Few impressions from the last few days from #spiel24 in Essen.
In the two days we were there we managed to make our way through (parts of) three out of six halls.
It was a lot of fun!
Am 5.9. beschließt die FDP-Fraktion ein Papier zu Migration. Von 'Brot' oder 'Seife' steht nichts drin. fdpbt.de/beschluss/positionspa…
Am 24.9. beantragt d. AfD wörtlich "Brot, Bett und Seife" im Bundestag. Debatte am 25.9.

Am 5.10. erklärt FDP-Fraktionschef Dürr der Bild: „Künftig sollten die Leistungen für alle ausreisepflichtigen Asylbewerber aufs Bett-Seife-Brot-Minimum gekürzt werden.“ m.bild.de/politik/inland/plan-…
Die FDP kopiert 1:1 die AfD. Das ist der eigentliche Skandal.

Do you speak Croatian (hr), Breton (br), or Scottish Gaelic( gd)?
All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!

Completing the Gàidhlig translation of Thunderbird email client on Android would be a great community project. A small amount of Scottish government funding/support would help too.

"Google's latest flagship smartphone raises concerns about user privacy and security. It frequently transmits private user data to the tech giant before any app is installed. Moreover, the Cybernews research team has discovered that it potentially has remote management capabilities without user awareness or approval."
A vážně si v EU myslí, že tohle něčemu pomůže?
Vše poběží dál, jen do EU se budou dodávat ty dražší suroviny, které budou mít jakýsi certifikát, který možná něco dokazuje a možná také ne. Jen další z hřebíčků do konkurenceschopnosti Evropy. 🙁

Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!

• I [Matt Lee] want you to have a personal website and have your listening habits on your own website, not my website.

Yeah, it's been there for a while. I noticed it once when I paused before hitting the back button and heard the hint that a double tap and hold would bring up the history. Once in a great while I remember to listen for the hint to see if I can pick up something new.
I think VoiceOver does a good job with hints. For example, I like how when I'm using the braille screen input command mode.

“I've met Russell [T Davies] a few times and I absolutely adore him. He is the man that would be the boss man to say yes or no - so hopefully it's going to be yes.”

One of the themes which came through from the NVDA Satisfaction Survey earlier this year, was to improve Braille support. To help us target the most needed improvements, we have created a short survey. If you use NVDA with braille at least some of the time, please consider completing this survey.

Please also share with anyone else who may be interested.

Guess when #MapComplete started uploading pictures to our @panoramax -instance and started introducing `panoramax`-tags to the #OpenStreetMap-database...
There are 614 pictures in our instance for now.

Sam Altman believes #AI is using a trivial amount of energy.
"The energy use of AI, I think relative to the value it's creating, is quite tiny today. I don't want to minimize it too much, because it's going to go up — like we will use gigawatts over time, out of, you know, terawatts on Earth."
I guess this depends on if the energy use of small countries is trivial and if you believe Earth can sustain producing terawatts of energy indefinitely.
