Admittedly, I know pers. not how seriously you have to take this but I am only developing web servers set to HTTP/2.0, because HTTP/3 is not yet extensively supported.

According to the complaint, more than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network,
allowing it to charge over $7 billion in fees each year for processing those transactions.
The complaint further alleges that Visa illegally maintains its monopoly power by insulating itself from competition.
For example, Visa wields its dominance, enormous scale, and centrality to the debit ecosystem to impose a web of exclusionary agreements on merchants and…

But aren’t Mastodon gGmbH the good guys? I can’t see how they’d ever partner with Meta if this were true.
No, no, this must be fake news.

🎉 New Kitten¹ Release: A little housekeeping 🧹
Today’s release only concerns production servers:
• Kitten no longer counts all *hits* in its stats. You can still see which of your *pages* are most popular, etc., and see stats for missing URLs, etc., as before from either the web interface or the interactive shell, but not every hit is logged. Instead, you can see the latest 25 served routes in Kitten’s Settings (at /🐱/settings/state/requests/ via the web on your server).
- …
After some refactoring, learning about `hatch`, moving more files around, and generally abusing `test.pypi.org`: I've uploaded `diceparse` to PyPI. Still need to update the web documentation, but it now feels like a proper project at this point.
I still need to add a CLI part so you can just roll dice after installing the package, but I'll handle that later. Also need to tweak the README.md a bit as well...

I wish this were ironic, but it's not. The article itself has intelligent-sounding sentences, which a Web search shows up on other sites. The publisher claims to have a "strict plagiarism policy"…which I'm realizing can be read two different ways.
@… I'm having scrolling issues w/ the latest web mastodon version v4.5.0-alpha.1@7d3ef27 io on vmst.io. I'm running the latest firefox v141.
When I scroll down, things work fine, when I try to go up, the feed jumps back down, I think when going over posts w/ embedded links, but it doesn't seem to be all of them so I'm not sure of the condition which is setting this off.
It happens scrolling w/ the mouse wheel and the keyboard arrow keys, but not the dragging the scrollbar.
You can play with (a supercharged server-driven version of it) today with Kitten:

1/2 Thanks to @… for this interesting article. It speaks to me. :)
I’ve been weather blogging @… since 2005. It is interesting how it has changed, and how I have changed.
My website used to be just data from the (expensive) station I bought when I moved back to Port Alberni. It was a hobby and a side project to practice web/coding skills I use at work. My focus was on creating useful data for people that was more local/relevant than the official EC station outside of the city.
Then I put up a webcam and learned how to make timelapses. This got the attention of local media… because pictures. :)
Then I added a blog and started to write about the weather almost daily. This was before Facebook. There was a popular local online forum where I would post things. The media would also follow my website and they started to call me when there was extreme weather (usually very hot or very wet/stormy).
Then Facebook started to get big and I made a page that eventually had a few thousand followers. I would blog often. Lots of traffic from Facebook… this was 2010 and on. I blogged about climate and weather pretty equally.
Like anyone in Port Alberni, I was/am obsessed with the Martin Mars and got wrapped up in that issue along with others which combined with the weather following probably gave me just enough exposure to have me elected as a councillor in 2014.
I continued through that 4 years, blogging often in addition to councillor duties and work, heavily on facebook, then it all went sideways on my own poor judgement (go ahead and google it, it’s ok :)) and I was not reelected, but Facebook by 2018 had also changed. Cambridge Analytica, etc.

Thanking the @… folks for the excellent work they do, and especially for their upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses which is nothing short of revolutionary for the future of the (Small) Web.
Apologies for the downtime on phpc.social this morning. Restarted services a little too early. We're good to go now (indexing ElasticSearch items in the background for the rest of the day but the site is functional otherwise).
In related news, phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.4.1, hence it looking a bit different from before if you're using the web UI.

🥳 New Kitten release!
Markdown and general renderer fixes.
Fixed:
• Nested Markdown sections rendering bug.
• Detection of components in Markdown where the opening tag spans multiple lines.
• Support for returning a component as a top-level object in a page.
• Slots in Markdown now work as they should (make sure you add them as block-level items, so with a leading and trailing empty line)
Enjoy!

To GNU tar or not to GNU tar?
• Installing Kitten on Linux should no longer display a screenful of gibberish from the tar command.
