@mcdanlj@social.makerforums.infoTIL that WB0RLJ Jim posts videos of his POTA activations keyed by time, so you can find your call in his video description with a link straight to the time in the video. Very cool!
I also read his QRZ page and discovered that I did something that he dislikes. I've heard other ops say that if someone gives a partial call, you should reply with your sign twice to cut down on back-and-forth, and now I kn…

@hikingdude@mastodon.socialOne thing Mastodon brought me back is the connection to blogs. In the past years, I followed mainly news sites via RSS and "professional IT stuff" only on LinkedIn ...
With the degration of LinkedIn and my increasing commitment to the fediverse, I found the link(s) back to some IT-people and my blogroll is steadily increasing.
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caBack in 2003, in the heady early years of the blogosphere, I would read, link to, and comment on Juan Cole’s @…’s excellent blog.
It’s still here, and still required reading for anything to do with the Middle East.

For those of you curious - the Nazis downtown are getting absolutely humiliated.
The big anti-Islam protest downtown currently consists of about 8 protesters and hundreds, maybe thousands, of counter protesters. The counter protesters are currently walking/pushing the protesters off of City Hall grounds. True Minnesota hospitality at its best.
Jake Lang [right-winger who organized the event] and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.
Currently has only about 5 supporters, and is being drowned out by counter protesters
The group led by Jake Lang tried to get inside Minneapolis City Hall, but the building is closed, as it is every Saturday.

(This is all gathered from a bunch of different online sources; sorry I can’t link back to all of them, haven’t been keep track properly as I gather, but you can find more primary sources and video, I’m sure)

Q: When to use CLOB data type in SQLite?
Claude: […] XML or JSON documents (though SQLite has a dedicated JSON type now) […]
Q: Give me the link to the SQLIte JSON type
Claude: You're right to push back on that — I misspoke. SQLite does not have a JSON data type. JSON data in SQLite is stored as plain TEXT.
```
I do understand companies do not care.
I fail to see how developers would NOT care.
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaOk, esse foi o SPAM mais aleatório que eu jš recebi no meu privado aqui nesta rede. Fiquei até com medo de ter algum golpe envolvido, mas não tem link não tem nada. Parece só birutice mesmo.
@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialIn case anyone was wondering about the relevance of #LandBack in the current moment, via CrimeThinc an article on the Minneapolis resistance states:
"""
The Whipple, a federal building in Fort Snelling on the outskirts of the Minneapolis and St. Paul, has long been a regional headquarters for ICE, having previously housed other federal agencies. The complex is located across the street from a National Guard base, down the road from a military base, and next to the preserved fort itself. The fort sits on the sacred site of the convergence of two rivers. It was one of the earliest sites of colonization in the area; at one time, it was a concentration camp holding native Dakota people.
"""
If at any point in the past you ever felt that maybe Native soverignty was a niche issue, or so far from being realized that other causes were more important or relevant, things like this are a good reminder that that cause: overturning the colonial order, is the *same* cause as any meaningful change from the fascist status quo. Things like a "return to democracy" aren't necessarily bad, but the rot runs to the root of this nation, and any intervention that doesn't go that deep is going to leave us right back in this situation again later on.
The fact that ICE is detaining Native Americans is not at all a mistake given their white supremacist aims.

@pre@boing.worldOne thing which is annoying about Vivaldi and also Firefox and presumably also all the other Android web browsers is the way the "Add To Homescreen" button works on pages like Mastodon which are Progressive Web Apps.
If you add the shortcut to the homescreen then it opens as a WPA which means the browser stuff is all gone and hidden. No back button. No way to bookmark. No way to launch a link in a new browser window etc.
Ought to be two separate buttons for "Add a link to the homepage" vs "Add this app as an app to the homepage" but there isn't.
You can get around this by turning on airplane mode and adding a link to the error page to the homescreeen, which then works as a link to the website in the browser, not a WPA app, when you're online again.
I did this to the links I use with Vivaldi before I realized it's proprietary and so will not do.
Trying to rebuild them as Firefox links again and sadly something is broken now. Won't add the error page. Tells me the pixel launcher is crashing.
So I can't have the old web bookmark links to pages in WPA apps. Boo. 😦
