I decided to make a new Facebook account to try and get in touch with some foreign friends that I really don't want to lose contact with.
This is new.
I'm guessing this is Facebook's way of gearing up for the new Australian social media laws.
The Australian government wants to have facial ID mandated as age verification for all social media.
The laws already passed months ago but they don't go into effect until December.
At which point it becomes illegal for 16 year olds and under to use anything considered social media. Even YouTube.
Whole point is to force people to accept the #digitalid
I'm sure the age restriction for social media will end up getting lifted, months after going into effect, once a large enough number of people get logged out of all their social media and get a pop up telling them to sign up for digital id, and they will because it'll be soooooo convenient.

This was a busy month, with ~80 pull requests merged, as we're trying to get all the breaking changes we can added before the 1.0 release.
The release is still several months away, as even after finishing up the rest of the 1.0 milestone issues, we still have to add this new functionality to Lemmy-UI and Jerboa, and do extensive testing.
Here are some of the major changes made over the past month:

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

Elon don't understand modern politics
RT: minds.com/api/activitypub/user…
By speaking a second language, we can even become more rational, more open-minded and better equipped to deal with uncertainty. This phenomenon is known as the “foreign language effect” and the benefits may be an inspiration for anyone who would like to enrich their mind with the words of another tongue.
source: theguardian.com/science/2023/s…
You react more emotionally in your mother tongue because you learned this language as a child together with many emotions that you experienced as a child. You usually learn a foreign language at school where it is not about emotions and very often more about pressure. As a result, you are often much colder and more rational when making decisions in a foreign language.
In most NATO countries, English is the second language and negotiations between NATO members are conducted in English. This allows the participants to make cold rational decisions and their emotions are left out. A bad combination when it comes to establishing a peaceful world order.

We don't need solar. Nuclear is better in every way if it's managed correctly.
Batteries still suck for vehicles, and they will never be as energy-dense as gasoline. They are heavy (causing damage to roads), hard to produce (generally requires slave labor of African kids in cobalt/lithium mines to get the "affordable" price), hard to recycle, and horrible for the environment.
Most subsidies to EV/battery companies end up being fraudulently wasted anyway, and I don't think Elon is an exception, though he's not nearly as bad a case as the other Obama-era renewable companies.
We've been dealing with renewable energy corruption for like 15 years now. If it was economically viable without being propped up by the government, we'd know by now. It's time to look elsewhere.
A "dirty" #USA plan
A new report by #US think tank #RANDCorporation, one of #Pentagon main consultants, reveals the deeper strategic aspirations of the US in Ukraine.
Under the title "The Consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War" the study reveals that #Washington's goal is not to support #Ukraine, but to break the relations between #Russia, #Europe and #China, strengthen #NATO and maintain US supremacy.
Imagine all #EU 🤡 morons who have been regurgitating western propaganda for 3 years.
This matters because I remember reading one of their big reports from 2019 called "Extending Russia" that outlined pretty clearly the perceived military and power advantages for the US, with a larger war and how interrupting operation of the Nord stream pipeline was a priority in terms of keeping Europe under the thumb for years to come.
It also outlined how extending Russia on their border will temporarily free up the middle east to expand US influence. It's all in there.

After the #Microsoft frenzy last week and the #Apple disaster yesterday, on today's menu is the @EUCommission #DMA compliance workshop with #Alphabet #Google.
What should I do?
Okay thank you all, it looks like I'm gonna live toot at least the juicy stuff 😀
Interestingly, the Commission introductory talk included a reference to how the fact that #Android is essentially #opensource software facilitates #DMA compliance. 😍
(Which does of course not mean there is no non-compliance in Alphabet products, there certainly is.)
Yay #Google goes full in, claiming the #DMA would make Europeans "second class citizens" on Android 😆
And they do the same thing #Apple did yesterday: counting the number of meetings with regulators and other stakeholders in n attempt of proving good will. Still think this rather raises the question how the heck Google can still be non-compliant after all that engagement. 🤷🏼♂️
Hmmm, so #Google lobbyists claim "All apps on Android can be uninstalled" but from my testing on #Android 16 with all latest updates on a #Pixel this appears to be false.
Google's own #DMA compliance report from March 2025 says this is wrong:
"Android allows to uninstall apps by: (i) fully deleting apps that are downloaded or pre-installed in the user partition; and (ii) uninstalling apps in the system partition such that they are returned into an uninstalled state."

Honestly at this point they should just get #Netanyahu his own room in the White House and a desk in the Oval Office.The prime minister of #Israel is taking his third trip to the White House in the five months since Trump has been back in office. I have immediate blood family members who I love with all my heart and visit less often than this.
This comes as the #Trump administration revokes the #US visas of British punk rap duo Bob Vylan ahead of a US tour for chanting “Death, death to the #IDF” at a concert in the #UK. Trump’s sycophantic supporters who spent years complaining that their free speech rights were under assault appear fine with their government deciding what words Americans are allowed to hear in their own country.
This also comes as Trump actively intervenes in the Israeli judicial system to prevent Netanyahu’s corruption trial from moving forward.
The president has repeatedly taken to social media to demand that Israel abandon its corruption case against the prime minister, at one point even implying that the US could cut off arms supplies if his trial isn’t canceled.
“The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel,” Trump said. “We are not going to stand for this. We just had a Great Victory with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm — And this greatly tarnishes our Victory. LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!”
It’s so revealing what the US government is and is not willing to threaten conditioning military supplies on, and what it’s willing to interfere in Israel’s affairs to accomplish.
Ever since the #Gaza holocaust began we’ve been hearing lines like “Israel is a sovereign country” and “Israel is a sovereign state that makes its own decisions” when reporters ask why the White House doesn’t leverage arms shipments to demand more humanitarian treatment for civilians in the Gaza Strip. But the president of the United States is willing to leverage those same arms shipments to directly interfere in Israeli legal proceedings which have nothing to do with the US government in order to get Netanyahu out of trouble. ....

"Prior to 1933, Jews in Germany were full citizens, protected by the Constitution of 1919. That changed after Hitler came to power. A law passed in 1933 authorized the denaturalization of East European Jews who had become German citizens since World War I and Jews who had already fled from Germany. The laws were vague."

Although, we certainly won't reach that goal, because there's a two business day delay between the time a donation is made and the time that it is deposited into our account, if you give generously today, when is deposited in our account on Monday, that will get August's fundraiser of to a quick start.

The following experiment was carried out by scientists. A group of monkeys were given coins and taught to exchange them for grapes. The monkeys understood this and exchanged their coins for grapes. When the price was high they only bought a few grapes and when the price went down they bought more. After a while, however, the males kept back some coins and collected them. They then gave these coins to the females and let's just say the females were very friendly to the males in return. The females in turn bought grapes in return. So the monkeys understood the money and service cycle.
However, the Ethics Council, which supervised the experiment, also prohibited its continuation at the time. The reason given was that the money cycle destroys the social structure of the monkeys.
I have to say how lucky we are that we have banned the monkeys from using money.

The problem is contests.
A contest is an activity that includes
- score-keeping
- winners and losers
- rules that can't be changed whenever participants happen to feel like changing them
- some combination of the above
Money turns life into a contest. Money is the score-keeping.
Children should be discouraged from participating in contests. Instead of something like football, children should ride bicycles or ski. No contest involved. (Yes, you can turn these healthy, enjoyable activities into a contest, but you don't have to.) If pressured to compete in contests, children should be encouraged to forfeit.
