"Since getting re-elected in Nov., Trump has repeatedly called for Canada to join the US as the 51st state but has said he wants to use economic, not military force, to make that happen"
“After we destroy their economy their will to resist will erode. We will then march in unopposed & deliver Canada to its rightful place as a territory of the U.S. with no political representation.”

New year, new big art thread! The place for my almost-daily posts featuring art I love, usually modern and contemporary since that's my thing! First up:
Paintings by American artist Lynne Drexler, 1960s, who studied under Hans Hofmann and Robert Motherwell and was associated with second-gen Abstract Expressionism, but her work was overshadowed by her (then) more successful husband, artist John Hultberg.
When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».
The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.
B for the effort, but please editors do better!

"Parrots were used in Moving Pictures to add sound to movies. This failed miserably, in part because the handlemen (cameramen) taught them to say things like "show us your knickers"... and the Discworld wasn't *quite* ready for films like that (yet)."

Sweary self compassion reminders...
For me today, self compassion looks like Futurama, rest, letting myself cry, and trying to be OK with being exhausted, "useless", and emotional.
It's hard. Fucking hard. But slowly getting easier.

The U.S. Is Not Ready for Bird Flu in Humans
Bird flu is infecting more people than we think. We need to stop it now before a new pandemic begins
Right after President Donald Trump took office, amid the flurry of executive orders and agency upheavals, the administration told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention not to release any reports or communications until one of Trump’s people could take a look at them. Among the many reports not released that week was a study on how many veterinarians had gotten bird flu.
And it's getting LESS ready by the day. Over 1,200 CDC epidemic-focused staff, researchers and post-docs, have been laid off now. Because, reasons...

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:

Bringing Quote Posts to Mastodon
Sharing our thinking and progress on bringing Quote Posts to Mastodon, with a goal to create a safe and respectful space for everyone.Mastodon Blog
I'd rather we have something like the ability to share a post but with a pointer to a reply. So it looks like a QP but only to your followers. To everyone else, it is a reply. And this means it stays attached but subservient to the OP.
I'd also like to see all replies rankable ala reddit. This would give us something like Community Notes, where the top responses are show up right under the OP. And the worst stuff for popular posts would be easily ignored.
I assume you'd still be able to link to a post, it just wouldn't show up like a QP. You'd still be able to do what you do now when QPs don't exist on mastodon.

@🌸 lily 🏳️⚧️ θΔ ⋐ & ∞ @φ @win Thank you, I am well aware of that. I am a developer. What I was trying to explain to you is that as @φ @win mentioned they could see the changes that the schemes caused to the tags, and you could not. So they are obviously using a client that uses a webview. So the css propagates. You are likely not using a client that uses a webview, or the webview in your client supplies its own css.
This is not uncommon at all.
Now, as I mentioned, of course the transport does not use css. That is not were the view is established or maintained.
Now anything that I view from other sources on my view will only be rendered against my theme. Though this obviously was not the case for the akkoma client being used by the person that asked me why the tags looked like that. The only thing that makes the tags look like that is the css files in the scheme I added.

thing2. how can you run that? don't you need authorised fetch?
i think we're just misunderstanding each other. i thought we were talking about css files on your server that style the posts.
On the other hand you could use a gtkview, or the Qt equivalent, that would parse the html and css
you wouldn't need to. there's no point loading the entire frontend just to parse a post when you can use the api
The other thing that gets me is that if it was a friendica the gtkview idea could make sense though why would a akkoma client be using the friendica api?
it's not, it's using its own api. it could be that akkoma's html sanitiser just left the html that your server federated pretty much as is, whereas misskey's did something more drastic to it (i haven't seen you use post formatting, i'm not sure what it would do in that case)

@🌸 lily 🏳️⚧️ θΔ ⋐ & ∞ @φ @win Well over my weekend (which is Saturday to next Tuesday) I will be looking more at the code base and api. If I find anything interesting I will bounce it off you ;).

@🌸 lily 🏳️⚧️ θΔ ⋐ & ∞ @φ @win I just got off a 12 hour shift that I have a 1 hour (one way) commute to. So forgive me if I am doing a horrible job of explaining what I mean. I am exhausted, so I am going to get some rack.

Every time I log into Fedi, I see another post with a guide called something like "Activist's Guide to Smartphones" or "Phone Security Guide for Protesters," and every single one of these assumes that the threat model is the kind of police force that exists under liberal democracy where the law will afford significant protections to protesters. The world is changing, and these guides not only fail to address the threat of an actively hostile fascistic anti-democratic occupying force (I refer here to the police), but such guides generally are limited to "what" and "how" but miss the more critical "why."
If you believe that you are facing fascism (or even something close to it), can I please please please convince you to read something written by anarchists who have faced serious repression and are trying to convey just how much phones can lead to the imprisonment of you and your friends for even things that are allegedly "legal."

Happy Valentines Day to everyone on Fedi. I want you to know that I love you all in a deeply weird and sexy way. Let's get married and run away together and live on an island and feed each other coconuts. Or hide in an abandoned library and read long lost moss-covered books to one another. I hope you are better than TERRIFIC today and am beaming you all the very best. You can't avoid it I'm afraid. It'll find you and it's going to get you. Hurrah!

Hahaha. Shelly you know it's meant figuratively and always gives me a little laugh to say stuff like that. But I am full of love and light for everyone here and I would whisk you all (AND JONATHAN) away to live in paradise if I could. Given the wealth of some of those guys we hear so much about I would create a real actual Fediverse. An archipelago - perhaps the Hawaiian Archipelago - of 137 'instances', with a complex series of bridges built between them depending on who they choose to federate with. And we'd all live happily ever after, free from the shackles of capitalism and the horrors of humanity. Hooray!
