The tariff fight is plain insane. Tariffs are the purview of Congress. They aren't the president's YOLO. It's going to be amazing to see how SCOTUS throws out the plain language of the Constitution to take the tariff power away from Congress and grant it to Trump. They're very smart - I'm sure they can torture the hell out of both logic and history to come up with some nonsense. But their names will go down in history as shameful, and plain shit. Just stupidity and motivated reasoning.
With this rewatch of #BattlestarGalactica I’m doing with my sister Laura Roslin’s fascism is so much more stark than I remember. In the 2000’s I thought she was likable despite her flaws but now I’m hard pressed to find any redeeming qualities in her. One thing remains the same, she’s played to perfection by Mary McDonnell. #ScienceFiction #SciFi #TV #Television
i was obsessed with the show when it was new, but haven't had the stomach to watch it again since then. i'm kind of afraid of it not holding up on a rewatch considering how "war on terror" flavored it felt even at the time (same reason i dislike a lot of star trek enterprise).
now that we've had a couple of decades of increasing fascism at home i'd probably pick up on those themes a lot more. i could definitely anticipate seeing roslin in a much darker light now
@jiub I think the writing holds up and, for me at least, it’s been a fascinating lens for looking back on the 2000s. A quest to find earth that started as a military lie then became religious truth and eventually literal truth feels representative of the war on terror as a whole. A war started on a false premise that was normalized then eventually embraced by liberals even. I’m hesitant to call it allegory because I don’t think it was intentional.
Hey folks, please take a minute to sign the “No Contract, No Coffee! Pledge” to show Solidarity With Starbucks Workers United. Support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line by not patronizing any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike. Even you don’t patronize Starbucks for whatever reason, add your name to the pledge to show our siblings at SBWU that you have their backs.
Japan cannot afford to sever ties with Moscow. It is forced to maintain relations with it. This is stated in an article published in the Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun. Russia was and remains our neighbor - the Japanese press notes.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Saturday he expected that Russia would only stop its war against Ukraine once it could no longer wage it for economic and military reasons, given that diplomatic efforts in recent weeks had failed.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirmed his support on Saturday for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine during a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Modi's office said.

Pro-Palestinian activists are preparing to set sail from Spain on Sunday for Gaza in dozens of boats carrying aid in an attempt to break Israel’s US-backed genocidal siege on the embattled Palestinian territory.
Actualmente (Mastodon v4.4.3), la altura de la vista de anuncios es impredecible; cambia según el contenido de cada página de anuncios, haciendo que quien usa la aplicación tenga que perseguir el selector de páginas para cambiar entre anuncio y anuncio (ver GIF animado adjunto).
La altura de esta vista debería ser fija, de manera que la persona pueda mantener el cursor en el mismo lugar dentro de la pantalla para ir cambiando de página fácilmente.
Este cambio beneficiaría a personas con y sin discapacidad (me parece a mí).
Pitch The idea is to make the view predictable and stable, so that it is possible to keep the pointing device in the same area of the screen to easily navigate through the announcements pages. This...

Margaret Thatcher, PM of the UK through the 1980s, was infamous for saying that there is no such thing as society, just individuals.
Which is a bit like saying there's no such thing as a city, only individual buildings. Or, there's no such thing as the fediverse, only individual accounts.
But there's a more subtle way that neoliberals express Thatcher's disbelief in society. By arguing against the ideal of the fediverse as a common carrier, open to everyone.
Those who argue for opt-in federation between services (eg the opt-in forced on BridgyFed), rather than interop being the default. Those who argue for mass blocking of this or that service, not because of the behaviour of the people using them, but because we don't like the company that owns them. Those who believe in the fediverse as an ocean separating islands of like-minded people, instead of a way to explore and encounter people thinking thoughts we never knew were possible.
These people too are arguing against the idea of a society larger than themselves, and their in-group.
That's not to say that all Muting/ Blocking is wrong or anything silly like that. Just that they should be a last resort, considered case-by-case (collectively as well as individually), not the default. Because a connection with this larger social space, and the opportunities for learning and collaboration it brings, is the whole point of online social network tools.

Tomorrow is Ollie's birthday. I think he'll be six. OMG. Here's a photo from 2022 with his then-favorite toy before he destroyed it.
I am sure there are other dogs who love humans as much as he does, but he ranks very high. If I walked up to a total stranger and started kissing them all over the face, I'd be in BIG trouble. Ollie does it and people's self-esteem goes up 500% in seconds. He's a walking ball of love. ❤️

