WLED Native now got entirely rid of the last proprietary components and no longer needs a separate FOSS flavor. What's more: it was just confirmed to be reproducible 🥳

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/ca.cg…

WLED - Native lets you easily and efficiently manage and control all your WLED light devices from your Android device.

Na Luik en Bergen krijgt Vlaanderen nu ook eindelijk een werk van Santiago Calatrava! Zie hier zijn laatste creatie voor De Lijn!


Stocard is going away (becoming Klarna). I've been using stocard without an account (ie: all local) and it's been fine. The data is all on my phone, no account in the cloud.. but they push 'promotions' and stuff.. but mostly the app does what I need with minimal intrusion.

Well - the only migration path is to get an account and move over.. yuck

I found the brilliant: catima.app/

Thank you @SylvieLorxu for your amazing work!

LOL. I guess I am one lucky terrible human, because we learned the most extended, oldest braille version you could think of. Guess how hard this is to find correctly working nowadays. Like, people dismiss it. Bleh.

Coming soon, menovite zajtra (mi) bude horúco, a to aj v Nízkych Tatrách. Budem totiž rečniť ako účastník panelu s potmehúdskym názvom Nebojte sa “GRCu"!
Vidíme sa s niekym?

My wife's last name is also a man's name & it's written on our shopping bag. We moved to a small town & supermarket cashier called me by that name. I said, "No, that's my partner's name." She was supportive & not wanting to appear homophobic, I'm now the town gay man.

I hope you wrote "200" on it. The existing approximately 500 is a bad omen


Moja nová doktorka sídli v nemocnici na Kramároch, po dlhej dobe som bol u doktora kvôli chorobe (nie bitke haha vtip) a nejak to na mňa doľahlo. Neviem či som bol niekedy pred tým na Kramároch.

Nechcem byť starý a zatrpknutý, starý môžem ale nie nahnevaný na svet. Toto to vo mne zanechalo.

A must-have #blind survival phrase list for people learning a new language:

1. I can't see the lights on the modem.
2. No, you're not walking too fast.
3. That's interesting, but I don't know your cousin's friend.

in reply to James Scholes

@cachondo My personal additions: 1. No, I don't need the elevator, the stairs / the escalator is fine. 2. I'll be happy to take your elbow, this way you're guiding me, not the other way round. 3. Learning all the numbers and the million ways some of them might be confused with others.

I'm a sucker for a sapphic fantasy. To the point I'll read even otherwise fairly mediocre books if they execute that one element particularly well.
in reply to Hrefna (DHC)

any light recs in comic form?

my list of novels to read is too long for the amount of reading I can get done but I can always pick up a new (web)comic somehow.

Thanks to those of you who have followed me. I've left this site and am giving BlueSky a whirl: dawnofmercy.bsky.social. Hope to see you there!
in reply to Dawn Eden Goldstein

I respect your choice to leave but I'm still sorry to see you go. This platform never seems to have enough Catholics.


Debian Junior is now available with live weekly builds, check out an amazing focused Pure Blend that caters to a younger audience. lists.debian.org/debian-jr/202…
in reply to Debian

my son ran an old thinkpad with Debian Jr for many years of his younger life.

We still talk about some of the games included in it.

I've seen posts on here regarding people deleting their X account. One thing that I'd like to caution you regarding this is the potential consequences of doing this if your handle is closely associated with your name or brand. In my case, once @DavidGoldfield becomes available, anyone can claim that account and use it as they wish. It's a bit like allowing a Web domain to expire which is associated with your name, brand or company.
in reply to Martin from Toronto

@mcourcel There's actually a Civil War historian named David Goldfield (no relation to me.) Not sure if he's on X or what his handle is. If he ever lectures in my area, I plan to meet him and introduce myself.


I completely understand why error messages are so dumbed down - don't want to frighten the users. However, at least put a 'more information' button so that the support staff can actually have a hope in hell of trying to fix something so nondescript as 'An error occurred!'

Takže do postele a odpočívat! Prý ' nepovedal' 😂 Ty jsi trumpeta taky.

I've seen at least three unconnected people on my home timeline publicly talk about deleting their Twitter account. Did something happen with it today that's particularly horrifying? If I can find or create a utility to get my tweets into a readable format, I'm not at all opposed to joining the fun.

@nlnet just announced four accepted NGI proposals within the EU Mobifree project which we are a small part of.
social.nlnet.nl/@nlnet/statuse…

Happy to see fosstodon.org/@termux
nlnet.nl/project/OpenAGPS/
lambdanative.org/
and nlnet.nl/project/ATL/
receive funding.

Don't you prefer the @EUCommission to fund a thousand of such wonderful infrastructural and diverse FOSS projects instead of throwing more money after AI things, only amounting to a drop in the giant AI money ocean, anyway?


Four projects will receive grants to contribute to the NGI @mobifree pilot. Many thanks to all four teams for contributing to a fair, open and privacy-friendly mobile software ecosystem.
@termux Android terminal app and software distro/run-time
OpenAGPS: Privacy-friendly, self-hostable location service
Android Translation Layer: Run Android apps on Linux

Does anyone know if the slack app for PC is accessible? For that matter, what about mac?

Have not tried mac, but pc it works. If you are a #jaws user better get the scripts, #nvda it works.


Beginning to believe that @Gargron doesn't want me contributing to #mastodon — he's now partially recreated three of my pull requests that I've worked on.

My PRs didn't ship because I needed feedback from the team who were busy.

Like, I'm happy to spend the time and money to contribute to Mastodon, but it's horrifically rude to just redo someone's work when they've put a tonne of work into doing something.

He's also done this to me in the past in 2018 with the report management tools.




I'm glad I got out of Microsoft. wheresyoured.at/the-cult-of-mi…

When I was there (mid 2017 to late 2020), "growth mindset" was a thing we heard about sometimes, like at new employee orientation and from the executives, but at least on my team (Windows accessibility), I didn't see it being used against employees. Perhaps the Windows org didn't see the worst of it. But now they're encouraging employees to use Copilot to fill out their Connects (reviews), and managers are using it to summarize them.



This morning for no obvious reason, I remembered the Fuel Rats.

Elite:Dangerous is an MMO space sim game, with a big galaxy in which you fly a spaceship doing stuff. Spaceships need fuel, which you buy at stations, or if you have a fuel scoop you can skim the surface of certain stars to get usable fuel.

Space is big though, and it's quite possible to run yourself low on fuel in a way that you can no longer warp to any inhabited system to refuel. At which point you're screwed.

Hello. Thought I’d post here.

I’m a fan of #startrek #DoctorWho and #vinylrecords

I would appreciate a follow from people interested in these things.

in reply to James Cromarty

Pleased to meet you. I've been a fan of #DoctorWho for nearly 40 years. I enjoy #StarTrek, as well, but haven't watched any Trek in a while as DW has taken up a lot of my time.
