The Matrix.org Foundation

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.

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.

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.

I frequently delete the memories, and also changed the personality, which results in it thinking it would need to point it out everytime, e.g. I say: Tell it like it is; don't sugar-coat responses. And each time it points something out it's like, here is result XY, totally straight forward and serious, no talking around etc. Bit difficult to explain since I'm mainly using it in german. Yes I know, good prompting and such, but well what can I do if the AI's just dumb in the 1st place.

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.

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.

Kejora dropped last week, and I really donโ€™t 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 itโ€™s normal. Sheโ€™s the only one clocking the loop. Which is a special kind of nightmare, if youโ€™ve 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 โ€œoh, weโ€™re doing this nowโ€ territory. An eldritch-looking monster shows up near the forest and starts hunting children like itโ€™s part of the daily schedule. Suddenly youโ€™re 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 youโ€™re not alone. Youโ€™ve got two friends with you, and itโ€™s basically a party system without pretending itโ€™s co-op. You swap between them and use their abilities to get through obstacles, distract threats, and access areas Kejora canโ€™t reach. It feels like childhood teamwork, except the stakes are โ€œdonโ€™t get eaten by whatever that thing is.โ€

And I have to talk about the animation. Itโ€™s gorgeous. Full hand-drawn 2D characters, backgrounds, and cutscenes. It absolutely gives Studio Ghibli vibes, but itโ€™s not Japan doing Japan. Itโ€™s Berangin Creative, an Indonesian studio, making something that looks familiar at first glance and then quietly reminds you itโ€™s 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. Youโ€™re not watching a time-loop mystery in a rural Indonesian village. Youโ€™re exploring it firsthand, learning its rhythms, and uncovering what the town is hiding. Thatโ€™s the magic.

Tuve que pagar una licencia del complemento para Exchange, pero ahora incluso Thunderbird soporta nativamente Exchange, aunque solo a travรฉs de EWS y creo que sin libreta de direcciones global. Todo es tema de pedirlo y ver si se enrollan, y comprobar que ese Exchange tenga activado EWS.

Rebuilding the indieweb one tendril at a time.

This is what we need to do. Rebuild the internet, reclaim the word social in social media and put people before platforms.

Circular logo containing the text: 100% human generated. In the centre is a scribble drawing of a brain.
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.

If you already have a indie website drop me a link in the commentsโ€ฆ.I would love to follow and share.

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.

Renee Nicole Goodโ€™s family have released preliminary autopsy details.

Itโ€™s bad.

She was shot three times and the first two shots were non lethal.

One to her forearm and one to her right breast which missed all major organs.

She could have survived that.

Jonathan Ross was well outside the path of the vehicle at that point and leaned into the driverโ€™s side window to deliver the third shot.

It went through her left temple and exited the right side of her head.

It was murder. Plain and simple.

Every ICE agent who failed to render aid should be charged as an accessory, and Ross should be arrested immediately.

The government must stop covering for killers.

Iโ€™ve been playing with Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 for about a week, and Iโ€™m 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. Iโ€™m 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

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.

@TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu the issue is not the shell but the direction of the GNOME Apps which are part of the Environment. Plus the issue I have with GNOME OS `just existing*`, but that is up to me. I have to write a blog to really explain this last one ๐Ÿค—

I'm not sure what you mean by GNOME OS "just existing", especially considering I use GNOME OS on my tablet and desktop nowadays and see plenty of reasons why it should exist (laptop is on Silverblue, but I plan to switch to GNOME OS some day)

I guess I'll wait to hear your detailed take on GNOME OS once you write the blog post ;). I've had a lot of issues with Vanilla OS with how outdated GNOME is, but also the unclear direction with how containers are pushed and the tooling around them, which were some of the reasons why I went straight to GNOME OS from Silverblue

@TheEvilSkeleton Maybe @mirkobrombin and I are misattributing GNOMEโ€™s vision for its ecosystem to its vision for the shell.

Naturally the shell canโ€™t be going LibAdwaita-only, as (looking from the outside in) I would figure many shell elements, like widgets/the dock/etc, are just using GTK4โ€”not to mention non-LibAdwaita apps still run on it. The ecosystem is what seems to be going LibAdwaita-only, both in GNOME shell, and elsewhere. I figure?
