I forgot how I love the EF 70-200 f2.8 L IS USM II and how it is to shoot with a view finder. When my (15 yr old) 5D MkII dies, it will be a big loss.
I have a few options: There is an EF to X adapter that works for the Fujifilm. Reasonable price. It's crop (APS-C)
Canon R (full frame) starts at too much money. And then EF adapter.
Depending on the time frame, a used 5D MkIII or IV.
For now, no action needed.

I enjoyed this talk by @Felienne and recommend it: "Programming for All: A Feminist Case for Language Design"
youtube.com/watch?v=kbTQlQWAHe… (h/t @joshuagrochow)
The talk covers a lot of ground and this is not at all the most important part, but she calls for study of why people like languages, with the specific example of Rust. I often cite this interaction as representative of an all-too-rare ethos that prioritizes human surfaces of the language ecosystem. Not as an afterthought, but as a major consideration in feature design and stabilization.
This interaction is between the author of the Rustonomicon and a Rust compiler team member focusing on quality of error messages, who often consults the community about quality/verbosity/ambiguity tradeoffs. The latter's bio reads: "We spent decades trying to invent a sufficiently smart compiler when we should have been inventing a sufficiently empathetic one."

Apenas el domingo recibí una llamada de un número de CDMX, como que falló el sistema un poco, pq sonó, entró la llamada, escuché un "bueno?" y se sobrepuso un audio que decía "está recibiendo una llamada del reclusorio [no se escuchó bien] de la ciudad de méxico", obvio colgué de inmediato
Quién sabe que nuevo sistema han ideado esos delincuentes que andan con todo.
has anyone seen a man page with a nice approach to providing a summary for a command with a lot of command line options, like this?

Dear #accessibility hivemind, is there an easy way to have #Orca working with a natural-sounding text-to-speech voice, that is not eSpeak, but rather something like #MyCroft's Mimic3 ?
What's the state of the art for screenreader TTS voices on #Linux and how do I get it in #Fedora?

Pied makes it simple to install and manage text-to-speech Piper voices for use with Speech Dispatcher. - Elleo/piedGitHub
Oh my god, Pied JUST WORKS!
I can't believe my ears! 
I just installed Pied's flatpak package, let it install Piper, then downloaded the best English voice I could find ("Lessac", the basis for most other voices), and told Pied to set it as the Speech Dispatcher voice…
Now Orca sounds natural, and I can stand using it, for the first time in 20 years.

We do not aim for #deltachat to be another social media app. No #ai summaries or suggestions. No public directory of contacts. No discovery via outside identifiers (mobile phone or email). Just you and your contacts privately messaging, in a solid simple user interface on all platforms. End-to-End encryption enforced on two layers. #chatmail relays know and retain nothing, no content or metadata. #webxdc apps allow for custom interactions on top of chats.
Contributors and donations welcome!
The UK's national drought group is falling ridiculously short when recommending to delete old emails. How about
- stop building any new data centers, progressively tax on their size and resource consumption, no free riding
- legislatively focus on software to become more resource efficient (hint: AI hurts not helps with that)
In any case, #chatmail relays unconditionally remove emails, no user action needed. Everything interesting happens on end devices see en.reset.org/decentralised-eff…
Delta Chat is exceptionally energy-efficient—and offers unique features that make it a genuine alternative to WhatsApp and other messengers.Lana O'Sullivan (RESET - Digital for Good)

