A Victorian arcade in Worthing, England. There is a wrought iron and glass skylight, allowing light to stream into the arcade, which is a long, curving walkway with shopfronts on either side. The floor is black and white tiles in a geometric pattern. The shop fronts are glass and wood painted in whites and pale blues. There is multicoloured bunting hanging across the walkway, giving colour to an otherwise muted scene

Sure, because promoting a taxpayer-backed cryptocurrency reserve is a great idea. The Grifter in Chief is at it again, tackling our most pressing societal issues.

Guess Trump's crypto supporters just needed him to juice the market a bit. Cool cool.
Google's bitcoin chart shows nearly a 10 percent increase in the value of bitcoin, immediately after President Trump posted on Truth Social that he was committed to the idea of a national crypto reserve.

A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat. The cat's tail is raised in a curved shape. Happy Tuxedo Cat is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

Yesterday I figured I'd try setting up something I could use to work with my critique group. I was looking for collaborative editing, chat, etc. Nextcloud looked like a good candidate, so I gave it a go.

Well, Nextcloud is obviously designed to be an enterprise solution. That thing repeatedly hammered my poor little VPS into the ground on the simplest of operations. I took it out and restored Mattermost, which is great for chatting with a curated group and some other Slack-like tasks, but doesn't support collaborative editing.

The search continues.

Sometimes the question comes up if we have any DNS servers to point at. The answer is no, we only do authoritative DNS (for now anyways :neocat_3c:).

There are multiple other projects that do recursive DNS in the EU or based out of the EU though, like

John Cleese & Jul 13, 2018 โ€ข โ‚ฌ My American friends are asking me about President Trumps's observation that the British 'like him' I regret this is quite unfounded The explanation for this canard is that Trump is pronoid Pronoid is the opposite of paranoid. A paranoid person thinks, without any basis in reality, that everybody is out to get them. A pronoid person is someone who thinks, without any basis in reality, that everybody likes them The fact is that the British loathe Donald Trump This is because he is the polar opposite of a 'Gentleman', who has qualities the British admire. A fine example is Gareth Southgate To the British, a ' Gentleman ' is a man who is modest, well-mannered, self deprecating, quietly intelligent, considerate of other people's feeling, and well-informed. He is not vulgar, inflated, vain, boastful, noisily ignorant, sleazy and common as muck I hope this clears up any confusion

I just went down a bit of a rabbithole starting on YouTube, and I'm currently asking ChatGPT about the same thing. I use the same Google account to log into both. When YouTube starts recommending me more videos related to that, which inevitably it's about to, where is it getting that data from: itself or ChatGPT? ๐Ÿค”

OpenAI can be selling all your data to advertising companies like Google to make some extra bucks. Especially when this data doesn't enhance chatgpt's competition.

@jade It is funny, when Gnome was initially released in 1999 as an Open Source Alternative to KDE (which had just released in 1998) I was not impressed. It was lack luster and was missing a lot of features that I thought I wanted. Later on I decided that having all those features I never used was not so great. I have been using Gnome as my preferred Desktop Environment for decades now. I have tried many others and really am not impressed. I am not likely to change DE anytime soon.

A young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a gray knit beanie with a pom-pom and a blue and yellow Ukrainian flag draped over her shoulders, stands in a public space at night holding a protest sign. The sign reads: 'RUSSIA CAN STOP THE WAR ANYTIME BY LEAVING UKRAINIAN LAND.' The word 'RUSSIA' is stylized with dripping red paint, resembling blood, and the words 'UKRAINIAN LAND' are highlighted in blue and yellow. Her expression is solemn and determined. Behind her, neon lights and blurred city buildings suggest an urban setting, possibly a well-known square or gathering place.
