Zuletzt hatten wir in unseren Umfragen größere Veränderungen beim Vertrauen in Institutionen beobachtet. Nach einem Vertrauensrückgang in alle untersuchten Institutionen im April ´22 konnte zuletzt das Vertrauen in Gewerkschaften den größten Zugewinn verzeichnen. @BettiKohlrausch und ich haben dazu eine genauere Analyse durchgeführt.

This article by NOS on how NS is going to be allowed to also financially punish people who have to travel during peak hours has this rather neat summary on how NS is being financed.
Essentially, the only subsidy they get is for the free student travel. Everything else (including a fixed annual concession fee and track usage fees) are paid through tickets (and other commercial activities such as Abellio abroad.

Big thanks to Sakamoto for stepping up to maintain the #Firewire subsystem for the #Linux kernel.
I still use an #RME #Fireface800 and it works super well with the #ALSA driver he wrote using #pipewire.
I hope even post 2029 someone will be up for maintaining it as the devices are solid and using them on Linux is a great countermeasure against their planned obsolescence.

It's likely been years since many of you have heard of Firewire and some readers likely never had the opportunity to use itwww.phoronix.com
@Bubu it's one of RME's legacy devices. A multi-channel audio interface with plenty of I/O:

There's no Mastodon slump.
Sign-ups continue to increase -- albeit, not at the same rate as in November -- November was a spike.
While Monthly Average Users (MAUs) decreased since November, it's increased again this month (according to @Gargron).
But what's more interesting is that Half Year Average Users (HYAUs) is at a peak.
And we're very close to breaking 1 billion posts per month!
See chart.

Mastodon Servers Status. Find a Mastodon server to sign up for, find one close to you!mastodon.fediverse.observer
Every app on the Fediverse could talk to Bluesky if they really wanted to, and Bluesky really was as decentralized as they say they want to be.
For example, look at Friendica. It uses at least four protocols to talk to other server software:
1. DRFN
2. Diaspora
3. OStatus
4. ActivityPub
In theory, adding AT protocol shouldn’t be a big deal—it’s open source.
The question is whether Bluesky actually wants to federate with other servers.
The real competition isn’t “Mastodon vs. Bluesky”.
It’s “ActivityPub protocol vs AT protocol”.
One is used by nearly 25,000 servers. The other is used by one server.
On a per node basis, which one do you think is winning?

„Stärkster Rückgang seit 2008: #Reallöhne in Deutschland deutlicher gesunken als bislang angenommen
Das Statistische Bundesamt revidierte am Donnerstag die Zahlen. 2022 verringerten sich die Reallöhne demnach um 4,0 anstatt 3,1 Prozent. Der Wert sinkt das dritte Jahr in Folge.
Trotz der stetig sinkenden Reallöhne hat sich die Zahl der #Arbeitskämpfe in Deutschland einer Studie zufolge im vergangenen Jahr kaum erhöht.“
Hauptsache, die Boni steigen.

Today @NASA tweaked the power system on Voyager 2 so its instruments could stay online.
The spacecraft is powered by three MHW-RTG (Multi-Hundred-Watt Radioisotope-Thermoelectric-Generator) units.
They used Pu-238 to provide a total of 470 watts at launch, but Pu-238 has a half-life of 87.7 years, so 46 years later the craft is down to ~348 watts.
That they can keep a 50 year-old machine operating on a fraction of its power by making modifications from billions of miles away is AMAZING!

Is anyone able to do a hashtag search for #Calckey on mastodon.social?
For some reason, when I do this, mastodon.social gives me an 404 error page. I've tried this while being logged in and out of mastodon.social.

Hey, here’s my usual breakdown of Amazon's quarterly business results: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20…
Tl;dr: Amazon retail loses money, but AWS and Advertising emit floods of profit that cover those losses. Does this sound sane to you?
AWS’s growth is slowing but it’s still a damn fine business and should been have spun off from the retail behemoth years ago.

in reply to Tuta • • •Also, if I do import 10+ years of mail history, how will the search keep up with that?
And YES I am at least as excited about it!!

in reply to Martijn de Vrieze - TK69241 • • •@martijndevrieze It's a very first prototype, challenge now it that emails are correctly sorted into folders. This might take a few more months; hopefully we can release during the summer.
We plan to improve search in general, and for this we will also focus on performance in larger mailboxes. On desktop performance is already excellent (just make sure not to delete the cached search index).
