romanaggio caotico per un sabato sabotaggio


Mamma mia regà… oggi so ‘nnata a #Roma centro coi miei, ma voi non c’avete n’idea del pandemonio che è successo, in queste relativamente poche ore. Ovviamente, aggiungerei, perché quando in famiglia si fanno piani per uscite di qualsiasi tipo pare sempre che i potery forty siano sempre due passi avanti a noi per sabotarci e, tuttavia puntualmente fallendo nel farci desistere, complicarci non di poco la vita. 🙏

  • Prima batosta è stata la sveglia presto di sabato, e io piango… ma quello era previsto, e quindi qui i famigerati poteri non centrano, ma è giusto dire tutti i dettagli. 💤
  • Il primo intoppo vero lo abbiamo avuto in stazione alla partenza allora, perché il cazzo di #Italo treno era guasto o chissà che altro problema aveva, quindi hanno dovuto sostituirlo o qualcosa del genere: 3 quarti d’ora di ritardo! 💖
  • Già ciò è stato abbastanza per mandare dunque a quel paese la tabella di marcia… si voleva fare non si sa cosa ad aver avuto tempo, ma data l’ora di arrivo si è avuto modo solo di fare un giro scrauso e poi andare a pranzare. 👅
  • Il pomeriggio abbiamo allora fatto il poco che era in realtà programmato per la mattina, e i guai parevano finiti… fino a quando non abbiamo saputo che l’Italo di ritorno avrebbe fatto 2 ore di ritardo (stavolta per guasti sulla linea!), e quindi anziché rimanere ancora abbiamo addirittura anticipato la partenza cambiando biglietti. (Salvini è così tanto uno spreco di ossigeno che è irreale, tra le sue responsabilità in qualità di ministro dei trasporti ci sarebbe quella di assicurarsi che i #treni non vadano a ramengo, e invece è fottutamente clueless… dove cazzo sta Mangione???) ❤️‍🔥
  • Allora facciamo per tornare più o meno verso Termini, passando per Via dei Fori Imperiali per qualche motivo, ma la strada era bloccata dalle guardie perché, in qualche modo, i pentastellati con la loro manifestazione contro il riarmo sono arrivati fino a lì, anche se a quanto sapevamo sarebbero dovuti stare in tutt’altra parte della città. (Quindi, per colpa di Peppino, abbiamo dovuto fare un giro a lunghissimo, per una via tortuosa di cui non ricordo il nome…) 💣
  • In tutto questo poi, bestemmie bonus, a profusione, perché oggi la mia allergia è esplosa completamente… Ho pagato il classico prezzo in sonnolenza dell’anti-bomba preso ieri sera, ma per tutta la mattina non facevo altro che starnutire e secernere liquidi che vagamente ricordano muco, persino in treno, quindi malissimo; solo nel pomeriggio la cosa si è un minimo calmata (un minimo eh, sto comunque peggio di ieri). 🤢

L’unica magra consolazione in questo inferno sono le risate amarissime che sono uscite fuori dalla necessità di odiare contemporaneamente sia Salvini che Conte, per le colpe sopra elencate… E forse ci sarebbe da dire che non è poi tanto assurdo, visto che i due alla fine tanto diversi non sono — voglio dire, il primo è amico stretto di Putin, e il secondo crede stupidamente che in Europa si possa mantenere l’amicizia con Putin senza sacrificare la democrazia — ma questo #sabato è già abbastanza inguaiato, quindi non digresserò… 👻

Comunque boh, è da non credere quanto ogni volta Murphy abbia ragione: se le cose possono andare storte, lo faranno. E ok, l’unica cosa veramente programmata del giorno l’abbiamo comunque fatta, quindi alla fine non è andata malissimo, visto pure questo grande numero di imprevisti accumulatisi a nostro sfavore… però comunque si rosika. (Ah, ovviamente, l’idea di questa uscita, con tanto di acquisto dei biglietti del treno in sconto, c’è stata giusto qualche giorno prima che la manifestazione del Movimento 5 Stelle fosse annunciata… di tutti i giorni, guarda che “coincidenza”…) 🪱

Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 6th April 2025


Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.


(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, happy April Fool's in advance.)

Imagine what would happen if a protestor said that in a public meeting?



Used Camera Prices


Is it just me or have used camera prices gone up?

I just had a look on ebay at a camera I own and the price has doubled since I bought one used a couple of years ago and in some cases is actually more than what it was sold for when it was new in 2011...

