@cdarwin@c.imMasked federal agents with military gear have been firing flash-bang grenades, teargas and rubber bullets at civilians in the streets of Los Angeles for the last three days.
On Saturday, Trump federalized the National Guard to help crush protests
— not just there but potentially anywhere in the U.S. where people demonstrate against federal law enforcement.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has threatened to send in the Marines.
They have come for immigrants, as they a…

@mapto@qoto.orgJust a confirmation that Tesla boycotts work. New Republic reports that Musk lost a quarter of his fortune with the stock price drop. the current price is being artificially pumped up at all costs, but this can't last for another quarter as sales are plummeting.

@BugWarp@wikis.worldSo I've been quiet the last few days because in May I attended the Wikimedia Youth Conference in Prague. Quite an interesting conference, a different one. There was a lot to take in and learn, but the most important thing is the new friends we made :)
@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeSlow progress the last couple days because I've been going into the office for work and the commute is eating up my time I'd otherwise spend on such things.
But now it's the weekend and the switch engine board is coming together nicely.
Still have 514 nets to route - mostly the supervisor, line card management buses, and power supply but also some other odds and ends like the FPGA JTAG and part of the SPI flash.
Also I have to get the tach/PWM signals from the m…

@khalidabuhakmeh@mastodon.socialI’ve been trying to “vibe code” a couple of things over the last few days, but I had to fall back on using my brain (like a sucker!).
I should keep some of this coding knowledge knocking around a little longer before cat videos and memes fill those parts of my brain.
My vibe must be off :P
@smurthys@hachyderm.ioFortunate to spend 10 days with like-minded people in #Udupi, not to mention seeing the historic idol up close and 1-1s with amazing scholars. Gratifying to be treated as part of the inner circle, no longer just as a guest.
Eager to return to pursue #learning and be of #service to others.

@randy_@social.linux.pizzaOver the last few months, I have filtered out most USA news, so I have basically a minimal knowledge of what is happening in that part of the world. To be honest, it's great! The same goes for tech, I work long 12-hour days and weekends as a sysadmin, and the last thing I want to see after those days is tech stuff. So, I read tech news through newsletters sent to an email address I only use for that purpose.
It’s making my life more relaxed not to care about what is happening on ot…
@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialIn the last few days, I"ve heard about TACO (Turnip Always Chickens Out). It's a reference to the fact that #POTUS47 often will make some bold move (e.g. declaring huge tariffs), only to back down a few days later when the move proves to be unpopular or unsuccessful.
Now it is reported that Trump Burger restaurant is getting flooded with inquiries about whether they serve chicken tac…
@jake4480@c.imFor this week's #MusicWomenWednesday, something with some real female RAGE. For the last couple days since it came out, I've been thoroughly enjoying Kitchener, Ontario's hardcore quintet BODY MINUS HEAD's debut LP 'An Exercise in Self-Sufficiency'. The whole band is tight and solid, but vocalist Alexandra Garvin really shines on this one. Her screams are unreal, and at …

@cdarwin@c.imIt’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Since this is a grassroots campaign, I want to be transparent with you.
Our fundraising hit an unexpected dip these last few days
– it happens sometimes,
and I don’t want to alarm you!
But I do want to share why this is important.
Unlike most other House campaigns, we operate differently and invest in community organizing year-round and full-time permanent staff.

@vrandecic@mas.toIs posting wrong AI answers still a thing, or do we all just accept they're making stuff up? #ai #googlesearch #aioverview
I mean, just note that the first and last sentence are clearly contradicting each other.
@toothFAIRy@scholar.socialGetting a lot of new old followers in the last couple of days; have you finally accepted me in your circles or did something happen with a sciency mastodon server? 👀
@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyPower failure in offshore gas field cuts Norwegian gas flows to EU and UK by 1/3.
Given the season it mainly affects the rate at which EU gas storages can be refilled.

@laimis@mstdn.socialLoftyAssist got quite a decent bump in users this weekend, again, by my tiny standards. 41 accounts, 17 logged in over the last three days, 7 paid yearly subscription. That has to be some good ratio of paid to free, no?
And I still have a ton of things to add to help users do their research. I am very curious to see how far this will go.
@cdarwin@c.imThe investor and engineer
(who was employee No. 2 at Pinterest)
is ready to talk about his DOGE days.
Last week, he published a blogpost detailing his brief stint in government.
And in a 30-minute call with The Standard on Monday, Lavingia expanded on his life inside Musk’s controversial cost-cutting machine, from attending the DOGEfather’s awkward all-hands meeting to expediting the government’s use of AI.
@primonatura@mstdn.social
@gwire@mastodon.socialBit of a post-Andor Star Wars kick. In the last couple of days I've rewatched Rogue One, and completed the main heist from Star Wars Outlaws.
@dariaphoebe@mindly.socialBiscuit day. Bacon or chicken sausage, egg, tea and coffee. Last breakfast here before several days of railroad historical society; Fontaines DC tonight, tho! #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/KyUhzYczEa3YSsif8
@mrysav@social.linux.pizzaI don't even remember the last time I played a game day 1, but wowzers am I getting the whole "games have so many bugs on day 1 these days" vibes from Oblivion Remastered. Hope patches can iron out the issues!

@niqdanger@social.linux.pizzaI spent part of the last few days working on a table runner for an auction being run for the place that hosts our quilt club. The theme was "Landscape" so I went with a familiar view to anyone who lives around here. #sewing
@cdarwin@c.imEnormous early-season wildfireshave erupted across the prairie provinces of Canada this week,
taxing local emergency response and threatening a long stretch of dangerous air quality across eastern North America.
The country’s largest fires
– the Bird River fire and the Border fire
– remain completely uncontained in northern Manitoba.
In Manitoba alone, wildfires have burned about 200,000 hectares already this year – already about three times the recent full-year …
@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgSnow is incredibly important in the #Arctic: it affects sea ice growth and melt, glaciers and ice sheets, permafrost, vegetation and animal life. Today's twofer #FieldDiary update on the last few days contains quite a lot about #snow. Also #birds.
