Gemäß @RKI@social.bund.de waren in den letzten Sommern um diese Zeit nie so viele Menschen gleichzeitig krank wie jetzt. Die #Corona-Inzidenz wird auf 600 geschätzt (von Hobbymodellierern höher - irgendwo zwischen 800 und 1.300).
Sämtliche Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen wurden im März 2022 beendet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass Journalist*innen nicht immer noch von "Nachholeffekten" schreiben, sondern mal endlich hinterfragen, ob wir ohne Infektionsschutz wirklich besser dran sind.

Hi, I'm Regalia and I'm a cute dog delivered to you over JSON-LD. Most of my stuff here is just me posting about how I feel or what I'm doing, came from bark.lgbt before settling at envs.net here.
For the technical side, I do work around the social VR sphere, I do sysadmin as a hobby (bearer of the curse image here) and I dabble in video encoding (even if it can feel like witchcraft sometimes). I'm also the trans Arch Linux user, because of course I am.
Oh, also I'm gay. Really fucking gay. There's so many cute girls, especially if they have floppy ears. Pet them. Pet the dog girls.

New study finds that not everything needs a f**king podcast

I urge everyone to read this post from Lucky Tran about a proposed mask ban in Nassau County that would see people fined $1000 for wearing a mask. As soon as North Carolina passed their mask ban - we began seeing other cities and states follow suit.
Mask bans are wrong. Period. We are in an airborne pandemic where one of our best and only tools remains a well fitted respirator. The idea that people should have to carry around a medical exemption (which not everyone can obtain) or face fines and/or arrest is ableist and discriminatory. These bans force disabled people out of society because they don’t allow us to exist safely in public spaces - and they will increase the spread of Covid.
Call, email, post… speak out against these bans. Let lawmakers know you won’t visit any city or state that doesn’t allow people to wear a medical device for personal protection and community care.

This is really worrying. There's a bill in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, that has a good chance of passing due to GOP majority, that would fine people $1,000 for wearing a mask. https://www.nbcnewyork.Med-Mastodon
I would love to encourage y'all #GUADEC attendees to use the "Download" button from the event's Indico platform (that button is in each event's details page) to use it directly in #GNOMECalendar, but… it turns out that you'd run into this silly timezones bug where the event importer dialog considers UTC times to be the local time 🤦
So… can I motivate someone to send a merge request for gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… ? This would be timely for #GNOME's main conference next week 😉

• binres.py: add manifest-info subcommand, various fixes & improvements. • diff-zip-meta.py: diff archive comment. • zipalign.py: add --replace. • add zipalignment.py. • add test coverage [#18].GitHub
OK, there we go – and apologies for the delay, but there was heavy #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 21 updated and 1 added apps:
* Musikus: your personal practice companion
One app returned to #IzzyOnDroid on request of its author, though it's also available at F-Droid:
* LogFox: a LogCat reader
JetNote was removed, as announced earlier – and Occtax switched to a proper signing key.
Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo!
IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).IzzyOnDroid App Repo
@tholaw Das musst Du bei GOS fragen. Dort möchte man wie die Meldung besagt, 32bit Apps nicht länger unterstützen. Das IzzyOnDroid Repo setzt bei verschiedenen Apps allerdings auf die 32bit Version, um möglichst viele Geräte zu unterstützen (mit Ausnahme des Pixel 8 plus unterstützen alle 64bit Geräte auch die 32bit Architektur – reine 32bit Geräte können aber technisch keine 64bit unterstützen).
Du kannst natürlich auch Thibault fragen ob er die 64bit Version in IoD bevorzugt, und wir switchen

Before the update run completes & app-rain toot comes, some other exciting news from the #IzzyOnDroid repo that won't fit in there:
* JetNote was removed as it still used a debug key for signing.
* Occtax switched to a new and proper signing key, using key rotation, so even direct updates are possible*.
So gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/… could finally be closed. There should be no debug-signed apps at IzzyOnDroid anymore after the next sync.

*Your F-Droid client will most likely not even show the update unless you have "show incompatible signatures" turned on – and even then refuse to update. But downloading the APK and installing it via your file manager, or using "adb install" should work to update it without uninstalling, keeping all data intact.
@j_r technically possible yes. Practicable no, for multiple reasons:
* you'd never get hold of the signing key used by F-Droid
* you should not give them yours either
* even if you would or they would, their setup would not allow it (that part of fdroidserver was broken back in January/February, as I just mentioned again). It would however work with IzzyOnDroid. But then a "seemless switch" would only be possible with NeoStore or Droid-ify, otherwise manual actions would be needed (as outlined)
@Sentinel999 and now look at the "provided by": Installed from F-Droid, update from IzzyOnDroid. Most likely FairEmail is not RB at F-Droid, but let me check… Bingo. So F-Droid ships a version signed with their key, while IoD ships it signed with Marcel's key. Expected behavior.

Which is why the update now is offered to you *despite the different sig*. This only makes sense if you override sig check in the system eg via an Xposed module. Better switch it back 😉

Okay, I think I fixed the link.
So, this is like, one of the first times I've done this, but I wanted to show a bit of installing Fedora Linux on my laptop. I'd already started the installation, but it shows most of it, and a bit of setup afterwards. I recorded this on my iPhone, so it won't sound the best. A few things I forgot to mention:
* You cannot buy IBM Viavoice (Eloquence) for Linux anymore, but it's of course still floating around.
* We also have DecTalk on Linux, obvious from the BTSpeak using it.
* You can also get Vocalizer voices.
* There's also Piper of course.
