Mastodon Arch byl aktualizován na verzi 4.3.1 a asi mě někdo slyšel a opravil roztažení pokročilého webového rozhraní do stran :-)

Fix 4 columns barely not fitting on 1920px screen (#32361 by @ClearlyClaire)
in reply to Fred Brooker

@fredbrooker Já vím jsem na to koukal, proto jsem měl radost hned v prvním tootu.




We just released Mastodon 4.3.1!

It contains some bug fixes and a few small features, like (optional) grouping of follow notifications and improvements the fediverse:creator setup instructions.

Upgrading requires re-compiling frontend assets (if not using Docker), instructions are in the release notes : github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r…

Our latest productivity blog is out - and it was inspired by one of @RL_Dane's many Thunderbird tips, tricks, and hacks! If you're fighting against an overflowing inbox, and don't know where to start, the 'Grouped by Sort' view can help.

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

On that note, I couldn't find a way to do "group by sender, sort by count" in Thunderbird. It's one of the main reasons I use a fork now.
in reply to Qazm

@Qazm
Ooo, that would be a neat feature request! I can see how that would be helpful in sorting out a really out-of-control inbox, like my 20-year-old gmail account. XD

@Qazm That would be a great request! We'd be really grateful if you felt like posting it to Mozilla Connect! connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/i…

@stepan já HE používám, ale evidentně to bylo používané spamerama a botama a tak google a cloudflare omezují služby nebo musí klikat Captchu. Nevím zda na to existuje řešení

@fersman jo, captchu klikám taky, hlavně u recaptcha od google, ale myslel jsem, že je to tím, že nejsem přihlášen ke googlu.

Víc mě trápí netflix. Má mou IP zařazenou jako německou a tak střídavě hází obsah pro CZ a DE podle toho přes kterou IP přistoupí. A často najdu obsah, přehrávám a když se k tomu vrátím později, není pro můj region dostupný. Prostě furt lítám mezi DE a CZ.
Nepomohlo vyházet na dns resolveru ipv6 záznamy pro netflix servery. Asi jsem nepochytal všechny domény.



Not enough people are talking about the incredible work that @firefox is doing with PDFs. I can now edit text, highlight, add images, and interact with pretty much every PDF I get without issues.
I still remember just a few years back when the sentence "without Adobe Acrobat there's nothing you can do" was the norm.
in reply to Aleca

Is it also possible to edit PDF pages like adding, removing or sorting slides?

This is the PDF feature I miss the most, since I moved alway from MacOS.

in reply to Fello Mello

@fello I don't think so, at least not yet.
I'm sure if you open a feature request they might consider it

Is there a good portable asynchronous filesystem access crate for Rust yet? (I'm aware of a number of crates that use blocking filesystem operations from threads, and that's not at all what I mean. I want to issue large numbers of requests from few threads so the I/O scheduler can sort them out.)

(Thanks, POSIX, for assuming that disks are infinitely fast. 🙄)

Why is Linux OOM-panic a thing? This strikes me as the thing that it's most important for a system NOT to do.
in reply to Ben Cox

Linux OOM management lately has been... sorry I lack nice words to describe it truth-fully.

I think "Windows like" is kinda close, while still vague.

@cJ the Government should send it pre-filled forms with whatever the fuck they got from the various reports (employer, financial instituation)

I should NOT have to copy my T4 and R1 into a form when they already have that info.

And then log into their system and adjust it.

Like many European countries do.

Oh I'm with you, just trying to get some traction on the best solution I could come up with for that horrible problem.

I pretty much don't have any interest in the Steam Deck (besides of size) for the fact that the APU in there is starting to really show it’s age. Now there are more competition in the handheld with more powerful APUs at the expense of using a little bit more power.

The Radeon 890m really makes the Deck look more out of date as it has performance close to a Radeon 470/570 or a GTX 1060. Not to mention, we are seeing more games that are unplayable on the Deck or won't play well, and the lack of USB 4 support to use an eGPU doesn't help. After all, this is a computer
in a console form factor, and PC games are rarely optimized well.

That said, I would like to see an SoC using ARM with Radeon graphics, it would improve battery life, but x86-64 emulation on ARM64 is another story, but it’s possible given what Asahi Linux can do playing games from Steam using Proton.

Want to build a thriving tech company? Easy! Just ignore user complaints, double down on those privacy-violating features everyone hates, and exploit user data to the max. That's the winning formula, right? 🤡
in reply to nixCraft 🐧

Forget innovation, user experience, and ethical considerations. In today's tech world, the fastest route to the top is questionable practices. Who needs happy users when you have soaring stock prices? It's a proven business model!


