I'm getting tired of software developers berating normal people for buying everyday household items on Amazon, considering that 3/4 of its operating income comes from the cloud computing services it sells to software developers.

(read it here when you feel all haughty, nerds: fool.com/investing/2024/01/10/… )


People Think Amazon Is an E-Commerce Company, but 74% of Its Profit Comes From This Instead

The overwhelming majority of Amazon's operating income comes from a business that accounts for just 16% of the company's revenue.

@hub I generally think we should give small shops a pass, because untangling all the pieces is so difficult — like, if you use Shopify or whatever, & some email newsletter service, & some responsive CSS framework etc., figuring out where all those layers of gunk are served from originally us virtually impossible if, say, you are a sock maker not a sysadmin.

For the big vendors, I assume accountants tell HQ they save .000001% or something. I agree that they should feel the brunt of the pressure.

@hub Sure; I just wanted to put that detail out there for general reading. Too many mastodonners believe everyone is obligated to become a Unix sysadmin.

But now I wonder: do you have any idea where to track what the big chains use on their tech stacks?

It seems like the sort of thing someone might already publish, to shine some daylight on it, but I'm not aware. Maybe it needs doing.

Recently I had a presentation at @tehlug (Tehran Linux Users Group) with this title: "How did my application get accepted into Gnome Circle?" I talked about Open-source communities, @gnome and more specifically Gnome Circle, and the process of creating an application and making it part of the Gnome Circle Ecosystem (from idea to the final app), I've mentioned my experiences with the Drum Machine application I made and tried to encourage them to start contributing to FOSS as much as they can.

Eta Carina by JWST (Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope) extends over seven screens here, I cut the poster's core part so that I have enough single pictures... it's on two laptops connected with #barrier #kde
Note: The Nasa guys told me this photo (like so many others from JWT are only possible because they extensively use #opensource, e.g for position corrections and calculations.)
Here's the full version, I also made a DIN A1 poster of it - well worth the frame.

What kind of fucked up world are we living in? All these companies should be sued and made accountable for all the damage they’ve done and are continuing to do to our planet. Make them pay to fix the mess they’ve made.

Why fear of billion-dollar lawsuits stops countries phasing out fossil fuels

Companies can sue governments for closing oilfields and mines – and the risk of huge damages is already stopping countries from passing green laws, ministers say

At FOSDEM in Brussels (2025-02-01/02) we've met the #Baba team, which develops an Android app for @panoramax (the "self-hosted Street View" based on @openstreetmap – also see wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Pa…). We wanted to bring their app to the "libre space", so we discussed how we could make that possible. We found a way to get the app ready for #IzzyOnDroid 🥳 So be prepared for today's AndroidAppRain, to find this app that lets you contribute!

Many thanks to Alexis for making this possible 🥰

Braille, for those of you who do not know this, is a tactile writing system consisting of raised characters which is usually read by the fingers. However, if a braille reader does not have fingers, they can read using other parts of the body, often the toes or the lips.

In this regard, it would be perfectly possible to read braille with the clitoral glans, as braille does not inherently require fingers to read. However, there is a major caveat to this.

in reply to Vagina Museum

Vagina Museum

The first problem with reading braille using your clitoral glans is one of distraction by becoming immediately very turned on. The clitoris is made from erectile tissue. When you're aroused, it becomes erect, and applies pressure to itself, the vagina and the urethra. Rubbing the glans can provoke this response. It would therefore make reading difficult, although not impossible if you set your mind to it.

Ten years ago it was a big deal that HTTP/2 appeared to only work over TLS so I blogged about it.

HTTPS everywhere is less controversial today I think.

TLS in HTTP/2

I've written the http2 explained document and I've done several talks about HTTP/2. I've gotten a lot of questions about TLS in association with HTTP/2 due to this, and I want to address some of them here.

@denisbloodnok @Tooden Yes, linear TV networks are doing pretty badly these days.

Can't talk about Sky specifically, I don't know the UK TV market, but globally, it's a bloodbath.

Personalized advertising and algos everywhere is completely destroying everything else. Newspapers (even online newspapers) are worthless, when the alternative is a service that will give you exactly the articles you want to read, no matter who writes them.

@miki Fox News generates about 70% of its parent company's profit of 1.5 billion dollars per year. If that's a bloodbath, I'd like to get a few cuts myself!

Meanwhile of course online ads have the problem that when someone starts using an adblocker they never stop... and the snoopier online ads get, the more likely people are to install ad blockers.

The IAB called ad blocking an "existential threat", so I'm not sure they share your confidence.

Some great litanies from Tumblr:

❧ if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost

❧ take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle

❧ fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism

❧ now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

❧ bigger idiots than you have done it <- litany against imposter syndrome

A look at the latest from Iftah - plus a full externals pack for developers working on adding accessibility features in Max for Live is on the way soon! Curious what folks think of this / how they use it!

So the primary thing I've learned from trying out the Ducky One #mechanical#keyboard is just how much lag my previous keyboards (a codekeyboard and a razer) were adding. I use a #screenreader, so I'm deeply aware of the audio lag from headphones and the audio subsystem, and configure things to reduce that as much as I can. I also knew bluetooth can introduce lag. But on picking up the Ducky...wow! A few ms can really matter! My system feels faster than it's ever felt before. Even if I wind up returning this, now I know that keyboard refresh rate is a thing I care about. Also, the inductive switches feel really nice and clicky to press, but are reasonably quiet for those around me.

EDIT: Solved, see comments 🤓​

Question for @thunderbird: I have no clue what I have changed, but since a while this message subfolder appears optically as an „sent“ folder, although it is not. And it stands above all other subfolders within the same folder, and with that outside of the alphabetical order of the rest.

How can I change this back? And what do you suggest I did to accomplish that (so that I won't do that again)?

Small picture that shows a few folders in Thunderbird. Their names are „Fotofoo“, „Futter“, and under the last one there are subfolders named „Motatos“, „DM“, and „Dr._Oetker“. All folders have the typical yellow folder icon, while the Motatos folder has a green icon like a paper plane, as usually shown for sent folders.

For a while, a dog in Milan, Italy named Cacao, frequently rode the No. 54 bus—by himself! Yes, really. He would only board the bus if he recognized the driver, whom he had known for years. Cacao would go to a park and simply wander around gardens and public spaces before taking the same bus back to his house, where his owner, known only as Nicoletta, would wait for him to come back.
Here is Cacao, about to board the No. 54 bus.

how? Are we really talking about the same? My workflow is:
1) download *.360 video files
2) use ffmpeg to convert *.360 to Equirectangular mp4
3) edit in kdenlive using "VR360" effects.

I would like to skip the step 2) and edit the 360 file directly. But I can't find how.
