Today is the twenty-ninth day of the government shutdown, and the House of Representatives is still on break as House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues to try to force the Senate to pass the House measure to fund the government without negotiating over the Democrats’ demand for the extension of the premium tax credit without which healthcare premiums will skyrocket."

"It's also a blatant lie. Until its quiet removal on October 1, the website included information on nearly $6 billion in SNAP contingency funds which exist
'to ensure that the state can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown.' But the Trump regime is hiding the truth to avoid releasing the funding."

Anuncio Importante – WhatsApp blinda los backups con la huella
WhatsApp ha implementado una nueva capa de seguridad para sus copias de seguridad cifradas de extremo a extremo, adoptando la tecnología de claves de acceso (Passkeys). Esta medida permite a los usuarios proteger sus respaldos de chat utilizando su huella dactilar, reconocimiento facial o el código de bloqueo del dispositivo. La actualización busca eliminar la necesidad de recordar complejas contraseñas o las engorrosas claves de cifrado de 64 dígitos (Fuente Meta).
La plataforma de mensajería, propiedad de Meta, ha resuelto uno de los mayores puntos débiles en la experiencia de usuario de su sistema de cifrado de extremo a extremo para copias de seguridad: la gestión de credenciales. Anteriormente, al activar el cifrado de extremo a extremo para los respaldos almacenados en la nube (como iCloud o Google Drive), el usuario debía crear y memorizar una contraseña o una clave de cifrado de 64 dígitos. Olvidar esta clave resultaba en la pérdida irrecuperable de la copia de seguridad, ya que WhatsApp no tiene forma de restablecerla ni acceder a ella.
Con la integración de las Passkeys, WhatsApp simplifica drásticamente este proceso, alineándose con las tendencias de autenticación sin contraseña (passwordless). La seguridad del respaldo queda ahora ligada a los sistemas biométricos o al código de bloqueo de pantalla del dispositivo. Esta tecnología, basada en estándares como FIDO2/WebAuthn, almacena la clave criptográfica de forma segura en el dispositivo, garantizando que el proceso de restauración sea tan simple como un toque o un vistazo, manteniendo el mismo nivel robusto de protección de extremo a extremo.
IMPORTANTE – Esta función se implementará de forma gradual en las próximas semanas y meses. Para comenzar, ve a Ajustes > Chats > Copia de seguridad > Copia de seguridad cifrada de extremo a extremo.
La función está siendo implementada de forma gradual para todos los usuarios de iOS y Android. Para activarla, los usuarios deben navegar en la aplicación a la sección Ajustes > Chats > Copia de seguridad > Copia de seguridad cifrada de extremo a extremo y seguir los pasos para asociar una Passkey, eliminando la dependencia de las contraseñas tradicionales.

Hello, kind friends,
My wife, children, and I are still living in this fragile tent, with no real protection from the cold.
Winter is growing harsher, and we don’t have enough to keep warm — no winter clothes, no blankets.

I've had many people asking about joining a GTS server lately, not sure what to suggest as there isn't a "JoinGoToSocial" website anywhere and the official GTS site is aimed at self-hosting people.

The United States is in a weaker position today vis a vis trade with China than it was at this time last year.
Weaker in other ways too, but one glaring area is trade. Among the ways America is weaker and China stronger: China got more access to high level American chips, while the US got less access to Chinese rare earths.

Here's an alt-text description for the image:
The image shows a vibrant garden scene with a brick pathway leading towards the center of the frame. In the center, a turquoise umbrella with a patterned design stands on a pedestal. Lush, dark red foliage surrounds the pathway and umbrella, creating a visually striking contrast. The pathway leads to a circular stone surface where a pool of still, dark water sits. Palm trees are visible in the background, hinting at a tropical setting. The overall impression is one of a secluded and well-maintained garden space.
There is no text in the image.

The image is a close-up portrait of a person. The person has dark hair and is wearing glasses. They are wearing a red shirt with a white collar and a patterned green scarf. The background is a simple light gray. The person is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. The lighting is soft and evenly distributed.

Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time?
MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

#Google's #AndroidDeveloperVerification makes #Android worse than iOS because Android users are Google's product. Users attention is sold to advertisers. #Apple's business model is selling the device and integrated services, which means its users are its customers (although Apple still plays with selling their users too).
Android currently allows users to opt out of being sold by Google. Once they lock down the ecosystem, that will become less and less possible.
This is and has no longer been true for a while now.
AppStore is full of ads. OS full of pseudo- anonymized (this can't be a thing) tracking. And next up is a plan to add ads to maps apps. Oh well 🙄

Every morning, the wind circles my tent like a restless ghost, tearing me from sleep. It does not whisper comfort — it screams a harsh truth: I am still here. Not by choice, but because the occupation drove us from our homes, turning them into rubble and leaving me with nothing but this cold tent for refuge.My body is here, but my soul never left the place that once held my laughter, my silence, my peace. I miss the warmth of my home — the sunlight spilling through familiar windows, and the small joys I once took for granted: quiet mornings, fleeting smiles, the fragile moments that made life whole.
Each gust of wind reminds me of what we lost, and each night the cold carves its way into my bones, as if searching for the warmth it once knew. Yet even among the ruins of our lives, our will endures.
They took everything from us, yet our memories remain — fragments of life that still warm our hearts, and the stubborn hope we cling to until life returns once more.

It’s good to keep super cheap film around (even if you don’t like it - I don’t care for this film) for testing cameras. I think I’ll also play around with seeing if I can shoot this at 400, just because. I’m pretty confident in the shutter on this, it all works smoothly so it will mainly be testing for light leaks and rangefinder focus.
