This may sound naive. But why would a multi-billionaire Jeff B and others be afraid of Trump? Then, what can a single president really do to a newspaper which is considered to be a private enterprise? I mean, seriously…

It’s not what Trump could do to a news paper, it’s what Trump would do for other companies of those billion heirs. Or positions in his cabinet to those billion heirs.

I suspect it has more to do with Amazon, such as government contracts and regulations.

When 20,000 Americans Held a Pro-Nazi Rally in Madison Square Garden in 1939

Night at The Garden, a film that revisits a night in February 1939 when '20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history.

Afgekeurd! 😁 Geen #NVA in #Gent!

Cijfers, jongens, cijfers met uitkomst ipv vage woorden...
4 minuten geleden Akkoord voor coalitie met N-VA in Gent afgekeurd door Vooruit "Na een open en zeer diepgaand debat hebben we onvoldoende draagvlak gevonden bij onze leden om toe te treden tot een coalitie met N-VA. De leden spraken grote waardering uit over het sociaal en progressief ontwerp-bestuursakkoord dat de onderhandelaars konden voorleggen. Voor te veel leden bleek de samenstelling van de voorgestelde coalitie evenwel een te groot struikelblok. Nu het initiatiefrecht wordt doorgegeven, zal Vooruit zich blijven constructief opstellen", klinkt het bij de partij zondagavond.

Does anyone have a huge amount of experience in running a daily driver laptop using windows on Arm? I know that jaws has an Arm variant. Of course Mac has Arm going on like a house on fire, but does the hive mind think it’d be better for my sanity to run things like email,, web, word and other basic stuff. Heavy load things like audio production/creative stuff will happen on “mini-roarbox”

In the latest version of windos for arm 24h2 things have gotten better. At this point unless you need the aws workspaces driver for arm you should be ok. Arm isn't 100 percent ready yet, but it is getting close. I don't know if linux sub system for windows works on arm yet Last I checked it did not yet though.

I would like to see us get *well* past “accessibility is good, actually”-level talks about accessibility.

With the title of this talk, I was hoping for a case study on an open source project that put effort into having accessible tools & processes and how that made it possible for disabled devs to participate…because I think often it’s assumed that sure, disabled people can be users, but they wouldn’t be devs.

The moral meltdown at the LA Times and Washington Post is a reminder that independent journalism is needed more than ever. It's also a reminder that being an independent journalist is HARD work, with challenges the "professionals" rarely see or grasp.

I urge you to read this from Molly White (hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff), one of the best we've seen:

Please people who put on events I'm begging you, have a mailing list or a physical website where I can look up dates in advance. Just saw a post on Instagram about a craft workshop I would have liked to go to but didn't see before hand, asked the artist if she had a mailing list and was told "no but I post all my upcoming workshops on Instagram and Facebook". I don't think a lot of people realise these don't show most of your posts to your followers, and what they do show isn't chronological?

Lots of people can't use FB cos of the real name policy or it making you visible to stalkers/harassers or similar.

I have an FB but I hardly ever use it, if an event only organises via FB I won't be going. It's a social justice issue to put event info somewhere properly publicly accessible that doesn't track users.

Did Pierre Poilievre get his security clearance yet? No?

How about now? No?

Now? No?

Aaaa, pekne! Ja par poslednich tydnu zkoumam vody japonskeho metalu, tak toto je super objev. I kdyz to bude asi hluboka nora.

So if my wife ever needed a miracle now would be the time. The pain from the leukemia is growing worse and worse. And it looks like she is headed for hospice very soon. Her blood counts are not rising as quickly as everyone would’ve liked. Which is what they used to determined after each cycle if the chemo is still working or not. The chemo is keeping her alive. They call it maintenance chemo. She has acute my leukemia with a TP 53 mutation. Basically it makes the type of leukemia extremely difficult to treat and almost impossible to eradicate. A bone marrow transplant is out of the question, Since the doctors are 99% sure it would kill her. Also, her heart cannot handle more toxic forms of chemotherapy. I am asking everybody to pray for my wife. So for those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please share this. I am not a very religious person, I don’t go to church every Sunday, but I am a very spiritual person.#Health #Healing #Medicine #Prayer #Hope #God #Jesus #Christian.#Fediverse #Leukemia #Cancer

So I would like to thank everybody for their prayers during this whole ordeal. We went to see her oncologist on Monday and our fears were confirmed. The chemo has stopped working, and the cancer has multiplied. She will be signing up for hospice soon. At least she will be able to eat comfortable in her own home. Due to people having to come in and out, like nurses, etc., we have decided to rehome our Chihuahua Noah. The only silver lining to this cloud, is I will be able to visit him on a regular basis when I move back up to New Hampshire, and I will eventually be able to get him back permanently if I want Once I get my own place. I will be living with my best friend for about a year or two. I don’t know how I’m going to move on. Part of me doesn’t want to. Part of me just wants to stay in the apartment where I’m at, and live in her memory.

Don't plan too far ahead. Take one day at a time and suck the most out of each one you've got with your partner. Worry about what comes next closer to when that time comes.

I wonder, what would’ve happened if WaPo just ran the endorsement - was Bezos gonna run down to the printer and shut off the press? Turn off the web site.

I know that it’s easy to say this, but… if I was EIC or whatever, I’d have tried to run the endorsement anyway. social.coop/@chrisjrn/11338000…

Air Canada has this cool system now where there are no human employees at the check in counter at all, and instead you register your baggage with a little touch screen and place it on a conveyor belt, and then the touch screen displays an error, and there's nothing you can do because there are no fucking human employees present to deal with it

Anybody remember the Toronto free ISP that would serve up ads in exchange of the free internet? This is back in 2000-ish. Nothing like dialing up on a 56k modem, only to be slowed down by ads.

I need to write about something that’s painful to put out there for me, but I need to because I know there are other people also in my position. Also apologies for the thread. I’ve seen a huge amount of calls in the past day for people to cancel their #AmazonPrime in response to the #WaPo chickening out and not endorsing Kamala Harris. In principle, I do not disagree. At all. But for me, there’s one huge, and ultimately insurmountable, problem. #Amazon has become a necessity for me. (1/3)

Not only do I agree with you but I think this whole issue is just stupid. We live in a free society: if the owner of a newspaper doesn't want his paper to endorse a certain candidate, that's his right. Personally, I rely on news services for news and not for them to tell me who I should vote for or who they endorse. In spite of the fact that we live in a country that supposedly values freedom, you'll find yourself criticized and persecuted if you don't publicly hold to certain opinions or support certain candidates. I say to hell with all of that. Kevin, keep buying from Amazon if that's what you need to do. I know that I will.
