If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

@catsalad Burger King is a good place to get some GRUB.

A Burger King sign. The electronic sign below it says
"error: unknown
Entering rescue"
The next line is cut off halfway, but we recognize it as
"grub rescue>"

Screenshot of a PlayStation achievement trophy for the game “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.” The trophy is titled “The Greatest Expedition in History,” and it was awarded for obtaining all other trophies in the game. It was unlocked on June 7 2025 at 9:01am.(Digitally altered meme.) Ben Wyatt, a disheveled-looking character from the show “Parks and Recreation,” says “Do you think a depressed person could make this?” as he holds out my screenshot of getting all the trophies in the video game “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.”

@dumbergerl I use DuckDNS and haven't had any issues, I use the @linuxserver container if that helps.

Recently have more than doubled the price of my train ticket to work! It's £13 on Trainline but it's still £6.50 on the app.

I'd heard of people complaining about Trainline prices before but it had always been the same price for me until recently.

To more than double the price is absolutely shocking.

I love that this site has remained just nerds being nerds. Bluesky has become insufferable and Threads is a mess.

Heads up if you're in the UK:

Google Wallet now lets you create an ID pass from your passport.

Google has partnered with Rail Delivery Group to allow train travelers to use this digital ID to verify you meet the eligibility criteria for select Railcards.

It's also working with the UK govt to allow you to use this ID pass for alcohol purchases.

(This was announced back in April but I just heard from a person in the UK that it's now available. Thanks, Gavin!)

Scotland made buses free for under 23s and it's driven record attendance at soccer games and a decade+ reduction in average age of attendees.

Free public transport has huge ramifications for society and the economy.

I hope US folks on the No Kings rallies know how much people outside the US are heartened to see them. We always knew the US is full of very fine people who totally reject and revile what's happening, but my god it's good to see it.

"Scientists create the world's smallest violin."

No really!

I'm sure we'll all be getting a lot of use out of this.

@wendyg @james @cubicgarden @yunohost yeah I totally agree there's a huge difference between putting a self hosted solution in the cloud compared to using a service - even though neither are self hosted.

I think we're just lacking a term in that space to describe that eloquently, not trying to detract from the fact that it's a really good thing to do and is much better than running managed services

@james @cubicgarden @wendyg @yunohost something isn't self-hosted if it's on AWS. I agree we need a term to better describe the difference though! Self-owned or self-controlled or something
