Synology's telegraphed moves toward a contained ecosystem and seemingly vertical integration are certain to rankle some of its biggest fans, who likely enjoy doing their own system building, shopping, and assembly for the perfect amount of storage. "Pro-sumers," homelab enthusiasts, and those with just a lot of stuff to store at home, or in a small business, previously had a good reason to buy one Synology device every so many years, then stick into them whatever drives they happened to have or acquired at their desired prices. Synology's stated needs for efficient support of drive arrays may be more defensible at the enterprise level, but as it gets closer to the home level, it suggests a different kind of optimization.

Everyone was ok:

The aircraft sustained substantial damage but the pilot and passengers were uninjured, according to the incident report. The penguin was also unharmed, the report noted.

How it happened:

The pilot and passengers were conducting an aerial survey flight of an island off South Africa's Eastern Cape on January 19, 2025. The helicopter safely landed on Bird Island. Before departing, one of the passengers, who the incident report referred to as a "specialist," asked that they transport one of the penguins on the island back with them. The pilot agreed, and the penguin was placed in a cardboard box.

When the helicopter was at an altitude of around 50 feet, the cardboard box slid off the passenger's lap -- onto the pilot's cyclic pitch control lever, the incident report said. The helicopter rolled to the right. The pilot could not recover, the incident report said. As the aircraft descended, the main rotor blades of the helicopter struck the ground, and the helicopter landed on its side, about 60 feet from where it had taken off.

Hopefully that title wasn't too clickbait, here is the article and details.

South Africa helicopter crash blamed on penguin in cardboard box that hit pilot's controls

Oliver cited an interview with Facenda and his mother and primary caregiver, Joann, on the difficulties faced by people with disabilities as the state shifted to for-profit “managed care organizations”, leaving Facenda spending hours in dirty diapers.

Oliver played audio from Morley’s testimony at a 2017 administrative hearing, that aired as such: “People have bowel movements every day where they don’t completely clean themselves, and we don’t fuss over [them] too much. People are allowed to be dirty … You know, I would allow him to be a little dirty for a couple of days.”

Oliver said of the snippet: “Look, I’ll be honest, when I first heard that, I thought that has to be taken out of context. There is no way a doctor, a licensed physician, would testify in a hearing that he thinks it’s okay if people have shit on them for days. So, we got the full hearing, and I’m not going to play it for you, I’m just going to tell you: he said it, he meant it, and it made me want to punch a hole in the wall.

“If I absolutely had to put it into words, I guess I’d say fuck that doctor with a rusty canoe, I hope he gets tetanus of the balls,” he continued. “And if he has a problem with my language there, I’d say I’m allowed to be dirty. People are allowed to be a little dirty sometimes, apparently that’s doctors fucking orders.”

Oliver also added that legally, he was required to say that AmeriHealth Caritas restored the patient’s services, but called it a “disgrace” that it was disrupted in the first place.

The lawsuit argues that context cut from the show changes the meaning of Morley’s words, which they quote as thus: “In certain cases, yes, with the patient with significant comorbidities, you would want to have someone wiping them and getting the feces off. But like I said, people have bowel movements every day where they don’t completely clean themselves and we don’t fuss over too much. People are allowed to be dirty. It’s when the dirty and the feces and the urine interfere with, you know, medical safety, like in someone who has concomitant comorbidities that you worry, but not in this specific case. I would allow him to be a little dirty for a couple days.”

I don't see how the full quote meaningfully changes the meaning of the words

I'll pin this to the instance briefly, but please see the original post for the most up to date details. Enjoy!

Full post, see the last line

Hey, #mstdnca folks, some news to share.

We're in our 4th birthday month!

As many know, we've been working toward non-profit status. Despite hurdles, we've been fighting to get there.

This morning, I'm excited to announce that I've accepted Rogers Media's purchase offer to acquire the instance.

I'm excited to see where we go from here and hope all are excited too!

UPDATE: April Fools!! 🤪

Thank you to everyone that nominated songs, discussed the options, and voted in the survey! Sometime in the future, we will post a detailed breakdown on all the songs and how people voted.

If you want to listen to the winning songs, you can find them below:

| Artist Name | Song Name | Song Link | YouTube | Spotify | |

| | Rezz, Virtual Riot, One True God | Give in to you | song.link | YouTube | Spotify | | Billie du Page | Fake Friends (liste française) | song.link | YouTube | | | Elisapie (ᐃᓕᓴᐱ) | Quviasukkuvit (If It Makes You Happy) | song.link | YouTube | Spotify |

As a note for transparency, two songs tied for first place in the English category. However, when looking at the individual survey results, at least one of the submissions seemed to be a duplicate. If we took that into account when calculating the results, we got a clear winner for the English category and no change in the relative scores for the French category.
