Du denkst: „Ich finde meine Wahlbenachrichtigung nicht mehr.“ – Kein Problem!
Einfach mit dem Ausweis im Wahllokal vorbei, wir finden dich schon.
Und wenn du dein Wahllokal nicht kennst: Komm trotzdem irgendwo im Wahlkreis vorbei, wir finden deins dank Adresse.
products should come with information about energy and water consumption used in its production.
XX Liters of water and ZZ megawatts were used in the production of e. g. the simple bottle of water. or these sneakers. or this very forgettable AI image.
in the case of AI it should come with a warning that using and defending AI will make you look really stupid and irresponsible.
In der Anwendung von freier, offener und wirtschaftlich fair betriebener Software sehen die Lukis eine praktische Verbindung zur #Freiheit des Evangeliums und vieler Narrative biblischer Texte.
Das war auch an diesem @luki@kirche.social Wochenende im Theologischen Seminar Herborn wieder zu spüren.
Ganz praktisch ging es z.B. um #GNUTaler, /e/OS, digitales in Kirchengemeinden, #Grist, #Matrix und Bots, #DeltaChat, #ElementX und die Server-Admin bei @hostsharing@geno.social
Die Location war ünrigens einzigartig

Hey #matrixconf. I'm conducting a research study about how users experience interoperable messaging, e.g., via @matrix bridges, between different matrix clients, @onbeeper and mainstream apps, etc.
I'm looking for *users* that are NOT involved in the development of these clients/platforms.
If you know anybody that fits this criteria, could you invite them to get in touch with me for a ~30 minutes interview? My email is cfg@cs.aau.dk. Thank you!!

They stole my voice with AI
Elecrow—an electronics company that makes Pi and ESP accessories—used an AI voice for multiple tutorial series which sounds _almost exactly_ like me.
I never consented to have my voice used to promote Elecrow's products.
@matrix ARe there any recordings of day 1 of the conference? The videos at:
2024.matrix.org/watch/
Only seem to show Saturdays talks, not Fridays.
Would be even more awesome to see them on #Peertube.
All the session videos will be online in the next ~week or so, and one of our speakers will be generously mirroring them on PeerTube here: video.innovationhub-act.org/c/…
And we look forward to rolling out our own official PeerTube channel before MatrixConf 2025!

About the mass layoff at fly.io last month, which I just learned about (see my last boost, gts.thewordnerd.info/@nolan/st…), I don't know what to make of this except that they must have recklessly tried to grow too fast. Anyway, it makes me much less inclined to use this infrastructure provider, especially since a friend was one of the ones laid off.
Well, that's a first. Today I was part of a mass layoff at fly.io.I guess the only consolation, if you can in fact call it that, is that most of my team seems to have gotten laid off too, including my manager. So it didn't have anything to do with me.
Still processing everything, but I was planning on leaving Texas next year and this definitely messes with those plans.
I'm not anywhere near dire financial straights, so there's that, but as someone with a severe disability I'm used to exploitative employment situations, and Fly wasn't that, so I don't know where I'll look next if I want to avoid the "hire disabled folks because they're desperate" trap.
Gonna keep breathing, taking it one day at a time. That's all I can do right now.
From a Mailing List:
As some of you may already know, System76 is working on their new Linux graphical interface, the COSMIC desktop. They have created a form with some questions related to accessibility. If anyone is interested in participating in the survey, please access the address below:

Well, not the happiest intro but I’l cut/paste this here while I still remember then add a proper intro spoons allowing..⬇️
Please #boost and share to other platforms spoons allowing.
Seems I’m desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the article below is me.
My story: thecanary.co/global/world-anal…
More info on how to help:: buymeacoffee.com/halcionandon/…
I’ve tried every level of government and they simply won’t help. Please ask people if they have a spare room or somewhere to go. Maybe you have somewhere?
Is anybody a #DisabilityAdvocate? #SocialWorker? Need help.
Please don’t give me contacts for domestic violence orgs. They don’t help disabled people with housing & only offer counselling. Also, that list of disability advocates going around for #Melbourne #Australia (where I am) is outdated - there aren’t any in my catchment. So I’m looking for volunteers with some background.

Very pleased with the news that iOS on the newer phones will use JPEG XL instead of HEIF.
Now we wait for the chrome team to change course and for image optimizers and CDNs to support and process JPEG XL images.
one of my regrets is when i wrote that article on stylometric fingerprinting. i should have waited to get better at stylometric mimicry and focused on how i did that to improve anonymity and make it harder to connect alts (a bunch of custom vale.sh rules to remove style and conform to a boring technical style, then reintroducing a target’s style). instead i kind of spawned this community of people interested in using it for forensics.
i know they’ll see this post but idc at this point lmao
on the other hand, LLM slop awareness has created more bad stylometric analysts than any blog post of mine ever could.
“this was clearly written by an LLM because it uses [very common vocabulary preferences]!”
There are clear tells, and LLMs like ChatGPT do have a set of (cringeworthy) emergent loose style guides, but I usually don’t rely on this sort of thing. I don’t have a linguistics background. I can claim to be good at fingerprinting avoidance but actual fingerprinting is too error prone.
They have shown a consistent commitment to accessibility in their apps, and if you needed support, they always provided detailed blind-friendly instructions.
It appears the company is now out of business. People updating their iPhones this weekend are finding the app is not being pushed to their new phones. That's because it is no longer in the App Store. My research indicates that they've not been answering emails for some time, and there are records of bankruptcy filings for some of their country-specific companies.
If you want the app to continue working and you use iOs, you may be able to use an app called iMazing to copy it from your old iPhone to your computer, then copy it from your computer to your new iPhone. But if this works at all, it may be temporary, because at some point one would expect their cloud services to stop working as well once the bills aren't paid, and then the products will be useless.
Such a pity.
I don't run a BT Speak Pro, but I do develop hardware based on the CM4. An internal temperature of 50 C is faintly warm, but not much to worry about.
By comparison, an almost completely idle Raspberry Pi 5 on my desk is sitting at 54 C.
There are ways to reduce thermal activity, but they might affect the BT Speak Pro's usability
turning off cores is the big one.
Seriously, I'd check with Blazie if they think this could cause problems. You're not hitting thermal problems at the moment, and you might find the device becomes slow or unresponsive
“You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.”
When people call you a “snowflake” just remember they're quoting Fight Club.
Fight Club.
A satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized. And that Tyler Durden isn't the hero but a personification of the main character's mental illness.
His “snowflake” speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people.
