"We did what we did not by accident, and we will not return the money to them."
Hungary's minister just confirmed the seizure of $40M+ in Ukrainian state funds was a deliberate operation - and threatened to do it again until Russia's Druzhba pipeline reopens.

For several years now, public EV charging points in Amsterdam have also been used to provide temporary power supplies for construction projects and events, for example. The city is now actively promoting this as an alternative to diesel generators on construction sites.

I have no clue how ya'll actually FULLY clean your fountain pens, like, fully residue-free.
By now I've accepted I'll just need a seperate converter for each ink, as I don't have the feeling any non-metal part ever gets fully clean with just water.
Ah well, time to let it all rest in water over night for the occasional ink refresher. π π

Where are the Thinkpad people on the fediverse? Iβm becoming slightly open to the idea of having a computer that isnβt a MacBook, for the first time in, well, since Macs. Apparently the Thinkpad is the one to go for but I now discover they have a whole load of numbers and letters.
Looking at the specifications on YouTube for βgreatest Thinkpad everβ or βThinkpad to install Linux onβ type of videos it looks to me that theyβre fine for boring office stuff but Iβm using Macs for art and design, and the thinkpads they all mention seem to have basic non-retina screens.
I should point out that Iβve never ever used the βwindowsβ OS, so have never used non Mac computers, but Iβve slightly used Linux as a user (not an expert) since the turn of the century but not on a serious level for art, not while Iβve got Macs sitting around.
Is there an ideal Thinkpad for Linux for art and design? That doesnβt cost too much? Thatβs still maintainable and repairable? #Thinkpad#Thinkpads

As someone who does UPS-style deliveries using a Chevy Bolt, I can tell you the efficiencies are the best reason to go hybrid or electric, and any business owner who's not considering it is a fool

Day 8, can we keep this up? Well, we can definitely keep rocking, with I Need A Lover, a song I associate with Pat Benatar, don't we all? However it was written and first recorded by Johnny Mellencamp on his first album in Australia, but not released until his second album in the US.. If'n that name sounds familiar, yep, its the name John Cougar Mellencamp originally went by. I've heard his version, but I still can't see anyone else but her singing it, and it was on her debut album.

Gov Katie Hobbs struck a blow for sanity in #Arizona, vetoing an attempt to create a Turning Point Arizona license plate in memory of Charlie Kirk. They also refuse to allow a Sons of the Confederacy license plate in Arizona, thank goodness.

Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Anyone know of an avatar software I could use for my videos? I typically do short talking head videos on my Android phone, and thought it'd be fun to replace m'self with my fursona, or perhaps my ponysona or even have a choice of my characters. I did a quick web search, and everything I found is AI which seems unnecessary and likely overkill for simple motion tracking and animation, since I don't expect its motions or mouth movement to be an exact match to mine.

We have a button with a dropdown list to perform actions (publish, unpublish, etc.) on selected items. The button is disabled when no items are selected. What is correct: disabled or aria-disabled? If aria-disabled, do we need to put more information on the button apart from the name "actions"?
I have already read some explanations, but I'm still unsure.
