Thank you so much to the kind person who donated 100 euros. Your support truly means the world to us. We are now very close to reaching our goal of $500, but we still need a little more help to get there. Please, I kindly ask anyone who is able to donate, even the smallest amount can make a big difference. Your kindness can bring warmth, hope, and relief to our situation. ❣️🙏

Introducing Overmorrow. A weekly (question mark?) newsletter about technology.
On Mastodon, I mostly post what could be called jokes, but I've also picked up a lot of followers from critiques and satire about AI, software, Big Tech, etc. And I've wanted to get back into longer-form writing for a while.
First edition is live on the site. If you're damaged enough to tolerate my posts, and inexplicably you want more, please subscribe to my dumb newsletter here (it's free):

I started assembling a little #ZMK dongle. After adding backlight to my Game Boy a couple of years back, it was my second time soldering. Considering that this is still pretty new to me, I’m happy with the results 🤗

El primer plano muestra una turbina de metal de color verde y marrón, con un centro grande y circular. Alrededor del centro hay una serie de palas curvas que se extienden hacia afuera en un patrón radial. El metal tiene una pátina que sugiere que está oxidado y está expuesto a los elementos. La parte exterior de la turbina está rodeada por un anillo ancho con varios tornillos sobresaliendo de él. La superficie general parece texturizada y desgastada, con un efecto envejecido. El fondo es un área verde difusa y sin foco.

Not wet but a gloomy day continues. Sunny days are forecast for Friday and Saturday. We need some blue sky and sunshine. Autumn is trying hard in our yard, while a rose is giving us perhaps the last spark. of the season. One more day.

Welp, I've stopped using Yahoo for search again. They started up with AI summaries. I was thumbs-downing them with nasty notes, but then the search results themselves started to suck as badly as anything else.
Searx was my co-go-to with Yahoo, but my top favorite instances started erroring out, then the next one I tried would only return results from a handful of sites. I got tired of constantly switching instances.
So I'm back on Qwant. I forgot why I stopped using that one. Either they fixed it, or I will be reminded soon enough.

A favourite isbjørn / polar bear photo from 2022. The square is a patch of ice with snow cleared away. It might have been a place for collecting ice cores, or light transmission measurements? It seems like the bear is looking up at us on the ship, pointing at our vandalism and asking 'what. are. you. doing. to. my. house?'

DoD strips job protections from civilian employees, directs managers to fire with ‘speed and conviction’
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48899185
The Defense Department is stripping away job protections from its civilian employees and directing managers to “act with speed and conviction” to fire employees performing “unsuccessfully.”A new Sept. 30 memo titled “Separation of Employees with Unacceptable Performance,” which became public Tuesday, also warned that managers will be held accountable if they fail to remove poor performers.
Pentagon’s Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, who signed the memo, suspended the department’s requirement that managers attempt to rehabilitate underperforming employees — clearing the way for supervisors to fire workers whose performance is deemed “unacceptable” more quickly.
“They are trying to cloak it in legalistic language and make it sound legitimate, but the reality is they’re stripping due process significantly and making it easier for arbitrary terminations, similar and functional to private sector employment,” Sean Timmons, managing partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, told Federal News Network.

#Trans people are under attack
Globally, trans people face staggering rates of violence - particularly trans women
Data shows that in 2024, the number of trans people reported murdered surpassed 5,000
They are vilified for existing while we - cisgender women - face our greatest threats from men who face no such scrutiny.
Enough false feminism that abandons the most vulnerable women leaving all women at greater risk.

Hay varias gotas de agua del mismo tamaño dispuestas de forma regular en la rama. La imagen está enfocada en las gotas de agua, creando un efecto de primer plano. El resto de la escena está borrosa y de bajo contraste.
