@Friendica Support Die folgende #Frage hatte ich schon einmal gestellt, sie aber irrtümlich wieder gelöscht:
Ich habe mir einen zusätzlichen #Circle eingerichtet, den ich nur als #Feedreader nutzen will. #Feeds, die dort landen, werden jedoch nicht in diesem Circle angezeigt, sondern unter "Alle Kontakte bzw. Kontakte". Was muss ich tun, um die Feeds nur in diesem neuen Circle anzuzueigen und den Rest unter "Alle Kontakte"?
I’m an amateur lisper, mostly #Guile and #EmacsLisp, but if someone wants to team up for this #GameJam, I’d be interested!
I also do some basic art, game design, sound, and music. I wouldn’t want to be the sole programmer for this jam but could definitely contribute there and would love to learn more #Lisp.

Is Linux Ready For Mainstream Gaming In 2025?
Linux is quietly gaining ground on Windows in the gaming space. But how well does it actually perform? Here's what I experienced.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
i've been noticing more websites not including GST in listed prices, which, to my understanding, is illegal unless you're advertising exclusively to other businesses:
Businesses must display the total price of a product or service as a single figure. This price must be the minimum total cost – the lowest amount a customer could pay, including any taxes, duties and unavoidable or pre-selected extra fees.
here are two websites i've seen doing this in the past week alone - red hat and patreon. patreon in particular is in no way aimed at business-to-business transactions.
Price displays
There are laws about how businesses display prices. They cover how prices are displayed, and what must be included in the displayed prices.Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

The cold, hard facts are that #postdocs are the main drivers of scientific publications everywhere. If you want to make a society great, you have to protect the main drivers of innovation. It is absolutely short-sighted to cut funding in hopes of cutting costs. There are other areas of tax-payer monies to prioritize for cost-cutting. Research has a massive multiplier effect that is felt for many generations.
