Tuta's (@Tutanota) new calendar app for Android and iOS is here:
Great news, @nlnet will fund my FOSS projects @foss_warn and @foss_public_alert_server. This allows me to make #FOSSWarn a much bigger project than I initially imagined.
With the funding from nlnet, I will build the FOSS Public Alert Server (together with @VolkerKrause) and integrate it into FOSS Warn. That means FOSS Warn will not only get real push notifications via #unifiedPush but will also support way more countries than now.
I’m really excited about that possibility. 🚀
If only @Tutanota could provide an email alias service, like DuckDuckGo emails or SimpleLogin by Proton...it would be awesome.
DuckDuckGo aliases is free and unlimited, but after the terrible experience with Skiff, I'm scared of these "free" services. How long it will be sustainable for Duck?
And Proton is just too expensive. The Mail Plus plan gives only 10 aliases, which is not in line with my need. The Unlimited is too much for me.
If only Tuta would provide that too..
Thanks for your feedback. You can create 15 aliases using our domains, and if you have added a custom domain to your account you can create unlimited aliases.
We are considering how to introduce a similar aliasing feature for future release.

1. Start the process from your phone and choose to pay by ACH, as it's the cheapest option.
2. Despite having deposited money to your US account in the past, Wise will ask you to verify by entering your credentials into Plaid. Verify that this is okay and press continue.
3. Take note that the Plaid page does not list RBC bank (U.S.) as one of the available banks. Search for a few other common terms like "royal bank". Ultimately come up empty handed.
4. Return to the Wise app. Press the "continue" button again to launch the website again.
5. Return to the Wise app one more time. The app will display a message that says "Having trouble linking your bank? Try again another way."
6. On the next page that comes up, use screen recognition to double-tap the search field because a normal double-tap does not work.
7. Type RBC. Find "RBC Bank (U.S.).
8. Type in your login credentials and press "Login".
9. Wait approximately 5 minutes to see if the "Loading" indicators change to "Loaded" indicators.
10. Log into Wise on the computer and repeat steps 1 through 9.
11. Wait another five minutes just for good measure.
12. When the "Could not verify payment information" error appears, press "Try another payment method".
13. Note that "Debit Card" is the only payment method which is instant, and is cheaper than any of the other payment methods aside from ACH. Select it.
14. Realize that your card expired a few months ago and you never wrote down the information for the new card.
15. Try to take a picture of the card and run it through several incarnations of GPT, only to discover all of them will describe the card in glorious detail but none of them will transcribe the number, for security reasons.
16. Call an Aira agent and have them e-mail the card details, for insecurity reasons.
17. After disconnecting from the agent, note that the agent in question has forgotten to include the new expiration date.
18. Go back to your chat with GPT. "Surely you can transcribe just the expiration date, right? I Have the other information. It's four fracking numbers." "No, I can't do that for security reasons. Yes, I can see your card number and you can't. Neener neener."
19. Spitefully mark the answer as not helpful before remembering that the Access AI feature has a "Verify with Agent" button.
20. Read the response from the agent which informs you that the card you are holding has expired. Realize you may have never received a new card at all.
21. Scream, silently.

9 Google employees were arrested and two dozen were fired after an occupation of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office demanded the tech giant withdraw from Project Nimbus, an AI project to help streamline the operations of Israel's genocidal military.

The only thing that feels more “independent” from this circle of overlapping benefits is lower-arm concentration exercises. It also doesn’t help me day-to-day that much.
The Internet lied to me about forearm exercises: opening jars hasn’t gotten any easier. I think my dainty hands are a bigger bottleneck than forearm strength. I still rely on a flat-head screwdriver to weaken the seal.
A complex and challenging case in accommodations, accessibility and creating healthy, respectful and effective inclusive workplaces.
For all of interested and engaged in accessibility and disability inclusion rights, it will be important and to follow this one through the legal processes.

> AI and Tooling Support: It’s worth noting that AI tools are intimately familiar with Next.js and not so much with htmx, due to the lack of open-source training data.
A risk with "AI" for coding I’ve talked about is that it's trained on legacy code so it's going to be a conservative force in software dev, driving people to use outdated but popular approaches. This is the first time I've seen that happen in the wild
Yep Mozilla did bend the knee....
Improving online advertising through product and infrastructure
"The system is designed such that humans don’t have access to individual data. The outputs are aggregated and anonymized, then Anonym destroys the individual data."
I have no words.
"Mozilla is going to be more active in digital advertising."
"we do this fully acknowledging our expanded focus on online advertising won’t be embraced by everyone in our community" - blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/im…
I appreciate Mozilla laying their intent out explicitly with no room for interpretation or guesswork.
Personally, I think this is not just a huge misstep, but a deathknell.
It didn't make anything easier though. Every webdev I knew showed little to no critical thinking, and just went where the hype is, so they started developing on Chrome because of the marketing saying it was the hip new thing. Nobody questioned it, or did any sort of critical study or comparison.
It's true IE was garbo.
💯
History repeating. It happened with Internet Explorer before. But everyone seems to forget.
I have been calling Chrome the "New Internet Explorer" for a reason.
