I don't really care about images on here all that much ... I don't mind them being lost if I lose my instance.
Most of the images that are shared are basically 'one off' images for a quick gag or as part of a conversation specific to that moment. And often that conversation or interact is a 'one off' event as well. Which means it was all meaningful when it happened and when it was read the few times it was noticed over two or three years but then it is forgotten.
If there is anything meaningful I come across that I think is important to me or something I want to keep a reference of or keep ... I'll save it or screenshot it and put it away in my own storage or data.
Otherwise, I really don't mind losing all those other images I had created over the years ... they already did their work when people saw them at that moment.
The only reason anyone would want to keep all that data is to archive it for historical reasons .... or to monetize it by collecting a bunch of unique data, images connected to real people.

Fellow #Fosstodon people, where did you migrate to?
It's quite sad to lose the history of content in the process, but I'd like to at least be sure that our new home will stay online for the years to come, and for it to be a relatively "mainstream" safe space for FOSS people.

I'm noticing a pattern starting to develop in the community I mod (just barely -- it's only happened 3 times so far) where a user that posts a fairly large amount of relevant content occasionally posts weird spam with a title of alternating letter nonsense (e.g. "zazaz" or "sdsdsds") and a link that goes to some random domain that serves nothing but a default 404 error (as in the domain is registered and there's a server responding to requests, but there's no content for it to serve).
I suppose it could just be bad behavior on the part of said users, but it feels more like a bug or their account getting hijacked or something. Anybody have any insight?
Two of the three I noticed were from different users (but the other two cases were the same username on different instances, so it's very plausible that they may all be alt accounts of the same human).
You misspelled the instance name, but that's a good thing since pinging the user in question with a mention probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway.
The thing that confuses me is that the user has posted a bunch of other content (both posts and comments) such that the ratio of spam to ham is pretty low, and the writing of the comments seems very human (in terms of the inferences it makes and the idioms it uses), so if it's some kind of repost-bot, it's a very sophisticated one.
It really seems like a legitimate user whose account is getting hijacked to occasionally post gibberish spam, which is why I find it so weird.

I appreciate this piece, but I want to correct the record on one point. I don't talk about LLMs as making "collages" but rather as making papier-mâché, and the difference matters!
When an artist uses materials with text on them to create a collage, it's natural to assume that they chose the materials in part for the meaning of the text they include. Papier-mâché, on the other hand, uses paper (usually newsprint) simply for its physical properties. The text is incidental.
I use this metaphor to highlight, yet again, that LLMs don't work with the meaning of the text they process & extrude -- just the form.

They only pay authors 30% in royalties (even if they price above 2.99) when someone buys a book through Amazon COM while not actually living in the US.
That's right. Amazon "steals" 40% of my royalties because the customer is in a different location that the USA.
Why?
Because they can. Because we authors let them get away with that. No other store does this.

When we released post editing for #Mastodon, we first released a version that supported processing and displaying edits incoming from other servers, before releasing a version that flipped a switch allowing anyone to make edits. We're taking an identical approach with quote posts, as the upcoming 4.4 version of Mastodon will begin displaying quote posts from other servers and software. Once this is widely deployed on the network, 4.5 will bring the long awaited ability to quote posts.

@bifouba Die Aussagen von der Bundesregierung sind wirklich nur noch Gaslighting.
Ich freue mich aber, dass innerhalb der Linkspartei langsam der Wind dreht. Dass sie jetzt die JDA statt die IHRA nehmen und dass nun eben Menschen wie Köktürk im Bundestag sitzen, ist eine gute Entwicklung.
Meinem Eindruck nach liegt das vor allem auch an den jungen Leuten, die neu in der Partei sind und inzwischen so große Mehrheiten bilden, dass sie die Antdeutschen (und die Reformer) überstimmen können.
Looking at some clothing in the archives today. Here's a jumpsuit worn by Thalia Campbell on the 1981 march from Wales to Greenham Common in protest at proposal to site cruise missiles at the US army base. She dyed it purple, inspired by the colours of the women's suffrage movement.

People reach for Hitler analogies to describe Trump, because Hitler is what we all learn about in school. But there are other historical analogues that might be a closer fit, and Louis Napoleon is definitely a good one.
"The Eighteenth Brumaire focuses on the 1851 French coup d'état, by which Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, president of the Second Republic and Napoléon Bonaparte's nephew, became emperor of the Second French Empire as Napoleon III. It seeks to explain how capitalism and class struggle created conditions which enabled 'a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero's part'."
now I'm just wondering what Roman emperor is a good analogy for trump. He's not really a Commodus or a Caligula, is he? Is he like one of the forgettable crisis of the third century emperors who just kept debasing the currency?
Israel's defense exports jumped over 13% in 2024 to $14.8 billion, even as overall Israeli exports contracted 5.6%. The defense sector now represents nearly 25% of Israel's goods exports and approaching 10% of total exports.
Europe became the dominant market, accounting for 54% of defense exports (up from 35% in 2023) as countries increased military spending amid the Ukraine war. Air defense systems, missiles and rockets comprised 48% of exports, with Israeli technology proving effective against drone and missile threats.
However, industry sources report that images from #Gaza are complicating deal closures. #Spain recently froze a nearly $300 million Spike missile deal due to the situation in Gaza. Defense companies face parliamentary opposition in European countries and competitors using the Gaza war to discourage purchases of Israeli systems.
Sales to Abraham Accords countries reached $1.8 billion (12% of total exports), while Asian exports dropped from $6.3 billion to $3.4 billion due to major 2023 deals with India and Azerbaijan not repeating.

