Making an account on something today when I came across a novel to me password restriction

I just realized that binding to `d u` will clobber the magit default "Diff unstaged" function. Better bind to `d U` and also load after `magit-diff`:

(with-eval-after-load 'magit-diff
(transient-append-suffix 'magit-diff "r"
'("U" "Diff upstream..HEAD" (lambda ()
(interactive)
(magit-diff-range (concat (magit-get-upstream-branch) "..HEAD"))))))

Link to docs because I was running out of space: https://docs.magit.vc/magit/The-Two-Remotes.html

Did you know that you can set an upstream branch in emacs magit?
When set, you can see all commits you did compared to upstream and can more easily compare to the upstream with this little function:

(with-eval-after-load 'magit
(transient-append-suffix 'magit-diff "r"
'("u" "Diff upstream..HEAD" (lambda ()
(interactive)
(magit-diff-range (concat (magit-get-upstream-branch) "..HEAD"))))))

Pressing `d u` in magit status basically gives you a GitHub pull request view.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

UNREAL is 25 years old today so I made a 3D short to celebrate one of the most important FPS (and engines!).

Fully rendered in Cinema 4D + Octane Render. Lots of materials/textures from GSG and some custom ones.

Fullscreen and headphones for the full 1998-nostalgia experience!

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/32615)

Gegen den nächsten typischen "Merz" (Angriff auf NGOs und zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen und Vereine) gibt es übrigens eine Bundestagspetition. Diese wurde bereits am 19.01.25 gestartet, anscheinend aus tiefer Kenntnis der Lage heraus. Die Mitzeichnungsfrist läuft noch bis zum 1. April (kein Scherz). Es ist also noch Zeit genug, das auf die wichtige Schwelle von 30.000 Mitzeichnern zu bringen. Dazu muss es aber verbreitet werden, und es müssen auch tatsächlich Leute mitzeichnen. Weiter unten noch ein Tagesschau-Artikel zum Thema.
