well fuck.

telegram decided to sneak in a nazi symbol in their announcement of NFT usernames today, so i guess this is the thing that makes me switch to Signal. (1488 in the subscriber count, and i have been informed that 4/20 is Hitler's birthday, so y'know, not a coincidence)

edit: wolfie@queer.party pointed out another thing, they're highlighting Tucker Carlson in the blog post

edit 2: they replaced 1488 with 1391 on the blog post which is not an improvement. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre…

from #WinAerro. OH my gosh! I remember MSDoss. For those of you who are let's say 35 and older, you might remember using MSDoss in late 80s to early 90s. Look up more info on the win aero blog and download their suite of apps and utilities. Note, I did not write any of this, I'm not that good! lol!

#Mastodon and #Bluesky are both federated, but they use different federation protocols and don't yet work well together. Here's some good news that Bluesky (the only member of its #ATProtocol federation) is taking steps toward interoperability with #Mastodon and the many members of the #ActivityPub federation, aka the #Fediverse.

This will allow to make video playback in various apps much faster. And, if everything works out, allow the same for Camera viewfinders in apps like #gnome camera / snapshot 🤞

Es kommt gerade sehr regelmäßig vor, dass ich solche Post bekomme. Das Bundesamt für Justiz hat sich jetzt auch die Mühe gemacht, mir einen bereits digital zugestellten Barrierefreiheits-Prüfbericht auszudrucken und nochmal per Post zuzuschicken. Wie immer hat der ganze Prüfbericht am oberen Rand einen dicken schwarzen Balken, der auf jede der 72 Seiten gedruckt wurde.

Eine Verwendung für den Print hat niemand und er ist für mich nicht barrierefrei. Verwaltung in einer Nussschale. #Inklusion

in reply to Casey

Vielleicht ist es mir durchgegangen, aber was genau ist dein Problem mit einer der einzig barrierefreien Quellen für Gesetzestexte in Deutschland? Wenn es gesetze-im-internet nicht gäbe, wäre ich nicht in der Lage, mein Studium mit juristischem Schwerpunkt zu absolvieren. Nutze die Seite mehrfach täglich. Scheint also zu tun. Mir fallen auf Anhieb mehrere Beispiele ein, die tatsächlich nicht nutzbar sind. Aber die sind dann halt nicht so groß.

😡 The @EU_Commission is giving up on @Mastodon and @peertube because @EDPS couldn’t find an agency within the commission to continue operating it.

in reply to Jeremiah Lee

The @EDPS missed an Internet meme moment to use the phrase “our incredible journey” when announcing the discontinuation of EU Voice and EU Video. ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.co…

Was the experiment really “a successful story” when the outcome was learning the @EU_Commission doesn’t care about digital sovereignty enough to lead by example?

GDPR and DSA are great for changing the status quo of social networks.

But to build a better future, governments must adopt, support, and use the alternatives.

The problem of being aware of reaching an important milestone very soon.

Very close to 60,000. It always feels like the changeset with the round figure must be something special, a masterpiece… 🤩

Or maybe it will be just a mundane edit with StreetComplete, who knows.

No matter how many changesets one brings to OSM, every edit that improves our map is useful.

use #invidious to look for videos, play them locally through mpv

The G often pounds invidious instances, making it impossible to play videos through the service. However, searching for videos in most cases still works. This is all you need to get a url of the video and then stream it locally through yt-dlp (mpv).

Ich möchte auch einen umfassenden "gesellschaftlichen Aufarbeitungsprozess".

Warum wurden wir so inkonsequent geschützt? Warum wurde so konsequent aufgegeben? Warum wurde die Intensität der Forschung reduziert? Warum haben wir immernoch nichts gelernt für den Alltag? Warum kein Recht auf Schutz?

Ich bin wütend. Und ich vermute, keine dieser Fragen werden ernsthaft gestellt.

It's so funny that one of the oldest provident funds in the world is the Malayan one (now known as EPF in Malaysia and CPF in Singapore). It's older than any iteration of this territory as a postcolonial state (1951). The easiest way to think of it is a pension scheme for the private sector - but that's such a leftwing thing to say here if I were to use that description I evidently will blow people away. Consequently people are more encouraged to think of it merely as a savings fund, a convenient framework as every successive generation of neoliberal seek to externalise any public obligation and social welfare. The big con that really got going in COVID era is the political encouragement to have people demand the right to 'withdraw their savings'.

Anyway, as political compromises go, this seems fine but if anyone wants free advice, that's below this post.
