Wir brauchen dringend eure Hilfe: Bea ist Alleinerziehend & steht seit August ohne jeden Cent da! Das Jobcenter verweigert ihr noch bis Dezember das Bürgergeld. Sie hat kein Geld für Lebensmittel, keine Krankenversicherung & ihr drohen Mietschulden. Wir gehen der Sache mit unserem Anwalt nach und überbrücken solange Beas Regelsatz + den des Kindes + Miete aus unserem Solitopf. Wir brauchen erstmal für Aug. & Sep. 3000 €. Helft uns dabei: https://sanktionsfrei.de/support
Hintergrund: Vonovia erhöhte Beas Miete auf 1200€, woraufhin das Jobcenter sie zum Umzug aufforderte. Unter Druck kündigte sie & stand kurz vor der Obdachlosigkeit. Die einzige Wohnung, die sie fand, kostet 850€. Das Jobcenter lehnte ab, weil die Miete auch über der Angemessenheitsgrenze liegt. Sie hatte keine Wahl & zog ein. Notgedrungen zahlte Bea Kaution & Umzug mit dem extra dafür frühzeitig ausgezahlten Kindesunterhalt. Das Jobcenter rechnet das aber als „Einkommen“ an und verweigert seitdem ALLE Zahlungen bis Dezember. Sogar Lebensmittelgutscheine wurden abgelehnt! Das Jobcenter muss SOFORT die Leistungen auszahlen und die Existenz von Mutter & Kind sichern!
Journalist*innen aus Niedersachsen, Norddeutschland, Braunschweig und bundesweit – schaut euch diesen Fall an! Meldet euch bei uns: presse@sanktionsfrei.de für weitere Details, wir brauchen Unterstützung! Damit Fälle wie der von Bea nicht untergehen, brauchen wir Öffentlichkeit & Druck!
I'm relaying this message on behalf of a non-white friend for their safety:
@queergamesbundle chose a racist, enslavement-supporting poem by Walt Whitman to represent the QGB, and their responses to numerous callouts have been poor to doubling down.
They could have said "oh good point" and deleted the posts, quoted any number of poems that aren't a sexualization of enlaved Black folks by a notable racist (yes he was an abolitionist and not straight but that doesn't actually make the -

@Her_Doing @madgeface Respectfully, I totally disagree. I support @cwebber ‘s original post. JKR is not equal in power to any of us. She’s a behemoth of resources and tragically huge influence. This current sentiment is further contextualized by our larger systems choosing to protect her over, say, my trans child and other trans loved ones.
An “ill will” campaign does nothing to her but unites others who sit in the shared pain of her actions. Solidarity with everyone who wishes her power gone.

I encourage everyone to wish ill will upon JK Rowling, here and, if you have a Bluesky account, please do so there as well. If you get suspended, please share that information here.

In 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Norway, Denmark, France) Schengen is effectively dead since 9 years in a row. These countries have filed (overlapping) exceptions with various reasons, meaning that they had continuous border controls on internal borders. Something that according to the Schengen Agreement should be a very rare exception in very exceptional times.

@Natanox @librecast @EU_Commission We're continuing to work on both research and practical deployments for multicast, funded by @nlnet and @NGIZero
We need to make some more noise about the work we're doing and make it easier for others to get involved. Was just discussing this with @onepict this morning 😉

Where did you hear this?
EUMetSat is very much committed to multicast for delivering weather data. I was discussing it only yesterday with the Chair of the MBONED working group.
The CTO of EUMetSat said in June this year that to use unicast CDNs would cost "an order of magnitude" more.
Multicast is very much alive and well, and deployments increasing as data flows increase.
I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
The things I learn, even at my age, simply by reading documentation are WILD!
