SNCF, you’ve lost it. Really. There wasn’t just 1 but 3 guys warning about lost luggage

WHY?

SNCF is screaming it’s short of cash. Last time I needed to go to the ticket office here at Nord the wait was AN HOUR

And you’re using money on this shit?

It's amazing to see the groupthink among dipshits.

Look at this donkey's chorus of billionaire-worshippers filling my mentions with the word "cope" over and over again, evidently in the belief that it will pierce and wound me beyond recovery.

Space, the final frontier. Our solar system is in space, right? This BBC series gets into the nitty gritty of Earth, asteroids, moons and the other planets near us. Maybe it doesn't sound like edge of your seat stuff but Brian Cox does his best to keep your attention. Cox simplifies complicated concepts while he tries to figure out how life began here while postulating about where else life could be found. BBC 2 on iPlayer.

Hey folks, finally got my resume into shape and figured I'd try to #getfedihired.

Looking for a tech job doing backend work--I can do full-stack but being #blind means I'm going to struggle more with UI. I'm proficient in #Rust, #Elixir, #Golang, #TypeScript, and a handful of other languages. I have Android experience as well, and have done fun accessibility-related projects like writing an Android screen reader from scratch or adding screen-reader-like functionality to multiple game engines.

I don't mind big tech too much but am looking to switch away to something more co-op/non-profit if possible. It'd be nice to use my tech skills for good, not just for some investor's benefit. Good work/life balance is also a must--I don't live to work, I work to live.

Here's my resume if any of this sounds intriguing. Thanks for reading and/or boosting!

For a post-canon story it's pretty good, @FreakyFwoof

Meet Gawain Robards, Auror - This is the story of a man who had lost hope in the world, in humanity, in himself. And of his unexpected means of finding it again with some subtle help from the Boy Who Lived. But who is helping whom? A new POV of the Ministry reformation after the Battle of Hogwarts, tracking Harry's rather unusual assimilation into the Auror ranks. *Post-war canon.

For our (small) master dissertation about #education (but mostly because we are interested), we are doing research about using #OpenStreetMap within #secondary education (roughly 12 - 18 years old, but with a focus on 16 - 18 years old).

The long-term goal is to create a usable #lesson where pupils go out and map using a data collection app. If you have any experience with this, would you be so kind to spend 10 minutes of your time to fill out the survey?

If I am ever going to translate "Deutsche Sagen" ("German Legends") by the Brothers Grimm, I will probably have to re-learn #Latin - they used too many Latin-language sources for this work.

I suppose my Latin teachers from back in school will have had the last laugh then after all.

Puppet

hachyderm.io/@binford2k/113308…

Perforce (Owner of Puppet since April 2022) has taken over the greatest Puppet community on Slack. This was an independent Slack that had a non-Perforce people at the helm. Perforce convinced Slack that they should own the community, and Slack removed all non-Perforce people as moderators, banned Ben Ford (Instance Owner) and transferred ownership to Perforce.

It is unclear why Perforce did this, but

hachyderm.io/@binford2k/113307…

Ben Ford speculates

Last time I talked to Perforce Legal a few weeks ago, they were excited by our “community owned community space” model. The fact that the company has now taken this subversive and hostile action makes me think that they are about to announce or do something incredibly shitty and want to have iron control over the messaging.

Puppet is currently licensed unter Apache 2.0, and has no AI-Integration nor are Puppet users absolutely required to make recurrent payments to Perforce.

So make your bets.

• Ansible is owned by IBM through RedHat (GPL v3, no CLA, DCO required)
• Chef is owned by Progress (Apache 2.0, CLA required)
• Puppet is owned by Perforce (Apache 2.0, CLA required)
• Saltstack is owned by Broadcom (Apache 2.0, CLA required)

CLA: Contributors License Agreement. If you want to submit code to the project, you have to sign a CLA that gives the respective owner company full IP rights to your contrib, enabling them to cleanly unilaterally change the project license at their discretion.

DCO: Developer Certificate of Origin. You have to submit a DCO that asserts that you have the right to contribute the code under the GPL v3 of the project.. The DCO exists to prevent your employer from sueing IBM/Ansible over your contrib, not to transfer rights to IBM/Ansible.

Hello fellow creatures!

We've finally bitten the bullet and cut version 0.17.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Selective Sloth 🎆

github.com/superseriousbusines…

As always, please read the release notes very carefully when updating, take a database backup, and don't interrupt database migrations no matter how tempted you might be to press ctrl-c. It's not wurf it mate!

Beta release announcement

This is the very first BETA RELEASE of GoToSocial. What does it mean that we're leaving alpha and entering beta? Not much really. It had to happen eventually, and now is as good a time as any to go from "people shouldn't really use this software" to "people can consider using this software but be warned it's not done yet, lots of stuff is missing, yadda yadda". Don't read too much into it!

Release highlights

• Interaction policies: This release gives you the ability to set interaction policies on your statuses using the settings panel. Interaction policies let you determine who can reply to, like, or boost your statuses. You can accept or reject interactions as you wish; accepted replies will be added to your replies collection, and unwanted replies will be dropped. This feature is still a work-in-progress as we will almost certainly have some kinks to work out in terms of implementation etc, but we wanted to get it into people's hands as quickly as possible.
  User docs here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
  Federation docs here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…
• Much wider range of support for different media types: In this release we've embedded a webassembly build of ffmpeg into the GoToSocial binary, so that users can post many different types of media than previously, including mp3, flac, and other audio types, and many more video types. Admins: you don't need to have ffmpeg installed on your server for this to work.
• Audio player: to complement the new media types, we adapted our current video player to also play audio, so people visiting your profile can play MP3s and FLACs. Album art is supported when embedded in the audio file!
• Header/avatar alt text: You can now set alt-text for your avatar + header images, so that screenreader users visiting your profile can read a description of your beautiful face.
• Better threading model for statuses: On the web view of a thread, conversations are now indented at different levels, to make it easier to see who's replying to whom.
• Prefers-reduced-motion is now supported, so that folks with animations turned off in their operating system or browser aren't confronted with lots of animation when they open your profile.
• Conversations view: You can now view a list of your direct message conversations, making it much easier to keep track of who you're talking to.
• Import/export csv files: It's now possible to import Mastodon-compatible CSV files for accounts you follow and accounts you block, making it much easier to migrate across instances. Export of these files is supported too.
• Exclusive lists: You can now mark lists as "exclusive", which means that posts from accounts in an exclusive list will show up only in that list and not in your home timeline.
• Show/hide posts on your profile: Previously only Public posts were shown on your web profile. This is still the default, but you can now choose to show unlisted posts on your web profile too (the Mastodon default), or to show no posts at all.
• Lots of new themes: solarized, brutalist, ecks pee, and more (see screenshots).
• Store worker queue on restart: when you stop the instance, pending tasks are stored into the database, and loaded again when you start up the instance, so that no tasks get lost between restarts.

Supported platforms

We've defined a list of platforms + architectures that we "officially" support and those we partially or don't support due to performance reasons or library constraints, you can check this out right here: github.com/superseriousbusines… If your platform of choice isn't on the list you can, of course, try building yourself, and maybe try the very experimental nowasm tag we recently added, if you're feeling daring: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…

Thanks

Thanks for reading and for your continued support for this silly sloth!
