A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the past …
so yeah, the ladybird dev is boosting conspiracy theories and claiming he's been instructed to participate in "reverse racism" against white men as an exec, and how he was "scared to rock the boat".
if you weren't convinced that he's just an asshole by his "pronouns are political" statements before, then yeah.. here's him diving even deeper into this garbage.
it's always the same. starts with "pronouns and genders are political" and devolves into this kind of stuff. this is basically him saying he believes in white replacement theory.
With the Polish EU Council Presidency, we will challenge current uncertainties and build a stronger, united Europe for all.
To achieve that, Poland will focus on:
⬜Defence and security 🟥Protection of people and borders ⬜Resistance to foreign interference and disinformation 🟥Ensuring security and freedom of business ⬜Energy transition 🟥Competitive and resilient agriculture ⬜Health security
From 1 January to 30 June 2025, it is Poland's turn for the second time to hold the presidency of the Council of the European Union. This kind of chairmanship involves a range of tasks.
Jak na Nový rok, tak po celý rok, jsem si říkal včera a díky dobré radě a pěknému počasí jsem sešel z cesty a vydal se do polí (Dnes jsem novoročnímu předsevzetí ještě nedostál).

I was randomly checking when I have to renew my subscription plan to @Tutanota.
I was surprised to see that @Tutanota quietly raised their prices from 36 €/yr to 39.99 €/yr for the Revolutionary plan and 96 €/yr to 99,99 €/yr for the Legend plan.
👉🏼 I have been doing some testing and have noticed when navigating links on iOS using VoiceOver (VO), if the link contains an element that is not exposed as a generic element it causes VO to treat and announce text in the link as separate links.
Samsung has announced its 2025 lineup of gaming and productivity monitors. New products include the Odyssey G8, G6, Odyssey 3D, Smart Monitor M9, and ViewFinity S8.
philips monitorokat nézted már? Szerintem elég jók, bár nekem a sima iphone se lagol, meg a 60 fps hiánya sem zavar, szóval így értsd, hogy szerintem jó :)
I think everyone who has an opinion, positive or negative, about LLMs, should read how @simon summed up what’s happened in the space this year. He’s the most credible, most independent, most honest, and most technically fluent person watching the space. simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/…

i actually think it's *over*rated as an element, mainly because of how crappily it's exposed by screen readers (with some exceptions) ... been pondering a small article of my own in the coming weeks on this
TL;DR: Description list support continues to be generally good (with VoiceOver still the outlier), even if you may not like how it is supported. For background, the
Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.
FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.
You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).
Currently supported countries include: Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands – with many more regions coming soon!
FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.
Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today: fedimeteo.com
Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️
FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.
FediMeteo brings real-time weather updates to the Fediverse, covering cities across multiple countries. Explore country-specific weather forecasts and RSS feeds.
We were so focused on hospitality and making tea at #38C3 that we kinda forgot to ask for financial support... Only 2 donation boxes were scattered in corners of the House of Tea. 😞
As a result we got 250€ in donations (versus 1000+ last year!) 💸
So, IF you remember ever looking for a donation box during #38C3 and could'nt find one... OR if you enjoyed your time at the House of Tea AND can afford a small financial contribution:
If you're a fan of experimental / unique impulse responses, I found a site that might interest you. It's a listing of various IR archives made by a guy named Fokke van Saane. It was last updated september 2nd 2004 so navigating through the site can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely worth exploring. Link: fokkie.home.xs4all.nl/IR.htm
We are heading towards completion of another milestone 😃
Thanks to @VishnuSanal, #Prav is on Google Play Store now. It requires a 2-week testing period before being open to public downloads. Right now, only authorized testers can test it.
If you are interested in testing, please share your Gmail address with us.
On the other hand, the app is free to download from #Fdroid. Please remember that the service is still in public beta.
My favorite NVDA add-on, BrowserNav, received a few neat updates over the past few days. Among other things, it can now read or copy the page URL when NVDA+L is pressed once and twice, and it can import and export websites and bookmarks. Kudos to MLTony for his awesome work with a good number of useful NVDA add-ons. github.com/mltony/nvda-browser… @NVAccess #Accessibility #NVDA

