if you need a quick break - or a longer one -and you can't just head outside right now, - might i suggest this:

tree.fm

it's a place where you can listen to trees / forests across the globe. Sometimes there are birds, or wind, or insects can be heard, but always trees.

I adore trees. They are soothing and reassuring. They help me slow down. Maybe they can do the same for you?

tree.fm – Tune Into Forests From Around The World 🌳🔈

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.

I want everyone to know that I do not support plans to protest at 11 a.m. Saturday in front of Tesla dealerships, and that especially includes the Tesla dealership at 14010 Perry Hwy (Route 19), Wexford, PA 15090, and certainly not 1400 Brockwell St., Bridgeville, PA 15017.

Please do NOT share this message or the hashtag, #TeslaTakeover

Hi everyone!

We've just pushed a very important security bugfix release for #GoToSocial v0.17.3 and below:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

If you are running on GoToSocial v0.17.3 or below, you should update to v0.17.4 as soon as possible. It's a very small update from v0.17.3 -> v0.17.4 as it contains only some code logic changes, and no database migrations.

In short, when a dereferencing bug is triggered under a specific set of circumstances it can cause loss of account data on affected instances. It's a rare thing to be triggered, but when it does happen it really, really stinks, and necessitates restoring from backup or manually editing the database to get things working again. (It's not possible to access or tamper with data by triggering the bug, only destroy it.)

We'll release a proper CVE for this in a couple of days when admins and packagers have had a chance to update.

Please note that folks who are already on v0.18.0-rc1 or latest snapshots are unaffected and do not need to do anything, as the bug occurs specifically in v0.17.3 and below. This means if you prefer to update straight from v0.17.3 to v0.18.0-rc1 then that's also an option; you can follow the release notes for v0.18.0-rc1 in this case.

So! If you know folks on GtS v0.17.3 or below, please let them know that they should take action! Link them to this post if you want! And please boost for visibility :)

Thank you everyone! ❤ Computers!

Since Deutsche Telekom (t-online.de) discontinued their own Sync app for Android they are now recommending DAVx5, which is very cool :)

Ever since we introduced Beau to the cat-related YouTube channels on the smart TV, he regularly jumps up in my lap when I'm on the computer, peers intently at the screen for a few seconds, then hops away, to make sure I'm not secretly watching birds without him.

I feel like there's a trust issue here that we need to resolve.

We stay strong against hate and hatred, and in response to the recent abuse campaign on our platform, we have renewed our commitment to fight for a better world. We apologize to everyone who was greeted with an abusive message this morning.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website.

This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions.

I don't even know what hashtags this deserves, so it's not getting any. Boost to your friends!

Ja, daar lijkt het sterk op.

Edit:
Added hashtags in case anyone wants to find the picture in the future

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.” - George Orwell

Apple Maps now uses ‘Gulf of America’ name in US, will roll out globally soon - 9to5Mac

Apple Maps now uses the ‘Gulf of America’ name instead of ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ with the US getting the change first before a global rollout.

^{Ryan Christoffel (9to5Mac)}

Google have apparently automated getting rid of negative reviews resulting from their decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The only sensible thing to do is to try to stop using the products of billionaire owned American companies, who are *all* demonstrating that they were willing to at the very least bend for fascists, if not actively support fascism.

This came up as part of my continuing process of removing everything which benefits American billionaires from my phone.

I'm now using #organicMaps instead on my phone. It's about 1000 times faster because it doesn't waste time in continuously trying to show you ads.

6 books this week, although one was a very short fanfiction prequel and its successor, called Rise of the Wizards was rather venal.

Outstanding read this week has to go to Dan Frey's Dreambound, which I've already mentioned.
I also reread the Heinlein classic Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, and an interesting twist on the murder mystery front with Memory Blank by John Stith.
