A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

And how many loves have perished because, from pride, or spite, or diffidence, or that unmanly shame which withholds a man from daring to betray emotion, a lover, at the critical point of the relation, has but hung his head and held his tongue?

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1879-05), “The Truth of Intercourse,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 39

#MKBHD’s #wallpaperapp, Panels, is #shuttingdown due to difficulties in finding an audience and sustaining momentum. Despite initial success, the app struggled to generate revenue as users were reluctant to pay for wallpapers. Panels will refund active subscriptions and open-source the app code after its shutdown on December 31, 2025. https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/01/mkbhds-wallpaper-app-panels-is-shutting-down/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia

From the time Brownlee launched Panels in September 2024, the app struggled to find an audience of its own. "We knew it was niche … and ultimately, we weren't able to turn it into the vision I had," Marques Brownlee said.

Trump’s funding cuts are unofficially halting government operations – The Washington Post

The hidden ways Trump, DOGE are shutting down parts of the U.S. government

Limits on spending have incapacitated parts of agencies as varied as the National Park Service and the Pentagon.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, research at 11 laboratories has ground to a halt because the Trump administration has not approved most new lab purchases.

At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, key work on weather forecasting has slowed to a crawl because Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick must sign off personally on many contracts and grants. And at the Social Security Administration, some employees are running out of paper, pens and printer toner because the U.S. DOGE Servicehas placed a $1 spending limit on government-issued credit cards. (DOGE stands for Department of Government Efficiency, though it is not a Cabinet-level agency.)

Across the federal government, Trump officials are halting a wide range of operations by declining to approve key funds. This unofficial hold on many activities has incapacitated many agencies’ divisions, even though they remain technically intact.

Families ‘disgusted’ after seniors told to leave Fort Lauderdale facility

Residents at a Fort Lauderdale senior living facility say they were blindsided by an “emergency meeting” in early March, where management told them they had to pack up and leave.

Standards War?

While I was not surprised by the announcement, it was still sad to read the news that IFTAS is shutting down several of its services for lack of funding. It is hard for me not to see this as another aspect of a potential “standards war” between ActivityPub and ATProto.
