Wrote up my selfish personal argument for releasing code as Open Source: if you solve a problem and then release it under an Open Source license you will never have to solve that problem again for the rest of your career!
I’m the guest for the most recent episode of the Real Python podcast with Christopher Bailey, talking about Using LLMs for Python Development. We covered a lot of other topics …

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:
Pat King is expected to serve his 90-day period of house arrest in Alberta, but his lawyer told court he has found employment at a social media company in Québec.

So now that bit.ly is showing ads, if you need a URL shortener, #lynx is decent and #accessible and easy to host. And before you tell me that we don't need URL shorteners anymore and how they're a security risk, I need them for: 1. Business cards, slides, signs, and other physical objects that need a URL. While most phones can scan QR Codes, you can't read them out loud for #blind folks. If you're doing a presentation, "scan the QR code on screen" isn't good enough. You need to have a URL that you can speak and another human can remember. Yes, NFC is a thing, but it doesn't solve that problem. 2. Places that still don't allow URLs (LinkedIn) or where long URLs are awkward to work with (text-only emails, the terminal, etc.) 3. Times (like a phone call) where I need to tell someone a URL using the noises that come from my face-parts
@FreakyFwoof My domain isn't bad. The issue is that sometimes I have to share a link to something else where I don't control the URL and it's stupidly long. So now I have go.interfree.ca. But something like go.interfree.ca/keyboard is waaaaay easier than the actual URL of the slide alt-text, even though it's not all that short.
Unfortunately Lynx doesn't seem to get any further updates anymore for now. I guess it works and will continue to work for quite a while too, if I wanted to start a new URL shortener now I'd most likely pick something that is under active development though. Its really good to know that it is accessible though, thanks.
@ToniBarth The issue is that I couldn't find anything that's under active development and met my requirements. Those being: dockerized, quick and simple, ability for only logged-in users to create urls, ability for admin to manage created urls, ability to set custom urls rather than using random ones, no disgusting click tracking.
I was actually looking for one a few months back and I'll most likely look again as soon as I get the chance to buy a shortened domain with a discount again, so i'll keep Lynx in the back of my head and will report back if I find something that might be more future-proof.
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).
Maybe it is implemented and I have not been able to find it ... but ... it is possible to add a label that identifies an application that is reproducible. It could be interesting for two reasons. 1- People when choosing an application (if they wish) can choose such applications easily over others that are not. 2- Developers could feel motivated to make their reproducible applications to have that label
@anyDr0id Ever scrolled down to the "Packages" section in our repo browser? Hover your mouse over those "green shields", click the question mark next to them for details 😉
Clients such as Droid-ify and Neo Store will support this soon™ as well. And there's apt.izzysoft.de/packages/dev.b… if you want a client to explore them right now™

Le premier ministre Justin Trudeau a annoncé ce matin le lancement du projet « Alto » qui prévoit la construction d'une ligne de trains à grande vitesse (TGV) qui reliera Québec et Toronto.
But SNCF Voyageur single handedly make people prefer flying. It's run like an airline. It has made French train something unaffordable. It incentivise give fines to travellers for just any reason. Etc.
Le train projeté relierait Montréal et Toronto en 3 h et Montréal-Québec en 1 h. Trois-Rivières, Laval, Ottawa, Peterborough et Ottawa seront aussi desservies.
wait until the photo op for the opening of the construction. Until then it's just a glossy report that might die if the fascist get elected in the next federal election
@res260 no, different country (*hint* the train operator is part of the chosen consortium). To show what's possible on this planet. And how far back it has been.

I'm now confident enough to show off my new app Chimeful 😏 Create "Chimes" that regularly remind you to take a short break, refocus on your current task or anything else that needs reminding. Chimes have individually adjustable scheduling rules. It was especially designed for people with #ADHD who tend to get lost in thought and need to be brought back to the present moment. TestFlight open now, any feedback is welcome!
I didn't think smattered was a word. Smattering or a smatter I've come across, but I don't think I've ever used smatter as a verb. thank you for teaching me something!
@cachondo I agree don’t come across it often, but I really like the verb form of it. I like the feel of it. The way it is almost, but not quite “spattered”

Folks, here it is. This is totalitarianism. US friends, if you're looking for your signal of whether or not you should start making other plans, this is the one.
