Das hier ist Teil 2 meiner Erfahrungssammlung mit Sharkey. - Man kann Leute zu Listen hinzufügen, ohne ihnen zu folgen. - Statt nur schnöder Bookmarks gibt es hier: Favoriten und Clips. Clips sind sowas wie Lesezeichen-Sammlungen, man kann also seine Lesezeichen thematisch sortieren. Und falls gewünscht, diese auch öffentlich teilen. - Ich kann hier definieren, wie mein "Standard-Emoji" aussieht, mit dem ich auf eure Posts reagiere. Also statt des Sterns reagiere ich so: , ausser, ich will spezifisch anders reagieren. Dann kann ich mit jedem Emoji, dass mir hier so zur Vergügung steht, reagieren. Aber das hab ich ja schon im Teil 1 erwähnt. Ist halt einfach zu schade, dass ihr das nicht seht. Stellt euch das bitte künftig einfach irgendwas mit Kühen vor, wenn ich was von euch Fave (Weil ja, @monkee hat extra Kühe für mich hinzugefügt ) - Antennen: Das ist sowas ähnliches wie Hashtags folgen, bloss ausgeklügelter. Ich kann eine Liste von Stichworten und/oder Hashtags erstellen, und in eine Antenne packen. Also z.B. alles, was mir so an Kuh-Stichworten einfällt in eine Kuh-Antenne. Entsprechend hab ich in meinem Deck jetzt ne Spalte mit Kuh-Content. - App fürs Smartphone: Nutze ich derzeit nicht, Browser (resp. diesen auf den Startbildschirm "installieren") funktioniert für mich ganz gut, und bietet naturgemäss alle Funktionen, die Sharkey so bietet. Was bei mir nicht funktioniert, theoretisch aber wohl funktionieren könnte, sind Benachrichtgungen (Pushs). Kann an Vanadium liegen (nutze GrapheneOS). Oder an meiner Unfähigkeit. Ob es Apps gäbe? Nun, gefunden habe ich keine, die Dokumentation gab mir darauf auch keine Hinweise, oder ich hab die Hinweise überlesen. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass jene Apps, die mit Misskey funktionieren, auch für Sharkey funktionieren. Wenn man sich die aber anschauen will, stösst man vor allem mal auf viele japanische Zeichen. Also hab ich aufgegeben, und bin mit der Variante über den Browser happy genug. Die alten Haie und Haiinnen dürfen gerne korrigieren und/oder ergänzen. Ich erhebe keinerlei Anspruch auf Allwissen und Vollständigkeit. Für alle, die Teil 1 verpasst haben, hier nochmals zum Nachlesen: other.li/notes/ahssjgz8xe

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/?radd=1… today brings you 14 updated and 1 added apps:

* GeoGas: monitor price data from Spanish gas stations 🛡️

Google Status: unchanged. We're still being blamed for an allegedly malicious file that doesn't even exist on the server. Reevaluation requests still failing (taking more than 24h each).

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repository and turn off that allegedly Safe Browsing in your browsers, if you can. Seems to be fake.

IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

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).

Almost every single programming project I touch, for work or otherwise, eventually either turns into an adventure in web scraping or an adventure in dealing with arbitrary and user-defined data schemas.

Apparently in Italian there is a word for:

"Men of retirement age who spend their time watching construction sites, especially roadworks – stereotypically with hands clasped behind their back and offering unrequested advice to the workers."

Elektroautos gelten als sauberste Alternative zum Verbrenner. Dabei wird ein noch klimafreundlicheres Fahrzeug oft vergessen: das E-Bike. Studien zeigen: E-Bikes sparen mehr Ressourcen, verursachen deutlich geringere CO2-Emissionen und beschleunigen die Verkehrswende stärker als die Elektrifizierung des Autoverkehrs.

E-Bikes ersetzen fast jede zweite Autofahrt.

Re last boost: This is really sad. The one maintainer of the Slint accessible distribution of Linux, is dead. This is a hard loss. May more popular distributions work even half as hard as him in listening to blind people and making their Linux distro accessible. Join the Orca mailing list. Contribute to the Orca screen reader. Now, more than ever, as more and more "tech" people move to Linux, we need to be accounted for. Also BRLTTY really needs Grade 2 Braille input support.

I mean, look at it this way. If sighted developers don't make their stuff accessible, we blind people will use AI to beat it into submission, send a PR, and you'll have *even more* AI stuff to deal with. And y'all don't want that, do you? :P So just avoid that by making it accessible. And no please we don't need another standard. Please. I beg of you.

