Thanks to @buercher for building it.

It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.

That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.

De puro coraje y tomando un soplo de inspiración divina puse en una entrada de #blog las cosas por las que creo que #slack es #software 💩. ¿A ustedes se les ocurre alguna otra? blog.categulario.xyz/slack-es-…

Pencils and pens look very old as well. That's because they dither very slightly around an evolved functional shape that happens to be quite simple.

I'm glad that I can choose whether to "enjoy" having the shape of my tools arbitrarily rearranged. I don't need to have scrollbars shrunk, whitespace added, tail fins, uncomfortably skinny jeans, optical function of glasses shrunk, etc.

But even so, please don't confuse fashion accessories with tools, #Thunderbird

Oh, and I almost forgot: thank you also for Thunderbird! It makes our organizational days vastly more efficient.

Now I'm going to go hit below, not transactionally but because this was an elliptical reminder. :-)

Librsvg 2.55.91 is out! This is the beta release before GNOME 44.

* Support "turn" units for <angle> values.
* Support the feDropShadow element.
* Fix a panic in filters.
* Tons of documentation updates.

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg…

Y'all. Please fund my shit so I can spin up the second-best instance (PV is obviously the first LOL) and get my team back together.

Hell, I'll even hard-fork Masto myself if we hit the first milestone.

I am 4k away. Let's make this happen.

Neuestes #GrapheneOS Release:
"add toggle to Settings ➔ Location for force disabling SUPL as a carrier-independent replacement for editing APN configuration since editing APN configuration is unintuitive, not fully respected on Tensor SoC devices and users with no carrier should be able to disable it without using airplane mode" 🤗👍

@MichaelZ @Bubu Das hat @kuketzblog schon vor 5 Jahren hier beschrieben: kuketz-blog.de/android-imsi-le… – und 1 Jahr später nochmal in Punkt 2.4 hier: kuketz-blog.de/android-systeme…

Comments evolve. Der Toggle wird bald ein 3-way-toggle:

"We now have a SUPL TLS proxy, although it hasn't yet been tested with the OS […]
We'll be removing our force disable toggle for SUPL and replacing it with a 3 state toggle between GrapheneOS, Standard (carrier/fallback) and Disabled where GrapheneOS is the default […]"

Upgrade your Librem 5’s WiFi/Bluetooth module with the new SparkLAN M.2 module.

This is the module we are now shipping with all Librem 5s.

This song from my past, from a subculture I am no longer part of, popped into my head a few minutes ago: "Runaway Train" by Marty Magehee youtube.com/watch?v=D2AYsx2LJ2…

I feel like a lot of this song, apart from the overtly religious stuff that really starts in the bridge, expresses a common sentiment of reactionaries of all types. Some of it even echoes feelings about the runaway complexity of software that we see so much in online discourse.

For all the talk of the Twitter files supposedly (but not actually) revealing that Twitter was actively colluding with Democrats to censor conservatives (note: this did not actually happen), it's interesting to see that none of the Twitter Files discuss the now revealed point that Republicans regularly demanded Twitter remove tweets: techdirt.com/2023/02/09/someho…

#Monocle is #OpenSource eyewear:

"a pocket sized #AR device for the imaginative hacker."

"...tiny heads-up display which clips onto your existing eyewear. It’s packed full of powerful hardware which is perfect for when you’re on the go. It connects to your mobile phone over Bluetooth, and includes a few handy sensors such as touch buttons, camera and microphone. The included FPGA is perfect for #computerVision, #AI or graphics acceleration directly on the device."

When designing #UI and #UX, consider the "Golden 8-bit Ratio".

Text was never hard to read on 8-bit systems. A single character, generally 8x8, was a large enough portion of the screen to remain legible at distance (ie TV).

The textmode ratio of 40 or 80 chars wide by 25 chars high is a standard on MANY microcomputers and terminals. On terminals, this ratio exists today.

Consider making your text at least this large. Tiny text is really, really shitty.
