My chromebook seems to be running a lot better since I turned off all of the Google tracking. It has been running on battery since yesterday and still has just under three hours of power.

Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.

For a guy who talks a lot about how much he hates drugs

A day after his latest inauguration, Trump pardoned the founder of the Silk Road website, which was notorious as a dark web drug den.
This was followed by the strange commutation for the founder of the Gangster Disciples in Chicago, who flooded the Windy City wi…

🥳 New Kitten Release
• Reduces minimum Bash version requirement for installing Kitten to Bash 3.2 (was previously Bash 5 ). This removes the requirement for people on macOS to upgrade the ancient version of Bash that Apple ships with their desktop operating system. (If you’re on Linux none of this was ever an issue for you.)¹
• Updates runtime to Node 24.12.0, the latest long-term support (LTS) version.

Duaa Izzidien - Visual Storyteller & Artist on Instagram: "I had far too much fun creating this reel and couldn’t bring myself to delete any of it to make it shorter and more algorithm friendly 🙈 If you watched it all the way to the end - well done! You’ve just demonstrated the very thing the reel is about - showing up is the only talent that matters. My arrows don’t always hit the target. My paintings don’t always turn out how I planned. And honestly? Life rarely goes the way I intend. But really that isn’t what matters. In Islam we say that actions are by intentions and that sometimes means letting go of controlling our outcomes. We can control our intentions, our effort, showing up - but we have to remember that the result doesn’t actually come from those actions. Sometimes the arrow misses because there’s a better lesson waiting or perhaps it’s to remind you to stay humble and remember that ‘you’ are not the architect of your success. Sometimes the painting goes “wrong” because it’s becoming something more beautiful than you imagined. Sometimes life doesn’t work out the way you planned because there’s something different, better, round the corner for you. A huge thank you to @thabitoon_archers and @mamluk.academy for teaching me. You’ve taught me far more than just archery - you’ve taught me a rich history and life lessons that bring peace. (any mistakes in my form are entirely mine!). Want to learn how to use art as a tool for trusting and letting go of control? DM me ‘CREATE’ and I’ll show you these techniques. #showingisenough #trusttheprocess #archery #archerygirl #traditionalarchery #archerylife #overwhelm #personalgrowth #innerstrength #growthmindset #breakthrough #findingmyself #resilience #transformation #letgoofcontrol"

Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, a microbiologist at Mount Sinai’s medical school who wasn’t involved with the study, called the work
“a good vaccine to have ready in case of any outbreaks with this virus”
However, he thinks this approach may fall short in tackling human influenza.
“H5 changes in multiple directions, so a central antigen makes sense,
while in the human flu or human SARS-CoV-2,
the central antigen moves with time.”

New bird flu vaccine design could help preparations against an evolving potential pandemic virus 

So, that's the story: 1) PocketCast changed my lists into Smart Playlists. 2) PocketCast desktop/web doesn't support Smart Playlists. 3) Therefore, they made desktop/web unusable for me.
Great.

Japan Daily on Instagram: "Marty Friedman, an American musician based in Japan, visited a junior high school in Chiba at an event organized by local police to promote coexistence with foreigners. Speaking to first-year students, he said that 99.9% of foreigners who come to Japan are not dangerous and are often eager to communicate with Japanese people. He encouraged students to learn foreign languages and approach others without fear. Friedman also shared a personal story about forgetting his wallet in Japan, highlighting the country’s honesty. The event aimed to help young people understand cultural differences as foreign visitors and workers increase. Learning with empathy can reduce tension and improve everyday interactions.

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
