I made daisy chains this weekend with my little boy so I crocheted one for him to bring to creche this morning. They then spent the morning working on daisy crafts ☺️ #crochet #crafting #summer #daisies

If you ever need to test keys on your keyboard in X windows, a nice program to use is xev. You can run it like this from the shell:

xev -event keyboard

Then make sure its window has focus and start pressing keys. To stop, close the window.

Gestern habe ich von @Lady_Amalthea diesen Song der Künstlerin Sarah Lesch empfohlen bekommen. Wir hatte da so ein Thema in der Fediverse Sprechstunde. Ich kannte den noch nicht. Aber der sollte gerade hier in Sachsen und Thüringen verbreitet werden. Ich mach das gleich mal auch in anderen Kanälen. 😉 Guter Text! Nie wieder!

Subscribed to Amazon Prime as film club have had a few choices from there recently and they’re not always available elsewhere (usually I’ll buy the DVD if it’s an older film). Figured out I may as well get my money’s worth so started watching Clarkson’s Farm.

OMG it’s hilarious. Like Top Gear, I’m sure a lot is scripted, and the co-stars haven’t yet got the bonhomie of Hammond and May, but I’m really enjoying it and, surprisingly, learning a lot about farming.
Paul mastodon (AP)
I knew farming was tough and not very profitable, but I didn’t realise how much difference a few days of stopping planting due to rain made (1/3 loss of yield in the example they used). Yes Clarkson is making a hash of some things for comedic value, but it looks incredibly hard work for negligible reward, unless you can convince Amazon to commission you to film it…

Hundreds of PC models from vendors such as HP, Lenovo, Dell, Intel, Acer and Gigabyte shipped with useless boot protection—using private keys that aren’t private.

#SecureBoot is completely broken, scream the headlines. Why? A team of researchers from Santa Monica have found countless flaws in the way major PC vendors manage the #crypto keys that keep your PC’s boot process trustworthy. And the problem started at least 12 years ago.

The researchers are calling it #PKfail. In #SBBlogwatch, we scramble to rotate our keys. At @TechstrongGroup​’s @SecurityBlvd: https://securityboulevard.com/2024/07/pkfail-secure-boot-broken-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc

“Adobe exec compared Creative Cloud cancellation fees to ‘heroin’”

This excuse is rich. Apparently simple math is too hard for Adobe.

So glad I canceled my Adobe subscription.
I asked Rao why the order screen doesn’t just clearly display the termination fee, which would solve a lot of the FTC’s problems, and his explanation was that calculating and displaying that price isn’t easy since the fee is 50 percent of a customer’s remaining term. “It will always depend on when you cancel. That’s how the fee is determined.”

If anyone thinks Trump's statement to his nephew that disabled people should "just die" (actual quote) is just empty talk, the GOP's Project 2025 will put it into action by framing the deficit as a "Medicare and Medicaid problem" instead of a GOP billionaire donor problem. If you want the disabled people in your life to "just die," vote red. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/health/managing-health-insurance/project-2025-medicare-medicaid

Both parties are captured by the same exact corporate interests. By design. The only hope for America and the rest of the world is to vote independent and vote for rational solutions that do not require half of the citizens to be wrong. A country should fix everything and anything possible where all people are in agreement and keep discussing those things that people are in disagreement until a universally fair solution is found.

Using the bully power of 51% of the media indoctrinated people to force the 49% to do what the media wants is horrible. If the media is taken out of the equation then most people want to do the right thing and be left alone and will leave others alone. The mainstream media in the hands of just few billionaires is used to divide people on mostly irrational, irrelevant, non political and emotional grounds into opposing caps that think they have nothing in common with each other.

If you actually want the medical system to be fixed the only small chance is going to be RFK Jr.

Check his policies, and decide which other candidate has the same priorities.

Perhaps the new UK government is not that interested in this "war on woke":

Government delays university free-speech fines
Controversial new powers for universities and student unions to be fined for failing to uphold freedom of speech have been put on hold by the government. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said that would allow time to consider whether the law, which was due to come into force next week, would be repealed.

It also included a new complaints scheme for students, staff and visiting speakers, who could seek compensation if they suffer from a breach of a university's free- speech obligations. But a government source told the BBC the legislation would have opened the way for Holocaust deniers to be allowed on campus, and was an “anti-semite charter”.

"What freaks conservatives out about Harris’ laugh is that it’s real. When she laughs she’s not enacting a performance of mirth; her laugh is genuine. What they really mean when they complain about it is How dare she! A woman? Thinking she has the right to just laugh whenever she wants to? What is the world coming to? This is what Trump and others on the right hate about Harris’s laugh: She thinks she has the right to laugh whether they like it or not, and with real joy."

"When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power [...] more of an ability to speak your voice [...] than people who don't have kids."

That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. This would actually come down to parents voting of behalf of their children ... and automatically that what the parents vote for (rebellious teenagers will certainly love that 🙄).

#France is raising taxes on flights to pay for trains

Countries affected by #fires should follow this: #Portugal #Spain #Greece #Italy

"If you fly from Paris to Barcelona the #airline not only pays no VAT, but is also exempt from kerosene #tax. If you make the same journey by #train, the rail company will pay an #energy tax and passenger #VAT. This means higher costs for the company which are usually reflected in ticket prices."

@AlexanderMars I'd be down with implementing heavy taxes in internal flights between the 3 major mainland airports (Lisbon, Porto, Faro), if that came with heavy investment to make that rail corridor better
@d3x7r0 Europe in general should impose taxes on tourists and direct the funds to infrastructure. Make the EITAS €14 instead of €7, that alone could generate an easy billion euros annually. I’m sure the average American would complain loudly, but that’s probably only what they spend on frappucinos in a single day.
