If you're interested in using Typescript for GNOME apps, you can now use the new Typescript SDK Extension. I've also published a Typescript Template you can use as a starting point for your apps.

Sea otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift apart, a behavior known as rafting.

Kitsune is a new project that has joined the fediverse recently. It's mostly written in Rust and intends on Mastodon API compatibility so it can use the existing app ecosystem. It also just got initial support for viewing full PeerTube and Lemmy posts!

You can learn more at joinkitsune.org, and you can follow the development from here at @dev, which is being posted from a Kitsune server! Here is an example post on a live server you can look at as well dev.joinkitsune.org/posts/0188… #fediverse

I've decided to open source Ebou, the cross platform Mastodon Desktop Client.

You can find the repository here:

github.com/terhechte/Ebou

It also supports Windows, although this is beta and Windows binaries are not included yet (you'll have to compile it yourself). Attached is a Windows screenshot. Linux should be easy to support, too.

I'm open sourcing it because I think there's great value in a high quality cross platform Mastodon desktop client and I can't pull this off alone.

I have potential funding to sponsor work around Flatpak/Flathub build tooling, looking at reproducibility and transparency, ideally for developers not in US/Canada (sorry). Looking at reproducibility in build tooling like flatpak-builder, re-using NIX to build Flatpaks, reporting Flatpak builds to transparency systems like github.com/nix-community/trust…, and best practices / recipes for other build systems. Anyone with some combined Flatpak and (NIX or reproducible build) experience drop me a line!

@Jiří Eischmann :fedora: Je takový nepsaný pravidlo, že kdo měl opravdový dětství, tak se dospělosti dožil jen díky velký dávce štěstí :)

V podobným věku jsem se málem rozšlehal o různý věci. Auto v protisměru, kámen u potoka, ... Helma byla samozřejmě tou dobou sprostý slovo.

Ale těch variant je víc - například mě nikdy neohrozilo 230V ze zásuvky, ale v anténním konektoru jsem je nečekal (dal jsem si 3x po sobě, potřetí už jsem visel - bylo mi cca 14 - upadl PEN v zásuvce před :/ )

Mark your calendars!

Because of the great turnout and discussions we had on June 12,

As I recently got back into the Beatles music and have been investigating some new and updated releases, I was reminded of something that has been irritating me in the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" since the first time I heard it. For one, it is in general in a weird pitch. Somewhere between A and B-flat major. I have absolute pitch, and this cent-divergence between two semitones has me thrown off anyway. But in the middle of the song, from one verse to the chorus, the pitch changes by another few cents, and from this point on, John sounds like the song is playing on a cassette tape recorder that runs on low battery. The voice is clearly not natural sounding.

I investigated a bit, and found this video that explains why. It won't stop irritating me, but at least now I know why. youtube.com/watch?v=QgtzOafdoO…

I'm curious, how sensitive is your absolute pitch? How far off does a note have to be from standard tuning for you to notice? I mostly notice if, for example, the tuning is about halfway between A and B-flat, such that it could plausibly be either a sharp A or a flat B-flat. You know what I mean? One example that's borderline for me is "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, though I guess it's closer to a sharp A minor.

El cuadro de Goya "Saturno devorando a su hijo" es en realidad una alegoría de Fernando VII.

Radiografías de la pintura demuestran que en los bocetos Saturno lucía un pene descomunal, con una deformación conocida que padecía el rey felón.

La pequeña figura que se ve en el cuadro es una niña y no un niño. Una niña, España, a la que le ha sido arrancada la cabeza, en referencia al liberalismo que Fernando VII había descabezado tras su retorno en 1814.

Call me old-fashioned, but if a car kills people at ten times the rate of other cars,
the company covers up the data,
and the CEO lies to the public and says the cars are safer…

I think that CEO should go to jail on fraud charges.

This seems like a good time to plug my new novel. The Poisoned Chalice is Book 4 in the Sempronius Scipio series. This one covers the bloody events of the Year of Six Emperors, so Scipio has his work cut out, especially as he has to contend with devious Senators, murderous assassins & angry soldiers led by a vengeful Emperor.
The book is available from Amazon in paperback & Kindle formats.

Ve výboru kauzy Pegasus jsem prosazoval úplný zákaz jeho používání. Nakonec došlo ke kompromisu – buď dodržování striktních podmínek, nebo nic.

Dnes jsme v Evropském parlamentu vyzvali Komisi, aby takovou legislativu navrhla. Soudem nenařízené špehování občanů je nepřijatelné.

Špionážní software Pegasus, který pořídily vlády v Polsku, v Maďarsku, v Řecku či ve Španělsku, byl zneužit ke sledování investigativních novinářů, opozičních politiků či dokonce soudců. ⚠️

twitter link, COVID and propaganda

“if you stopped taking the pandemic seriously just because the reporting changed on it, you should be aware that you're a type of person who is very susceptible to propaganda and mass media manipulation

if you can be convinced that your lives, your friends' lives, your family's lives, your community's lives are less important than consumption, you can be convinced of anything. and that's something you should be aware of about yourself”
