@fmuellner took me nearly a dozen different locations until I found one that was being used. Turns out she just wanted a spot that was close to me and at my level! Now I find her here any time she sleeps 😍
While I might be the only dinosaur still loving and using @thunderbird, I'd like to encourage you to contribute to its development as well if you or your company relies on it:
I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth. We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”
After seeing how the admin of gladtech[DOT]social handled a recent situation with a racist user, I'm going to recommend blocking that instance.
After admitting a user had multiple reports of racist behavior and using an ai generated of a Black woman to do it behind, it was deemed that they would be allowed to stay on that instance.
This is unacceptable for a couple of reasons. To give a racist the benefit of the doubt after multiple infractions only invites that behavior to continue. And secondly, hiding your identity behind the face of a generated face of the people you are targeting implies a nefarious attempt to avoid consequences and is inherently a bad faith practice of a person who is anti-black and only seeks to cause harm.
Taking the word of a bigot after multiple infractions and deciding there should be no consequences and not limiting their ability to harass others simply invites more hateful behavior to continue and makes the fedi less safe.
Tutanota: We are kicking off the development of email import!
@Tutanota is on fire 🔥! They're finally working on an email import feature, which will make it easier for people to switch from email providers like #gmail.
Karlovy Vary - Sedím teď v nastartovaném autě do kterého jsem vlezl kufrem. Páté dveře jsou totiž jediné, které jdou otevřít. Snažím se teď rozmrazit dveře u řidiče abych mohl důstojně vystoupit a oškrábat přední sklo.
@Standa_K Já pamatují jako malý námrazu kdy bylo vše obaleno minimálně centimetrovým ledem (bez přehánění). Bylo to někdy kousek před rokem 2000.
Šlo o nějaký vzácný meteo. jev, kdy padal sníh skrz teplou vrstvu atmosféry, kde roztál. Kapka se pak následně v dalších vrstvách ochladila k 0C a když dopadla na promrzlý povrch, tak okamžitě zmrzla.
@Standa_K jj i já ráno jsem šel na autobus do práce a nešel udělat ani krok venku. V osmdesátých letech zase na silvestra byla odpoledne teplota asi 15 stupňů a v noci se otočila snad -20
I built my new PC inside an old classic Mac case. It's working great, the trickiest bit was 3D printing scaffolding for the inside. I finally wrote up a little summary of the project.

@Bubu as there are a lot of unreleased features on the default branch, I'd recommend trying that (using pdm). 0.2.2 is in the repos but also lacks quite a few of the new fancy stuff and is not as well documented.
Do note that currently you can only add/ update packages, but not yet remove them!

