Source tells NBC News: ‘Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive’

Obviously don’t stop boycotting.

With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

For the third day in a row I’ve been asked for sources on various topics, and I know many things and articles I’ve seen over the course of the last few months.

Lately when I try to search to bring them back up they’re gone in search results. Replaced with pages upon pages of pro Trump messaging. I tried to find the multitudes of articles about ww2 vets still alive admonishing the administration for their clear nazi ties.

Now all I can find for 8 pages is a flood of articles about a ww2 vet speaking at the RNC saying he’ll fight for Trump to the very end to thunderous applause. Every, single article.

Even duck duck go is getting washed out with pro Trump results when I look for all the articles detailing resistance

This looks bad. They’re rewriting the last six months.

Do I think it’ll work? Not on me, or any of us. The but the average person will be influenced by shit like this when they try to research anything about what’s going on. It’s literally been harder and harder to find anything of real value on Google or any search engine anymore

Anyone have one that isn’t forcing these results?

Make sure you download critical videos and archive articles. Screenshots if you have to. We’re losing our grip on the information networks

This is a Planteray tasting giftbox, six bottles of different rum, five of which are dedicated to a specific bad person, for when I no longer share the planet with them, I printed ribbons on my label maker with the name of the person the bottle is dedicated to.

Interestingly, out of the five bottles I have dedicated, four of them are dedicated to a person with a "u" as the first or only vowel in their surname.

The current dedication goes out to:

Mr. Trump
Mr. Putin
Mr. Musk
Mr. Murdoch
Mr. Orbán

The fifth is as of yet undedicated, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.

From Bluesky

During the first Trump administration there was often the feeling of being unable to escape the news. Every day, a new presidential proclamation via Twitter. Every day, a comment made in a press gaggle with potentially staggering implications. For many, the impact was immediate; but more often than not, the threat remained conceptual. This time around is different; things are actually getting materially worse each day, and the human brain is unequipped to notice, let alone process, all of it.

From the continued genocide in Gaza and the disappearing of immigrants off our streets by federal agents, to the dismantling of our health care infrastructure and the ever-growing scourge of gun violence, the pace of news is relentless. Even so, it’s crucial to take stock of events that each on their own would have once been considered a catastrophe, especially when much of major American media would give you the impression that the only thing that happened over the weekend was Charlie Kirk’s hagiographic memorial.

Let’s walk through a few important stories you may have missed—

New reconstructions of 540 million years of climate history show the planet tumbling between icehouse and hothouse states, revealing how rare and vulnerable our temperate moment is.

After many decades of often thankless effort — desert fieldwork in rusting 4×4s and sediment coring on the heaving seas; endless grant writing and rejection letters; hours spent cataloging specimens and writing monographs now yellowing in forgotten university file cabinets; ages in the lab fussing over gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers; and, more recently, Red Bull–powered late nights coding in R or coaxing deep convolutional neural networks and advanced climate models — we can now see our planet’s climate history with more clarity and insight than ever before.

What it adds up to is the biography of Earth in the age of animal life.
