American, but you like ISO metric projection? Curious

At the beginning of this year, Kevin Roose, @caseynewton.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy and PJ Vogt launched a fediverse instance, The Forkiverse. Now, they're shutting it down.

Here's PJ's conversation with @mmccue.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy for #DotSocial about the experiment.

@publicdomainrev it's beautiful

To help with the Forkiverse experiment, the Search Engine/Hard Fork teams talked to two experts: @evan@cosocial.ca and @iftas.org@bsky.brid.gy's Jaz-Michael King.

please feel free to make this movie, graphic novel, what have you

years ago I thought up a plot for a historical-fiction comedy film or something

Mid-20th century US: a few out-of-work fashion designers & photographers & editors find out that a painter friend is getting CIA money to do abstract expressionist painting, + a fiction teacher pal in Iowa is getting government funding for similar soft power reasons. They put together a hoax that the Soviet Union is trying to infiltrate Western fashion and get all our women to wear saggy grey &c., diminishing American beauty, undermining our culture, etc.

they successfully pitch US intelligence and ask for funding for their magazine/shows/etc. to counter the Soviet Fashion Menace

climax is at a big international conference/expo where they find out there are a ton of other groups all over both sides of the Cold War running the same scams on their governments to get funding for dance, music, sculpture, photography, all the fine arts, and all collude to keep it going

On a fini de construire le dressing 🥳
Pour pas avoir trop de choix à faire on a pris exactement le même papier peint que chez Leroy Merlin, et les mêmes couleurs que le modèle d’exposition 👌

Another successful week, by at least one measure.

Hello folks!

We've just made a security bugfix release of #GoToSocial, v0.22.2 Shrubbiest Sloth!

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.2

We recommend everyone on v0.22.1 and lower who uses two-factor authentication (2FA) for their account to update to this release ASAP. We fixed a two-factor authentication (2FA) security bug whereby an attacker who already knows a victim's email address + password, ie., the first factor authentication, could bypass having to input a code from an authenticator app, ie., the second factor of authentication, and obtain an OAuth token for that account. This bug only affects 2FA, and again, only in cases where an attacker already knows their victim's email address + password.

Update instructions are in the release notes: it's a nice easy update if you're already on v0.22.x; and if you're already on main snapshots, just update to latest commits and you're good.

Thanks for reading <3

@niclake on the previous VW generations, the driver had only 2 buttons for the front windows and needed to press another to switch them to control the back windows. This new generation gets us back 4 buttons, and has been noticed by all reviewers 😀
@siracusa @dmoren

@siracusa having a new ID3.Neo since last week, which uses the same platform and their new design principles as the new Tiguan, I can confirm it’s a pleasure to use and checks all your boxes. Really happy to have an EV without those futuristic gimmicks. Real door handles! Physical buttons on the steering wheel and for the main controls! No shiny black plastic (except on the key…)
