Evening mastofolks.
Well, this is a sad reality check of the state of affairs in this world. Cuts to the welfare system are afoot, so it's imperative the below petition gets as many signatures as possible, and this post as many boosts as possible too, so that we say a resounding no to any more cruel cutbacks.

@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…

("_unknown" are all other user-agents, including browsers, crawlers and whats-nots)

Find instructions (with some commands on how to extract those data for your app) in the Readme there.

Once more, thanks to @nlnet making this possible with the Mobifree grant! 😍

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/…
