"On behalf of the WordPress security team, ..." and then many mentions of "fixing a security issue" without specifying what it is. (The patch is, presumably, public since the plugin is OSS and PHP?)

I don't have an opinion on the broader Wordpress situation, but seeing a security exception used to wield power in a broader controversy is extremely worrying.
Open source communities trust security teams with exceptional powers, and weakening that trust damages everyone.
Finding fulfillment and satisfaction in life is a very difficult task.
Ableism and individualism make it far, far more difficult than it should be, by leading us into a false understanding of how life even works.
But there is a way out.
Come spend a little time with me and explore the Priceless Gift of Weakness:
Nos están preparando para cuando sean automóviles con conducción autonoma 🤖, para los cuales ¡ya no necesitarás ventanas en absoluto!
Ya en serio, estoy de acuerdo con que hay una aparente tendencia a reducir la visibilidad desde dentro de los autos. Es horrible.
When I realised that I'm running out of room on my bookshelves a few weeks ago I told myself I should really be more conservative about getting new books, so I don't fill it entirely too soon.
Anyway I impulse bought Tom Scott's new book today.
“The driver reported me as having a pet and said he had the right to deny pets. I explained numerous times it was a service animal and he was breaking the law. He asked me to close his door and drove off.” – Guide Dog User from Colorado, October 2024
This is one of many rideshare denials. End the discrimination. Respect our guide dogs and white canes. It’s our #RightToRide.
@Michael Vogel @Friendica Support Absprachegemäß mit Michael auf XMPP habe ich das Native Teilen (das seit einigen Wochen nicht mehr funktioniert) auf Spiegeln als meine eigenen Beiträge umgestellt. Der aktuelle Blogeintrag mit dieser Einstellung wurde in den letzten 30 Minuten nicht mit meiner oldie-Instanz föderiert.
Wo ist er geblieben?

Der Windows 10 Support nähert sich dem Ende. Zeit für den Umstieg auf Windows 11 oder doch der perfekte Moment, um der Abhängigkeit von Microsoft zu entkommen? Es gibt viele Alternativen – Linux, Open-Source-Tools, Datenschutz und Freiheit warten. Was denkst du: Upgrade oder Ausstieg?
A very long shot once again on the #Fediverse and #Mastodon but I keep trying because I desperately wish that one day it'll give me better answers to niche questions than Tiktok and Google.
Calling all #Sudanese. What's your recipe for fit-fit? I received a container of it, made by a bunch of dudes from #Sudan (They know my cousin, I swear they're not just randos), and I refuse to believe that they have the best recipe. Google gives me Ethiopian recipes, which are vastly different from what I had tonight. I found one recipe that I don't really trust.
So, do you eat it raw?
Do you include lungs and livers? What about kidneys?
How much peanut butter do you add?
There's an underwhelming number of sources for sudanese recipes online, I guess for very understandable reasons, but dang, I have a feeling those guys can't really cook and I must know how their elders made it.
Something I've learned from this impressively international conference:
1. It's hard to explain to people from Europe how sparsely populated Saskatchewan is (yes the space debris fell ~50km from my house, but the number of houses I pass on the way is equivalent to a few city blocks)
2. It's hard to explain to people from Africa how cold Saskatchewan is (yes, our first frost was Sept 9, and our last frost was June 25ish, yes you really can still grow food there, yes it kind of sucks sometimes.)
Even though I know #HTML inside out and use it virtually every day, I'm still reading #HTMLForPeople by @bw because it's a prime example of how a good guide should be written.
1. The book is simple and easy to follow, with relevant points explained well enough even for non-coders to understand.
2. Images are clearly described for #blind readers through the use of #AltText.
3. The website is easy to navigate with a #ScreenReader.
4. There are no annoying pop-ups or ads on the website.
5. The book is entirely free of charge.

Apple macOS 15 Sequoia is officially UNIX. If anyone cares...
But what does that mean?Liam Proven (The Register)
Výpusť bazénu. Trubka velikosti 50. Se zakončením šroubovice 1" na hadici. Ať se může bazén vypustit po celé zahradě, né jen na jedno místo.
Jenže závity zrezlé. Dolů to nejde. A celá koncovka na trubku v místním dealerství není. Mají max. velikost 40.
A i kdyby, stejně nemají kombinaci závitů, abych se dostal na požadovaný rozměr na konci.
To bude ještě sranda, abych nemusel používat ponorné čerpadlo na vypuštění 😁

"A decade ago, Germany’s renewable energy transition was seen as a model for the rest of the world. Today much of the working class has turned against all things green. What happened?"
Excellent piece by Sean Sweeney in Jacobin
Just a thought: abundant cheap and clean energy is necessary. "Public ownership" in itself won't solve that basic physical reality. As long as Germany doesn't build plenty of new nuclear power plants, it will remain to deindustrialise for the same reasons the article already explains very well.

Another one of those "I didn't leave the left, the left left me" screeds by the deposed minister who I used to work for😐 so much for self reflection and "sensitivity training" with interfaith groups she promised.

A question for selfhosters: What do you consider the best option for a self hosted cloud drive?
I've deployed owncloud some time ago. But I don't know whether it is currently the best choice or not. Nextcloud? Any other?
I don't know what's more astonishing: the new typesetting language José Reyes explains here, or the depth and quality of the explanation.

“I did not communicate with the driver prior to his arrival. Once he arrived...He said, 'Is that a dog?' I said, 'Yes, he is a service dog.' He said, 'Sorry, no.' I said, 'It is a task-trained service dog accompanying me for a disability. You actually cannot legally refuse to offer service based on my dog - it is against the law.' He said, 'I don't care.' I said, 'You don't care about breaking the law?' He drove off." – Guide Dog User from California, March 2024
