@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!

Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.

Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash

Сегодня мы с вами наблюдаем рождение и становление Всероссийской политической партии «АЧТОТАКОВА?!». Это партия хоть и относительно молодая, но достаточно опасная. Когда всё закончится и начнётся что-то новое, представители этой фракции попробуют затянуть нас обратно. Их будет много, и они будут убедительны — в их программе уютные компромиссы, селективное зрение, с ними комфортно и спокойно, ведь найдётся оправдание всему, и никто ни за что не осудит.

Ну, предлагает тебе много-много денег олигарх за долю в СМИ — возьми, он же человек, по сути, приличный, да и материал разместить просит редко и по делу. Или государственный контрактик без конкурса дают — ты бери, ничего страшного. Ты же хорошо сделаешь? Хорошо! А другие бы хуже сделали в любом случае. Да и с выборами то же самое: «Чуть-чуть подрисуем тут, — скажут они, — а то победит какой-то неогиркинец или коммунист», — и укутают тебя в тёплый пледик, нальют чайку, приговаривая: «Все так делают, а что такого?»

Путинские реваншисты будут разные: одни обвешаются георгиевскими лентами и Z-атрибутикой, а другие будут как раз из этой партии «АЧТОТАКОВА?!». Но цель у них будет одна — вернуть, как было (только без войны! Вот как в 2018-м на чемпионате, помните? Или в Парке Горького в 2013-м! Да и как в 2021-м тоже сойдёт, чего уж!).

Если нам когда-то посчастливится увидеть свободную Россию, давайте никогда не забывать, какой ценой эта свобода получена. И никогда её больше не упускать, засмотревшись, пусть и на очень привлекательную сделку с совестью.

I've been loving @404mediaco lately, but this was such a good read that I just paid for a yearly subscription.

“For most people, social media gives you this sense that unless you care about everything, you care about nothing. You must try to swallow the world while it’s on fire,” said Cross. “But we didn’t evolve to be able to absorb this much info. It makes you devalue the work you can do in your community.”

Totally agree with this…can we just stop with the wall-to-wall toots about politics, ex-Twitter, etc. Let’s instead build the social web (and world) we want to live in.

“We don’t need any more irony-poisoned hot takes or cathartic, irreverent snark. We need to collectively decide what kind of world we actually do want, and what we’re willing to do to achieve it.”

Sice máme #ETCS, ale přeci se nevzdáme přivolávacích návěstí, že 😎

Když všude ukazují statistiky kolik vlaků jede pod ETCS, možná by měli také začít vést statistiku při kolika takových jízdách bylo použito override.

„Fíro, neprojel jsi návěstidlo?“ Vyšetřovatelé uzavřeli incident, který poznamenal rozjezd ETCS

Vyšetřovatelé uzavřeli sledovaný případ z loňského 20. prosince – ve stanici Uhersko na východě Čech tehdy projel nákladní vlak návěstidlo zakazující další jízdu.

Okay, for those of you who don’t know what bikeshedding is:

If you built a nuclear power plant and asked the community to give feedback, they will focus on the details of the bike shed out front because they don’t know the first thing about nuclear power, but still want to sound smart.

This is textbook bikeshedding behavior. They’re not in their positions to oversee power plants or launch rockets. They’re here to do bigot shit. That’s literally their only qualification.

DOGE Employees Ordered to Stop Using Slack While Agency Transitions to a Records System Not Subject to FOIA

Employees at Elon Musk's agency have been told "OMB is asking us to stop generating new slack messages starting now."

If you are in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

Hello EU people:

There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks. If that's interesting to you, you can sign it here:

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/…

Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but it also needs to hit a threshold in three additional countries, and those are the four closest.

Here is a post about the petition:
