Something I've thought about for awhile on the fediverse... I know many people would like to see quote posts implemented like on Twitter, but I wish discussions about this were less focused on the specific affordances of twitter.
I really like tumblr-style reblogs, because they have one key difference: the original poster's post comes *first*. A quote post privileges the quoter's position, and lets them influence how you'll read the quoted post. A reblog has you read the original post first.
Buenos días, fedi, y en particular residentes en las Españas.
Hoy se abre la convocatoria de becas de Colegios del Mundo Unido (CMU en español, UWC en inglés). Se trata de becas para estudiantes que estén cursando ahora 4º de ESO o 1º de Bachillerato, para cursar durante dos años el Bachillerator Internacional en uno de los 18 colegios internacionales, repartidos por todos los continentes, de la organización.
Yo estudié en el de Noruega (UWC Red Cross Nordic College) y además de una oportunidad única fue una experiencia inolvidable. Si conocéis a alguna persona en situación de solicitar estas becas y con inquietudes e interés por conocer otras culturas y asumir estar 2 años fuera estudiando en inglés, por favor hacédselo llegar.
Tenéis más información en: es.uwc.org/
Impulsos bienvenidos y agradecidos.
While we're still not moving as fast as I'd like with Circle reviews, I'm happy that we managed to get 6 new apps accepted during the 47 cycle 🥳
By the way, the Circle committee is always looking for new reviewers. If you're somewhat familiar with GNOME app development practices and design patterns and would like to help, please get in touch :)
@MapComplete btw, I got "yelled at" on OSM for adding a lot of images of menus in restaurants using MapComplete.
One of the reasons cited was not having a license for taking image of the menu and another was some restaurants not wanting to publish their prices on the internet.
While I don't agree with either of these arguments it might be useful to add a hint about asking restaurant staff about publishing these images.
I'd be very curious about opinions on the topic in any case!
#OSM
Well, that sucks!
I'm not particularly worried about copyright, because:
- Often, there is very little creative work involved in creating a menu, thus copyright does not apply
- As restaurant, you do have create and have to publicly publish your menu in your normal operations, so database rights don't apply as well
- At last, the picture is actually saved on imgur. As such, they will get the takedown request ;)
I think there can be pretty designs on menus, so copyright can apply there I feel
I agree with the other points though, we don't worry about copyright infringement on wikidata either, that is handled on their side!

Hi, all.
I realize this is a far cry from my usual posts, but I'm desperately trying to find work, as I know are so many others.
I don't have a wide range of interests, but anything that will make my CV more interesting is a plus, so I'm on the hunt for a potential list of free and accredited online courses.
If anyone knows where I can find something like this, please please let me know. I'll do anything to fill my time if it feels within reach of my current skillset, and hopefully that skillset can slowly expand as a result.
Anything helps. Thank you in advance.
Deque university offers accessibility testing courses, and they're free if you're disabled.
No geographic restrictions or proof of disability necessary, as far as I know.
Public space belongs to everyone.

While rebuilding Akira in Rust, I've been exploring other design language libraries on top of GTK, and I always end up going back to their stylesheet and libgranite widgets

The European mind cannot comprehend this:
“The University of California just announced a list of military weaponry it wants in order to escalate its warfare on its students:
3000 rounds of pepper munitions
500 rounds of 40mm impact munitions
12 drones
9 grenade launchers
Read the full list here: regents.universityofcalifornia… “
I upgraded #GNOME #Calls to #gtk4 + #libadwaita for fun. It's now released in v47.0! Should be available soon in your #LinuxMobile distribution of choice 🚀
Massive thanks to @devrtz, @agx, @brainblasted, and Maximiliano for putting up with my beginner-level GTK skills!
