BBC reporting: “Reddit added to #Australia's social media ban on under-16s”

‘Delaying children's access to social media accounts gives them valuable time to learn and grow, free of the powerful, unseen forces of harmful and deceptive design features such as opaque algorithms and endless scroll," said Australia's #eSafety #Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.’

‘It is unclear how #companies will implement the ban - which is being closely watched by global leaders - but some of the potential methods include using official #IDdocuments, parental approval and #FacialRecognition technology. Critics have raised concerns over #DataPrivacy and the accuracy of #AgeVerification software, with a recent report showing the proposed methods all have risks or shortcomings’

Head's up Santa Barbara, Ventura County - ICBM launch sometime tonight out of Vandenberg. (not loaded with a nuke... hopefully).

Sometime between 11pm and 5am. I won't be awake. Take pictures/video!

Wonder if this will be more visible from Arizona than the fog of SoCal. 🤔

Shopping for a dashcam for my motorcycle, and its like... everyone only talks about shit like 360 degree image quality and app/editing features, when what I care about is whether I can just leave it on my bike and have it loop record reliably for years whenever I ride without needing to task my ADHD brain with shit like remembering to charge it or turn it on.

Action cams are great, but only if they're running when the unexpected happens.

in reply to Earthshine

I put miles on my bikes... I commute on them, and I travel on them. It's not practical for me to prep an action cam before every trip, much less to stop every 40 minutes to swap out a battery or SD card on a 5-6 hour long day of riding. When something happens, I want it recorded, but it's infeasible to keep hours and hours of 8k video and dig through it later. The features I care about are the ones that address these problems like loop recording with post-capture selective retention.

Well, no mystery who to thank for it.

Zohran Mamdani is the new Mayor of New York City!

The people chose change.

More importantly, they told the billionaire class they’re done being bullied.

They voted in record numbers and proved that all the money in the world isn’t a substitute for class.

They want progressive policies that benefit everyone.

They want affordability.

They want a compassionate leader.

Going through old type mailers, I came across this. Way, way back, there was this online project to collaboratively create a font from a set of modular shapes. IIRC, you designed a character based on the previous character that was designed by someone else and so on. At the end, they published four fonts and sent out this printed piece. God, I miss the old web. cc @splorp

🌿 Finger weg vom Laubbläser! 🍂
Wir wissen, es juckt in den Fingern – alles schön ordentlich machen, Beete blank fegen, Rasenkanten schneiden… ABER: Der Garten ruft gerade laut und deutlich: „Lass mich doch einfach mal in Ruhe!“ 😴

Jetzt ist nämlich Wellnesszeit für die Natur:
🍁 Das Laub ist die Kuscheldecke für Igel & Insekten.
🌾 Vertrocknete Stauden sind das 5-Sterne-Hotel für Wildbienen.
🪵 Alte Äste? Perfektes Winterquartier für viele kleine Krabbler.

💉 Freunde, Nachbarn, Arbeitskolleginnen - ich weiß nicht, ob es sich verallgemeinern lässt, aber in meinem Umfeld in #Kiel gibt's gerade ungewöhnlich viele #Corona-Infektionen.
Ich hab da wenig Lust drauf und hab heute spontan aufm Weg zur Arbeit kurz beim Hausarzt angehalten und mir eine Auffrischungsimpfung abgeholt. Hat nur ca. 5 Minuten gedauert, obwohl die Praxis recht voll war. #Impfung #COVID19

#Catima 2.39.2 is out!

Sorry end-users, this is a very boring release for you, not a single new feature or visible change.

However, it does modernize the codebase a bit: a lot of Java code was rewritten to Kotlin to more closely follow modern Android guidelines. Catima is now almost 20% Kotlin :)

github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Coming soon to an app store near you!

#IzzyOnDroid #GitHub #FDroid #GooglePlay

in reply to Sylvia

A lot of the Kotlin rewriting was done by #Hacktoberfest contributors (and some by students) and I'm very grateful for those who spent their time trying to make Catima better.

I'm still undecided if Catima will join Hacktoberfest next year. Hacktoberfest was extra stressful this year, especially due to LLM contributions ("AI slop"), which cost me a lot of time to try to review only to lead nowhere. However, these Kotlin rewrites were definitely long overdue and useful.

Das #MoMa erzählt gerade jede halbe Stunde über ene feelgood Doku, die sie gemacht haben. Über ein Rentnerpaar, das, um Geld zu sparen, in ein #Mobilheim auf einem ehemaligen #Campingplatz gezogen ist.
Die Doku nennt es ein #Eigenheim.

Diese Umstände sind exakt, was in den USA gerade jede Menge Leute obdachlos macht.
Wenn ihnen das Haus gehört, aber nicht das Land, auf dem es steht, kann der Pachtgeber die Pacht jederzeit und soviel er will erhöhen. Und kann sich drauf verlassen, dass die Pächter bleiben, denn Mobilheime sind nicht wirklich mobil.
#Pacht unterliegt nicht den gleichen Gesetzen wie #Miete.

In 2-3 Jahren taucht das Paar dann in einem der Aufreger-Formate auf, weil eine Heuschrecke den Platz gekauft hat und sie sich die Pacht nicht mehr leisten können.

Like I needed more reasons to dislike Drake

「 Streaming royalties are paid out through a “streamshare” model, where subscription and ad dollars are put into a giant pool, with the money divvied up based on each artist’s share of the total streams. Most of that money already flows upstream to the most successful artists and biggest rights holders. In this type of shared-pool model, fake streams hurt other artists whose shares aren’t inflated 」

“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.

Here we believe in standing up for those we love.

Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall.

Your struggle is ours too.”

Zohran Mamdani in his NYC Mayor victory speech

#uspol #nyc #mamdani #newyork #ZohranMamdani

I think we've spent so many years shouting about how #different and #unique and #special we are as individuals, that we've forgotten the beautiful things that make us the same, the things that connect us and make us a #community. It's time to stop staring at ourselves, and start seeing each other.

Since i got my new phone, and didnt transfer all my apps. I noticed that i got more free time, in which i dont need a screen.

All the distracting apps (instagram, tiktok, etc.) are gone.
The only social apps on this phone are Mastodon, Bluesky and Wafrn.
Apart from barq, nothing else.

For youtube i have grayjay, and even with that i dont get distracted anymore.

This is such a nice thing, and that all without a flip phone.

The Airbus pilot responds "Very impressive. Now watch this!"

The jet pilot watches, but nothing happens. The Airbus flies straight without any altitude changes. After 5 minutes of this, the Airbus pilot radioed "Who's the fancy one now?"

The jet pilot is confused. "What did you do?"

The Airbus pilot laughs and says "I got up, did some stretches, went to the bathroom, then grabbed a fresh cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake."
