I think they made this joke poster because a previous one may have used AI or it was just a bad photoshop -- there's a floating thumb in the air to the right of his gun
Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
huh nice, what kinda storage? storage speed was my postgres difficulty last i ran a pleroma instance, once the db hit over 50gb queries would time out until i moved to fast ssds. i stopped around 2022, unno if the schema or postgres's performance has changed since then.
@matt, a screenshot displaying turquoise background with three windows above it. There are two buttons in the corners of the screen: the top left button shows an icon of a paperclip and says "Workspace 1", the bottom left button has the XTerm logo (blue T overlaid on top of red X).
To the right of the middle, an XTerm window showing the output of a command listing video outputs and something else, visible are keywords "wl_output", "wl_compositor", "wl_seat" etc.
City council, the mayor, borough councils, borough mayors, #assnat, MNAs, MPs, #hoc, etc. have known this for a while... you'd think something/anything would've been said and done BEFORE June, right?
Right?
Nope, not in Montréal. Not in Québec.
Lip service, only. juste pour la forme, seulement.
When times were better, my partner and her family used to go to the Bronx zoo almost every weekend. I only did this a few times.
One such time, October 5, 2013, I recorded this from just outside the sea lion pool. ?Captured with a pair of Sound Professionals MS-BMC3 microphones on glasses and an Olympus LS14 recorder. The image is what I would consider quasi-binaural, best heard with headphones.

So glad that you've published this, but sad that publishing it became necessary. I've really appreciated your leadership in the open source community speaking about issues like this, CVEs, etc.
Question For all the corporate messages in support of the EAA, why does it take yet another accessibility legislative effort to get you to do what you say you are committed to doing? Yes, I'm glad we have the legislation but ask yourself why it was needed in the first place? Then too, why do those support messages not extend to your entire corporate portfolio? theideaplace.net/from-word-flu…
A few years ago I wrote blog posts on what I called Accessibility Island and Ethical Accessibility. In a nutshell these posts outlined the human consequences of accessibility gaps and the need for …
@vick21 I have indeed and that's why I think the entire corporate accessibility policy needs a rethink, especially now when here in the U.S. many established and hard won successes on multiple fronts are under attack.
I agree, but a lot of this comes down not to the policies but to the people who make them. Laws can only do so much. Just to be clear, I am in favor of pushing the envelope by whatever means necessary. I also hold relatively moderate expectations as far as success goes. I feel we need to leave some space for humans to play a role, and not rely on policies only. I sincerely hope EAA will help us move slightly bit more forward!

@JamminJerry yeah, and that's generally for an HDD, not SSD. These days you can pick up something like the Seagate expansion drive for $229, and while it won't have the blazing read and write speeds as an SSD, at least you're guaranteed all of the capacity you're sold.
Google is an environmental terrorist, an ecocider of monumental proportions. Driven by relentless greed and that tech bro arrogance. There is no 'clean' energy or things you can buy, Google, to wash away your non-stop destruction of our environment.
Today I added the following paragraph to #curl's hackerone page informing about our bug-bounty program:
Reports are made public
All security reports that are submitted to the curl project are subject for disclosure once they have been dealt with and they are deemed "insensitive". We are an Open Source project for which transparency is important, which then includes showing the world all our security reports as well.
A když jsme u toho, ještě jsem si v době, kdy schnulo lepidlo, schnula barva, schnul balzám a schnul lak, udělal zase o něco menší peněženku. Je v ní sedm karet a bankovky. Mám rád minimalismus. Viděl jsem ji kdesi na Youtube, střih je jednoduchý, vlastně je to celé z jednoho kusu usně. #leatherworking #handmade
Hungarians made history today as over 180 000 marched through Budapest to celebrate pride, in open defiance of #fidesz's illegal ban. This day will mark the beginning of the end for Victor #Orban and his cronies. Soon #Hungary will be free!
Just started using #MailPit for dev environments. It's an SMTP testing tool that basically simulates receiving emails sent by your app via SMTP so your app has no idea it's not production. It has some little accessibility quirks like unlabeled buttons here and there, but in general it's quite a thing. Again, I've only started, maybe my opinion will change.
- “So, where do you study?” - “At the University of Wag.” - “Where is that? I never heard of that city.” - “It's a city in Gelderland, close to Ede.” - “Do you mean Wageningen?” - “Yes, that's how boomers call it. But it didn't fit into NS information screens.”
Yeah, Mastodon's Unlisted is such a misnomer. My biggest gripe with it is that it mainly means "unsearchable".
And you can't really change that on a server, since that would mean that people who did mean "unsearchable" when they chose "unlisted", suddenly find their posts showing up in searches without their consent...
Friendica meanwhile shows threads as threads, but without the collapsing which would be very useful.
mastodon needs to stop making such stupid decisions. Unlisted only means "not addressed TO the public, only CC the public so it is not published in timelines"
I wonder if this is a legacy decision, left over from the time before Mastodon implemented ActivityPub support and had better control through the Mastodon API.
Mastodon has a history of using its popularity to unilaterally control the direction of the Fediverse. If a new spec is proposed that Mastodon doesn't care for, it gets killed. If Mastodon wants to change the rules about how something works, now everyone is forced to accept it or things break.
e.g., There is no such thing as a "Content Warning"; that is the subject field in ActivityPub but Mastodon abused it for another purpose and now we all have to treat it that way. It is probably the perfect field for something like Lemmy to be using as the subject for a thread, but nope -- it's a content warning so they had to invent the title of a post being some <p><a> HTML on the first line of the message body.
Gargon pretends to be a supporter of an permissive, interoperable, federated ecosystem shaped by open democratic processes but in reality all he cares about is what is good for "Mastodon the project".

In 2024, at least 28,900 people were forced to flee from their homes and internally displaced in Mexico, primarily as a result of the actions of organized crime.
On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ people.
Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.
The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.
In my Portable Puzzle Collection, it was recently (a few weeks ago) the 20th birthday of the game "Mines": a reimplementation of Minesweeper which ensures every grid can be solved by reasoning rather than guesswork. The first click in a completely blank grid is guaranteed to be safe, and to open an area of more than one clue, and after that, you can always identify a safe square to open next by thinking about the currently visible clues.
This makes it possible to generate grids with a much higher density of mines than standard randomised Minesweeper, such as the example shown here with 99 mines in only a 16×16 grid. I actually didn't predict that this would be possible when I wrote the grid generator originally: I only expected to be able to play on settings like the standard Windows ones, without those nasty last-minute frustrations. The ability to turn up the density by more than a factor of 2 was a very pleasant surprise – my algorithm was far more effective than I had anticipated!
The odd thing about Mines is: in the past 20 years, this one game has received far more bug reports about insoluble game instances than any other puzzle in my collection. Very likely more than all the other games *put together*.
But not one of those reports has turned out to be a real bug in the grid generation. In cases where they sent a save file or a game ID, I generally played through the game myself to make sure; if they only sent a screenshot, I've always at least pointed out something I could see in the picture. *Everybody* who sent this kind of report turned out to have missed something.
Read this a whine ago. It's kinda depressing that I feel like I needed to read that. Everyone who lives in a country in which rght wing forces are gaining more and more momentum (so basically: everyone).
It describes strategies to slow down, hinder, make lifes harder of such forces when they are grasping for power. It describes how such forces gain power.
So pretty essential. And good to know that there are strategies to fight back.
