Where stone remembers and silence speaks - Tungkillo’s quiet legacy.
Tungkillo Cemetery, Tungkillo, South Australia, August 2022.
Tungkillo Cemetery, located in the Mid Murray region of South Australia, serves as a resting place for generations of local families, pioneers, and settlers.
The township of Tungkillo itself was surveyed in the mid-19th century, and the cemetery reflects this colonial heritage. Many of the headstones date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, bearing names tied to the region’s agricultural and community development.

They got caught, that's all. This is classic Zuck apology tour. Push things as far as you can, exploit and pimp children as much as possible, then row back a little when you get caught.
They’ve been doing it forever, sometimes the Meta media product changes. Bits on this in Sarah Wynn-Williams book - Careless People. Well worth a read. The local library got it for me. It’s not expensive either now the paperback is out.
@Jeffrey My main gripe with that book is how the author constantly refers to how she was so innocent and naiive and not a direct participant in what was happening.
Orangeville Township said a ransomware incident on July 26, 2025 disrupted its network, but a completed forensic review found no evidence any township data—including personal information—was accessed or exposed.
for much as I do like the story setup for the second part of the new pokemon anime, I have been noticing...a concerning lack of budget, lol. It's not god awful but it's pretty poor right now and has persisted too long to be for "we're saving up for a really good upcoming arc". These are episodes that aren't filler designed to work within budget either, they do a multi pokemon battles pretty much every episode and they're supremely sub par.
I fear they won't get to execute on the good ideas.
like it's not bad but like something about quaxwell here just made me fucking laugh. the only animation in this panning shot is roy blinking so qualxwell is just sooooo
1/ Poursuivie, condamnée... parce que j'ai osé dénoncer l'injustice 🧵 Avec mes camarades, nous avons bloqué un TGV et les pistes de l'aéroport de Toulouse pour rendre visible ce que la société veut cacher : l'inaccessibilité, la précarité organisée des personnes handicapées ⚖️ Notre crime ? Vouloir vivre dignement, participer à la société. Mais quand l'ONU dénonce "ségrégation, privation de liberté et atteinte aux droits humains" en France, que faire d'autre que l'action directe non-violente ? 😡
I uncovered this native clematis 'virgin's bower' last year removing an overgrown non native boxwood, of which there are way too many. It seemed to be isolated in that location but this year has shown up welcomed yet unexpected in a variety of settings. I also see Virginia creeper just above it which will provide beautiful autumn color later in the year
Sometimes “natural” means “conducive to the thriving of involved organisms and ecosystems” and sometimes it means “the state that a system left to its own devices will tend to.”
Conflating these two definitions is part of the rhetorical strategy of the right.
Take hierarchies of authority. Or ethnic self-sorting. These are “natural” in the sense that they will tend to occur in groups of people who do not make a deliberate effort to avoid them.
Hoy tuvimos un intento de #pishing en la cuenta de #peertube de wacha.punks.cc. Un comentario en un video de #mastodon. Que pena que exista gente que ocupe las redes libres y federadas para hacer estafas y más a espacios del periodismo crítico. Comparto pantallazo del intento a través de un mensaje y una liga maliciosa. En una revisión de la liga en virustotal.com nos arrojó alertas. Comparto para estar alertas. saludos. #fediverse #mastodon #fediverso
This is a screenshot of the final position of the chess game I won in 14 moves yesterday. I've taken to playing the King's Gambit a lot when I have the white pieces. I got the opportunity to sac a knight on f7 and then went on a king hunt, finally driving the black king to b6 where I delivered mate with Qb5++. You can see I had a huge lead in development. The only minor piece that black ever moved was its king's knight.
Unsure of how to deal with the news that's dropped today and makes me feel like being out in public will get more dangerous for trans people here in the USA.
Do I still go to the chess club on Sunday, take the risk that I might get clocked as being trans and that there'll be some person there who will think they need to harass a trans person?
“At the heart of the grievance collector’s worldview is that he is not responsible for the condition of his life; a vast conspiracy of malevolent individuals and forces is entirely at fault. There is always someone else to blame, and these mass shooters always find ways to excuse their own actions and deflect the responsibility to others.”
Well, I think the verdict is in on my power supply mods. I've been watching it, making sure all is good, and it's been ice cold, near ambient the whole time. So I think it's a win! Much quieter, much cooler. I've been running FT8 on it all day and things have gone perfectly smoothly, so I'm very happy with how it turned out!

Notable changes in version 31:
skip package enabled checked for a static dependency on the same package to avoid apps like Vanadium being treated as unavailable due to missing dependencies when us...
@RealNameTBA How is the system we use to ship package updates for GrapheneOS and offer optional components not installed by default useless? It's a very important core part of the OS.
Okay, yes, it is good for the half-dozen Graphene-supplied apps. But now there's a batch of other stuff: text editors, a language-teaching program, and so forth. All of it without description or details such as whether it is a paid service. Click on anything and you're at the download page which with few exceptions offers no description, just the download button. Which regularly downloads the application. Starting the app sometimes then involves a configuration and registration page, and only after that do you even find out what the damned thing is. Which frequently suggests that the program is some sketchy thing glomming onto the privacy and safety reputation of GrapheneOS. Not a useful thing and not a good look.
@RealNameTBA Absolutely none of that is true. You're wrongly conflating the GrapheneOS App Store with Accrescent. Accrescent is not a GrapheneOS app and is not developed or funded by GrapheneOS. It's not marked as being a GrapheneOS app and is very clearly an entirely separate thing from our App Store. Accrescent is in Alpha and very clearly not what the UI is going to be once it's further along. It will have categorization including based on whether apps are open source. Entirely different app.
@RealNameTBA We provide it so people have a way to securely install it and then securely obtain other apps through it. Accrescent is in Alpha so the user interface is far from complete including categorization of apps and not a lot of apps are available in it. We've decided not to focus on distributing developer builds of apps since Accrescent is building that already with a good approach. It's going to get a lot better over time, It's quite new and doesn't have a lot of funding yet.
Might want to point that out, in that the app store is assumed by users to be a place where only approved, safe, reliable things are found, and not the alpha version of a distributor of unknown apps.
@RealNameTBA Accrescent is a safe and reliable app. It's not distributing 'unknown' apps. It's a safer way to obtain apps than the Play Store. It's not limited to open source apps but will have filtering to choose to only see those if you want or to check if the app is open source. A proposal has been made for verifying reproducible builds in the future too if you care about that, although the benefits are overstated.
So Agent Orange is again threatening Europe: we must let his Big Tech buddies do whatever they want in Europe, or face extra idiotic tariffs.
People in the US, do you understand what your glorious leader is doing?
Or better: what he's trying to do. We European have only one choice: tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine. European market means European rules, our way or the highway.
I don't understand the logic of this. The orange clown is angry with Europe, so he makes his citizens pay more for European goods. It is like saying: "If you go on like this, i'll chop off my own hand!".
