@neauoire Thanks! Going to request some of these for pickup for the next time the book bus comes by. (The book bus is such a great thing, do you have it as well? Part of the libraries in town)

I'm working with @dopatwo on a 10th anniversary Mastodon merch design and the sketch he sent me is so good. I usually don't even talk about these things until they're done but it's so exciting I just have to vent it.


Accidentally stumbled across a fascinating escape hatch from some of the more annoying limits of symbolic rewriting engines, by allowing the count of items in a multiset to be a pointer to the number of some other items in the bag. Tiny change, huge ramifications.

the problem with this sort of game is that you spend 90% of your time in the first 10% of the game. Perhaps it has appeal to some, but having played it for a few hours I have asked for a refund. I cannot see myself spend time in the first few screens, throwing away my precious spare time.

Report: Shipping data contradict US claims of blockade success

US Centcom commander Brad Cooper said that “US forces have completely halted economic trade going in & out of Iran by sea.”

cnbc.com/2026/04/15/us-strait-…

But shipping data show that 14 ships on the US sanctions lists crossed the strait, 7 from Iranian ports.

In addition, TankerTrackers said Iran shipped 9m barrels of crude oil since the start of the blockade.

in reply to DrALJONES

To me it's just a gesture from the US to sell the coming deal to the Americans as something they have forced on Iran. While in reality blockading Iran's import and export doesn't help the US in this deal. 47 fucking years of sanctions on Iran has taught them a few things.


@neauoire I was looking at Neralie and Arvelie and I really like both heh. Question tho: how do you pronounce Neralie timestamps?

The obvious pronunciation for "750:000" would be "at 750 beats". Is that the way you'd say it?

License compliance is core to #OpenSource #FOSS.

When building on an existing code base it matters to get it right.

It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms.

The European Age Verification App is ready.

It will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms. Just like shops ask for proof of age for people buying alcoholic beverages.

And it ticks all the boxes:
✅ Highest privacy standards in the world
✅ Works on any device
✅ Easy to use
✅ Fully open source

More info: link.europa.eu/HmnrJc

in reply to European Commission

If it is for parents to raise their children, then why is age verification needed at all? Parents have all the tools they need already - most devices come with parental controls, and of course they can decide when to give devices at all.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron What I (as a father of two, 10 and 12) am missing is parental controls *inside* the apps.
Think checking in on what my boys listen to on Spotify. Think maybe whitelisting people in WhatsApp.
I have strong parental controls set up, some apps are too useful to pass over but equally to dangerous in inexperienced hands.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Because parents collectively have been doing a purely shit job of it for the last two decades and thats indisputable fact.

@Gargron If big tech cared about children they would ship devices all set-up day one and not rely on parents navigating the often impossible maze of parental controls.

Basic things often make parental controls worthless. My son had an Amazon tablet with the Outlook app installed but as it had an in app browser it removed all the search restrictions I had set up with the default browser so my son had full access to the internet.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron with all due respect , it's easy to argue that from a purely observant perspective.

However there is clear evidence, that despite doing their best (and also not, as is always the case) parents are not able to intervene as much as they d wish,even if they know of and have all the tools to, bc there is a clear addiction-pattern instigated by cooperations.

This certainly is where responsible politics come into play.

I understand the objections,but it's not on the parents.
@EUCommission

in reply to ☁️ Adrenalinda ,,,

@Lautschrift You could regulate against addictive dark patterns in web applications without introducing surveillance for all adults. I also grew up without any parental controls and I'm still alive.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
What makes you think you can trust the so-called "parental-controls" on those devices ?

feels like it was not so important. Let them do their own Linux for their CPU and do whatever they want on their swamps.

ACK! I should have put this Pizzicato Five song up during the Artemis II flight. The band uses a sound clip from a previous NASA space flight. Lots of funky mid-century modernist spacy sounds.
