Remember #Movuary, when I and @FreakyFwoof posted a track made with Ableton Move for every day in February? Well, this is both of our birth months. I, in particular, don't have lots to celebrate, so instead, I've decided to give away all the Ableton bundles from that project, except one, because I accidentally deleted it. So, for anyone who has Avleton Note or Ableton Move, you can play these just as they were created, modify them, study them, make them more interesting... For those with Ableton Live, you can import them, but they may not come out sounding exactly the same, because Live converts it to it's own format, and there are differences in the libraries. Anyway, have fun... borris.me/audio/movuary2025/Ab…
I’m proud to be joining @Mastodon’s Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.
I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.
But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because our strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.
I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞
Trump’s HHS just released an anonymous report filled with despicable lies and disinformation about the evidence-based healthcare that trans youth and their families need.
We aren’t fooled by MAGA’s attempt to rebrand and promote conversion therapy, a dangerous and discredited practice. aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/the…
President Donald Trump’s assault on transgender rights is a gross overreach of presidential power and yet another attempt to punish trans people just for existing.
This is a cruel, politically-driven attack on trans kids and their families. Every major medical group affirms that gender-affirming care is safe, effective, and essential. Politicians shouldn’t override science or block families from getting kids the care that they need.

If you have managed to delete your C:\inetpub folder following the recent #Windows security #patch for #cve202521204 then you can re-create it using the following PowerShell script:
This script recreates this empty folder with the correct TrustedInstaller and SYSTEM privilages.
It does nothing to prevent the creation of HardLinks to this folder of course.
You could remove the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege (via secpol.msc for example) from a user account to prohibit creation of SymLinks but you would need to check in a test envoiroment to see what effects might have that have and what might break 🤔🤷♂️
Today In Labor History May 1, 1886: The first nationwide General Strike for the 8-hour day occurred in Milwaukee and other U.S. cities. In Chicago, police killed four demonstrators and wounded over 200. This led to the mass meeting a Haymarket Square, where an unknown assailant threw a bomb, killing several cops. The authorities responded by rounding up all the city’s leading anarchists, and a kangaroo court which wrongfully convicted 8 of them, including Albert Parsons, husband of Lucy Parsons, who would go on to cofound the IWW, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Eugene Debs, and others. Worldwide protests against the convictions and executions followed. To honor the wrongfully executed anarchists, and their struggle for the 8-hour day, May first has ever since been celebrated as International Workers Day in nearly every country in the world, except the U.S.
If it manipulates your hunger, unfollow. If it rewards outrage and punishes thought, unfollow. If it makes you compare your life to a fiction, unfollow. Your peace is non-negotiable.
A few days ago, I sat down to explore the cost of garbage generation, and found surprising results - at least, surprising to me. I live tooted my discoveries, as I usually do, but halfway through I figured: this is worth a blog post.
I have more to say and share, and this is kind of a followup to A season of iocaine anyway, but in old Hobbit tradition, this little byrding wanted to give you all a little present of his own making today.
@lynessence Yeah. Sadly the microblog books and links features weren't doing what I wanted, and the comments system wasn't letting people log in with Mastodon. So couldn't justify paying for it.
Yeah, that’s fair. Microblog certainly isn’t a perfect service, and I have sent feedback about accessibility issues which has never been addressed. I like this version of your blog because you don’t have that big menu at the top, it’s a lot less cluttered.

Knowing what the cost of RAM is, I can't see how you can justify $1999 for that tiny amount of RAM. It really seems scammy to me. I like the idea but not the implication. I think jail breaking an android and then replacing it's OS is a more practical path.
@Purismsubway surfers Honestly, I really like what Purism is trying to do with privacy-focused hardware, but I have to agree with others here — $1999 feels way out of reach for most people. If they could bring the price closer to what the Librem 5 was (even with slightly lower margins), I think more folks would actually give it a try. Right now it just feels like a niche product only a few can afford, which kind of defeats the point of spreading privacy-respecting devices.

