More updates on Jiji's urchin lifestyle. He is a thief, stealing items from my desk, Lego pieces from our builds, and Warhammer figurines while we build them. He's a beautiful majestic menace and we're impotent in stopping his reign of terror.

I'm just relieved it's a real picture. It's a very cute bird!
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron A lovely little fellow. It was fun to hang out with them. A pro tip for being in an enclosure with dozens of birds: wear a rain jacket, a leather jacket, something easy to clean, ๐Ÿ˜€.

A side note, if I may: thank you for your work!

I was going to suggest calling them Danish (pastry) and (cinnamon) Roll to match the DR from The sign.

Lety Does Unboxing the Mastodon Stuffed Toys From Mastodon


Wake up babe, new Plushtodons just dropped, and I'm unboxing them 3 feet from the sidewalk like a fucking jackass. Meet Strawberry and Blueberry! Also this is by far the most anxiety-inducing video I have ever filmed in terms of people driving by and staring at me, and boy do I hope you guys think it's worth it by the end.

I'm not colorblind! I also want to clarify, you asked me what name I gave my plushies. Not all of the plushies! Those are not their colors! The colors are peach and blue. I know it's not precisely blue, but I did not want to use the word blurple.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Well that's going to be a problem because I've been calling them that for 48 hours now and changing their names at this point will give them an identity crisis

this looks awesome, I wanted to buy it, but they are asking for 13 EUR for shipping. More than twice as expensive as the pin itself... Why is shipping to Portugal, for a pin, so damn expensive?!

When Other Scientific disciplines are brought in to bear along with a wider understanding of History the old theories fall apart.

And yes this research came out a while ago.... but the environmental movement has ignored it or missed it for some time to the point where many have never heard about it.
in reply to Joseph Teller

Verrry interesting. Well-written & 'data driven'. Science has long been our friend -- until recent #ExecutiveDisorders (USA)
I'm thinking that what is left of 'the environmental movement' is in panic mode, & should be, but is powerless in this current madman regime in the U.S., with the attending media narrative owned increasingly by Big Bro(ther)... Oil, coal, wind...

Idealogues who see their programming language as a platform for politics working on a platform who's success depends solely on neutrality, what could go wrong?
in reply to It's FOSS

The title is misleading. This is just a new Arti release. Are you going to announce that finally Tor is going Rust at every release, instead of waiting for the Tor Browser to use Arti by default?
Maybe that is part of the reason why some people are pissed of at Rust.

Hello @Raroun hope you're well. every now & then, when i have joined a different #Friendica instance in the past, i ask this same question of its Owners / Admins. always it's the same negative answer, but i live in hope!

on Masto & Sharkey instances, if the Admins are willing, it is technically possible to add FOSS emojis to the servers. consequently, on many of my instances i've been able to include these in various posts when applicable:

:linux: :archlinux: :kde: :plasma: :zenbrowser: :floorp: :firefox_nightly: :firefox: :thunderbird: :fedora: :opensuse: :debian:

so... is there yet any way that such emojis can be added to your instance, please?

in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

@Raroun

Here's a screenshot of what i now see, in draft / preview format, when i paste my original emoji-suite again, since @Raroun kindly enabled / added

the standard "Smiley Pack Addon" for Friendica


so i can see that yes, some of my desired #FOSSemojis now work, but sadly still most don't. i shall be most interested to see what might happen after this weekend. ๐Ÿคž ๐Ÿคž ๐Ÿคž

in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

FYI but every one of those โ€‹:customemojis:โ€‹ has to have the actual PNG or GIF uploaded to YOUR instance for any of them to work.

Until then they're simply not going to work no matter what you do.

They are not universal. Each custom emoji is unique to the instance that has it.

My instance might have :heart: look like this: โ™ฅ๏ธBut on another instance :heart: might look like this: ๐Ÿ’“

in reply to Droppie [opensoc]

@Droppie [opensoc]
You can view the available custom emojis via the link. This will always be a limited selection, in addition to the classic emojis.

What does it take for a distributed community to organize its own gathering from scratch? Earlier this year, a group of Tor folks set out to prove that community-organized meetings can work on a shoestring budget. But why?
