Why the MBTA’s electric bus mandate is a bad idea
Massachusetts would do substantially more to reduce carbon emissions if it invested in an electric regional rail system with 15-30 minute frequencies that enabled more people to take the train rather than drive.James Aloisi (CommonWealth Beacon)

🧸 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.

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!
