Q3. How do you communicate with your riding buddies/groups/orgs? Iām happy in my little Mastodon world, and have no interest in engaging in anything Meta, Musk, or platforms setting up to go that way (i.e BlueSky). I know I miss out on cycling goings on as a result of this and do struggle with that at times: principles over pragmatism?
M66 is a member of the Leo Triplet. NGC 3628, the galaxy in the upper left, likely had an encounter with M66 a few hundred million years ago, creating a dramatic tail-like plume. Gravitational interactions between the three galaxies may also be responsible for M66ās distorted shape and prominent spiral arms.
A fully sampled and hitherto highest resolution and sensitivity observation of neutral hydrogen (H I) in the Leo Triplet (NGC 3628, M 65/NGC 3623, and M 66/NGC 3627) reveals six H I structures beyond the three galaxies.
I'm currently trying out #Loops and enjoy it. Looking forward to hear more about how the FYP works! Do you also plan to let users tweak their FYP composition themselves in the long run, e.g. via third party recommender systems?
when do you plan on releasing the source code of the server so that people can run their own instances? The loops server repo seems a bit empty for an AGPL licensed application running on the network github.com/joinloops/loops-serā¦
This is sick. 'We voted for Hitler but can we have Duce now?' This shows how bady informed Trump voters are about Trump. And whose fault is that (Mr. Murdoch)? Voters Want MAGA Lite From Trump, WSJ Poll Finds wsj.com/politics/policy/donaldā¦
He told us what he wants to do. Hitler told us what he wanted to do. In each case, it's like authorities didn't really believe it was serious.They handed the legal keys to the car over to someone who was vowing to steal it and strip it down for parts.
Just look at his administration. The worst of the worst. Scum under rocks. People who should never be near power. Yet, Trump has not just one, but endless numbers of them.
This is not going to be fixed in my lifetime. If it can be.
GOP representatives that are in lockstep with this nuttiness and KNOW better are in on the fix. Hegseth confirmation reveals all. I do not want to hear one more time we are protecting our daughters from trans women in bathrooms when voting for someone with actual sexual assault charges.
An example of just how misleading polling is. WSJ says 70 percent want immigrants without criminal records protected but NYT says most want Mass deportation. Polling preempts intelligent public discourse. nytimes.com/2025/01/18/us/poliā¦
So what is the difference there? It's not as if you got any choice til the next midterms. It's not as if Trump has to keep any of his promises or has to convince anyone that what he does is right. If you want Polls look at the exit polls, or when people are about to Vote. These results are inconsistent but they also do not matter right now.
Mayby we should hope the military will take action to protect what there oath orders. To protect the American people and state. Not autocrats, olichars and other corrupt people and politicians. #usa #trump
We are travelling to the Baltics tonight, namely to Vilnius the majestic capital of Lithuania where the 2025 Lithuanian national selection- EUROVIZIJA.LT continues tonight with its Second Semi-final.
@risottobias yea, for instance. I've heard that is an effective starting point for deradicalization programs.
I was doing the thought experiment with Nazi Germany after the war. The fascism was an ideological virus that infected and rotted the brain. The war and destruction in this particular case where the terrible 'medicine' that brought cure and replaced fascist toxins with societal nutreants to rebuild the new world on the ruins of the old.
@risottobias I also had Moderation in mind as a protection mechanism in online social networks.
Am on about a new field of Social experience design or SX, which can be structured as a pattern language. If you have a lot of SX anti-patterns raging in your social environment, like the Echo Chamber and in particular the Purity Spiral, then efffectively moderation cuts off the return of any wrongdoer (in the eyes of the in-group, and against their rules) back into the fold.. Purification ensues.
@small circle š in calmness I remember hearing about a black man who purposefully approached people in the KKK and other hate groups, and sat down and had conversations with them. Through their discussions, most of them saw that their previous world view was mistaken and toxic, and decided to break from their racist organizations and even renounce them. People can change. That does not mean they will, but they certainly are capable of it.
@scott I've seen a Louis Theroux episode where he interviewed a KKK leader who was best pals with his black neighbor, and they were cracking jokes and drinking beer together. They were sort of both asked the question "why are you friends since that is so opposed to you ideology?" .. and the response was kinda like "Duh? We are *neighbors*, don't you see?". They knew each other deeply and saw humans again. A sort of an eye-opener how environment impacts things and how we might improve on that.
musk and other dimwitted rich ppl who use billions of our tax dollars to fund their hobbies of playing with giant toys* want to use Hawaii as a dumping ground for their debris, threatening critical habitats that supports a diversity of wildlife.
If you have influence in this fight, helping to oppose it would not only distract you from the rest of the shit going on around us on the daily; you would also meet great ppl and it would be worth it.

am pretty sure Zuckerberg or the rest at meta never had the "a better internet" in mind when they have done what they have done. Unless better internet == more money to Zuckerberg or supporting nazis.
Please, don't let your well-earned success go to your head. Not being able to contain their lower, childish impulses is one of the things that make people like Zuckerberg and Mullenweg so unbearable.
How difficult was it to get Sailfish to run on that machine? I am currently running Debian with Plasma Mobile using the kernel worked on by danct; the same kernel, although updated, that is on the original Arch version that came on the machine.
@zaivala I just flashed it and it was easy to put on an sd card atleast. You can use the flashing tool that piggz created that will pull the image and then setup the sdcard for you github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeeā¦
@Luigi311 @zaivala Yes, as documented. To install on the EMMC, you can actually run flash-it.sh again from a running sailfish from the SD card, and it will allow you to install again on the EMMC.
Im not so sure this is correct, looks like the bash version on sailfishos doesnt actually work with the script. It seems to use busybox for its shell and it looks like it might not support arrays so it fails on the POSITIONAL=() line with a syntax error unexpected "(". Looks like the script also expects sudo which also does not exist.
@Luigi311 I believe I would have to have a copy of sailfish OS in the first place, which is not free as I recall. I guess I'll keep my Debisn with Plasma Mobile.
@zaivala The flashit script downloads sailfish and flashes it for you. You dont need to pay for anything since this isnt an officially supported devices. Its community supported by piggz
@zaivala @Luigi311 also, even official devices have free versions of the OS available, you just dont get the 'paid-for' bits, like the great android integration and ms exchange support
Is there a special way to install esr91 on the pinetab2? I followed flypig.co.uk/geckoinstall and it installed but its crashing on start after a few seconds. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? I found a few github issues but they all seem hybris related.
Im assuming its ssu re since ssu-re doesnt exist. It seemed to run into a lot of errors about missing packages and checksum errors on your kernel adaptation. I told it to continue anyways but upon rebooting looks like its still on 4.6.0.13 sauna according to the ssh greeting and the about product page
Out of curiosity i tried doing 5.0.0.43 since that was released last month (only to c2) and it looks like the update has way less errors during the update process but then fails to boot so i guess i shall wait for 5.0.0.51.
@Luigi311 that might be my fault for breaking the kernel package yesterday :) ... 5.0.0.43 -should- work, but doesnt have the fixed browser for native/mesa devices
