Evening mastofolks.
Well, this is a sad reality check of the state of affairs in this world. Cuts to the welfare system are afoot, so it's imperative the below petition gets as many signatures as possible, and this post as many boosts as possible too, so that we say a resounding no to any more cruel cutbacks.

NO cruel cuts to benefits

The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

@mike The other thing I couldn't find on the status page was how to contact you - I was happy just leaving it and coming back to check if it was working a couple of hours later - but of course I was hoping you DID in fact know about it, but didn't have a way to contact you to be sure - especially as the status page was telling me it WAS working - which is probably unusual in itself

"Privacy respecting ads"

｢ Shortly after, balenaEtcher started displaying ads. Although we didn't like that, we initially didn't view it as a significant privacy risk and had no better alternative at the time.

However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties ｣

Hopefully the government keeps collecting these statistics. Here is a good summary of the 2024 state of employment in the U.S. for people with disabilities. The unemployment rate is just one number that needs to improve. Labor force participation also needs sizable improvement. bls.gov/news.release/disabl.nr…

For those who may or may not know, I have my music up on tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com…. This month happens to be my birthmonth, and it would mean a lot to me if folx picked up some of my music. And if you like the song but wish it were in a different key, or faster, or had different instrumentation, all purchases of my music come with customization rights, and you can contact me here or via bandcamp if you want a modified version.

Dear conference organisers,

Please stop hosting your events in Texas (yes, even Austin).

It's become far too dangerous for a lot of people to attend the event, and many of the rest of us will avoid it to support our besieged LGBTQA+ colleagues.

I thought that my browser extensions were protecting me from most ad-related delays but I just tried nextdns.io on my phone and everything is noticably faster.
I don't know whether it'll eventually cause problems but so far I haven't noticed any new bugs on my usual news sites.
I think it's like PiHole as a service.

Nutzt ihr Antivirus-Apps auf eurem Android? Spart euch den unnötigen Ballast – sie bieten nur trügerische Sicherheit und sind oft voller Tracker. 👇

Trügerische Sicherheit: Virenscanner-Apps sind schlichtweg überflüssig

Die Sicherheitsarchitektur von Android/iOS schränkt die Funktionsweise von Virenscanner-Apps stark ein und macht sie im Grunde nutzlos. Schlimmer: Die vermeintlichen Sicherheits-Apps sind Datenschleudern.

I know this is just the normal #Trump garbage, but it’s important to remember the ramifications. If he says something like people at #DOE didn’t show up for work, ridiculous as that assertion is on its face, many people will accept it as gospel fact. As a result, the pernicious myth that federal employees are all lazy louts who don’t deserve their paychecks and are hardly working as opposed to working hard stays ingrained in the psyche of society. threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/…

REPORTER: What responsibility do you feel to the civil servants who have now lost their jobs? Many of them worked at the Dept of Education during your first term. TRUMP: Many of them don't work at all. Many of them never showed up to work.

Great video! I just feel the whole thing has been very poorly communicated. What @ryanleesipes is doing here Mozilla should have been doing from the very beginning. We're a fairly big Firefox redistributor and there has been no communication towards us. And it does make people nervous here.

BTW is there any particular reason why the video is only 720p on PeerTube and 1080p on YouTube?
