Neat! There's a Quick Share app made with Libadwaita on Flathub now, called "Packet".

This means you can now natively send and receive files with Android's "Quick Share", without installing anything on a phone. (It can also send/receive files with another Linux desktop computer using the "Packet" app on both.)

Much of the support for renationalising the railways was grounded in the hope that state ownership would reduce rail fares (which are among the highest in Europe);

however, it now seems that will be unlikely, as any extra cash saved by nationalisation will be spent on maintenance, infrastructure & increased services (which in fairness are also what the network needs).

But as fares are what voters most immediately experience, how will this play out?

Labour cannot promise cheaper rail fares under renationalisation

Hallo @Friendica Support, ich glaube, wir haben bei der aktuellen DEV-Version ein Problem bei der Option "Entkoppelter Empfänger":

Habe diese Option heute mal testweise aktiviert. Wie zu erwarten, treten nach der Aktivierung alle "paar" Minuten Spitzen beim Worker auf. Ich habe gelernt, dass dies angeblich normal ist, wenn man diese Option aktiviert hat. Siehe Screenshot:

In diesem Screenshot sieht man auch ganz deutlich, wann diese Option aktiviert wurde.

Sobald so eine Worker-Spitze auftritt, lädt die Oberfläche deutlich langsamer. Aber auch das Abschicken von Beiträgen oder Kommentaren sowie "Liken" in der Oberfläche dauert ewig.

Dabei ist die Auslastung des Systems alles andere als hoch. Siehe Screenshot:

Was mir auffällt, dass immer zu der gleichen Zeit wenn so eine Spitze auftritt, folgende Exception beim Worker im Logfile auftaucht:

2025-05-26T07:15:51Z worker [ERROR]: Uncaught exception in worker method execution {"class":"TypeError","message":"Friendica\\Util\\HTTPSignature::isValidContentType(): Argument #2 ($url) must be of type string, null given, called in /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php on line 2068","code":0,"file":"/var/www/html/src/Util/HTTPSignature.php:509","trace":"#0 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(2068): Friendica\\Util\\HTTPSignature::isValidContentType()\n#1 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(1896): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::getObjectDataFromActivity()\n#2 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(1475): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::processObject()\n#3 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(424): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::fetchObject()\n#4 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(680): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::prepareObjectData()\n#5 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Processor.php(1788): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::processActivity()\n#6 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Processor.php(1689): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Processor::processActivity()\n#7 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Receiver.php(830): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Processor::fetchMissingActivity()\n#8 /var/www/html/src/Protocol/ActivityPub/Queue.php(235): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Receiver::routeActivities()\n#9 /var/www/html/src/Worker/ProcessQueue.php(25): Friendica\\Protocol\\ActivityPub\\Queue::process()\n#10 [internal function]: Friendica\\Worker\\ProcessQueue::execute()\n#11 /var/www/html/src/Core/Worker.php(570): call_user_func_array()\n#12 /var/www/html/src/Core/Worker.php(378): Friendica\\Core\\Worker::execFunction()\n#13 /var/www/html/src/Core/Worker.php(112): Friendica\\Core\\Worker::execute()\n#14 /var/www/html/src/Console/Worker.php(91): Friendica\\Core\\Worker::processQueue()\n#15 /var/www/html/vendor/asika/simple-console/src/Console.php(108): Friendica\\Console\\Worker->doExecute()\n#16 /var/www/html/src/Core/Console.php(171): Asika\\SimpleConsole\\Console->execute()\n#17 /var/www/html/vendor/asika/simple-console/src/Console.php(108): Friendica\\Core\\Console->doExecute()\n#18 /var/www/html/src/App.php(234): Asika\\SimpleConsole\\Console->execute()\n#19 /var/www/html/bin/console.php(22): Friendica\\App->processConsole()\n#20 {main}","previous":null,"worker_id":"9fd747b","worker_cmd":"ProcessQueue"} - {"file":"Worker.php","line":572,"function":"execFunction","request-id":"6834151fdcb0a","stack":"Worker::execFunction (378), Worker::execute (112), Worker::processQueue (91), Worker::doExecute (108), Console::execute (171), Console::doExecute (108), Console::execute (234), App::processConsole (22)","uid":"3a8c6f","process_id":511148}

Ist so eine Worker-Spitze abgebaut, verhält sich das System bzw. die Oberfläche wieder normal. Bis eben wieder die Spitze aufgebaut wird. Das ganze ist also reproduzierbar.

