Me neither, but it may be educational to study the history of the anti-suffrage movement.

The leaders in the US were Mrs. George Phillips, Mrs. K.B. Lapham, Miss Burnham, Mrs. Evertt P. Wheeler, and Mrs. John A. Church.

Hey @creativecommons, how’s this for a CC signal for AI, you clowns?

ProTip: When you see that a cat is preparing to jump onto your lap, DO NOT MOVE. Any movement may disrupt the complex calculations being performed by the feline's inertial navigation system, potentially causing significant launch, trajectory, and/or landing errors. Disruption of these calculations can trigger the automatic deployment of the feline's emergency grappling and braking system, which has been known to frequently cause pain, bleeding, and other damage to the landing platform.

SO DON'T MOVE!

After much turmoil, the NATO alliance spent an entire day rubbing Trump’s ego, literally calling him “Daddy”, and praising his war with Iran, and now it looks like Ukraine may get the US made Patriot air defence missiles after all.

It is like watching parents convince toddlers to eat their meal by pretending it is a train going into their mouthes. Choo-choo! 🚂

When they write the history books, future generations will struggle to believe the time we live in.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer, Yves Giroux, has stated that Prime Minister Mark Carney's spending promises, including tax cuts and defence spending, will necessitate significant cuts to the public service to be balanced.

In the last fiscal year, the federal public service shrunk by almost 10,000 workers, and Giroux did not see major cuts to the public service in the current main estimates.

How long for Starmer? taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… How long will it be before Starmer is forced out as Labour leader? Not long, and the timescales are getting ever shorter.

@pluralistic : "After generations of increasingly oligarch-friendly policies and billionaire entryism into the Democratic Party, America may well be cooked, a total write-off for generations to come. The path to saving the world and our species arguably lies through strengthening other countries to resist American psychos and protect the planet from the consequences of their brainwormed leadership."

Das Wirtschaftsmagazin SurPlus probiert offenbar eine neue Form von Bezahlschranken-Perfiderie aus: die "verlängerte Anfixung". Gerade las ich dort einen Artikel, las und las, gefühlt schon etliche Minuten, auch weil der Text durchaus anspruchsvoll war, bis plötzlich doch noch die Abblende kam mit dem freundlichen Hinweis aufs Probe-Abo. Ich weiß noch nicht so recht, ob ich mich darüber freuen soll, immerhin so viel lesen zu dürfen, oder ob ich mich ärgern soll, so viel Zeit zu investieren, um am Ende doch nur verarscht zu werden 😉
in reply to Stefan Münz

@StefanMuenz, es ist natürlich legitim, das Publikationen ein Einkommen generieren, aber Paywalls sind meiner Meinung nach nicht der richtige Weg.

Die bessere Lösung wäre die häufigen Leser auf ein Abo anzusprechen, was man ja technisch gut bewerkstelligen könnte.
Es erscheinen so viele Artikel in verschiedenen Seiten im Netz, das es für einen Benutzer einfach unzumutbar ist bei jeder ein Abo zu erstellen, wenn er sie nur gelegentlich, einem Link folgend oder zufällig benutzt, besonders wenn der Artikel in anderen Seiten frei verfügbar ist.

Dann kommen eben diese Paywall blocker ins Spiel, was eigentlich auch nicht so ganz richtig ist, höchstens de zuletzt genannte, der auf die originalen Veröffentlichungen umleitet, sofern sie existieren.

Ich benutze Andisearch, eine Suchmaschine mit KI assistent um direkt Notizen und Artikel in anderen Seiten zu finden, wenn ich auf ein Paywall in einer stosse. Ein Abo bei einer einfachen, oft wichtigen Info, besonders heutzutage in Politik, ist für mich ein No-Go. Dark Pattern sind nicht der richtige Weg

in reply to CattleBaron

@CattleBaron I heard a story about this yesterday. The Dems want him to run again because he is good at fundraising, and their base loves him (former educator = commie libtard) in addition to having no one else on their bench to take his place. He’s like Biden, a brain dead lump that can be pushed around by the prog-lib special interests.

Problem is that his act is wearing thin with the indie voters.

in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

@CattleBaron I’m not sure it matters much though. Because the state has seen an exodus of conservative voters over the last 4-6 years to states like FL, TN, and AZ leaving us with a majority lib population. And don’t get me started on the election shenanigans they’ve been pulling here since 2018. I am actually convinced the DNC used WI as a test market in 2018 for what they did in 2020 to get Biden elected.

The Palestinians of Ras Ain al-Ouja are the latest Bedouin community targeted for expulsion by Israel. They are being forced out through violent settler harassment as part of Israel’s plan to annex most of the West Bank.

The global ocean conveyor belt

At the Living Planet Symposium, attendees have been hearing how ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Mission could provide the first opportunity to directly track a vital ocean circulation system that warms our planet – but is now weakening, risking a possible collapse with far-reaching consequences.

Boeing and Airbus in a tizzy as C929 flawlessly completes 12,000km test flight

China's newest wide-body jet, the C929, is now officially airborne and ready to challenge the decades-long dominance of Boeing and Airbus.
Developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC, the C929 is not just an airplane—it's a testament to China's shift away from the West.

I'm of the belief that to be revolutionary, in a personal or institutional sense, one needs to completely walk away from... reject...untenable systems.. not mimick them. But that's just me. I live in an area where it's literally impossible to live a 'normal life' without a car, and as a revolutionary planet saving act haven't owned one for 30 years now. Not everyone can do that, but everyone can do something. Otoh China seems to be literally coercing it citizens into a technocracy

DWEP technical update


Just added #brotli compression to the #DWEP PWA web app. It can compress javascript by 80-90%. So using this significantly reduces the need of minifying #javascript. And if minifying is avoided then the app is more transparent since the user can see the actual code that is being run

This line can be used (for example in a CI file) to create brotli-compressed files: find public -type f -regex '.*\.\(htm\|html\|xml\|txt\|text\|js\|css\|svg\|md\)$' -exec brotli -f -k {} \;

PNG is back!
After 20 years, PNG is back with renewed vigor! A new PNG spec was just released. Jokes aside, this is exciting news. PNG is back to its former glory after its progress stalled for over two decades. Did you know the U.S. Library of Congress, Library and Archives Canada, and the National Archives of Australia recommend PNG? It is important that we keep PNG current and competitive. After 20 years of stagnation, PNG is back with renewed vigor!

Elokapina osoitti eilen mieltä Tampereen Naistenlahden voimalaitoksen edustalla. Osana mielenosoitusta laitoksen sisäänajoväylät blokattiin. Jostain kumman syystä poliisi päätti itse sulkea alueen ohi vievän Kekkosenkadun kevyen liikenteen väylän. Näin itse, kun he käännyttivät väkeä pois ks. väylältä, eivätkä päästäneet kulkemaan läpi. Elokapinassa ei luonnollisesti blokata kevyen liikenteen väyliä. 2/ 👇

Yle kertoi iltapäivällä uutisessaan (yle.fi/a/74-20169457?utm_sourc…) aivan oikein, että poliisi oli sulkenut kevyen liikenteen väyliä. Uutisen jälkeen Sisä-Suomen poliisi kiirehti tiedottamaan (poliisi.fi/-/tampereella-on-ka…), että poliisi ei olisi sulkenut kevyen liikenteen väyliä. Yle ”oikaisi” pian oman juttunsa tämän tiedotteen myötä. 3/ 👇
