"An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled in favour of a Mississauga homeowner whose naturalized front garden had become the source of legal turmoil.
Wolf Ruck’s long grass may have appeared as overgrown, but Ruck had intentionally cultivated a pollinator-friendly yard. He is part of the natural gardening community, which prioritizes ecological function over landscaping aesthetics."

The Verge is actually doing it. Actually connecting the dots between the fascistic tendencies of app stores with the profit motives of their proprietors.
FINALLY.
The open web has been roadkill in the profit games the mobile duopoly has set up, muscled out of view with policies and choices that were designed to leave no fingerprints. But we can all see it clearly now:

US Border agents just shot two people in Portland, Oregon today.
It's almost as if they are intentionally trying to desensitize us to their violence, to make us accept that they will kill whoever they want, whenever they want.
But if we do that, things will only get worse.
All around the country, we must flood the streets to show that we will not be intimidated. We have to build the capacity to defend our communities from the murderers and kidnappers in ICE. How we rise to this challenge will determine the future for all of us.
Smash ICE.
How do police identify and target those who participate in demonstrations? What countermeasures can we take to hinder repression?CrimethInc.

Россия заняла первое место в мире по… отключениям интернета
За весь 2025 год общая продолжительность «сбоев» составила 37 166 часов. Из-за этого экономика страны потеряла 11,9 миллиарда долларов.
Для сравнения, Венесуэла, которая находится на второй строчке по потерям, оставалась без связи всего 5952 часа.

IAAP certified pros: Has certification increased your opportunities?
I have been developing accessible websites for five years as a freelancer. Some clients seek standards compliance, others don't. Although I love educating clients and getting them on a pathway to standards, I want to be doing all accessible work to standard all the time.
I am looking at the CPACC then adding the WAS for the CPWA combo. What do you think?
I have just seen "voila" written accidentally as "viola", and let me tell you, that sure changes everything!
What would you do if someone randomly shouted "VIOLA!" at you?
Would you play them a tune, or just shrug? Maybe some other thing?

Ještě si pustím kousek filmu Everest, ať to má tu atmosféru komplet.
Už jsem před lety přežil lednovou noc na Sněžce ve spacáku a igelitovém pytli. Tam fučelo fest i v závětří u polské UFO stavby.

Our stance simplified: we want to make private communications available to anyone on the planet.
Problem: governments everywhere tend to want to control and contain private communications. While Iran and Russia might be contemporary poster examples trying to control private communication, almost all of the "Western" countries have similar control-tendencies, EU Chatcontrol, UK Online Safety Act, US KOSA etc.pp. And we often call those out. Without private communication, things are bleak.

With Delta Chat Version 2, chats are end-to-end encrypted, always and by default. Previously it was possible that chats without green checkmarks could contain messages without end-to-end encryption...delta.chat

One of the teenagers I work with is taking an interest in computers/networking. We're emailing about why you can't access home servers from outside your network, and how websites can be accessed from anywhere. Does anyone have a good analogy for LANs, private IP blocks, DNS, name servers, and accessing it all? Nothing I can come up with is a very good fit.
Edit: yes, another adult is copied on all emails. I know the CPP regulations, including the recent updates, and have passed advanced CP.

#Signal a deux défauts, et ils sont politiques :
- Il est étasunien;
- Il est centralisé.
C'est là où #Deltachat pourrait sortir son épingle du jeu. Je songe à y migrer. En attendant, je suis sur Signal depuis cinq ans et j'y reste; c'est déjà difficile de convaincre mon entourage…
Je pense que #Matrix, bien qu'ultra-sécurisé, est trop complexe pour ma mère; il restera sous-utilisé, à moins qu'on ne trouve une façon de l'encapsuler dans quelque chose de plus simple.
Suis-je seul à penser ça?