Fürs Erste werde ich die entkoppelten Empfänger wieder deaktivieren und hoffe, dass diese Symptome wieder verschwinden.

When I had my hysterectomy, I was told recovery would be quick because I was young, fit & otherwise healthy.

They were wrong. The surgeon made an error and despite signs of post op bleeding, discharged me & went on vacation.

When I returned to the ER, I was ignored & gaslit

They told me it was “normal” to be in more pain 8 days after surgery than on day 1 (it’s not).

They said “what do you want us to do?”

They refused to run any tests beyond basic vitals, and scolded me for wasting their time

I knew something was wrong, but I was young and hadn’t yet learned how to advocate for myself.

The pain, swelling and bruising were getting worse with each passing day. I was dizzy, listless and had no appetite.

I slept ALL the time.

I was not getting better

I did what anyone would do, I went back to the ER. Surely this time they would take me seriously?

They didn’t. They made no attempt to hide their frustration that I had returned”. They made misogynistic comments about how “sensitive” I was & that being in pain was normal

I went home feeling completely dejected and disrespected, but also starting to gaslight myself.

Maybe it wasn’t that bad. Maybe this was normal pain. Maybe I did need to suck it up.

I tried to force myself to eat and go for light walks. I tried to play through the pain.

I was vomiting everything up and frequently collapsing from fatigue.

I could not suck this up.

My boyfriend had to carry me into the ER for a third attempt to get help

They did the exact same thing. Asked what we expected them to do. Told us the pain was normal. Refused to call a consult or run tests.

Thankfully my boyfriend believed me over them. He was certain if I went home, I wouldn’t make it through the night

He refused to let them discharge me. He told them, loudly and sternly, that he was not taking me home to die. That they needed to do their jobs.

They threatened to call security but he did not back down.

Thankfully a doctor overheard him and decided to look in and see if he could calm the situation.

When he saw me, half unconscious and white as a ghost, he immediately ordered tests. He told the triage staff not to call security and to take me into a private room

It turns out my boyfriend was right. Had I gone home that night, I wouldn’t have made it to morning.

I had a massive internal bleed and a giant infected abscess which had been growing since the surgeon sent me home.

I was rushed to another hospital for emergency surgery and given 50/50 odds of survival. I spent over a month in the hospital, developed a second hospital acquired infection, and needed 11 months to fully recover.

I survived due to luck & privilege. Had my boyfriend not believed me, I wouldn’t be here. Had he not been a white man? He likely would have been removed & I would have died

This is medical misogyny. They didn’t listen because I was a woman. They thought I was being dramatic

I tell this story because of what happened to Adriana Smith. A young black woman in Georgia who tried to get medical care for severe headaches, and was dismissed and gaslit instead.

She suffered brain death at home because no one believed her. Because of misogynoir.

To make matters worse, she’s been turned into a medical experiment because she was nine weeks pregnant and living in a state with an abortion ban. She’s on organ & tissue support being treated as a human incubator.

No care when alive & forced “care” when dead

Misogyny in medicine kills. It maims. It disables and traumatizes.

Women are frequently treated as hysterical and not given the medical care they require.

We often need a man to accompany us just to be taken seriously.

It’s not right and it needs to change

I will forever deal with medical PTSD because of what I went through, but at least I survived.

Adriana wasn’t so lucky, and no one’s survival should ever be based on luck, privilege or their ability to find a man to speak for them

I survived due to luck and privilege, Adriana didn’t.

What’s worse, due to abortion bans and dangerous forced birth policies, her body is kept alive on organ and tissue support without her family’s consent.

We must do better:

Adriana Smith, Misogyny and the Cruelty of Forced Birth

Adriana Smith couldn't access competent medical care when she needed it, and it killed her. Now the hospital is forcing 'care' on her by keeping her alive as an incubator due to Georgia's abortion ban
