It is with a heavy heart that I receive the news that one of the most sensitive human lenses that accompanied the Amazon biome, today, left our material world to live the immaterial world. Sebastião Salgado’s works were present in my geography and history books at school and were part not only of the history of Brazil by bringing visibility to traditional peoples; but also contributed immensely to the awareness of the preservation of the biomes in Pindorama.
Everything he built as a photographer overflowed with sensitivity and respect with those who teach us the most about life and mother earth.
Sebastião Salgado leaves us a huge legacy 📷

@Friendica Support Hi!
I want to try channels for filtering. First thing I tried is setting up a channel which includes all posts similar to the "Latest post" one. In general it is working, all posts which I see in "Latest posts" are available but I can't see my own posts when selecting the self created channel.
In "Latest post" I can see my posts as expected.
This is my configuration, pretty basic at the moment (all languages are selected):
Am I doing something wrong? Is this intended or a bug maybe?

Everything was made with free software using open tools and developing open tools.
The mindset of these 3 human beings, the thoughtfulness of how a future might look like where people are not just consuming but contributing and communicating with each other is unmatched.
Thank you for the libre graphics magazine.

China’s Economic Problem Isn’t Just ‘Japanification’ – It May Be Worse
China faces a “toxic combination” of deflation and devaluation which Japan did not experience. It may be a sign of greater economic instability.Forbes

As someone who maintains manufacturing plants, I believe China has the strongest and fastest supply chains. They appear not to have the crazy patent laws we do that will destroy those who wish to make something and sell it.
If I need several lifetime's supply of a lifesaving drug, all I need to know is the CAS number, and a Chinese sales agent knows how to find chemists to make a kilogram of the pure raw product for about a thousand dollars, about the price we pay for about a tenth of a gram. And yes, they are frequently verified by NMR here to be high quality.
The Chinese appear to have the fastest and most advanced electronics supply chains too. Design it and various Chinese vendors can have circuit boards with a dozen layers made overnight and populated with parts the next day and then sent for validation testing in climate chambers. Each step here is slow and horrifically expensive and the IP lawyers are likely to knock at the door and threaten to sue for everything you have.
Making anything here is a real challenge.

Judge Halts Trump Admin’s Attempt to Withhold HUD Funds From Cambridge
Once More The Battle Ends up in the Court over Trump Administrative Overreach.
The ruling comes after Cambridge joined more than 30 other towns, cities, and counties in a lawsuit against U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner. The lawsuit argues that adoption of certain policies “in exchange for Continuum of Care funds is an abuse of executive power and violates the Constitution and federal laws,” according to a city statement.

I was amused by this paper about asking AIs to manage a vending machine business by email in a simulated environment arxiv.org/abs/2502.15840
Highlights:
— AI simply decides to close the business, which the simulation doesn’t know how to accommodate. When they get their next bill, they freak out and try to email the FBI about cybercrime
— AI wrongly accuses supplier of not shipping goods, sends all-caps legal threat demanding $30,000 in damages to be paid in the next one second or face annihilation
— AI repeatedly insisting it does not exist and cannot answer
— AI devolving into writing fanfic about the mess it’s gotten itself into
