WOW! Facebook is testing limiting the number a links people can share without a Meta Verified subscription.

Some users will be limited to sharing just TWO links per month in organic posts, without a Mera Verified account!

Meta confirmed the following to me:

“This is a limited test to understand whether the ability to publish an increased volume of posts with links add additional value for Meta Verified subscribers.”

What it takes to run a sub 3:30 Marathon?

The last running plan that I finished this year was a 22 weeks Marathon plan, below are some stats:

Total distance: 1,388 km
Total time: 136:45:16
Strength training: 1,027 sets total
Fastest avg pace: 4:29 /km
Longest run (not race): 32 km
PBs: 5k @ 20:10

I finished the race strong in 3:29:38 as planned with 1.5% negative splits. I was very happy with how the entire race went, my fueling strategy, and everything in between 😀

I'm now chasing a sub 3 hrs PB. Do you think it's realistic?
What is your next race / running goal?

in reply to Moha

From 3.30 to sub 3 is a mighty jump - but if that your goal then go get it đŸƒđŸ»
in reply to Lee

@Lee6 I know, I actually think my chances are below 50% to make that happen. But the bigger the goal the more it's motivating.

The United Kingdom is coming back to Erasmus+!

Negotiations for the United Kingdom’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027 have been concluded.

It will offer significant opportunities across education, training, sports, and youth, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.

This follows the EU-UK Strategic Partnership agreed at the first ever Summit in May.

A step forward for youth, education, and cooperation, together again. đŸ€

in reply to Veza85UE

@Veza85UE @po3mah @Tarbh I would like the UK to rejoin. We have shared history, shared interests, and shared families. By all means, clown on Cameron, Farage, Johnson and May, but there's no reason to punish people who wanted to remain in the EU.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @po3mah @Tarbh Our shared history in the EU is not one of kumbaya and happy clappy cooperation, why pretend otherwise? Do you miss their EUCO veto ? For all the great work of a handful of civil servants and judges who understood the đŸ‡ȘđŸ‡ș project and built the Single Market, Brits NEVER accepted what the EU is.* I lived there at the time, I have enough reasons to doubt this notion of a few bad apples. The sense of entitlement and exceptionalism is pervasive in both camps.

Enough people have taken this premise apart that I don't have to do a whole thread on it.

But I did want to point out this paragraph, that is one of the most Anti-African things I've read recently.

This long-termism and great replacement nonsense is seeping into brains and cooking them.

It's rather very ironic that the author argues about not having new ideas in an article based on mostly disproven or at best controversial and conspiracy ideas. Cringe 😬

this was a issue I had for a while when trying to connect controllers to my Steam Deck
I knew it was possible they just wouldn't appear in the Bluetooth menu or would freak out when connecting

Turns out they just needed a firmware update even though they where brand new



Thinking of using a Raspberry Pi as your daily driver? These Linux distro options might surprise you. đŸ–„ïž

as the article talks about a distro for a child, I recommend a lot #debianedu .
(First of all I think 4 years old is too early to get contact with computers, even with screens in general)
My 11 years old kid has local access (no web) to tons of material about science, drawing, programming... And he is always discovering new secrets or option there.
For sure raspberry pi is a good platform for scratch, laby, colobot... Using #debian 😀

@Muse - that's why I used orange peels - nothing yellow, only Orange. Orange scented cleaner works as well. Tho I found Navel Orange peels - just the peels, no juicy flesh - worked as well.

The peels contain the most bitter smelling part of the fruit.

Very handy to include with incremental user backups or before doing a major version upgrade. This file can be used ad an input for dselect to restore your installed packages quickly.

You can also do something similar with pip (if you use python app packages too).

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.
