‘revival begins with the people proclaiming, by word and deed, “I have sinned.”

MAGA Christianity has a different message. It looks at American culture and declares, “You have sinned.”

And it doesn’t stop there. It also says, “We will defeat you.” In its most extreme forms, it also says, “We will rule over you.” That’s not revival; it’s revolution, a religious revolution that seeks to overthrow one political order and replace it with another…’

I dug into progressive image rendering and found a bunch of common assumptions aren't quite true.

➡️ JPEG & WebP progressive-renders worse in Safari
➡️ AVIF _does_ support progressive

➡️ JPEG XL decodes much slower than AVIF

Heltec's support completely turned things around! They apologized, sent a replacement, and even included an extra goodie.

Mistakes happen, but how a company handles them really matters. Now I'll happily buy there again 🙌

Who wants such an app??

It's the World’s First #AI enabled Mutual Photo Sharing app.

Your friends get their photos from you only when they give you yours. Using AI facial recognition, PicSee finds unseen photos of you on friends’ devices and delivers them after a simple one-time, mutual approval."

Two released Ukrainian servicemen said that Matvieiev was beaten shortly after his transfer to the facility during what they described as an "intake" procedure.

Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets called the death "a war crime and a crime against humanity, committed deliberately and cynically," noting that "lung damage and numerous fractures do not occur spontaneously."

Ukrainian prosecutors say mayor died from multiple rib fractures and lung damage in Russian custody after refusing to cooperate with occupation authorities — LIGA. net.

Yevhen Matvieiev, the mayor of Dniprorudne in occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, suffered torture before dying on 7 September 2024, in a detention facility in Kizel, Perm Krai.

He spent 2 years and 8 months in captivity after Russian forces abducted him at a checkpoint in March 2022.⤵️
