In #spoonieTown the heating and cooling all run through the floors so the bones of the building are the right temperature, you aren't just pushing air around to fix things.
Imagine: warm cozy footfalls on a cold winter day; and a long cool floor to lie on in a summer heatwave.

"📣 [Brochure "Diaries of a new dawn"]

We are happy to share the new brochure we just put together after two months of the collapse of the regime. We compiled our evaluations and analysis shared here since the beginning of December, collecting reflections about the ongoing events in Syria with an anarchist perspective."

Shared by our friends in Rojava.

"Feel free to share it, print it and spread it out! 🖤"

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.

Internet, help: I am looking for red laser diodes with a built in diffraction grating that projects a circle.

I can find lines, grids, all kinds of things. Not circles. I can find exactly one supplier of circle diffraction gratings on AliExpress, but they won't arrive in time either (I need them next week ideally).

Surely this is a thing? You used to be able to get ones that projected cats!

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,

The Square One Fallacy. Why you need to know about it and how conspiracy theorists use it.

“The square one fallacy is arguing that we have no data to illuminate a particular question, that we’re starting from scratch, when there is an actual body of evidence that we are ignoring, either deliberately or cluelessly.”

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.

Die chinesische App kommuniziert mit chinesischen Servern? 🤯 das ja skandalös, geradezu ein Skandal!
Die App macht Device Fingerprinting!? Ey, du hast dich bei der App registriert, du schickst mit jedem Request deine User ID mit, da ist gar kein Fingerprinting nötig. - Die Daten sind wahrscheinlich doch eher für Statisik und Fehleranalyse

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
