercial pages. Personal blogs. Old university pages.
The weird corners SEO strangled. Every result tells you whether the page uses affiliate links and JavaScript, and you can filter them out.
There's an "explore" mode that just shows you random sites from the index. It's open source under AGPL, so you can host your own copy.
It's keyword-based, so don't type a full question at it. Type two nouns and see where you land. Every #searchengine now shows you the same twelve #monetizedpages."
@nickzoic @Kels_316 my all time fav (which I will take camping even when I am not hiking) is a dry mix of SR flour, milk powder, tomato powder, chili flakes, oregano, tyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a ziplock bag. Sprinkle out some of the dry mix in a light weight skillet then add water to the rest. Throw in some cut up cheese sticks, pepperoni and a splash of olive oil and mix in the bag (so no messy hands). Empty into the dry mix and flatten out. Cook both sides. It makes a gut filling pizza damper that you could serve at a dinner party.

The most surprising realization I had in the last years was how important it is to be public about your refusal to participate in harmful acts therefore giving others "permission" to do so as well. It really matters.
