Über den völlig aufgebauschten Pseudo-Skandal um Habeck durch #Cicero haben alle Medien berichtet. Dass #Volksverpetzer juristisch gewonnen hat und sagen darf, dass "Cicero einfach Dinge dazugedichtet hat, um einen Skandal zu erfinden”, darüber schweigen bis heute ALLE Medien. volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/ak…


The "Pay or Consent" advertising model of Meta fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act.

Our preliminary findings show that this choice forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data and fails to provide them a less personalised but equivalent version of Meta’s social networks.

There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

Did some digging, and it turns out that GNOME Software's plugin API has changed quite a bit. It's not stable (intentionally so since most plugins are meant to be in-tree), so I wonder if maintaining an APK-specific plugin is a bad move. Perhaps it would be better to instead make a PackageKit implementation for APK, so that Software can communicate through the PackageKit plugin?

And a tip o' the hat to @hanno for the initial post about it: mastodon.social/@hanno/1127103…

It looks like this advisory was coordinated with distributors and patches already released a few days ago, but just in case: Go forth and patch your shit!

Unbekannte Wuppertaler sprühen sich selbst einen 150 Meter langen Radfahrstreifen - WDR - www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rheinl…
in reply to Zukunft Mobilität

ich finds ja schon bezeichnend, dass die Polizei erkennt, dass in dieser unübersichtlichen s kurve eine Gefahr für Kollision besteht, dann aber damit ok ist, dass die Kollision gegen Menschen auf dem Fahrrad passiert.

Bei jeder Kollision dort liegt die Ursache in unangepasstem fahrverhalten eines Autofahrers, der zu schnell in diese s kurve einfährt.

Die Markierung macht das allgemeine Risiko in dieser kurve sichtbarer und bewegt dadurch Autofahrer von ganz alleine schon vorsichtiger zu fahren.

Das senkt sowohl das Risiko für Autos im Gegenverkehr als auch für Radfahrer.

Dass dann die Polizei vor Ort die Ansicht vertritt, dass vorsichtigeres Fahrverhalten mehr Unfälle erzeuge, ist bezeichnend für die weite Verbreitung hirntoter Autofetisch Narrative in unserem Land

Interesting 🤔 how #CVE are leveraged as resume items, putting #programmers #developers & project leads under pressure by #bogus CVE reports or unnecessary high CVE ratings.

Popular and obscure programs are affected in the #OpenSource #POSIX world e.g #Linux #freeBSD #netBSD #openBSD

#Curl ➰ by #Daniel #Stenberg and #IP by #Fedor #Indutny are popular programs hit by this #phenomena which can lead to unwarranted #panic in the users space

Por nuestra parte, para facilitar las cosas, debemos meter nuestro JID y número de teléfono. Cuesta dinero hacerlo una vez, pero bueno, es más realista pagar nosotros que nuestros contactos.

The full data won't be in for another 7 days, but I'm pretty sure it was another record month for global average daily 2m air temperature and 60S-60N daily average sea surface temperature. N Atlantic SST is probably very close to June 2023's record.

Hurricane #Beryl becomes the first Category 4 on record in June in the Atlantic.

There is no historical precedent. Records date back to 1851.

police violence in finland.

court has ruled in favour of extinction rebels in a case where police force recklessly assaulted the protesters. for example, pepper spray was sprayed directly on peaceful protesters faces, while protesters sat in the demonstration.

Does the sale include the defending part of the trademark infringement action? :)


I'm still working my way through the official Rust book. Honestly, it's great. Not only does it explain Rust without dumbing things down too much, but it's very accessible. Code isn't in one of those widgets that repeats each line or forces line numbers on me, and what images there are have extremely thorough alt text. I'm very impressed. doc.rust-lang.org/book/

@kaveinthran I worked through it to learn Bevy and I have to say more: It also explains programming concepts extremely well.

edited to include the original source URL. I ran across this writing in the things I save, originallly found at wheresyourdog.com/2019/04/05/i… and I thought I'd post it here.
I don't want you to be grateful.
I don’t want you to be grateful that you don’t have my life. I want you to ask yourself why it’s so hard, why it’s so unfair, and what you can do about it. I want you to see the barriers—the inaccessible environments and the crushing weight of low expectations—and realize that, without these roadblocks, it wouldn’t be quite so hard and unfair. I want you to know that I wasn’t put on this earth to encourage you to appreciate what you have. I want you to understand that, in a more inclusive world, there would be little need to look at a disabled person and think, “Thank God that’s not me.” I want you to know that through the smallest acts, you can help make that happen.
I don’t want to inspire you. I want my ordinary actions to be just that: ordinary. I want to be more than a motivational meme or symbol of struggle. I want you to see me, not just the white cane, the dog, the wheelchair, the diagnosis, the brain or the body that doesn’t work exactly like yours does. I want you to admire my strong points without erasing my weak ones. I want you to stop attaching “for a disabled person” to every compliment you pay me. I want you to see my talents and charms, my flaws and my quirks—the things that make me every bit as human as you.
I don’t want you to tell me you’re my ally. I want you to show me. I want you to model that care with your actions, your values and your votes. I want you to describe your photos and call out that friend who’s always complaining about the “handicaps” on welfare. I want you to ask why that new restaurant doesn’t have an accessible entrance. I want you to recognize that a thousand social media posts can never equal an in-the-moment act of kindness. I want you to accept that how you make me feel is far more impactful than what you post on Social media.
I don’t want to be in your diversity poster, your diversity working group, your diversity brochure. I want to be consulted for practical solutions, not publicity stunts—because my time is worth more than that, and so is yours. I want you to seek my feedback not because the optics are favourable, but because my perspective is of value and I have something to offer you. I want two-way streets. I want to help move things forward, but I can’t do that while I’m sitting at the token table.
I don’t want to make you a better person. I want to increase your awareness and deepen your understanding. I want to point you toward opportunities for growth and education. I want you to be part of the solution. I want you to stand beside me as my equal and my ally, not because it makes you a good person but because better treatment of disabled people makes good sense for everyone.
I don’t want your charity. I want you to hire me. I want you to rent to me. I want you to let me take your class. I want you to be the patient or the client or the customer who doesn’t flinch when a disabled person walks into the room. I want you to trust that I am suitably qualified and that I will meet your standards. I want you to be comfortable with the concept of working, productive disabled people. I want you to wonder why there aren’t more of us.
I don’t want you to be my voice. I want you to acknowledge that I have my own voice. I want you to amplify it, bring it to the ears of those who wouldn’t otherwise listen. I want you to help the world understand that I am not, and have never been, voiceless. I want you to refuse when you are asked to represent me. I want you to point in my direction when someone asks, “What does he think? What does he need?” I want you to step back, because I am my own best advocate. And when the world asks you to speak for me, I want you to pass the mic, because my story is mine to tell.
