@Enema_Cowboy Well, while I have spent a lot of time with drills and know what they look like, I rarely spend much time around tip lorries, I would need some time for research first.


The neighborhood resource hub is expected to launch in early 2025 and will link those in need to critical services such as housing, healthcare, job services and help with credit card debt

@noodlemaz When I speak of someone as unstable, I very seldom intend to say that person is mentally ill. The latter is a medical designation that I wouldn't presume to make about someone whose behavior strikes me as unstable. People can show all sorts of signs of instability at stressful times in their lives without being mentally ill.

@noodlemaz You say, "I'm glad it's not what you meant in this case."

You're responding to an excerpt from an article by Jay Kuo who used the word "unstable."

I'm not the one who used it.

I may have to temporarily move from the Linux stand alone app for Social Stream Ninja to manage all my chats to the browser extension on a Chromium based browser (which I will be using @brave for) as I can't really log in to all the platforms to send messages but I can at least read them. But overall I would consider Sunday's Youtube and Social Stream Ninja tests to be a success socialstream.ninja/landing

A long shot, maybe, but not without merit. A lawsuit against six academic publishers alleging that the defendants:

a) refuse to compensate scientists for their manuscripts and review
b) refuse to compete by implementing Ingelfinger Rule
c) prohibit authors from sharing their work

It may be worth considering filing an Amicus Brief with the numerous EU Commission market analyses that confirm the monopoly status of these publishers.

I don't know. Many nonprofit scientific societies are also affected by this suit through their membership in STM: stm-assoc.org/membership-2/our…

If anything, putting more financial pressure on publishers by having to pay reviewers is going to push the balance even further towards for-profit companies. I also think simultaneous submission allowing authors to cherry-pick where they encounter the softest review is a terrible idea.

@hweimer

Yes, those concerns were also among my first ones. See,. e.g.:

bjoern.brembs.net/2023/02/how-…

It all depends on the mitigations they would be asking for. I see any weakening of the monopoly position of the journals (corporate or societal) as positive in principle, as it would bring more force to procurement rules, see, e.g.:

bjoern.brembs.net/2022/03/why-…

By leveraging procurement rules in this way may bean important step to finally replace all journals:

Defense witness for George Floyd murderer appears in pro-Trump ad

The retired police officer makes misleading statements about Kamala Harris’s reaction to the violence after Floyd’s death.

"Preserve America PAC", a pro-Trump group, appears to specialize in first-person accounts by people allegedly wronged by Vice President Kamala Harris.

We previously looked at an ad featuring a woman whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant in Texas
— when Harris was district attorney for San Francisco.

The new ad features a former police officer who ⭐️says he was injured in the riots that erupted after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd.

⭐️A similar ad, which features a police officer identified only as “Paul,” attacks her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for his handling of the situation.

Wait until he hears what trump did to the police during the#January6thInsurrection


This is a short tutorial video on how to receive events/tasks almost instantly from your @nextcloud on your Android device using DAVx⁵ and our new Push functionality.

1. You'll need to activate this Nextcloud app:

apps.nextcloud.com/apps/dav_pu…

2. Install a @unifiedpush distributor on your Android, then select it in the DAVx5 settings.

3. Deactivate and reactivate a calendar resource in DAVx5 in the details view of a resource and wait 5 seconds. "Subscribed" should appear, and you're ready.

Outstanding work, this is a very welcome change.

Followed the tutorial and now see Push Support as Subscribed for CalDAV entries. Should the Push Support info also show for CardDAV? So far not seeing that info in CardDAV.
