heads up: there's been a major recall of condoms across multiple brands, due to risk of tearing; this includes some brands that show up at sex shops, such as joydivision, so it's not just stuff bought online
this is the list of those recalled in the netherlands: https://www.productwaarschuwing.nl/2026/11/belangrijke-veiligheidswaarschuwing-condooms-diverse-merken/ -- I am not sure if the list is bigger elsewhere (apparently the warning originates from france) but I couldn't find another source with an equally easy-to-read table
notably the problem was with a *supplier*, not a specific brand, so quite a few different brands are affected and the recall may be further extended in the near future
On today’s sun-bathed trip to #Roskilde I ran into this fine spiral artwork by Oskar Koliander and things seemed kind of good.
@jonassmith gorgeous photos Jonas! 🙌
Hmm, first ilands AI thing joined my forum...
@morchwyn they at least tend to use the same email provider, which can be used to block them en masse.

A tiny class of politically engaged people watch these swings & say, "oh, everyone agrees with my side!" Then next election, "oops, everyone agrees with the other side!" But the basic condition of the electorate is angry ignorance, not any consistent ideology. It's flailing all the way down.
The very basic root model of politics that politically engaged people, pundits & pols alike, cling to -- "listen to voters, do what they want, they will reward you" -- is broken. It's a mirage. No one knows how to cut through or diminish the miasmatic discontent. "Results" don't seem to do it.

Chief O'Brien solves the puzzle onboard a derelict space station but actually is the reason why we cry.
The Republicans won't get away with dumping this on Hegseth. Trump has ensured that pretty well every department and agency is now headed by the very last people any sane person would put in charge. And that's no accident. He has set out to destroy the concept of responsible government.

Just upgraded my personal instance to v5.0.0-beta.1.
For the most part, I think the new layout is okay but not great. I really dislike the forced horizontal scrolling when clicking on a post to view when using the advanced web interface. I think some of that could be negated if the search field and instance information didn't have its own dedicated column.
The search field *ought* to be in the first column and the server information could be an icon link that opens a modal.

Friends, I am planning to be in LONDON from mid-March to mid-April 2027, a rare opportunity to get me far from my sunny home :). I am looking for something in particular: I have some space between existing work, and I'd love to visit an engineering org or team that wants to hear about the Psychology of Software Teams. This could be an internal keynote, or a fireside chat about the book; my publisher and I are more than happy to do book bundles for events. Reach out if this is for you!
@grimalkina I will happily ask around!
Algú s'enrecorda encara de Maricarmen?
Ja no pregunto per la resta però de Maricarmen encara hi ha qui s'enrecordi?
@vmateusimeon no ha servit per a millorar el PSOE en les enquestes, cartutx cremat.
@liaizon have they provided actual evidence of who they are?
@CordiallyChloe we are chatting, I don't have a single reason to believe that they are not who they claim to be other then you and random posts on reddit. and you have no basis for your claim other then you have seen other accounts from the same place.
Uns besorgt, wie abhängig Medien und Aktivismus von den Kommunikationskanälen von BigTech sind. Im Fediverse sehen wir eine Alternative.
Wir ermutigen Vereine, Medien, Kollektive und Einzelpersonen am 05. November umzusteigen:
1. Profil im Fediverse einrichten
2. anderswo bewerben
3. ab jetzt hier zu posten
Das Projekt ist auch ein Testlauf mit einem Fokus auf die Deutschschweiz: Wir wollen Erfahrungen sammeln, wie der Umstieg vereinfacht werden kann.
Wie gelingen Erklärungen und Überzeugungsarbeit? Welche Bubbles fühlen sich hier wohl? Kann das Fediverse die notwendige Willkommenskultur?
Vielleicht mögt ihr ja unterstützen :)

It’s not about being vindictive, or looking for payback, but a reconciliation of the many crimes committed against the American people, the corruption of our institutions, and the pillaging of the public coffers. Criminals must be help accountable, especially when they’ve broken the public trust.
