While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :
In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.
I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.
Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.
Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

'The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer.'
On his Telegram accounts, Mr Rasanen celebrates Hitler and promotes a neo-Nazi group called the Nordic Resistance Movement'
Just how sucked up is this young man,, Hitler would have had him shot for the colour of his skin.
Racist are as thick as 2 short planks
My family drove to vote for Brexit down a Welsh road paid-for by the EU, and they still thought their 98% white british population was being overrun by forreigners. You just can't fix stupid.
If they'd had a reasonable case, even if I disagreed with it, i could've gotten behind them. But they didn't, and doing things just because you're told bothers me more than most things.
Brexit.
Many of my Brothers and Sister and their partners voted Brexit because of immigrants, given one of my Sisters who voted because of immigrants has a Greek daughter in Law and 3 half Greek Grandchildren and a half Polish Grand child all living in the UK than and now, all I can say is you can't fix racists.
It broke my heart and we are still not talking.
I have a .me, because I didn't like the sound of com and I'm not a company. having my own name as a .me made perfect sense to me, but at least once a month, usually if I'm giving it out verbally, someone will add .com or .UK or something to the end of it.
Eight years ago I started collecting #curl credit screenshots, and it has grown into a pretty fun set:

Today we celebrate German Unity Day!
👉 tuta.com/blog/germany-unity-da…
On October 3rd in 1990, Germany became one, and became a truly democratic country. 🗳️
We are reminded that we can't take the freedoms we currently enjoy for granted, including privacy & the freedom of speech.
#germany #freedom #privacy #surveillance
As for this "true democracy", well.. opinions are very different even now, as they were back then, few years after the event. 🤷♀️
Wovon träumt ihr?
Wir sind nicht ein Land geworden. Und mit der AFD kämpft eine Partei darum, die Demokratie abzuschaffen und die Macht zu ergreifen!
What do you dream of?
We have not become one country. And with the AfD, a party is fighting to abolish democracy and seize power!
Queridos mastodones linuxeros con discapacidad visual ¿qué sintetizador de voz usáis en linux?
Como profe de español, he creado varias mini-apps web que confían en el sintetizador de voz. Estoy acostumbrado a los de Windows y Android-Samsung (es decir, voces de microsoft, Google y Samsung) y en Linux las voces son horribles.
Aunque mi linux (Max Linux 11, basado en Ubuntu 24) incluye Orca, las voces son mucho peores que las de Orca en Windows.

I don’t own, and have no desire to own, a specialist player like the Stream. So my Action Button plays podcasts in Castro. Double-tapping the back of the phone skips forward 30 seconds. Triple-tapping the back of the phone skips back 30 seconds. A two-finger-quadruple-tap marks the episode as played and starts playing the next one.

Let 6 minutes of James Meadway’s Macrodose (from 1:30 minutes to 7:30) eloquently walk you through:
“Our wildly complex industrial capitalist economy, developed over the last 200 years, and refined – as in the semiconductor supply chain – into systems of exceptional complexity, was built for times of environmental stability and abundant resources. Those times are now coming to an end.“
"Bier’s first hit app, TBH, was marketed to teenagers and...it 'requested address book access before actually being able to use the app'. [...] Bier’s reputation for success is built on this growth hacking technique, so I understand why he is upset."
[...]
"Apple’s solution is imperfect. But if it stops the Biers of the world from building apps which ingest wholesale the contact lists of teenagers, I find it difficult to object."
#Apple #Privacy #SocialMedia #Tech
IMO Apple's policy would have been exactly the right one, but only if it had been policy from the start.
As it stands, Apple basically took away contacts access for new apps while leaving existing apps unaffected. This is good in the short term and bad in the long term. Existing apps can make any changes they like (including changes to their privacy policies!) and it's going to be a lot harder to switch.
Do you have any experience in Python and GTK4? Do you want to help maintain an app with literally tens of users? Do you hate every web browser to the point you want to avoid it altogether?
Web Apps is the app for you (to help maintain)! I have marked a few issues as 'contribution welcome' here: codeberg.org/eyekay/webapps/is…
University is starting to keep me busier than usual, but I don't want to let it create yet another abandonware strewn in the GNOME ecosystem.
