🎉 The #NLnet Libervia-AV project is officially complete! 🎉
I've successfully implemented one-to-one calls, desktop sharing, group calls & more, plus ported #Galène #SFU to #XMPP.
Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project!
I'll probably post a blog about the work done around the end of the summer.
Now it's time for some vacations 😎.

I've proposed a merge request to GNOME's likely new Video Player app codenamed Showtime. The feature? Toggling between video duration and time remaining by clicking the end timestamp. :)
It's the little things!
I think this might be my first contribution to a GNOME Python app. It was a bit of a trip coming from Vala and JavaScript land, but I _think_ I did okay for a first pass.

So earlier this year I wrote about this cybercrime rapper named Punchmade Dev, who wears outlandishly gaudy and expensive stuff around his neck and croons in videos in front of stacks of cash at ATMs, talking about how to do wire fraud, cashout PayPal and Cash App accounts, etc. The story showed how this Punchmade character seems to be a 22-year-old guy in Lexington, Ky named Devon Turner who operates multiple web stores that sell apparently compromised payment cards and identity information (alongside check printing software and tutorials on....wait for it...OPSEC!).
On a hunch that maybe Punchmade's lack of opsec might have caught up with him, I checked PACER and found instead that he recently sued his bank, alleging they discriminated against him for his race over his denied request to transfer $75,000 out of his account. Incredibly, Mr. Turner signed his pro se complaint filed in a Kentucky court with the same phone number and email address that are tied to the Punchmade domain names that are selling products like "ID+ High Balance CC, ID front/back, SSN, and 7$k-10k CC, for $80"
Here's the story:
In January, KrebsOnSecurity wrote about rapper Punchmade Dev, whose music videos sing the praises of a cybercrime lifestyle. That story showed how Punchmade's social media profiles promoted Punchmade-themed online stores selling bank account and payment card data. Now the Kentucky native is suing
his financial institution after it blocked a $75,000 wire transfer and froze his account, citing an active law enforcement investigation.

One of Europe’s largest drug store chains Rossmann stops buying Teslas because Elon Musk supports the climate change denialism candidate Donald Trump.
Thank you to @agturcz for this find.
![Press release from Rossmann:
ROSSMANN no longer buys Tesla
06.08.2024 | Company, Sustainability
ROSSMANN will not purchase any more Tesla vehicles for its fleet from now on. This decision is based on the incompatibility between the statements of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the values that Tesla represents with its products.
In 2018, Elon Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Tesla exists to help reduce risk of catastrophic climate change, which affects all species on Earth. [...]".
"Elon Musk makes no secret of supporting Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a fraud - this attitude is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection by producing electric cars," says Raoul Roßmann, spokesman for the management.
For this reason, the company ROSSMANN will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles for its fleet in the future. ROSSMANN will continue to use the current stock of Tesla vehicles for reasons of sustainability and resource conservation. However, the company will rely on alternative manufacturers and models for future vehicle orders.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/579171 "Press release from Rossmann:

@markuswerle @jakob @pluralistic This is how I interpret the situation: #GitHub offers open source programs free access to GitHub actions today exactly as it did in the past. This access is limited in CPU performance and parallelism. It always was. All free CI services do this.
The #curl project was bumped to a fancier account to give us more actions powers: more CPU and more parallelism.
That is them doing us a favor and them supporting us, not the other way around.

(und ja, bin erst jetzt zum Testen gekommen, da ich keinen Bluetooth-Stick für den PC hatte).
¹ für die fragenden Blicke: Hand auf die rechte Hörmuschel schaltet von ANC auf Ambient und dreht die Lautstärke runter; Hand wieder weg macht das alles wieder rückgängig.

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •IzzyOnDroid ✅
in reply to SHIFTPHONES • • •Der Sound ist einfach Klasse. Was ich noch nicht herausfinden konnte ist, ob es auch eine Art "Ruhezustand/Stromsparmodus" kennt, wie etwa die von mir geschäftlich genutzten Jabra Evolve2. Wenn "nix los ist" gehen die auf "minimal" und "fahren wieder hoch", sobald wieder Sound anliegt. Erhöht quasi nochmal die Laufzeit pro Akkuladung.
Und bitte liebe Leutz, keinesfalls im Straßenverkehr oder so nutzen. Speziell nicht mit ANC, da sind die echt "stille Nacht" bzgl. Außen-Ton!

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •wie ist denn Dein aktueller Eindruck zu den Kopfhörern, nach der inzwischen vergangenen Zeit? Ist der immer noch so begeisternd?
Mich würde noch interessieren:
- wie gut sitzen die am Ohr. Ich hatte bis vor kurzem einen Sony MX3 der saß recht gut trotz der Hörgeräte hinter dem Ohr.
- taugen die auch um mal zu telefonieren, da waren meine alten im Mikrofonton recht schwach.
Danke.

in reply to the kangaroo • • •@the_halmaturus Vom Klang bin ich nach wie vor begeistert. Telefonieren habe ich damit noch nicht probiert, aber vergleichbar (Jitsi/Matrix Call) – und hat gut geklappt (habe die Gegenseite nicht explizit gefragt, aber hat sich nicht beschwert, war ein langer Call).
Zwei kleine Probs: kann nicht als USB-Headset genutzt werden (wusste ich aber vorher) – und nach ~24h muss ich meinen BT-Dongle abziehen, damit das SHIFTSound wieder connected (vermute Dongle-Problem hier).

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •@the_halmaturus (2/2)
Dongle ist ein günstiges, muss mal ein anderes probieren. Und USB geht nur zum Aufladen – das fand ich beim Jabra gut, dass man da bei "Akku leer" einfach USB anstecken konnte und weiter gehts mit Sound UND Laden.
Als Brillenträger habe ich noch damit zu kämpfen, dass die Brillenbügel mit den Hörmuscheln "kollidieren", das drückt dann schon ein wenig. Dafür ist aber ANC Klasse: wirklich Ruhe, merkt man deutlich.
