I am thinking about actually using my website and write some blog-ish stuff. Should I write in English, and add to the pile of blogspam (but with the benefit of better spell-checking), or should I go for Dutch (more original content, my native language, but spell checking is more difficult)?

PSA per Nitrokeys own documentation their security keys DO NOT use the secure element within the device. You should probably start looking for a new key.

This is a joke based on the "biblically accurate angels" meme, which depicts angels as a terrifying mass of eyes and wings; the Graphviz drawing is a terrifying tangle of nested protocols.
@jcsteh I love alt+x, z, y, 3, i, j, it's one of my favourite shortcuts!
My favourite used to be on the Layout ribbon, you had to press alt+p, then j for columns, and there was another option which began with j but you had to press alt+p, then c. They changed it now, but there are still 21 options on that ribbon (note, fewer than the number of letters in the alphabet) yet only FIVE of them use a single letter. At least the other four use the logical single letter (eg M for Margin), but J?
I needed to do a word count the other day so I did alt+T and w like it was Office 95 not 365.
@KaraLG84 @jcsteh Ironically it's keeping backward compatibility with thirty year old keystrokes whch is part of the problem. Looking at the main ribbons in Word:
Home H
Insert N (not i)
Draw JI (???)
Design G (not d)
Layout P (Not L… because Developer is?)
References S (Review is r)
Mailings M
Review R
View W (Not V)
Developer L
Help Y2 (Can’t be H because “Home” uses it)

I was reading his wikipedia article and while it's hard to tell how seriously to take it, it says:
Tate was raised Christian[139] but later became an atheist.[140] By early 2022, he identified as a Christian again, and said that he tithed £16,000 to the Romanian Orthodox Church on a monthly basis.[141][142] After a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral in October 2022, he announced on his Gettr account that he had converted to Islam.[143][144][145]

I maintain that we need a "fall guy" group in the Linux desktop space to fund, develop, and openly release stuff that would get the Internet mad at existing players, so they typically avoid doing them.
Keeping in mind the intent is to push things forward while not caring about peoples' gut reactions (because technology is more nuanced than a gut reaction!), this could include…
#Linux #OpenSource #FreeDesktop #GNOME #FDo #KDE
“AI” features, which actually means local, private ML features we’ve fallen behind on like autocorrect, grammar checking, camera quality, noise canceling… basically, ML features your phone has been able to do for 5+ years that we’ve fallen behind on.
I hate “AI,” and the current generative-AI landscape is a speculative bubble—BUT there are real features and improvements that wouldn't have been called AI before; fundraise based on the hype, implement based on actual useful local improvements.
GOOGLE WAS JUST RULED A MONOPOLY!
This wild day just got wilder! 😲
Here’s what the judge wrote:
After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
This ruling won’t just affect Google but also Apple, Amazon, Meta, and every other Big Tech company that the DOJ is going after!
Let me be blunt. After decades of not doing anything about tech monopolies, the U.S. government just showed it is not playing games!
Good.

A lot of the time our hopes for funding critical FLOSS infrastructure has been benevolent billionaires: Google or Meta or Mark Shuttleworth or whoever is supposed to pay for things to happen.
Then lately we have seen some government grant programs which are ... fine but come with strings and issues attached that I don't want to get into here. Also they tend to focus on the server side and security and whatnot.
It kinda does not scale for each individual to pay for all the projects: 1 EUR Patreon for this lib here, 5 bucks for that application there ... Things get unwieldy and expensive and leads to people not doing it at all.
Here's a dumb idea I had a few days ago while running: Set up an org that's focused on supporting FLOSS end-user apps/environments. Like browsers, maybe a Wordpress fork to get that out of the hands of the "AI" people. You can become a member with a monthly "subscription". Like your Netflix/Spotify/etc. The organization distributes funds in a transparent way with a long-term focus (easier said than done, I know). And no, you can't and shouldn't enforce this, FLOSS should also be available to people who can't pay, that is important. But by collecting like 10 or 15 bucks by a whole bunch of people you could build a bit of a fund that's not at the whim of one state, one billionaire or something.
Probably stupid.

Welcome Voyage to the selection of reproducible apps at #IzzyOnDroid – v0.10.1 coming up tomorrow just made it 
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.d…
„Voyage“ – IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository
Voyage is a lightweight nostr client for Android with a Reddit-like UI.IzzyOnDroid App Repo
eine Frage, war der Sinn hinter dem Repo nicht mal Apps aufzunehmen welche (noch) nicht in FDroids eigenem Repo vorhanden sind?
In letzter Zeit häufen sich bei mir die Apps welche in beiden vorkommen ... oder habe ich das mal falsch verstanden? :D
@Michael1 Es war einmal, vor langer Zeit… Und Dinge ändern sich. Früher habe ich Apps, die schließlich bei F-Droid verfügbar wurden, i.d.R. auch aus dem IzzyOnDroid entfernt.
"Damals" hast Du das schon richtig verstanden. Voyage (der Toot auf den Du antwortest) ist aber nicht bei F-Droid zu finden, oder habe ich nur nicht richtig geschaut?
Pushing Google onto non-Google phones, abandoning the removal of 3rd party cookies by Google, and possibly removing Google money from Firefox.
That’s how you get a Google browser monopoly on the web in three easy steps. All would be fine if Chrome wasn’t part of Google. But as it is, and Google ads are the main income, Google will now push their browser even more having no way to buy being the default.
Well done everybody!

So! Ich habe gerade WhatsApp gelöscht.
Endlich.
Zu Anfang hatte ich mich lange dagegen gewehrt, dort überhaupt zu sein, fand die Möglichkeit der Sprachnachrichten aber toll. Die gibt es aber nun mittlerweile auch bei Signal.
Abgesehen davon finde es gut, dass immer mehr Gruppen angelegt werden, die über Signal laufen. Es tut sich was.
Nur eine Freundin konnte ich nicht überzeugen, mit zu Signal zu kommen, schade.
Großer Vorteil von beidem für mich: Nicht an eine Telefon-Nr und Smartphone gebunden.
Mir sagen Leute, bei WhatsApp müssten sie eh sein. Einen weiteren Messenger (Signal) sähen sie nicht ein.
Kannste nix machen.
Mein neues Telefon kann auch RCS, den Nachfolger der SMS. Vielleicht ist das ganze Messenger-Drama damit eines Tages eh vorbei.
А уже есть консоль, замена башу, написанная на Расте?
