One caller asked for help finding her brother. Another needed info about evacuation routes. A third worried if a nearby dam was about to burst. And many callers said "I'm just so proud of my neighbors."
Local radio in western North Carolina is a literal lifeline right now 🧵
I sometimes wonder why all the FLOSS #mahjong #games on Linux are always the boring American "mahjong solitaire" version, never the traditional "street" mahjong, which is 100x more stimulating.
It would be so cool if #GNOME's #Mahjongg game (or a derivative) had a multiplayer-like mode, the one played by uncles in the streets of Hong Kong (youtube.com/watch?v=qzcmCvOM2K…), but with the computer as opponents (like in the embedded video below, or most computer chess games)…

Este jueves/viernes/sábado voy a estar en Monterrey, en el Linux App Summit (LAS). ¿Quiién se lanza?
Privacy Browser 0.6.2 has been released.
@vibudanimsara Privacy Browser PC is based on Qt WebEngine, which is based on the Chromium's rendering engine (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), but not the GUI, plugin, or other Chromium code.
Police in Waterbury, Connecticut, were able to find a stolen Ferrari worth over half a million dollars, all thanks to a pair of Apple AirPods left behind by the vehicle's owner.
It’s been a bit quiet around here for the past few months, but we’ve been busy behind the scenes, stirring up something big. After lots of thinking, testing, and a few metaphorical cake disasters, we’ve decided to completely rewrite TweeseCake from scratch!
Why, you ask? Well, the current app is a bit like trying to ice a cake that’s crumbling—it’s unstable and tricky for us to add those tasty new features you’ve been asking for. So, we figured it’s time to start fresh and bake something better.
The new version of TweeseCake will be a whole lot more flexible (think custom sessions in the future), way more stable, and packed with extra power for all you sweet-toothed users out there. Our initial focus will be on perfecting the Mastodon session type, but trust us, this new framework will let us cook up even more awesome features in the future.
Progress is well underway, with a lot of the core framework already written. But don’t worry, the current app isn’t getting tossed out entirely; it’ll still get some updates, just fewer fancy new layers for now.
So, keep your forks ready—TweeseCake next gen is coming, and it’s going to be a slice of something special!
What you can expect:
* More flexibility (customise as much as possible).
* Translatable.
* Custom sessions (for the developers out there; note that this will come later).
* More stability (we hope!).
* Best of all, easier to maintain!

I am glad `<datalist>` saw some fixes in Safari, as spotted by @adactio adactio.com/journal/21445
However, other bugs (such as the ones I link from JAWS and Firefox) are still open as well as voice control challenges and text size issues:

So nothing likely changes in your support landscape. Yes, this still makes me sad.
Remember the broken poll() in Apple OSes? I blogged it eight years ago: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/10/11…
Can we trust poll() on macOS these days?
I always wanted a trashcan Mac Pro, so I found a 12-core one with 64GB of RAM. And, it's great, but I can't come close to stressing its memory capacity. Any ideas?
I may have to resort to desperate measures and start up a single Slack desktop instance.

Another ridiculously busy month for #postmarketOS
So much work being done by so many people! it's genuinely amazing to be a part of it. Amazing job by Pablo and @ollieparanoid on the blog post as always.
Recording of my @allsystemsgo talk
"busd: There is a new D-Bus broker in town" is already available:
FREAKING FINALLY
"Buttons are back, baby!! This piece has been 15 years in the making, more or less."
@mimsical in the WSJ on the resurgance of physical buttons for interfaces.
"Fundamentally, the problem with touch-based interfaces is that they aren’t touch-based at all, because they need us to look when using them."
Materiality and embodiment ftw.
