I just donate to the @gnome project / foundation. This time I could only manage 10USD! But please if you can spare some money! Support one or more #opensource projects! It does actually make a difference!
"Remember when you thought age verification laws couldn't get any worse? Well, lawmakers in Wisconsin, Michigan, and beyond are about to blow you away.
It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.
Yes, really.
As of this writing, Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy by targeting VPNs in the name of “protecting children” in A.B. 105/S.B. 130. It’s an age verification bill that requires all websites distributing material that could conceivably be deemed “sexual content” to both implement an age verification system and also to block the access of users connected via VPN. The bill seeks to broadly expand the definition of materials that are “harmful to minors” beyond the type of speech that states can prohibit minors from accessing—potentially encompassing things like depictions and discussions of human anatomy, sexuality, and reproduction.
This follows a notable pattern: As we’ve explained previously, lawmakers, prosecutors, and activists in conservative states have worked for years to aggressively expand the definition of “harmful to minors” to censor a broad swath of content: diverse educational materials, sex education resources, art, and even award-winning literature."

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
This is pure programming. Now when the customer gives you a requirement to mark the task as urgent if the document contains an attached image containing an oil leak... that's something simple programming is not going to solve.

People who self-host (anything, not just Mastodon). Are you running services at your house? If so, are you hiding them behind a VPS that tunnels to your home's IP?
CC @neil , because you're the first person I thought of that would be able to answer.
@Štěpán Škorpil @Neil Brown @The Last Psion | Alex Everything at my apartment. I'm Lucky to have /56 ipv6 range and single ipv4 addresses from my local Isp. Then I am hosting different things for more friends at the VPS.
práve som stál asi 9 minút v okolí večierky ktorá je od nás asi 150m za rohom... viete čo mi to pripomenulo? prečo mi C ostala/vá tak dlho pri srdci, bola "normálna" aj keď sme boli celkom mimo
👎 praha je porad prdel vychodu. misto toho aby ridice poslali jinudy — ostatne sedi v aute, neboli je to —, nebo provoz omezili, poslali celou silnici na chodnik. a chodce do prdele. v ulici mezi hlavnim a masarykovym nadrazim, kde vicemene nonstop proudi davy lidi. pro mnohe z nich to je taky prvni dojem z prahy
Přesně to jsem si cedil mezi skřípající zuby, když jsem tam potřeboval projet od hlaváku do hybernské s kočárem. Lidi ve vyhřátých plechovkách si to štrádujou po chodníku a já si to v tý zimě musel objet.
A ani značený to pro chodce nebylo!
Jdu od hlaváku až k zastávce, přejdu Bolzanovu a vidím že to dál nejde, protože chodník je celej pro auta. Přejdu zpět Bolzanovu, jdu podél ulice a hledám přechod abych se dostal přes Opletalovu. Po 150m to vzdávám, spokojím se s dírou v zábradlí a i s kočárem přebíhám na pankáče Opletalovu. Tam místo chodníku najdu takový ty rošty se zábradlím přes výkopy, pracně se tam motáme s kočárem mezi bloudícími turisty s kufry smeřujícími k nádraží. Hodně jsem si zanadával.
když jsem tam jel já, tak se muselo až za tu zastávku v opletalce. Jinak to všude bylo obehnaný stavebním zábradlím. Tam zas nebyl funkční přechod, ale já už byl dožranej a střihl jsem to tam.
Getting towards the end of the working week and I find myself writing QA steps like: "Open the application on iOS with TalkBack running." Nearly there...
This is TERRIBLE! Mozilla people who used to follow me here... Talk some sense into your coworkers/management!
People don't use Firefox because it's loaded with crap and AI, they use it because it's not corporate owned and not feeding all your browsing data into the data machine. AI is not of any benefit to add to your browser, no matter the hype.
Windows needs a built in AI model that all developers can use in their applications. Companies should learn from @Apple and add on device AI into their operating systems. #AI, #FoundationModels
Blind Telegram users. Under no circumstances should you update Telegram on iOS to the latest version. The developers have broken all accessibility. When using the VoiceOver screen reader, it is now impossible to type text messages or record voice messages. VoiceOver no longer focuses on these elements.
@lanodan yep, works natively on FreeBSD via the compat layer
The appimage should actually just work as-is, but it errors on fusefs for some reason. I haven't investigated that. I'm sure someone knows what the deal is and how to fix it.
