/cc @conservancy & fans 👀 There's likely some window here for experienced folk to persuade the gamerati on the advantages of a lean, not-administratively-bloated NPO model. Or, at least, to strap on a cape & a foam sword and give it the old medieval try....
Indeed, that's the sort of thing I was wondering! If they've thought intently about it and actually want a trade association that is focused on & driven by the interests of commercial members, then it's a salient comparison.
Alternatively, if they just meant "steward org for some open stuff" then there's a looooot of room for more awareness-advocacy.
Me, I've got *no idea* who in the FOSS-ish gaming community is on top of those things and stands up for indie interests....
Desktop 1.34.2 is coming soon, we fixed two annoying IMAP connection issues that could result in not being able to receive more messages and also wasting your data plan on mobile. For me that Bug was triggered by a malformed spam mail. New Mobile versions (iOS & Android) should be already out AFAIK.
Also the archived chats pseudo chatlistitem now is on top of the chatlist and has a new design.

Also for #BlackFriday I've found another streamer! I first saw Peas last night on #GamesDoneQuick, livestreaming Mario Kart 8 DLC and that Puyo game with surprisingly deep lore.
I'm Peas! I am a Super Monkey Ball speedrunner known for Banana Blitz HD; I also play numerous games from franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, Pokémon, and Puyo Puyo.

Get the beta version You can download a beta version of the app via these channels: GitHub releases We publish all of our releases there. Beta versions are marked with a “Pre-release” label.
@zwovierzwo Yes. Unlike stable versions, beta versions on F-Droid are not marked with a “Suggested” label. You have to manually select such a version to install it.
To get update notification for non-suggested versions you need to check ‘Settings > Expert mode > Unstable updates’ in the F-Droid app.
Can I be critical with you guys? I really love what you're doing, but I dislike floating compose buttons. Especially here. Most of the time I want to read emails and not write them. And when I write one, it's most likely a reply. I think composing a fresh new email isn't needed often enough to warrant an extra floating always visible button.

I'm a really big fan of TalkBack 13.1 so far. Currently, it's not on the Play store, but you can get it from APK mirror. It now allows you to swipe up and down to select actions, just like voiceover, has spell checking for text fields, supports USB for Braille displays, is generally much faster, made touch typing much more responsive, as well as introducing a new way of typing in which you drag your finger around, and then tap with another finger to select that letter, you no longer have to be focused on a text field to navigate by letter, word, etc. In a text field, you can be on gthe keyboard, and much more. It's still marked as a beta, for good reason, multiple times while swiping up and down through this post, I got jumped to the keyboard and random letters got typed, but overall, I'm really happy with it. .. .

7 years ago, while trying to get approval to operate in cities all over the world, #Uber insisted that it would actually reduce traffic. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber & Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic, & now admit they actually increase congestion. So much for “making cities better.”

ASF has been “playing Indian” for decades. There is no respectful way to appropriate and it’s long past the time for ASF to change its name and branding.
It is important that we: - Recognize the crimes and harms of settler colonialism - Learn about whose land we live on and benefit from - Learn about ourselves and our complicity in this tangled history - Work to make amends
First, settlers must acknowledge that the colonization of the so-called Americas was a series of terrible crimes, ongoing over centuries. Whether your immigrant family identified as colonizers or refugees, they recognized and supported governments whose state policy was genocide. This enabled land theft on a massive scale.
Awareness can be a first step towards reconciliation. It is crucial for settlers to recognize each Indigenous Nation as a distinct entity, with its own culture, language, heritage, and homeland. "Indigenous" is about as descriptive as "European". Don't be that person who has no trouble differentiating French and German customs but acts like it's too hard to distinguish between Muckleshoot and Cree.
One way to engage is to learn about the Indigenous peoples whose land you reside on. native-land.ca/ has a map that can provide a great starting point. Are you familiar with the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in your area? What are their historical and modern languages? What tribal organizations can you support?
As an example, I live on Coast Salish land in so-called Seattle, Washington, USA. I use this broad cultural term because many nations shared the land I now reside on: Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, Stillaguamish, Puyallup, Tulalip, Lummi, and others.
I began to support Duwamish Tribal Services on an ongoing basis through their "Real Rent" program, and try to make grants to tribal foundations if I visit or use a nation's historic land. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Sa… realrentduwamish.org/
I also began learning about the treaties that allowed me to live here, and the context in which they were signed, where mass death due to numerous smallpox pandemics left majorities of the people in these communities dead or disabled. Under these apocalyptic conditions, the treaties of Point Elliott and Point No Point were signed in 1855.
Generous treaties were not enough for our colonizer ancestors. They sought complete domination of Indigenous peoples. Chief Seattle's own white son-in-law resented traditional, tribal housing and the dignity and community it provided. He burned down his family's longhouse.
The US government made every effort to force Indigenous peoples out of their traditional ways of life to fuel the economy with more workers and acquire more land and resources.
To this day, we still violate the most basic of treaty rights, while abusing the land we've taken. Hydroelectric dams threaten entire ecosystem collapse through the risk of salmon extinction. Widespread pollution has left traditional food sources unsafe to eat.
If this is your first time learning this, you may find yourself a bit overwhelmed. Indigenous peoples have been living in some state of apocalypse since colonists arrived. I myself learned little of this in primary school, and such studies concluded with the silent assumption that "everything is better now!" It's not. Rather than look away, perhaps you'll be inspired to learn more? I highly recommend @pattyk's new book, Becoming Kin.
asking out of the curiosity, how does the accessibility compare to VS 2022, or VS Code? Are they better, or is it the same everywhere? I'm not blind, or disabled in any other way, but at least half of all the accessibility features I know about are useful to people like me, because they either speed up my workflow, or make it more comfortable.
@y4si0 Hi, thanks very much for your interest. The short answer is that everything comes to speed. JBR is the fastest IDE, the reaction time is instant, but some things do not read. VS 2022 is a mess, its slow and some things do not read; VS 2019 is very good, but its function will be limited as time comes and VS Code I personally don't like very much as its web based. I hear blind developers like and use it, but not for C#, rather for Python, Rust, ETC.

Plenty of great people have cycled through #Medium at various points, but I would love to see a little bit of memory retention about their organizational history:
"Medium abruptly cancels the membership programs of its 21 remaining subscription publishers" niemanlab.org/2018/05/medium-a…
Chris Faraone knew something was wrong when he got a reader email the morning of May 7 asking if the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism was shutting down.
As far as alternatives go: I'm really excited to see more communities try out PubPub! pubpub.org
It's the most similar open-source option I've come across (e.g. has some social features and lots of ways to organize/layout content).
But open source CMSes and community-platforms are actually an embarrassment of riches. Just those pesky network effects/FOMO keeping people tethered to the VC clowncars.
I’ve been reading/publishing pieces on Medium for many years now. I’m aware of the myriad pivots, but had no idea about much of what I’m seeing here.
I love my Medium experience but I’m considering a move to Substack because I see a lot of good writers there, but would love to learn more about their experience.
Have you found a good home there? Is there anything problematic worth noting?
While this is the end of the series it's hopefully only the beginning of a larger resilience initiative within GNOME and free software more broadly. If you're interested in working on this I'd be very happy to hear from you.
