Facebook employees have recently been wondering if perhaps Facebook—which lets politicians lie in ads, festers with extremist movements like QAnon, and by
In 2019, of course, he was giving out a different lie about how Facebook was founded to promote free speech. Then, it was because he wanted people to have a voice protesting about the Iraq war. It's amazing how often Zuck just outright lies.
Like they could have made this a "let's get the decentralized social web funded" thing and actually put money and resources towards making ATproto and ActivityPub interoperable. Could have funded Mastodon development (or the development of a new ActivityPub platform). But they just wanna funnel money into one protocol claiming that that will somehow "save" things. tldr.nettime.org/@tante/113822…
Dunno, something about the "FreeOurFeeds" campaign is off. (https://freeourfeeds.com/)
It's basically trying to raise money for AT Proto so "the community" can standardize the thing and "build stuff" and they wanna run a second "relay" (which is the…
On a whim when Christmas shopping I bought a tea towel with lovely illustrations depicting the full moons of 2025. Though now I have my ‘fancy tea towel dilemma’ of whether to use, display or keep safe in a drawer. Of course I totally forgot about it until realising that tonight was the first full moon of the year.
It’s too cloudy here to see the Stay Home moon, aka Wolf Moon or Moon after Yule, so enjoy this photo of the tea towel instead!
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
the updated RB apps are a lot more than the RB apps in general. Is this a pattern, that frequently or rather recently updated apps are much more likely to be RB?
Eep, just 2 days to raise $34k to meet our match challenge - we've been working so hard this year with great results.... did you see our recent news about the AVM enforcement action? Check out the OpenWrt One? Hear about the DMCA exemptions we secured? Heard the success stories of our @outreachy alums? Played with a source candidate on Use the Source? Not only is that just some of our recent work but there's more news coming soon!
Software freedom is critical to many of today’s most pressing social issues, but it’s only effective when FOSS is for everyone. Support Conservancy today to help make that happen!
#ČT24 má na webu "Evropský pohled," kde publikuje české překlady zahraničních médií začleněných v EBU.
Bohužel se zdá, že ty překlady nikdo nekoriguje, takže třeba v tomhle článku (který se dost záhadně načítá pomocí JS window.location.replace()🤔) je vlastní jméno Christian přeložené jako 'křesťanství.' 🙄
Když se Chris Brönimann těsně před přelomem tisíciletí stal Nadiou, celé Švýcarsko to fascinovaně sledovalo. Nyní se nejznámější transsexuál v zemi veřejně potýká s lítostí nad touto volbou. Není to příběh o vykoupení, ale o prosbě po probuzení.
Die Welt ist voller Messenger und gefühlt nutzen die allermeisten #WhatsApp, #Telegram oder #Signal.
Alle haben ihre individuellen Vor- und Nachteile und wer sich dann noch die die üblichen Sicherheitsseiten anschaut, z.B. @kuketzblog , wird schnell feststellen: Es gibt nicht DEN einen Messenger, den alle gut finden.
Warum ich unter den verfügbaren Alternativen neben @signalapp @matrix nutze, habe ich hier zusammengefasst:
Dieser Server dient uns als eine Informations- bzw. Austauschs-Plattform für alle Menschen, die sich konstruktiv und kreativ mit den Themen FreeBSD, LINUX, IT-Sicherheit und allgemeinen Netzwerkthemen befassen und austauschen möchten.
I woke up this morning to a slew of text messages pointing me towards an article on Vulture about Neil Gaiman. Most of the messages were people saying they were sorry they didn’t believe me in the early 90s when I first started warning people that he was a “missing stair”, a fake feminist, and a dangerous man in a closed room. I’m so fucking tired of being Cassandra. I warned you people. Over and over. Nobody fucking believed me. It was a large part of why I walked away from a career in that industry.
Trigger warning: this article is brutal. I wish I had not read it unprepared. This is very much a strap on your protective armor and maybe plan on quiet time, read. It is nightmare fuel. It probably still won’t be enough for him to see any real consequences.
(Archive link to avoid paywall, I support Vulture, but this story needs to be widely disseminated.)
"It’s not really enjoyable to make music now… it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument... I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music."
I thought i should re-share a picture of the Red Tin since I moved servers. This is my dj ing system built into a red metal toolbox. It has an intel NUC dual booting Windows and Ubuntu at its core and midi controller powered by an Arduino. Here it is running Mixxx. It also runs Traktor

Die Besonderheit: wir suchen eine(n) Windows-Admin, der/die offen genug ist, sich mit uns auf eine Reise hin zu einer „open source company“ zu machen. Sprich Stück für Stück Windows-Dienste in Richtung Linux zu migrieren.
Det där bör väl vara Realtidkärnan som är relativt nysläppt? "The odd offer appeared in his weekly state-of-the-kernel post, which on Sunday US time informed the Linux world that release candidate (rc) seven for version 6.13 of the Linux kernel “is slightly bigger than normal, but considering the timing, it's pretty much where I would have expected, and nothing really stands out.”"
#Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 6 Weeks—Forget Chrome And #Android
Long story short is that Google has made updates to its advertising ecosystem essentially _permitting_ the fingerprinting of devices for use in targeted advertising. In their words they are going to be “less prescriptive with partners in how they target and measure ads.”
Doesn’t mean fingerprinting wasn’t happening before, just that Google is giving the green signal to the rest of the ecosystem to do so… and will likely use this to maybe replace third-party cookies.
Vamos a ver, es cierto que la imputación del fiscal general huele a prevaricación y lawfare que tira para atrás, pero no puede ser. No en esta España radical y rotundamente democrática, ¿no?
De esa premisa parte @gerardotc en su último Tecetipo. La conclusión es que, si no está prevaricando, lo que ocurre es que el Tribunal Supremo ha dado con "un agujero negro nunca antes detectado en el cual la línea espaciotemporal no funciona como pensábamos hasta hoy". ctxt.es/es/20250101/Firmas/483…
La línea espacio-tiempo debe de haberse girado. De lo contrario sería imposible que el Tribunal Supremo pudiera mantener imputado a un tipo por desvelar un secreto cuando ese secreto ya había sido desvelado

New hardcore #PDF rendering performance benchmark for #Poppler: "Jesus Christ it's a #Lyon (map), get in the car!"
That map takes 26 seconds to render with Poppler on #Linux, but only 6 seconds with PDFjs, or 15 seconds with XPDF: gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler…
I've profiled the issue on the various Poppler rendering backends, and there are some hypotheses about the slowness. If anyone can help fix this, that would be fantastic.
Hi! I have encountered a single-page PDF file that takes a very long time (over 25 seconds on my old desktop workstation) to render with any Poppler-based PDF...
first let's put this out of the way: is Popple build with Boost? The Splash backend has a major performance hit if it is not build with boost, and some packagers still think they know better disabling boost.
Tenhle týden se zaučuju na zástup kolegy. Jeho trasa vede přes Pernink, Abertamy a Horní Blatnou až do Potůčků. Kochala jsem se zasněženou krajinou a horskými chaloupkami, ale nejvíc mě okouzlila ta zvláštní kulatá duha, kterou jsem nikdy předtím neviděla... Je to halový jev a vzniká lomem/ohybem/odrazem slunečních paprsků na padajících drobných ledových krystalkách, kdybyste to jako já nevěděli 🤗 #kudyjezdimtudyfotim
