Push for CalDAV and CardDAV is getting real 😃 We're opening a new chapter of high-speed syncing for the whole open WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV ecosystem.
If you want to be the first of the first trying it out yourself you shouldn't miss @nextcloud Conference (Sept. 14 + 15 in Berlin) this year where we'll be revealing this to a broader audience for the very first time!
Here's a teaser of what's coming :)
For more details have a look at our (still ongoing) work here: github.com/bitfireAT/webdav-pu…

A massive thanks to @davetaylor2112 for alerting me to the UK train ifo app for iOS, 'Nearly Departed.'
Why I didn't know about this or use it sooner is beyond me. It was invaluable yesterday. They also explicitly mention #VoiceOver on the main page, so props to them for that.
'Accessible
The app has been extensively tested with iOS accessibility features, such as VoiceOver and Dynamic Type.'
If you take a lot of national rail trains in the UK and use iOS, you need this app too.
Our Linux-based smartphone puts you in control. No tracking, no data mining, just pure freedom.
Join the revolution. #Librem5 #DigitalPrivacy

I've seen a few people talking the new "Zen" browser, which is based off of Firefox instead of being yet another Chromium variant.
So I checked out their website[1]... the first big image shows a collection of browser windows. One is being used to browse birdsite, while the other is on GitHub's home page with a tagline "The world's leading AI-powered developer platform".
Their header has a "Useful Links" section which points to
1. Their privacy policy
2. Their **discord**
Then I looked at their privacy policy and apparently if you want to contact the dev team your options are:
1. again, their discord
2. github
Folks, I'm just gonna go ahead and say you should skip this one.

Ahora, mucha más gente puede generar «contenidos» (odio la palabra, pero la uso a propósito aquí). Se nota en 
, donde hasta la empresa más matada tiene ahora ilustraciones «lo suficientemente buenas».
Pero también hay vigías del sector de los creativos que dicen que la facturación está disminuyendo. En un entorno de freelances explotados, esta vuelta de tuerca puede ser la última. (🧵)

So, I was a dungeon master when I was a kid.
But I didn't know it.
When my sister and I were playing in the backyard, I would stand at the top of the stairs and say something like, OK. I am Nancy Drew and you're George, and we have to rescue Bess. This is a pirate ship. And we have to go into the basement.
(Don't judge.)
And bam! We played. I would add plots and twists, and Bess was always rescued. Or we foiled a kidnapping or we found the treasure or we were japanese variety singers who were ALSO detectives.
Goddammit. I wanna play some D&D! I had no idea this was what it was!!

This account generally contains thoughts in my own words, and reposted content in the original posters’ own words. I avoid simple slogans, chants, and pithy statements about current events without further elaboration. Examples include “Support X”, “boost if you believe Y, keep scrolling if you don’t”, and “down with Z”. I’ll also make an effort to move away from idioms that serve as thought-terminating clichés.
I’ll make exceptions for jokes, or for slogans alongside original thoughts or links.
The line between simple slogans on social media and thought-terminating clichés is too blurry in my mind for me to amplify on my own account. I feel that the dynamics on here are different from in-person protests, and we don’t need to resort to easily-filtered/ignored repetitive chants to get people to understand what we’re trying to say. This is more of a personal gut feeling than a strongly-held belief, and I don’t look down on the use of slogans; I just don’t see myself boosting them. I’m happy to boost more nuanced, personal, or substantive posts that lend themselves less to repetition.

Over the past week, the Singapore government issued the Transformative Justice Collective two correction directions under the anti-"fake news" law, accusing us of spreading falsehoods with regard to recent executions. But their "corrections" actually *confirm* what TJC reported, which was that death row prisoners had been issued execution notices even while they were party to ongoing legal proceedings.

Unknown parent • • •@sadmin yes, you'll need a third party app. you can choose however. It should work with any UnifiedPush distributor like ntfy or Conversations or even the Nextcloud app.
In the Gplay version (not yet implemented) you won't need any - there it will be routed through Firebase FCM since this is pre-installed on all Androids that have Google Play Services. However we need to provide a proxy server for the method through GPlay then.
