Tl;dr version of what's going on in #France today:
This pen and #LePen now have the same likelihood of becoming president of France in the next election.

"a Tesla Cybertruck is hurtling down a Hyperloop towards four people; Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu and J.D. Vance.
You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by putting something very heavy in front of it.
As it happens, there is Donald Trump next to you – your only way to stop the dumb thing is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save four.
Should you proceed?"

Question. This is a Tesla Model Y. A car first sold in europe in 2021.
It has a sticker saying: "I bought this before Elon went crazy". I've seen a couple of these the past weeks.
My first thought is "you didn't know this in 2021, when we've already had a couple of very public events where he acted the way he still does?!?"
What do you think when seeing this on very recently released cars?

Whenever I ask Mastodon a question about IT I end up feeling like a woman asking a very specific question about SETI@Home scripting in a 1999 internet chatroom*.
Anyway. Can the MS Teams and / or Okta apps be used to (partly) wipe data from an iPhone (without mdm).
*hint: she will not receive an answer nor return. She will however receive tips on how a trackball is superior to a mouse.

The Pantone color of the year 2025 is 'terracotta diarrhea'.

How about we load every single bit of national debt from European countries on Greenland and then sell it to the USA at the low one time cost of one (1) dollar, cash in hand no returns.
And we throw in a free Hungary as an incentive.
Isn't that the proper corporate way of doing stuff?

I don't use Pixelfed but until veeeery recently did have an Instagram account.
To celebrate its demise here's my entire account. All six photos I posted between 2012 and 2023. Descriptions in alt :-)

Thinking Southern-Ireland also has a good ring to it.
What would you rebrand the #USA to?

With the dumb #GulfofAmerica thing it might be time to rebrand the USA as North-Mexico :-)
Or maybe FreedomFries-The-Country? :-)

A Dutch colleague of mine told me about their holiday plan to fly to Paris and then to experience that "amazing long distance train" all the way to Berlin! In Berlin they'll only take trams and maybe rent bikes!
And then to fly back to Amsterdam.
She was not joking and I'm considering banging my head into a wall.

We got a Duplo train for baby. Turns out the adults play with it just as much 😁

🩸 We're in the hospital and just went through the process of taking blood from our baby. As the blood is sipped from the tiny fingers of a crying baby it's natural to wonder how this process can be improved.
It drives home how nefarious the fake optimism (one drop!) portrayed by Theranos / Elizabeth Holmes was. Don't we all want to believe things can get better?
Anyway. Book recommendation: Bad Blood by Carreyrou. A story about bad people & Kissingers grandson.

@straphanger Not bad. Their commitments are in line with providers like the Dutch NS (fully green electricity for some years, working on greening the "backup" solutions) and German DB (fully green for all long distance and some regions).

@slothrop this is what I normally do, and do get it right 🙂 For once I looked at recipes though, and "oiling the bowl" is a recurring line item.
