CV NEWS FEED // An unidentified hero destroyed a statue of Baphomet–the symbol of the Church of Satan– set up as a “holiday display” outside of the Statehouse in Concord, New Hampshire.
The Post Millennial reports that the Satanic Temple, which is based in Salem, Massachusetts, placed the statue near a Nativity scene outside the Statehouse, and the officials allowed the display to “avoid litigation.”

How about a nice #sudoku game for #plasmamobile, nice with #kirigami ui, using your plasma theme? It is of course very much in prototyping stage, everything is qml - no backend - but it is actually possible to play it even if there is no checking - let alone fanphares - if you finsh a game ... 
Next step is adding support for pencilmarks, which is likey tricky.
I'm fully focused on mobile behavior, but it can of course be made to work nicely in desktop as well ...

Scripture Reading
Romans 13:11-12
You know ‘the time’ has come: you must wake up now: our salvation is even nearer than it was when we were converted. The night is almost over, it will be daylight soon – let us give up all the things we prefer to do under cover of the dark; let us arm ourselves and appear in the light.
Well, that was easy :) Looks like Kitten¹ is going to be a great way to build and deploy Penpot Plugins.
Took me no time at all to port Kitten Kawaii² to a Penpot³ plugin. All in all, had to write 10 lines of extra code.
Might enter this in the plugin contest⁴ that’s going on and write something up about it next.

One of the advantages of deploying Kitten sites/apps is that you can set up a webhook URL in your source code repository so that every time you push to your main branch, you app automatically updates.
(This is a feature for developers. For everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing, Kitten sites deployed via Domain will automatically update based on a versioning system that ensures API stability between the app and Kitten so that sites don’t break. Kitten itself also auto-updates.)
@jubei Sure, here you go:
(The documentation is a work-in-progress. I’m working on a comprehensive technical manual as we speak.) :)
@ctietze Thanks. It’s pretty simple, really:
On the Codeberg/Forgejo side, they use git hooks to make a HTTPS request to the webhook URL whenever there’s a push (in this case, only to the main branch).
On the Kitten side, Kitten deploys apps from their git repositories so all it has to do is pull in the latest changes.
This is the webhook code on the Kitten side of things:

If you actually want to advocate for Long COVID, you have to tell the story of the 90% of Long COVID cases that look like something else.
Did you suddenly get diabetes type I after a COVID case? Probably caused by COVID. Did you suddenly get high blood pressure after never having it before? Probably COVID. Did your ADHD get so much worse you had to completely change and increase your medication? COVID. Did you fall into a deep depression? Did you find yourself having a temper? COVID COVID.
Alcohol intolerance? COVID.
Caffeine intolerance? COVID.
Arthritis at 30? COVID.
Interstitial cystitis, esp in men? Absolutely COVID.
Sudden IBS/IBD after a lifetime of no gut problems? That's COVID.
Celiac's disease at mid-life? Probably COVID.
The destruction of health by tiny degrees, by hammer blows of infection, each of which knock something else just a little out of alignment. It's gonna flower soon, and all of a sudden.
Thought experiment:
Your friend who is SURE that they "would have heard about it" if COVID was causing all this stuff, passes a billboard that says
Can't drink alcohol anymore?
Looks like Long COVID.
and comes up to you and says "you know how alcohol has been hitting me super hard lately and making me feel really sick for days? Do you think that could be a form of Long COVID?"
Boom. Step one to reversing the gaslighting of America.

Justice is coming to thousands upon thousands for their corruption, crimes against humanity, treason, child & sex trafficking, drug trafficking, & other heinous crimes, it is best we get our terminology right.
Jail & prison are often used interchangeably as places of confinement. If you want to be specific jail can be used to describe a place for those awaiting trial or held for minor crimes, whereas prison describes a place for criminals convicted of serious crimes.

