"The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before."

On this date in 2018, I started my US visa "journey" after they first had denied me to travel to the US and then denied me ESTA. It would eventually take 937 days until I got the visa.

For #3dprinting folks and Americans in particular, this is a video of Polymaker's factory that is in Houston. They've been producing their filament there for over a year now and they are rather experienced as I am sure you will find. This is interesting content. youtube.com/watch?v=bS0hTtDYVu…

In French, we call foxes “renards”, although before the 13th century we used to call them “goupils”, from the Latin “vulpes”. It changed because of a famous character in medieval literature who was an anthropomorphic fox named “Renart”, which has the same origin as the German name Reinhard–he’s actually still called Reynard in English. The stories of Renart were so popular that the name replaced the original noun. It’s like if nowadays people called cats garfields.

Disability Rights UK (who do fantastic disability rights handbooks) have come out in solidarity with trans folk after yesterday's decision with a much better and stronger statement than Stonewall managed (they "share the deep concern")

This is what solidarity looks like at its most basic. Supporting each other, recognising the connections that are shared, and speaking the fuck out.

For anyone interested in immersive 3d #audio, would you mind giving this proposal some love for #Godot please? I am trying to convince whoever can be convinced to reopen and consider adding SteamAudio to Godot, which would greatly benefit everyone, developers and players alike. Thank you. Boosts are very much appreciated. github.com/godotengine/godot-p…

If you open @smashingmag, you might (or might not) recognize the name on the latest article. 😁

Apologies in advance, it’s a long read, and there’s not a single line of code. But I’m a little bit proud of this one! ☺️

What you think?! #accessibility

We've recently seen serious spam attacks against Matrix, so we're introducing Policy Servers to recommend whether servers should accept or discard events *before* they get synced to clients. If your server participates in public rooms, see matrix.org/blog/2025/04/introd… to keep it safe.

This week Semios/Almanac laid off an estimated 10% of headcount, including yours truly just today.

It wasn't a surprise, but that doesn't make it suck less.

Which is to say: I'm now 100% available for full time, contract, paid speaking, board, advisory positions. #OpenSource, #BusinessStrategy, #BizOps, #Standards, #Leadership, etc.

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

I'm a bit confused on the localisation front, because here you say that you use weblate, but currently Thunderbird's only project on weblate seems to be Thunderbird for Android, wheras Thunderbird Desktop and thunderbird.net are on pontoon. I'm wondering where we might expect future project's localisation to be based from (like the Thunderbird Pro stuff).

Really glad to see @Mastodon working on quote #QuotePosts, and they're doing it in a really considerate way that will hopefully cut down on the downsides of quoted posts on other platforms. blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…
