The FAA is hosting an #aviation #shitshow right now in El Paso, TX. First announcing closures of the airspace, then re-opening it again, something about 28,000 drones, maybe a new weapon to shoot down drones, DHS says it's for "national security" yada yada yada, Pelosi is piloting the drones...

One this is crystal clear. Today, the media is not talking about the 38,000 times Big Orange is mentioned in the Epstein files.

El Paso is just today's distraction.

RE: mastodon.social/@leavex/116053…

If Mastodon is chronically underfunded, shouldn't we discuss serious public investment in its development, including its usability and design?

Twitter was purchased for $43 billion and is now widely used to amplify disinformation and polarization through hate speech and an extremist agenda.

How much are we willing to invest in a bold, interoperable, European alternative that strengthens democratic discourse?

If projects like “EuroSky” move forward, will public funding be diverted there, instead of supporting and scaling the Fediverse?

Mastodon already exists and has millions of users, official EU servers, and institutional accounts. Why start from scratch when what works can be strengthened?

While platforms like #Matrix or #Signal manage user identities on a server, #DeltaChat and #Chatmail are not platforms in the classic sense. They operate without a central registry, meaning there is no central gatekeeper to grant or deny access. This setup for private messaging naturally complicates invasive age verification. Without a public registry or user discovery, there is no technical hook to verify users. #Chatmail also enforces E2EE by rejecting all unencrypted data. ... (1/3)
in reply to Delta Chat

The total privacy of #DeltaChat has a trade-off: there is no global directory. Connecting for private messaging requires a direct QR scan or using an existing channel to exchange invite links. The hurdle is often the readiness of friends, family, or those around you to switch. However, once connected, the app is an enjoyable daily driver. It is about moving to a space where you cannot be found by strangers, but can still enjoy modern, reliable chat with those who matter. ... (2/3)
in reply to Delta Chat

#DeltaChat breaks the one app, one ID rule of phone-number-based apps by supporting multiple chat profiles. This allows for true private messaging where you can keep a public identity for the Web or Fediverse separate from a private one for family and friends. Managing multiple selves is a new experience for many, but it is key to digital autonomy. We are working to make multi-profile handling even smoother in upcoming releases to ensure switching contexts is seamless. (3/3)

Supplì chain: i nuovi F-35 arrivano senza radar e i ritardi nell'aggiornamento dell'AN/APG-85 rendono necessario utilizzare la zavorra🤡

I nuovi caccia F-35 di quinta generazione stanno entrando in servizio presso l'Aeronautica Militare statunitense senza radar e vengono addirittura impiegati in questa configurazione. Il motivo è l'ennesimo ritardo del progetto e problemi di fornitura di componenti.

@gazzettadelcadavere l'F-35 ha sempre dato l'impressione di essere il canto del cigno dell'aeronautica USA.
Non è un caso che le pressioni USA per far morire il progetto italo-nippo-inglese GCAP stanno diventando sempre più insistenti e potrebbero produrre un'escalation drammatica

@news

in un'industria aeronautica potente come quella USAF mi viene difficile pensare che un progetto fallimentare (perché a conti fatti lo è, Imho) possa mettere in ginocchio un intero settore. Poi considera che comunque hanno tecnologie più avanzate di chiunque altro (salvo alieni), che si guardano bene dal condividere, e che nemmeno i jet serie J della Cina riescono a pareggiare. D'altro canto è forse proprio quello il tallone d'Achille, se si stacca un filo,o usano Uinzozz...

@gazzettadelcadavere mi sembra una analisi un po' superficiale. L'F-35 è uno dei migliori aerei di 5 generazione. Ha i suoi problemi normali per una macchina così complessa, ma fa il suo lavoro molto bene. Non mi pare che in questo settore gli USA siano in difficoltà, anzi. La Russia e anche la Cina rimangono molto distanti.
in reply to Jena

@sandropisano è ciò che ho scritto, ma rimane economicamente un fallimento, e come aggiunto in calce, la complessità può rivelarsi il suo punto debole sia dal punto di vista operazionale, che da quello dell'appetibilità da parte dei possibili compratori. Un F-35 non vola se gli USA non lo consentono.

