If you google “third amendment,” an article I published last week is the top news article! That’s because the third amendment is rarely relevant. But it is now!

I think (and argued) that hotels have a right not to house ICE agents. Yes, really.

The Third Amendment is America’s most forgotten amendment. It doesn’t get a lot of airtime. But if you want a quick constitutional refresher, gather ‘round!

Switched today to Vivaldi (vivaldi.com) as the primary browser on both desktop and mobile, and it is great. 🎆

Mastodon web interface runs lightning fast in Vivaldi and the presentation seems somehow clearer and sharper.

WTG @Vivaldi and @jon!!!

Great talk about Citizen Assemblies! So amazing how many countries around the world are working to establish or reclaim genuine democracy--the sort where we all share power.

@Friendica Support
Habe gestern meine #Friendica Stable auf "Blutwurz" geupdated (ich musste diesen schönen Namen jetzt einfach mal schreiben) 😉

Ich nutzte das #bookface scheme unter Frio.
github.com/randompenguin1/book…
Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass das ich in Desktopgröße einen kleinen Darstellungsschönheitsfehler habe.
Da steht oben jetzt einmal in english "compose" und daneben noch mal in Deutsch, "neuer Beitrag" (siehe Screenshot!). Wie kann ich das vielleicht fixen?

in reply to wolf

I think it will disappear if you update Bookface. There's a (previous) stable version of Bookface, and a version for RC. I think you should use the RC version now.
in reply to Marcus

@Marcus @wolf That's right, I had completely forgotten about that. It has been fixed in Branch 2025.07-rc, along with several other bugs that appeared in connection with 2025.07-rc.

not trying to tell you how to write your articles.

But as someone that has never heard of either side of this until reading this article - I had to go truth multiple articles via related tags just to get a sense of wtf is a GPD 😅

If i remember correctly GPD claimed Win 4 officially support Steam OS but it was just holoiso. so they are back at their nonsense again.


Habe nach dem Friendicaupdate gestern mal wieder meine Instanzinterne Föderationsstatistiken angeschaut, die #Friendica standardmäßig so fein aufbereitet. Dabei fällt auf, dass inzwischen Mastodon keine soooo riesige Dominanz mehr hat, wie das früher der Fall war. Aber es gab noch mehr Überraschungen, die ich nicht alle verstehe:

Könnt Ihr mir sagen, was es mit diesem riesigen, hier im Tortendiagramm in Giftgrün dargestellten Anteil der "#Ghost" Server auf sich hat? Was ist Ghost im Fedikontext? Gab es bei mir auf der Instanz früher nicht in der Form.

PS.: Der hellblaue Teilring unten ist Mastodon, der dunkelblaue oben links ist Wordpress, dessen Aanteil hat sich auch signifikant erhöht hat, was ich gut finde, aber auch nachvollziehen kann; wohl dank der Arbeit von @Matthias Pfefferle.
Ein Screenshot der Friendica Föderationsstatistik. Ein buntes Tortendiagram, es gibt 3 quantitativ dominierende Anteile: Mastodon, Ghost und Wordpress

Days after the killing of Renee Good, Stephen Miller and DHS began bragging that ICE agents have immunity from being held accountable.

There's a bill sitting in Congress that would end that immunity - and Democrats could right now use their sudden leverage to force its passage.

if there is one thing I know.... they won't.

Because they really sincerely do not give a single damn unless it will get them bribes and there is no money opposing this.

See why Linux’s diversity isn’t a weakness but a strength in the desktop world.

in reply to It's FOSS

Assuming there are about 3 billion computer users, it is highly unlikely that they are all satisfied with the same harmonious system or desktop, or that it meets all the requirements of all these users.

And it is absolutely dangerous when one monopolist or two corporations have control over all these people. Accordingly, it should be a concern of all people that there are numerous solutions.

Where did southern Australia’s record-breaking heatwave come from?


...This is shaping up as the worst heatwave since the Black Summer of 2019-20. The intense heat that summer contributed to catastrophic bushfires which burnt 21% of the continent’s forests, an area still considered globally unprecedented.

Independent analysis found the last heatwave between January 5 to 10 was made over five times more likely by global heating. This current heatwave is substantially worse, but we’ll have to wait for attribution studies to understand how much global heating has contributed to its overall severity....

i'm glad you had backup power and a radio. Overly-hot nights are exhausting so i hope today is more restful for you both.
Is the photo of the smoke around your place? Gadzooks!

Oh no! That isn't a photo near our place. That was a photo from the article link I provided. If it is of Longwood VIC, then it would be from where our smoke drifted here.

sometimes when i feel my code has too many confusing states, i like to stop, take a deep breath, and open the MSDN page for the MsoTrioState enum.

MsoTrioState is "a tri-state Boolean value". it has five possible values. only two of them are supported.

the only supported values are true and false.

in reply to Lynnesbian

not to mention the fact that "true" is _negative_ one, not just one. That's not confusing at all.

The waterfall at 'Akaka Falls State Park. It's not ginormous (about 135m), but the perspective of being reasonably close to level with the *start* of the falls is a nice one. #hawaii #nature


Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar
