A surge in global temperatures has caused widespread bleaching and death of warm-water corals around the world. Without rapid action to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, other systems on Earth will also soon reach planetary tipping points, thresholds for profound changes that cannot be rolled back. nature.com/articles/d41586-025…

The question is not how we can stop climate change. The question is how can we save what we can. #Environment

I was kind of in a rush to get these done and out the door. I hope they work for people because I won't have any time to look at them again for a few days.

I'm trying out Bookface on my website. A few minor things still bother me (e.g. spacing between menu items). But overall, I'm very happy with it. Thank you for this theme. And thank you to my web host @Markus Weingärtner-Klinger for his great support.

NPR 'founding mother' Susan Stamberg has died


Susan Stamberg, an original National Public Radio staffer who went on to become the first U.S. woman to anchor a nightly national news program, died Thursday at the age of 87.

Knowing the construction companies he will use, like the border wall, it will fall over some time after he leaves office.....

La IA generativa está transformando la realidad, pero no del modo «magnánimo» que proclama su campaña mediática. En este hilo [ampliable] recomiendo la labor de colectivos, organizaciones y personas que investigan e informan, con una postura crítica, sobre los perjuicios de esta tecnología.

Bookface User Styles?


in reply to Random Penguin

I know I said I'd like to stop updating the Bookface Userstyles but I went ahead and did it anyway. In part because I've needed to start using them again myself over at Friendica.World, which switched to the Release Candidate and the Bookface schemes get overwritten every time the server is updated or something.

Anyway, I started by adding all the Bookface 1.8.5 server-side changes to the Userstyles for Friendica Stable:

DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Stable

And then did the same for the upcoming version:

DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Release Candidate

Instructions on how to use the Userstyles can be found in the Bookface Wiki

in reply to Random Penguin

@Random Penguin I'd be fine with you dropping it, no idea what my host installed here, I'll just poke them to adjust things if necessary when the chaos over here settles

Resistir la hiperconectividad es un acto político, es decidir que no todo lo que vibra merece nuestra atención. Nombrar lo que nos hacen las tecnologías nos permite volver a habitarlas desde el cuidado, el cuerpo y lo común.

wow, a lot of good improvements!

E.g. multibinder + maggots.

And, for sure, I hope the Steam Input would fix the sleep+wake-up issue when playing with remote controller.
