With Dialup going away, I can't help but bring this sound back to remind us of what used to connect us. To the younger generation, if you've not experienced dialup, I'm sure it will come back as some fad or other one day.
Okay Dropbox. I really wish you would learn about auto lock. Just now, I kept hearing a bunch of Discord notifications. And I thought, wow. That's a lot of auto reading for a locked iPad. Nope! Dropbox was just chillin while Chicago Med played, as if my screen were supposed to be on forever.
Do you have autolock turned on? Also, wow, db, it's bad of you. LOL. I always manually lock screens, but also have autolock set to 2 or 5 minutes. 30 seconds isn't enough for VO to read a reddit post. Haha.
Well, some folks by the job description app designers and app developers, forgot to include it to not prevent your device from locking. I don't use it to play stuff, just not enough space, but I also pay for iCloud.
For many users, Android’s openness has long been a key advantage: the ability to install (or “side-load”) apps from outside the Google Play Store, or to use
Kodacolor is great news. Alaris is no friend to photographers. I hope this puts price pressure on Alaris products and maybe they'll stop doing things like gate keeping Vision 3 from photographers if they need to start competing.
TIL that while there is a unicode superscript character for trademarks ( ™ ) there isn't one for latin ordinal indicators. E.g. There's no "st" superscript character to use with 1st.
BUT, there ARE "minuscule" superscript characters of the full English alphabet (tough shit if your language needs diacritics over letters i guess 🤷♀️)
So, you can fake "1st" with those but the font handling isn't great: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ…
@matt oh Jesus Christ. I figured they were literally just minuscule Latin letters so "of course" they'd be handled just like any other Latin letter? But no. 🤦♀️
Just listened with macOS voiceover and it completely skipped over them as if they weren't there. What the absolute fuck?
So many WTFs.
Also just learned that it says "misspelled" before every word that's spelled correctly but not capitalized correctly. That's fun. 😡

This fixes a crash bug which was reported using the new #ACRA crash reporter functionality *less than 3 hours after the last version released*. If that's not an ACRA success story I don't know what is ;)
For those curious the fixed bug is github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…. ACRA delivered a very clear stack trace and other information like the Android version which helped to triage this quickly.
Interestingly enough, this code that crashed seems to have been around for *8 years*, a very simple off-by-one error. Due to a series of circumstances, the user ended up with a card with no header colour.
When picking a header colour, the name of the card was used and modulus 8 was done on it. However...
Just reported with our brand new crash reporter. Thanks ACRA, didn't expect you to come in handy this quickly. OnePlus 13 (CPH2653), Android 15. User reported the crash happening the moment they ta...
Given there were only 7 valid colours, that means there was a 1 in 8 chance of picking an invalid colour, causing a crash.
The most surprising part, to me, is not the bug. It's a very simple mistake to make. What does surprise me though is that a crash issue in 8 year old code never got reported before.
This is yet another reminder that if you're frustrated about something, make sure it's actually reported! The dev may simply not be aware of the issue! :)
@Penglix Sadly yes. F-Droid has been having issues for the past 2 months building several apps (including Catima) due to the older hardware used: gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu…
It looks like F-Droid is looking into buying new servers, but it also looks like Google might be releasing a new version of the Android Gradle Plugin soon which supports such old hardware again. So the next release may reach F-Droid again :)
If you're impatient, you can export your data and switch to the IzzyOnDroid version :)
Affected apps under this label: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/?label_name%5B%5D=AGP-8.12.0 Between 8.12.0-alpha07 and 8.12.0-alpha08, aapt2 started to want a CPU that supports BMI1, CPUID, SSE4_1, SSSE3 ...
Thank you for the response! I might make the switch.
We had contact a while ago. It was about the "Deutschlandticket" in Germany. I promised you a feedback. It works with Catima. I got the ticket here as a PDF file and as a pkpass file:

I would expect that readding to be fixable, the pkpass probably contains an URL to get updates from. But I haven't really looked into that much more deeply: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

