A bill called the ‘Stop Resistance Activities by Federal Employees Act’ was introduced in the House yesterday. It covers federal employees at or above GS-15 and would impose very serious penalties for “opposing, obstructing, or impeding lawful directives from the President, Vice President, or any other political appointee”.

The language is….well it’s fascism. And I’m not exaggerating. And maybe it won’t pass this time, but we all see the trend.

Sachez que ce pays de lâches qu'est la France refuse de prolonger les visas des libanais qui étaient en France avant que leur pays ne se fasse bombarder et leur vie détruite.

Another week, another increase for @heiseonline

#Mastodon keeps growing (the last time, we got this much #traffic, was at the beginning of the year), #Bluesky, too. No big jumps, but we'll see, where it leads.
#Threads still brings very little, #Twitter stays weak.

As always, this is the traffic to heise.de via the different social media platforms.

Edit: In the graph, Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads are stacked together (as they are they biggest Twitter-alternatives).

2nd Edit: Graph added.

Just watching this about #PersonalData and #Privacy and #tech and #CorporateSocialMedia and, you know what? It turns out @aral is quite brilliant.

I won't, however, share any #youtube links, so here's an invidious link that seems to be still working.

Breaking character for a moment, because the Mastodon instance my bots are running on is shutting down soon. muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/2…

Does anyone have recommendations for well-run instances that bot accounts are welcome to migrate to?

OOC: Riker Googling was the reason I joined Mastodon. Associating beige.party with this account would be a great get for everybody involved, imo.


Valencia, Spain.

Tell us again how the actions that would allow us to avoid the #ClimateCrisis were “too expensive.”

None of the record-breaking, historic or “100 year” events we’ve been seeing a lot of lately are the “new normal.” Because it’s actually going to keep getting exponentially worse.

I've just added new alias for printing simplified #Docker Compose processes' snapshot. The default format is too noisy, contains a lot of information I don't necessarily need most of the time. All I really care is services' names, image they're created with & their status 😊.
