Is there a way to get a real, direct invite to a #matrix chat room? The share features only seem to bring up matrix.io links which a few people have had issues with.
the options for inviting someone to a chatroom are either by matrix ID (if they already have one), or by email (where they will get an email invite that should resolve to a matrix invite once they sign up, although it's quite fragile), or by linking the room via matrix.to - e.g. "come to matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org". matrix.to should work pretty well; what problems did you see? is this to an invite-only room or a public chatroom?
Does anyone have a copy of the Minute Marker tape produced by Brayton and Sons Productions in the early 90's? It was a twenty-minute timer on a tape. There were different drum sounds for fifteen, thirty, and forty-five seconds past each minute, then each minute had claps counting the minutes. One side had a tick every second along with all the other sounds, the other side omitted the ticks. I never had or even saw a copy of the tape, all I ever heard was a promo for it he put in Playback Magazine, audio attached.
are you interested about that tape or recreating the digital copy? It seems that at the end of the commercial we have enough sounds to recreate it digitally.
@ondrosik Yeah I know, but what I really want to hear is the original tape. Sure I could easily create my own digital version using nothing more than a simple MIDI scripting language and software to render the generated MIDI file as a wav file. But I really want to hear the original.
If you have procrastinated on a hotel reservation. I am staying at 'Pestana Brussels Schuman'. One of the few hotels without inflated prices that particular weekend it seems.
I assume I am not the only one feeling this way, but I feel like I have gottten way more lazy with the release of AI. Take coding, for example. Instead of going but hunting myself, I just ask claude: "Hey, can you find the bugs in this project for me?". I really feel lazy lol, and I want to change that. Take writing as well. many times, I will plug something I wrote into things such as chat gpt and ask it to correct spelling and such for me, which is bad for my brain activity. It makes me think less, and I do not like it.
I'm considering ditching Chat GPT again. Claude and Gemini at least produce useful outputs I can learn from, but I feel like Chat GPT is just trying to please me and talk bullshit at this point. + they're introducing adds for the free version so yeah, bye.
Yeah. I get that. The fact my concentration span decreases + that AI does a lot of shit for me and I put less and less effort into understanding is a problem. I also realise that I have quite the double standart. I dislike Gen AI for many things like Vibe Coding and Music generation shit, for example, but on the other side I use it daily, often also for accessibility reasons. I absolutely get the problem.
Well, I feel the same sometimes. For example i use AI for vibecoding because I don't have so much time to learn programming and I think that If I will try to do it myself it will newer be done. But i create music and I dont delegate this to AI. To be fair, I tryed suno for fun but I don't distribute suno creations as my music. I sometimes use AI for translating my text from slovak to english but here I realize that by doing this I lost my ability to write in English. BTW this text is not corrected by AI. At the other end, I am translating NVDA and I dont want to delegate this to AI at all. And yes, sometimes I am just lazy. For example I need to take some medicaments in various times during a day. I have to create 11 dayli events to be notified. I throw the instructions to gpt and downloaded just the ics file, imported to the calendar and it works. I realize that AI spent electricity and water to just doing simple text file for me.
Most of the sloptimists don't - for whatever reason - know about that.
In my experience most sloptimists don't even bother to read the bug-bounty docs - otherwise we'd receive much less reports as they are clearly about things exempt from a bug-bounty...
We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports.
I see why that is needed, but at the same time I think there is a thin line here, what if someone simply is not sure, a false positive, is that a waste of time to perform investigation?
That ban/ridiculation threat demotivates the report, the message simply says that if you are not a high level engineer or a big company with resources to have identified something in the field, please don't report, individuals with limited knowledge not encouraged to report and that's when the person simply chooses the easiest path: Post the report publicly to some forum or microblog and then there is a disclosure of something that should have been embargoed.
I got the motivation but I don't feel good about the wording.
Heute hatte ich wieder sehr viele sehenswerte Videos ohne Untertitel in der Timeline. Diese like & booste ich aus Prinzip nicht, denn es ist frustrierend, nicht nachvollziehen zu kรถnnen, worum es geht & was gesagt wird. Das tue ich Follower*innen nicht absichtlich an.
Kรถnnten wir daher bitte auch bei Videos verstรคrkt darauf achten, dass mรถglichst alle teilhaben kรถnnen? Gerade bei offiziellen Statements gibt es in der Regel mehrere Quellen, wรคhlt bitte die mit UT.
We seem to have data that confirms that the #curl bug-bounty has received a steep increased submission rate through 2025, while several other Open Source programs also hosted on Hackerone have not. (There's a graph coming in my pending blog post.)
What could possibly be the reason for us taking more heat and more junk than others? Why oh why?
could it be because your a household brand? Even my grandmother has heard of curl; she doesnโt know what it does aside from being in the computer. Could being more well known have resulted in people focusing on the project over others?
wild guess: possibly, being one of the most public, most used OSS projects out there, LLMs have more info on that and so, when left run wild, they "find" more possible vulnerabilities?
Kejora dropped last week, and I really donโt want it to fall through the cracks.
This is a hand-drawn narrative puzzle-platformer about a little Indonesian girl who realizes her village is living the same day again and again. Everyone else is acting like itโs normal. Sheโs the only one clocking the loop. Which is a special kind of nightmare, if youโve ever been the only sane person in a room.
It starts off deceptively cozy. Early 1990s rural village life. Rice fields. Forest paths. Errands. Kids being kids. Then it pivots into โoh, weโre doing this nowโ territory. An eldritch-looking monster shows up near the forest and starts hunting children like itโs part of the daily schedule. Suddenly youโre sneaking, solving environmental puzzles, and running for your life through caves and abandoned structures, trying to figure out what the village is burying.
The best part is youโre not alone. Youโve got two friends with you, and itโs basically a party system without pretending itโs co-op. You swap between them and use their abilities to get through obstacles, distract threats, and access areas Kejora canโt reach. It feels like childhood teamwork, except the stakes are โdonโt get eaten by whatever that thing is.โ
And I have to talk about the animation. Itโs gorgeous. Full hand-drawn 2D characters, backgrounds, and cutscenes. It absolutely gives Studio Ghibli vibes, but itโs not Japan doing Japan. Itโs Berangin Creative, an Indonesian studio, making something that looks familiar at first glance and then quietly reminds you itโs coming from a different cultural gravity.
This is why I love games as an art form. The art is beautiful, but the real hook is that you get to step inside it. Youโre not watching a time-loop mystery in a rural Indonesian village. Youโre exploring it firsthand, learning its rhythms, and uncovering what the town is hiding. Thatโs the magic.
"Jean-Baptiste Fressozโs dizzying history of energy consumption argues that no energy transition has ever occurred: each generation consumes more of past fuels. Not only are his claims ahistorical but they justify an unwarranted pessimism about the future."

