The Space Shuttle had a 59-pound printer on board, known as the Interim Teleprinter. Putting this heavy printer in orbit cost $1.5 million per flight, but it was a key piece of flight hardware,
providing the astronauts with mission plans, weather reports, and other documents from Mission Control. Let's take a look inside... 1/12
The teleprinter is a large device, a bit smaller than a microwave, with a roll of yellow paper running through it. The teleprinter has rails for mounting in a locker. It has some controls and switches on the front, which is grayish metal.

Ah, I can see this: github.com/Ivy-Apps/ivy-wallet…. I'm not a dev so I don't know what's going on there. It's a nice app but since it's not on F-droid I'm kinda skeptical about it so I disable network access for it xD

@triskelion I'm no Android dev either, but that would change the app name shown to drop the "Demo".

But before I give you false hope there, I'v just looked into the latest release: wouldn't be welcome at IoD, sorry. Comes with Crashlytics, Firebase, GMS etc – so too many proprietary components. Also, why would a wallet app need your location? The app description gives no clue (but speaks of "privacy"). Draw your own conclusions, and I might be wrong to call that "a bit risky"…

So many folks talk about how they're being "forced to accept" things that go against their beliefs. You're not being forced to accept them. If you have a problem with people of color, with gay marriage, with trans people, with immigrants, with women of any race, etc. then you're still welcome to feel however you want to feel about those people. You're just not allowed to make their lives harder because of your feelings. You're not allowed to turn their daily lives into a battle ground. No one is forcing you to "accept" a single thing. You're just not being allowed to terrorize people.

Sidewalks used to be wider. It’s a fact that rarely gets acknowledged in discussions about road diets. Usually the road diet debate is framed as taking space AWAY from cars. Really it’s about giving it BACK to pedestrians. Here’s a good article about it tinyurl.com/2s4bzxw3

Reading about Festival Republic's mysterious 2 Hz vibration (cc @0x47df)

festivalrepublic.com/crystalpa…

In the summer of 2022, Festival Republic commissioned acoustics consultancy Vanguardia (a Buro Happold company) to undertake an independent scientific study of the vibration reported in the homes of some local residents during recent Wireless Festivals at Finsbury Park and Crystal Palace. The findings of that study relate to vibration that is felt by local residents rather than heard. It has very particular characteristics that makes it stand out in a mix of other vibration from local sources in a home such as footsteps, a washing machine spinning or the closing of doors. It is at a very low frequency, close to 2 Hz (it is a pattern of vibration which repeats every half second) and it is sensed in some local homes at the upper floors of taller buildings as a swaying motion. This ‘2 Hz vibration’ was identified using sophisticated remote vibration monitoring techniques undertaken in 12 local homes over the two Wireless 2022 weekends. Homes are naturally full of vibration as people go about their daily routines so the analysis looked at pairs of monitors in different homes to identify which segments of vibration entered from outside the buildings and then compared this to vibration measurements undertaken on the Wireless sites themselves. This 2 Hz vibration was identified as matching the reports from some local residents where they have experienced a swaying motion in their homes and noticed clothes hung in wardrobes swing on their hangers or letterboxes flap...

Imane Khelif is a cis woman, she has experienced 9 losses against other women in her career, including the 2020 Olympics where she lost against Irish participant Kellie Harrington. Yet, the usual transphobes are currently unleashing a vile attack against her, misgendering her, accusing her of being a man competing unfairly and having some sort of advantage against her fellow athletes, all because she doesn't fit their incredibly limited norm of how a woman should look.

Suddenly, people who never cared or know much about the sport are very interested in women's boxing, and found a scapegoat in her in order to spread their disinformation. Khelif is currently receiving more vitriol than convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde who was still allowed to compete.

This is basically yet another reminder that it was never about genuinely caring for the safety of women. Transphobia is dangerous for everyone, *including* us cis women, and that the links between TERF ideology and white supremacy are very real. Feminism isn't feminism if it's not intersectional.

Lin Yu-ting originally got into boxing wanting to protect her mother from domestic violence, which clearly shows that she has experienced domestic abuse first hand.

Imane Khelif grew up in poverty, she started boxing when she became good at dodging the physical attacks of boys in her village, traveled 10km to train, and had to work to pay for her own bus fare, as her father didn't approve of boxing for girls. An experience that a lot of girls who grew up having so-called "tomboy" interests are probably familiar with. I know I am. She has recently become a UNICEF ambassador, aiming to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams. (unicef.org/algeria/en/stories/…)

Not that the transphobia and clear racist undertones of attacking these two women, despite the fact that they are both cis, aren't horrible enough, but there's something particularly sinister and cruel in the fact that the people who decided to paint them as villains and keep circulating disinformation about both, claim to act in the name of ending violence against women and protecting women's rights.

In the ongoing saga of trying to return a bottle I picked up at a shop in the station at Sloterdijk. Having failed at a supermarket in Leiden I tried the machine at Utrecht centraal. But apparently I'm too fucking stupid to return a bottle...

This is the machine. I can't work out how to use it. I have up after 5 mins. There seems to be no interactive mechanism. And you need a fucking app to use it ?!?! Which utter ableist fucking moron came up with this idea?

A grey rectangular machine with various locked doors. In the middle is a black panel with an oblong shape gloss panel, a round black panel. A silver knob. And a screen.
The screen on the machine. It is in Dutch and says: "Lever heir je flessen en blikjes me statiegeld in" Further down it says "Krijk geld turug via dw tikkie app of dinner aan een goed doel"

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to take another stab at implementing #Passbook (#pkpass) support in #Catima.

It's going okay but I'm having trouble hunting down test cases, especially test cases with localized strings.

Do you have any .pkpass file you're willing to share with me? If so, please send them to me and tell me if you're okay with me including them in Catima unit tests. Feel free to censor things before sending (but please tell me what you censored).

Thanks!

The Marrakesh Treaty has led to countries opening up their copyright laws and allowing the reproduction of accessible books. However, there are still many limitations. For example, 18.7% of the participating countries have a commercial availability check, and 38% have a secondary law that might require a check.Hopefully, the European Accessibility Act fully taking effect in June, 2025 will lead to a proliferation of accessible books provided by publishers. #accessibility repository.ifla.org/handle/123…

Glad to hear this!
For now, I'm not making checkpoints available due to them being unstable.
While initial results are promising, I discovered an issue with FFT parameters. Fixed it, and currently waiting for the server to become available to fine-tune with corrected data.
Upon getting consistent output quality, I'll publish an online demo, and make the pretrained checkpoints available via HuggingFace.

If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: disconnect.blog/generative-ai-…

Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.

@s_levi_s Codeberg is running a single server (~130W) on renewable energy. We know that we can reach more efficiency, mostly because we don't benefit from scaling effects yet.

The difference is more like this:
- we do not encourage users to use more resources, because it would cost us more. Most competitors do the opposite (e.g. recommending the use of heavy CI pipelines), simply because it makes more revenue
- we do not spend any computing power on tracking and unnecessary data collection

@s_levi_s

It's one of those days where I'm missing Window-eyes 2.1 and 3.1, and feeling kind of sad over it. Also the Windows 3.1 Program Manager. Sigh. I will wallow in this feeling for a bit. Also not having Brailab and the classic Hungarian DOS games I grew up with while my American counterparts enjoy their retro DOS games with Mame, kind of makes me more nostalgic, I guess.