It is my hope that a judge will deputize America as a whole to arrest Trump's officials if the Marshals refuse to do their duty. Maybe set a $100,000 bounty, dead or alive per head. Musk's can be at least $1,000,000.




'Hands Off!' protests against Trump and Musk are planned across the US (Today, NOW)


mobilize.us/handsoff/map/

Happening today.

It is time to heed the words of the man I began this whole thing with: John Lewis. I beg folks to take his example of his early days where he made himself determined to show his love for his country at a time the country didn't love him. To love this country so much, to be such a patriot that he endured beatings savagely on the Edmund Pettus bridge, at lunch counters, on Freedom Rides, he said he had to do something. He would not normalize a moment like this. He would not just go along with business as usual. He wouldn't know how to solve it but there's one thing that he would do that I hope we all can do, that I think I did a little bit of tonight. He said for us to go out and cause some good trouble. Necessary trouble to redeem the soul of our nation. I want you to redeem the dream. Let's be bold in America, not demean and degrade Americans. Not divide us against each other. […] This is a moral moment. It's not left or right, it's right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble.


Senator Cory Booker, April 1, 2025.

They aren't doing anything about it. And that's the problem.

'And even if they did, congress won't allow it.'

But it would be be better if they did. Both groups seem to be waiting for the other because they're afraid of the orange baboon.

Gen X here. When I get bored I go out to eat by myself. Without the drinking though. I’m lonely, not gonna lie.



in reply to PhilipsHurtFeelings

Well, The America dollar could crash. That would make American products very cheap to buy with other currencies and make them an economical alternative despite of tariffs.

It would really hurt the average American though. Good for business owners/exports, bad for everyone else.





Storföretagens entré


Storföretagens entré. Det första kommersiella storföretag som intresserade sig för Fediversum var Facebooks ägare Meta. De lanserade ett alternativ till X (Twitter) under 2023 som de kallar Threads. Vid starten deklarerade de också att de skulle utvecklas

Storföretagens entré. Det första kommersiella storföretag som intresserade sig för Fediversum var Facebooks ägare Meta. De lanserade ett alternativ till X (Twitter) under 2023 som de kallar Threads. Vid starten deklarerade de också att de skulle utvecklas stöd för ActivityPub i programvaran. Detta besked har vållat en massa diskussion i Fediversum och ett initiativ togs för att blockera Threads redan innan det implementerat ActivityPub.

Initiativet som kallas Fedipact lanserades av en instans som drivs av LGBTQ+-aktivister har fått stöd av en mängd instanser för olika minoriteter. Ännu fler, speciellt instanser med vänsterprägel och minoritetsdrivna instanser, har blockerat Threads.

Detta för att de motsätter sig att storföretag ska få inflytande i Fediversum och för att det är rädda för att Meta och Threads ska förstöra och ödelägga Fediversum. Bara antalet användare på Threads, över 200 miljoner, gör att alla andra instanser och programvaror riskerar att dränkas.

Motståndet tycks också domineras av gamla användare av Fediversum medan nyare användare tycks mer positiva till Threads då de saknar många vänner, följare och såna de kan följa från de gamla sociala medier de lämnat. De saknar också en del av farten och dynamiken på de större sociala medierna.

Threads har delvis anpassats till Fediversum såtillvida att konton på Threads går att följa i Fediversum förutom konton som innehas av personer i EU-området. Konton på andra instanser i Fediversum går delvis att följa i Threads.

Andra kommersiella företag


Andra kommersiella företag som Flipboard Inc, A Medium Corp, Automattic Inc, Ghost Inc och NodeBB Inc har inte mötts med samma avoghet men de är inte heller i närheten av att vara lika stora som Meta. Och de har inte heller samma historia och dåliga rykte som Meta: inte heller har de lika många användare.

I fallet med NodeBB Inc handlar det om en forumprogramvara som idag är anpassad till Fediversum. Ghost Inc är ett företag som tillhandahåller en tjänst som tillhandahåller funktioner för bloggande och nyhetsbrev. Även de har lanserat sina funktioner för Fediversum.

Både programvaran för Ghost och programvaran för NodeBB är fri och öppen. Den kan installeras på en egen server för de som så önskar.

WordPress


Automattic är ett företag som i huvudsak utvecklar för den fria och öppna programvaran WordPress. Det finns också många andra småföretag och enskilda personer som utveckarl tillägg för WordPress.

