Libervia CLI Tip 15:

When publishing a blog or other pubsub based feature, the item ID is often used in the URL when it is rendered for the web (e.g.; Libervia or Movim use something like `https://…/blog/<user>/<item_id>`).

It is then important to have a user-friendly item ID (e.g.; `title-of-my-publication-abc123`), which is usually done by the software from the title.

If you want to change it, you can use `li pubsub rename`.

Hey, did you know that you can join Matrix chatrooms using Movim and #matridge (a Slidge XMPP - Matrix bridge) ? 😮

You can then access your Matrix rooms (and soon Matrix servers 😚) and integrate them seamlessly in your Movim interface ✨

…and it seems that Movim is much faster than Element at accessing and displaying the content of Matrix chat rooms 🚀 Fun 😸

Checkout the Slidge project slidge.im/ !

You know like how they tell you that washing dishes with a dishwasher will save a lot of water but they don't mention that the heat and abrasion of the dishwasher causes anything plastic to start shedding a ton of microplastics into foods that contact them. And everything that isn't plastic is expensive. So you should already have a sink of soapy water anyway ...

The Legal Case Against Ring’s Face Recognition Feature

Many biometric privacy laws across the country are clear: Companies need your affirmative consent before running face recognition on you.

Noticed my old Dell Latitude E7240 was running a bit slow. Also noticed 71 microsoft edge (msedge.exe) processes running.

Yep, that'd do it.

Never have I ever read an article about Trump and Epstein that treats survivors of their sexual abuse and violence with more indifference. Crawley presents claims by Trump's team as fact and then brushes aside the revelations in the email dump as nothing significant, as though the girls they talk about trafficking are nothing to report. There was a lot in these files and they reveal more about how closely tied these two abusers were. Garbage reporting. Shame on you #CBC and #MikeCrawley

Anyone know how the new-ish Steam OS accessibility beta is going? Is it still beta or has it made it to stable yet? Is it actually using Orca underneath so you can use desktop mode?

I wonder what it would take to add TTS/screen reader controller shims to Proton, if they aren't there already? Can't imagine screen reader controller shims are, but TTS/SAPI? I assume there's some sort of bridge layer between the Linux and Windows API surfaces, but is that layer extensible so users could just, I don't know, install a ProtonPack(TM) or similar, add necessary TTS/screen reader API bridges to whatever it exposes to games, and have accessible games on an accessible Steam OS?

This post brought to you by the Steam Machine, and by me wanting to purge Windows 11 from my Steam Deck. That said, I haven't really looked at the specs yet, but if it's as solid as the Deck then I'm tempted.

"'Funaná is music of liberation. Fierce music. Anti-colonial music,' says Marcus Veiga aka Portugal-born, Angolan and Cape Verdean artist Scúru Fitchádu. 'What I like about funaná is that it comes from the people,'"

As an American, treacle is not really common in our desserts and most people don't even know what it is. It's a strange word though, it has some unpleasant quality to it but it's hard to pin down.

Without knowing what it is, try to use it in a sentence:

"That gas station sushi gave me a treacle of diarrhea."

Feels right, doesn't it?
