Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung.
Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.

Wir fordern schonungslose Aufklärung!

Long before #Rosetta & 67P/C-G, there was Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 & its devastating 1994 encounter with Jupiter.

I was privileged to be part of the team that made & released the very first images of Fragment A impacting at ~20:15 UTC on 16 July, 30 years ago last night, as seen from Calar Alto in Spain.

The brightness of the impact plume was a huge surprise & the following week saw intense astronomical, media, & public engagement.

After reading an article on the average news site, there are usually links to articles of dubious quality that are often salacious clickbait. These are usually Taboola ads.

It is thus a huge surprise to hear that Apple plans to run ads from them in its News and Stocks apps.

For the Nation of Gondwana festival this weekend, me and Nicl worked on a 3D printed tactile map. Made me wonder if there are any standards in this direction, like what shape would a toilet have and all that. If anyone has some pointers, please let us know!

This was first drawn in inkscape and then later extruded layer by layer in openscad2.

One of the best devices I used last week was not even electronic. It works with your smartphone, but it doesn't have a battery.

I am a huge fan of the Dot Card as it lets you share your contact information without the need to give out business cards. I think the interface could be a bit more user friendly, but it is still a fantastic device.

Check it out at dot.cards

🚚 apkeep — инструмент командной строки для скачивания APK из различных источников.

github.com/EFForg/apkeep#readm…

Для поиска приложений используются их идентификаторы. Например, у Telegram `org.telegram.messenger`. Он находится в ссылках: play.google.com/store/apps/det… и f-droid.org/packages/org.teleg….

Скачать приложение (в данном случае Firefox) из источника по умолчанию в текущую папку: `apkeep -a org.mozilla.firefox .`

Источник по умолчанию — APKPure (apkpure.com). Это зеркало Google Play, которое не требует авторизации. Для скачивания напрямую с Google Play нужен логин, но это нарушает условия пользования, за что Google вправе заблокировать ваш аккаунт.

Параметр -d указывает источник: `f-droid` [1], `huawei-app-gallery`. Список версий: --list-versions. Скачать определённую версию: идентификатор@версия.

📥 Скачать apkeep для Windows, Linux, Android:
GitHub: github.com/EFForg/apkeep/relea…
Cargo: `cargo install apkeep`
Termux (Android): `pkg install apkeep`

It's striking that so many continue to deny the Nakba when it's all so well documented. This excerpt is about the ethnic cleansing of Lod (Lydda) in July 1948:
- it's very clear that the intent is on driving out all residents of Lod, not just those who could pose military threats
- Israeli heroes (David Ben Gurion, Yigal Allon, Yitzhak Rabin) were directly responsible for ordering and implementing the expulsion

Thanks for your contribution. Really appreciate it!
For this month, Pneuma Solutions provided GPU resources for training. But I still accept donations to ensure we have enough resources for future training needs.
I'm happy to receive your donations via my colleague's paypal address:

Please mention mush42/tts in the transaction note.

Please vote for an implementation of VJOURNAL in Thunderbird. 👇 This would REALLY improve the ecosystem and usability of open protocols! Currently there is almost no software on the desktop to sync your notes and journals with a CalDAV server and TB could fill a huge gap here.

This dumb password rule is from Banque de Tahiti.

You have to enter your password using this *very* Frenchy keypad. You don't have lowercase letters, the blanks are not spaces but just non-clickable gaps, but as a compensation you have some weird symbols that your keyboard does not have a key for (e.g. `µ`).

No accessible version available.
