Trump and Vance expressed some frustration that Russia isn’t going along with their peace push.
“But it never comes with demands that Russia make concessions, nor a renewed commitment to Ukraine’s defense that could force Russia into a real deal. And it quickly snapped back to Trump excusing Putin.”

Esse aqui é um projeto que fiz ano passado quando tava estudando na DevMedia, projeto pronto.
Agora to recriando ele pra implementar MVC + Twig Template + um BackEnd em PHP.
O projeto em si era uma página estática de um Petshop.
Agora tô alterando pra fazer um sisteminha de cadastro pra animais de estimação.
Talvez pode ser útil pra quem tem muitos bichos e precisa controlar o nome, algum dado importante sobre ele, como data de vacinas, ração, etc.
Não devo desenvolver muito profundamente, já que é pra portfólio.
Mas é tão satisfatório ver esse pequeno avanço! 😋
A imagem mostra uma tela dividida em duas partes. À esquerda, há uma janela aberta de um navegador web exibindo um site chamado "Pet Life," que parece ser um serviço para registrar informações de animais de estimação. O site tem um design clean e moderno, com um cabeçalho que inclui o logotipo "Pet Life" e o slogan "Cuidando do seu melhor amigo." O banner principal exibe a frase "Registre Todas as Informações do Seu Pet!" com um botão "Adicionar agora" em destaque. Abaixo do banner, há uma seção intitulada "Alguns dos Nossos Serviços," que lista serviços como cadastro completo, saúde e bem-estar, e detalhes importantes. A imagem de fundo do banner mostra o rosto de um cachorro.
À direita, há uma janela de um editor de código, provavelmente um IDE (Integrated Development Environment), com código escrito em JavaScript. O código está organizado em várias seções, com comentários e estruturas de código visíveis. O editor tem um tema escuro, com linhas de código coloridas para facilitar a leitura. A barra lateral do editor mostra uma estrutura de arquivos, indicando que o desenvolvedor está trabalhando em um projeto web.
A imagem sugere que alguém está desenvolvendo ou editando o site "Pet Life," possivelmente adicionando ou atualizando funcionalidades relacionadas ao cadastro e gerenciamento de informações de animais de estimação.

This is unnecessary complicated. Can be done in a few lines of VBScript, using WMI.
Also, the persistence mechanism is unnecessary.

FEDIVERSE LOGO — Ⅎ
Andy Piper ( @andypiper ) says:
“Of course, we can’t just use an F [as a logo for the Fediverse], because Friendica took that one”
Well, we could (instead) use a variation of the "F" symbol.
We could (instead) use the TURNED CAPITAL F (U+2132) for a Fediverse logo.
Ⅎ
It is considered an 'obsolete' symbol, and thus largely unused (despite being in Unicode).
We could make it a (new) logo for the Fediverse.

in reply to Fuchsmädchen • • •Das Bild zeigt eine offene Farbeimer mit einer tiefen, grünen Farbe. Der Eimer ist schwarz und hat einen offenen Deckel, der ebenfalls grün ist und mit Farbe bedeckt ist. Die Farbe im Eimer ist glatt und gleichmäßig, mit einigen kleinen Blasen auf der Oberfläche. Der Eimer steht auf einem runden, grauen Tisch, der mit Plastikfolie abgedeckt ist, um Farbspritzer zu verhindern. Um den Eimer herum sind einige Farbspritzer und kleine Farbreste zu sehen. Im Hintergrund ist ein weiterer, kleinerer Eimer mit grüner Farbe und einem orangefarbenen Rand zu sehen. Die Umgebung deutet auf eine Malerei- oder Renovierungsarbeitsstelle hin.
