It's always a pleasure to share a call with @AiraVI agent #Jeff. He is one of the best and a definite asset to their team and I want the world to know it. He is one of my favorites. 👏👍 I always give positive feedback but I wish we could somehow reward agents that go above and beyond and make calls a pleasure through their great attitudes and willingness to help with a smile on their face that can be heard.

@CreativeChris @DavidGoldfield Aww that’s a lovely story and yes, I cannot imagine life without it either. That is why I am very happy to pay for it monthly.
in reply to Robin Frost

@CreativeChris Jeff and Sid are definitely top-notch agents, and I also put Peter on that list.


morning everyone! so it is cold. i have been freezing all morning but it started well so i am thankful for that. i watched a couple of my favorite shows this morning, and now i shall see what kind of craziness i get into. maybe music or something that doesnt require being cold. lol. have a lovely and awesome day! :)
in reply to juana🌹🐾💖

Aww, have a hug from me. It's virtual, but I hope it gives you the warm energy you need. :)


There is a small number of things in life that you can control. There is a much larger set of things that you can't. It takes a lifetime to learn how to let those go. I'm still learning.
in reply to blindnerd

Learning how to let go is one of the steps, but the first one is to realise you need to let go of some things. It's hard for everyone, and true for everyone.

Ich hab mir gerade meinen ersten "Plötzlich Long Covid" Text durchgelesen, den ich vor 10 Monaten geschrieben habe und ich komm mir jetzt rückblickend so naiv vor! Damals war ich überzeugt davon, dass ich die Erkrankung in 3 Monaten bewältigt haben werde und sah es als kurzweilige Episode, die wieder vorübergeht. In der Zwischenzeit war ich an ganz persönlichen Tiefpunkten - nach der Reha und nach dem Krankenhaus - die für mich zuvor nicht einmal vorstellbar waren.

in reply to Barbara Wimmer - shroombab

Ich lebe schon einige Jahre damit und frage mich immer wieder, wie soll man Menschen begegnen, die noch voller Hoffnung sind, dass das wieder weggeht?

Ja es wird bei einigen wieder besser oder ganz verschwinden, aber die eigene Erfahrung ist halt eine ganz andere und man möchte auch niemandem die Hoffnung nehmen...

Most of Team Thunderbird is heading into a long weekend, but not before we share our latest Community Office Hours video! We sat down for a chat with Mark Surman, president of the @mozilla Foundation, to talk about Thunderbird's history and hopefully long future!

I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Curious how other screen reader users are using Bluesky, if at all? The webapp and the iOS app both leave a lot of #accessibility to be desired it seems.

I WONDER IF THIS IS A SIGN THAT X MIGHT BE USED FOR FOREIGN INTERFERENCE??

independent.co.uk/news/world/a…



Just think. This time next year we'll all be sitting here in Canada and our Prime Minister will be a foreign-owned subsidiary of the same billionaires, oligarchs and dictators the US is.

They own all the media, public broadcasting is now unrecognizable where it still exists at all and everything is being privatized.

Women's rights are in danger and for-profit incarceration centres are popping up to centralize their slave labor, though of course it's not called that.

Health is for winners.

Samidoun es una red internacional de solidaridad con las presas y presos políticos palestinos.

Defendemos a todos los presos, los que no han hecho nada, y los que sí han hecho algo, porque defendemos el derecho a Palestina a resistir el colonialismo israelí.

Esto nos ha causado censura, persecución e ilegalizaciones en varios países. Y nos han cerrado nuestras cuentas de RRSS en muchos países, también en España.

Dicen que el sueño de la razón produce monstruos. Y es cierto, pero también prodigios.

Y en 1979 un puñado de inconscientes se olvidaron de lo razonable para crear algo increíble.

Aunque en ese momento, nadie lo entendió.

Tuve la suerte de ir a un concierto suyo en Bilbao de casualidad. Estaba allí con familiares y quería ir a algo de jazz y tocaba su trío. Fue una pasada.

The gnome-control-center panel I’ve been working on for the last many weeks is now ready for review, including a new chart widget for showing time spent using the computer screen (so you have some visibility into your compute use habits).

Glad to finally have this off my plate and on its way to being reviewed and hopefully merged.

There is something I want sighted people to understand about blind people. If you see a blind person heading toward a wall, tree, bench, or any other object they might bump into and potentially get injured, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should immediately try to pull them out of the way. It's completely natural to feel concerned, but a better approach would be to just warn them and ask if they need help. While there are times when it's actually needed, it might also be that they are going toward a landmark they use for orientation, and as unfortunate as it is, you might unintentionally get them confused and disorientated. I often purposely look for such objects to better remember the route, and not all places are accessible enough for me to be able to get back on track if I take a wrong turn. Your help and concern are really appreciated a lot, but sometimes things are different from how they seem, and that's why it's always better to ask first.

@modulux And what about those who, in the same situation, manage everything by shouting: BEWARE, BEWARE; or: Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas, alas!
