Does anyone have experience migrating entire Mastodon instances from one domain to another?
Looking for advice on migrating user accounts and I'm wondering if I just set the new instance up in parallel, close registration and hand over invite codes... or is there a better way?

Do you have back pain or problems? If you have had to change your life, eg. avoid doing something, or stay home due to your back or if it hurts often that's "having back problems"
If you are taller than 164cm (5' 4.5") you are "tall." (In this formulation more men are tall than women, I'm interested in absolute height here so not breaking it down by gender. Data are bimodal but I don't think it matters much.)

Here is what frustrates me most about the Python package ecosystem. Let's say that I have a tool written in Python. And one day, where it used to work, it has stopped working. A package is failing to find another package. I am not doing "development" so I don't have a principled package setup. I just have a python script on my hard drive.
I need to install a package.
- Which python installation do I have to install the package into?
- Do I use pip, pipx, or something else?

New Australian protest laws
"No public assemblies in a designated area will be able to be authorised, including by a court."
Hope Starmer doesn't see this as a blue print
one of the key ideas of a democracy is that protest and demonstrations important
1. to bring to the attention of government issues it might not be aware of, or care sufficiently about
2. for some of that activity to result in positive change, even if it is small and incremental
this is a pressure-release valve, a method of organic self-correction
by suppressing this, government are NOT becoming more stable, they are becoming less stable, as pressure and resentment and distrust builds to eventually explode in revolution.
this is basic politics theory, and I am no expert
these governments, including the UK, are foolish if they think banning speech and protests is making our country safer and more stable
(I first learned about this idea very late in life, from NN Taleb's anti-fragile concept)

y'all. folks. people! everybody hold on to your britches because we finally found some news to report.
Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani.
"FBI agents knocked on
my door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I had
never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl
Marx. “He’s dead.”
I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”
“No, he died long ago.”
I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”
Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! "

We checked, and everything is under international law, and we did already secure ASP (applicant support program) approval. ICANN may be located in the USA but they also function as an international/neutral party, so everything _should_ be on the up and up
@gnome I've been using GNOME since pre-1.0 days (with a brief swap to KDE when 3 was initially released), but once extensions fixed the biggest gaps (and KDE 4 dropped...) I've been back and been happy. I do wish that there was a bit more care given to the extension environment as they are *needed* to make GNOME truely functional, IMHO. But with them, it's the best environment available <full stop/>.
One of the world’s earliest surviving chess sets ♟️
This nearly complete set dates to the 12th century and is believed to come from Nishapur, Iran. Made of molded and glazed stonepaste, the pieces take beautifully abstract forms. This set is now preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

강제 관할 이거 상당히 우려가 되는 조항이라서 짚고 넘어갑니다. 자기네들에게 가장 유리한 포럼을 찾기 위해서 forum shopping했을 가능성이 높습니다. 텍사스주는 제5항소법원 관할이고, 제5항소법원은 다른 항소법원에 비해서 매우 보수적이기로 악명 높습니다.
멜론 머시기가 있으니 가장 극우적인 법원의 관할로 들어가기 위해서 forum shopping한 걸 대놓고 저렇게 드러내는 것 같네요.
