El futbol llanero devora las chinampas de Xochimilco:

Desde hace más de una década en cientos de chinampas ya no se siembra, se juega futbol. Ya sea porque los propios chinamperos decidieron cambiar los cultivos por balones o porque otros fueron despojados de sus tierras. Se trata de una zona declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.

I know it's probably just the time until midnight eastern time, but my head canon is now that you have a beeping countdown clock on your wall that counts down the seconds until your ultimatum from the elder council runs out.


Original PaX emulates the NX-bit by marking all non-executable user pages as supervisor mode pages, thus causing *any* access to fault, or using segmentation hacks.

I'm not sure it is worth emulating NX-bit anymore in 2024.

in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian:

Computers that old are the ones that can least afford the performance overhead of emulating a hardware feature in software. Seems not worth it to me.

I also just found that my bns, instead of... you know, turning on, howls like a banshee. in fact, all 3 of my 640's do. sad times.


I recently discovered that the OpenCore boot loader has a screen reader built into it, which makes it the only boot manager accessible to the blind. OpenCore contains UEFI drivers for different hardware and filesystems, and one of them is an audio driver that works with Intel HDA cards that are very common on both desktop and laptop motherboards. There is an option in its configuration file called PickerAudioAssist that enables the screen reader if the audio driver is configured. When this is enabled, OpenCore will speak which operating systems are available to boot, and then it will speak the selected option when you press an arrow key, and it will say which option it is loading when you press enter or when the timeout expires. It uses audio files of the words and phrases it speaks instead of using a speech synthesizer, so it is limited in what it can speak. For example, there are audio files for Windows and MacOS but not for Linux, so it will say "other OS" for any linux distribution. However, this is still much better than only hearing a beep and having to guess where you are or memorize the menu to figure out which option is selected. OpenCore was designed to boot MacOS on non-Apple hardware, so it implemented audio and screen reading functionality similar to what Apple implemented on Intel Macs but for all X86 computers, and you don't need to install MacOS to use OpenCore if you don't want to. dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Po…

@vick21 @weirdwriter I'm not sure since I only started using OpenCore very recently. Have you gotten it to work?
in reply to Elijah Massey

@weirdwriter No, I actually busted my old Mac and need to get back to it to recover. Hopefully, then I will be able to upgrade to the latest version of OC to try it out.


Yep, a self-healing metal.

Scientists have discovered that metal-halide perovskite, a next-generation semiconductor material, can self-heal from radiation damage in space. And this could be a game-changer for space-based solar panels and future power generation.

I find it really frustrating that people take the first attempts of disabled people to do something as an indication of whether they can do it or not, without realizing that anyone can fail when doing something for the first time just because they have never done it before. This is a huge double standard that I don't hear people talk about often for some reason. Today I saw a parent forbidding their blind child from cooking because she once accidentally spilled salt on the counter. The fact that the girl is rarely ever allowed to cook and doesn't have much experience somehow slipped their mind. Not to mention that such things can happen and do happen to literally anyone. I've also been in situations where people wouldn't let me go somewhere on my own, because they saw me get lost once. The fact that it's normal to sometimes get lost and not know the exact route if you have never been to that place before, again, slipped their mind. And God forbid if I tell them about this one time when I didn't get to the right place with Google maps. I keep being reminded of it every single time I want to go somewhere. I understand that those people are worried and everything, but damn. This only makes things worse because it's normal to learn from mistakes, and it's normal to make such mistakes. Maybe... I guess not for us.

Very good point. It's not like sighted people don't get lost, do clumsy things, drop stuff, burn food... But for them it's an incident, whereas for a disabled person it's assumed to be a permanent limitation.


We've partnered with Abside to create a groundbreaking secure communication solution for government agencies. Our Liberty phone, featuring Made in USA Electronics and running our non-Android PureOS, now integrates with Abside's N79 5G private network. The result? A fully American-made, ultra-secure platform for government personnel to communicate and access critical data on the move. Privacy, security, and performance – all in one package. #Purism #Cybersecurity #Abside

Does that mean that there is a 5g modem for the librem5 that will be available soon?

what is the status of upgrading the librem 5 pureos to crimson? has this effort been abandoned or will this be pursued?


Just got GNOME Mobile 46 built and running in @postmarketOS on my OP6, here at #GUADEC2024 in Denver, so the folks in Berlin aren't the only ones that can try it out!

Come find me at the BoFs tomorrow if you want to play with it!

Thanks @cas for the help getting it building!

Giving another talk today at GUADEC. This one’s a technical one about gobject-introspection; I’ve already presented it in Berlin and will be presenting again in Denver via the magic of betamax. I’ll be around for Q+A after.

Watching The Armageddon Factor and hubs is like “Oh. That one.” Yes. This one. #DoctorWho


Notes from Nerdsville.

Since I started watching all the classic Doctor Who espisodes in order, I've come to appreciate the quiet horror of the first Cybermen.

With minimal paraphernalia, and face coverings like bandages, they're easily the most creepy, evoking the sort of body horror their increasingly shiny descendants have lost. The weird, elongated pronunciation adds to the effect.

Bill Potts transforms into one of these monsters in The Doctor Fails.

I agree. I've always found the voices of those earlier Cybermen to be far more horrifying. Some of the later ones almost sound like they're enjoying themselves; listen to them in Earthshock and the Five Doctors.


Did you know? The menu theme for the old Monkey Business audio game is a MIDI file called rastamon from Passport Designs. Here's my attempt at replicating the render of the file that appears in the game. As played on the S-YXG50 VSTi, with the 2 mb ROM and XGLite enabled. Thanks to @pitermach for the initial discovery.

This coming Friday, July 26th, is the one year birthday of a major accessibility issue in documentation for website developers being pointed out, and little has been done.

Let's put it to bed without birthday cake.

Brain cancer has removed my ability to help, but I hope it's possible. If you've written HTML or CSS take the time to read over the issue, this is important.

Boosts appreciated 💜

TIL that a twitch streamer and youtuber by the name of Masayoshi decided to test something out on his livestream a year ago telling people in chat to type “im 12” and, long story short over 100 twitch accounts were perma banned for “being underage” thanks to twitch’s bots thinking that were underage