Liebe Spenderinnen und Spender, liebe Freundinnen und Freunde,
Millionen Syrerinnen und Syrer wagten nicht mehr davon zu träumen und nun ist es innerhalb weniger Tage geschehen: Das verhasste, barbarische Assad-Regime ist wie ein Kartenhaus in sich zusammengestürzt. Wir blicken in die strahlenden Gesichter der syrischen Familien, die es noch immer kaum glauben können. „Das ist der schönste Moment in meinem Leben!" sagt Mo. „Nach langen Jahren der Erniedrigung, Angst, Unterdrückung, Hunger und Vertreibung hat das syrische Volk endlich seine Freiheit erlangt. Ich hoffe, dass die kommenden Tage Stabilität und Hoffnung für die kommenden Generationen bringen", wünscht sich Asmaa.
In die große Freude über den Sturz Assads mischt sich allerdings schon jetzt Sorge - vor allem bei denen, die ethnischen oder religiösen Minderheiten angehören: „Hoffentlich wird das Kommende besser!" schreibt Rana, die Angst um ihre christlichen Verwandten hat, aber auch unter den Menschen kurdischer Herkunft ist die Sorge um ihre Verwandten groß. Alle Hoffnungen richten sich nun darauf, dass es den unterschiedlichen politischen und religiösen Kräften im Land gelingt, nicht nur für Stabilität zu sorgen, sondern auch ein freies, gerechtes und gleichberechtigtes Syrien aufzubauen. Das Fenster in eine solche Zukunft ist nun zumindest aufgestoßen. Es bleibt abzuwarten, was sich daraus entwickelt, denn kaum ein Land im Nahen Osten ist durch eine vergleichbare Vielfältigkeit an verschiedenen Gruppen geprägt. Die unterschiedlichen Interessen und Kriegserfahrungen in einer umsichtigen Politik zu bündeln, ist eine Herkulesaufgabe mit ungewissem Ausgang.
Für uns Flüchtlingspaten bedeutet die momentane Lage in #Syrien ebenfalls erst einmal abzuwarten und zu schauen, wie sich die Situation - besonders in humanitärer Hinsicht - entwickelt. Aber auch die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für unsere Arbeit hier in Deutschland stehen auf der Kippe: Nachdem das Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF) überraschend schnell mitgeteilt hat, die Entscheidung über alle ausstehenden Asylanträge von Menschen aus Syrien auszusetzen, steht zu befürchten, dass auch das Landesaufnahmeprogramm Berlin, auf dessen rechtlicher Basis wir arbeiten, nicht verlängert wird. Ab dem 1. Januar 2025 würde dann die Rechtsgrundlage für den Familiennachzug über Verpflichtungserklärungen fehlen.
Unsere Arbeit hat sich mit Assads Sturz alles andere als erledigt. Wer uns kennt, weiß, dass wir mit jeder Verpflichtungserklärung finanzielle Verantwortung übernehmen. Die letzten Familiennachzüge haben wir im Februar 2024 zugesagt. Bis heute sind diese Menschen noch nicht in Berlin angekommen, da das Verfahren immer weiter in die Länge zieht. Für insgesamt 70 Menschen tragen wir daher weiterhin die Verantwortung. Sie endet erst nach Ablauf der jeweiligen Verpflichtungserklärung 5 Jahre nach der Einreise.
Eindringlich möchten wir deshalb dafür werben, die Spenden an unseren Verein nicht einzustellen. Denn unsere finanzielle Verantwortung tragen wir natürlich weiter!
Gerade mit Blick auf einen möglichen Wiederaufbau in Syrien erscheint es perspektivisch wichtig, die Menschen hier in ihren Qualifikationsbemühungen zu unterstützen und diejenigen, die sich hier eingelebt haben fit für den Arbeitsmarkt zu machen. Auch diese Aufgaben bleiben von der augenblicklichen Lage in Syrien erst einmal unberührt.
Darüber, wie es ab dem kommenden Jahr weitergeht, werden wir informieren, sobald die Lage mehr Klarheit zulässt.
Nun aber nehmen wir die augenblickliche Freude über das Ende der tyrannischen Herrschaft und die Chance auf ein freies Syrien mit. Wann gab es zuletzt ein solch positives weltpolitisches Ereignis?!
Vielleicht mag die Eine oder der Andere unseren untenstehenden Spendenlink in der Weihnachtszeit mit Freundinnen und Freunden teilen. Für uns wäre das ein großes Geschenk, um diejenigen Kündigungen von Spenden, die uns in den letzten Tagen erreichten, auszugleichen.
In diesem Sinne wünschen wir Ihnen und Euch friedliche und erholsame Weihnachtstage und alles, alles Gute für das neue Jahr.
Ihre / Eure
Katrin Albrecht, Tina Mede, Remo Klinger, Charlotte Dreyer

@pna@fed.dyne.org Imagine all the extra energy and electricity that's going to use as millions of clients have to process those requests (generating new private keys and submitting the CSRs via ACME to Let's Encrypt.) Not to mention all the extra energy in the extra data and banwidth that needs to be process and deliver all those requests and transactions. Then there's the added electricity and bandwidth Let's Encrypt's own PKI infrastructure needs to process and issue all those certificates. They are talking about a 1400% increase in traffic and requests. It probably means a whole lot more servers, HSMs, networking, etc. All consuming electricity. Here we are worried about the environmental impact of AI, but there is a tangible environmental impact to certificates with 6 day life cycles, too.

In the contentious fight over the heavily criticized chat control regulation (a proposed EU law that could undermine all encrypted online communication to allow authorities to read online chats), the European Commission has identified the Netherlands as a Member State that they wanted to influence politically. In an attempt to "flip" the views in the Netherlands, the Commission went to X/Twitter and made postings indirectly promoting this Regulation."

😆 The no virus crew is working hard to stay relevant.
Niel Oliver points out it's much more important to focus on what they did in the name of the virus than whether one exists or where it came from.
I mean... What's more important? Whether a special molecule with special properties exists or not or the response to the idea that it exists which caused a lot of deaths (by murder)? 🤔
So they inject David Icke to refocus again on the importance of whether the virus exists but not on why it matters. 🤔
Anyhow probably only worth skimming (like what I did).

A couple of weeks ago I posted about VintaGlo mini Christmas lights, which I had to pre-order for next year. I also ordered a (very) small set of these Tru-Tone C7 bulbs. My God are these amazing. The photo doesn't do them justice. They're manufactured just like incandescent bulbs, only with a white LED filament inside. The result is perfect. They're pretty pricey, my 10 bulb set was $30 + $15 shipping. But I am very happy with them.
Superior LED Christmas lights with the same bright, warm glow as vintage incandescent! Nostalgic, retro charm in C7 & C9 & S14 bulb sizes and a variety of classic colors and styles.Tru-Tone
