"A federal immigration officer wanted on assault charges for shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis was arrested there on Wednesday, eight months after a confrontation that became a flashpoint over US President Donald Trump's deportation sweeps."
Big movie stars, pop stars & the like don't live in the same world as us.
They really don't. At least not without significant effort on their part.
Oligarchs want their glitz & glamor to spice up their parties & they want the biggest voices in our culture to either speak for them or at very least go silent on anything that matters.
This has always been the case, but with the deepening class divide, this becomes much more glaringly obvious. I doubt Sheeran fully understood what he was doing.
Conclusion: Ed Sheeran is a class traitor so fuck him very much.
Like, we see who you obey, Ed. See how much those rich fucks will still like you if you lose audiences & don't generate as much profit, though...
Together with President Von der Leyen, we presented the EU KIDS ACT. This changes the way services for minors are built, making them safe by design.
The KIDS ACT is built on:
✅ Age limits for social media
✅ Safety by design,
✅ Privacy-preserving age verification
✅ Effective enforcement, building on existing DSA and AI Act structures
An important step towards a safer online world for our children.

@HennaVirkkunen Please listen to the critique by institutions like Netzpolitik, Chaos Computer Club, and similar organisations. Or the German Kindeschutzbund.
This law feels very(!) authoritarian, fascist, and inspired by BigTech. Also see https://ohai.social/@senficon/117286642437725934 and especially https://chaos.social/@guenther/117286699979300330 - you are not only killing free internet, but also free computers in general.
And this while stripping freedom of speech and therefore freedom in general.
This is bad. Stop this law.

I'm not going to make the obvious tech analogy here because I think you can figure it out.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/117274567505339534
I'm currently adding support for Featured Collections in Pixelfed (not to create them, but to be added to Mastodon/Loops Collections) because @Gargron has been politely asking since June and I owe a large part of my success to his work.
Once that is shipped in a hour or two, I will tag a new release with the federation fixes, and get back to preparing the mobile app for release!
