Hello, hello Jamers 😍

Do #emojis have the same meaning for everyone? 🤔

These little images and characters, used to express emotions or represent characters and actions, are not always understood in the same way by #everyone. Their interpretation can vary according to #cultural context. 🌍 🌎 🌏

You can easily discern the meaning of each emoji at Jami. Want to know how? Read the article! 😍

hmm looking for a feed reader solution where I can sync the state between desktop and android and get a good ux on both

requirements:
- open source
- sync between desktop linux (can be a webapp) and android (must be native)

so far I looked at:
- FreshRSS - if there's a good android app for it, it could work, but the online demo page is kinda useless for testing 50% of the features I care about, so idk if I should spend the time spinning up a test instance
- TinyTinyRSS - gets a failing grade for not supporting feed discovery but also it concerns me that the FAQ assumes you're not using TLS and tells you to disable CSP if you have issues
- RSSGuard - doesn't handle sync itself, overall janky, doesn't handle images well, doesn't handle feed updates well, at least it's a native app so full text feeds will work offline and it has a good amount of features but it just doesn't work that well

and currently I use Feeder on android which overall works really well but it only has its own custom sync protocol that isn't compatible with anything else so I can't sync to my computer

Dear Hackers,

Public libraries, and libraries in general, are not your enemies. They are some of the last places in the world where people can go, hang out, and do things without any expectation of money changing hands. They are a physical manifestation of file sharing and a corporeal form of torrenting. That in mind, libraries are chronically underfunded and they're currently under attack by right-wing politicians and fascists, but I suppose I repeat myself there.

As such, they make lousy targets for ransomware attacks. Chances are, you're not likely to see any money because they have no money to pay you. All you've done is hurt those who are less fortunate than you, you've hurt children, you've hurt students, and you've made no progress towards "sticking it to the man" or whatever.

For god's sake, leave the library alone. Or maybe, come visit one sometime.

Thanks,
Cyberpunk Librarian

Well @menelion it took a couple of weeks, but the accessibility category on the GitHub discussion board is much cleaner ✨

We were able to delete a bunch of spam, move some issues into a more accurate category, and close-out a lot of already resolved issues 💪

There is a lot of work still to be done internally to be sure the legitimate issues are correctly reported and tracked, but happy to be able to report some progress

Today I learned that hi vis workwear kilts exist, and I think it's very important that I inform the Fediverse of this fact.

The kilt is a legendary symbol of Scotland. Blåkläder has taken the kilt and created a different type of functional clothing for those who want to make a statement and enjoy the comfort and ventilation that a kilt provides.

Two days ago, a stone was thrown onto the window of a housing unit for people with disabilities in Mönchengladbach, Germany. The stone had “euthanasia is the solution” written on it.

It’s clearly a right-wing neo-Nazi attack, considering that the Nazis used to systematically kill disabled people which they deemed unworthy to live.

There has not been an appropriate outrage. Ableism is still very common in Germany, and the Nazi history is a reason for it.

Nazis raus!

Weshalb automatische Übersetzungen noch lange nicht gut sind:

Ausgangssatz: „…found that children of authoritarian parents were verbally and physically more aggressive than those of authoritative parents“.

Weder Google noch Deepl erkennen den Unterschied zwischen „authoritarian“ und „authoritative“, sondern übersetzen beides mit „autoritär“.

dict.leo.org ist auch nicht wirklich nützlich: dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/…

Allerdings bin ich positiv beeindruckt von ChatGPT 3.5 (via DuckDuckGo). Es liefert gute Definitionen der Wörter und wenn (in neuer Session) direkt nach der Übersetzung gefragt wird, kommt sofort autoritär vs autoritativ.

So richtig schick sind die Erklärungen von Claude 3 Haiku (auch via DDG) in Bild 2.

Also: Deepl und Google Translate leider outdated shrug

On her streams, @lina has demonstrated the ability to run many commercial games on Asahi Linux. This may seem simple (they're just games!) but actually requires the combination of multiple bleeding edge technologies:

- FEX-Emu: a high-performance x86_64 emulator for aarch64.
- TSO enabling.
- Alyssa's superb reverse engineered GL drivers.
- An implementation of Rob Clark's DRM native context for asahi.
- krun for lightweight virtualization and virglrenderer integration.

New blog post: Takeaways from the Google Content Warehouse API documentation leak.

A leak of all of Google’s 14,000 ranking factors recently hit the news. I go over some of the ones that people are eyeing more closely, and end with a cold shower to cool down some of the misleading hype from the SEO industry.

Excerpt:

We only have API documentation. We don’t know about any hidden knowledge, whether any of these factors have a ranking weight of “zero”, whether any of these conditionally apply, which are only used internally for testing…Serious conclusions drawn from this leak are, to some degree, speculation.

Linux blind users, listen to this and let me know what you guess this actually is, and most importantly, what you think! I'm just gauging interest as this is still in its early infancy, and I was wondering if it was worth continuing. As you can infer, I'm already far enough to have a working yet incomplete prototype!

So, Microsoft have noticed that the MS Edge UI renders too slowly. They’ve done research. And you know what? The culprit is layers and layers of interdependent JavaScript framework magic that slows itself down too much. SURPRISE! Now wait until they find out that rendering a truly native UI might even be faster than WebUI 2.0. But that may take another ten years. blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20…

Edit: blog post up.

Everybody’s jumping to ridiculous conclusions from the Google leak, some of which are absolutely warranted.

My opinion on Google Search has lowered reading through the leaked API docs, but I don’t like it when people agree with me for the wrong reason. There’s no nuance in online discussions, and even the somewhat authorative blog posts people have written have gotten things wrong. Ugh.

Feeling cute, might write a blog post about this later
