This quote from #Meta is bonkers:
Meta noted that it "does not profit by showing more ads to users who do not click on them," so it only shows more ads to users who click ads.
Thatβs like saying baseball players only score points for the balls that they hit. I mean, itβs true, but makes an irrelevant point. If a baseball player could have 4 strikes or 7 strikes or 10 strikes before being out, would they hit more balls and score more points? Duh.
Acting like the number of ads shown has nothing to do with click rate or revenue is absurd. If it has nothing to do with it, why does ad load correlate so closely with revenue? Is just a mysterious coincidence?

So after years of tweaking workflows and apps, adjusting my idea of how apps should be installed and maintained and working out a few remaining kinks I'm happy to announce that as of yesterday evening, I have switched from Fedora Workstation 42 to Bluefin on my personal laptop.
I won't claim to not have overlayed any packages using rpm-ostree but I only added six and they were all from the core Fedora repos.
So far so good!

Trump is Promoting Satanic Ideas to Displace Our People in Gaza⦠Our People Will Remain in Their Homeland and Will Not Leave: PFLP
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly condemns the racist and dangerous statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he called for the displacement of Gazaβs residents to another Middle Eastern country, and proposed turning Gaza into a βfree zoneβ managed according to his administrationβs visionβdevoid of any Palestinian national representation.
These statements, which align with reports from NBC News revealing that Trumpβs administration has a plan to relocate nearly one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, reflect a sick colonial mentality. It evokes the memory of past displacement, Nakba, and uprooting projects that our people have suffered since 1948. It is the same mindset historically practiced by the United States through policies of extermination and expulsion targeting the Indigenous peoples of North Americaβwithin a settler-colonial project rooted in erasing native populations and seizing land by force.
We affirm to President Trumpβand to all near and farβthat our people have no homeland but Palestine, no future outside it, and Gaza will never be a station for exile or liquidation.
All displacement schemes are doomed to catastrophic failure. Our peopleβwho have sacrificed thousands of martyrs and have demonstrated steadfastness against the most brutal colonial machineryβwill go nowhere but to their occupied towns and villages in historic Palestine after liberation and the expulsion of the occupation.
The call to administer Gaza outside Palestinian sovereignty and governance is a desperate attempt to impose a liquidationist project aimed at separating the Strip from the rest of the homeland and dismantling the Palestinian cause entirely. We categorically reject this and will resist it with full force.
We call upon our people, our nation, and the free people of the world to confront these schemes by all possible means, and to reaffirm that Gaza is an inseparable part of Palestineβand no one has the right to decide its fate except its own people.
To Trump and those orbiting in his sphere, we say: The arrogant βcowboyβ mindset that views nations as mere subjects to be relocated or have their fates dictated will never succeed in subjugating or uprooting our people. This supremacist, racist mentality that treats the struggles of nations like real estate deals or business ventures has failed throughout historyβand it will fail again against the rock of Palestinian steadfastness. Our people have never bowed, and will never bow. They will remain steadfast, clinging to their right of return, liberation, and self-determinationβdespite Trump, the occupation, and their collaborators.
