Toddler has discovered the joys of parallel reading and book swapping at the same time.

So now she is "reading" a book on queer witchcraft and I am reading The Little Unicorn Can't Sleep.

🤷‍♀️

Update:
We have gotten the rent paid today. I went to the bank with someone to do it, and we left a message on the landlord's machine. I hope he gets it. If not, then it's on him, because we *did* pay it. We have the deposit reciept and everything if he wants proof.
Good news today. Hopefully the week can only get better.
Mom is still sick, but she has to change the numbers on the bills to this new card. I'm so glad that this card works. I was hoping it would.
I told the assistant manager that the bank marked this card as a fraud and she was shocked. Apparently, the Direct Express card is a cash advance card, or what she calls it. Yeah, it has the government payment on it, but it probably shouldn't have been marked as a fraud.
The direct express company didn't even know how to fix it except to say to get a new card.
Anyway, that is my good news. Now I'm going to relax.

Před pár dny jsem tu sdílel info, že botník press.coop končí a že se jeho boti stěhují na Flipboard.com.

Dneska jsem se tomu trochu věnoval a ukončil 2 boty, ale hlavně...

Na Flipboard.com aktuálně běží reálně několik stovek velmi zajímavých informačních zdrojů, počínaje ofiko @NationalGeographic a konče třeba @BBCNews.

Když si do Explore zadám Flipboard.com a nechám zobrazit všechny výsledky, je jich opravdu moooc a jsou hodně zajímavé, tak to zkuste.

Anyone know of a good gitops-configurable web server mostly for static files?

Looking for something a bit like Netlify but self-hosted. I want to basically point it at a git repo containing a Hugo site and server config and either have it pull regularly or respond to a web hook. On change, it rebuilds the site or updates its config.

Examples of things I want to configure today would be redirecting /.well-known/webfinger and similar to another host, or telling the server to send /.well-known/matrix/server as application/json even though it's just plain text.

And before anyone tells me to just use nginx with cron and maintain the config separately/manage restarts myself, or just shove the whole thing in a container, I know I can do those things and how. I'm just looking for a simple self-hosted HTTP endpoint for mostly static hosting and it blows my mind that doesn't exist. Caddy is mostly there but its git support is all in-memory, and its exec commands only run on start/shutdown.

Cool to see a company whose annual revenue is $250B announce a $1.25M open source security fund (that’s about three *minutes* of revenue), in a press release that without blinking or apparent irony (1) says maintainers need more time and (2) requires maintainers to take a multi-week, many-hour training program.

Today's Grammar Girl podcast talks about the difficulty of learning a new language as an adult, but also about the benefits that come from being bilingual, which made me curious ...

How many of you speak more than one language?

I'm trying to learn both Spanish and German right now.

I've been doing online Spanish lessons for years (but not with much diligence), and I took German in high school and just started playing around with online German lessons too.

Android Accessibility Progress Report: What’s Changed (and What Hasn’t) Since Spring 2024 accessibleandroid.com/android-… #Android #A11y #AI
in reply to Accessible Android

So they did not mention it but a ton of the google apps have actions now, I keep finding them without a hint they are there. Also not sure why you have issues with it speaking over voice recording, that stopped for me ages ago, like #TalkBack 12.1 ages ago, though this does seem to break with third party tts engines, also the #braille support if you did not know is currently on #Humanware to push a firmware update because even if the HID bluetooth had been released those devices would not work, so people need to pester Humanware about that. Also as of the last month or two Lookout appears as an accessibility app and can be mapped to a shortcut.
in reply to D.Hamlin.Music

@dhamlinmusic A tun? Please mention a few of them. And TalkBack keeps interfering with voice messages in most apps regardless of the TTS used, namely in WhatsApp.


Every day I get a comment asking me why I pronounce "GNOME" with a hard G.

It's because when I first learned about it, over one century ago, it was an acronym for "GNU Network Object Model Environment". And the GNU project pronounces GNU with a hard G.

Pronouncing GNOME with a hard G was useful as a way to distinguish the project from the mythical creature, and I was not alone in pronouncing it that way.

Over time the acronym fell away but my pronunciation stuck.

we never got Miguel to record himself pronouncing GNOME, like Linus did for Linux back in the day…

Danke.

Wer als Journalist oder Öffentlichkeitsarbeiter einer Organisation Microblogging kommerziell betreibt, mag ja bei Bluesky wirtschaftliche Chancen sehen.

Wer im gemeinnützigen Auftrag unterwegs ist und auch bei digitalen Dienstleistungen auf die Auswahl seiner Geschäftspartner achtet, dürfte sich schwer tun, sich mit der Bluesky PBLLC auf die Sicherstellung der grundlegenden Spielregeln zu einigen.

Oder gibt es andere BS Instanzen?

Soweit ich mitbekommen habe, ist bisher keine weitere Instanz bekannt. Es hat jemand den Betrieb einer Instanz geprüft und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass bei der Softwarearchitektur dermaßen hohe Serverkapazitäten nötig sind, dass ein föderales System, wie es mit ActivityPup möglich ist, wohl in absehbarer Zeit nicht zu erwarten ist.

Speaking of bread, I spent a lot of time thinking about why I simply don’t like the breads that many people like. I’ve come to a few conclusions:

1. Soft bread isn’t always terrible outside the U.S.
2. Since I eat a mainly East and SE Asian diet, wheat just isn’t a primary grain
3. Between noodles and rice dishes, there is realistically only space for crusty spreads sometimes (when I cook other cuisines)
4. The main cuisine I cook outside of those is Mediterranean so soft flatbreads work too

in reply to modulux

@modulux sometimes Europeans go to East Asia and complain about our soft breads. But they don’t see that those breads are our ‘fun snacks’ between meals. We almost never eat bread as a main meal

That view also completely discounts how Japanese, Korean, Chinese baking is totally its own thing and plays a different social role. It’s a luxury not an essential

in reply to Adrianna Tan

Yep, I've noticed people are introducing bao style breads here in Spain, and people are sometimes a little... confused by it. I think it's good in its own terms so long as one isn't expecting the sort of crunchy buns we eat here.
