Merz says he won't put pride flags on Bundestag for pride. So BVG (the Berlin public transportation company) put pride flags all over the Bundestag station 😂

I wrote some weekend words on why you should think twice before allowing AI access to your email, calendar, or any other personal data. This may seem obvious to some, but perhaps not to others: the privacy and security risks just aren't worth it.

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!

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. vixivulpixel Follow Noted: misogyny is a skill issue

This four-panel comic uses simple cartoon illustrations to convey a powerful message about shared humanity. **Panel 1:** Shows three distinct cartoon figures – a boy with blue hair and glasses, a pink-haired boy, and a green-haired boy – all smiling. The text above reads “WE MAY LOOK DIFFERENT.” **Panel 2:** This panel features three thought bubbles above the characters. One has a square shape, another a raindrop, and the third a star. The text says "WE MAY THINK DIFFERENT." **Panel 3:** Three figures are holding hands in a circle, all smiling. The words “BUT INSIDE US, WE HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON” appear below them. **Panel 4:** Finally, there’s a small, simple cartoon figure – a pale blue blob – with the words "MICRO PLASTICS" written across its body. This represents a shared environmental concern. The comic uses visual differences to highlight that despite outward appearances and thoughts, everyone shares a fundamental connection, symbolized by the common threat of microplastics.
