Could use some help and support
I'm kinda having a problem over here, my husband @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe just passed away a few hours ago. Unfortunately in our life he was the chaos and I was the order, and he left me no arrangements, estate info, etc.
Yeah, I know, sounds like I'm moving fast, but as I said, I was the order, the solver of problems, the planner, plotter and schemer, as such, the only way I can really handle this is to fix what I can fix, try to make some order here, and keep moving.
I'm working on figuring things out, if'n anyone can point me to some good resources for how to handle this, I could use them. If'n your local and want to help me, I could use some help obviously as I'm dealing with a hoarder who didn't share much information with me unless I thought to ask. Oh, and I have a memory like a sieve, so that only makes the situation worse.
For those wondering if'n I need any financial help or anything like that, I'm fine, I was in charge of that, so I've got enough for I think 3-4 months with zero income, and obviously at some point I'll get back to working.
I have contacted @Bitwarden 's support to see if'n its possible to get access to his vault, as that'll allow me to sort out his private life.
Honda's super low-cost electric motorcycle revealed in new patent
Interesting, basically an electric version of an existing product, I wonder if'n it could be a foreshadowing of their future plans at the lower end of the market, I mean imagine an electric Grom or one of the other bikes in that group, that could get really interesting.

Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform
Interesting, I wonder what the final product will look like, and whether anyone will try to copy it or de-Google it. IIRC both ChromeOS and Android are based on modified Linux kernels with different focuses, so it'll be interesting to see how that works together.

ATLANTA (AP) โ A week after an immigration judge granted him bond, a Spanish-language journalist who was arrested while covering a protest last month remains in federal custody.
Police just outside Atlanta arrested Mario Guevara while he was covering a protest on June 14, and he was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement several days later. He was being held at an immigration detention center in Folkston โ in southeast Georgia, near the Florida border โ when an immigration judge last week granted him bond.
But when his family tried to pay the $7,500 bond last week, ICE didnโt accept it and he has since been shuffled between three other jails, his lawyer Giovanni Diaz said.

My office is a part of our living room and my lovely partner, Tony has a habit of spotting me at my desk, forgetting that I'm working and wafting in to tell me science facts. (Usually about singularities, black holes and binary stars of late.) And while I love a good science fact, the primal roar that I emit when interrupted mid-sentence edit is apt to terrify the average science fact imparting bunny to a premature bunny death.
SO! This was Tony's solution. An autopilot caltrop! I love it.
It's sitting in the door of my office/our living room whenever I'm working and HE SHALL NOT PASS!

China is carrying out the solar revolution at scale. Here panels float on a reservoir in northwest China. This is just one of many massive solar power plants. The photos look like something out of science fiction:
theatlantic.com/photography/arโฆ
Meanwhile Trump is fighting solar and pushing coal. The Chinese call him ็นๆๆฎ, "Comrade Jianguo". Literally this means "Comrade Building the Nation". It's a joke about "Make America Great Again". It hints that Trump is actually helping China.
Photos: The Scale of Chinaโs Solar-Power Projects
As the Trump administrationโs โBig, Beautiful Billโ eliminates many clean-energy incentives in the U.S., China continues huge investments in wind and solar power, reportedly accounting for 74 percent of all projects now under construction worldwide.Alan Taylor (The Atlantic)

Our house is old enough to have a coal room. Of course the coal shute has been filled in and I use the space to store stuff. I don't need the energy density of battery technology best reserved for portable objects and vehicles when the old coal room could be battery storage.

Aren't they doing this under someone who has declared himself immune?
Since SCOTUS allowed for that, they might have a hell of a time stopping this one. They're simply acting as agents for someone who has set the immunity precedence multiple times at SCOTUS approval already.
To a significant degree, SCOTUS is at fault for empowering Trump to carry on this way.

A pity, he doesnโt do neither nor. At least, not as long as thereโs something to win for himself.
Unfortunately, that's not practical. So much of that money is essentially in micro payments. Individual tax withholdings, excise taxes on gasoline and tires, etc.

Simon Tatham on MastodonGeneral reminder:
The domain name putty.org is NOT run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.
Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtathโฆ and it always has been.
You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.
Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

As Heather Cox Richardson reports today, we now know that the day after the lethal floods occurred in Texas, Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies answering emergency calls for FEMA help โ so that on July 6, FEMA answered only 35.8% of the calls it received and the following day, only 15.9%:

On July 5, the day after the Texas floods hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received 3,027 calls from survivors and answered 3,018 of them, about 99.7%, according to Maxine Joselow of the New York Times.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)

"Noem allowed other critical parts of the flood response to wait for days as well. Earlier this week, multiple officials within FEMA told CNN that she waited more than 72 hours to authorize the deployment of search and rescue teams and aerial imaging."

Are there other local store-front businesses in the fediverse, specifically in Centertown and the Glebe but also Ottawa in general?
on the other networks, there is a private group that shares photos of thieves to give other businesses a head's up
we were wondering if there were others here who would appreciate us sharing such information?
reason is: we caught some pretty grevious examples of blatant thieving on our new video cameras, following our suspicions, and want to make good use of the footage
we also really want to put up full-page sized prints of their faces in a frame on our "Wall of Shame" to deter others, but have #questionsOverLegality

The image is a black and white political cartoon. On the left, a man in a suit stands behind a podium labeled "All-American Church of the Religious Right." He is smiling and gesturing towards a large framed portrait on the right. The portrait depicts a muscular figure with a halo, wearing a tank top with an American flag and a heart with "Tax Cuts" written on it. The figure holds a rifle and stands in front of a backdrop with the words "The Rich Get Richer" and "Tax Cuts" on banners. The background includes a small image of a child and the words "AM RADIO" and "WAL-MART." The man in the suit has a speech bubble saying, "We decided we needed a portrait of Jesus more in tune with our politics!" The cartoonist's signature, "Horsey," is in the top right corner.
