finally figured out why @mozilla's rejection of the #fediverse is bothering me so much: i had no idea mozilla.social was open to the public. i thought it was only for their employees.
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/m…
so am even angrier because this "experiment" was bullshit.
if i, one of the most eager early adopters of tech on the planet didn't get that mozilla.social was open to everyone, then it's their fault millions didn't flock to the platform.

Want to use a cheap eSIM plan but don't have an eSIM compatible phone?
Try an eSIM adapter! These nifty cards are basically removable eUICCs that you can provision eSIM profiles onto.
The one I'm recommending uses an open source app to manage profiles. The app in question is OpenEUICC, a fully open-souce LPAd implementation for Android. Other eSIM adapters use proprietary, closed source apps and require account sign-ups.
More details can be found in this article: androidauthority.com/esim-adap…
Experts widely criticise Chat Control e.g. for attacking #E2EE, IT-security and violating (European) fundamental rights.
The #GlobalEncryptionCoalition now warns that the Hungarian proposal fails to resolve the problems of the regulation and calls on governments to reject it:

New presidency, same unacceptable #CSAR proposal: The 🇭🇺 Presidency still seeks to impose a system of mandatory scanning of online communications with intrusive technologies that undermine security and threaten fundamental rights.
With the Global Encryption Coalition, we call for the continued protection of our privacy & strong encryption 👇

Sensibly named contacts also aid in sharing with others, access for emergency services etc.
Nickname field means you can call people what you want without changing who they actually are.
I have family that do the ICE thing, family that put full names in the first name box, and that make separate contacts for different numbers or even email addresses.
While of course you should be free to manage contacts how you want, the inefficiencies and legacies of using SIM cards to store name-number pairs persist widely.
My colleagues @gpiccoli and André Almeida will attend the Linux Kernel Recipes 2024 in Paris, between the 23rd and the 25th of September. Make sure to talk to him if you are interested in what Igalia works on that is related to the Linux kernel and general OS development.

As much as we fight the EU Commission's push for #chatcontrol, we applaud the EU for protecting users' #privacy with the #GDPR.
It's about time the #EU Commission reflects on European values and increases data protection, not undermining it. ✊

Have you ever wondered how your personal data is being used to power AI models?
The European Union is shining a light on this very question with its investigation into Google's PaLM2 model.

The Access Text Network (a US platform where some publishers share accessible PDFs of their books on demand to authorized users) has gradually been coming back online after it collapsed this spring as a result of some kind of disagreement between Georgia Tech and the Association of American Publishers.🤔
My work was only granted access to the new AccessText today, and the collection has to be built back up over time book by book.

A week ago, in spite of all her campaign promises to defend the rights of Mexico's sexual diversities, President-Elect Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the terf Renata Turrent will be the new director of the public television station Canal Once. In response, over 100 queer, antiracist and abortion rights organizations and nearly 400 individuals have signed this statement calling for her dismissal. @reclaimingtrans and @thatweirdolee have been kind enough to host the English translation
For public television and radio and free media that truly represent the diversity and dignity of all people!

I guess there weren't enough users? In any case, this seems like a weird thing to do, given that X is a mess and we need open alternatives supported by companies…

TFW the mouse cursor freezes and my first thought "it's my regular AMDGPU crash happening" and then realise it's just the mouse battery....
That's how much unreliable shit mess with your brain.
We have two AMD GPUs here without any problems, both are in machines running Fedora 40 (although one is 41 now).
I do know someone else who has been struggling with GPU crashes on AMD (happens to be embedded) and it's been consistently crashing with trying to view VP9 videos on YouTube (specifically shorts loading, not even playing).
There are a few workarounds, but the best seems to be the H264ify browser extension. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…
