ok this is going to be verrry interesting

the FTC has just enacted a rule declaring fake reviews, suppression of negative reviews, fake indicators of social media influence, and other similar things to be unfair or deceptive acts or practices

there are real questions around enforceablility but this could prove very helpful when it comes to holding companies accountable

You'd think so, and I sure did, but the wireless shifting systems have some pretty compelling arguments in their favor, including "you can shift gears under the heaviest loads you can put on it" and "you can _stand on the derailleur_ and it will take that abuse without misaligning or even flinching."

It's spendy, but ... man I've snapped chains and torn derailleurs _clean off_ bikes before and that looks... really good.


Why is Eagle Transmission such a big freaking deal?

This post includes recommendations for teams that are procuring websites, and I think they can be summed up as: *buy simpler problems*.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix. This is because JavaScript is the _"f-it! we'll do it live!"_ of web tech; JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.

Let browsers help!

Reckoning: Part 4 — The Way Out

JavaScript overindulgence remains an affirmative choice, no matter how hard industry 'thought leaders' gaslight us. Better is possible, but we must want it enough to put users ahead of our own interests.

@jamesbelchamber the 2024-2025 calendar says exams should end Friday Feb 1st, and the next semester starts Mon Feb 10th, so still a bit up for grabs perhaps? In 2024 it was the weekend at the end of exams (would be Feb 2+3 2025); and usually it's the first weekend of Feb, but I've also been there around Feb 24th (ok, that was 2008...archive.fosdem.org/2008/) -- and in 2016 it was the last weekend of January :-) vub.be/en/about-vub/key-data-v…

Remember when Montréal was a cosmopolitan city? Yeah, not anymore.

Remember when anglophones believed they had nothing to fear from the CAQ? Yeah, not anymore.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a city that will erase Bonjour-Hi, Bonjour-Woof, Bonjour-Meow, etc. before it deals with OTHER graffiti... OR OTHER THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC, HOUSING, ETC.

NDG residents put “Bonjour-Hi” in hot demand

The Bonjour-Hi artwork that blanketed much of NDG last month, to the delight of many residents but the chagrin of the city and borough, is becoming a hot commodity.

20 let vzpomínek na Ivana Hlinku: Vypráví Rulík, Hašek i Záruba | Hokej.cz - web českého hokeje

Trojnásobný mistr světa, kapitán Československa. Zahrál si za Vancouver, trénoval Pittsburgh. Na olympiádě bral jako hráč stříbro, jako trenér zlatou medaili. Na Ivana Hlinku se ale vzpomíná především proto, jaký byl člověk, kamarád a parťák.

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do. That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource: transactual.org.uk/medical-tra…

Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT

Welcome to the RB family, Image Toolbox 🥳

What we thought to be non-RB turned out to be just non-deterministic. Luckily we know how to deal with that in most cases, though we'd prefer Google fixing the underlying issue 😉 (and yes, there is an issue open with them)

I get introduced to a lot of (to me) new apps during your "welcome to RB family" posts. A nice side-effect ^^.

Will try this one - I used Imagepipe up to now.

Edit:
Looks like Imagepipe needs less permissions, which jumped into my eyes in Neo Store ( apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… )

Aufgemerkt!
Auf der #MakerFaire in #Hannover wird eine Studentin von mir ihren aktuellen Stand zur Erweiterung des #OpenBikeSensor präsentieren. In Zukunft soll auch die Messung von #Luftschadstoffe|n während der Fahrt mit dem #Fahrrad möglich sein, um Streckenabschnitte mit hoher Schadstoffbelastung für Radelnde zu identifizieren.

Kommt vorbei in der Niedersachsenhalle an Stand 3 - sie freut sich über Input. Am Samstag bin ich auch vor Ort.

@mastobikes_de @tubraunschweig #MakerFaireHannover

Ausstellungsplakat im Design der TU Braunschweig mit dem Titel "OpenBikeSensor 2.0: Messung von Luftschadtstoffen mit dem Fahrrad". Das Plakat untergliedert sich in 7 Kästchen mit den Überschriften "Einleitung", "Masterarbeit", "Feinstaub", "CO2", "Bauteile" & "Programmierung", "OpenBikeSensor" und "Ausblick nach der Masterarbeit".

I always kinda hated this one. I think the point to businesses is real, sure, but it’s important to note that the term “hobby” is used somewhat derisively here. Open source developers and maintainers often see their projects as contributions, not hobbies. I feel like when we accept this narrative, we’re accepting the lie that the only legitimate software is software produced by and/or produced for corporations. I’m not willing to give businesses that monopoly too.
