On one hand, Elon’s Nazi salute is about establishing the sole right to establish and enforce what is and isn’t considered real and acceptable, and we shouldn’t concede it. The other hand, meanwhile, is giving a fucking Nazi salute, so fuck Musk and every other fucking Nazi who defends him.
Inaugural post
Hey everyone! No one?
I just joined Friendica and am trying it out before I convince my wife to join. I've been on #Mastodon for a while (@vtdarksim@toot.community), but I finally radicalized her against centralized billionaire-run social media and she's loving it! She even got me to join #Pixelfed (Geoghooligan@pixelfed.social), and now I'm checking out #Peertube and #Funkwhale (funk.gravitywell.xyz/@vtdarksi…)!
Anyway, I have no idea how to use #Friendica yet so any tips or guidance is much appreciated. Thanks!

There was some fallout from the H-1B civil war within MAGA, after all.
It looks like Vivek Ramaswamy overstepped by describing American workers as the result of a “culture of mediocrity” justifying why H-1Bs are needed.
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

You spend years platforming and agreeing with Nazis and the next thing you know people are not charitably interpreting a hand gesture
Due to these horrible times I'm going to put out a bunch of free Bandcamp codes for one of my lesser known EPs on Bandcamp. An Electronic Sinking. Feel free to redeem/share this post. Have some free electronic music.

A few highlights from the main #Rust merge for #Linux 6.14:
git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e361…
* Start to use 'derive(CoercePointee)' on Rust >= 1.84.0. This is a major milestone on the path to build the kernel using only stable Rust features. […]
* Finish the move to custom FFI integer types started in the previous cycle and finally map 'long' to 'isize' and 'char' to 'u8'.
* Introduce 'PROCMACROLDFLAGS' environment variable to allow […] which Android needs.

New Kobo Clara BW Follow-up
Initial Blog Post: madmolelabs.com/2025/new-kobo-…
Unfortunately I ran into another round of freezing issue while using KOReader so I had to factory reset the Kobo Clara BW and then I reinstalled KOReader.
Instead of using the Semi-Automated Installation Method like the other times I followed the Manual Installation Method based on KFMon which wasn’t that much harder.
After following the Manual Installation Method based on KFMon I haven’t had any freezing problems like before. There was one issue but I believe it was related to the battery running out of charge, not KOReader.
I updated my eBook and eReader Solution project post to reflect the change in installation methods and the subsequent resolution of the issue.
