Friendica 2026.01 released !
Just noticed the new friendica version has been released 😀. See github.com/friendica/friendica…
For u3a.social I'll be doing an upgrade on a test instance as soon as I can and then plan for the live upgrade (I'll also want to switch to native rather than docker database).
The nice thing about test upgrades is you get to test your backups !

People Are Saying TikTok’s New Terms And Conditions Are Terrifying — Here’s What You Agreed To Share
"The alarm is a fair reaction," one privacy lawyer said.
"But one of the other most startling lines within the new TikTok terms and conditions is about what TikTok states it can learn about our lives. TikTok states it will collect sensitive user-generated information that your posts and comments might provide. This 'may include...information you disclose in survey responses or in your user content about your racial or ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status, or financial information,' according to the privacy policy."

OpenAI’s president is a Trump mega-donor / Greg Brockman said he started “getting involved politically” in 2025.
OpenAI’s co-founder and longtime president, Greg Brockman, didn’t just make a run-of-the-mill donation to the main pro-Trump super PAC — together, he and his wife Anna’s September 2025 donations equaled the largest of them all, totaling $25 million to “MAGA Inc.,” per a recent filing. The Brockmans’ donations made up nearly one-fourth of the six-month fundraising cycle.
It’s the latest in a string of examples of tech executives cozying up to President Trump’s administration, happening as the administration pushes to aggressively back the AI industry and defang state-level regulations that companies like OpenAI have largely opposed. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment...

Isn't just wonderful that clothes come with their sources? If you slice the different parts off with a seamripper, lay them all down, trace them on new fabric, cut them out, and stitch them back together, you can effectively clone and fork garments. I realize that this is probably real obvious to most people, but it only dawned on me recently.
So, that’s what I’ve been up to, most nights my laptop is stowed away to make room for the sewing machine on the nav table. It all began when the store that made the patrol cap that Rek and I wear stopped carrying it. The seams of the old worn-out cap were cut, new 14oz canvas was bought and the cap was cloned, twice! I enjoyed the process so much, I made a new messenger backpack, fixed ripped panels on my winter jacket, sown tartan wool arm warmers and some other things. At one point, I realized that I was wearing six items of clothing I had made or mended.
I have some old clothes i loved but are unfixable stowed away for exact the reason of remaking them in different fabrics 😁

This is frustrating because the unnamed people advising that were wrong. It confuses trapping page focus in a modal to blocking users from using the rest of their browser. Also, ugh APG.

If you find someone advising it, be wary of their UI / accessibility chops.

Accessibility advice around modals have commonly taught us to trap focus within the modal. Upon further research, it seems like we no longer need to trap focus within the (even in modal mode).Zell Liew (CSS-Tricks)