Bruce Springsteen Responds to Minneapolis Killings With Fiery New Protest Song

Just days after the death of Alex Pretti, Bruce Springsteen wrote the protest song 'Streets of Minneapolis,' which denounces ICE and Donald Trump.

^{Conor Lochrie (Rolling Stone Australia)}

I don't know who needs to hear this but open source maintainers leaving X11 behind and focusing solely on Wayland isn't some conspiracy. It's a case of focusing limited resources on what makes sense to them. Supporting old code and maintaining backwards compatibility can be great, but often hard choices have to be made when it comes to what individuals and companies have the time and energy to work on.

It sucks if you get left behind but open source owes you nothing unless you're paying for it

somebody finally did it. open source native video compression on Android which uses the hardware and isn't just another ffmpeg wrapper. MIT licensed.

RE: social.heise.de/@heiseonlineen…

It's truly the most mindless thing and symptomatic for the "AI" bullshitters: OSM allows you to just download all the data in nice and simple snapshots. Instead, scrapers use thousands of residential IP addresses to query the service at zero benefit over the data dumps.

The people creating these systems understand as little as the "AI" they create.

HEADLINE: "Tim Cook Says He Is ‘Heartbroken by the Events in Minnesota,’ Calls for De-Escalation"

ALT HEADLINE: "Tim Cook, who donated $1 million to Trump, claims to be "heartbroken" by what was obviously going to happen if people like him didn't oppose Trump"

Bruce Springsteen hat einen Protest- und Support-Song für die Menschen in Minneapolis veröffentlicht. Darin findet er ziemlich deutliche Worte.

Bislang war von prominenten US-Musikern eher weniger Politisches zu hören zur aktuellen Situation. Deshalb ist diese Veröffentlichung durchaus bemerkenswert.

Breaking: Bruce Stringsteen has just released what may become an historic protest ballad.

Streets Of Minneapolis is a beautiful brave soulful anthem destined to take a place among the great songs of the struggles for freedom.

For anyone using Termux, here's a script for getting Emacs, Emacspeak, and Elmud up and going. Hopefully.

as someone who is a bona fide expert in the underlying technology of LLMs, the amount these genai CEOs executives managers and boosters simply fail is mindblowing. I cannot explain the details but these fucks have only have one idea: prompting chatbot. If they have a second idea it's prompting chatbot more.

these fucks are intellectually vacant. they have all the innovation of a 3 day constipated turd. but you can't really expect more from the type of guy who allegedly raped his own kid sister

the fundamental ideas behind LLMs can in fact do things, but you have to dig below all the layers of coprolite fossilized anti wisdom like "buy more nVidia processors" (which btw has been the received wisdom ever since nVidia gave out a bunch of free GPUs 15 years ago)

I have to reiterate that my dog has more interesting and novel ideas than sam, dario, or whoever is at Google.

these Thought Leaders have only one thought. its "more chatbots more prompts"

so now we have chatbots that require illegal powerplants that poison your neighborhood to get enough electricity to help someone convince themselves to kill their own mother! 🆒

also yes all the people building the infrastructure are just cryptocurrency grifters trying for a better grift. including Musk and Altman. watch @davidgerard episode on gas town

Pretty sure LibreOffice help-folks in forums are gaslighting the users saying that #LibreOffice Write style application problems are user error. I've got the same problems as several help-seekers in forums as recently as a few months ago, and the "helpful" forum replies just keep insisting that what the user is saying they did or didn't do is false.

I'm convinced LO Write has some bugs in this department, so it feels borderline aggressive for the help-folks to keep insisting that there can't possibly be bugs; it must be the user.

Edit: A less serious but still frustrating thing: LO helpers online repeatedly state the precedence rules for formatting text (paragraph style, character style, direct formatting, etc.) and simply lament that users can't handle such an advanced and user-friendly system.

Then they tell someone with a 400-page novel including thousands of paragraphs that, instead of suggesting LO adopt a system where styles might (if users choose) override direct and paragraph formatting, this person should quadruple-click each of their thousands of paragraphs, one by one, then press CTRL+M to remove all formatting, and finally apply the LO style.

If you have to work this hard to ignore a repeated feature request, there is something wrong.

Amazon is laying off 16,000 employees to prioritize AI, which will bring innovative changes such as:

-Automatically purchase item if user looks at screen for more than 5 seconds.
-Make device loudly screech if user closes the app.
-Delivery drones will stalk user if they cancel Prime membership.

The senate votes on #DHS funding tomorrow and way too many of these fucks want to help fund #ICE in return for some magic beans of promises that the Gestapo will start following laws. Please call your senators and yell at them.

Sick of being told to call your senators? Get plastered drunk and swear at them. It's more fun, and they deserve it.
