Winning streak extended for Japan’s LGBTQ+ community
Earlier this year Japan's Sapporo High Court ruled that the government’s policy against same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, and now Tokyo's High Court has labelled the ongoing ban β€œa groundless legal discrimination based on sexual orientation." The victory creates more pressure on the government to legalise same-sex marriage. AP buff.ly/4hGV9zN

This Florida couple’s home was flooded during Hurricane Helene β€” paid insurance for 12 years but a 3.5-inch step down to living room meant claim was denied. Here’s the β€˜laughable’ reason why | Moneywise

After Hurricane Helene flooded their home, a Tampa couple’s insurance claim was denied because their sunken living room was deemed a basement. Now, they’re fighting back, challenging the policy's definition. Could your home face the same coverage risk?

Time to become anti-consumerist


I'm all for this and more, I think it's time to stop being a consumer. Sure, buy it if'n you need it, buy it if'n you want it, really want it, not because an ad told you you wanted it, but keeping the buying to a minimum.

WalMart, Amazon and many others helped put Trump in the White House, let's make sure it costs them.

Interesting, I see this being used in cell phones, though exactly how is a good question

Well that's embarrassing...


Ummm, I broke the admin account over here on #friendica . I can proudly say I'm an idiot.

Why?
Well, my host agreed to put up the pack of Friendica themes that's out there, and I had the brilliant idea to try one of them... using the admin account. Firefox now loads a blank web page, and Chromium spits back a 500 error. Ummm, hopefully my host knows a way to fix this. In one way it's good, if they can restore that account to an hour ago, it'll fix it without changing anything appreciably, the only thing I've done over there other than the theme was turn off the Tumblr plug in since I couldn't get that to work.

Most of us couldn't do that job! It's awesome that you're willing to go to all that time and trouble to make and run an instance for others to use.

@β„π• π•“π•šπ•Ÿ Nah, this one's just a private hosted one, I finally found someone who offers hosted Friendica, so I don't have to do much technical stuff, that's kinda beyond me. In a way that creates the problem here, I only have admin access, not server access, and I broke that admin page.
