Dear journalists: If you call the Trump-Republican omnibus legislation that (among other things) takes health care from millions to further enrich billionaires the "big beautiful bill" -- you are doing propaganda for the regime.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Don't you understand this?

Kilmar Ábrego García says he was tortured in El Salvadorian prison. Hundreds of people are still there, sent there from the US by the Trump administration to be tortured, all sanctioned by the Supreme Court and Congress. https://www.muellershewrote.com/p/mr-abregos-account-of-torture-at

Popular culture loves to lionize some of the worst behavior of the police, in a genre known as "copaganda".

Here's a guide for creative folks on how not to do surveillance copaganda -- don't do marketing for the people who relentlessly spy on everyone.

Ich bin auf der Suche nach der Möglichkeit, beruflich die #microsoft Bubble zu verlassen. Ich arbeite mein Leben lang schon im Bereich ITK, also Voice und Telefonie. Seit 5 Jahren im Kontext Microsoft Teams.

Ich würde gern in die #Linux Welt einsteigen, es finden sich aber wenige Chancen für jemanden der beruflich nur Microsoft kennt. Muss auch nicht Voice sein, aber etwas mit Kommunikation wäre schön.

Kann mir der Mastodon Algorithmus helfen? Kennt jemand wen?

Paramount's decision to settle with Trump will be remembered as one of the most shameful capitulations by the press to a president in history.

Each time a company cowers and surrenders to Trump’s demands it only emboldens him to do it again.

Caution has turned to cowardice – the #BBC is failing viewers with its #Gaza coverage - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/02/bbc-gaza-doctors-under-attack-documentary-israel-war "The craven failure to broadcast Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is just the latest example of skewed journalistic values over Israel’s war" painfully obvious

More than 80% of UK farmers worried about climate crisis harming livelihood, study finds - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/02/farmers-climate-crisis-livelihood-extreme-weather-study "Farmers warn of risk to Britain’s food supply as more than three-quarters take hit to income from extreme weather" turns out that #climatecrisis stuff wasn't exaggerated after all

A one TERABYTE hard drive costs less than a day's minimum wage and yet everything lives on someone else's computer, what the heck

🐀 Dad's what's information

🦝 It's like misinformation but there's less of it and it's true

Reading daily on a 2007 ereader has reminded me just how tiny text is and I don't think Modern Kids even know about file sizes

one black-and-white page of manga shrunk to fit this ereader's screen takes up as much space as a novella

you can fit fifteen novels in one second of video

a 4gb SD card of books would probably have me completely sorted out for reading material until it's time to die of old

When going to higher display resolutions in #phosh #stevia's 🎹 can become a bit small to type with (as our ☝️s usually don't adjust to display size). I've thus cooked up an MR that allows to keep the physical size of the OSK constant (in portrait mode for now).

On top of that one can add a "dead zone" at the bottom of the OSK which helps on taller devices like the #OP6 as the 📱 otherwise tends to tilt when typing on the bottom row.

For me this is a typing speed booster.
