O tweet, escrito em português, afirma que qualquer medida de elevação de tarifas de forma unilateral será respondida à luz da Lei brasileira de Reciprocidade Econômica. Ele destaca a soberania, o respeito e a defesa intransigente dos interesses do povo brasileiro como valores que orientam a relação do Brasil com o mundo.

O tweet afirma que a informação sobre um suposto déficit comercial entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos é falsa. Ele menciona que as estatísticas do próprio governo dos Estados Unidos comprovam um superávit desse país no comércio de bens e serviços com o Brasil, no valor de 410 bilhões de dólares ao longo dos últimos 15 anos.

A imagem mostra um tweet do usuário [@]LulaOficial, identificado como Lula, com um fundo que incorpora as cores da bandeira do Brasil: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho. O tweet aborda a rejeição da sociedade brasileira a conteúdos de ódio, racismo, pornografia infantil, golpes, fraudes, discursos contra os direitos humanos e a liberdade democrática nas plataformas digitais. Ele enfatiza que, no Brasil, a liberdade de expressão não se confunde com agressão ou práticas violentas, e que todas as empresas, nacionais e estrangeiras, estão submetidas à legislação brasileira.

A imagem mostra um tweet do perfil oficial de Lula ([@]LulaOficial) com um fundo dividido em quatro cores: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho, que representam as cores da bandeira do Brasil. O tweet é uma resposta à manifestação pública do presidente norte-americano Donald Trump, publicada em uma rede social na tarde da quarta-feira (9). O texto destaca que o Brasil é um país soberano com instituições independentes que não aceitarão ser tutelados por ninguém. Além disso, o tweet afirma que o processo judicial contra aqueles que planejaram o golpe de estado é de competência apenas da Justiça Brasileira e, portanto, não está sujeito a qualquer tipo de interferência ou ameaça que fira a independência das instituições nacionais.

Archive.org has mangled some of my very basic pages from the 1990s so I’d use archive.today (and similar), too. I used to code & instead of & for ampersands (since they rendered correctly enough on Netscape) but Wayback Machine insists on adding a semicolon (but not amp) in a random place. Archive.today seems to give more faithful reproductions. Really glad you got it sorted.

> Really glad you got it sorted

For those 2. My long term plan is to move the Disintermedia blog to a community-hosted service (Ghost is a favourite but I'm still evaluating options).

When it comes time, I'll try to write a bash script that goes through the most complete archive of the CoActivate version, copies each post into the new one. Bonus extra; change each timestamp so it's correct according to the original publication date. Double bonus: do the same for the SubStack version.

Wie Fediverse-Reactions und Avatare in WordPress zusammenhängen

Einen Punkt habe ich in meinem vorigen Beitrag über Folgefragen nach dem Verbinden eines WordPress-Blogs mit dem Fediverse noch nicht behandelt: Die Abhängigkeit der Anzeige der Fediverse-Reactions von den generellen Avatar-Einstellungen in WordPress. Das ist auch ein bisschen komplexer und damit einen eigenen Beitrag wert:

Gravatar und Datenschutz


WordPress holt sich standardmäßig die Avatare zu normalen Kommentaren von gravatar.com. Hat dort jemand keinen Avatar eingerichtet, erscheint stattdessen in WordPress-Kommentaren der Platzhalter, den man unter Einstellungen > Diskussion definiert hat.

Da das mit gravatar.com nicht datenschutzfreundlich ist, wird dazu geraten, ein Plugin wie Avatar Privacy zu verwenden. Oder Avatare an oben genannter Stelle einfach ganz zu deaktivieren.

Überall zulassen oder gar keine?


Wer Avatare komplett abschaltet, ist dann zwar das Datenschutzproblem in WordPress los, bekommt aber Folgeprobleme:

  • Der zum Beitrag gehörige Autorenavatar wird auch nicht mehr angezeigt
  • Fediverse-Reactions werden nicht angezeigt

Das Problem mit dem Autorenavatar lässt sich beheben, indem ich ein Plugin wie One User Avatar benutze. Damit kann ich für jedes Benutzerprofil einen lokalen Avatar hochladen.

Das Problem mit den Fediverse-Reactions behebt das aber nicht.

Alles gut, dank Blockthemes


Um die Fediverse-Reactions anzeigen zu können, müssen Avatare also erlaubt sein. Da man mit den o.g. Plugins dafür nicht weiterkommt, bleibt nur eins und das geht dank Blockthemes kinderleicht: den Platzhalter für Avatare aus dem Kommentartemplate komplett entfernen! Hier also nochmal die Konstellation, wie ich sie hier verwende:

  • Avatare in WordPress-Einstellungen unter Diskussion zulassen, damit Fediverse-Reaktionen und Autorenavatare dargestellt werden können
  • One User Avatar installieren, um Autorenavatare darstellen zu können, ohne das zu Gravatar gefunkt wird
  • Platzhalter für Kommentar-Avatare löschen (oder Avatar Privacy installieren), um zu verhindern, dass für Kommentar-Avatare zu Gravatar gefunkt wird.


