Trump & his buddies on the RW media are talking about Portland like it's scene from The Last Of Us. The reality is, this is what these troops are being called into stop.

"Za uplynulý rok #Bratislava zaznamenala výrazný nárast agresivity, obťažovania, aj drobných krádeží. Podľa primátora Matúša Valla za to môže aj novela Trestného zákona, ktorá znížila závažnosť krádeží do 700 eur na priestupok."

I disagree with a lot of people here, and that's fine. We can disagree on what tax rates should be. We can disagree on the best mix of public and private ownership. We can disagree on the amount of government involvement in markets. We can disagree on what privacy rights need to be protected by governments versus which need to treat the government as the adversary. We can disagree on which OS is best. We can disagree on the best way to build a Free Software ecosystem (we can even disagree on whether that's a desirable goal).

But we can't disagree on which people are people. If your perspective is that some people are not people, there is no way that we can still have a meaningful conversation. That's not a 'there are two sides' kind of debate. That's a 'no, this isn't a debate and we can't build a functioning society if you disagree' kind of debate.

I replaced my wifi card in my laptop, but perhaps one of the antenna cables was not secured as my signal goes to shit I think and sometimes it just doesn't even see 5ghz.

But if the antenna cables are secured/connected properly, is there a chance that it's expected that I literally replace the antenna cables too? that seems a bit much... I'd have expected them to be compatible because it's the same type of radio

Is it time for a truly ethical computing hardware company? One whose values would be

- open hardware as much as possible.
- repairable, upgradable, standardised.
- open software as much as possible.
- which exclude some hardware choices.
- full open source operating system support, and the default (no forked distro)
- code of conduct including for the choice of project sponsorships.

And many other.

Hi @frameworkcomputer, if your response to serious concerns against funding fascist projects is just going to be a typical FOSSbro response while ignoring and sidestepping the inherent problems outlined by the post, and keeping in mind the responder is Indian and also the founder of Framework, then: as an Indian member and active contributor to GNOME, please don't ever fund or sponsor GNOME.

It’s really weird watching someone who is a minority go “I know this person wants to exile everyone who looks like me to a country I wasn’t born in and blames me for every single bad thing that’s happened in their life, but I’m going to look past that and give them my public support for doing something I consider kinda neat”

I don’t understand how someone could live with that cognitive dissonance

The third morning marks the end of this first edition of Django On The Med 🏖️

It’s amazing how much we achieved in such a short time, with a small group of focused developers. 💪

The goal of the sprints has been fully reached. But the experience is not over yet, this afternoon’s rest and tonight’s dinner are part of the social side too. 🌅

If I had to highlight a key take-away from @ciura_victor's C++/Rust interoperability talk, that'd be that it's much easier to call Rust from C++ than C++ from Rust, which is indeed the case in my experience. Because many C++ language features have no equivalent in Rust.

A week from now we’ll be in Strasbourg at The Matrix Conference!

🇩🇪 Don’t miss Dominik Braun from FITKO share the architecture decisions, the choice of Matrix as the end-to-end encrypted backbone and key insights from navigating the political and administrative challenges of this large-scale transformation in the German federal administation

There are still a few tickets left if you want to listen to it live – we’d love to see you there!

I've been thinking about creators and distributors. picture a woodworker who crafts a perfectly balanced, minimalist chair. a furniture store loves it and starts selling it. but, to "match their brand", the store paints every chair bright green

customers see a green chair. they don't know the store painted it. they just assume the original artisan loves making bright green chairs. the creator's original intent and aesthetic are completely lost in translation, and their reputation is now tied to a choice made by someone else

this happens so often in FOSS. upstream developers create the "wooden chair", and downstream distros often paint it "green". there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it creates a gap where users blame the artisan for the paint job. it makes you think about where creative ownership truly lies

@radiorobbe That has to be coincidence, also baring in mind that OpenShell is the one currently maintained, whereas Classic Shell isn't. The start menu in win11 is to the point where it may be totally unproblematic today, but cause no shortage of issues tomorrow since it's a semi-serverside component because ads. OpenShell/Total Commander user here who has experienced performance benefit from having both installed.

Yesterday I felled the erge to compose or play something, and I was just browsing through sounds. I found this old little Piano track which appeared to be something by samsung. I liked it and started to play an e guitar melody to it. I was at that point just composing my own little track with this, looped this at the parts it fit in, played a bassline, and thought some other Samsung sounds on top, such as a keyboard typing metronome or some old notification sounds in the same cord wouldn't do bad either.
Here you go, enjoy what I got. For my first mix like that, I think I did quite well. But you're the judge. Lmk your thoughts.

If you're thinking of buying a @frameworkcomputer check this thread from their forum: community.frame.work/t/framewo…. Make sure to check their twitter stream too.

Personally the chances of me buying anything from them in the future is 0%.

spvm to buy a dystopian american mass surveillance product

some notes from the thread:

• American software collecting the movement history of all people in Montreal. Millions of hours of video will be sent to the US, and the movement history of all citizens will be potentially sold to the highest bidder.

• Software with very advanced capabilities accessible without a warrant by the police, such as chronological search (give me all the movements of this person over a year), facial recognition, alerts on individuals, and all the previously mentioned functionalities, etc.

• Complete loss of privacy for all people in Montreal, immediately. Privacy is dead the moment this system is connected and used by the SPVM.

• No strict judicial control, and data is not within our control. Valuable data going directly to the US and accessible without a warrant by the police.

• Police can access movement history without a warrant or validated by a judge ( think jealous police officer ex here )."

Shower thought: I wonder if any #blind kids today are growing up on espeak the way we grew up on eloquence? Is there a future where espeak is out of date and ancient, and people are clinging to it with the desperation people today cling to eloquence and dectalk? Honestly y'all, espeak read isn't that bad. I just wish espeak was usable on IOS; the available app is old and littered with bugs. #a11y#screenreader#accessibility

Agreed. eSpeak is not only available in many languages but it's open source, meaning that it's currently free of cost to a variety of users and this will likely ensure continued development, at least from a core group of developers. However, I think that many people in some countries will consider it to be not as useful as the commercial, more human-sounding TTS engines.

in reply to Fight Chat Control

Since Denmark can attempt another vote in December, it is important to stay vigilant. Both Italy and Sweden remain undecided while France remains supportive despite Chat Control being in direct violation of its Résilience bill explicitly forbidding both forced backdoors and client-side scanning.

Stay engaged!
