Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! đŸ›€ïž
This morning we added a small but meaningful feature:
🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available.
âžĄïž Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍
It will be available in next release to test it out!

Do not lose faith in humanity. Lose faith in capitalism and its mercenaries who insist that there is no other way.

Sometimes y’all, there is the perfect meme.

Edit: I've been informed that this is an excerpt from @hyratel 's Tumbler, which is here: https://www.tumblr.com/hyratel/780243434044784640/my-granddad-had-a-wand-of-iron-filigree-that-gave

A picture of a conversation thread: 

mug-of-beans:
"The old magic persists thanks to it's unfathomable power."

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb.

aqueerkettleofish:
Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the oid magic.

wizard-council-bureaucrat:
Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

wizard-archivist-official:
The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.
The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.
Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

charlesoberonn:
You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.
You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

Male behavior towards female gamers
See also: Sexism in video gaming
A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards teammates with a female voice, but behaved more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand, behaved more positively towards female players. The authors argued the male hostility towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour from poor performing males who stand to lose the most status". (100]
Still the best gaming fact.

Noted: misogyny is a skill issue

Protip from a 32 yo woman who has a STEM degree and almost all male-coded hobbies: If a man starts testing* you about your interests, hobbies, or job, don’t engage him — just walk away. Those men are not worth a single ounce of effort and you aren’t required to justify yourself to anyone.

*Think the type of guy who hears you like Band and immediately goes, “Oh yeah? What were Band’s first three albums???” as some sort of gotcha

Das Desaster um die Wahlen zu den Bundesverfassungsrichter*innen hat es so noch nicht gegeben! @BriHasselmann macht im klar, wer dafĂŒr verantwortlich ist: Jens Spahn & Friedrich Merz.

Why don't politicians in general admit that we must ?

> In some ways its astonishingly simple. We allowed the collective management of the national interest to be corrupted by the idea that naked would provide more wealth for ‘everyone’, infamously, it would ‘trickle down’. It did no such thing. It never will. It only ever gushed rapidly upwards. We need a reset.

Die AfD nutzt die Fußball-EM der Frauen, um auf dem RĂŒcken der Spielerinnen ihre Hetze voranzutreiben. Die Entgleisungen des AfD-Politikers Daniel Wald sind kein Einzelfall. Eva von Angern, Vorsitzende der Linksfraktion im Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt hat nun Strafanzeige gegen Wald erstattet.

Hold up. Didn’t this fool just get 100k in mutual aid funding

This dude is deranged.

Das rechtskonservative deutsche BĂŒrgertum kommt zu sich selbst. Endlich wieder offen mit den Faschisten feiern.

10. Gibt es belastbare Daten, die zeigen, dass die bisher angeworbenen FachkrĂ€fte die erwarteten LĂŒcken im Arbeitsmarkt im Gesundheitswesen schließen konnten, und wenn ja, wie hoch ist die tatsĂ€chliche Verweildauer dieser FachkrĂ€fte in ihren ArbeitsverhĂ€ltnissen und in Deutschland insgesamt?

Seit dem Jahr 2022 wird das BeschĂ€ftigungswachstum in der Pflege ausschließlich von AuslĂ€nderinnen und AuslĂ€ndern getragen.

Unser Kanzler, dieser Prachtkerl!

A question for all non-Note focused developers and thinkers:

Should we ever think of a way how to embed ActivityPub objects into others (in the content)? E.g. embedding a Question object within a long Article?

A beautiful initiative; wishing them success!!

As a 65yo, I have achieved a certain hard-earned wisdom that may have eluded you. I will share:

1) Just get up and go pee, it's not goin' away.

2) Start the fitted sheet at the hardest-to-reach corner.

3) If you get a cold drink, only to discover that you already had one, drink the coldest one first.

4) Work and feel shitty, or don't-work and don't feel shitty. Don't-work and feel shitty is a lousy choice.

5) Being weird is, in fact, a perfectly normal thing to be. *Everyone* does it.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

@mr_daemon if they are without DRM they’re not dead but “immortal games”. 😉
