The one thing that struck anybody having conversations with anyone involved in the Trump team, from lowly researchers to senior advisers, was the unanimity of hatred about Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government. There was no pretence, no attempt to hide it.

Simple competition gaslighting. The bigger the better.

It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

Finally added image uploading, so this is going to be my first update post with images I'll be able to write all on Alexandrite :D

As mentioned in the post you can now attach images to things, this means both on the post via the file selector like on lemmy-ui:

Or you can attach images by pasting or using the upload button to insert an image in the markdown editor (post text, comments, etc).

You can also set your avatar and banner on the Lemmy tab of Settings

Banners on communities and users now show in the feed header instead of a smaller image at the top of the sidebar.

The sorting of communities when selecting one to make a new post (both the alphabetization of your subscribed communities and the popularity sorting of the search results) is better.

Fixed a 400 error that was happening when viewing modlog actions on a user.

This was the biggest change in quite a while, so please let me know if you have any issues with the update! Thanks for all the support, love hearing people like the stuff I'm making :)

If I broke a rule, I apologize, but I'd like to know what I did. Yesterday, I posted a user-generated map of ICE agent sightings and Lemmy.world's automod immediately deleted the post and banned me from the entire site. I have no idea why that post, above all my other interactions with !resist@fedia.io, warranted a sitewide ban. Is it because I changed the title to blame a vile subreddit when the map went down? I really hope it isn't partisan bias.

Obviously for Northern Hemisphere folks here. Where I am, it has been mostly below freezing, a little snow but not enough to pe pretty or good to play in. It's mostly indoor activities. I work out at the gym, play board games, have random get togethers with friends. What do you do?

The sale of United States military equipment to foreign governments in 2024 surged 29 percent to a record $318.7bn, the US State Department said, a figure that includes the sale of jet fighters worth $18.8bn to Israel despite the country facing allegations of genocide in Gaza.

US weapons sales figures from the Biden administration’s final year were released on Friday, coming amid rising global instability and regional tensions.

Sales approved in 2024 included but were not limited to $23bn in F-16 jets and aircraft upgrades to Turkiye’s military, $18.8bn worth of F-15 fighter jets to Israel, and $2.5bn in sales of M1A2 Abrams tanks to Romania.

World leaders, senior ministers and key figures in climate diplomacy have, one by one, reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris agreement this week, in response to the order by Donald Trump to withdraw the US from the pact.

eSun and (obviously) Bambu provide filament configurations and process configs for their filaments in Orca Slicer (or Bambu Studio,but that won't be used here anymore).

This is quite useful as a starting point for filaments you never used before, you don't have to transfer the manufacturers recommendations (who often are quite generic. 170-250°? Really?) and is quite helpful for new users (which I sometimes have to help).

The question is: Are there any other manufacturers who do that? There are of course a few stock one delivered with Orca,but is there anyone else?

I'm not sure how there's any doubt about his little salute now...

Found this article while scrolling the Internet. I feel it is pretty applicable to my short experience on the Fediverse so far, since the decentralizaiton aspect of it is offset by the fact that user data is tied heavily to the server you register to, and that the server can dictate what other content you see. OcapPub is an attempt to remedy this issue, while also providing powerufl new tools for moderation and social trust that can protect people

"Federal agents arrived at the school as they were searching for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, according to a CPS source. Agents had visited a home and were told the person was a student at Hamline, the source said.

The principal said school administrators followed protocols and did not allow the agents inside the school."
