Update zu meinen weg, #wegvongoogle

Ich habe noch mehr #Google APPs gefunden,
selbst der dämliche Wecker war von Google aber ich sollte nun alles mögliche gelöscht/deaktiviert haben. Dafür habe ich viele gute #opensource APPs gefunden. Meist ähnliche oder identisch zu ihren Google equivalent, meistens bieten die Open source Varianten sogar mehr features. Ich hab jetzt vpn, DNS sever mit firewall, APP blocker & nutze #ArcaneChat
Fazit: umstieg auf #F-droid / Open Source lohnt sich.

Po přečtení článku @sesivany zkouším AdGuard Home.

root.cz/clanky/adguard-home-be…

Předně bych chtěl říct, že nějaký takovýhle tool je must have do každé domácí sítě. Používám už dlouho Pi.Hole, takže mě občas překvapí, jak jiný je internet u nás doma v porovnání třeba s internetem u mého táty.

Nám Pi.Hole odfiltruje cca 20 % dotazů. Ale v době, kdy děti jely Android hry, tak to bylo klidně 60-70 %.

AdGuard jsem se ale rozhodl zkusit, protože Pi.Hole má takové ubastlené uživatelské rozhraní, tak mě zajímá, jestli bych si třeba nějak nepomohl.

@testmir Za mě to má pár výhod. Zrychlí se načítání webů, zvlášť pokud si na slabší lince. Navíc můžeš nastavit jiná pravidla pro sebe a pro děti. Já si třeba blokuju Facebook. Žena zase chce povolit nějaké reklamní hosty, aby fungovaly odkazy na jedné konkrétní stránce. Dětem pak zablokuješ porno, hazard, TikTok a podobně. Takže záleží jestli to chceš nějak customizovat nebo ne.

Alors que Discord semble se préparer à entrer en bourse, ça semble le bon moment pour commencer à prévoir la sortie du silo fermé dans lequel votre communauté se trouve. #Emmerdification

En alternative qui vous conviendra peut-être, Framasoft propose framateam.org (mais d'autres options existent, avec leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients, comme @element / @matrix).

Start considering moving your communities out of Discord now. Don’t wait for the enshittiffication to arrive, the clock is ticking. No one will listen to me, but let’s talk again later. reuters.com/business/chat-plat…

Et pourquoi pas #XMPP ?

Loin d'être seulement un protocole, c'est une communauté fédérée qui propose une alternative en phase avec la protection de la vie privée (salons semi-anonymes, facilement auto-hébergeable avec #snikket), la sobriété énergétique (serveurs très peu consommateurs, repose sur des connexions TLS idle), et très compatible avec les idées du logiciel libre (normes gérées par une fondation au fonctionnement démocratique @xmpp, logiciels et clients majeurs entièrement libres).

What happened to Renee Nicole Good is not an anomaly or a rare phenomenon.

The only unusual factor is that she was white.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. She survived but has a hole in her arm forever.

Silverio Villegas González was shot dead in Franklin Park Illinois when he panicked and tried to run.

Then there’s the more than 30 people who’ve died in the camps.

No accountability. No punishment.

Keep speaking out. Let’s make sure this officer is held responsible.

Tonight I’m thinking about #emigration and how tempting it feels. Right now, at this moment, there’s nothing I’d like better than to just up and leave from this country that has turned into a complete and utter hellscape for any of us who still hold onto even a shred of our humanity. I’ve heard people posit that it’s relatively easy to leave, but I beg to differ. First, not only am I a person with a disability, I’m also married to another person with a disability, and I already know many countries take a rather dim view of people with disabilities popping up. Public charge, anyone? It doesn’t matter that I have guaranteed income, and Sarah is employed. So emigrating is pretty much a nonstarter. I even looked into #Canada a while ago, since I am second generation (my grandfather emigrated from Quebec), but that doesn’t give me any special perks. So, as long as I’m stuck here, I’ll just continue annoying people with my periodic shitposts.

I feel like it would take a lot of planning. I don't think it would be particularly easy, either, but I haven't really tried to look into it, so other people might know things that I don't. It would probably be somewhat easier for someone who can retire and doesn't need to worry too much about generating income, and of course the cost of living is lower in some places, and every country will have its own rules. I was reading an article about Thailand (I think) having the equivalent of assisted living facilities targeted at expats from places like the US. I was reading a post from someone trying to emigrate (I don't know what his reasons were), but his employer wasn't being supportive, so he would eventually need to find another job. I don't think I would leave, personally. Aside from the disability-related reasons you mention, I would need to figure out where to go and take the time to learn the logistics of trying to establish residency somewhere else. It would be a longer trip to visit my family, and I'd need to learn a new place and likely a new language. I'm not nearly as eager to uproot myself as I might've been when I was younger and had more energy. Sometimes I phantasize about living in a village near the ocean on an island in the south Pacific (and I know that that's oddly specific--sometimes I wonder if I had a past life like that and I'm sub-consciously remembering it, but no way to know), but it's not something that I'm likely to actually try to do.