this whole Lidarr situation is crazy. The software broke in June and still hasn't been fixed.
They rely on Musicbrainz as their metadata source. They stopped having the software directly talk to the Musicbrainz API because it was too slow and causing too much load on Musicbrainz.
Ok, so first red flag. If Musicbrainz can't handle the load, someone needs to fund Musicbrainz so they can handle people using their API. Even if they required you donate a few $$ for access it would have been fine. 
Well, the "solution" was for the Lidarr team to run their own Musicbrainz servers. So they did. It's a lot of data, and even this was too slow to handle the load. My spidey senses are telling me these devs just don't know how to deploy infra. 
After all, they're talking too much about running k8s for their current stack and have mentioned that they didn't even have backups to fix the initial outage.
What was the initial outage? Well, Musicbrainz does schema updates that are pretty severe maybe once a year and they try to let all stakeholders know it's going to happen.
Schema change. Big deal, right? 
Well, since they run their own Musicbrainz server and it was too slow... they made their own API that directly queries the Musicbrainz database instead of going through the MB API
The schema changes broke their own code.
So now they're rewriting it all because this certainly will solve their problems 
And it's been months. There's not really any comparable software. The whole situation sucks.
It's also the only *arr software where the devs are receiving a copy of all your search queries. Nobody else had to do this, but they blame Musicbrainz.
This also explains why when I make changes on Musicbrainz it takes so long for Lidarr to see it. Because they're not serving the realtime Musicbrainz data...
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
🇨🇿 Czech Republic is now OPPOSED to Chat Control, as announced by Prime Minister Petr Fiala:
"On behalf of myself and the entire TOTAL coalition, I want to say clearly: we will not allow the monitoring of citizens' private correspondence. We do not agree that any emails or messages on platforms such as WhatsApp or Messenger can be monitored. Protecting our children is important, but we have to do it differently."
This now leaves eight undecided member states.
#Google: We need to limit #sideloading, #GooglePlay is so much safer!

@BorrisInABox interestingly, I've just signed-up to my first paid-for IPTV package and the remote has channel up/down buttons. Obviously there's no real numerical ordering with streaming, but they've built the UI to mimic the idea of channel numbers.
I have very fond memories of tuning into the analogue broadcast from the BBC on a black and white portable to watch Star Trek from 1994.
It really sucks that culturally we're wired to only give feedback to developers or projects when things are broken.
A product with 15M users gets 100 complaints and only 1 nice "good job" message per month.
It's really demoralizing that we accepted the fact that "if you don't hear from them it means things are good".
People need positive reinforcement and to know that folks are happy about their work.
I understand it's fashionable to bitch about everything because hate brings views

@TheFrenchGhosty wow...what an incredibly privileged and toxic statement.
I do thank the people I interact with. I always say hi to the shop workers and thank them when they help me.
I might be crazy in your eyes, but when I pass an intersection where a construction worker stops digging to let me cross, I thank him.
It's called being a decent human being and not assuming that "You're getting money so I can treat you like shit".
What kind of a sad world do you want to live in?
@TheFrenchGhosty You're interacting with shop-workers inter-personally so of course you'll say thanks.
That is not the equivalent of what you're demanding.
The equivalent would be getting in contact with the manufacturers of all the consumer goods you purchase and thanking them for making them. Do you do that?
@uoou @TheFrenchGhosty no, but when something is not working or wrong, I share my feedback with kindness and respect. That’s also a way of thanking people for their work, even when reporting issues.
People, this is a simple concept, be kind and respectful.
What’s so hard and controversial to understand?
@TheFrenchGhosty That is a very different thing from what you were talking about. Of course we should always be civil.
But, particularly when everything's getting worse, people get pissed off when things get shitter. Humans have emotions. Most human interaction isn't mediated by a HR department, thankfully.
Your argument boils down to virtue signaling.
You're a "Director of Product Engineering" at Mozilla (I didn't know that before). Your argument would actually be worth something if you were working for free (and not for 100 000+ a year - and I'm being generous considering you're literally corporate).
I did/do software as volunteer and got thanks. Here's the reality rich guy, a thank is almost worthless to me (and most of those people you mentioned) because it doesn't pay the bills.
@TheFrenchGhosty To be clear, if I encounter the dev of something I really enjoy using or anything I use where the dev is a *volunteer*, then I'll thank them.
But going out of my way to thank the devs who - as paid work - make the majority of software which gets worse and heavier constantly, no, that's insane.

in reply to Federico Mena Quintero • • •@federicomena Oh, neat, thank you! Really, all I'm doing here is rendering this little circular progress indicator - you can drag it to set the timer. It's currently implemented as a GtkDrawingArea, which then exposes Cairo which I use to draw it: github.com/pojntfx/sessions/bl… - only, with the new Go bindings I'm using (which don't have the hand-written Cairo GIR in them yet) basic functions like `Arc` aren't available since they aren't in the GIR
Will take a look at the two you've mentioned, thanks!
