Hello @Ruud! I just recently joined Frendica but unfortunately it won't let me change my default password. The error message is "Login failed" even though I used the same password as the one I logged in with. Is there an issue with the server or am I doing something wrong?
I figured it out. The email that was sent to me contained whitespace, and the login form strips that so I was able to authenticate, but the same copied password fails when changing passwords in settings. But report is here:
I firmly believe that decentralized, noncommercial social media is the only way to go. You can't trust a person who'd get rich off of "connecting people." I already have accounts on a Mastodon platform, Bookwyrm, and Pixelfed. I don't expect all these to last and that's OK. It's a time of upheaval, and a time of experimentation. I'm seriously considering hosting an instance if that's what it takes to get my family off facebook. Anyway, hello everyone. Nice to meet you.
Well fortunately (unfortunately for the rampaging cheeto) is that there are three things not owned by the US and therefor out of his control. The Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal, and Greenland.
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE WHOLE "GULF OF AMERICA" THING WAS JUST AN INTERNET JOKE. BUT NOW, I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK. GIVE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY A BOOB JOB. NOTHING MATTERS.
TikTok is facing a looming ban in the United States. The company will make a final effort to argue its case before the Supreme Court on Friday; if it loses, the law forcing TikTok to spin off from its China-based parent company or be banned in the Un…
Seriously, I believe we really need to stop trying to prevent meteors from hitting Earth. Humans have run their course and it is time to etch-a-sketch this motherfucker.
Body of missing Indian journalist found in septic tank
Summary
Indian journalist Mukesh Chandrakar, 32, known for reporting on corruption, was found dead in a septic tank in Chhattisgarh on 3 January after going missing on New Year’s Day.
Police arrested three suspects, including two relatives, while contractor Suresh Chandrakar, a key suspect, is on the run.
Authorities suspect blunt-force trauma, and Chandrakar’s reporting via his YouTube channel Bastar Junction has drawn attention. Local journalists protested, demanding justice and accountability for the killing.
Attacks on journalists in India are common, with 3-4 reporters killed annually for their work, according to Reporters Without Borders.
Zuckerberg has now apparently burned the last bridges to the good side of the Force and wants to go to hell together with his rich friends, religious fundamentalists and other Nazis. In the hope that one or two brave souls will make their way out of the meta-molloch and into the fediverse, I am starting an attempt here to make myself findable for them.
There will be a lot of content here about canoeing, geese and other pleasant things and I look forward to a lively exchange.
Hi, yeah, what a bummer. Let's hope for the best. I've been on Mastodon for a long time, but I'm also still on Dings because of all the groups there. But not at this price ...

Ha ha ha mdr ptdr lol, vous êtes drôle. Faire voler un kite pour tirer des bateaux ?
Mais mon pauvre vieux, ça ne marchera jamais. 》
C'est ce que Yves PARLIER a entendu dire de son projet pendant de longues années.
Il faut dire que, quand on est passé voir Beyond the Sea la première fois, l'innovation était encore au stade théorique.
Il fallait un sacré effort d'imagination pour penser qu'un jour des bateaux seraient tirés par un kite géant en pilotage automatique.
Mais TFTP est là pour ça : pour passer de l'imagination au réel. Du rêve à la réalité.

Mais TFTP est là pour ça : pour passer de l'imagination au réel. Du rêve à la réalité.
Notre Comité scientifique a estimé, en 2022, que rien n'était techniquement impossible dans la conception imaginée par Yves Parlier, et que sa vision était maline : ne pas placer le matériel électronique sur le kite lui-même, mais sur le bateau, et créer un pilotage automatique dans une 《kitebox 》, une sorte de petite boîte qui peut s'installer partout sans réduire la capacité de charge du navire.
Alors, on s'est mis au boulot.
Yves Parlier, le génie du vent, a fait équipe avec Marc THIENPONT, recruté par Team for the Planet, un dirigeant pragmatique qui a fait toute sa carrière dans la marine marchande, qui a apporté toute son expérience en matière de gestion de projets maritimes de grande ampleur
Ensemble, et avec l'argent injecté par TFTP, ils ont démontré en deux ans que ce qui n'était qu'un doux rêve pouvait devenir réalité.
Aujourd'hui, ils sont la seule entreprise au monde ayant réussi à faire voler un kite de 100 m² en pilotage automatique complet. Et la voile de 200 m² est en production.
Les progrès techniques et commerciaux accomplis sont uniques et montrent que, quand on a une volonté de fer de lutter contre le changement climatique, rien ne peut vous arrêter.
Désormais, ils sont à la tête d'une entreprise qui, lorsqu'elle équipera des milliers puis des dizaines de milliers de bateaux, permettra de générer des centaines de millions d'euros d'économies de carburant chaque année.
Sa valorisation financière sera alors à la hauteur de son impact carbone.
Maintenant que Team for the Planet a permis à l'innovation d'exister, les actionnaires de TFTP ont la possibilité d'investir en direct, et donc de percevoir à l'avenir les bénéfices financiers générés.
Si vous êtes actionnaire de Team, à partir du 29 janvier, vous aurez 1 jour de priorité pour investir dans Beyond the Sea.
Attention, l’engouement est important : déjà 500 k€ de demandes d’investissement faites par les 4 % d’actionnaires membres de la task force Team for the Planet.
Il n’y aura peut-être pas de place pour tout le monde, alors ne tardez pas !
The Hidden Profit Machine Behind Academic Publishing: A Call for Reform
In the world of academic publishing, a startling economic paradox exists that challenges the very foundations of scientific dissemination. The "big five" commercial publishers—Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, and SAGE—have built billion-dollar empires with profit margins rivaling tech giants, all while relying on the unpaid labor of researchers and public funding. This system, which some critics liken to a racket, sees academics conducting research, writing articles, and managing peer review processes without compensation, only for publishers to sell these works back to the same institutions that produced them. This introductory paragraph sheds light on a pressing issue in scientific communication, raising questions about the sustainability and ethics of current academic publishing models and overall, the core of its business model.

Shout out to the admin of my normal fediverse home, who has been workin this weekend to fix things after it fell over. That’s one of the things I’m really liking about the #Fediverse so far, your hosts aren’t necessarily faceless. Like yes, they don’t all make themselves personally known to their users. But with many of the good admins, there’s direct communication about what’s going on. So whenever possible, tip your #fediadmins for their trouble folks, they’re the reason you’re able to enjoy this, and it can be thankless effort.

Unless you are literally running your data on a device you fully own and control in a space you own and control, you owe your gratitude to another human.
