The UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy must do more to secure the release of British-Egyptian blogger, coder, and activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/12/uk-p…



I added the concept of filtering (hiding or warning flag) to my Friendica client, Relatica. As much as I doom post about Musk I actually filter posts mentioning him. Ironic but 100% on point that the entire top of my political accounts timeline is Musk mentioning posts. #ElonMusk #politics


EDIT: thanks to kind fediversians @hugovk and @miketheman, my search script works with PyPI again: codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/sr…

----------

Just noticed that pypi.org no longer works without JS.

Umm... you people really want to extract every bit of joy out of life, don't you?

I had a great workaround for the search feature you ripped out of pip, and now *that* no longer works. >:(

AMAZING. I've updated my script to grab the package summaries (based on the search term requested, not all of them, lol!), but also cache them for 7 days locally:

THANKS!! :D

So, I gotta ask this, and I really do hope I'm not being odious…

If a middle-aged, washed-up, has-been ex-IT guy could poop out 49 lines of passable bash in a couple hours to accomplish PyPI search from the command line,

why didn't the Python community?

I know that "just fire up a web browser" is becoming increasingly de-rigeur in dev circles, I just wish it wasn't. It's like firing up a 2-metric-ton tractor to go to down to the Piggly Wiggly.



“Elon Musk used misinformation to fuel a government shutdown.”

News outlets & many people who post on X & other social media about Musk, give him a pass. Musk spews #disinformation on X, he lies & intentionally misleads his followers, as do many of his allies & Trump.

I believe it is a Closed Captioning error where Picard is on the turbolift and the (meowing) comes up a second or two early before it cuts to Tasha on the Bridge with a cat from the colony where she grew up.

The episode with the 'Traveler', where they warp out to the middle of nowhere, and everyone's imagination seems to be coming to life.




I am truly impressed with the Georgian people. Night after night after night they fight for what is right.

May this become their democratic revolution.

We took out the cassette toilet and found rotten wood :/ videos.trom.tf/w/9kevhf7pmLtp1…

We will explain why we decide to go for a "dry" toilet instead of a cassette one in another video, but taking this toilet out revealed the nightmare for motorhomers: rotten wood. Water infiltration. But we fixed it! 😃

Nach ZDF-Schlappe vor Gericht in Schönbohm-Affäre: War’s das jetzt endlich für Böhmermann? journalistenwatch.com/2024/12/… Diese Woche musste der linkradikale ZDF-Hetzer Jan Böhmermann wieder eine schwere Niederlage einstecken. Das Münchner Landgericht verurteilte das ZDF dazu, künftig zwei Behauptungen zu unterlassen, die Böhmermann in seiner Sendung vom 7. Oktober 2022 über Arne Schönbohm,

Spotted this on FB (amendment to the one already shared).


People in #Indianapolis, IN held a demonstration in front of Elevance Health yesterday. Holding a banner reading, "Deny, Defend, Despose, Healthcare 4 All."

"Today, we protest against Elevance Health not in its role as a distinct actor in the health insurance market, a single agent in the hall of mirrors of contemporary capitalism. Elevance operates in just the same manner as UHC in the way it ranks bodies and judges some to be worthy of care and the rest simply not worth the time or effort. In this manner the only difference between the two is a matter of degrees in subdomains. We believe it is necessary to oppose this system of broad ranking of life expectancies in an age of depreciating life expectations. It is necessary as a precondition to a life worth living.

We believe that everyone is worthy of care. We believe that everyone deserves access to a healthy life according to their own standards. Both Elevance and UHC stand as barriers to this possibility. This is why we oppose them."

I wonder how long before this too is deemed to be terrorism in the US.
