Ahahah my employer posted photos of us hoisting and flying the trans flag outside the aquarium and the haters are so angry it’s so funny they’re trying to say fish aren’t gay and people are like uhh some of our fish do actually change genders

#LGBTQ #Trans #Pride

It is not surprising that Rupert Murdoch’s editorial boards savaged Mamdani. But the onslaught from the more centrist outlets is telling: Like the business establishment, they fear progressive economic policies when it comes to housing, education, transit and public safety, despite all overtures to the contrary.

Me, two weeks ago:

"Strange days indeed; imagine listening to a carpenter describe themselves as "hammer-first."

"But do you... build houses?"

"Incidentally, yes; but our main focus is on hitting nails with hammers."

Microsoft today:

"AI is now a fundamental part of how we work," Liuson wrote. "Just like collaboration, data-driven thinking, and effective communication, using AI is no longer optional - it's core to every role and every level."

I have to tip my hat to Microsoft for having worked so hard to convince the world that the City of Munich failed with their Linux migration.

It's of course just a big fat lie. Munich is since 20+ years growing their Open Source footprint. They are sharing and they are growing their use of open source.

Hi all. It's been a while since I've asked, but I'm here again asking for you to support your local fediverse instance. I know many instance operators struggle to make ends meet each month, and there does seem to be a downward trend on donations across the board. If you love this place and are in a position to and your instance supports it, please consider supporting them.

Thank you!

Website/device age verification is a privacy and security nightmare and everyone who tells you that this is a solved problem is lying to you.

How quickly will California cops force the legislature to ban this service that helps people ID rogue officers? Guessing days, not weeks.

The Supreme Court today broke a fundamental agreement between internet users and the state that has existed since its inception: the government will not stand in the way of people accessing First Amendment-protected material. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/todays-supreme-court-decision-age-verification-tramples-free-speech-and-undermines

This bill would mandate a whole new censorship infrastructure, encompassing not just images but the products and services used to create them, with few safeguards against abuse. Tell Congress to say NO to the NO FAKES Act. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/no-fakes-act-has-changed-and-its-so-much-worse

The endlessly corrupt Supreme Court has just given Trump more dictatorial powers.

It's not over, but the fascists are close to the finish line.

This is hard for Americans to understand. We've never lived with mass hunger. SNAP & other food programs have been *that* successful that we forgot what problem they solve.

It's kinda like the Dutch going "Huh, we haven't flooded in like 70 years. I guess we can blow up all these dikes!"

Did a short on farms & the "Big Beautiful Bill."

This one is for those with Republican senators. The BBB is trash for a lot of reasons. And if you need to persuade Republicans on that, here's some info that will work.

This is such a great story! Some small business owners were looking to retire, so a local farm co-op bought the business and is converting it to a #WorkerCoop. Congrats to all involved!

GTK development would not be possible without the help of the @gnome project. Donations—especially recurring ones—to GNOME are necessary to ensure the continued existence of the infrastructure GTK relies on for building and testing.

https://donate.gnome.org

The new development snapshot towards GTK 4.20 is now available: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/releases/4.19.2

Lots of changes, mainly related to improvements in SVG symbolic icons; CSS gradients, keyframe selectors, and text shadows; caching masks for fill and stroke nodes; and Windows support in the form of D3D textures, rendering, and composition
