Periodic reminder: nearly all of the browsers except Firefox and Safari are RESKINNED GOOGLE CHROME with somebody else's interests, cloud service integration, shitcoin, whatever tacked on. Using them is no better than using Chrome, and does not get you out of a surveillance/no-autonomy/monoculture hellscape.
Only Firefox has real privacy preserving adtech blocking and other critical features.
We must fight for it when its stewards fail us.
seeing pushback against procedural generation as a result of alleged "AI" and that's really fucking sad
good procedural generation is hard. good procedural generation is bespoke and intentional. good procedural generation is artistic and creative. please don't lump it in with the slop generated through machine learning 😞
EDIT: procgen is not AI, it's a 40+ year old game design technique, see: peoplemaking.games/@eniko/1131…

Nach dem Update auf 24.04 sind einfach alle Mails und Einstellungen weg. Es gibt keinen automatisch Import während des Updates.
Ich konnte das Problem damals glücklicherweise schnell lösen, weil das Profil natürlich nicht gelöscht war.
Ich habe darüber gebloggt und bekomme inzwischen fast täglich dankbare Kommentare, weil verzweifelte Anwender*innen ihre Mails retten konnten.

System-Thunderbird: $HOME/.thunderbird
snap-Thunderbird: $HOME/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird
Durch Rüberkopieren sind die alten Einstellungen, Mails, Termine etc. wieder da.
Funktioniert übrigens analog auch bei der Migration von Windows.

Kurzes update:
Eben das ubuntu upgrade auf 24.4.1 auf einer Maschine gemacht.
Thunderbird hat sich mit dem ersten Start ohne weiteres Zutun die Daten aus dem alten Verzeichnis geholt.
Oops. My code now makes 20% of curl.
I'll need to bring that up in my next therapy session. Surely this is connected to my childhood somehow. 😳
@bitbear 1. the script that generates the list of the top-40 authors as a CSV: github.com/curl/stats/blob/mas…

#FOSDEM will happen on 2025-02-01 and 2025-02-02, we just signed the contract with ULB today!
You're hearing it here first, because Mastodon is the #FLOSS social network. We'll publish official news in a bit :)

1. Cancelled my 1Password account. I was only evaluating it and I prefer Bitwarden myself.
2. Had a long conversation with someone on my Apple Watch. It worked a treat. She could hear me fine and I could also hear her voice and JAWS over the watch clearly enough.
3. For practice, created some markdown documents on my BrailleSense and asked ChatGPT to convert them to Word. Lovely accessible Word documents containing tables and headings. It cannot handle footnotes properly though.
the python-docx library doesn't directly support adding proper footnotes as in Microsoft Word. So what it did was simulated the appearance of a footnote by inserting a superscript reference number in the text and adding the footnote at the end of the document. That is not the same thing at all.
4. Tried to create a JAWS notification rule so as to remove the "star star" characters from ChatGPT and CoPilot. That hasn't worked out quite right. I think that may be a JAWS issue rather than me.
5. Talked to some people on X.
6. Processed plenty of Email.
So a good morning all in all.
I have zero confidence left in Mozilla's leadership. In fact, here's a bold prediction: the Thunderbird team (operating under the wholly owned subsidiary known as MZLA) will be more profitable within 5 years than Mozilla Corporation. Yes, that same dying product Mozilla abandoned in 2012. The one the COMMUNITY kept alive and the one that is now thriving.
Eventually Mozilla will approach MZLA begging them to come back...
(Note that I'm saying this as someone no longer employed there.)
One of the weirdest disconnects happened a few months ago when I received a Mozilla Foundation newsletter about the evils of big corporations building unethical AI. It was a donation appeal so they could gear up to "fight" against companies like OpenAI.
This doesn't seem strange until you consider that Mozilla is currently paying a ChatGPT Enterprise license for all ~1000 of its employees. And encouraging them to use it for productivity, brainstorming, & code.
Yea, it didn't sit well. At all.
El INE vuelve a revisar el PIB y muestra que esta subestimado. Hace una año entreviste en el programa a una de las personas que llevan años señalando y demostrando que así era: @mig_artola

“You should go to conferences!” – “Cool, where’s your COVID prevention strategy? How is your air filtered? How do you ensure CO2-levels are in check? Are masks required?” – 🦗🦗🦗 – “So, you mean I should not go to conferences. Understood.”
Get in Babkans and other fedizens, we're doing Tuesday.
This morning the landscapers are out and making noise, so I suspect I won't be getting much work done for now. Good thing I can rearrange. We have the windows open and don't want to close all of them.
Other than that, John and I have read five of the "In Death" books so far. We like the series but are taking a break for now.

The proposal to update the UnifiedPush specifications, mainly to make UnifiedPush endpoints explicitly web push endpoints with VAPID and urgency compatibility is open for review.

🪲Ok @Tusky:
seit einiger Zeit sind meine begonnenen Toots weg, wenn ich kurz die App wechsle*, zB. für Copypaste oder so.
So hab ich in der letzten Woche schon dreimal lange, geduldig formulierte Posts verloren.
* EDIT: Nur wenn ich per HOME-button aussteige. Begonnene Beiträge sollten m.E. trotzdem nicht weg sein.
Es wird ein paar Tage dauern, bis der Fix verfügbar ist, also haben Sie bitte etwas Geduld. Im Moment ist er nur in der Nachtversion enthalten, falls Sie auf diese umsteigen möchten.
Het is weer een heerlijke woensdag!
Want Els, Liezelotte en Robert openen de herberg van 14u tot 18u en bakken pannenkoeken!
Daarnaast zijn de woensdag activiteiten ook weer van de partij!

Mamute. Mám tiskárnu Canon LPB623Cdw.
Mám Linux. (Používám Arch, BTW)
Na síti jsem si tiskárnu našel, přidal a poslal testovací stránku.
Tiskárna hlásí "Čekám na tisk" ... A netiskne!
Do Bingu se mi zatím nepodařilo napsat správný dotaz.
Nevíš?