Själva programvaran ägs dock av stiftelse. De erbjuder en lång rad tilläggstjänster samt bloggplattformarna wordpress.com och tumblr.com. Genom att WordPress fått stöd för ActivityPub så innebär det att wordpress.com har stöd för ActivityPub. När det gäller tumblr.com så har företaget annonserat att plattformen ska få stöd för ActivityPub.

WordPress är idag den största programvaran i Fediversum när det gäller antalet instanser och med tanke på att nästan hälften av världens webbsajter använder WordPress som publiceringsverktyg är potentialen för en tillväxt av antalet sajter med ActivityPub enorm.

Flipboard och Medium


Flipboard och Medium är mediesajter som erbjuder kurerade flöden och flöden från en mängd tidningar och publicister i framförallt USA. Medium erbjuder också bloggmöjligheter. Dessa sajter ses inte som nåt större problem.

A Medium Corporation driver också Mastodoninstansen Medium (me.dm). Endast de som betalar för deras vanliga Medium-sajt har möjlighet att ha ett konto på Mediums Mastodoninstans. Det kostar alltså pengar. Frågan är om de också kommer att anpassa sin egen programvara på medium.com till Fediversum.

Flipboard Inc driver också Mastodoninstansen flipboard.social där användare med Flipboardkonton kan ha ett konto. Men det krävs inbjudan för att kunna ha ett konto på instansen. Användare av Flipboard kan också följa använder i Fedversum och Flipboardkonton kan följas i Fediversum. Men det gäller inte alla konton. I alla fall inte genom webbgränssnittet.

Bluesky räknas inte riktigt då det programmet inte är en del av Fediversum utan snarare ett alternativ. Men idag är det ändå nåbart från Fediversum genom en brygga, BridgyFed, så att konton på Bluesky kan följas i Fediversum och konton i Fediversum kan följas från Bluesky.

Kommersiella företag i dagens Fediversum


Inte heller det faktum att flera av de större Mastodon-sajterna och Misskeysajterna drivs av kommersiella företag som dessutom i vissa fall tillåter reklam för sin finansiering har mötts av någon större kritik. Det finns även Pixelfed och PeerTubeinstanser som drivs av kommersiella företag. Företaget Misskey HQ KK driver den största Misskeyinstansen misskey.io.

Sujitech LLC/The Social Coop Ltd/Mask Network driver instanserna mastodon.cloud, mstdn,jp och pawoo.net. US-amerikanska Fediverse Communications LLC driver mstdn.party, mstdn.plus, lemmy.one och pxfld.plus.

Vivaldi


Vivaldi.social drivs av det personalägda företaget Vivaldi som gör webbläsaren Vivaldi. De erbjuder också bloggmöjligheter på sitt blogghotell som kör WordPress. En blogg hos Vivaldi kan också bli en instans i Fediversum. Vivaldis webbläsare har specialfunktioner för fediversum.

En annan kommersiell verksamhet är Loforo som erbjuder en mängd tjänster, däribland en Mastodoninstans, men även blogg-, bild- och videotjänster med mera.

Mindre företag


Även mindre företag driver Mastodon-instanser. Rottmann Ventures GmbH driver home.social, Unterhaltungsfernsehen Ehrenfeld UE GmbH driver det.social, SMEntTech driver mstdn.business och Albin Social har sajten mastodon.green. Podcast och video-bolaget Twit-TV driver twit.social. Sen finns det små företag som driver instanser med Pixelfed och Peertube. Solari inc driver exempelvis live.solari.com. Labor Union Networking Inc driver för sin del union.place. Ett företag vid namn WisTex TechSero Ltd. Co driver en Hubzillainstans som heter Neuhub.

Det kommer med stor sannolikhet att bli fler kommersiella företag som söker sig till Fediversum i takt med att ett ökat antal WordPress-sajter blir en del av Fediversum. Om och när Threads blir fullständigt federerat kommer det säkerligen också att innebära att Fediversum blir ännu mer lukrativt för kommersiella företag. Och vi kommer att se fler sajter och företag som ansluter sig eller driver egna instanser. Med stor sannolikhet kommer det att leda till utmaningar kring moderering för många instanser i Fediversum.