Another Trump regime accomplice falls: Lindsey Halligan is out.
Trump tried to use her to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, even though Lindsey Halligan had no experience as a prosecutor.
Judges ruled she had to be approved by the Senate or a district court.
This is what we need to do. Rebuild the internet, reclaim the word social in social media and put people before platforms.
We must uncouple our attention from the tech-bro, elitist, narrative-controlling monopolies1 and get back to building individual, independant website presences. The indieweb.
Sites that are shared and aggregated by RSS feeds, collected into like-minded groups by webrings, boosted with decentralised social media platforms such as Mastodon, and cross-pollinated with interlinks and cross site conversations from individual posts.
Subvert, bypass, and starve the big platforms of their attention oxygen. Let them suffocate in a circle-jerk of AI generated slop.
There is now a growing movement of people dumping the scroll-gatekeepers, and building their own cheap, simple (often retro looking) independant websites.
Here is an example: Daryl Sun has a simple site that is packed with information and interesting links for anyone spending a little time to click rather than scroll (just like here).
In the spirit of re-wilding the web and creating interesting tendrils, I have updated my own ABOUT PAGE to let you know far more about me than you ever knew you wanted to know. It is a work in progress and will grow over time.
Another great example is Brennan, who writes some really interesting stuff and has recently begun moving his focus from posting on Medium to growing his independent site.
He always has tons of interesting outgoing links, is a member of a heap of webrings, as well as including a slash page of all his interests and projects.
I am gaining a lot of inspiration from this movement and urge you to consider dropping out of the shittosphere of big social media and spending that newfound scroll time creating your own independent online presence.
Let us tear the whole thing down and rebuild it fit for purpose.

