Seriously thinking about going to INIT HELLO (init-hello.org/), the new conference for fans of the Apple II family of computers. On the one hand, I'm not really seriously into retro-computing. On the other hand, I do dabble in it (I have a working Apple II emulation setup using MAME), and I grew up with an Apple IIGS at home and Apple IIe at school, so it sounds like a fun nerdy thing to do over a weekend (plus two days off work for travel there and back).

INIT HELLO - Celebrate the Apple II - July 26-27, 2025 in Hunt Valley, MD

A new Apple II conference is coming to the System Source Computer Museum north of Baltimore, Maryland, this July 26–27, 2025.

Dear Fedi friends,

By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…

I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️

GNOME Has a New Infrastructure Partner: Welcome AWS!

With an ever-growing contributor base, GNOME infrastructure has an increasing number of demands placed on it — and only two engineers. AWS saved us from the burden of manually scaling our infra. Thank you AWS!

With macOS Tahoe, you can now dictate Swift code, and navigate Xcode with Voice Control. Designed for developers with limited use of the keyboard, we strived to make the experience natural and intuitive. Just say the code like you're talking to a person, and let Voice Control handle the formatting for you.

Please check out the demo video (starts at 03:10), and give it a try. We can't wait to hear what you think.

We have packaged MapComplete as an Android app (available for testing on app.mapcomplete.org)

We are however also looking to get it published into the Google Play Store - but are facing difficulties. @pietervdvn (who will maintain this) can't get verified. Does someone have hints on what documents to submit?

Or is there someone out there whom already _has_ a verified developer account who want to publish the apps on our behalf? (Maybe @streetcomplete , @vespucci_editor or @CoMaps ?)

In our feed there are some interesting horrible stories about Play Store against our Free Software app. Good luck with Google semestral censorship surprises.
F-Droid is honestly very slow in releasing each tagged version (e.g. 4-5 days) but we still love F-Droid.

Congratulations 🍾 app are nightmares. We hope only the best after this choice.

(tip: toot about Google/F-Droid issues, people is happy to help also on fediverse)

Telegram wirbt mit Sicherheit – doch laut einer Recherche kontrolliert ein russischer Netzwerktechniker namens Vedeneev große Teile der Infrastruktur, inklusive IP-Adressen und Serverzugang. Seine Firmen kooperierten mit FSB & Militär. Selbst »Ende-zu-Ende«-Chats lassen sich laut Experten zur Nutzerverfolgung ausnutzen. 👇

I tried on my PC and it didn't work, same with my phone but with my phone using mobile data it works so I can only think it's something ISP related maybe? I did try the ping command prompt and got a timed out so yeah very strange.

Just to check I tried with Firefox (main browser), chrome and edge and all of them didn't load the webpage.

Ráda se otužuje – nejen ve svém kariérním životě.“ Tahle věta mně napadla, když jsem doplňoval popis zítřejší přednášky s @evapavlikova

Back when Apple first revealed Aqua, there was a quote from an executive at a paper company. I haven't been able to find it in years, but it said something to the effect of, “we spend tons of R&D money trying to make paper as opaque as possible, and here Apple is spending CPU cycles deliberately making things translucent.”

That's been on my mind ever since, as UIs have gone through Aqua, Aero, iOS 7, etc.
