@mike The other thing I couldn't find on the status page was how to contact you - I was happy just leaving it and coming back to check if it was working a couple of hours later - but of course I was hoping you DID in fact know about it, but didn't have a way to contact you to be sure - especially as the status page was telling me it WAS working - which is probably unusual in itself

"Privacy respecting ads"

「 Shortly after, balenaEtcher started displaying ads. Although we didn't like that, we initially didn't view it as a significant privacy risk and had no better alternative at the time.

However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties 」

Hopefully the government keeps collecting these statistics. Here is a good summary of the 2024 state of employment in the U.S. for people with disabilities. The unemployment rate is just one number that needs to improve. Labor force participation also needs sizable improvement. bls.gov/news.release/disabl.nr…

To the developers having their apps at #IzzyOnDroid – our download #statistics now also have a break-down by client, if you want to see which of the F-Droid clients people use to get/update your app: codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iodst…

For those who may or may not know, I have my music up on tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com…. This month happens to be my birthmonth, and it would mean a lot to me if folx picked up some of my music. And if you like the song but wish it were in a different key, or faster, or had different instrumentation, all purchases of my music come with customization rights, and you can contact me here or via bandcamp if you want a modified version.

Dear conference organisers,

Please stop hosting your events in Texas (yes, even Austin).

It's become far too dangerous for a lot of people to attend the event, and many of the rest of us will avoid it to support our besieged LGBTQA+ colleagues.

I thought that my browser extensions were protecting me from most ad-related delays but I just tried nextdns.io on my phone and everything is noticably faster.
I don't know whether it'll eventually cause problems but so far I haven't noticed any new bugs on my usual news sites.
I think it's like PiHole as a service.

I know this is just the normal #Trump garbage, but it’s important to remember the ramifications. If he says something like people at #DOE didn’t show up for work, ridiculous as that assertion is on its face, many people will accept it as gospel fact. As a result, the pernicious myth that federal employees are all lazy louts who don’t deserve their paychecks and are hardly working as opposed to working hard stays ingrained in the psyche of society. threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/…

As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.

We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.

Great video! I just feel the whole thing has been very poorly communicated. What @ryanleesipes is doing here Mozilla should have been doing from the very beginning. We're a fairly big Firefox redistributor and there has been no communication towards us. And it does make people nervous here.

BTW is there any particular reason why the video is only 720p on PeerTube and 1080p on YouTube?

This study explores using Spatial Audio, musical cues, and audio descriptions to enhance the video game experience and to make it accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. The study included a mix of participants with and without visual impairments. The feedback highlighted the importance of accessible keyboard controls and sounds that convey character movement and object location. #accessibility journals-sol.sbc.org.br/index.…

@Friendica Support wäre das nicht auch für Friendica noch sinnvoll?
Ich hab so viele Konversationen, wo mir Teile des Threads fehlen, weil ich mit den Kommentatoren nicht in einem Follow-Verhältnis stehe...


Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…)

I had to learn a lot about parliamentary government when studying for Canadian citizenship so I have all the passion of the recently-converted but I think we're all getting a lesson on which is the superior* approach right now.

*Not perfect, of course. And I'm still holding my breath for the Canadian election.

Are you doing something cool with GTK or the GNOME application development platform? Do you want to talk about it in front of the GNOME community? Then you have until March 16 to submit a talk proposal for GUADEC 2025!
