Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.

"When you think that you’ve lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more"

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.
I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.
Today's video (Day 61!!!) is on using systemctl to manage SystemD services. Sound confusing? It's not, I promise! https://90daysofmayhem.com/posts/day_61/
1999!
Photos from Ireland here in my feed today inspired me to reread one of my Irish-relates stories I wrote, very much written with inspiration from my one and only visit at Ireland. I had a fun time to reread this great story ;-). Less fun for you, but it does not stop me from sharing it here: https://www.hemrin.com/stories/21-listen-to-the-harp #Ireland #storytelling
På temat konstiga och hemska lagar. https://www.dn.se/varlden/indonesien-kan-forbjuda-sex-fore-aktenskapet/
På temat hoppfulla nyheter så tycks regeringen backa (dvs fortsätta ge) angående stöd till SKMA. https://www.dn.se/sverige/nya-besked-fran-regeringen-om-bidrag-till-skma/
Jag vet inget mer än detta. Jag hoppas verkligen journalister kollar upp och följer upp fakta om det stämmer och då vem det är, relevans och allt annat. https://www.dn.se/sverige/medieuppgifter-sverige-utvisade-man-till-turkiet/
If you think you may ever lose Internet connectivity due to State obstruction or other disasters but still need access to Wikipedia there is an excellent software for that, free of cost and open source.
@kiwix (https://www.kiwix.org) runs on Android, Linux, Windows, macOS/iOS, etc.
Does of course require you keeping a previously downloaded copy of the content downloaded b̲e̲f̲o̲r̲e̲ you lose the connectivity.
It also has other content such as Stack Overflow, Project Gutenberg, Surviving Disaster (a.k.a. Canadian Prepper), TED Talks, etc for completely offline use.
You can see what content is available to choose from at their https://library.kiwix.org/ library page.
The English language version of Wikipedia for example exists as variants such as one with "only" the 50000 "best" articles without pictures at 2GB and the full version with every article including pictures and such at 89GB.
Att något blir ”viralt” torde ske betydligt mer sällare och ske långsammare, och svårare att mäta, om Mastodon och annat i Fediverse är källan. Stämmer mitt antagande med vad du tror eller förstår? #viral
Tillägg: Jag har inte koll på hur andra delar av Fediverse fungerar, det kan säkert skilja tekniskt, så det är de som fungerar likt Mastodon jag inkluderar.
Series of Dreams!
I like the beat in this semi-old BobDylan song from 1991. Also the lyrics, although I as usual understand far from all. (By the way, do you Americans and other English-native understand all in this and other of his songs?)
