Migrating from @gajim apt to flatpak release. Do this so you don't loose encryption and history.
Migrate your data
When switching to Flatpak you might want to migrate your user data (accounts, history, ...) from your previous installation. Just copy your user data from/to the following directories:
Copy ~/.local/share/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/data/gajim
Copy ~/.config/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/config/gajim

Massive E-Learning Platform #Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen #AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.
Udemy will train generative AI on classes developed/users contributed on its site. It is opt-out (meaning, everyone was already opted in) with a time window... and opting out may "affect course visibility and potential earnings."
Udemy's reason for the opt-out window was reportedly because removing data from LLMs is hard. IMO, that would be the reason for making it opt-in, but here we are...

question for people who rely on screen readers: what is a good way of notating "hey the next block of text is very unfriendly to screen readers, and only useful if you need my gpg key" succinctly?
"Poslanec Huliak sa po skončení politickej debaty O 5 minút 12 prevrátil na stoličke a spadol na zem. Video bolo zdieľané na internete."
Ten primitív menom Huliak teraz žiada ospravedlnenie za to že spadol zo stoličky svojou vinou kde pred ním sedeli desiatky ak nie stovky hostí. Za čo? Za to že je tučný ako "..." a neohrabaný?
Ako sa zábery dostali na verejnosť? Tak ako unikajú informácie z policajného vyšetrovania o všetkom. Slovensko.
I sometimes get the question why I'm not allowing anonymous contributions to #OpenStreetMap via #MapComplete .
I've gotten the question again today, so I decided to write down why I'm not adding nor planning
this: github.com/pietervdvn/MapCompl…
if it helps to blame the OSMF ;), there's the historical precedent of editors that used proxy accounts getting blocked. Wheelmap gets a free pass mostly because it focuses on one tag and hasn't attracted complaints.
Is that new SSO code that Microsoft contributed useful for MapComplete?
I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).

"This issue has been opened for more than 6 years now, with no clear roadmap or even real consideration from the Tuta team. I have to say, I am disappointed.
You keep saying that "[...] Tuta [is] the most secure email service on the market.", but without key verification, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted emails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipients' public key. As explained by @llebout, "all users of Tutanota must trust Tutanota to not provide forged keys and perform an MITM attack". This is a significant flaw in the technical design of the platform, and it does not seem to bother you.
In #198, it can be read that:

However, your post-quantum implementation has now landed but still no word on the key verification issue.

I also didn’t mention the huge CSA (child sexual abuse) material problem on the Fediverse in our server-shutdown blogpost. Mostly because my exposure to that stuff happened in the early days of me doing moderator work here and after we had blocked most of the frequent offender servers it faded pretty quickly. But I’ve seen some messed up things that I’d rather forget.
But yeah, it’s a huge problem and I don’t think there’s been much progress other than blocking users or entire instances, which inly hides this material from most people (which is still useful) but doesn’t reduce it at all.
Ultimately you can never fully prevent this kind of material being shared between people but the structure of the Fediverse and ActivityPub as a protocol make it particularly easy to create ever new nodes in the network that spread this stuff around.
I tried to sign up for a covid vaccine on ClicSante to see what would happen and got a message saying:
La campagne de vaccination contre la COVID-19 et la grippe est en cours. Les personnes faisant partie des groupes plus à risque et celles qui les côtoient sont invitées à prendre rendez-vous dès maintenant afin de recevoir le(s) vaccin(s) rapidement.La prise de rendez-vous pour la population générale débutera le 16 octobre 2024.
@Foodiekenobi@mstdn.ca I think you were the one trying to figure out when they would start offering it here. It turns out the answer is October 16.
what we do is we go to the vaccination center close to us and walk-in.... as they do walk-in
(Square Decarie for the location)
1. You can now press the Context Menu key (or Shift+F10) on a post. ALT+Windows+F10 is still available but this makes it easier for users.
2. If you enter a conversation by pressing Enter, you can now close it by pressing Escape.
3. Enhancements to pictures:
When focused on a post, it is still possible to press Control+Windows+I to scan an image, but the following is recommended:
A. Open up the post containing the image by pressing Enter.
B. Scan the image by pressing Control+Windows+I. This will now give you the more lengthy explanation using two AI services.
C. Press Escape so as to return to the post you have opened.
D. Press Escape again to return to the timeline.
If this procedure is followed, you will not lose your place in the timeline.
Re-reading "The McRib As Arbitrage" in light of the entire no work from home, return to office push, and I find myself genuinly wondering how much labor exists - how many _companies exist_, even - primarily to serve as a utility function for corporate real-estate arbitrage.
I cannot tell you how grotesque this is, the idea that this might be real utility of so many jobs, bullshit or otherwise.
But there are a lot of bullshit jobs out there.
And....
I think I'm going to double down on this.
Companies that are forcing return-to-office aren't doing that to better fulfill their corporate mission. By clinging to antiquated ideas of what management does and what leadership is these companies have allowed themselves to be co-opted into propping up failing corporate real estate arbitrage schemes. That's it, that's the whole story.
