I hate the fact that ALL youtube videos in which somebody's explaining things, testing stuff, teaching how to play, hot to use a tool, EVERYTHING -
they have THAT fucking out-of-focus background, THOSE dim lights, THAT IKEA furniture
come on, avoid the cliché, find your own aestethics, I don't wanna see eyecandied scenes to turn off the brains - be yourself, show us your fucking bed, your dirty window panes

As the day ends, the Trump gang is not backing off an inch from its use of Signal, in blatant violation of the Federal Records Act. Democrats haven't yet focused on it; nor has most of the press.
But Josh Marshall gets it: "These are disappearing communications. They won’t be in the National Archives. Future administrations won’t know what happened. There also won’t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed."

The image depicts a stylized character sitting on a large, serpentine dragon. The character is dressed in ornate armor and traditional attire, featuring a white top with gold accents, a red sash, and black boots with gold detailing. The character holds a sword in their right hand and wears multiple pieces of jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets. The dragon, with a silver body and red and orange flames, has a golden head with horns and a green ring in its nose. The dragon's tail is wrapped around the character's legs, and its body is adorned with flowing ribbons in teal and red. The background is a solid dark color, emphasizing the character and the dragon.

Good to know CIA Director John Ratcliffe is fully onboard with the coup. Guess he's been a good sleeper cell for four years.
I have trouble seeing how this ends without violence. The courts better deputize some people with weapons while there's still a court system.

Breaking News: It gets worse, The Pentagon sent out a clear warning one week before the group chat disaster that Russian spies hacked their chats already by “targeting Signal Messenger to spy on persons of interest.”
A department-wide email went out last week warning everyone in the DOD that a vulnerability was detected in the Signal messaging app, which Hegseth, along with several other administration officials, including JD Vance, used to discuss bombing Houthi targets in Yemen.
The DOD email stated: “Russian professional hacking groups are employing the ‘linked devices’ features to spy on encrypted conversations,” and noted that Google identified Russian hacking groups “targeting Signal Messenger to spy on persons of interest.”

Hey @pixelfed,
Are the API endpoints used in the official #Pixelfed app documented somewhere or we missed something?
We try our best to provide good Pixelfed support in #Fedilab. It would be easier if API information are easily accessible. That would help other third-party apps too. There are some information available in beta-preview.pixelfed.io and docs.pixelfed.org, but it seems not complete
Pixelfed API Reference

Most recent and current issues we're having with Pixelfed are,
- Posting DMs doesn't work
- Login issues with 2FA enabled accounts
We are also using MastoAPI. The official Pixelfed app doesn't have these problems, so we assumed there has to be some differences.
