Just updated #Kitten¹ to include the latest version of Polka (the underlying router + middleware handler)—1.0.0-next.25—and to use @polka/send instead of my own fork since my PR that fixed custom headers in streams was merged².

You shouldn’t notice any difference. If you find any regressions, do let me know.

Servers will auto-update today and you can also manually update via `kitten update` on CLI and /💕/settings/kitten via web.

Giant phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay surprises residents of Dildo, Canada News By Stephanie Pappas  published May 2, 2023 A phallus-shaped iceberg hovered off the coast of Dildo, Newfoundland in Conception Bay before collapsing.

Turns out EU Commission doesn't want to follow all laws made by EU Parliament. Just like any other executive vs legislative two branch government.

I usually replace them all with ":separator.", with the colon at the beginning and period at the end being intentional to force a slight pause. But that's only because that's how NVDA speaks the `<hr>` element on a web page, and I'm used to it for that reason. What I'd really love is to be able to tell the speech synth to pause for N seconds instead, and/or play a small sound file. @modulux

@jcsteh @FluidEscence They also go into stereo (although with a lower sample rate I think) when you use SharePlay, since you're listening to media while on a phone call. I haven't tried that in a while and don't remember if I was on the latest pros when I did.

on #mastodon my timeline is clean I can release the publications of the lists that I want to look at the same time. on #Friendan I ordered my circles and my channels correctly. Is there a way to block or authorize a circle to display publication on the Timeline.

Looks like France dodged a bullet.

All major French outlets are showing early projections of a victory for the left-wing alliance, New Popular Front (NFP).

France's far-right National Rally (RN) has failed to win a majority in the parliamentary elections.

Voter turnout was the highest in decades at 67.1%, and official results are expected early Monday.

NFP and Macron's Ensemble alliance are expected to form a coalition govt.

Something that's very weird to me is how the media narratives around elections in many countries often emphasize victories by the right and downplay victories by the left. Like the narrative in English media leading up to this result was *all* about the surge in the right and RN's inevitability, and *not* the left coalition being built on the fly, even though— if these results bear out— the left coalition was both more significant and ultimately *more successful*.
