@Vivaldi something I very miss on vivaldi is the ability to sync the panel on the left. The different shortcuts like my ISP mail, FB messenger, whatsapp, etc.
Something that Edge provides.
Wonderful #news. Another country in #Africa has decided to expel US troops. A huge blow for America, France and the West.
I'd love to see the day when American/Western troops are also expelled from Kuwait, Bahrain, the Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Iraq and many other Islamic countries.
The US Empire must be resolutely defeated and crushed. The world is bigger than a few White-majority countries that are still functioning as empires.
Russia is conducting a large-scale russification of the Ukrainian territories it has occupied.
Forced passportization
In April 2023, Russia passed a law according to which the residents of the occupied territories must obtain Russian citizenship, otherwise they can be deported.
Russia created a system in which the receipt of basic services such as access to food, education, work, healthcare and life-saving medicines, as well as pensions or property, depends on having a Russian passport
Meanwhile, in Russia, Valentina Matviyenko, Speaker of the Council of the Russian Federation, suggested creating a Ministry of Happiness and adopting a law on universal happiness right away.
"The new ministry would be in charge of checking all government decisions to increase the happiness of the population."
And all the unhappy people should be fined or imprisoned - then they will immediately become happy!
America is now in its third week without a functioning House of Representatives & thus, without a functioning Legislative branch of the Federal government.
This should be no surprise to anyone who notices that the problem is caused by the same party that voted to ignore the results of a lawful presidential election in 2020.
This is not incompetence. It is a deep need to destroy America, driven by greed.
@Frances_Larina the MAGA representatives are convinced that they hold the key for Trump return : that bringing havoc upon the American society will produce unemployment, inflation, diplomatic weakness and that will fuel resentment and dissatisfaction that will enable people to side with Trump. But can not that be far from the truth and turn the spell against the witch?
🎷 #NaData de hoje, mas em 1992, a gravadora Arista comete o álbum "Breathless", de Kenny G – grande sucesso que chegou ao 2º lugar na Billboard 200 e vendeu mais de 15 milhões de cópias.
Grande parte delas para salas de espera de dentista e operadoras de elevadores, supomos.
These times are very challenging. Rather than descend into an abyss of fake news and stident acrimony, somehow Mastodon seems to be largely maintaining a civil tone and self regulating misinformation.
It is pretty amazing to see an open social media community functioning this well given the meltdown across other platforms.
Let's continue to demand accuracy and civility while we debate these seminal issues. Let Mastodon be the beacon in the darkness.
@mastodonmigration the problem is that the fediverse are all mantained by volunteers: from installing and configurating the instances, moderation, etc. I know that some organizations and companies like the European Comission are already using customised versions of Mastodon. But that is the future : when people like journalists will promote their content in instances managed by their own companies or syndicates, and just by looking at the instance name, we know it is trusted content
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for the Jewish people at the pro-Palestine protest at the Capitol to be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
She also asserted that the incident was an "insurrection" and is demanding that the Capitol Police hand over all "surveillance footage, photographic evidence, police reports, and arrest records" relating to the protests. #AureFreePress#News#Israel#Irony
Like Microsoft, Google really needs to get a handle on criminals paying them to spread malware disguised as legit software. These paid results are so dangerous because they show up before any organic search results. e.g., woe to those who recently searched for KeePass.
Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine
@baldur i would be laughing at this if the subject was not serious : meta puts AI decisions above all else just because you advertise you teach courses about a subject that has the same name as an endagered animal.
EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton urged Elon Musk to crack down on the spread of misinformation on the X platform following the Hamas attack on Israel to comply with new EU rules.
The online content rules, known as the Digital Services Act (DSA), require X and other major platforms to remove illegal content and take steps to address risks to public safety and civil discourse.
The EU can fine X up to 6% of the company's global turnover for non-compliance with the DSA #AureFreePress
I had lived in Bosnia, where memory of Srebrenica is still fresh and painful.
Watching what is happening in #NagornoKarabakh today is chilling to the bone to me.
Apparently people are being moved to the Stepanakert airport. It is not clear how Azerbaijani forces will define "civilian population" vs. "separatists".
Five or ten years from now we will start hearing about mass graves there of #Armenian men and boys over 15, and we will be asking ourselves "how did no-one see that coming."
This will be the inevitable death of twitter or what it remains from it. It wil be the first non-free social network. How many people are able to afford to continue participating? Me no, i will not spend any single penny in twittershit.
💿 Na data de hoje, mas em 1989, Steve Jobs mostrou o que sua nova empresa estava fazendo: foi lançado o sistema operacional NeXTSTEP, que anos depois foi comprado pela Apple e virou avô do OS X e do iOS.
Era baseado no BSD, e sua interface inspirou o brasileiro WindowMaker.
🏴 Neste final de semana homenageamos Sir Clive Sinclair pelos 2 anos de seu falecimento.
O criador dos computadores que originaram os clones brasileiros TK85 e TK90X, entre outros, foi um prolífico inventor, com ampla gama de produtos bem-sucedidos.
@augustocc os zx spectrum foram em Portugal os primeiros computadores a chegar ao público geral. O Z80, que equipava estes computadores não ficava em nada atrás do 8088 da Intel. O problema eram as RAMs, que eram de baixo custo e daí de má qualidade, o que fazia com que cada spectrum não durasse muito tempo,normalmente não mais que um ano. Ao todo tive QUATRO spectrums 48K. Em Portugal foi fabricado um clone de marca TIMEX.
