Přechod z Google Analytics zahajuji i u dalších webů. Přecházím kompletně na #opensource řešení #Umami, kde vím, jak je s daty nakládáno.
Aktuálně je Umami zavedeno i na miniaturním webu ThreemaApp.cz/
Pokud by někdo chtěl licenci k Threema/Threema Libre pro Android, tak jich mám volných dost.✌️

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.

Je recommande chaudement « La dernière nuit d'Anne Bonny », un feuilleton radio sur ARTE Radio. Bien joué, bien monté, drôle, intéressant, émouvant…

Et mettez ARTE Radio dans votre application de podcasts favorite, il y a régulièrement des perles comme ça.

Something new I learned today: Atkinson Hyperlegible Font is a font designed with low vision readers in mind.
Can be downloaded off of Google Fonts or directly from the Braille Institute: brailleinstitute.org/freefont
[ #FediArt #MastoArt #typography ]
A new typeface – greater legibility and readability for low vision readers Atkinson Hyperlegible font is named after Braille Institute founder, J. Robert Atkinson.Braille Institute
This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.
An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.
It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Rober…
Here's where you can read about the font and download it: brailleinstitute.org/freefont

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.”

What's funny is that as the vinyl resurgence continues, I find myself buying more and more CDs and cassettes.
Don't get me wrong. I still buy vinyl -- more than the average person.
But nowadays, CDs and cassettes are too good of a deal to pass up.
Also: why are people buying vinyl if they don't own a turntable?
Please don't say "art" 🙄
My favourite format is cassette tape.
It's a feat of engineering, one of the greatest examples of miniaturization of the analog era.
The sheer science is amazing.
And in the 90s, cassettes nearly reached parity with CDs in terms of sound quality.
That said, if you're new to physical music media, I highly recommend starting with CDs.
Why? Because the value is unparalleled.
Thrift stores are selling them for $1/each -- sometimes even less.
Do the math. If one CD contains 12 songs, that's pennies for a song.
Which you can then rip to FLAC, store on your computer or DAP.
And owning a copy on optical disc -- with artwork! -- isn't bad either!
I am excited to see the efforts behind endasfmascotry.com/ and perhaps it can spark momentum for even more settler allyship. #NotYourMascot #Apache
Let me share some of the things I have learned about being a better settler ally in support of reconciliation and #LandBack:
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.www.endasfmascotry.com
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.
