WIP, as mentioned in previous post, preparing scripts for the KDE gear 25.08 update, I think I got most covered, at least for gaming I got plenty around to keep me occupied. 😇
Congratulations to Dr. Oscar Arruda d’Alva, Federal University of Ceará, recipient of the Portuguese Dissertation Award for his dissertation ‘Estatísticas oficiais e capitalismo de plataforma: a transição para um regime de dataficação no Brasil’ (Official Statistics and Platform Capitalism: The Transition to a Datafication Regime in Brazil)!

Recent climate-related crises—from severe storms and flooding to extreme heat—have raised new questions about how local governments communicate the risk of these crises and what they are doing to keep their citizens safe.

There was debate on here yesterday about whether the Sydney Sweeney ad is eugenics. And. Who knows what their intention was, but the Twitter Nazis certainly have already latched onto it.

Matvienko faces war crimes charges in Ukraine in absentia for signing decisions that authorized Russian troop deployment and approved annexing occupied territories. She also spreads propaganda that Ukraine is the actual aggressor and "war criminal."
Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said Matvienko's place should be "in the dock, not at international conferences."
Bravo to the ones that left. 👍 Shame on the ones that stayed. There should be a list of who stayed, so "we" can shund them as well, because by staying they made themselves an accomplice to Russia.
How do you measure editorial independence in 2025? The advocacy group Free Press has created a Media Capitulation Index, ranking commercial media and tech companies on a scale from one to five chickens, and giving a star to just a couple of organizations. Here's Nieman Lab's story; find the full ranking at the second link. “These corporations exist because of public policy,” Tim Karr, the author of a supplementary report on the ranking, told journalist Margaret Sullivan. “There is a genuine popular movement to create a more democratic media system. People should get engaged in this debate.”
What’s the best scale for measuring independence — or lack thereof — in 2025?
The media advocacy group Free Press (not to be confused with the Bari Weiss publication by the same name) decided the answer was “chickens.
@JessTheUnstill Yes, it's been called out only for its headlines and sanewashing Trump, vs. LATimes, which has had the huge interference from its owner, who even attended a meeting with Trump and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Washington Post isn't on the list, but Amazon gets four chickens, partly based on Jeff Bezos's using the paper to curry favor with Trump.
It is very much fake. It's being combated on all fronts to make it stop. A recent PR was done to help prevent this stuff so I imagine soon another Mastodon software release will come out and responsible admins will make adjustments.
Replaces the previously hardcoded list of reserved usernames with a new admin area that allows blocking words in usernames. Furthermore, the usernames can either be matched exactly, or any username...
In the past few hours, dozens of new accounts were created to do the scam. First image an hour ago. Second image, shows the latest two accounts with the one that hit you circled in red. It's whack a mole right now for admins and being done on servers with open signups.

1/ when i wrote my post on Epstein's #crypto connections I forgot #IsabelMaxwell (#Ghislaine's sister) was connected to #BrockPierce even before she invited Pierce to speak at epstein's #Mindshift conference.
Brock Pierce is a big nexus of connection from #Epstein to things like crypto and confirmed pedophile rings (other than his own).
both Maxwell & Pierce were socially close to a crypto broette named #AutumnRadke who died under extremely mysterious circumstances back in 2014. most people think she "fell out of a window", putin style.

Startling new information has come to light in the death of 28-year-old Autumn Radtke, the CEO of First Meta, a Singapore-based virtual currency exchange. The former Silicon Valley whiz-kid jumped …
Jeffrey Epstein touched the cryptoverse in a lot of inappropriate places. While no one has yet found any kind of smoking gun tying #Epstein directly to the creation of any major #crypto firms or technologies the timing, nature, and frequency of Epstein’s touchpoints to an industry that more or less exists solely to facilitate #moneylaundering on the scale of a medium sized nation state coupled with his vast and unexplained wealth and many connections to international intelligence agencies is what the kids today commonly describe as “sus”.
2/ neither CNBC nor WSJ ran with a headline that even sort of implies Autumn Radtke committed suicide, instead using adjectives like "mysterious" and “unexplained” to describe her defenestration from a Singaporean high rise and subsequent demise.
one of the last people to see #AutumnRadtke alive was Steve Beauregard, chief executive and founder (with #BrockPierce) of #Singapore based GoCoin.
3/ btw if anyone is curious why i’m asserting that brock pierce, autumn radtke, and isabel maxwell were friends / already part of the same social group before Epstein invited Brock to speak at his conference and then Autumn "fell" out of that 25th story window, this is why:
