Wer kommt mit nach Sarajevo?
Vom 26.8. bis zum 2.9.2024 (vorletzte Woche der Sommerferien in BW) biete ich eine Mischung aus Einsatz und Studienreise nach Sarajevo an. Ursprünglich war das mit Jugendlichen aus unserer Gemeinde gedacht, da haben sich aber zu wenige interessiert.

Sarajevo ist die Hauptstadt von Bosnien-Herzegowina, eine spannende

I just set up my home to be voice controlled and responded by well, one of my favourite audio book narrators. Its as scary as it is silly. And no, I won’t keep it so. #audiomo

In response to their continued dismantling of valuable digital libraries, I officially refuse to buy any more books from members of the Association of American Publishers (AAP).

Yes, I'm aware this includes huge publishers like Penguin and Macmillan.

From now on, if I need a book from an AAP member for work or research, I will obtain it by other means.

If that means I have to steal it, so be it.
I will consider (CONSIDER) ending this strike if the ruling is reversed.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonti! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐕
Bouřilo i v noci, trošku mi to obouchalo rajčata, kedlubny mají potrhané listy, takže možná i pár krup nakonec spadlo. Mini bouřka tady byla i před chvílí, když jsme se vrátili z procházky. Byli jsme brzo, protože máme odjíždět na Hlubokou.
Teda doufám, že pojedeme.
Mezitím se znovu rozpršelo.
Snad jste všichni v pořádku a vstáváte s veselou náladou. Je sobota, den válení se, dobrého jídla a výletů! 😊👋

@archos Na to, jak moc strašili, jsou tady takové normální bouřky. Neobvyklé je jen to soustavné hřmění a množství blesků.

curious, have you considered using a Rust XML parser? xmlparser seems pretty good (if a little low level), I've been working on docs.rs/instant-xml/latest/ins… which takes a more serde-like approach (which may not be a good fit for librsvg).
in reply to Dirkjan Ochtman

@djc yeah, xmlparser is more like a high-level tokenizer, but one has to implement the actual XML semantics oneself (last time I looked). I'm waiting for someone else's XML parser (based on xmlparser's tokenization), but I don't think they've made it public yet...

Good luck with instant-xml! It seems practical for things like configuration files and things that are much more constrained than SVG.



Top Ten Shows I’d Like to See on DogTV

I just became aware of an on-demand TV service called DogTV. Apparently, this channel offers programs for humans as well as their dogs, probably similar to the channel which provides entertainment for babies. I knew that television was going to the dogs but I never knew this was literally the case, until now. After giving this some thought, I have compiled a top ten list of shows, movies and music that I hope to find on this channel.

1. Game of Bones
2. Keeping Up With the Cocker Spaniels
3. Regis and Collie
4. Designated Retriever
5. My Big, Fat Fabulous Labrador
6. Toy Poodle Story
7. That zombie classic … The Walking Dog
8. In music … I Want to Lick Your Hand … by the Beagles
9. Chicago Puppies
and finally …

10. Old Reruns of the Price is Right … with Bob Barker

Hi. ais it possible to reply to messages on your tech-vi list? I just tried to comment on the password manager topic and I think it bounced back.
in reply to Tina and Tony Sohl

@TinaSohl Hi. Tech-VI is an announce-only list, which is why your message bounced back. I considered setting up a companion list for subscribers to chat about articles which were sent to the main list but for a variety of reasons I decided against it.


For I38 users, the desktop got revamped. It is now more full featured and will start at the launch of i3. To launch something, just press enter on it. If you want the desktop to go away press escape. To bring it back, press your mod key + control + d.


Walmart is switching to electronic price tags that “allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds”. No one wants this!! No one wants surge pricing on ice cream and price increases on items already in your cart. npr.org/2024/06/17/nx-s1-50092…

Cosas que me llegan del PSOE hoy, ¡solo hoy! y sin mirar las noticias:

1. El PSOE de Monegros pide retirar el plan del lince al día siguiente de dejar de estar en peligro de extinción.
2. El PSOE tumba la ordenanza de Santiago de Compostela para ilegalizar 600 pisos turísticos.
3. El Gobierno baja el IVA del aceite de oliva al 0% a partir del 1 de julio.

MQTT in #Xojo

We can use our #RabbitMQ plugin/classes to connect to RabbitMQ server with MQTT Plugin.

Or use #CURL functions to connect directly to MQTT server and post new messages and subscribe to a topic.

Great way to automate something.

Hi @thunderbird
Could you please consider support for #bidirectional text in Thunderbird, too? (Like what other mail clients such as Roundcube, Gmail, etc have). So that there won't be a need to use add-ones to write RTL and LTR texts.

Here's a link to the issue:

Thanks so much for putting this as a suggestion into Connect! We're working on improving our replies and updates to community ideas, and this is a useful one for so many people. The next few weeks are pretty busy getting ready for 128, but please feel free to spread the word and encourage people to comment/upvote!


Not worth me talking around this one but for day 21 of #AudioMo, have a listen to me smashing a glass. I was on Whatsapp at the time hence the encoding.

There’s been attempts to get new Retro gaming forums going, but ultimately I think they struggle because it’s _another_ login to make & monitor etc..

So I propose this: a #RetroGaming email discussion list!

No new usernames or passwords required, no new places to monitor for goings on, it’s all in what you already have.

Fancy giving it a go? This is the sign-up link 😁👾🕹️
