In my quest to replace all my day-to-day apps with #FOSS alternatives, I installed @thunderbird tonight. Pretty impressively efficient startup, it just brought over all the Outlook data (kind of wish it asked before it did) *except* it REFUSES to sync my outlook.com email. Will need to check on that when it's not late o'clock. #opensource
Thanks so much for trying us out, And that is definitely NOT what we want to happen with Outlook! The best place to get more detailed troubleshooting for this or any other issue is on our official support site, support.mozilla.org, which you can also get to in the app under Help > Get Help in the top menu.
Thunderbird en el escritorio Plasma de KDE usa el diálogo de archivos GNOME a la hora de añadir un adjunto o guardar un archivo. Veamos cómo modificar eso.
For organization public @GitHub or #GitLab repos, are there best practices on what should go into them? When should it be in a private repo as an experiment vs tied to the organization site? Maintaining a piece of content with an organization comes with some responsibility & possibly some costs. Even just trying to align with #check-my-repo best practices.
Has anyone written up best practices for #accessibility with #GoogleSheet's charts & graphs? I'm struggling to deal with the best of bad choices. Text isn't legible or it is hard to differentiate between dark bars.
I wish they had patterns, but someone must have written some guidance on this. #a11y
Honestly, my first assumption is that Google only rarely pays much attention to accessibility, and generally recommend using other tools.
While not a direct analysis of Sheets and its visualizations, the University of Washington's accessibility team did a comparison of the Google and Microsoft office suites in 2023, and the TL;DR was that Google did quite poorly in nearly all test cases and that Microsoft was more accessible start to finish. The slide deck for their presentation is available here (I think the video is restricted to conference attendees): accessinghigherground.org/micr…

You can retrieve or modify your contacts list (aka “roster” in XMPP terms) with `li roster`.
One of the subcommands, `stats`, gives you, as its name implies, statistics on your roster.
You’ll notably get the number of contacts per domain, with a percentage representing the domain's “weight.” It’s a simple way to see how decentralized your contacts network is.
The XMPP Network Graph at xmppnetwork.goodbytes.im shows how chat servers connect across the open #XMPP #federation. I'm occasionally checking the number of dots (servers) and lines (connections between servers). For the first time that I've noticed, that connection count is over 10,000!
The graphing engine is having a hard time rendering all of that. 😅

@Ralfeek dnes som sa práve zamýšľal (v pokračovaní včerajšieho rozhoru so spolubývajúcim - že pri našej práci v gastre máme plný nárok sedieť za PC a hrať sa aj celý deň) nad tým že niekedy keď aj nič nerobím celý deň je to okej... no takže zajtra zakladám.
@donbahno áno presne to isté aj u mňa, stále niečo nové ale ak mám byť úprimný teraz čo tam začali predávať ukrajinci tak je to celkom okej.. i keď radšej by som normálne thc to je samozrejmé.
Něco jsem si k tomu dohledal a moc mě to nenadchlo. Ten mechanismus účinku, kdy se to metabolizuje až v játrech a ten postup výroby. califarms.cz/rubriky/blog/na-s…
@donbahno dal som si pred spaním na lačný žalúdok a potom som jedol a išiel spať... no do jedenástej nespím skoro nikdy a nezobudil ma ani budík. Ešte to asi píše nie som si istý haha
More and more organisations are conscious about the environmental impact of their products - both physical or digital - and are trying to make positive changes.
Hello, my dear friends of high-quality markup!
We're getting closer to the last quarter of 2025, which means that the HTMHell Advent Calendar is getting closer, too.
Everyone is now realizing that WhatsApp is evolving towards its latest form (archive.md/L3W74). If you value secure messaging, you may want to check out @signalapp or @matrix (wich is #federated). EPFL also has its own Matrix instance at matrix.epfl.ch (use @element as a client).
Water drew this irregular yellow squares. I think photographing natural processes, to bring attention to them, can be #SciArt
What happened here is that everything was covered in pollen, then it rained and watter puddles formed in the slightly concave tiles. The floating pollen in the puddles was slowly deposited on the tiles as water evaporated, registering the movement of the fluid.
There actually is some interesting research on this phenomenon. It is known as the coffee ring effect, and the way the particles are deposited is a concequence of capillary flow. There are lots of fun details, such as the gradient of particle density starting high at the outer ring and decreasing inward.

