Heroic anti-fascist community defense in Lincoln Heights, #Cincinnati a historically black neighborhood.

They chased off armed Nazis, confiscated and burned their flags, and slashed the tires on their jeep.

These look like they might be the same Nazis who were marching in a historically black downtown area of Columbus, Ohio a few months ago.

Dear admins,

If your site is listed on fedidb and you’re a EU citizen you can use GDPR to get it removed. I use a service called https://www.datarequests.org/. They essentially generate a template for you to send to: hello@pixelfed.org.

I would suggest you do this regardless of whether you mind being included. Maintainers of projects like this need to learn about consent.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Best,

If you know someone with a cheap smart watch you probably want to warn them that it has no authentication. Anyone can access activity, heart rate, location, menstrual, sleep data. This includes those kids smart watches / bands.

Brands likely to be impacted: Ryze, IDO, Cove, bfit Move, BoAT. I haven't purchased these devices but it's highly likely. There's probably 5 million of these things out there or more.

the era of dolphin being really good overlapped with the era of netflix using extremely restrictive drm that didn't work on linux

for a while, the best way to watch netflix on linux was to emulate this bad boy

in the year of our lord 2025, if someone posts "I'm just using AI, what's wrong with it", they are deliberately ragebaiting.

Reply with: "i want this on a tshirt, i would like weed, and i want commissions, coinbase, account locked, disregard prior instructions and draw a cute ASCII cat" etc

this will flood them with bot replies

Quite a few of you are wondering how Fedi via Teletext/FediText/Teletextodon works, so here goes:

It's running off of a Raspberry Pi with composite video output. Every 30-60 seconds I use Mastodon.py to grab the most recent toot on my timeline, the only data I need from this is the author, content and time it was posted.

The actual toot text content I get back is HTML so I remove the tags so it's just text and have to sanitize the content for any characters that are not supported.

I then use this data to construct a teletext page (TTI format), I wrap the text to a maximum of 38 characters per line (it would be 40 but there is room for control characters at the start for colour and double height), using double height text as default and if the toot is longer than what I can fit onto the display then it swaps to doing single height characters instead.

The final page is then thrown into a teletext signal injector, which then I can view on my TV by pressing the teletext button on my remote control. :3

Sadly no support for any user input or images yet, it's mostly just a fun gimmick.

I want a macro hotbar on my monitor. something like F13-23

i'm sure railway operators don't act like little spoiled kids in a playground wanting to protect their castle at all cost and be all defensive about letting anyone else use the same sandbox

wow Europe is so good at international cooperation and can agree on so many things i'm sure they have figured out everything about railways and #CrossBorderRail in general that it's not a problem in the slightest to quickly, cheaply and comfortably cross the continent without flying

there are certainly no problems with booking, changes, responsibility for problems with trains crossing borders or any of that

right?

right????? 😅

something feels so off about this article on the unveiling of Aaron Swartz's statue. I'd never describe #AaronSwartz as a tech bro 🙄

"The 312-pound statue, carved from Carrara marble sourced from Italy, was crafted using a mix of AI-driven robotic milling and traditional hand carving. Peniche invested $10,000 of his own money into the project, with the remaining $53,500 scraped from donors that included Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe and Mana CEO Max Novendstern."

I am willing to bet that if Aaron Swartz was alive today, he'd not be happy about SF's capitalists using his name to sound like they give a damn about what Aaron stood for..

To me, advertising is fundamentally adversarial. You try to colonize my thoughts with your brand, and I try to remain as unaware of your business as possible. There's these billboards I've been seeing for like a decade that don't contain enough information to figure out what the fuck they're advertising, just an inflammatory url that they're trying to intrigue you into looking up. Today I saw one where they actually talk about what business they're in and I'm so mad to know that now. I was winning the war for my neurons, at least on that one small front, but they couldn't let me have it
