Summary

German authorities are investigating the sighting of 10 unidentified drones over Manching Air Base in Bavaria, suspecting potential Russian espionage linked to the Ukraine war.

The base is used for testing the airworthiness of military aircraft. Similar drone activity was reported in December at Manching, nearby Neuburg an der Donau, and Ramstein Air Base.

Officials believe the drones are attempting to photograph military installations.

The Munich Public Prosecutor General's Office is leading the investigation, with concerns about growing security risks at critical defense sites.

My expectations were already low based on the box's physical size, but it still somehow managed to not even meet that

American disco group the Village People made a name for themselves in the late-70s for their chant-along dance-pop hits and their colorful on-stage personas. Their best known hit, “Y.M.C.A.,” is widely considered a gay anthem -- and became a staple of Trump’s rallies in the last election, along with their hit “Macho Man.”

The American disco group is set to perform at one of Trump’s inaugural balls and a rally he’s holding in Washington the day before he’s sworn in.

Summary

President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it "really shameful" and "contrary to American justice."

Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.

The decision follows Meta's rollback of diversity and inclusion programs amid legal and political shifts.

Biden, in his final press call as president, emphasized the importance of countering misinformation, labeling Meta’s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.

Former U.S. officials lamented the Biden administration's policies toward Israel amid the Gaza war during a 60 Minutes segment focused on disillusioned officials.

Miller added the U.S. did not impose any red lines, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the message that "he was the one in the driver's seat, and he was controlling this, and U.S. support was going to be there, and he could take it for granted."

Former diplomat Hala Rharrit noted she was "basically berated" by a superior for including images of children that starved to death, with her reports on Arab views on the U.S. role in the war suspended after just three months.

Miller, meanwhile, noted the war will only end "when Israel says it's over. Absent intervention from the United States or for someone else to compel or to force a decision. It ends when Netanyahu says it's over."

I have both and wanted to see what difference there was (if any) between them.

Banana Bread w/ dried cranberries and black currants.

Same recipe, same measures in both.

Ceramic pan has a blonde interior, cast iron is black ceramic.

Baked at 350° for 30 minutes, rotated left to right and front to back, then 30 minutes more.

The ceramic baked slightly taller. This may be a function of the loaf pan being just slightly narrower than the cast iron. 5" vs. 5 1/8" (127 mm vs 130.175 mm)

I THINK I shared this recipe before, but I find the pan comparison interesting.

At the 30 minute mark I caught our two youngest cats sitting on the stove trying to figure out where the smells are coming from. LOL. Was not fast enough to get that picture!

INGREDIENTS for blackcurrant banana bread:

3 ripe bananas
60g melted butter (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick)
150g sugar (2/3 cup)
200g unbleached flour (1 1/4 cups)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
150g of fresh or frozen blackcurrants (without defreezing before use) (1 1/2 cups)

PREPARATION of blackcurrant banana bread:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

If using dried cranberries or currents, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, dry fruit sucks the moisture out of the bread otherwise).

Mash the bananas in a bowl

Add the egg and butter

Put all the dry ingredients together into a fine mesh sieve or sifter and sift into the bowl

Mix well with a wooden spoon

Bake in a buttered loaf pan until a toothpick stuck into the bread comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.

Slice and serve.

Summary

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon criticized Elon Musk, calling him "racist" and "truly evil," over Musk’s support for H-1B visas and immigration policies.

Bannon, pledging to "take this guy down," vowed to block Musk's White House influence in Trump’s new administration.

Musk, a major Trump donor, had been rewarded with advisory roles but faced backlash from MAGA supporters opposing immigration.

Bannon also attacked Musk’s wealth-driven motives, accusing him of promoting “techno-feudalism,” and called for Musk to “go back to South Africa,” targeting his heritage.

Rolling Stone yesterday: More Women Accuse Author Neil Gaiman of Sexual Assault

I’ve given Amanda Palmer the slant eye ever since her The Art of Asking TED talk. It seemed to me that she either doesn’t understand or pretends not to understand power dynamics in relationships.

I thought one of the advantages of the Fediverse was to have one account but access to many services. Is this possible just not common? I already have a Lemmy account and Mastodon and I didn't want to start making more just to try out the other services.

Does JavaScript count tho?

I hate when the cursor is left in the middle of the screen when play is pressed, but I found that I frequently do it myself...

1. SuperTuxKart

I really like this game because it's basically just FOSS Mario Kart. It has a lot of gamemodes, an (admittedly simple) kart stat system, many tracks and a lot of mods.

2. OpenTTD

In OpenTTD, you transport cargo and people to different places. You can transport them using trains, buses, aeroplanes (airplanes if your American), boats and trams if you add a NewGRF (a mod). It is very addictive and it is quite easy to get into (except the signals).

3. Pingus

It's FOSS Lemmings with penguins.

4. Extreme Tux Racer

You play as Tux (or someone else) and slide yourself through terrain while you collect fish. It is fun, however I've found that it can get a bit repetitive. You can design levels, however it's a bit hard to do.

5. SuperTux

It's 2D Mario with a penguin. BEST GAME EVER.
