Google hat Android 16 in AOSP veröffentlicht – jedoch ohne Quellcode für aktuelle Pixel-Geräte. Ohne Device Trees lässt sich AOSP nicht wie gewohnt auf Pixel-Geräten bauen. Das trifft die gesamte Custom-ROM-Community. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass das kein Versehen ist, sondern eine bewusste Einschränkung von Google – eine klare Schwächung der Offenheit von Android.

Something about to go down in L.A. Big mobilization of LAPD, including armed mounted units and rolling in of the LRAD (Jessica Palmadessa is streaming from near both). Also hear a police copter but with a crowd this size, it's been around generally anyway.

They are prepared for a battle, so they will probably eventually find one, with the size of the crowd today.

Brandenburg hat geschafft woran Deutschland mit Hochdruck arbeitet. Alle Pullfaktoren für Tourismus, Migration oder internationalem Austausch von Fachkräften wurden beseitigt. Als einziges Bundesland leided Brandengurg nicht mehr an illegalem ungeregeltem Massentourismus. Jetzt kann sich die Wirtschaft endlich auf ihre lokalen Stärken konzentrieren: Das Einlegen von Gurken.

Als Teenager in den 90ern habe ich meine Oma zum ersten Mal gefragt, wie das denn war, damals, Nazizeit. Ich hatte irgendwie Angst zu fragen, aber sie hat einfach angefangen zu erzählen, in einem Ernst, den ich bis dahin nicht von ihr kannte. Sie hat mir nicht alles erzählt, aber schon in diesem ersten Gespräch fielen diese Sätze: "Wir haben das irgendwann alle gewusst. Keiner kann erzählen, dass er nichts gewusst hat." Und, vor allem: "Das darf nie wieder passieren."

On #Protest signs

I cannot overstate how important good signage is at these protests. If you keep getting caught with no sign or a hasty sign, now is the time to prep for the next protest. Put some time into it - believe me, people will show their appreciation. Press your family and friends to do the same.

So many older white liberals were raised in respectability politics and are terrified of speaking baldly. This is the NYT 'gotta hear both sides' effect. This is the overintellectualism of upper class liberals, wanting to 'learn all the facts and preserve neutrality'. They are afraid to speak truth and they are learning a painful lesson in their sideline complicity.

Seeing signage that calls a #fascist spade a fascist spade is so important for these reticent people to loosen up and let go of their fear of being 'biased'. We need people to pick a side and the people at protests that are displaying unequivocal denunciations are helping loosen up the minds of people who got rich and comfy in the white suburban 90s and still have cold feet about openly defying a dictator.

Signs are a great way for the protests to grow over time, as bystanders are drawn in by playful, incisive commentary. Its a great way to show that we can be simultaneously angry and have a sense of fun humanity. Its an open invitation to speak truth in a way that our society desperately respresses.

Lean into your craftiness. Learn a new artistic skill. Make it crass and cutting. Make it cutesy and playful. Make it showy and waterproof it. Be clever. Be incisive. Call out the bullshit in a relatable way.

I saw so many signs today that made me laugh and smile and grimace and churn and boil. I was selfishly basking in the compliments and had some great moments of #solidarity. That's truly what I felt today: solidarity with people from completely different backgrounds and that solidarity is so much easier with people who I know exactly where they stand. Complete strangers were much more friendly with me than they usually are because they knew where I stand.

A couple of my favorites:
"Circle jerking is not a means of governance"
"Imagine being more angry about diversity than dictatorship"
"The only kings I want are drag kings"

Explosions were heard in the city of Khorramabad in Lorestan Province, likely the result of a new ’Israeli’ attack on the Imam Ali military base. english.alahednews.news/fastne…

If something sounds too good to be true it probably is. My gut is telling me the laws of physics makes this impossible.

Am I wrong?

I just now saw your original post. Oops.

I think the people that claim any em-dashes have to be the work of AI have never actually used a word processor, let alone have never actually written anything of substance other than a comment on Reddit or a post on 4chan.

Word even will translate "---" into an em-dash. So will other software.

You can easily type an em dash on a Mac keyboard with the Option key.

On Windows I used to use "WinCompose" to easily insert an em dash.

Maybe I'm dating myself here (53) but when I was in high school and learning how to type we were taught there were three common types of dashes.

A "dash" (-). Used for hyphenating words.

An "en dash" (--). Used for a "series":

The 2nd World War occupied the World's consciousness between 1939--1945.


And an "em dash" (---). Used for various typographical purposes.

@gme @BernieDoesIt Yeah, the knowitall I quoted apparently can't tell a hyphen from an en dash, so joke's on them.

I admit em dashes may be stylistically over the top for a 500 character tweet or toot, but they've crept in from my other, longer writing. That's not an apology, just a clarification 🙂

Funnily enough, I find that en and em dashes are more easily available on my (Android) phone keyboard than on physical computer keyboards. Ive had to setup my own shortcuts for them on my laptop.

@gme @BernieDoesIt
Interesting.
In Word, --- on a line by itself is translated to a section separator line going the whole page width.
-- in the middle of a sentence with a letter directly after with no space becomes what I thought was an em-dash. Is it really just an en-dash?
- vs vs
It's hard to tell.
From Word:
Well, dang: it's been an en-dash the whole time.

A passenger flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad on the same Air India aircraft just 2 hours before its next flight. He reports witnessing "unusual things" onboard.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask & refusing to be properly & reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in #Minnesota.

Just arrived downtown. It's packed. Already incomparable to last weekend. Not just a single rally or march but many, in different parts of downtown (in this video, two rallies meet)

I'll be documenting the protest and likely police violence in this thread 👇

We just got back from the #NOKINGS Protest in Cape May Court House, New Jersey, USA (population less than 5,700).

It was thrilling to see the massive turnout! The majority of drivers who went by were extremely supportive as well. It was a wonderful experience.

Thousands gather across Colorado for ‘No Kings’ protest against Trump administration

The gallery is just as responsible for this incident as the tourists.

Who the hell leaves a priceless, crystal, chair, just sitting out on the floor with not even some rope and stanchions to cordon it off for its protection?

I mean, the tourist is an idiot, but the gallery curators are fucking morons!
