We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Bin dankbar, hier im Fediverse meist konstruktiv über die Gefahren von Rechtsmimesis & Rechtsdualismus diskutieren zu können.

Erlebe jedoch leider immer wieder Verharmlosungen von Antisemitismus, von Sexismus & auch Ableismus von Links.

Meine Bitte: Bevor hier manche immer wieder in Gruppen gegen Moderate vorgehen, reflektiert auch die Schwächen Eurer eigenen Weltanschauung.

Danke. #Dialog #Demokratie #Rechtsmimesis #Linksmimesis #Antisemitismus #Ableismus #Connewitz mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/lei…

Die pro-palästinensische Gruppe Handala hat zur Demo durch Connewitz aufgerufen. Im Visier haben sie die ansässige autonome Szene. Worum es geht.

Now remove all the accounts of EU institutions from X. They have no business being there.

So, yesterday sucked.

I've had a toothache that comes and goes for the last little while. It reached new excruciating levels last night, and I essentially became nonfunctional for all intents and purposes. Finally got some sleep, and feel a little better this morning.
So, today, I get to see what my options are for dealing with this while outside of network.

Look what I found. A Web site to look up RSS feeds from a URL (assuming the URL supports them.) If there are better alternatives, I'd love to know about them.

Man hat ja häufig das Problem, dass man sich große Vermögen schlecht vorstellen kann. Hier ein Versuch, das zu umgehen.

Wenn eine Pflegekraft Vollzeit arbeiten würde, bräuchte sie 971.428 und ein halbes Jahr, um das Vermögen zu erwirtschaften, das die BMW-Erb*Innen Klatten und Quandt heute besitzen.

Das ist dreimal die Zeit, die der Homo sapiens existiert oder die Hälfte der Zeit seit der Erfindung des Faustkeils.

Kyle Rittenhouse walked up to police carrying an assault weapon during protests in Kenosha, then killed people, and Conservatives called him a hero.

Alex Pretti filmed officers during a protest, kept his handgun holstered, was wrestled to the ground, had his weapon taken away, and then was shot dead, and Conservatives are calling him a terrorist.

Contributions of governments to #OpenSource are often unsustainable - fragmented, short term subsidies, feature work or new things. Nothing shifting billions of tax money from Big Tech to open source!

The public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model. Commit to deploy these & shift real procurement money!

I had to check my carry-on bag as there was no room for it on the flight from YOW->YUL->BRU.

My carry-on didn't make the transition in Montreal & I got an email confirming that it should arrive tomorrow.

I'm now caught in a loop.

I can't seem to either "Report your delayed bag" or contact someone at #AirCanada to have it delivered..

I keep getting "Unable to locate delayed baggage file with provided information."

But were using the information they provided in the email about my luggage.

Today I would like to introduce you to another audio player for Windows. As I understand it, the developer originally wrote this for his own use but has decided to share it. I am very glad that is the case.
The player is called FastPlay, so if you've been paying attention as to what is going on, you will know that this comes from the same developer as the social media client Fast-SM, which many of us are now using. That tells us two things: the app is going to be excellent and suggestions are very much considered.

This is a very small, lightweight, audio player. That means it is designed to be a small file size to download. That is important. I downloaded an app recently which contained approximately 5000 files comprising 500 MB which was absolutely crazy for the job at hand. This is just over 2 MB in size.
In order to describe some of its features, I can do no better than quote from the Readme file.
Fastplay is a very lightweight, simple, yet powerful and flexible media player for Windows. It is designed to be accessible, minimalistic, yet powerful, all at the same time. It is also very small, and fast and responsive.
Note! Fastplay is not designed to be a replacement for a complete media player. Rather, it's designed to be a small, lightweight media player that you can either use seriously or for fun! It has a vast list of effects including an EQ, reverb, echo, tempo/pitch, stereo width, and more, which you can adjust in realtime. End of quote.
I think that may have been the case when that statement was written, but it has evolved into including some very nice options indeed, such as:
Completely configurable Global hotkeys.
The ability to have the screen-reader speak events through keystrokes, such as elapsed time, remaining time etc, Control+Shift+E and Control+Shift+R.
Load all files in folder when pressing Enter.
You are able to set default file types. All of these are achieved through the Options dialog and there is an extraordinary amount of configuration in there.
Bookmarking of playback position in files.
A Radio menu currently allowing you to add stations if you have the URL. Searching for stations using various sources is also available. RadioBrowser is a very good starting point.
The ability to record the output from stations. This is a nice one. Some of us have used Tapin Radio for this previously. But the accessibility of that over the years has been somewhat questionable. Of course FastPlay is completely accessible. Not only that, but you can schedule recordings too.
It is possible to search for (and subscribe to) podcasts using Apple's iTunes directory. The vast majority of podcasts can be found there. The facility to add specific URL's pointing to podcast feeds can also be added.
There are many more features which you can explore and customise through the options, activated with Control+Comma.
End of Part 1.
