To save $2 million. Probably could have not felt the need to do this had the tRump “birthday parade” not been done. At least they’re keeping a couple ceremonial caisson units. Still, this is kinda sad.
“The U.S. Army's history is closely tied to its cavalry units, those soldiers who rode into battle on horseback. But the service announced Tuesday that it's moving toward a future without the ceremonial horses and will put most of them up for adoption.” - NBC News

The image features a detailed illustration of a bird perched on a branch against a solid coral pink background. The bird has a brownish upper body with a lighter, white underbelly, and its beak is pointed and slender. Its legs are thin and dark, gripping the branch firmly. The bird's tail is long and slightly curved, with a hint of yellow at the base. The branch is depicted with a rough texture, suggesting a natural setting.
To the right of the bird, there is text in a bold, black font that reads, "ease up with the horseshit, please." Below this text, in a smaller, cursive font, is the signature "Ceffinbirds." The overall composition is simple yet striking, with the bird and text being the focal points against the vibrant background.

Le associazioni LGBTQIA+ non sono le uniche ad avere trovato estremamente offensiva la dichiarazione del cancelliere tedesco Friedrich Merz, secondo cui issare la bandiera arcobaleno sopra il Reichstag in occasione del Christopher Street Day(*) farebbe del parlamento “un circo”. A offendersi, questa volta, sono stati anche i lavoratori circensi.
Il circo Charles Knie, che ha sede in Bassa Sassonia, ha reagito con una performance del funambolo David Ruiz, che ha fissato la bandiera arcobaleno in cima al tendone camminando su un filo sospeso sopra la struttura.
La bandiera rimarrà visibile almeno fino al 26 luglio, data del Christopher Street Day a Berlino.
ilmitte.com/2025/07/circo-tede…
(*) Il Christopher Street Day (CSD) è una celebrazione annuale LGBTQ+ che si tiene in varie città, equivalente al Gay Pride nei paesi di lingua tedesca. Il CSD commemora i moti di Stonewall, che ebbero luogo il 28 giugno 1969 in Christopher Street, nel quartiere Greenwich Village di New York.

Good. Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice. As I said before, don't give taxpayers' money to Microsoft. Save that money. Help support open source. Spend added savings on local community development programs. It's a win-win for both honest taxpayers and local communities. Besides that everyone knows big tech is not trustworthy especially one that steals your data for AI training or runs spyware like Recall

also bite the bullet here. Microsoft office is only a “standard” because people bought into it. Break away. Train your new staff and they will adapt.
Commit to the long-term transition plan and start teaching kids LibreOffice just like they did with Microsoft Office and in 10 years this will have been an easy correct decision.

Oscillator Negativity is a Good Thing
Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that for stable oscillation, the loop gain must be one, and the phase shift around the feedback loop must be a multiple of 360 degrees. [All Electronics Channel] provides a thorough exploration of oscillators and, specifically, negative resistance, which is punctuated by practical measurements using a VNA. Check it out in the video below.
The video does have a little math and even mentions differential equations, but don’t worry. He points out that the universe solves the equation for you.
In an LC circuit, you can consider the losses in the circuit as a resistor. That makes sense. No component is perfect. But if you could provide a negative resistance, it would cancel out the parasitic resistance. With no loss, the inductor and capacitor will go back and forth, electrically, much like a pendulum.
So, how do you get a negative resistance? You’ll need an active device. He presents some example oscillator architectures and explains how they generate negative resistances.
Crystals are a great thing to look at with a VNA. That used to be a high-dollar piece of test gear, but not anymore.

I fan tedeschi dei Massive Attack hanno ricevuto una doccia fredda. L’attesa per i concerti a Bonn e Berlino, previsti per lunedì e martedì, si è conclusa infatti con un’improvvisa cancellazione.
A Bonn l’annuncio è arrivato appena due ore prima dello show. È arrivata poi la notizia che sarebbe saltato anche il concerto di Berlino, che avrebbe dovuto tenersi presso la Zitadelle Spandau.
i Massive Attack sono noti sin dal 1999 per le loro posizioni filopalestinesi e il sostegno al movimento BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) e un giorno prima del concerto di Londra hanno accusato la banca Barclays – sponsor della location – di investire in aziende che fornirebbero armi a Israele finanziando, di conseguenza, “i crimini di guerra a Gaza e in Cisgiordania”.
Resta comunque ancora incerto se la cancellazione degli show sia stata realmente causata da pressioni politiche o da semplici problemi di salute interni alla band.

PPI at the International Labor Organization Conference
PPI´s main delegate in at the UN Office of Geneva, Carlos Polo, attended the 113th International Labour Organization Conference. The event took place in June 2-13, 2025. The ILO predates the UN, and it has a very important place in history. It was founded when World War One came to a close with the Treaty of Versailles. It became the first specialized agency of the United Nations in 1946 with a specialization in social justice. This year´s conference focused on biological hazards in the workplace, but a wide range of employment issues were discussed.
The ILO is an organization that PPI would like to be involved with more to help strive for digital freedom in the workplace. Many freelance workers and small businesses have contacted us about problems they have with antiquated copyright legislations and big corporations that tie up workers with legal malaise that prohibits them from ever gaining an advantage. Engaging with the ILO helps us advance international policies. By neglecting the rights of workers, big corporations stifle innovation and keeps small players from ever gaining a foothold in making their own technological advancements.
We share some photos of Carlos from the event. Pirate Parties International will continue to join these events and update our community about our activities at the UN. We also currently have represenatives at the World Summit on Information Society, WSIS +20. We will be updating soon with pictures from that event as well.
If you or any other Pirates you know would like to participate in ILO or other UN events, please let us know by filling out the volunteer form: lime.ppi.rocks/index.php?r=sur…
If you would like to help PPI continue to send representatives to these meetings, please consider making a small donation to our organization or becoming a member. If you would like to be involved personally in the movement, by writing about these issues or attending events, please let us know.

This is me too, although I'm starting to think imposter syndrome is making me ignore my decades of experience in various aspects of UX stuff. I probably could go pro on this, and given your extensive background going right back to Diaspora (and probably before), you certainly could.

Looks like a woman bent slightly at the waist. She's facing either 10:00 or 8:00. Her arms are up helping balance a large parcel on her head.

Das Bild zeigt eine kleine, isolierte Insel in der Mitte eines tiefblauen Meeres. Die Insel ist von steinigen Felsen umgeben, die in verschiedenen Brauntönen und mit rauen, unregelmäßigen Formen zu erkennen sind. Auf der Insel wachsen mehrere Palmen und andere tropische Pflanzen, die grüne Blätter und dichte Blätter aufweisen. Die Vegetation ist dicht und verstreut, wobei einige Bäume höher und schlanker sind als andere. Das Wasser um die Insel herum ist ruhig und glatt, mit leichten Wellen, die an den Felsen vorbeiziehen. Der Himmel ist klar und ohne Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Die Insel ist relativ klein und scheint unberührt und unzugänglich zu sein, was sie zu einem idyllischen und ruhigen Ort macht.

In 2019 Seth Meyers joked about Trump wanting a moat with alligators & snakes around his border wall.
As a joke, DefenseOne did a cost estimate.
defenseone.com/ideas/2019/10/s…
The sum total of Trump’s Snake & Alligator Border Guard comes in at a "roughly $2.5 billion in set-up costs, plus annual operating costs of $1.8 billion."
Totally doable with the new $45 billion #ICE budget for detention facilities.
The annual #AlligatorAlcatraz operating cost of $450 million a year.
