The last week I have been in Florida for work. Saturday I got one of the worst calls I have ever had, My Fiancée’s Mother passed away in her sleep suddenly and unexpected. I was able to change my flight to get home early and be with her and it has been a whirlwind.
We have set up a #gofundme to help with funeral and celebration of life arrangements. If you can donate responsibly we would be much appreciated. Thank you.

@onfoss armagetron tournament ended and the winner is Dromdan! 🥂
He chose to donate the prize (25€) to Bzflag.
The winner had the chance to choose to which project that money should have been donated :)
Israel has killed more than 150 #UNRWA staff, but the western nations with high morals cutting off their fundings because Israel claiming that 12 people on Gaza who worked for UNRWA out of 30000 staff were seen "participating" in October 7 attacks.
Not that they have proof that those people were part of the attacks, but proof that they were located outside of #Gaza and (like thousanda of other Palestinians) had passed through the barriers and into Israel.
I am truly disgusted by hypocrisy and inhumanity of all these countries who are willing to help starving over 2 million Palestinians because of the claims of #IDF that 12 people might have had Hamas connections.

We experienced the #RedditBlackOut and we want to give the power back to the users.
We just granted €3000 to @LemmyDev and €333 to @ernest to support the new #threadiverse who already has hundreds of "subs" and thousands of users.
This grant is part of our engagement with the @copiepublique initiative that gathers companies who pledged to share profits to grant #FLOSS and #digitalCommons.
