Picture 1: I kept wondering why rapper and undocumented immigrant Nicki Minaj was supporting the father of deportation and helping him promote the Melania movie.

Picture 2: Nicki Minaj just posted that Trump gave her a Trump Gold Card, meaning he fast tracked her US citizenship so ICE would not deport her to her home country, Trinidad and Tobago.

The US farmers may lose all their workers to deportation, but thanks to Trump they can now go to a Nicki Minaj concert while the farm goes bankrupt.

Fact check: Is the EU launching a social media platform called #WSocial?

🔗 : https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/01/29/fact-check-is-the-eu-launching-a-social-media-platform-called-w

"A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, that the EU is not launching or funding any social media platform, and that there is currently no EU-backed project called "W"

[...] W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

Packing for #FOSDEM 🥳

I have so many items of clothing promoting the Fediverse that I could change outfits multiple times a day 😂

If anyone is interested in a forest green sweatshirt that says "the future is federated" (size small, unisex) let me know. I had it remade (comped) because v1 came out differently than my mockup.

I'll have it with me tomorrow, just ask.

See you around! I'm sooo exciteeeeeed

How dependent is Europe on US tech giants for core digital infrastructure like the Digital Euro?
In Das Parlament, Prof. Christian Grothoff warns:
🛑 As long as it’s built on proprietary tech digital sovereignty remains an illusion.
✅ The answer? Critical public infrastructure must be built on Free Software.

Ho vissuto per qualche mese nella tendopoli di un paesino terremotato.
Mi ha sempre commosso l’abruzzesità della signora Elena, la quale, datasi una sommaria ripulita e assettate due cose fuori posto, ha tempestivamente e abusivamente dotato il paese in trasferta nelle tende del vero bene di prima necessità da quelle parti: il Bar H.
Di nome e di fatto, una baracca con le bottiglie dentro.

@oblomov@sociale.network @cstross@wandering.shop @jwz@mastodon.social Consider that Mozilla being cooked has a few decades of history.

Back around 2007ish, I was working with a few folk who either came from or later went to Mozilla. Anyhow, some of them were involved with the XHTML 2.0 spec.

Which was finished.

But then got ditched.

Because Googleites insisted a "living spec" was the right thing, which can only be implemented by whoever throws the most money at it, and we now have HTML5 and a browser engine monopoly.

And Mozilla?

Crossing the Line: It Really Is Safer in the Front

On Saturday, January 24, in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, demonstrators gathered outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon.

A participant describes the experience of collectively crossing the line into resistance and discovering that, when everyone does this together, our oppressors’ power evaporates.

https://crimethinc.com/ReallySafer

"In the middle of the chaos, someone yelled, 'It’s safer in the front!' The crowd surged forward together, larger and more unified than before.

"What happened that night was grief turning into action. It was rage turning into protection. It was the understanding that when the government murders someone for defending others, the only moral response is to stand up. Together.

"As a consequence of that kind of solidarity, not one single person was snatched by the feds for crossing their blue line."