Fediversums historia


  1. Ett tillhåll för minoriteter och nördar
  2. Bättre förutsättningar med ActivityPub
  3. Mastodon gav möjligheter för tillväxt
  4. Gab, Truth Social, Soapbox och högerextremismen
  5. Elon Musk träder in på arenan
  6. Utvecklingen av grupper och diskussionsforum
  7. Nomadisk identitet med Hubzilla och Streams
  8. De asiatiska plattformarna och programmen
  9. In kommer EU med pengar
  10. Storföretagens entré
  11. WordPress ger de stora möjligheterna

What second hand laptop to buy


I would like to buy myself a second hand and install Linux on it. I was looking into ThinkPad T14 gen1 or gen2 devices because of their maintainability and repairability. I found one where I live with a Ryzen processor but it has the wrong keyboard. How easy and expensive would it be to swap this with US English? Are there any good alternatives to the ThinkPads? I fancy the X1 but don't like the fact that I cannot change or swap anything on it. The T14 looks very bulky and unattractive but at least can have the RAM upgraded and the battery changed.

I fancy the Framework laptops, but don't want to spend so much on a laptop. Especially the latest 16 inch with Ryzen AI CPUs.

The T14 G1 is at least cheap, like 350€ with the 400 nits low power display and the battery is at 99%. I guess with tlp installed and autocpugfreq I can get 5-6 hours out of it.

in reply to filister

Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for "Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM" and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo's site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn't recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you're looking for.

in reply to filister

but it has the wrong keyboard


you can also either manually reconfigure keys or just choose your habitual keyboard layout and ignore the markings (that's what i do. How often do you look at your keyboard anyway?)



fcitx5 not working in distrobox and flatpak apps.


OK so after finally learning fcitx5, I can't even type on half my apps, which are either on distrobox or flatpak.

How can I make my fcitx5 usable on distrobox and flatpak programs?



Honda says its newest car factory in China needs 30% less staff thanks to AI & automation, and its staff of 800 can produce 5 times more cars than the global average for the automotive industry.


cross-posted from: futurology.today/post/4251786

Bringing manufacturing jobs home has been in the news lately, but it's not the 1950s or even the 1980s anymore. Today's factories need far less humans. Global car sales were 78,000,000 in 2024 and the global automotive workforce was 2,500,000. However, if the global workforce was as efficient as this Honda factory, it could build those cars with only 20% of that workforce.

If something can be done for 20% of the cost, that is probably the direction of travel. Bear in mind too, factories will get even more automated and efficient than today's 2025 Honda factory.

It's not improbable within a few years we will have 100% robot-staffed factories that need no humans at all. Who'll have the money to buy all the cars they make is another question entirely.

Details of the new Honda factory.



Anyone know how to hide this?


I don't think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I'd like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?
in reply to kemsat

I'm sorry but that's absurd.

Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I've encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.

Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.

in reply to Nuxleio

browsers are not operating systems, and anyways, I hope you are aware of the downsides of #LibreWolf (mainly no telemetry and no automatic updates → intrinsically more vulnerable)

Where to find ressource for privacy and security in IOS?


I'm discovering a new OS and I feel like I need to learn everything from scratch. I don't even know which ad block to use.

The first thing I did opening Safari was to search for Ublock Origin. But it is not available anymore since 2019 🙁

in reply to BruceLee

Good luck with privacy there. At minimum disable the AI stuff that has access to every app, and that's if you believe their toggles do anything, which Apple has been proven to not listen to them in the past

These are both decent guides:

For your ad blocking question, AdGuard is my recommendation.




Jerry Nadler on Trump’s university attacks: ‘He doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism’


Summary

Rep. Jerry Nadler accused Trump of exploiting antisemitism to justify political crackdowns on elite universities.

Nadler said Trump “doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism” and is weaponizing Jewish concerns to impose control over academia.

The administration has suspended or threatened over $10 billion in federal funding to schools like Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton.

Nadler warned that curbing campus free speech would harm Jews and condemned Trump for gutting civil rights enforcement. He also criticized universities for capitulating and urged legal resistance to what he called unconstitutional coercion.


in reply to MonkderVierte

In America the metro is seen as where there are lots of poor people and drug addicts and the rich people tend to prefer to buy fancy cars and drive them.

It’s kind of the same logic as to why america is one of the few countries where the poor people tend to live in the city center, but the rich people out in the suburbs.

Yeah European = Good is a lie.

But well, European = not financially contributing as much to Trump’s corpocratic neofacist ethnostate, so probably better if you were gonna buy the thing anyways.



Den 2 april införde Trump-regimen en rad tullar mot nästan alla andra länder. Mot allierade och fiender. Tullarna har i stort sett baserats på påhittade fakta om hur stora tullar USA måste betala. I stort sett inget är sant.

House Republican plans bill to let Congress block Trump tariffs


Summary

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.

His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.

With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.

Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.