but, essentially, the music is emitted from the music, through bone conduction is emitted from the stick, but does not start playing until one has the sucker at the back of the mouth, so when one bites on it, the song vibrates through the jawbones.. But once the sucker has been eaten, the music stops. I guess one can keep the stick. not sure if anything else could be done with it after that. Sounds kind of wasteful if not.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

Krásné dobré ráno zmrzlí mastodonti! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐶
Záměrně píšu zmrzlí a ne zamrzlí. V tom by byl obrovský rozdíl. A už vůbec namrzlí....Ale to zase odbočuju někam jinam na tenký led.....šmarja zase špatně....no prostě máme tady -14 a já mám po venčení asi z mozku ledovou kostku. 😂 Sira Artura už druhý den necháváme doma. Chodí se venčit stejně, jako Jeho Lordstvo. A já dneska budu v práci úplně sama! Heeeeč! Jenom teda budu muset kontrolovat skleníky, protože zlobí vytápění a já bych popřípadě musela znovu nahazovat kotel. A zítra mám volno, protože s Dcerou národa jedeme k doktorovi. Její zdravotní problémy přetrvávají a pořád nikdo neví, co jí je. Čeká nás vyšetření na gastru.
Na vás dneska určitě někde čeká nějaké příjemné překvapení, tak si dnešní den pořádně užijte! 😊

Another day, another reply guy telling blind people to pay or "lower your expectations" to use free and open source apps😩
Weird how many of those there are, on this website especially! vmst.io/@RyanFrancis/115854200…


@jonathan859 you're throwing cash at the big apps by giving them unlimited access to your data to sell, while these free apps don't sell data, don't have ads, and don't have a revenue stream at all.

You're expecting devs to just "magic" a fully featured app to compete with mega corporations for nothing.

Either drop your expectations a little and show some gratitude or pay them.

Hey sorry, I've been away from my desk since about when you posted this question! Since you didn't get any answers that I see, I'm not sure if you're still experienceing this, but yes, Microsoft been making changes, not all for the better, in VSCode lately. Reporting the line & column number are currently working as expected for us, but alternate releases seem to fix, then re-break it. Best suggestion is to complain to Microsoft's Disability Answer Desk: microsoft.com/en-au/accessibil…

What's wrong, is their AI so bad that it can't handle this minor inconvenience for them?

If you like to neaten things up, and particularly if you want to mount, say a 8-port gigabit router or whatnot under a desk or just out of the way, 3M Dual Lock strips are your bestie—it locks with itself, so you don't have to deal with separate hook and loop pieces

I've hung huge 180w Dell power bricks on the underside of my desks at work, and if I have to replace one, just cut another strip off the roll and attach to the part already stuck to the desk

It's the program that never quits. EdSharp. Just remembered it, like 5 minutes ago and it still runs on Windows 11. It's better behaved than Notepad, friendlier than a little puppy with a waggily tail. It will be your friend when you program. It's the slinky of all text editors. github.com/EmpowermentZone/EdS…

FYI The INFO-Neige app no longer free for users—is it worth $4.99 every 6 months?

311 Montréal app is free... but it's nothing like the INFO-Neige app, eh.

C'est dommage. :(

I updated my Debian 12 server to Debian 13. I wish Windows updates were that painless. The update ran because I explicitly told it to. There were no long restarts, no "don't turn off your computer" pre-Windows screens, no surprises. Just some terminal commands, one restart (which I asked for), and that was it. Debian 12 became Debian 13. Smooth, easy, painless, and directly under my control.

Damn. Sometimes I forget how useful claude is. So I was struggling to add my classes this semester to my calendar. The Apple Calendar app on iOS is an absolute mess (for me at least) and I needed to add 3 classes, all of which had different times and dates. I decided, screw it. I'll have Claude try to add it to my account. Instad, it comes up with a better idea. It creates this .ICS file. All I had to do was open Outlook, import, boom. All my classes are on my calendar now. No catches.

I just pushed a small #NVDARC for Mac build out, featuring some small improvements to controlling a Mac via NVDA remote. Modifiers shouldn't get stuck as often anymore, as well as more keyboard shortcuts should be possible to press now, such as VO+Shift+letters. There's still more work to be done, as I can't press all VO+shift+letter combinations yet for some reason, but there's enough of an improvement here that I figured it worth updating.

ICE kills a woman in Minneapolis with a gun shot to the head.

Mayor Jacob Frey who has seen video of the incident calls it abuse of lethal force and tells ICE: “Get the FUCK out of Minneapolis — we do NOT want you here.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has told the Minnesotan National Guard to be on standby, and has made a point in his press briefing that now Minnesotans will protect Minnesota.