Iโm trying to find a reliable way to read small displays with VoiceOver on my iPhone using the camera, like displays on modern power banks and recently, one of those small USB analyzers. Wondering if others who use VoiceOver out there have done this? Any tips or tricks? what apps work better for this?
A man was sitting on the plane next to a young woman, without further ado he began to talk about all the titles he had and his profound knowledge, the young woman only listened, but the man did not stop showing off all his knowledge. As the young lady didn't say anything, the man told her: -Let's chat.... I've heard that flights seem less long if you talk to the person next to you. The young lady who had just opened a book to start reading closed it slowly and said in a soft voice: -What would you like to talk about? -Well, I don't know... What about "nuclear physics"? he tells her in a mocking tone and showed him a big smile... -Well, that seems to be an interesting topic, but first let me ask you a question... A horse, a cow and a sheep eat the same thing: grass; But, why is the sheep's excrement like small pellets, the cow's is a paste and the horse's looks like a ball of dry grass? Why do you think that happens? The man, visibly surprised by the young woman's intelligence, thought about it for a moment and said: -Hmm... I have no idea. The young lady replied: -Do you really feel qualified to talk about nuclear physics, when you don't even know shit?
I'm working on a crash in Firefox and was investigating to figure out why a particular decision was made. This led me back to a piece of code which was first written... 23 years ago... by someone at Netscape! The code has evolved a little since then, but it's basically the same, just with minor refactoring. And I'm about to rip out said code. Always blows my mind when something like this happens.
@FastSM I still have the issue that any replys I post, even if it's in threads e.g. replying to my own posts, are not shown in the send timeline. Yup newest build filters are off, caching is off. Really not sure what's the cause here. Might try reauthenticating the account or something, but idk if that helps?
Deleted my cache as well, restarted the client. Still nothing. Also another thing, why is the Download VLC button still in the YT settings (thought VLC was removed)? Finding it a bit hard to keep up with all the random updates adding stuff and then removing it 2 hours later because it might be buggy or not properly tested etc. No offense or anything.
I added it back because I couldn't get sound_lib to be able to play youtube. Now I can play youtube again with VLC but no one else can. So at this point I don't know anymore
@SuchMichel Unpopular opinion but why is it even required? Ok maybe that's just me having an YT Premium sub but even without, there is Brafe etc. Watching the vid on the official site let's me directly like it, go to the channel, etc. And yt-dlp barely works for me anyway, like just use a VPN and you're already out. Just saying, I get why it would be useful for someone else and in the end it's up to me if I use it.

Iโve been playing with Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 for about a week, and Iโm not so sure about the default velocity curve or the keybed. The default velocity curve makes me trigger quiter notes more often than I intended, so I had to change. Iโm also used to a firmer stop at the bottom of the key travel, but this keybed feels more squishy than solid. I guess this makes it quieter when you play, but it feels pretty weird. Does anyone else have opinion on this, or is it just me? @FreakyFwoof
@jcsteh Iโve played many different keyboards and usually adapt to them pretty quickly. This is the first time Iโve had a reaction to a keybed on any keyboard. lol
@jcsteh It took me a while to get used to but now I find I prefer it. Had to learn to adapt. Even doing drums is way nicer on my fingers than MK2, which was very hard at the bottom.
@jcsteh Yeah I mostly use my 88 fully weighted keys for playing and mostly use KK to control things instead of playing. I might just return and get a smaller version. lol
Dotaz do plรฉna, neลพ se obrรกtรญm na odbornรญky. Mรกm kombinovanรฝ plynovรฝ kotel (starรก Destila DPL 25) a 150l bojler. Ten je propojen s vodou, kterรก jde na ohลev radiรกtorลฏ.

Aha. NVSP Phoneme Editor updated to use the newer engine and packs, so people can edit away. Also introduced: Pressing spacebar on fields in "edit phoneme" or editing pack settings brings up the edit dialog for it. Also huge change: Now the various phoneme tuning parameters have human explanations that tell you what they are, so tuning should be made easier.

Would it be a threat if you told politicians you wonโt kill them as long as they donโt crash the economy because according to them theyโre not, right
They tricked us into funding their businesses and executives in the promise of a retirement and then lied to everyone who gets fooled into opening up a 401k. If you do really well you can probably buy a few years at most of your current standard of living before it's gone.
People who can do the math and see there's no point should drain it. It's one way to fight them financially when there's no hope of a future. If this could be organized effectively you'd probably be able to pop the bubble.

This toot comes delayed as a lot of RBs failed today. Luckily we were able to fix most of them already; for the remaining ones, issues are open with the corresponding devs.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
It's not GNOME, it's not KDE, it's not the new Vanilla OS DE, it's new, uses <100M of memory, is accessible (for real) and uses GTK4 (but not libadwaita).
Whatโs the motivation for the project? It looks pretty cool, but historically your work has had a specific reason to be developed. Bottles to improve the Wine experience on Windows, Bottles Next to fix the architecture of Bottles and improve its UX (also, any news on Next?), cpak for a portable and sandboxed package formatโฆ so Iโm curious as to the perceived issue that led to this project being born!
@moshimotsu I was just tired of bloated desktops, I wanted something modern that stays under 200MB. Itโs built natively for Wayland using labwc under the hood to avoid reinventing the wheel, with no plans for Xorg support. I love the GNOME workflow but Iโm fed up with the libadwaita-only direction and the feeling that any modification is an impurity. This is also a good playground, where I can do anything without being forced into someone else's design guidelines.
