“New Zealand’s Long-term Insights Briefings may not make the headlines, but they should. They’re a little unusual, internationally. Every three years, public service departments are mandated to think long-term—about the trends, risks, and opportunities that could shape our lives over the next 10, 20, even 50 years.”
— Victoria Mulligan

Today, President von der Leyen is in 🇵🇱 Wrocław to visit the areas recently affected by heavy floods and rains in Central Europe.
She also discussed the response with the leaders of Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Austria.
Through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, the EU is working to provide emergency equipment.

Hello everyone @Friendica Support !
I filed this issue on github and it has been pretty ignored. Of course I don't expect it to be taken into consideration, but I would like to know if I'm the only one who perceives this feature as a problem. I would also be curious to know if in your opinion the issue is easily solvable, or if it requires an unjustifiable effort?
For those who do not have a GitHub account, I report the text of the Issue here:
Good evening everyone.Introduction
Like most software in the Fediverse, Friendica accounts can also be "followed" through their RSS feed.
In this way, it is possible to use the string https://INSTANCENAME/feed/USERNAME/
For example, the account of the Friendica group "School" is
poliverso.org/feed/scuola/Is the feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Unfortunately, however, the feed of the Fediverse accounts publishes only the contents of that account and not, for example, those reshared.
This choice, although understandable for normal accounts, is much less understandable for Groups (the former Forums), since these groups do not publish (if not rarely) their own contents.
Describe the feature you'd like
The developers Lemmy have brilliantly solved the problem with their "Communities" (the Lemmy version of Activitypub groups) and today it is possible to follow the feed of the Lemmy communities through the string
https://ISTANZA/feeds/c/NOMEUTENTE.xml?sort=NewAnd in fact the feed of the "Fediverso" community is perfectly queryable by a feed reader
feddit.it/feeds/c/fediverso.xm…Even Lemmy displays a feed that presents all the posts published in the local communities (https://ISTANZA/feeds/local.xml?sort=New) and even all those of the federated "timeline" (ISTANZA/feeds/all.xml?sort=New).
I therefore wonder if it is not possible to make it so that at least the "Group" type accounts can display a feed that also includes shared content.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I can't think of any valid alternatives.
I tried in vain to follow a Friendica Group with a Lemmy account (basically I signed up to the "group" which obviously in Lemmy is seen as a "Community"): basically I wanted to use Lemmy to make him export the RSS feed...
Unfortunately, however, there are still problems that do not allow the contents of Friendica to be correctly synchronized in the community view of Lemmy.

Tor insists its #network is safe after German cops convict CSAM dark-web admin
Kind of boils down to opsec fail here. Using outdated software, which in this case didn’t properly secure Tor connections.
Timing attacks are still viable (especially with hostile nodes), but this reads as an #opsec fail to me.
Remember: a major part of anonymity is maintaining great opsec.
Obligatory: Tor is not “just for criminals,” despite one getting caught in this case (glad he did tbh). Regular people use Tor everyday.

Outdated software blamed for cracks in the armorIain Thomson (The Register)
“It was May 8th 2020 for the third time, and Ryan had already caused two traffic accidents.”
Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, superpowered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.
Ryan only sees different routes; and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending... no matter how many loops it takes.

Is your company using a quantum-safe email provider in 2024?
Not yet? Upgrade now! 🔐
Here’s how Tuta Mail can help your business 👉 tuta.com/blog/how-companies-be…
As a reminder, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted e-mails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipient's public key. This issue has been brought up to the Tuta team 6 years ago...

So, maybe less "we're the most secure e-mail provider in the world" and more concrete security 🙃

“The Vance campaign provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report to prove their claims about cat-eating Haitians in Springfield. The WSJ spoke to the woman who filed it, who said she later found her cat alive and well in her basement. She also apologized to her Haitian neighbors.”
Truly incredible.

in reply to Eleanor Saitta • • •recent discussion about some older C libraries has me realizing that some of those are going to be Roman road-style infrastructure, probably used for literal centuries and setting design choices that may well be used for millennia if our civilization lasts that long.
This is of course horrifying.
