Original title (LT): Skyrybos karo metu (Divorce During War)

Vilnius 2022. High-flying executive Marija (Žygimantė Elena Jakštaitė) chooses the worst possible moment for an honest conversation with her husband Vytas (Marius Repšys) about divorcing - just one day before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine goes into full scale. Now they must navigate the process of separation as it collides with a refugee and mid-life crisis.

I kept skipping this one because I couldn't figure out the title. Google insists it's "Jucika likes to bake", but that doesn't make any sense. I finally figured out that it was scanning the 3rd letter of sört wrong because of cursive, lol. I'm fairly confident it's just "Jucika likes beer"

Also FYI - it's pretty clear from context, but the sign that says "Elfogyott" means "sold out"

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

Per my last post, (which can be found here: https://lemmy.zip/post/53113975), I continued to mess around with a mobile broadband modem, and got it working! With a caveat... it only works when plugged into wall power. The battery I have does not supply enough power to fully enable the modem through USB power, due the raspberry pi being very power hungry. Unfortunately, this seemingly simple problem is actually a larger problem that seems to only be solved by an overly complicated solution: designing a custom battery controller PCB that responds to the pi5's (or ideally, a different processor entirely) needs more appropriately.

Take a look at the state of the device here:

Last time I posted here, many interested folks responded with great ideas and feedback. Fortunately, one of the comments lead me to the project that would ultimately end this project in its current state. Link to that comment here: https://lemmy.zip/post/53113975/22779544

Its flaws are visible. While the device has personality, it lacks ease of use. These days I use it as a "cyberdeck"/field debugging computer, and I use it with a small controller-sized Riitek keyboard, because the screen's touch capability is on the fritz, likely because of the poor design choice to leave the screen's ribbon cable partially exposed.

This leads me to the conclusion: this project is falling into "hobby" or more accurately, unsupported status. I like the device for my personal use, and I may update the design in the future for my own purposes, and release it for free for public use, though I don't imagine there will be a huge amount of interest in building this device considering the skyrocketing cost of Pi devices nowadays. There is a more reasonable path forward, and I alluded to it earlier: custom PCBs. That's where the SPIRIT project comes in: https://github.com/SPIRIT-org/SPIRIT

You can see in one of the pictures above, the SPIRIT project is designing a phone that can be completely replicated at home. Well, once they get there it will be. I've exchanged brief communications with the individual running the project, Jan, and while he hasn't stated that these projects are linked in any way, I'd like to think that the SPIRIT project carries forward the values and goals of the project I started. If you were at all interested in my project, give the SPIRIT project github a like or favorite.

Take a look at the v3lectronics youtube channel where Jan livestreams work on the SPIRIT project: https://www.youtube.com/@V_Electronics

Please contribute if you have any level of knowledge to contribute! These projects thrive on the careful contributions of other humans across the world!

More than 170 U.S. citizens had been caught up in the Trump administration’s maximalist immigration crackdown, ProPublica reported last October. That was before the brutal killings of queer mother Renee Good and ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minnesota earlier this year.

...

Bazan, a U.S. citizen from Houston, Texas, was assaulted by ICE agents as they pursued his undocumented father. The two were stopping at a McDonald’s for breakfast to celebrate Bazan making his high school varsity team, when multiple unmarked vehicles pulled up beside their family’s van.

“Armed men with masks jumped out and started banging on the windows,” Bazan testified. “They never identified themselves or explained why we were stopped. We didn’t know who these men were. I started recording on my phone. One of the unmarked cars rammed into our car multiple times. I even felt our car lift.”

Outside the van, Bazan ran to help his dad, when some of the armed men grabbed him, he said.

A handful of anonymous bots have taken over fact-checking on X.

This isn’t hyperbole. In the first three weeks of May, just eight AI contributors wrote 50.3% of all visible Community Notes on the platform.

When the program launched five years ago, X positioned it as a way to harness the knowledge of users to add context and corrections to tweets. It described Community Notes as a way to “broaden the range of voices” fighting misinformation.

Then, in July 2025, X started allowing people to use automation to mass-generate and submit AI notes. That new feature made it inevitable that human writers would eventually be overtaken by bots. But it happened faster than I predicted.

I kinda just assumed all mammals have belly buttons. But then I realized, I've given many dogs many belly rubs, and I've never noticed a navel. So whats the deal with that? We're not the only one's that got em, right?