@sandropisano @betelgeuse93 Gli "incidenti" di percorso nello.sviluppo ci sono sempre. Quando però iniziano ad essere troppi, evidentemente è un problema. Con l'affidabilità non si scherza (non è un caso che F16 sia ancora la prima.acelta per numerose nazioni), se un jet costa troppo e funziona non perfettamente è lecito avere dei dubbi. Se EU lasciasse da parte i nazionalismi (tutti, eh, mica solo la Francia come in questo caso), sarebbe molto più competitiva. My 2cents
in reply to Gazzetta del Cadavere

@gazzettadelcadavere l'F-35 sconta il fatto di essere il primo aereo progettato per essere riconfigurato facilmente in base all'utilizzo tattico, in un momento in cui la sostenibilità di un progetto ventennale cominciava a essere un problema per le nazioni NATO.
Quanto ai progetti "europei", intesi come di tutta la UE, semplicemente non possono esistere e l'unica soluzione è creare consorzi di massimo due o tre nazioni

@Imprinted tra poco no di certo... A parte che un programma per la realizzazione di un drone da combattimento vero (non i giocattoli che vediamo nella guerra russo-ucraina) costerebbe più o meno quanto il programma del F35, oggi solo due paesi avrebbero la copertura satellitare per di spiegare i droni a centinaia di chilometri da casa propria

...poi c'è il fattore economico, ovviamente il Trombetta vuole i nostri soldi e fino ad oggi i costi di sviluppo probabilmente non giustificavano un progetto nostrano come quello che hai nominato; tuttavia al giorno d'oggi è quasi impossibile svilupparne uno serio da soli, a meno che tu non sia Cina, Russia, UsA, ed infatti ci associamo ad altri, che hanno interessi simili.

Inspired by a discussion elsewhere:

I've been on the Internet since 1987, started a career building the commercial Internet in 1995, and have spent the last 25 years writing books about how to build foundational Internet infrastructure. I've consulted for and worked with any number of dot-coms, and the one lesson I've gotten over and over again?

The Internet's business model is betrayal.

We have no smart lights. No voice assistants. No Alexa or Siri. No video doorbell. Our thermostat and appliances constantly complain about their lack of Internet. None of this stuff is safe.

The Internet tech I do use? A desktop PC. Email on my phone is for travel only: airplane tickets, hotel reservations, hockey and concert tix. Location on my phone? Nope, we use a dedicated non-networked GPS in the car. The microphones are off.

How can a light bulb betray me? I don't know. I do know that the vendors have put a LOT of thought into it, though, and I can't out-think all of them.

@Liam Proven

Yes, [AI] represents a significant shift in how we build software, it moves us further away from how the underlying stuff actually works, but the benefits exceed the risks.


I don't know about that last one. If it weren't for the numerous massive externalities the current crop of AI currently has, it might have been easier to argue for it, but in the current situation, I don't think it's that clear-cut.

Of course it's easier to clump the people who are concerned about these never-before-seen externalities with the people who are averse to change in their craft in order to dismiss both wholesale.

in reply to Hypolite Petovan

@Liam Proven Also the difference between AI and the entirety of the technologies mentioned in this article is that machine learning (of which LLMs are an outcrop) is deliberately designed to obscure its inner working. It is a feature that makes it incredibly effective to reach its goal, but as a result even machine learning experts cannot explain how a system produced a given outcome, by design.

So "nobody can't understand everything" as a hand-waving for AI is terribly reductionist. We voluntarily made computer systems inaccurate in order to bring about God in the machine and we ended up with a shitty climate change acceleratory Eliza.

Phone Call That Triggered Trump’s Bridge Meltdown Revealed

Dunque, bella gente fediversica e mastodontica, mi ricordo benissimo di aver ricevuto diverse richieste, nel tempo, riguardanti la ricerca storica, ultima delle quali quella di @valhalla relativamente ai passaporti tra le varie "regioni" (semplifico) d'Italia ai tempi dell'unificazione.
Purtroppo, però, non ricordo l'ordine, né l'argomento, né il richiedente 😅

Quindi facciamo così: se avete #CuriositàStoriche scrivetemi qui sotto, così con ordine farò il possibile per rispondervi.