@Friendica Support Friendica currently comes with two themes: frio and vier with frio being the default.
The theme selection does not indicate that. What are others thinking? Would it make sense to add a default tag to frio so that fact is communicated to users?
@Tobias Had you tried the new frio v1.0? What were your thoughts?
Clearly themes are a question of personal taste and arguing about them is very difficult. I really don't want to get into an opinion war about personal preferences as that will lead nowhere. But if tobias or other vier users could share, what aspects they prefer about vier over frio, maybe there is something to learn / takeaway / improve about frio.
I want to also add 2 cents about UI changes which affect us all and how many (me included) perceive them: e.g. it's so funny with the changes in macOS. When they first hit you, they sometimes look ridiculous. And next it's fascinating how quickly I get used to altered UI and my brain accepts the change as nice and normal after 14 days of usage and getting used to.
The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 19 - made in Poland
And so we arrived in the last week of advent so this calendar has only six windows left. To finish it off nicely, from now on I'll try to post some smaller projects that nevertheless have an impact on the quality of life for the blind and partially sighted people somewhere. Let's start with another Polish invention: Totupoint is an in-door navigation system created by Jan Szuster, a blind engineer from Warsaw. It revolves around Bluetooth beacons placed at key points in a building or at a points of interests such as bus stops, administrative buildings or other venues that are key infrastructure. Those can be discovered through the Totupoint mobile app or an additional module attached to the user's white cane. As soon as you find yourself within the range of a beacon, it is triggered and plays the assigned recording so that you exactly know where it is located. You can repeat the message as many times as you need to locate the point you're looking for or in case of the mobile app read the attached information such as opening hours or address and phone number of the place you're at. The system also supports tiny interactive HTML apps that can be operated from within the app so it can be adapted to turn on the traffic lights or request line number on public transport. Many successful installations happen at an increasing number of venues in Poland. You can learn more and see the complete list of active locations at: totupoint.pl/ In other news: as soon as Apple flicks the verification switch, I will have something to share that potentially all of you might find useful so watch this space. #Accessibility #Blind #AdventCalendar #Poland #UrbanEnvironment
Na Nizozemsku je pěkné, že platební karty přijímají v podstatě všude. Už méně pěkné je že na spoustě míst nepřijímají jiné karty než Maestro a V Pay. Ale konečně se to mění k lepšímu.
Just a little note in case you didn't know that I'm a person who REALLY likes this particular mashup to like an Unhealthy Degree youtube.com/watch?v=DhvXST1Rc3…
Ideally, I'm looking for part-time design and/or web development gigs that I can balance with working on Fipampo and The Bad Space.
I'm open to full-time product management positions, especially with a tech focus, as long as they are remote. Part-time management and strategy roles are in my wheelhouse too.
I've had a long career as a digital creator, and I've amassed a lot of skills along the way. I keep an overview handy here -> roiskinda.cool/profile.html If you have any specific questions, feel free to send me a note.
Fourteen years, nine months. End of an era. Apparently you can't delete straight-up, you have to deactivate and wait 30 days and then it is deleted.
And yes, I am deleting my account. Best of luck to whatever impersonator or spammer takes over the tinysubversions name. I refuse to dignify Twitter as a canonical namespace.

I finally actually wrapped it up and pushed it out: the hopefully-soon-to-be-peer-validated paper MUSICAL STRUCTURE OF GEOMETRIC ELAMITE
do you like mysterious undeciphered tablets? do you like maybe the literally oldest music in existence? boy do I have the PDF for you academia.edu/93268214/Musical_…
I also have the MP3s for you, though I ask that you at least glance through the paper for context before listening to them soundcloud.com/0xabad1dea/sets…
This has been consuming my life for about nine months now so I guess that makes it my baby
The Konar Sandal "Geometric" tablets, written partially in Linear Elamite and mostly in an otherwise unknown script of simple geometric shapes, have resisted linguistic explanation. Their structure is better explained not as written
Fantastic post by @pluralistic which really gets to the heart of some of the main issues at play in the social media landscape at the moment. I recommend reading the whole thing:
Alright, I've been busy working on scaling up my ability to deploy Mastodon. If you need help setting up Mastodon and want to support a team of Black developers checkout our project 👇🏿
If you maintain an open source project, even as a solo developer, I highly recommend writing descriptive commit messages. These messages help others understand what changes you're making and why you're making them, and will help you in the future if you return to a codebase after a long time.
I find myself not wanting to contribute to projects that don't have good commit messages, as it's harder for me to get a grasp on the codebase.
The experimental Rust PR to add a more expressive "interop" ABI on top of the C ABI is IMHO the most exciting new effort that happened in Rust in the last few years.
Thanks to @josh and others for starting this very important work 🥳
Also @Mara's reply seems to indicate that some serious thought is now also put into other related areas, especially for handling Rust dynamic libraries.
Summary
This experimental feature gate proposal proposes developing a new ABI, extern "interop", and a new in-memory representation, repr(interop), for
interoperability across high-level programmin...
Great question! Is this Thunderbird 102? Here's a GIF that might help you customize it in the way you're describing. But we might need a little more clarification about what you're trying to do.
This is a nostalgic look back at the evolution of personal websites, and a look forward to how we can recreate this magic today. It's a manifesto for buildin...
