Maybe I will add some random thoughts and experiences related to disability to this thread over the month. So long I will leave you with the seasonal design for apps.gnome.org

It's time to participate in the @playdate Community Census 2024!

It's been almost two years since our last census, and The #Playdate Squad is excited to conduct another one.

It is an excellent way to learn more about who is in our community, how they use their devices, and what they would like to see in the future!

in reply to Donald Fraser

Can't participate without a google account unfortunately. :(

This might skew your results perhaps? At least here on the fediverse I guess it's somewhat common to not use any of google's services.

Hey Bubu, this was an issue for 1 or two people last year.

Let me get you a special link.

🤩 That was incredibly beautiful... There's a purity to your singing ! I am not super familiar with Ed Sheeran's music but he always struck me as cheesy... perhaps I judged him too harshly... more likely you're the one magnifying his songs


The new Ladybird initiative is exciting: a new US non-profit initially backed by $1m to support development of Ladybird, an open source web browser that isn't based on a fork of something older and that doesn't depend on Google for funding! simonwillison.net/2024/Jul/1/t…

in reply to Simon Willison

I do wonder why Chris decided to fund Ladybird and not Servo. Servo is no longer a Mozilla project, and it's written in Rust while all the production engines are C++ and so is Ladybird.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Looks to me that Ladybird has managed to become much closer to a viable browser in a fraction of the time Servo has been around. They have a bigger community and a lot more momentum. So it’s a pretty pragmatic choice.

I would like to know more about this mechanism BSD implemented in 2001 that prevents this class of issues, that I apparently don’t have available on Linux in 2024.

Also: is it just me or does it feel like it’s always glibc these days.

in reply to mhoye

It's also in FreeBSD: freebsd.org/security/advisorie… So it's not just Linux, and certainly not just glibc, though I suppose musl on Linux might have a mitigation. The thing that prevented the issue in 2001 was only in OpenBSD.

Des médecins d'origine étrangère souhaiteraient quitter les déserts médicaux où ils exercent et où une majorité d'habitants a voté pour l'extrême droite.

Long weekends are for practicing.
I’m still struggling with how unforgiving is the Gibson Les Paul with its sound and tiny quirks, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it.
I’m also aiming to get a few gigs around September!

After three years of writing, our follow-up to the classic 2006 paper is finally out! In "What Goes Around Comes Around… And Around…", Stonebraker and I examine the last 20 years in databases and talk about why relational DBs are going to reign supreme.

I don't begrudge Slack for making this change, but I think this is why loss-leader free plans are evil for many businesses: when the music stops, and you need to cut costs, you end up consigning millions of people's thoughts and words and ideas to ashes.

Is there anyone in the #linuxmobile community with some experience in (or motivation to learn) #openmp (or something similar) who'd be willing to help a bit with a patch of mine for the #libcamera softwareISP? It's an important piece of sw that allows us to use "complex" cameras even when we don't have ISP drivers.

The patch I started already shows promising results on e.g. the #librem5, however I could use some help getting it into a mergable state :)

Israel's current strategy is a recipe for further humanitarian disasters, endless war and the creation of another generation of Palestinians bent on Israel’s destruction. If Israel wants to prevent Hamas from regenerating itself, it should offer the people of Gaza a more positive and hopeful alternative vision of the future. wapo.st/45Ldg1S