@TimFinnerty Because the local LibreOffice and FOSS community in Hungary volunteered to organise it, to help to spread the word about FOSS in their country 😊
I've been informed that the Nordic Software Security Summit (nsss.se) is postponed due to health reasons and *will not* take place in early October as previously scheduled.
I believe that especially for sensitive areas like #education, #healthcare, or #academia, there is no alternative to fully open #AI models. Everybody should start building upon them and improving them.
@mgifford yes, the file was there, but I guess they pulled it to fix something. They'll probably reupload it later again. If it's not under the same link, I'll edit the original post. :)
I needed those numbers so that I could take the number of product lines of code and divide by the number of days the project has existed. Which makes this:
Yes, I am very knowledgeable in the art of graphical divination. (Sometimes I get queries from confused people who want me to predict their future and use expletives as I do so. I don't do that. Usually.)
„can’t be side loaded“ <— you mean „can’t be installed“, right? Who came up with this „side loaded“ bs? Sounds like doing something additional, when all you really do, is installing a program on your device, no?
(No hate to you, I just wonder about the language)
Edit: Thank you for the explanations of what sideloading is and means!
Can't seem to confirm my signature on any change.org petitions lately - and no way of contacting them to let them know it's f'd up (without x, facebook, instagram).
I switched to Graphene some time ago and it is awesome. Even though it has some issues. But biggest danger is that it runs on Google's Pixel phone. I hope it won't become a problem.
EU citizens should respond to the proposed Digital Fairness Act and suggest that this kind of behaviour be considered illegal: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r…
I have commented suggesting that consumers should have a right to install whatever software they want on hardware they own.
@DanOpcode It took me almost a year to fully uproot Google from my life. But, it was sooooo worth it!
My advice - be prepared for a long battle. It takes time to backup important emails, photos, and documents. And it takes time to update accounts with new email addresses. Leave some buffer time after switching to see if you still get emails from accounts you forgot about.
But when it's done, you'll feel lighter on your feet.
I mean, they've confirmed it can be bypassed via ADB, tho it's kinda funny we'll have to rely on Shizuku or custom ROMs for sideloading. What disappoints me is that this is actually *not that bad* of an idea, considering what's going on w/ scams in many countries to old ppl; I really wish Google had instead tried to do this as a framework or open solution, such that alt stores could also provide dev verification (F-Droid is notorious for replacing dev signatures w/ their own).
going further away from the android/AOSP-derivatives: another solution is Linux distributions on smartphones:
- I personally daily drive #SailfishOS for more than a decade (commercially supported versions of SFOS even have "Android App Support" running inside a container for "that one app" with no native linux port you can't get without)
- I've heard positive things about #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch (but don't have personal experience)
Damn. The biggest issue is always with "official" apps that don't accept custom roms or other operating systems except Android. Banking, car sharing, bike sharing, etc.
This is pretty much concerning for me, personally (and for other people as well who's in the same boat as me)
There's some people who can't afford Pixels like me to install GOS on them, or another third-party OS. I'm personally not a big fan of custom ROMs because I'm pretty sure they'll die over time just by looking what Google is doing with AOSP, trying to make it almost close-source literally
And probably this will affect business that rely on 3rd party software as well...
well that's great upto a point, but Graphene, Calyx & Lineage only run on certain handsets, so unless there's another custom ROM that can run on everything, then only people with the finances to buy a compatible handset, and technical ability can be Google and Android free, the rest are fucked!
unfortunately we will need a completely new alternative. Degoogled android will not have much to live given Google's push for the enshittification of Android. So we will need Linux for mobile, like postmarket and mobian.
And get a device it's possible to install these on before they don't exist anymore or worse, become illegal to purchase or own. It's already illegal in many jurisdictions to change your IMEI even if you're not doing anything else with it, like spoof a different device to get a better deal on your cell service.
unfortunately we don't have a stable live in other custom roms. We could make a good Linux OS for mobiles but there is no developers that want remake everything for OS where people is a rare
Google provides the justification for many leading manufacturers to produce a variety of devices.
Then the best of those devices get support from third party OS's.
I mean yes, of course Google sucks the big sausage. But Asus and Lenovo and Samsung etc. wouldn't be making all this great hardware for reasonable prices if Google weren't out there pushing Android. And we all benefit when we install LineageOS and similar on those devices.
Why the hell does Google now want to monopolize the app store too? I currently have F-Droid on my phone, and the 7-8 apps i absolutely cannot live without all come from F-Droid !
From e-mail to making a shopping list/notes comes from F-Droid.
I noticed the typo in the --retry-max-time docs and decide to do a quick search for staring which lead to three more places where this typo made its way into the docs.

@pyksy we started Dancer in the 95/96 time frame. I don't have any records left from then so I given an exact date. The code was later imported into sourceforge but I don't think we kept the history properly when we did that...
mine too. My first interaction with people on the internet was via IRC in 1999 watching a safari cam and sharing snapshots of when we saw wild animals.
I was on IRC about 25 years, ~1995-2020. Lot of good memories. Now it's replaced by Matrix which is the modern successor for it, but I'm still on many originally IRC channels that have been bridged.
I've written some clients and bots, but the protocol itself isn't something I miss.. It's a product of late 80's.
If you're throwing a party, assign guests to bring things. People never really do this anymore but it makes some people feel important and others may be unlikely to bail as they feel responsible for something others need
