I find myself waking up at stupid hours to check whether there’s any news on Michael Mosley. He is such a good communicator through his books, TV shows and podcasts, one of those people who makes you feel like you’re in a conversation as he clearly explains concepts that are often quite complex. Things are looking very grim though. It’s really sad. Hoping fervently that they find him alive. theguardian.com/media/article/…

If ever tempted by the siren song of privatization, magical efficiency elves etc., just remember this.

"South West Water increased its annual dividend to investors to £127m in May. In the same month, 17,000 of its customers had to boil water due to contamination with the cryptosporidium parasite, which results from faecal pollution of water supplies."

@kranzkrone ein recht granularer Javascript-Blocker. Blockt manchmal ein wenig zu heftig (wie im genannten Beispiel). Dann kann ich es bei Bedarf aber immer noch für die entsprechende Site deaktivieren. Besonders schön ist dass man damit recht gut sieht, was von wo eingebunden wird. Siehst Du auch gut an den Screenshots hier: addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/…

Echt schade, dass es nicht mehr weiterentwickelt bzw. gepflegt wird 😢

@kranzkrone Das war genau der Hintergrund: Bin von NoScript damals zu uMatrix gewechselt. Finde es übersichtlicher, es kann mehr – und lädt nicht gleich nach jedem Klick die Seite neu (5 sites aktivieren = 5x reload bei NoScript, 1x reload bei uMatrix). Nur das NoScript wohl im Gegensatz zu uMatrix noch aktiv gepflegt wird…

Hello everyone!

We've just made the first release candidate for version 0.16.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Snappy Sloth.

github.com/superseriousbusines…

For adventurous instance admins, please read the release + migration notes very carefully when updating to this release, paying particular attention to the database migrations section.


Here are the release highlights:

  • Sign up / registration: In this release, you can open your instance to new registrations (aka sign-ups) via the new signup page at https://[your-instance.tld]/signup. No more manually creating new users via the CLI :)
    Documentation here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
  • Accounts overview for moderators: To support the new sign-up feature, and help instance admins to moderate, we made a new section in the settings panel where admins + moderators can get an overview of accounts, and filter by instance, status, and more. You'll find this new accounts view in the settings panel.
  • Totally reworked message delivery system and worker queues: We've completely reworked the way GoToSocial sends out messages to your followers and performs worker-related tasks; this should drastically increase the speed that outgoing messages are delivered, especially for users with lots of followers. It also paves the way for future work in terms of persisting worker and message queues over restarts.
  • Account mutes: The account mute API endpoints are now implemented, meaning you can put (timed) mutes of accounts in place, to hide statuses from specific accounts from your home timeline, and/or hide notifications from muted accounts.
  • Accurate account stats: This release introduces code to pull up-to-date counts of statuses, followers, and following from remote instances and show these stats via the API. So now in your client of choice, you should see an accurate count of the number of statuses and followers/following of a given account, no more "0 followers, 0 following, 0 statuses".
  • HTTP header permissions settings: The settings panel now has a section that allows admins to set regular expressions to deny requests depending on HTTP headers.
    Documentation here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
  • Filters v2 implementation: We've now implemented the v2 API for filters, which means you can create more complex filters to hide keywords or statuses, and more clients should be able to create filters on GoToSocial.
  • Send test email: Admins can now use the settings panel to send a test email, to check if their SMTP (email) configuration is valid.
  • Profile API: Clients that use the profile API to delete avatar + header images should now work, since we've now implemented this part of the API.
  • Search operators: We've added a first search operator to GoToSocial, so when you're searching for statuses, you can add from:@[username]@[domain] to your search term, to search only within statuses created by the given account (while still respecting the search limitations we already had in place).
    Documentation here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
  • Email change: Users can now change their email address in the settings panel without admin intervention.
    Documentation here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
  • Memory usage optimizations: GoToSocial now uses memory more conservatively than before; you should only need about 150-200MiB of memory to run GtS with a full cache, and it will spike less.

Hello hello good morning, here's the second release candidate for #GoToSocial v0.16.0!

github.com/superseriousbusines…

We fixed a bug that was preventing brand new instances from federating properly, and a bug where two accounts could refer to each other as moved_to targets.

Get it while it's fresh! 🍞 ☕️

Letzte Woche wurde eine Einrichtung der #Lebenshilfe Ziel eines rechtsradikalen Anschlags, der an die Verbrechen der Nazizeit erinnert, bei denen Menschen mit Behinderungen ermordet wurden.

@HeikoKunert von Ability Watch ruft alle auf gegen #Diskriminierung und #Gewalt vorzugehen: “Es reicht nicht, nur zuzusehen und betroffen zu sein – wir müssen aktiv werden!"

Wir sagen auch deshalb: Wählt am Sonntag bei der #Europawahl eine demokratische Partei!

For all of you having their apps listed at the #IzzyOnDroid repo: thanks to Wolfshappen, there's now another badge available in the assets directory (gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…) having a gray border, and thus better matching the most-used badges from F-Droid, PlayStore and Github. Be welcome to use it for linking to your apps at the repo :awesome:

Images without text alternatives is a huge problem. The issue is magnified when the image is a link. Realize that screen reader users receive no valuable information when the image wrapped with a link is missing a text alternative.

Ensure that all images, including those that act as link, provide appropriate text alternatives.

We can’t be dependant on a single closed source/commercial tool.

@ZAP

We’ve covered Ulysses on the show before and I can’t speak highly enough of it. It’s accessible and you can literally write a book on your iPhone with it. Some in fact have. Ulysses writing app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone gets internal linking, history navigation, more

Ex-Astronaut verunglückt: "Earthrise"-Fotograf Anders gestorben

"Earthrise", also Erdaufgang, heißt eines der berühmtesten Fotos der Erde. Geschossen wurde es von Astronaut William Anders an Heiligabend 1968. Nun ist der Apollo-8-Teilnehmer bei einem Unfall gestorben.