Congratulations to the people of Moldova and to you, Maia Sandu.

[Forum Topic] VoiceOver users wanted to test hack of Infocom's Journey applevis.com/forum/app-develop…


Got the videos from my aerobatic flight. Unfortunately, they had issues with the intercom audio so you can’t hear me and the pilot. Still getting the video audio described though. I will post it once I have that. The company has offered me a very cheap flight in their other aircraft to make up for it though.


The dominant narrative is that electric vehicles are heavily subsidised. In fact, it's fossil fuel cars that are still heavily subsidised in key European markets. Removing fossil fuel subsidies also means less spending on electric vehicles to compensate for this unjustified advantage.

in reply to Jaap Burger

Excuse me, I don't get it.
I mean benefit-in-kind, depreciation write-offs, and VAT deductions are applicable to both the company EVs and combustion engine company cars. Naming this subsidy is factually incorrect. Using factually incorrect arguments is usually sign there are not enough of valid arguments. I believe this should not be the case, so why?

I didn’t really follow all the news around iOS 18. Can someone tell me about any serious bugs it has if it does, and whether it's worth upgrading now or if I should wait a bit?
in reply to Malia Suhr

@MS26 Oh that doesn't sound good. I guess I'll wait then because my battery is bad enough already lol.
in reply to Mariia Sydoruk

@MS26 I didn’t find this to be the case, but a lot of people do. I wonder if phone model matters.
in reply to Malia Suhr

@MS26 Hmm. Interesting that that’s happening. I tried 18 on a 12 pro max and a second generation SE and it didn’t seem that bad. Did you try all the usual stuff, restarts, redownloading VoiceOver voices, restoring from backup.u
in reply to aaron

@fireborn @MS26 for whatever its worth, if you use voice dream a lot, try killing it from app switcher instead of pausing. It does something weird and doesn't close audio sessions properly. This definitely impacts battery life of your bluetooth headphones, but I wouldn't be surprised if it also affects the phone itself.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki @fireborn No it's not VoiceDream, I use it sometimes but not enough for it to be the problem.
in reply to Mariia Sydoruk

@MS26 I had a 15 pro max, but I did also try 18 on a 12 pro max and second gen SE
in reply to aaron

@fireborn I didn't try all of that, no. The speed issue is better now, it just randomly has moments where it totally freezes up and spazzes out. Mainly in the trivia crack and lyft apps where it never used to do that before.

Ad hoc eine These zum Liveblogging mit Hashtags auf Konferenzen: diese Praxis ist (bis auf ganz randständige Nischen-Öffentlichkeiten) eingeschlafen.

Ich sitze hier gerade bei einer seit Monaten ausgebuchten Tagung mit +100 Teilnehmenden, vorwiegend professionell in der Medienbildung (!) unterwegs, aus ganz Deutschland.

Und jetzt kommt's: dieses Event hat keinen Hashtag. Es findet live quasi nicht statt auf Twitter, Bluesky, Insta, Facebook, aber natürlich auch nicht hier im Fediverse.

I can't say I'm happy the way I am. This would be a false statement. However, I am pretty sure that suddenly having sight, having never had it before, would drive me crazy.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox We talked about that with my wife and daughter, and yes, it would be a tough first time, probably a tough year even when you'll blindfold yourself for most of the time, you'd probably have headaches. My wife told me she would support my endeavor, might it happen one day. But the colorful world that would be available to me afterwards is worth paying this price.


Hiya, we've just done bugfix release 0.17.1 for #GoToSocial.

github.com/superseriousbusines…

Fixes a bug in the streaming API that may have been causing problems for some clients, and adds alt-text for default avatar + header images.

Updating from 0.17.0 is very simple and quick, but if you're updating from 0.16.0 or below then please read the migration notes carefully and be aware of the big database migrations from 0.17.0.

Enjoy!

I personally don't need the FSF (Free Software Foundation) or RMS (Richard Stallman) to be a Free Software person that promotes the merits of Software Freedom. Back in the days I was part of the first court case in Germany that established the GPL (v2 at the time) as a valid and enforceable license under German law. We won that case without needing any help from the FSF(E). I have always focused on ideas, never on "heroes" and personification, because people fail. Ideas are bigger than people.

I would like to buy me a good mechanical keyboard, preferably 75percent, because I like those. Anyone know anything good in Europe? Must be pretty good for typing, of course, but also for games. II am tired of my 10Eur cheap USB keyboards, so I'd like to change those to a mechanical one. Also please, something not super expensive. :D Thanks. #keyboards