No. They asked us if we wanted to be included and we politely declined, but they have a right to redistribute open source software. We asked them not to make it look like an official posting but they seem to have ignored that request. Our understanding is that MuseHub adds some sort of wrapper to software they redistribute so we do not recommend using it.
The primary reason why I asked was because LMMS got an offer for a partnership on Muse Hub, and we were discussing it on their Discord server. I then decided to look at Muse Hub myself and then discovered Mixxx on Muse Hub.
From the Discord server, it appears that someone from MuseHub is looking into it. I don't know if you'll get contacted again or what but I thought I'd let you all know what's going on.
It looks like Muse has updated Mixxx to the latest version, so that's nice to see. The linked manual is still old, though.
We do sign our Windows installer, so it's possible to confirm if that's been modified. Our other installers take a little more work to compare SHA values or otherwise determine if they match our builds.
my moral feelings about neural networks in general are similar to my moral feelings about explosives
there are a lot of peaceful and beneficial applications like text to speech and closed captioning and ocr, but somehow most of the industry is doing the equivalent of carpet bombing the world
so it was really very fitting when last year we gave the "guy who invented dynamite thinking it would bring peace" award to the neural network people
As a single solution across government, GCtranslate will generate economies of scale and reinforce the use of both official languages within the public service. It demonstrates the government’s commitment to modernizing the public service through secure, efficient and Canadian-based innovative digital tools.
As part of the Government of Canada’s digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a central role in modernizing public service operations.
> An earlier version of the tool was launched at PSPC in June 2025 under the name PSPC Translate. In its first 3 months of operation, it translated more than 60 million words, equivalent to more than 3,000 pages of documents per working day.
What was the error rate? And how much did it cost to fix those errors? If they don't say it's because it's bad.
@bougiewonderland I was not expecting any answer to exist. Because it would probably look very bad so no need to try to look for it. Question was purely rhetorical.

even more since there not a single tram line left. Sometime the rails they were too lazy to lift reappear under the low quality pavement. But in general it has all disappeared.
Target is putting blind-accessible self-checkout machines in its stores. They were designed with feedback from the blind community. There's braille, headphone jacks (hopefully they also have speakers), tactile controls, voice feedback, and more. corporate.target.com/news-feat…
Target launches a first-of-its-kind accessible self-checkout experience, created with and for people with disabilities. Rolling out in stores now through early 2026.
We’re back with a fresh release, and this one makes following and sharing smoother than ever—plus gives you more control over how your posts can be quoted.
While #chatcontrol poses an existential threat to the Freiburg merlinux GmbH and distributing #deltachat apps from within the EU to all stores worldwide, it would resist any chatcontrol legislation up to the German constitutional and EuGH courts.
If the EU based company would need to fold in a few years, there would likely be forks distributed outside the EU that will *seamlessly* continue to function. Our architecture and FOSS licensing makes sure of it. See also chaos.social/@delta/1134177407…
We consider our efforts aligned: #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc implement "right to exit" on all levels of our decentralized messaging project.
- deploy your own servers permission free and interoperable with all e-mail servers ("federation mast") - all apps and libraries and server components are 100% Foss - interactive chat-shared web-apps can be used in other messengers

Praha - Policie dnes zhruba na hodinu uzavřela Vysočanskou ulici v Praze, která spojuje Prosek a Vysočany. Důvodem byl nález miny. Přivolaný pyrotechnik zjistil, že mina nebyla funkční. Policie to uvedla na síti X.
On this day in 2002, we shipped curl 7.10. The first #curl version that did certificate checks by default when speaking TLS unless specifically asked not to.
Congrats on choosing --insecure back then as argument name which is an exceptionally good choice. I still occasionally read people recommending to use --insecure because it would "just work" but the name is the best possible hint about the consequences👍
When I heard of the digital Pokemon TCG, I was like, "That sounds like all the downsides and none of the positives because I don't get cards with nice art at the end of it." (Ignoring the fact that many Pokemon cards are generic 3D renders that a fan could make anyway.)
Apparently there is a new "collection" in this TCG app that is just a repeat of a bunch of cards from a previous collection, and I found out about it from a YouTube video calling this a "scam". But really, I think fucking up the satisfaction of collecting stuff is a good thing to stop people with gambling impulses.
Collecting stuff is red flag behaviour if the stuff you're collecting was meant to be collected. As in, it's a red flag that you love marketing and I will dislike you. But even a garbage collection like funko-pops or physical cards is eventually cool once the company is gone – a digital TCG collection will stop existing before it ever becomes cool.
I've been thinking (and that's not good for anyone and everyone should be holding their breath) about media consumption patterns over time, and how those shifting patterns in consumer habits have shaped culture.
This might be an Old Man yells at clouds moment, but I think there's likely something to it.
I'll try to coalesce the things I'm thinking into coherent words.
