#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.
The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️

„Chcete naznačit, že jsem nudnej?“ Hřib vysvětluje, jak chce zachránit Piráty
Zdeněk Hřib se stal novým lídrem Pirátské strany. Před sebou má těžký úkol: zastavit klesající trend preferencí a dostat stranu opět do Sněmovny. Sám se nechystá být lídrem do Poslanecké sněmovny a ani tam neplánuje kandidovat.Prokop Vodrážka (Deník N)
I'm most of the way into my first experience with Talk Description to Me co-hosted by @ChristineMalec (Episode 126 - A Trip to the Fair) and it's honestly delightful to have on while I'm weekend working. Can def say check that one out if you're also looking for something to listen to x
K dnešnímu celostátnímu fóru Pirátů mám jednu myšlenku.
Poslouchal jsem zhruba 40 minut poté, co byl zvolen předsedou Zdeněk Hřib. Na pořadu bylo „snížení byrokratické zátěže a převedení pravomocí pod jiné subjekty ve straně, nejčastěji vedení“.
Korektně zaznívaly argumenty pro i proti. Zdeněk Hřib argumentoval, že centralizace moci je ve snaze urychlit procesy ve straně - že je to žádoucí i ze strany voličů, neboť příští volby prý projedou.

This account recently turned two years old. I'm one of the many emigrees from Twitter that started to dabble with Mastodon in November 2022 in the wake of the Musk take over.
My account on Twitter isn't *that* old either, only starting in early 2022. I had long thought to close my account there when reaching 1000 followers here (I have almost 3000 on Twitter), but this consideration changed recently after Mark Nelson convinced me during the Luxembourg pro-nuclear event two weeks ago.
I'll first observe that my followerbase has been growing much slower than I first anticipated and perhaps hoped. I just hit 650 and this has several causes. One is that people on Mastodon perhaps just don't care, following degrowth logics. Maybe my style of posting also doesn't 'connect', but most importantly, I think, is that the mass adoption of Mastodon and the wider fediverse hasn't happened yet.
Many that tried Mastodon in the November 2022 wave, weren't prepared that they needed to put in some work to get a filled timeline, due to a lack of algorithm serving as an onboarding mechanism. Most people just don't care and rejoined Twitter/X or, later, Threads.
This mass adoption can still happen, probably via the route of Threads fully implementing ActivityPub (still pending after 1.5 year...). Either way, Mastodon et al are still a very safe bet if we look further into the future. It can only grow on the long term, say a decade.
But for now, the 'Twitter bubble' regarding accounts posting on energy, politicians, journalists, even many people on the far left don't care about setting up shop on the fediverse... yet. As an activist aiming to influence to get nuclear energy wider adoption, this is a hindrance to my primary function of caring at all about social media.
For now, I'll remain on Twitter, be it that I'll post more 'strategically', in line with my goals. The fediverse is still my long term bet. We just started this journey, on towards a future of an open web!
Do you like psych in tech and want to see it more valued? Some suggestions for folks in tech that have helped me directly:
- if you have presence in org-legible places, post about our work in places our bosses see it, like linkedin (I know, I know 😭 ). It can be as simple as "loved this! [link]" boom!
- we're often judged on engagement numbers (I know 😭). Post things like our preprints (osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/qz43…) in community groups, or employee channels. Who knows maybe you'll find friends!

I've used #Firefox as my primary browser for as long as I can remember. I stuck with it when its performance was comparatively dreadful, and when its performance with my screen reader was worse, because I agreed with Mozilla's ethos.w3c.social
Yes, it’s true that 54% of US adults struggle with reading, although the grade level equivalence is a dubious inference. I study this, so I want to share a few insights: namely that this trend isn’t unique to the US and better understanding the data has more implications than you may realize. /1

Ok, first off I do consider you a nerd, you're a research scientist, how much nerdier does it get? I was generalising and, perhaps, not using language precisely enough.
I do agree that there are values in conflict, hence my point that treating text like that has problems as well. I just get the feeling that there are a lot of people on the fedi with experiences like what I described, could be wrong about this and it could be something else; it would be interesting to know. I do hope that you are welcome here, and, as I said, I do try to adapt to my interlocutor's interaction style and I think we should all try to be mindful of this if possible.
And regarding whether the "social indifference" is omnidirectional, for myself, I can't see avatars (not a metaphor, I'm blind) and most of the time I have no real expectations of the gender or other physical characteristics of people. But I'm also convinced that you're right people get treated differently according to those sorts of factors. I hope the fedi becomes more welcoming in this regard.

I recently finished reading "The Rule Book: The Building Blocks of Games" by Jaakko Stenros and Markus Montola (2024). You can find the open access version on the MIT Press website: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262547444…
It’s an altogether great introduction to what rules in games and play are and how they work. Just very good all around!