Want to try a new distributor ? Nothing to setup, you just need to open the app and grant the requested permissions. It follows the last version of the UnifiedPush specifications: Sunup !
Most of the applications supporting UnifiedPush should work without any issue. But a few may break, so if one doesn't work, let us know: the application may not be following the last specifications.
Regarding Matrix, a workaround has been implemented until webpush is supported by their specifications. Element-X has a patch going on to fix the default gateway (but Schildinext works), all other clients already supporting UnifiedPush should work
And to make finding, installing and updating easier, Sunup will become available at #IzzyOnDroid with the next sync around 7 pm. Congrats @unifiedpush – it has the "green shield up", meaning it's reproducible
But if you could get rid of that DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK (a binary blob), that would be great. Easy to do, reach out to us for instructions, which do not fit into a toot – but wait, there are attachments, right? So for your build.gradle, see screenshot.
@IzzyOnDroid There is one thing I'm not sure about that frosting chunk. It looks like a signed field used by playstore and other anti-virus to control the legitimacy of the application. I don't know how efficient it is but removing that may make the app more "suspicious" for their detecting tools
Wouldn't it be better to control that chunk's content instead of removing it ? If you prefer, we can use a matrix chan for this
@S1m who's talking about Frosting? That's something entirely different, and your APK is not affected by that. I was only talking about dependencyInfo (DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK is a binary representation of that, encrypted with a Google key so it cannot be verified, see e.g. android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…). How did you get the idea about Frosting? @unifiedpush
Nachdem der Library-Scanner nun seit mehreren Jahren im IzzyOnDroid Repo im Einsatz ist war es an der Zeit, einige zusätzliche APK-Prüfungen zu etablieren.
A file structure is a whole fascinating world with its own history, mysteries and a home-grown circus of freaks, where workarounds are applied liberally. If you dig deeper into it, you can discover…
@S1m Ah yeah, F-Droid still links to that article about frosting. We've told them multiple times that's something different. They prefer keeping the link, can't be helped… @unifiedpush
@S1m @IzzyOnDroid No one but Google can verify nothing is hidden in there as it's encrypted.
You'd have to audit the code that generates it as well as all the inputs and then verify you get an exact match, since you cannot look at the data from the block itself: it's a completely opaque encrypted binary blob (which means it's not exactly FOSS either).
But there are plenty of places to hide something; e.g. F-Droid would not catch this at all since they only flag a handful of specific blocks instead of anything unexpected: github.com/obfusk/sigblock-cod…
@S1m @IzzyOnDroid Unfortunately, being reproducible doesn't help here since that requires copying the signature to get a bitwise identical APK. So it fundamentally cannot prevent anything being hidden in the signature data itself, only in the rest of the APK.
@S1m @IzzyOnDroid Can you, practically? Being sure would require auditing the source code of the app *and all its dependencies*. And keep doing that when anything is updated. And you'd still be none the wiser if e.g. *some other app* (or even the OS or something else) uses the block instead of the app using its own.
@obfusk @S1m "some other app": IIRC, we evaluated that case even. Every app can read every APK installed on the device, so that would be the practical multi-channel thing: Put something into the signing block of one app, use it from another.
@IzzyOnDroid Nevertheless, this block is about the dependency list, so its absence may be used to flag potentially suspicious app, don't you think ? I wonder if there isn't another way to simply control that blob
Contains the per-release bundled sources to the Android Gradle Plugin, useful for general Android development and pointing to open Google issues. - jrodbx/agp-sources
@S1m Nobody but Google can read it. So if you're afraid it would be used to flag your app, that could only be done by Google, where you upload the AAB I guess. As we only take the APK, you could leave the blob in with the AAB then. @unifiedpush
Sunup is an easy way to use UnifiedPush that does not require an account.

@IzzyOnDroid I've never really looked into IzzyOnDroid repo, that's pretty cool :)
I'd love to use your repository with an option to filter only "FOSS and RB apps" (or even with target SDK>XX). I think all the metadata required is there, so that must be a client thing to be implemented
I now have some questions 😄
Is it worth adding NextPush and UP-Example to your repo ? 3 MB each, but they are already in the main F-Droid repo
What do you think about adding an open search xml to the repo ?
I also wonder if I can use some of your scripts to maintain a minimal f-droid repo (See this, codeberg.org/s1m/my-fdroid-rep… but it is broken right now, because of an outdated dependency in F-Droid container), I am not sure how what the different scripts do. Do you have documentation about how things run ?
@S1m Full answer gets too long for a 500 char toot… Yes, client support is planned (Droid-ify & NeoStore, we work together there). Yes, I can add the other two apps (no prob with the overlap). Be welcome to open an issue for OpenSearch, though I'm not sure when we'll find time for it. And "simple repo setup" is on our todo as well. You might wish to take a look at github.com/obfusk/apkrepotool for an fdroidserver replacement for simple repos (just maintain the index, no build etc).
@S1m UP-Example is also RB and prepared for the next sync. Fastlane lacks an icon.png there, I locally added the one from app/src/main/ic-launcher-playstore.png (you can simply copy that to fastlane). I only picked the "main" variant; if you want the other one with IoD as well let me know, but then we should have a separate fastlane tree for it, see gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/… for "official locations" (for IoD, any location does, just no symlinks yet).

Nemyslím. Za mě voják nemá na postu prezidenta co dělat. Ale ze dvou "velký špatný" se těžko vybírá.
Vezměte si, že i 35 let po revoluci se o post prezidenta "poprali" dva komunisti.
To jsme se moc daleko nedostali...
