"This last encounter was so much more than just a fling. Not because we’re falling in love… but because it proved to me that I have accepted myself, and that others can and will accept me too." #ICYMI last week's gorgeous guest blog by Ana ❤

Guest blog: Casual sex helped me learn to accept myself

Ana talks about the casual sex experience that made her realise she'd managed to shake off shame and insecurity and accept herself.

I'd like to thank @gregorni, @vixalientoots, and Ibrahim Muhammad for helping me with quality checking the internationalized text generation so far. Ibrahim has patiently tested my various iterations of the text widgetry to ensure that it handles Arabic text properly.

I'd also like to thank @sophie for pointing me in the right direction when building the text widgetry, and for helping me get started with libadwaita's animation framework.

You're all wonderful people! 🥰

Russia has destroyed over 50% of Ukraine's power generation capacity, FT reports.

#Russian attacks on #Ukrainian power plants aren't new, but, the #EU ambassador to Kyiv said that the most recent strikes have hit hydroelectric and thermal power plants, which are harder to fix.

It seems Applause Group, famous for buying and, for many of us, ruining Voice Dream Reader, is at it again. I've never used Bartender, but I've heard a lot about it. appleinsider.com/articles/24/0…

Bartender app's new owner has burnt years of good-will with a lack of transparency

Popular app Bartender was quietly bought, and a shady certificate replacement, insertion of invasive telemetry, and a lack of transparent responses by the new owners has shaken confidence in the Mac community

Big release incoming!

DAVx5 4.4 is coming with a complete rewrite to Compose and M3 and lots of updates on UI side!

We've streamlined all components of DAVx5 and made it easier understandable as a whole. It is more accessible with additional labels, cleaner colors, a new overview for resources, and a newly introduced single view. You will notice the UI is now a lot more responsive, too!

We introduced client certs for WebDAV mounts and fixed various bugs.

@heiseonline Ernsthaft? "… bei Nutzung ohne Pur-Abo stets eine Zustimmung in personalisierte Werbung erforderlich ist." Betonung: PERSONALISIERT. Und MIT PROFILBILDUNG. Werbung per se kann man ja noch verstehen – aber findet Ihr nicht, dass Ihr da weit über das Ziel hinaus schießt? Da werden einige Eurer bislang treuen Leser wohl in Zukunft eher Abstand halten. Und ich weiß nicht, ob man Euch da noch ohne Gewissensbisse verlinken kann 😢 Profilbildung sollte abwählbar sein.
Neues Cookie-Banner bei Heise macht Werbung MIT PROFILBILDUNG zur Pflicht, wenn man kein PUR-Abo abschließen möchte: "Datenverarbeitungen von Werbeanbietern einschl. personalisierter Werbung mit Profilbildung" MUSS dort jetzt zwangsweise zugestimmt werden

@c_th1 Eigentlich. Aber da wird man sich wohl auf das "PUR-Abo Urteil" herausreden. Trotzdem: Was *rechtlich* erlaubt ist, muss nicht unbedingt *moralisch* korrekt sein (und umgekehrt). Und es ist zumindest fragwürdig, wenn Artikel die Datensammelei anprangern – die präsentierende Website aber selbst genau das tut, was sie da gerade anprangert.

Shout out to Text Pieces! I needed to URL-encode a big ugly string (creating a template form from URL parameters, yay!) and yep, sure enough, it made it stupidly easy.

The next time you need to encode, transform, or convert some text on Linux, reach for this pretty little offline app instead of pasting your data into some random website. 👍

World-first tooth-regrowing drug will be given to humans in September

The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.

Hacking on the PipeWire GStreamer elements

Last week I attended the GStreamer spring hackfest in Thessaloniki. It was very nice to meet all the usual people again, as it’s been a while (I last attended a GStreamer event in 2022), and we had a great time!

We often think of Philanthropy purely as donations by the rich, but it is something we can all do. Philanthropy is broader: "the desire to promote the welfare of others". How can you promote the welfare of others this week? Do you know anyone who might benefit from knowing about NVDA?

Regarding the Google leak I'll concur with @Seirdy : I don't trust any conclusions from these leaks as to how Google uses these metrics they gather.
Apparently it included docs, but we all know quickly those get out of date!