I'm running Discord on FreeBSD at the moment and it was going well, but my most recent launch caused me to be caught in a loop preventing me from getting past the forced update screen.
You know the feeling when you rebooted a machine, and you keep retrying to connect over SSH, just to get a connection error? Or you keep pinging the machine until it's up?
There's an easier way!
Edit or create ~/.
I finally got some time to reconfigure my network. From now on #Turris #OmniaNG is my main gateway to the internet. Well, the software needs a lot of polish: 🪲 It has a wifi7 card, but I have to run it only in AC mode, or any connected client causes restart of all radios. I hope this will be fixed soon. 🪲 The display only worked on first boot, since than it only shows scrambled image or nothing. I don't mind it, as it's just a novelty for me. One day I would like to try render my own stuff maybe. ❓ It has two SFP+ ports, so I also bought 2×Turris metallic 1/2.5/5/10G SFP+ modules. One for older Omnia, one for Omnia NG. It makes the connection, but it runs 2.5G in one direction (that's ok, it's the maximum older omnia can handle) and 0.2G in the other direction. I don't understand why. Is it a hardware failure? Or software bug? Or technolohy incompatibilty of some kind? 🤷♂️ 🪲 Some LEDs are resetting brightness to max often. That's a bit annoying.
Das Lied ist nach wie vor sehr aktuell. Hier noch der Text dazu:
Endzeitstimmung
Es wär' 'ne wunderschöne Welt ohne Religion Michi Beck ist on the motherfuckin' microphone Geht mir weg mit eurem Stolz auf die eigene Nation Ihr seid nicht das Volk, ihr seid die Vollidioten Keiner will, dass seine Welt aus dem Gleichgewicht kommt Aber sind wir doch mal ehrlich, ist sie eigentlich schon Denn es geht hier nicht um irgendwelchen heiligen Kram Es geht in Wirklichkeit doch nur um reich gegen arm Reich gegen arm, arm gegen reich Hunger und Durst gegen Geiz Hundert haben nichts zu trinken, denn das Wasser wird knapp Während einer im Geld schwimmt wie Dagobert Duck Hat da wirklich wer gesagt, „Das Boot ist voll“ Und im Mittelmeer ist wieder wer von Bord gefallen Wo war denn unser Gott oder deren Allah? Ganz genau, alle tot, keiner da
Darum lasst uns die Hände heben Und dann stellen wir uns dem Ende entgegen Denn solange da nichts ist außer Hate Werden wir uns hier nicht wegbewegen Komm, lasst uns eure Hände sehen Und zusammen hier den Laden zerlegen Alle! (Na na na, na na na na na) Einmal Endzeitstimmung für jeden
Wer soll die Kuh jetzt vom gottverdammten Eis bekommen? Yeah, der Smu is on the motherfuckin' microphone Alle sind cool und modern und haben abgenommen Leider hast du jetzt von alldem gar nix abbekommen Ey f*ck, alles geht dir auf 'n Zeiger und stets Auf 'n Sack, auf die Eier, auf 'n Keks Und die Nerven sind nackt, du willst Biss und einen, der's packt Dabei ist es doch Schiss, was du eigentlich hast Ja, früher war's toll und alles war nasch Heute stört alles voll, ha, alles am Arsch Von wegen gute alte Zeit, von wegen alles verloren Das Problem von deinem Scheiß liegt doch zwischen den Ohren Hey, wer wird hier verarscht und wer glaubt jeden Mist? Denkst du echt, dass die Visage da das irgendwie ist? Einer ist doch immer schuld, solange du es nicht bist Gestern niemand, morgen tot, und dazwischen Populist Pop-Pop-Populist!
Darum lasst uns die Hände heben Und dann stellen wir uns dem Ende entgegen Denn solange da nichts ist außer Hate Werden wir uns hier nicht wegbewegen Komm, lasst uns eure Hände sehen Und zusammen hier den Laden zerlegen Alle! (Na na na, na na na na na) Einmal Endzeitstimmung für jeden
Onanie hat noch keinem einen Preis gewonnen Thomas D ist on the motherfuckin' microphone Die Ironie ist zum einen, ihr seid weit gekommen Denn am Ende geht's für keinen hier so weiter, ihr Honks Und dabei fragt man sich schon, wo wollt ihr eigentlich hin? Scheißegal, solang ihr damit Kohle verdient Doch es ist leider so, es gibt am Ende der Show Als Belohnung nur den Darwin-Award Aha, auch wenn die einen immer meinen, diese Welt ist im Arsch Und sich andere so verhalten, als gefällt ihnen das Es gibt 'n Leben danach, wie beweisen wir das Heh, Veganer voraus, alle beißen ins Gras Egal, wie scheiße es war, es führen Wege hier raus Führt ihr die Hände zusammen und spendet regen Applaus Kämpft für 'n Happyend und wenn das nicht drin ist Dann eben für 'n Happy-Finish
Na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na na

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.
But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

@ToniBarth Yup. Landlord's coming to fix it tomorrow so I'm hoping against hope it'll stop raining and/or my protections won't give in overnight. Some of the wires have been moved a little further away but not sure just how close to the sockets the leak is. It's been going for some time though, so I don't think it's that close - I'm typing on the computer right now and my S88 still works... really hoping it stays that way.
he is crazy #lazerpig #f111
