Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI
Calibri, which could make documents easier to read for the vision impaired, was apparently installed in 2023 by the department’s then-DEI office. Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.

I'm pretty happy with engagement in the Fediverse.
Lemmy has about 40,000 monthly active users. Lemmy.world accounts for about 15,500 of that. That's about 40%.
This site currently measures the concentration of user data for active users: in the Fediverse, this data is on servers (also known as instances); in the Atmosphere, it is on the PDSes that host users' data repos. All PDSes run by the company Bluesky Social PBC are aggregated in this dataset, since they are under the control of a single entity. Similarly, mastodon.social and mastodon.online are combined as they are run by the same company.
So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse
They call it marketing, I call it propaganda.
PDSes only store user data. These are full instances that can be used to browse the network. The idea is to make your account really yours. Bluesky is hosting most of them. But there are some people who do it on their own.
But bluesky controls much more important components in the network, namely the Relay and AppView.
If Bluesky decides to cut off your PDS you are pretty much alone.
Bluesky is pretty much a centralized platform like Twittler.
I suppose PDS instances are included: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds
How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.

On August 30, 2025, the phrase “Trump is dead” began trending on X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread speculation about the health of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is currently serving his second term as the 47th President. However, th
Let's not forget that's devices sold per year. If you replace all iphones, that's about 3 billion I think. This number looks a lot different.
Comparing this to global energy production is not really helpful, in my opinion.

Let's do the math. Apple sells about about 200 million devices a year. Let's say they remove the charging port and completely rely on wireless charging, which isn't completely unrealistic. If we use your 30wh this would result in 6.96GWh or lost energy every single day. With 150wh it would be 34.8GWh.
If that's not significant for one dumb decision I don't know what is.
