A rare Nintendo GameCube prototype from the 2000 Space World trade show has surfaced online with a $100,000 asking price. This non-functional prototype, listed on eBay by collector Donny Fillerup, was one of a few units created to showcase the console’s design before its official launch in 2001.

A family of Great Horned Owls made a nest site in a old brick building, That brick building was the old Lithia Brewing Company in downtown West Bend, WI.

The birds made home to a old air vent and had 3 owlets that year. The building is now tore down, The birds have moved on. I was lucky enough to watch them grow up from small white fuzz balls to flying out into the new world.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who is heading US President Donald Trump’s efforts to shrink the federal government, gave an update on the effort early on Monday, saying they were working to shut down the US foreign aid agency USAID.

Musk, who is also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, discussed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in a Monday social media talk on X, which he also owns. Trump has assigned Musk to lead a federal cost-cutting panel.

The conversation, which included former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Republican senators Joni Ernst and Mike Lee, began with Musk saying they were working to shut down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

“It’s beyond repair,” Musk said, adding that Trump agrees it should be shut down.

On Sunday, it was reported that the Trump administration had removed two top security officials at USAID during the weekend after they tried to stop representatives from Musk’s DOGE from gaining access to restricted parts of the building, three sources said.

The website of USAID appeared to still be offline on Saturday and some users could not access it on Sunday. USAID has a staff of more than 10,000 people.

Speaking more broadly about cutting US expenses and fraud, Musk estimated the Trump administration can cut US$1 trillion from the US deficit next year.

Musk did not offer any evidence to support his fraud claim or explain how he reached the amount of US$1 trillion.

Since taking office 11 days ago, Trump has embarked on a massive government makeover, firing and sidelining hundreds of civil servants in his first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy and installing more loyalists.

I'm burning out and have little to no emotional control and feel like a rage monster. This usually happens when I go on call. I know once I'm off call it will pass. But I'm in the shit right now.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Um homem de 32 anos relatou ter sido estuprado durante o show da cantora Anitta —realizado para a turnê "Ensaios da Anitta"— que aconteceu no último domingo (26) em Ribeirão Preto, no interior de São Paulo. Segundo o relato feito à Polícia Civil, ele teria sido dopado em algum momento da apresentação e não se recordaria de nada que aconteceu depois.

Fontes próximas à polícia afirmam que o homem teria sentido dores em seu ânus após acordar no dia seguinte, o que o levou a registrar um boletim de ocorrência na delegacia. Ele estava com um grupo de amigos durante o evento.

A Secretaria da Segurança Pública de São Paulo informou que o caso está sendo investigado pelo 8° Distrito Policial de Ribeirão Preto, as providências para identificação dos envolvidos estão em andamento, e uma requisição de exame pericial no Instituto Médico Legal (IML) já foi encaminhada.

A assessoria do show "Ensaios da Anitta" afirmou que todas as ocorrências registradas estão sendo apuradas pela Polícia Civil, com auxílio da Faro Eventos.

"Em todas as edições [desde o início da turnê] o evento conta com uma Sala de Acolhimento Social, onde o público encontra um time de psicólogos e advogados de plantão para quaisquer intercorrências durante e após o evento. O "Ensaios da Anitta" se coloca à disposição também para ocorrências e denúncias através de seu SAC."

Além do caso em questão, as redes sociais foram tomadas por relatos envolvendo bebidas batizadas e celulares e carteiras furtadas durante o show. A apresentação também ficou marcada pela forte chuva que aconteceu no interior paulista.

Segundo o portal G1, a advogada Ana Beatriz Viegas, que relatou ter perdido o seu celular em meio a uma onda de roubos, está coordenando um grupo que promete entrar com uma notificação extrajudicial contra a Faro Eventos, organizadora da apresentação de Anitta.

Trinta e oito pessoas registraram boletins de ocorrência e compõem o documento e o grupo já conta com mais de cem vítimas que perderam algum de seus pertences. Viegas relata ter testemunhado o roubo de seu aparelho pela ação de quatro pessoas e afirma ter sido negligenciada ao procurar a equipe de segurança.

"Foi quando percebi que muitas outras pessoas estavam fazendo a mesma reclamação. Comecei a conversar, trocar ideias e entender como aconteceu com elas também. A maioria relatou a mesma coisa: abriram a bolsa, pegaram o celular e sumiram", diz ela.

A advogada acredita que um mesmo grupo pode ter sido responsável pelos furtos e roubos e afirma que os seguranças do show teriam se recusado a auxiliar a identificação dos suspeitos e acionar a polícia. O documento diz que a Faro Eventos teria negligenciado medidas de prevenção e o alerta de centenas de frequentadores.

Em entrevista ao Metrópoles, um casal da cidade de São Carlos também informa que começaram a se sentir desorientados após deixarem a área de "open bar" do evento pouco após a chegada de Anitta ao palco. Um dos jovens diz ter perdido completamente a memória a partir desse momento e que se recorda apenas de quando chegou em casa.

O outro relatou ter percebido a ausência do seu celular pouco após o casal ter ido até o ambulatório, onde os questionaram sobre o possível de drogas. Ele então levou o namorado até a entrada do evento e usou o celular do parceiro para tentar contatar um carro de aplicativo, sem sucesso.

Nesse momento, o namorado teria perdido completamente a consciência. Mais tarde, o casal conseguiu reencontrar um grupo de amigos com quem estavam no show, quando estariam "vomitando uma cor amarela muito forte, enquanto as outras pessoas da festa vomitaram vermelho, a cor da bebida".

Ao acordar no dia seguinte, os dois teriam sentido náuseas e fraqueza. No total, perderam uma carteira com documentos, um celular, cartões, dinheiro, um óculos e uma bateria portátil.

Também existe uma série de relatos nas redes sociais sobre ladrões que estariam entrando em contato com as vítimas para ameaçá-las e realizar outros golpes e a respeito de celulares que teriam ido parar em outras cidades, como São Paulo e Goiânia.

Do any fediverse alternative(s) for GitHub Gists exist?

There are lots of platforms connected together through the ActivityPub. Since I discovered the fediverse, I've used Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Writefreely, Mitra and Friendica, definitely leaving the centralized platforms for good.

However, as a developer, I've still been using centralized services, such as GitHub and, more specifically, GitHub Gists. Recently, I discovered a project called Opengist which allows for a self-hosted "GitHub Gists" alternative. While it allows for some integrations with centralized servers (e.g., integrated login using GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian Bitbucket, among others), it doesn't seem to allow for ActivityPub integrations.

And this leads me to my question: are there any "fediverse GitHub Gists", where developers could publish code snippets (e.g., P5.js snippets, GLSL shaders and fragments, mathematical experimentation, and so on), while allowing for federation? I imagine they'd be pushed to Mastodon and Friendica similarly as how Writefreely pushes posts to the fediverse, as a truncated text followed by a direct link to the Writefreely article.

Fans van Bridget Jones moeten het in de vierde film voor een groot deel doen zonder Mark Darcy, de grote liefde van Bridget gespeeld door Colin Firth. Voor veel fans een pijnlijke ontwikkeling en zo ook voor hoofdrolspeelster Renée Zellweger. ,,De opnamedagen die we met hem hadden waren heel emotioneel’’, vertelt ze aan het ANP. ,,Ik voelde echt een diepe pijn dat we deze ervaring niet meer samen zouden hebben.’’
