Anyone who supports Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people is a monster. If that’s you, stop and take a moment to really let that sink in. You’re the worst of the worst. You’re the kind of fascist who would have cheered on the Holocaust.

🚨Um... New app. Turn someone in, innocent or not, get bitcoin.

I won't link.

"ICERAID is a GovFi protocol that delegates intelligence gathering and validation tasks to citizens that would otherwise be undertaken by law enforcement agencies. ICERAID rewards citizens for capturing, uploading and validating photographic evidence of 8 categories of suspected criminal activity. The more images and locations you upload and validate, the more ICERAID you earn."

New to Mastodon. I'm an amateur photographer looking to expand my reach and hone my craft.

I'll post regularly photos from my library that I think are good.

Starting out with this photo from Moonscape Overlook, Utah at sunrise.

Good. The sooner people feel the real-world impacts of Trump's policies, the sooner they might start wising up and realizing we need to send him and the rest of the MAGA crowd packing.

And just like that, Switch 2 Pre-Orders aren't happening next week and likely not at any announced price. Fantastic.

Edit: Adding source link.

The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.

Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.

Schöner Beitrag über den "goldenen Käfig" von #Microsoft: tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/digit… - wie macht ihr das, nutzt ihr die aktuelle Lage für die Planung von mehr digitaler Souveränität?
in reply to Simon Dückert

In den 2010er Jahren begann ich, eine öffentliche Einrichtung von MSOffice/ MSWindows auf LibreOffice/ ubuntu Linux umzustellen. Ca. 30 Systeme, mehrere Server, Office-Arbeitsplätze, Audio-Video-Workstations, mobile Radio-Sendeeinheiten

Der Prozess hat einige Jahre gedauert.

Wir haben dort in offenen Bereichen mit (einerseits nicht Technik/ Softwareaffinen und andereseits mit besonders Technik/ Softwareinteressierten) Menschen aller Altersgruppen vom Kleinkind bis zu Senioren gearbeitet. Der Linux-Desktop war damals schon kein Problem mehr...außer bei den besonders Schlauen, die dann sagten, bei Windows geht das aber so...🙄
Auch in einer anderen Einrichtung hab ich seit den 90igern alles auf #OpenSource aufgebaut, von Office über Server bis zu Spezialanwendungen. Einzige Ausnahmen sind bei @komin@bildung.social ein Druckertreiber zum Bedrucken von CD's, der nicht für Linux verfügbar ist und eine Sparkassenanwendung...ansonsten haben wir in den Jahrzehnten viel Lizenzkosten gespart 🙂.

Also, die Entwicklung ist doch schon lange absehbar gewesen. Wenn man jetzt erst damit anfängt...

Our team explains Thundermail and Thunderbird Pro
(what are they? why develop them?), the values behind them, and why the core desktop and mobile apps will never be behind a paywall. Read more and get the facts beneath the hype: blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/t…

Excited to hear about this. More than willing to pay for accounts, assuming it has the following features:

1) Servers hosted in a privacy-respecting country (ie. not the US) - I believe @ryanleesipes has already mentioned it will probably be Germany
2) Bring your own domain support - I believe it's been mentioned this will be a launch feature as well
3) SSO support (SAML/OIDC)

Any idea when the beta will launch?

@ggiesen Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback! Thundermail is still in early stages, and so if you've signed up for the mailing list at thundermail.com/ you're pretty much set! We're planning for some deep dive blog on each of the services, and we'll definitely be sharing those here once they're out.

Great to see @Tutanota getting a very explicit nod on @NOS news this week!

Have to say, so far, still very happy with my switch away from gsuite to your services!

I've used Thunderbird and its previous incarnations back to Netscape Mail. It's hard to imagine my email or calendar without it!

Also, what a cute bird ❤️

The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU.

It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.

The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”