Haha...

Bryant said he didn’t believe in global warming, and climate change was a “hobgoblin” being used to scare people. “This is just a wet winter. We’ve had wet winters before,” he said.


Sorry mate, it's not going to stop because you don't believe in it.





“Many doctors have also criticized Dr. Attia’s credentials: He completed medical school and spent several years as a resident in general surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but dropped out before the residency was over, then left the medical field to work at McKinsey & Company and an energy company before opening his health care practice. He is not board certified in any specialty.”

Hi @activitypub.blog @pfefferle , the plugin is not publishing my blog (danstonchat.com) posts anymore on #actitiypub : @danstonchat.com

Last post here is from Jan 24, but since then, I published 4 posts on the website. They do not appear on any instance afaik.

The blog is hosted on wordpress.com (business plan) and always up-to-date.

Is there something I should check / do?

Thanks for any help! 🙏

in reply to remouk

do you use the classic or the block editor!?

if should default to "Public", the only exception is if you edit an old post that was not federated before... do you have a plugin that might hook into the publishing process and add an old date before it gets published?

in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

Block editor. ;)

Yes, the thing is, my website is based on user generated content, so users can submit posts, they are in a queue as "pending", and then, if good enough, I edit and publish them.

I guess the "visibility" setting did not exist before, and it is set to "do not federate" for old posts or posts that are not public?

in reply to remouk

Also, I did change the visibility for the 4 last posts, from "Do not federate" to "Public", but only the last one (from today) seems visible. 🤔 Is there some kind of cache or something? Thanks again
in reply to remouk

they will be federated through a WP_Cron, to not slow down publishing. If you have updated several posts at the same time, it can cause some delay in the process.
in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

Despite waiting a few hours, the posts are still not visible here. Is there anything else I should check? Thank you
in reply to remouk

you can update one of them. no need to change something, simply hit save.

but please only one at a time :)

in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

Ok done, updated one post! Still no luck. :/ I checked its visibility, it's "public". Any other idea?
in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

Sure, the one I updated is: danstonchat.com/quote/%f0%9f%a…

Also these 2 do not appear: danstonchat.com/quote/%f0%9f%a… and danstonchat.com/quote/%f0%9f%8…

in reply to remouk

I imported your posts into mastodon.social just fine, so it has to do with the distribution.
in reply to remouk

can you maybe install a plugin to check if there are some blocking crons in your wp installation?




It's been too long since I took a good photo with the bass guitar, so here is one from rehearsal yesterday.💜
My favourite bass line right now is probably from Feel Good Inc,by Gorillaz, which has also become my go-to to sing at Karaoke.

Can you recommend cool bass lines for beginners?

The Weight of Love by the Black Keys is not too difficult and very satisfying.

@Gargron RHCP's "Mellowship Slinky in B Major". "Throw Away Your Television" is also pretty easy. Very cool pic!




2026-01-14: Il giorno in cui telnet morì

Il 14 gennaio 2026, il traffico #telnet globale osservato dai sensori di GreyNoise è crollato. Una riduzione sostenuta del 59%, diciotto ASN completamente silenziosi e cinque paesi completamente scomparsi dai nostri dati. Sei giorni dopo, la CVE-2026-24061 è scomparsa. La coincidenza è una delle possibili spiegazioni.

Without school vaccine mandates, many kids may never see a doctor

Ugh 😩 I met my new doctor today, had my yearly exam, and got three vaccines. Now I feel like shit from the jabs, and lemme tell you...

I'd get them again in a fucking heartbeat, because science and social responsibility fucking rock 🤘

in reply to Renata

@benroyce @CppGuy I sometimes feel like crap after a vaccine, yeah. I sometimes feel like crap after I eat too much. Or during air travel. I always feel like crap after I drink wine now that I'm in my 40s. Feeling like crap once in a while is part of the human experience and you can't stop it from happening, especially if it brings something good - like staying healthy.
in reply to Renata

@renata @benroyce @CppGuy
I am waiting for my 2nd shingles shot. In the time since I got my 1st shot, my brother got shingles.

From what he went through, I'm not going to complain about the vaccine symptoms. It just isn't even in the same league.
