@kkremitzki sadly it’s going to be a very long time before we see another debconf in the US. If ever.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that #IPv6 just works at my sister's house, with its basic residential internet service from Spectrum. No hoops to jump through, nothing to opt in to, it's just a default part of the service. My sister almost certainly doesn't even know it's there.

@georgetakei Weird Al's classic "Dare to be Stupid" could be their theme song.

Poignant video retrospective and farewell to GT Bicycles from Hans "No Way" Rey. Hans and GT defined mountain biking in the 1990's. GT's demise has been a long time coming, but really marks the end of an era. youtube.com/watch?v=nIHRHPU12y I was scheduled to lead I group ride with Hans at the Kenda Bicycle Festival in western Massachusetts back in 2006 or something, but he was scratched from the schedule due to (IIRC) a personal loss. #mtb #mountainbike #freeride #hansrey

At least 38 DOGE members work, or have worked, for one of Elon Musk’s companies.

Meanwhile, nearly two dozen DOGE officials are making cuts to the same federal agencies that regulate the industries that employed them.

@briankrebs It’s the deep state with their weather machines again, isn’t it?

@ricci And even the facts are apparently subjective.

@wollman In New Hampshire, actually, I think. Right near the border near White River Junction.

I saw a guy wearing a Free Luigi shirt today and it made me happy.

@szakib @subm3rge yeah, I took them off. Super bummed, as they seem like great tires and I was excited to try them. They just don't fit, though, regardless of how hard I squint.

Today may have been the final school drop off with the cargo bike. The older kid rode his own bike all year, and the younger one may be moving to a new school that's a bit out of range for the bike. This bike has been their primary school transportation for basically as long as the kids have been in school, across multiple schools in states on both coasts. #cargobike #kidsonbikes #bittersweet

A well used long-tail cargo bike, set up for kid transport. A kids helmet hangs from one of the bars.

There's clearance, but not much! Just finished mounting a pair of René Herse Corkscrew Climb tires on my gravel bike. I'm hoping that these are what I run at the Belgian Waffle Ride in Montana later this month. #cycling #gravelbike #belgianwaffleride

Photo showing very little clearance between the tire and the seatstay bridge on a bicycle.

@thegibson @tomjennings The Great Annihilator is one of the best albums of all time, IMO.

@juliank My rule of thumb in that case is that the "big one" aligns with the stem, with the secondary logo being opposite. I don't know if I picked that up somewhere or just made it up.

@juliank The left picture is correct.

@purpleidea I don't love the idea. But the intro kinda makes me love the idea.

"Ice can end". Spotted on the corner of Mission and 18th in SF. This is one of Sapien's "Magic Acrostic Squares" that can be read left to right, or top to bottom. #SFGraffiti #AbolishIce #Graffiti #MagicAcrosticSquares #Sapien
Large graffiti on a wall in San Francisco. The text has three words, Ice, Can, and End, written in a 3 by 3 square. So the words can be read from left to right, or from top to bottom. The letters are on a wall filled with other graffiti pieces by other artists.

@lauren Wow. They are truly terrified of crossing Trump. Organizations like FOX and others on the right call people worse names than that on a routine basis. ABC News has been pretty good in the past. This is super disappointing.

The "stick-poking" meme, where the guy with the stick is poking the National Rifle Association logo & saying "C'mon, do a Resist Tyranny"

It really bothers me that the media is still referring to prisoners as "undocumented" migrants/immigrants, despite it being well-known at this point that we're canceling green cards and visas specifically to imprison people. Not to mention also throwing people into gulags when they attempt to renew their documentation. mastodon.social/@yuhasz01/1146