Wie handhabst Du das in Deinem Blog?



Trump begründet Zölle für Brasilien mit "Hexenjagd" gegen Bolsonaro

An early example of creating vector layers via Python scripting in #GIMP. In addition to giving access to plug-in developers, we'll eventually use this to load SVGs as vectors (and load vector layers from formats that support them like PSD and PSP)!

There's still a lot of work to be done, both in the public API and internally, but progress continues.

Jump Drive on Boardgamearena.com is so addictive! It's a very streamlined version of Race for the Galaxy, one of my all-time favorite #boardgames. The solo mode has you running a "campaign", where you try to beat certain scores in certain ways. You can easily run a campaign in about 30 minutes. I fell 1 point short of winning the easiest campaign. Love it!

The image shows a screenshot from a digital board game interface. The top section displays player information and game progress. The player "jdarnold" has a score of -1, with 5 cubes, 8 points, 7 cards, and +8 dollars. The "Outreach" section lists victory conditions: "Great Victory" (60 VPs), "Military Victory" (50 VPs and +8), "Peaceful Victory" (50 VPs; may not use +? to place worlds), and "Discovery Victory" (45 VPs and must Explore at least once). The game has ended in a defeat, as indicated by the message "End of game: End of game (defeat)".

The middle section shows the player's hand, with cards like "Rosetta Stone World," "Avian Uplift Race," "Rebel Miners," "Adaptable Uplift Race," "Convict Miners," "Investment Credits," and "Space Marines." The bottom section displays "jdarnold's tableau," featuring cards such as "Mining Robots," "Asteroid Belt," "Pirate Fuel Cache," "Reptilian Uplift World," "Alien Robot Sentry," and "Rebel Outpost." The interface includes options like "Return to main site," "Propose a rematch," "Play again," and "Return to table list." The bottom navigation bar offers links to "How to play," "Competition," "Strategy tips," "Options," and "Credits."

Control Panel 1.0 -

Pour célébrer la naissance de mon enfant, j'ai brodé le panneau de contrôle du premier Macintosh.

À partir d'une capture d'écran, j'ai créé le modèle à broder, en mettant son nom dans la barre de titre, sa date et son poids de naissance. J'ai mis plusieurs mois à le réaliser, et il est né quelques semaines avant que j'arrive à le terminer, ce qui tombe bien parce que je devait de toute façon attendre la naissance pour les informations de dernière minute.

Je suis impatiente de partager un jour avec lui l'origine de cette œuvre de Susan Kare.

My latest project is to check an old cedar fence nearby, which is already decaying, for lichens.
I have found some really beautiful lichens, one of which is this Common Clam lichen (Hypocenomyce scalaris).
This lichen consists mainly of small lobes (squamules) that look like clams, very rarely this lichen produces apothecia.
On the second photo you can even see these apothecia (black round dots with grey rims).

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push – Politico

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push

The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars.
A rocket takes off.

By Sam Skove, 07/09/2025 01:14 PM EDT

At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave under a push to shed staff, according to documents obtained by POLITICO — potentially spelling trouble for White House space policy and depriving the agency of decades of experience.

The 2,145 employees are those in GS-13 to GS-15 positions — senior-level government ranks that are typically reserved for those with specialized skills or management responsibilities. The losses are particularly concentrated at higher levels, with 875 GS-15 employees set to leave, according to the documents.

Those 2,145 employees, in turn, make up the bulk of the 2,694 civil staff who have agreed to leave NASA under a slate of offers that fall within broader administration efforts to trim the federal workforce, according to the documents. NASA has offered staff early retirement, buyouts and deferred resignations.

Many of those leaving also serve in NASA’s core mission sets, according to the documents. Those leaving include 1,818 staff serving in mission areas like science or human space flight, with the rest performing mission support roles like IT, facilities management or finance.

“You’re losing the managerial and core technical expertise of the agency,” said Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at The Planetary Society. “What’s the strategy and what do we hope to achieve here?”

The departures follow a proposed White House budget for 2026 that would slash NASA’s funding by 25 percent and cut over 5,000 staff. The cuts, if enacted by Congress, would force the agency to operate with the smallest budget and staff since the early 1960s.

The losses are spread across each of NASA’s 10 regional centers, where much of the agency’s work is done and which focus on everything from planning astronaut missions to the moon to sending out deep space probes.

The Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland is set to lose the most staff at 607; Johnson Space Center in Texas will lose 366 staff; Kennedy Space Center in Florida will lose 311; and NASA headquarters in Washington will lose 307. Langley Research Center in Virginia will lose 281, Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama will lose 279, and Cleveland’s Glenn Research Center will lose 191 staff.