#Palestine / 12 countries condemn forced displacement of Palestinian village in occupied West Bank
Diplomatic missions from #UK, #Germany, #France and 9 other nations issued joint statement expressing solidarity with residents of Mughayir a-Deir who were forced to abandon homes due to settler violence and Israeli authorities' failure to provide protection.
As has been common practice for years, Israeli settlers established an outpost meters from a Palestinian village. The community was forced to flee after escalating violence and threats. Seven neighboring communities have already been displaced following the same pattern. Tens of thousands in Area C face "high or imminent risk" of forcible transfer.
These countries demand Israel dismantle the outpost and allow safe return. They call this a violation of international law and demand Israel respect the prohibition on forcible transfer.
**JOINT PRESS STATEMENT** **WEST BANK, JUNE 2025**
**DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN MUGHAYIR A-DEIR**
The undersigned diplomatic missions express their strong solidarity with the Palestinian community of Mughayir a-Deir. The community's long-standing residents were recently forced to abandon their homes and belongings due to escalating settler violence and a prevailing climate of impunity.
Israeli settlers have established an outpost just metres from the community, which is a clear violation of international law. Mughayir a-Deir was one of the last remaining Palestinian communities in the area. Seven neighbouring communities have already been displaced amid a broader and deeply troubling pattern of violent settler attacks and a lack of protection by the Israeli authorities.
We therefore urge the Israeli authorities to dismantle the outpost immediately and to take urgent and effective measures to enable the safe return of the displaced residents. It is imperative that the community is protected from further violence and intimidation.
Mughayir a-Deir is not an isolated case—it reflects a broader pattern of displacement in Area C of the West Bank, where a coercive environment marked by repeated settler violence, movement restrictions, land confiscation, demolitions and inadequate access to essential services is making life unbearable and pushing communities to leave. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Area C face a high or imminent risk of forcible transfer. This alarming trend gravely undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace.
We call on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of forcible transfer. We also reaffirm our clear and consistent opposition to settlements, which are illegal under international law. We emphasise Israel's responsibility to protect all Palestinian communities in Area C.

Houthi attacks are forcing major operational changes:
[...] He [Colonel (Res.) Yair Kulas, head of SIBAT - the Defense Export and Defense Cooperation Directorate at Israel's Ministry of Defense] also referred to supply chain challenges: 'The supply chain is challenging due to shipping routes that have been changed under the Houthi threat, Ben Gurion Airport which has been blocked at times due to missile launches. So if we need to be more flexible, we are being flexible. And if there is a demand from the purchasing country for local production on its territory, we establish manufacturing activity there.'"
While Israeli defense companies acknowledge supply chain challenges from Houthi attacks on shipping routes Operation Prosperity Guardian , European naval missions provided free security for Israeli exports. Rather than diverting resources to Red Sea security, Israel can maintain focus on high-value defense production for the European market surge. While European militaries absorb the costs and risks of confronting Houthis and Israeli arms companies profit from the resulting demand.

Just to be clear, when I say that Fedora is the new Ubuntu, I mean that Fedora now occupies the place that Ubuntu used to have in terms of Linux distributions. It's a GOOD thing.
One of the things I really enjoy about using Fedora, is that they push the Linux desktop towards the future. Some call it bleeding edge, but it's not. It's cutting edge: you don't get the absolute latest, but you get the best that's also stable.
Fedora was among the first to adopt Wayland, the first to adopt Pipewire, to push Flatpak, portals, the first mainstream distro to push immutable filesystems in Fedora Silverblue.
This drive towards modern tech was what Ubuntu was doing back in the day: they were implementing the latest versions of GNOME, adopted newly developed programs at the time, like Banshee, or F-Spot, they pushed to have better driver integration, and more software available.
Using Fedora, I got that same excitement I used to get when I was using Ubuntu: every 6 months, there's a new drop of amazing updates. You get more modern technologies, you get improved security, you get new features right as they're being released, and you get that sense of really taking advantage of all that new stuff the Linux community talks about.
Fedora is a "current" distro, which means that you get the latest release of all the interesting stuff, like the desktop environments, the linux kernel, the graphics drivers, or wayland. And they do this without sacrificing stability.
Fedora, in my experience with it, has been rock solid. In general, I didn't have many problems with any Linux distro that I daily drove, but all of them tended to exhibit small issues after a while.
My experience with Fedora has been fantastic thanks to this: Flatpak is wonderfully integrated in the GNOME Software app, it's all a one click install, all updates are handled there, I just never think about my system anymore, I just use it. That peace of mind is something I never truly achieved with any other Linux distro
Another thing I really like is that Fedora has the DEFAULT experience. They ship the desktop as is, without any meaningful extensions, themes, configurations, or tweaks.
It's just productivity central. GNOME, for me, doesn't need anything else than the default experience. It is extremely efficient once you wrap your head around how it works, and providing me with a crutch, like an always visible dock, or desktop icons, would just compromise that productivity.
Moving to Fedora also had me learn a few things, especially how to use dnf. I didn't need to use it, but I wanted to; and since I was a lot more familiar with APT, I had no idea what I was doing.
Turns out, Fedora has a huge community as well, something Ubuntu has had since it began, so it's another checkmark next to my "Fedora is the next Ubuntu" checklist
