Is society really teaching men that women need to be coerced to date them? I see this often, one of my friends goes on a date with some guy, she isn't that into him, and politely turns down a second date, and then he wants this complete breakdown as to why not, and what the problem is, and how she's not even giving him a chance.

Why would you want to keep trying to date someone who just wasn't that into you?

Don't get me wrong, rejection hurts, but it's part of life. Maybe it's movies showing women just waiting for men to call, idk. I don't speak for all women, but if I like a guy or gal, you aren't going to have to convince me, and if you try, that's a pretty big red flag. On the plus side, if you can call it that, the assholes usually betray themselves here, it usually ends in calling the woman a fat ugly slut or some variation, with promises that she'll be sorry when she's a lonely cat lady. So, I guess you at least know how big of a bullet you dodged.

In #Switzerland, fine for a speeding driver is based (1) on how far over the limit the driver is going
(2) on how much the driver earns.

One man caught driving his Ferrari at 137 km/h the in an 80 km/h zone in a village near St. Gallen was fined 300,000 Swiss Francs (today, $375,000 US).

This summer, a driver was fined $153,000 for going 27 km/h over the limit in #Lausanne.

The fine is based on the “personal and economic situation of the offender at the time of the ruling.”

Despite backslash, Mozilla went ahead and added Perplexity’s AI option.
Mozilla’s Firefox adds Perplexity’s AI answer engine as a new search option techcrunch.com/2025/10/14/mozi…

Mozilla is so disconnected from its user base. No wonder they are losing the browser battle. People chose Firefox for specific reasons such as privacy or no AI, yet they keep messing around. I fear they won't be around in a fewz years time. I wish to be prove wrong.

NordVPN added a (long-awaited) GUI to its Linux app back in May. Now, the code for that front-end has been made open source to "better serve the Linux community".

Many people still misunderstand screen readers — who uses them, how they work, and what inclusive design really means.

Ela Gorla has unpacked the most common myths and what they reveal about digital accessibility on the TetraLogical blog:

@clv0 Great question, and one I don't have an answer to. We were thinking that the whole exercise of updating the license might be an interesting case study to share in future (and that question might fit in such an analysis) - although I would add that we haven't started planning such an article or anything just yet - though as and when we do, it would definitely be mentioned in our blog (subscribe at nvaccess.org/newsletter ) and almost certainly here as well.

The #UnifiedPush website now has a section for talks, including the one I gave at #Datenspuren in Dresden last month.
Presentations and their video recordings are a great way to learn about new topics. Check it out: unifiedpush.org/talks/

@mynoise I’m a weirdo who doesn’t use a smartphone, however I recently purchased a Fiio JM21 MP3 player (which runs Android 13) to use for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and I was hoping the myNoise Android app as well. I can install every other audio player app I want, but for some reason Google Play tells me that myNoise is not compatible with this device. Is there a reason for that or anything that can be done? I love myNoise so this is a little heartbreaking for me.

This is what efficiency looks like at scale: an open server design that speeds up technician workflows and cold aisle containment. They have ventilation grids in the raised floor that deliver cool air straight where it’s needed. The payoff? Reliable & seamless operation for hundreds of thousands of systems, optimal temperatures, and reduced energy consumption.

@ondrosik I think this is a difference how #friendica generates the home timeline feed as compared to mastodon and other common #fediverse servers. Friendica also includes repies in the home timeline feed. There are apps that can filter out posts that are replies to other posts client side however TW Blue may not be able to do that I think.

Ať už vyvineme jakoukoli technologii, budou zapotřebí byrokratické instituce, které každý algoritmus zkontrolují a buď ho schválí, nebo zamítnou. Tyto instituce budou ve snaze zajišťovat bezpečnost a spravedlnost nových algoritmických systémů využívat schopností lidí i počítačů. I kdybychom přijali zákony, které lidem poskytnou právo na vysvětlení, a schválili předpisy proti zaujatosti počítačů, bez těchto institucí by na dodržování takových pravidel neměl kdo dohlížet.

Ich habe seit längerem mal wieder in mein Tuta-Postfach geschaut und testweise eine meiner Domains eingebunden. Klappt soweit.

Nun wollte ich testweise alle Mails exportieren, der Vorgang bricht allerdings immer bei knapp 1900 exportierten Mails ab. Ich hab es knapp ein Dutzend mal probiert.

Gibt es eine Obergrenze für den Export oder könnte es eine bestimmte Mail sein, die den Fehler auslöst? Wenn letzteres, wie finde ich diese?

Vanadium version 141.0.7390.111.0 released


Changes in version 141.0.7390.111.0:

  • update to Chromium 141.0.7390.111
  • enable origin keyed processes by default for improved site isolation sandboxing
  • drop unnecessary code related to our search engine changes
  • replace enabling local network checks feature in Vanadium Config via the browser again (this was enabled upstream so we dropped our patch but then they disabled it again which we dealt with via Vanadium Config)

A full list of changes from the previous release (version 141.0.7390.70.0) is available through the Git commit log between the releases.

This update is available to GrapheneOS users via our app repository and will also be bundled into the next OS release. Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features.
