I can only speak from my own experience and what I've seen, but generally the best leaders are the ones who emerge naturally from within the team. You shouldn’t need to "prove yourself" to your superiors but to your coworkers instead.

Most teams don't want or need a boss, they need a leader

I don't know what your "vision" looks like, but start small. Feel like some manual task could be automated? Write a script and share it with the team. Think something should be done differently? Bring it up and see what others in the team think. The point is, you don't need actual "power" within the company to start implementing your vision. Unless of course the company culture is just horrible, in which case you'd probably be better off looking for other opportunities regardless..

Obviously I'm not a lawyer but I don't see what law they could use to shut it down. All it's doing is accessing publicly available data via a proxy. It's not like it's exploiting Instagram somehow.

If they wanna stop it, they can do what Twitter did and start requiring an account to see almost anything. Personally I suspect Meta is slowly going towards that.

Many suiters love to get proper photos taken of their suit and there never seems to enough slots available. If you have the knowhow and camera gear, it's fairly easy to make money by providing custom photoshoots during cons.

Such a cool idea omg. I wish there were a way to make it happen. I've always played with the idea of going interrailing but I'm not that into sightseeing or other "touristy" activities so I worry I'd find it boring soon after start. Meeting local furs at every major stop would be such a fun way to do it. I think there should be some overnight stops along the route though, more than two consecutive night trains sounds way too punishing for me lol.

Also, to my knowledge night trains often require seat reservations even for interrail pass holders. I dunno how expensive those are these days

Awesome! Got it running and seems to work well. Also I love the CLAUDE.md file you got there in the repo 🐈

Dried apricots are my favorite and are rich in fiber and vitamins. Other dried fruits are good too, but personally I like apricots the most.

Can we please not accuse anyone of using AI without absolutely clear evidence. It can be very demoralizing for the artist to be wrongly accused.

A teenager has beaten a traditional race's record after running at what organisers described as "breathtaking speed".

The 10K Stoke Stampede, which has been a key event in the calendar at Stoke St Gregory near Taunton in Somerset since 1977, was won by Tom, 17, who ran the distance at 30.37 on Sunday, beating the previous record of 31.45 in 2007.

The race originally started as a fun run pram race between two pubs and, although it has evolved over the years, it continues to raise money for the village playing field.

About 450 runners from across the South West registered to take part in the 2026 Stoke Stampede, selling it out within 14 hours.

Sara Sollis has been helping out with the run for more than 20 years and said it is "really popular" with participants because of the course itself.

"It's very undulating, it's a bit of a challenge, sometimes there's some really big puddles," she said.

"They [runners] tell us they like it because the village come out and support it and there's spectators clapping them all the way around the village, even if they're hanging out their windows."

The run raises money for the local playing field, which was bought by some soldiers for the village with their demobilisation pay when they returned from the Second World War.

The field was originally set up for football and cricket, but now has facilities to play tennis and also has a pavilion.

"It's their main fundraising and it costs a lot of money to run a playing field, you wouldn't believe it," Sollis said.

As for the 2026 winner, Sollis said Tom was the "quickest I've ever seen" in the decades she has assisted in the race.

"Generally, the younger age don't run it, some of them are in their 70s," Sollis said of the participants.

"And sometimes its the vets that win the overall race as well, which I love, there's always life in the old dogs."

Fun fact: Apparently the saying about cats having nine lives isn't the same everywhere. For example, in Germany it's only seven lives :o

Thanks for clarification, makes more sense now. Will everyone still see each other's comments when a post is moved but for Lemmy users it's still in the old community?

[–] JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Ah, okay. That's great. Might be a dumb question, but what did you mean by "change federates to other instances (except Lemmy[...]" then?

[–] JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Mods can move a post, with replies and votes, to another community. The change federates to other instances (except Lemmy, for now[...]

Sounds awesome! One question, until Lemmy properly supports this, how will it look on the Lemmy side when a post is moved? Will it still be visible in the original community, in both the old and new communities, or will the post just disappear?

 

New thing from neal.fun. I got stuck at the rhythm game (level 47) so apparently I'm a robot..

Further notes about Adam + Furry over the years:

  • when asked The "What animal would you be?" Question: "Without a doubt my fursona is a lion."
  • knew the word "fursuit" while repairing a Totoro costume
  • Maker and a technologist for 30+ years in the San Francisco Bay Area, worked at ILM, has been to dozens of cosplay conventions, and his dad was a cartoonist. Ain't no way he didn't know :P

What's everyone's opinion on this? I think from a security standpoint their reasoning is valid and in many cases it's very easy to automate the renewal with ACME or something else. But there's likely gonna be legacy stuff still around in 2029 that won't be easy to automate.

 

Finland headed to the polls on Sunday to elect thousands of councillors in a range of local and regional bodies.

The Social Democrats took a big win in the municipal elections, taking nearly one in four votes nationwide to push the National Coalition Party of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo into second place.

In the county council elections, for 21 regional bodies that arrange social and healthcare outside Helsinki, the SDP also topped the poll. The Centre Party recorded a good result in its rural heartlands to secure third spot.

Government parties did poorly, with all but the NCP losing support compared to the previous municipal elections in 2021. Turnout in the municipal election was 54.2 percent, while the county elections saw 51.7 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots.

The dual vote for municipal and county councils caused logistical issues for election officials, with counting slower than usual for Finland, where large numbers vote in advance and results are usually clear within a couple of hours of polls closing.

The Finns Party saw support collapse compared to the last municipal election, with the party nearly halving its vote from four years ago. They lost support in several towns that are seeing hospital services cut back as part of the central government's savings drive.
