#Fairphone|s are not supposed to be waterproof (because #repairability requires to not seal the device with glue I guess?). Yet, yesterday I accidentally dropped my @Fairphone 6 into 40cm deep water, then noticed I lost it, called it (it rang!) and pulled it out a few minutes later. I was able […]

If the Supreme Court rules with Trump to throw out birthright citizenship, we will need to prove our citizenship with not only our own birth certificate, but our mother's birth certificate. How will anyone vote under the Save Act?

Loss of green smelter highlights Kentucky’s need for clean electricity
Century Aluminum chose Oklahoma, not Kentucky, for a new smelter. Some say it’s a "wake-up call" for the Bluegrass State to modernize – and decarbonize –…

I just update #ente to v 1.2.31, and, while I fully acknowledge it is impossible to please everyone, I have to go on the record: I do not like that the default photo view now no longer has the "i" (info) button - it has been demoted to the 3-dot menu. That means, when I am adding captions & […]

Pope Leo’s secret letter to U.S. bishops just leaked. TrumpWorld is not going to like what it says. This week in Rome, Pope Leo XIV quietly handed a letter to a group of visiting U.S. bishops. Inside were messages from migrants families separated by deportations, children afraid to sleep and […]

Quick question for people who understand US politics. It seems the government is shut down. Since Republicans control the presidency, the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court, who are they blaming for this?

“Walkable cities allow you to access more amenities on foot for daily life, like going to school or work, buying ingredients for dinner…But that's not available to everyone, given many cities and suburbs in Canada and the U.S. have been designed to emphasize transport by car, urban planners say.”

People who moved to a walking friendly city walked more, and at the brisk pace favoured to improve health and prevent disease, a new natural experiment shows.

Africa is on a campaign for the world to adapt the "true size" map, vs. the Mercator projection we are all used to. Interesting how distorted our perception is. This links show a great comparison, and discuss issues: atlas.co/blog/map-projections-merca…

How Trump cuts could affect your weather reports
Proposed budget cuts at NOAA reflect the Trump administration’s frustration with climate research, but also threaten the quality of National Weather Service forecasting.

Trump’s executive order banning top-down ideological bias is a blatant exercise in top-down ideological bias. www.wired.com/story/trump-ai-order-…

Trump’s Anti-Bias AI Order Is Just More Bias
The Trump administration says it wants AI models free from ideological bias, as it pressures their developers to reflect the president’s worldview.