Detection, display and blocking of pixel tracker (web beacon) in Tuta app and email client in browser by default will be helpful. These mass surveillance tools in the name of read receipts or open counts are very common in corporate emails here in the US. #pixeltracking #trackingpixel #webbeacons
@nkar Tuta protects you from email tracking pixels by blocking the automatic download of external images. This feature prevents third parties from tracking when and where you open emails. Tuta does not download external images by default, which includes preventing the loading of spy pixels or tracker pixels commonly used in marketing emails
That is not an active protection. That 'feature' is available in any email service, as far as one reads emails in text format and chooses not to autoload pictures. In addition Tuta does not actively detect and show tracking pixels. I suggest that Tuta looks up how all these are implemented in FairEmail for example.
Die #GPN23 findet vom 19.06. bis zum 22.06.2025 in HfG & ZKM #Karlsruhe statt.
Wichtig für euch ist: Dieses Jahr müssen wir eine verpflichtende Anmeldung einführen, Details dazu im Blogpost und im Wiki (entropia.de/GPN23). Dafür bekommt ihr für 10€ das Gulasch-Genusspaket mit einem Hauptgericht und alkoholfreiem Getränk! Ebenfalls gibt es eine Möglichkeit, Friends-Tickets zu bekommen, Details dazu im Wiki.
Runde 1 der Anmeldung startet diesen Sonntag, 27.04., ab 20 Uhr unter join.gulas.ch
Ab dem Donnerstag, 01.05.2025, 14:00, schalten wir weitere Anmeldungen frei.
The #GPN23 will take place from 19.06. to 22.06.2025 at HfG & ZKM #Karlsruhe.
Important for you: This year we have to introduce a mandatory registration, details in the blog post and in the wiki (entropia.de/GPN23). For 10€ you get the "Gulasch-Genusspaket" with a main course and non-alcoholic drink! There is also a possibility to get Friends-Tickets, details in the Wiki.
Round 1 of registration starts this Sunday, April 27, from 8 pm at join.gulas.ch
From Thursday, May 1, 2025, 14:00, we will activate another round of registrations.
Dasselbe Problem haben wir gerade auch mit dem Pretix. Leider hat unsere Skalierung nicht gereicht, und ihr habt noch mehr Anmeldungen und Gulasch-Genusspakete gewollt, als wir dachten. Wir arbeiten dran!
Bitte bewahrt Ruhe, und drückt etwas seltener Reload - danke!
Und falls das Gulasch^die Anmeldungen doch gleich schon leer sind, gibt es am Donnerstag die nächste Runde.
Für heute sind die Anmeldungen leer - danke für euer Interesse an der #gpn23!
Mit der zweiten großen Runde geht es Donnerstag (01.05.) um 14:00 UTC+2 weiter.
Zwischendurch kann es natürlich immer sein, dass unbezahlte Gulasch-Genusspakete oder stornierte Anmeldungen in kleiner Zahl verfügbar werden, spontan ins Pretix schauen lohnt sich also.
Und natürlich gilt: Solltet ihre eine Anmeldung haben, diese aber nicht mehr brauchen, gebt diese weiter oder storniert sie so früh wie möglich - die wartenden Besuchenden werden es euch danken!
Zur Rechnungsadressen-Pflichtangabe im Bestellprozess: Dies war ein Konfigurations-Fehler, wir arbeiten dran. Entschuldigung dafür!
Relevant ist die Rechnungsadrsse für euch, wenn ihr gespendet habt und eine korrekte Spendenbescheinigung haben wollt - dann brauchen wir natürlich die Adresse für die Bescheinigung.
Registrations are empty for today - thank you for your interest in #gpn23!
The second big round of registrations will continue on Thursday (01.05.) at 14:00 UTC+2.
In between, of course, it is always possible that unpaid Gulasch-Genusspakete or canceled registrations become available in small numbers, so it's worth checking the Pretix spontaneously.
And of course, if you have a registration but no longer need it, please pass it on or cancel it as soon as possible - the waiting visitors will thank you!
Regarding the mandatory billing address in the order process: This was a configuration error, we are working on it. Sorry about that!
The billing address is relevant for you if you have donated and want a correct "Spendenbescheinigung" - then of course we need the address for that one.
The German customs office sent me a letter saying that they have assessed me a tax of €0, but I don't have to worry, the amount has already been paid. 😄
I'd throw them away. I impulsively collect au stuff because I have a problem with throwing them out of they are not "damaged". But it's really not good for my mental health...