The deed is done. Letzter Task bei Datenbankumzug und -rekonstruktion in @darktable erledigt. Nach vielen Jahren ist #Lightroom bei mir nun Geschichte. Ich muss auf einigen Luxus verzichten, ein paar Kompromisse eingehen und musste zwei wesentliche Funktionen nachkaufen, aber das Kerngeschäft (#RAW-Entwicklung) beherrscht #darktable ganz hervorragend. Für den Übergang nahm ich mir einige Monate Zeit, noch ist der Workflow etwas zäher, aber für ein Hobby kann ich damit leben.
Kannst du deine ganzen bisherigen Fotos aus Lightroom nach @darktable importieren? Und bleiben dabei dann auch alle angewendeten Aktivitäten / Filter erhalten?
@geco_de Ja, alle Bilder werden übertragen (außer bei proprietär angereicherten DNGs) und in die DT-Library aufgenommen, inkl. Metadaten aus den Bildern oder den XMP-Sidecars, die Lightroom hoffentlich angelegt hat. Aber Bildeinstellungen und Filter werden NICHT übernommen! Ausentwickelte RAWs musst Du als hochaufgelöste JPEGs / TIFF exportieren und mitübertragen, also am besten parallel zum LR-Original wieder in den gleichen Ordner re-importieren. Sonstiges: bildung.social/@TeachrDigital/…
@Erutario@norden.social Moin, das würde ich neulich schon mal gefragt. Habe noch nichts dazu geschrieben und auch keine Infrastruktur dafür (kein Blog), aber es juckt mich tatsächlich in den Fingern (früher nebenher extrem viel geschrieben, auch Büch…
@geco_de Lohnt sich! Wobei solche Urteile gerade in dem Bereich höchst subjektiv sind. Tipp: Statt direkt die vorhandenen Bilder in die DT-Lib zu übernehmen (das braucht sehr viele Überlegungen und Vorbereitungen in LR), würde ich eher mal mit Bildbearbeitung und RAW-Workflow anfangen. Viel Einlesen, viele Videos fürs Konzept. Erst wenn Du beschlossen hast, dass Du damit leben kannst (auch mit Kompromissen und Defiziten), würde ich die Lib übertragen.
Saw this at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens today. Even amongst all the orchids it commanded attention. A sign around the corner revealed it to be a "bat flower".
Missed my alarm this morning and got to the soccer game 5 mins after it started instead of 40 mins before... But we won the first game 2-0 and my son initiated the second goal from a clearance deep in our backfield. so we are doing OK. Hanging out in a parking lot with the AC on until 2:15 or so. Its hot but not as hot as last week.
I’m kind of worried about the next few days because I think we are headed towards some gigantic West Coast heat dome most of it’s in the Oregon Washington area but yeah..

So now I need to set up mariadb but I can't figure out what the cli command is. though I got mycli installed... but how do I get connected as root and create users and dbs and tables?
It should be some sort of standard sequel command line. My recollection or assumption would be that the command line interface is somewhat standardized so say whatever MySQL had.
I'm making a helper circuit for my LED lamp project. This I can reuse when switching either the LED strip or the controller hardware. It's a 1000uF capacitor that sits between Vcc and GND and a 1k trim potentiometer for the data line.
Копаясь в пете я кажись выдумал новый алгоритм синхронизации в распределенной системе, который потянет на скромную статью. Попробовать что ли опубликоваться.
С нейронкой болтал и придумал как существующие решения использовать боком так, что будет кажись круче. Нейронка говорит, что в известной литературе боком никто не пробовал. Погуглю на досуге наверное.
Went for a bike ride today and stopped by the small, free, Rosie the Riveter museum, owned by the national parks. It talks about WW2 at home - about the women who worked in factories, of course, and the role Richmond played in shipbuilding, but also the gains people of colour made during this time, as well as the internment of people of Japanese descent.
There are plans to remove anything "inappropriate" by September 17, so this is maybe the last opportunity to see the uncensored version of the museum. This small museum will become a lot smaller.
I took a bunch of photos of the exhibits that I think will go away. I'm thinking of putting them up on my blog (cause the alt text would be long) but here are some of the more concise ones
Remember that $30 million military parade the president forced on everyone in June? Now our dear leader wants a redo—by sea.

Things I figured out: how to get logged in as root to the mariadb, how to create a zabbix user, and how to populate the schema... Things I haven't figured out yet.. How to get zabbix to connect without using TLS.
The Simons-Laufer Mathematical Sciences institute, or #SLMath (formerly the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, or MSRI) has recently restructured its program formats, and is now announcing three new research initiatives, whose applications open on Sep 1 2025:
* AxIOM (Accelerating Innovation in Mathematics) is a new, month-long research program at SLMath, designed to accelerate innovation and introduce transformative ideas into the mathematical sciences. Programs begin in Spring 2027. * PROOF (Promoting Research Opportunities and Open Forums) is a two-week summer program designed to provide research opportunities for U.S.-based mathematicians, statisticians, and their collaborators in the U.S. and abroad, whose ongoing research may have been impacted by factors such as heavy teaching loads, professional isolation, limited access to funding, heavy administrative duties, personal obligations, or other constraints. Programs begin June-July 2026. * Lasting Alliance Through Team Immersion and Collaborative Exploration (LATTICE) is a yearlong program which provides opportunities for U.S. mathematicians to conduct collaborative research on topics at the forefront of the mathematical and statistical sciences. Programs begin June-July 2026.
Independent non-profit mathematical sciences research institute founded in 1982 in Berkeley, CA, home of collaborative research programs and public outreach.
The image depicts a portrait of a woman from the 18th or 19th century. She is wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress with a white lace-trimmed bodice and puffed white sleeves. The dress is cinched at the waist with a gold sash. The woman has long, dark hair that falls over her shoulders. She is holding a piece of paper in her right hand, which appears to be a letter, and is looking off to the side with a contemplative expression. The background is dark, which contrasts with the woman's attire and draws attention to her. The painting style is realistic, with attention to detail in the textures of the fabric and the woman's skin.

Amid rising repression of climate science domestically, researchers from universities around the country are lending their expertise to an international effort.
Know the amount of money, the federal government used to spend this hardly replaceable, but at the same time you kind of hope that a web of support for client climate science and climate work grows organically to replace it.
"Earlier this summer, access to climate.gov…was thwarted by the Trump administration, and its production team was fired in the process… Now, a team of climate communication experts – including many members of the former climate.gov team – is working to resurrect its content into a new organization with an expanded mission. Their effort’s new website, climate.us, would not only offer public-facing interpretations of climate science, but could also begin to directly offer climate-related services, such as assisting local governments with mapping increased flooding risk due to climate change."
