  1. Congressional leaders are baffled by the rise of Chinese-owned apps Xiaohongshu & Lemon8, an unintended consequence of the TikTok ban. 📱 Will these new platforms disrupt the social media landscape? 🤔 #Xiaohongshu #Lemon8 #TikTokBan #SocialMedia #TechNews #China #AppTrends

  2. I am baffled. I picked up a liminal horror adventure on itch and there are NPCs, a setting and some themes. There's also a three-coloured Doom clock and no instructions on how to use it. Trying to work out if I am missing something or if the system is literally just vibes-only. #osr #LiminalHorrorRPG

  3. So yesterday I was baffled because all the images on my #ETR timeline stopped showing. I tried to blame Moshidon but when I checked in the browser still nothing. So I disabled the NextDNS and they came back, but not in the browser, uBlock was doing its job. Turns out one of the filters added exoio to the blocklist. Anyway, removed that and we're good to go. But heads up for anyone else with the problem.

  8. @GottaLaff completely baffles me, but there again look at the support for Farage, an overt rascist and Badenoch who'd close the borders and lock up any known 'agitator'. Which includes me, I've been red flagged since the first #StopBrexit march. When it was still a 'proposal' i.e. before referundum #3. 'Hard as nails'.

  9. "The entire situation is baffling, raises concerns about how the traditional political press will cover an untraditional (authoritarian criminal) candidate, and explains why the media is facing its biggest crisis in recent memory..."

  10. I am genuinely baffled and mildly irritated that I got Engines on the Track, the new Friends at the Table Bluff City track, for free just because I’ve bought the album a lifetime ago.

  11. CW: Trump uspol

    I'm still baffled this isn't on the menu.

    npr.org/2022/11/18/1137474748/

    "President" Donald Trump, (checks notes) Tweeted a classified photo.

  12. Mastodon does seem to baffle a lot of potential users. The only real thing different to the Twitter signup process is the choice of server. Words like 'decentralised platform' don't mean anything to your average disgruntled birdsite user looking for a new home.

    Some kind of centralised signup that asks you questions about your location and interests (like Twitter does anyway) and then suggests an appropriate server based on your answers might be a good idea? @Mastodon #mastodonsplaining

  13. I find it baffling, how many people are outraged by this blogpost:
    blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2025/02

    1. It's a personal blog, not even an official / blog ("official Red Hat communication happens on Redhat.com")
    2. Yes, the blog post talks about AI. ABOUT AND , which are frameworks that allow setting up hw accelerated machine learning on Fedora and make it easy. THIS DOESN'T MEAN WE'LL HAVE IN FEDORA

    Guys, reading comprehension is a thing...

  14. @DaveKeating rightly expressing bafflement at EU member states’ neglect of autonomous Defence, in favour of risky US dependence:

    “Facing an aggressor to the East, Europe finds itself reliant on a foreign power to the West that at any moment could either collapse or have a new regime that makes a deal with Russia and throws Europe to the wolves.”

  15. Alexandra Petri: #GOP baffled that ‘We Don’t Care if You Die’ is not a winning slogan

    “Republicans struggle as they keep getting forced to talk about abortion”

    "Huh! It turns out “Well, with luck, you probably won’t die being forced to give birth to a nonviable fetus over the objections of your doctor!” — even if you say it in a warm, human-sounding way ― is not actually what people want to hear when deciding how to cast their votes. Fascinating!

    People keep hearing stories like that of Kate Cox, whose medically recommended abortion to end a nonviable pregnancy and preserve her fertility was shut down by the #Texas Supreme Court, and saying, “Wait, is that actually your policy? Jesus!” and it turns out that “Yup!” or “Pretty much!” is not a winning answer. Also not great: “Please hold while the Supreme Court figures out if it wants to impose even more restrictions on what medical care you are allowed to receive!”"

  16. "In a baffling address that even avowed allies called pointless on Wednesday night, Pres. Donald Trump bragged that he was 'bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast.' There’s just one teeny, tiny problem with that: Reality. The actual story of food prices and affordability in 2025 doesn’t really line up with Trump’s claims, according to November data":

  17. There are several baffling things about this, but another one is that #SteveBaker is lecturing *Ireland* about how constitutional referenda should be run.

    #Ireland knows. It has a written constitution. It does them all the fucking time.

    It’s Britain that’s the novice at constitutional referenda, with its constitution variously written on 8,000 fag packets, in smoke rings, in a knowing wink between Oxford graduates, or in what occurs to a Law Lord when he’s in the bath one morning.

  18. IT IS SO BAFFLING that Mark Charles has negative 350 karma on Reddit. I was wrong about that place; somebody there really doesn't want anyone to hear what he has to say.

    The indisputable conclusion is: Reddit is perpetuating white supremacy; it is like Facistbook and Twitter, part of the problem.

    Updated the instance summary note to the Fediverse; guess who is going to regret suppressing independent voices?
