Hi! I'm creating this request to be reunited with Mia, my support cat. She's been an essential part of my life for almost nine years, and due to financial constraints, I was unable to bring her with me when I immigrated from Venezuela. I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who is willing to donate and help me bring Mia back into my life. 🧡🤍🖤
Hello, my name is Oswaldo, and I'm creating this request to be reunited with Mia, my suppo… Oswaldo Bislick needs your support for Help me reunite with Mía
As of Ableton Move V1.3, released a few days ago, you can now sample from audio sent to the USB C port. This is useful enough as it is stated, I.E. you can make a sound with a synth on your Mac or PC, then instantly sample it into Move without rendering and uploading a wave file, or connecting a line input and sampling it through the Move DAC. However, for those of us who rely on accessibility, there is another hidden benefit.
Let's say you're on an airplane or something. You have an iPhone or Android with USB C, and you want to access Move Manager at move.local, so you can use the built-in web-based screen reader. Traditionally, this needs a Wi-Fi connection, but since you're on a plane, that doesn't work. The Move's USB C port also acts as an Ethernet connection, so you can theoretically just plug your phone into USB C, then open your browser and go to move.local. Yep, that works fine, except... oops, you're also a Voiceover/talkback/some other screen reader user, and audio gets routed away from the phone to absolutely nowhere... at least, that used to be the case. Now, you can select USB C in the sample mode, and it will pipe audio from whatever is sent to that port to Move's built-in speakers or the headphone jack. Thus, it's now possible for blind and visually impaired operators to use Move's screen reader when completely offline, with no way to access Wi-Fi without having to deal with a bunch of splitters, cables and mixers. I bet they didn't even think of that use-case, but I'm happy to see it.
Since sample mode doesn't talk yet, the best way I've found to make this work is to connect your device to Move's USB C port, wait until speech goes away, press sample, then click the wheel until your device starts making noise through Move's output. There are now three options that are toggled when clicking the wheel on the first item in sample mode. The default is to record from Move's mic/line-in, second is resampling, and third is USB C. The USB C option, far as I can tell, only appears when a device is connected to the USB C port.
I asked the #OpenSSL team about their new #QUIC API:
Out of curiosity: since you decided to provide a quite different API than what was once offered to you and what several QUIC stacks are already using. How did you come up with this API?
We provide some callbacks for third party QUIC stacks to use in order
to be able to reuse the OpenSSL TLS implementation in that stack. This is
essentially a thin wrapper around the same API that O...

nice. My only criticism so far is that the themes have gone. I’ve had my versions of LiO with the green theme for the last 10-15 years or so and now the themes are down ti just a couple, mostly coordinating with just the light or dark system backgrounds instead of all the various patterns and color schemes.
I’ve trashed 25 and re-installed the latest 24. As soon as my MacBook M1 Pro switched to dark mode everything went black on the page and dark on the tool/side bars and no matter what theme I tried or how I changed the colors in appearance manually, everything stayed dark, even this morning after I waited for the system to come out of dark mode LiO didn’t. I love LiO but something isn’t right with 25, at least on ARM Macs running Sequoia.
@Oiselarius Sorry to hear that! Can you please send a quick report to our QA community with a screenshot at bugs.documentfoundation.org so that they can investigate – thanks!
#Movuary day 14: The result of having a portable radio connected to Move's line-in jack is that occasionally you hit 'Sample' at a time when you can make a beat out of the resulting thing. In this case, it's an advert for an event happening on whatever date it was, between '8 till 10' and so this clip became the basis of my pointlessness.
Sorry for being less active lately; I should have used the override process earlier. It is at consensus. By the time I added it, the domain stopped resolving. It replaced the old domain on FediNuke. If it stays down, I will eventually remove it altogether.
Update: parcero.casa is back under the “ak” subdomain.
This is why I don’t usually remove dead instances until they have been dead long enough to decompose or until I have proof of the death being permanent.
Ahead of the Trump-Modi news conference we're getting word AP has been prevented from attending the event open to all White House press. It's the third consecutive day the Trump administration has punished the global wire service for not replacing 'Gulf of Mexico' with 'Gulf of America' in its dispatches.
"...a "a deeply troubling escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to punish The Associated Press for its editorial decisions." - AP Executive Editor Julie Pace
Barring AP reporters from today’s Trump-Modi news "is outrageous and a deeply disappointing escalation of an already unacceptable situation" with the White House seeking to curtail the press freedoms and punish a news outlet for not advancing the government’s preferred language. - WHCA President Eugene Daniels

Welcome to the Age of the Coward—where billion-dollar corporations crumble faster than a wet paper bag, and craven CEOs like Bob Iger and Tim Cook prove their “values” were just expensive PR stunts with an expiration date. theindex.media/this-is-the-age…
The Age of the Coward is here, where America’s most powerful corporations, once eager to preach their values, now fold like cheap umbrellas at the first gust of political wind.
I don't think the video is up yet, but I believe in this FOSDEM talk it was mentioned that the model was still something like 200MB, so that might be optimistic: fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…

🇺🇳 Some folks have asked how our efforts are going helping governments be good open source citizens as they leverage free software to provide public services.
🎉 The answer is: Things are going very well, and they're getting better every week.
📋 With 4 months until UN Open Source week, here's a current update from our UNDP team:
🇺🇳 Our UNDP digital team is taking on really meaningful and interesting work in helping countries use technology in ethical, responsible ways. And filling a bunch of #internships. Fully #remote, around the world, and flexible around individuals' schedules.
🏦 While there's a stipend, it's low. Our leadership is working hard to break a long history of unpaid internships in the #UN, but there is still a distance to go for fair pay.
The Linux App Summit (LAS) is designed to accelerate the growth of the Linux application ecosystem by bringing together everyone involved in creating a great Linux application user experience.
