The image shows a dog lying on its back on a dirt surface. The dog has a black and brown coat, with its legs stretched out and its head turned to the side. The ground is a mix of light brown dirt and grayish areas, with some small rocks and twigs scattered around. The dog appears to be relaxed, with its belly exposed and paws in the air. The lighting suggests it is daytime, with shadows indicating the presence of a nearby structure or object casting a shadow on the ground.

The image shows a computer screen with a dark theme. In the center, there is a pop-up window with a gray background and white text. The pop-up reads "TURN GORDON FREEMAN INTO GEMS?" with a subtitle stating "Gordon Freeman is worth 10 Gems. Did you want to convert this item into Gems? It cannot be undone." Below the text, there are two buttons: "OK" and "Cancel." The background of the pop-up window shows a blurred image of a game interface with various icons and a character resembling Gordon Freeman.

🧸 Cyberattack deals blow to Russian firmware used to repurpose civilian drones for Ukraine war
「 The developers claim around 200,000 drones had been updated with the 1001 firmware as of March. While not widely known, the software removes manufacturer-imposed flight limits, improves resistance to GPS spoofing, and enables the use of high-capacity batteries, all of which makes them more suitable for military missions 」

The image features two characters standing against a blue sky background, surrounded by red, flowing fabric. The character on the left is a woman with long, flowing brown hair tied back, wearing a black robe with intricate patterns and a necklace with a star pendant. She has a confident expression and is holding the hand of a smaller character beside her. The smaller character, a young boy with short brown hair, is dressed in a white and black outfit with fringe details and a crescent moon symbol on his chest. He has a serious expression and is holding a curved blade. The red fabric around them appears to be in motion, adding a dynamic element to the scene. The overall color palette includes deep blacks, rich reds, and vibrant blues, creating a striking visual contrast.

we need it directly funded by the people, absolutely.
but their system relies on driving attention. whether that's the big outlets, TV, radio, cable or big tech social media algos. wealthy owners and advertisers decide what gets pushed.
it doesn't have to be this way anymore.
getting everybody on decentralized social media without ads or algos where the public actually decides what info, ideas and art goes viral is now possible.

"Using the app as a launcher"
I'll admit, the idea of using @homeassistant as a "Launcher" caught me off guard for a second. My pseudo-decaffeinated brain was trying to work out how I'd use the #HomeAssistant app as a launcher replacement on my phone. It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out this will replace some 3rd party apps to use phones/tablets as Home Assistant screens. Now that I've figured out what they're talking about, great idea! Love it!

I see Norman Tebbit has got on his bike (finally) to the great beyond.... a Thatcherite & early Euro-scpetic, I hold him responsible (in part) for much that has gone wrong in the last fifty years... While he showed great compassion for his wife (paralysed in the Brighton bombing) sadly that compassion was not extended to society more generally.
While influential, it was a thoroughly malign influence ... whatever the right wing press undoubtedly will say tomorrow morning!
no conflict of interest to see here.... just pass on to the glowing Daily Mail obituary please....
8 July 1919 | A Pole, Władysław Cieślikowski, was born in Skopanie.
He was deported to #Auschwitz on 14 June 1940 from Tarnów in the first transport of Poles to the camp.
No. 683
He perished on 3 May 1945 in the Lubeck Bay tragedy.

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:
If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.
They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!
I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪
Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

Two tools are needed: (a) inheritance tax (which worked well in the UK circa 1940-1980) and (b) wealth tax (over a threshold excluding a first home and a regular person's pension).
What we've got now: the bottom 50% bear 90% of the tax burden.
