To be clear: with these people I always look to opportunism before conspiracy to explain their actions — but when you have this kind of rapidly convergent manufactured consensus within a political group, the distinction between those two becomes blurry.
Looking for malicious premeditation is probably just pursuing a red herring. I’m more interested in how they form their response, what they’re doing to try to shape public conversation, social media, the press.

During the past 5 months, the armed forces have sent questionnaires about the voluntary military service to 300k 18-year-old Germans.
90% of the men (who are required to fill out the form) answered immediately, further 6% after being reminded (the others are facing fines). ¼ of the replying men were initially interested, and ½ of them remained so after being called.
1500 of them were examined for their fitness for service, and 80% passed. ~530 were finally recruited.

An update on the status of the race for my House seat: When I last posted about it, the 2 Dems interested in running for it were Jason Quinno and Tom Brennan. However, they have decided to run for the floterial instead, so now Nate Giffard is running for my seat. I met him today, and he seems good. Since he is now the only Dem running for the seat, I'd like to officially endorse him for the position. He's running on a platform of housing, general affordability, and civil rights.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your homeassisitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeasistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

I'd definitely be interested to see if this is legit, but don't have enough context to know. Looking at this person's CVE list suggests it probably is.

Hmmm the Garmins look interesting!
The Venu 4 (and Forerunner 970, tho that’s way too big for my wrist and more expensive) have most of what I want, and their phone app is optional!!
Not sure exactly what features I’d be missing with no phone connection (specially considering that it has no lte/mobile data), tho the phone app supports both iOS and Android so maybe once Bluetooth on Waydroid is a thing I could get that to work too!
I don’t think I’d be missing anything from my current Apple Watch (s5) or even from newer AWes other than the Ultras (which are also too big for my wrist, and too expensive). The Ultras have a depth sensor for diving which is really really cool, while the FR and Venu aren’t water resistant enough for that (Garmin has a way more specialised smartwatch for that, with a mostly non-overlapping featureset).
Both the FR and the Venu are rated for swimming, which is cool, but neither of those are proper for diving (I don’t really dive, tho that’s something I’m interested in trying out in the future). I think it should be safe enough for when I go around swimming in the pool or beach tho? Well, I don’t usually keep my Apple Watch on when swimming anyway. It’s just nice to know that if I were to get more sportive about that it’d be a possibility.
I think the only disadvantage of the Venu compared to the FR is the lack of a Maps app, tho that’s totally fine ig. Also no HR while swimming and less storage. The FR is 2mm bigger than my current 45mm s5 apple watch, and I already find this too big. The Venu has a 41mm option which is what I’d get if I decided to go for it.
OH AND THEY BOTH HAVE SUPER PRETTY COLOR OPTIONS, INCLUDING A LAVANDER ONE FOR THE VENU!!
(the FR has lots of very pretty options too!!)
This is mostly just brainstorming rn, but does anyone around here have any experience with the Garmin smartwatches? It’d be nice to see opinions from someone who owns one of them :3

Maybe AI is a more fragmented topic due to its newness, and interest has not coalesced, leading to a large number of small sessions. (But again, •total• votes for AI, including the whole long tail, were proportionally smaller.)
