Over the past two years Palestinian supporters have been calling out the Israeli state for genocide and ethnic cleansing. And more people willing to listen now? And even if they are is it too late? They are trying to exterminate the Palestinians
The Israeli government’s plan to demolish what remains of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure and concentrate the Palestinian population into a tiny area would amount to an abhorrent escalation of its ongoing crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and…
Das Bild zeigt eine fantastische Szene mit einem glitzernden Pinguin, der bis zu den Schultern im Wasser steht. Der Pinguin hat ein blau-goldenes Gefieder, das an Sternen erinnert, und einen orangefarbenen Schnabel. Er steht in einem ruhigen Gewässer, umgeben von rosa Blüten, die auf den Steinen und im Wasser liegen. Im Hintergrund ist eine große, goldene Mond, die den Himmel erhellt, und Bäume mit zarten rosa Blüten. Ein verschwommener Mann im Hintergrund geht entlang einer beleuchteten Straße, die von warmen Lichtern gesäumt ist. Die gesamte Szene ist in einem mystischen, winterlichen Ambiente gehalten, mit einem Hauch von Magie und Schönheit.

During a meeting at the Vatican with newly elected Pope Leo XIV, Patriarch Sviatoslav, Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), extended an invitation for the pontiff to visit Ukraine. — Ukrinform.
"People inclined to feel nostalgia report in surveys that they are more likely to have a larger number of close friends. And nostalgia also seems to function as a psychological resource over time, promoting connection as we grow older."
Hi everyone! We're rolling out two updates today: one highly requested enhancement and one important rules clarification.
You can now once again tailor your reading experience by filtering out...
Wait, why did they remove Spy x Family? They pretty much only relink what the official publisher Shueisha's titles that are free on the site at that time. Not repost mind you, linking to the official source itself.
Edit: official publisher uploads aren't removed, gave me a scare there.
Holy shit, this is actually a pretty bad list. A lot of classics and actually good modern manga here. Unfortunate - mangadex was great while it lasted. Pirate sites are hydra, if course, but mangadex was actually usable unlike a lit of other sites.
I believe the documentation has a section for it. It can be a bit slow to open a large volume but once it’s open it works well. I just wish that they would open faster and that Jellyfin would get some QOL features around books/comics/manga.
Yes there is. They're called Kavita and Komga. If you wanna host Doujins then there is Lanraragi, it has a better tagging system then both of them but struggles with chapter merging and all.
I recommend everyone hit up the Trove, get HakuNeko or a similar app and start making offline backups. Its not going to get easier from now on. KissManga and Mangafox still have suitable uploads for plenty of those series, but we don't know for how long.
Oh, I was wondering what happened, damn. I couldn't find a good chunk on any other site, updated as much, such as Dragon Next Door. I guess ill never be able to see one updated as much again
It's like a scene from "The Antiques Roadshow." In 1946, Harvard Law School paid $27.50 for what it believed to be an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta. Two medieval history experts analyzed it and have concluded that it's actually the real deal: A rare, lost original Magna Carta from 1300 (the reign of King Edward I) that could be worth millions. Here's more from @BBCNews.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on May 15 denied reports that the United States opposes President Volodymyr Zelensky's participation at the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague.

Istanbul — it’s where Asia meets Europe, but as we now know, not where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Coinbase says cyber criminals “bribed and recruited” customer support agents who stole customer data, allowing the attackers to contact and trick users into sending them money.
@bestiaexmachina sadly not as well as I was hoping anymore^^'
Due to library incompatibilies, which we noticed way too late, we had to add another arduino. This in turn pushed our power source to its limit, forcing us to add an additional 9v battery. And now he's too heavy and only makes micro jumps. :.D
I need to make better photos tomorrow but on its back are another 2 powerhungry servos, opening and closing a 3rd "magical" eye/orb. I'm still surprised it works at all. xD
@bestiaexmachina i was lucky to be with 3 more people who were also invested in the concept. University workgroups are always a bit of a gamble but we all had a lot of fun.
"They really do want to sort of establish themselves as being like an entire ecosystem of police surveillance technology," but "there's a huge concern around" whether Fusus could be used to target protesters, EFF’s Beryl Lipton told the Detroit Free Press. freep.com/story/news/local/mic…
You really need to make a much stronger statement on this issue.
First, technofascism is the direct opposite of an ecosystem.
Second, all those "sort of", "like an" and "could be" need to go. I know, you know and everyone knows that police video surveillance networks are the foundation of city-wide digital concentration camps.
Apparently 86% of websites have “Low Contrast Text”, making it the most common #accessibility issue (even more than missing alt text). I’m quite surprised by this, as I thought most websites still have white background with black type. Maybe it’s a font size thing in many cases…Anybody have more info on this issue? accessibility.day/
Thursday, May 15, 2025 marks the 14th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). Get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access/inclusion and people with different disabilities.
What “more information” do you mean? The page you link points to the WebAIM million, which explains and lets you look up sites: webaim.org/projects/million/
I meant...er, *more information*. The links you provide are helpful, yes, but don't answer my question: why are 86% of pages failing the 'low contrast text' test? Do you know?
Looking at their methodology, a web page fails the check if there is at least one element with low-contrast text in the DOM. That's why they additionally provide the error density as context.
It's not hard to imagine why the percentage is relatively high then. Even if the main text is black on white, headings or menus are often in different colours.
thankfully my website has no text contrast issues. I did discover, however, that there is an alert for "Redundant alternative text", which I didn't even know was a thing. Seems a bit odd to recommend no alt text, but I will bear it in mind going forward. #accessibility
The image shows a small, fluffy dog with long, shaggy fur walking on a gray tiled patio. The dog is positioned in the center of the image, facing away from the camera, with its tail raised. The tiles are square and arranged in a grid pattern, with some grass growing in the gaps. The dog's shadow is cast on the ground, indicating a strong light source, likely the sun. In the background, there are two objects: a wooden planter box on the left and a wicker chair on the right. The lighting suggests it is a sunny day, with the sun casting a sharp shadow of the dog on the ground.

Interestingly enough, the narrative where I live has shifted from "These lazy Ausländer take all our jobs" to "These damn educated tech folks can afford much nicer homes and are driving up the prices, which WE locals can't afford".
Who would have thought, that education leads to better income? 🤦♂️
But it's not the foreigners that are driving up prices. It's the Germans themselves. It's just that the educated tech folks can still afford paying those (and often have to because they don't have the network to get the cheap homes).
U.S. State Secretary Marco Rubio said that meaningful progress would likely only come through a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
