Sometimes I wish just one Republican state would leave the US to found it's own country.

Just one — which could try out all the book burning, closed borders, fewer women's rights, religios politics, non-scientific medicine — so everyone could really see, what that leads to.

For years, politicians in Europe blamed everything on the EU, but I can assure you, when Britain left our union and became a country with considerable challenges, it crushed the EU blame game in many countries.

because everything is a file.

🗣 Timothy Snyder:

🇷🇺 #Russia can lose. And it should lose, for the sake of the world — and for its own sake.

The notion of an invincible Red Army is propaganda. The Red Army was formidable, but it was also beatable. Of its three most consequential foreign wars, the Red Army lost two.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.52 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Posts that were liked or boosted can now be unliked and unboosted.

Outgoing message timeouts are no longer hardcoded and can be configured (see snac(8) for more information).

Fixed a bug that caused some incorrect unfollows under special conditions (with shared inboxes enabled and users from the same instance that follow each other, the internal message distributor was confused).

Mastodon API: Added support for lists.

Added a header to avoid over-zealous caching in some browsers (contributed by louis77).

Added support for running and federating inside hidden networks like Tor, I2P or Loki (contributed by iwojima).

Fixed an error processing polls coming from Pleroma instances.

Angry Canada Goose

Male Canada geese are very aggressive. During mating season they choose a female (if they do not have one, as they are monogamous) and defend her (and later the nest) against all rivals (even other species).

This scene started with a couple sleeping at the edge of the pond, when suddenly a second pair loudly came swimming across to chase the couple away. The couple did not budge, and instead it lead to a long fight about whom the pond belongs to. I was standing right next to them, and they were a) loud and b) scary!

When I write software, I vendor all my dependencies.
