How long before the first email from a relative to Maduro arrives, asking for help in using a pile of cash that have stashed away and want to send to "your country"?
There's really no doubt about why Mr "Drill baby drill" is obsessed with Venezuela, and why he's buddy buddy with Jamal Khashoggi's murderer. aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/4/ve…

I'm willing to bet the answer is no but I wonder if there's a single country thats learned that letting their leaders carry around tracking devices controlled by Americans or using American's cloud infrastructure is a security concern yet.
Governments: we'd like to not depend on Americans but we just don't have any choice. There aren't any alternatives. Their local nerds: I just set up my Mastodon instance and also Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi.
There are some regulations big tech love because despite costing them, it's insignificant compared to the barrier of entry that they create for new entrants.
Seeing Poilievre praising the occupation of Venezuela by the US makes me happy our voters told him to fuck off (he lost his own riding). Imagine another Trump running Canada.
Trump is an idiot of course, but won't it benefit Ukraine? Like, Maduro's regime falls, USA start selling Venezuelan oil, oil prices fall, Russian economy goes boom faster because russia is a gas station and nothing more. Am I missing something? Also, it seems, Venezuelans are also rather happy about Maduro being defeated (at least what I read).
@menelion Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's gone, but invading a country and then running it instead of the opposition who got the votes isn't right at all. Stealing their oil is also wrong. This signals to others that invading and decapitating countries is fine as long as you can come up with reasons.
Also the best way to help Ukraine is to stop doing business with its allies, sanction own companies who still do business there, and send money and weapons to Ukraine.
I’m happy to share that my new iPhone reading app, Vox Libri, has just been released on the App Store. It’s built specifically to offer a comfortable, distraction-free, and fully accessible reading experience—especially for blind and low-vision readers, braille users, and anyone who benefits from a highly customizable interface.
What Vox Libri does • Read your way: on-screen reading, braille display support, or high-quality text-to-speech. • A reading screen you can truly tailor: font, size, spacing, colors, and themes. • Smart navigation through chapters, headings, pages, bookmarks, and document sections. • Hands-free reading with headphone controls. • Import and read common formats: TXT, PDF, DOCX, RTF, HTML, Markdown, and EPUB. • On-device AI features (when supported by your device): translation, summarization, and simplification. • Full English and Spanish support across the interface and reading experience.
If you try it, I’d really value feedback from this community—especially around VoiceOver/braille workflow, navigation, and anything that could be improved for real-world reading.
I tried this and really like it. My only issue with it is that it seems to add pauses when encountering new paragraphs, Where the normal TTS engine wouldn't be doing that. I'll probably right to the dev about this, otherwise really good and reminds me a lot of VoiceDream. The person who made this is also blind as well.

Yep, shure is. This is a quote from the @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com liveblog on the ongoing story in Venezuela: "■ Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it is “extremely alarmed” and called for “immediate clarification,” according to a statement posted S…
EVERYTHING ABOUT REMOVING MADURO IS ILLEGAL. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE "BUT." YOU DON'T GET TO EVALUATE WHETHER A WAR WAS JUSTIFIED DECADES AFTER THE FACT ONCE ALL THE DUST HAS SETTLED. THROUGH THAT DOOR LIES ENDLESS BLOOD AND IMPERIAL ADVENTURISM.
A sign of times: my computer is standing on top of my sound card rather than the other way around. Incidentally, both units end in M4, one being Mac Mini and another Motu. Guess which one is on top of which? :)
Ruszyła centralna e-rejestracja do wybranych lekarzy specjalistów, co w założeniu jest dobrym pomysłem, a w szczegółach nie działa.
"Niepoinformowani o nowym systemie rejestratorzy to również rzesze pacjentów, którzy się o nim nie dowiedzą. I tym samym z niego wypadną, przez co do specjalisty mogą czekać dłużej niż inni. Jak alarmowaliśmy w grudniu, dotyczy to przede wszystkim osób, które nie korzystają z IKP lub powiązanej z nim aplikacji w telefonie komórkowym. Mówiąc prościej - chcą skorzystać z centralnej rejestracji, ale przez telefon, nie internet. To głównie osoby starsze, które nie mają smartfonów, ale nie tylko. Przecież w prywatnych sieciach medycznych umawianie wizyty przez infolinię jest wciąż popularne. Niestety, w publicznym systemie takiej opcji nie ma.
Jak mówił mi w grudniu rzecznik Centrum e-Zdrowia Tomasz Kulas, seniorzy, by nie wypaść z centralnego systemu, mogą po 1 stycznia zadzwonić lub udać się do własnej przychodni. Tam rejestrator lub rejestratorka powinni zaproponować pierwszy dostępny termin w całej centralnej kolejce. W przychodniach słyszę jednak, że żadnych zapisów poza własną placówką zaproponować nie mogą. I nie wiadomo, czy i kiedy to się zmieni."
A ja już sobie teraz wyobrażam, jak wszystkim seniorom z rodziny będę teraz zakładał profile zaufane oraz IKP, choć połowa z nich maili nie potrafi ogarnąć.
Potrzebujemy w Polsce "punktów urzędowych", miejsc, gdzie po pójściu z dowodem pomogą nam załatwić dowolną sprawę. Zamiast tworzyć 30 różnych typów urzędów, każdy z osobną kancelarią i bez wymiany między-wojewódzkiej, obsługiwać wszystkie wnioski w nieoznakowanym budynku w Warszawie, a przyjmować z internetu lub dowolnego punktu w kraju.
Living in the U.S. is a little like being in a dissociative state. There's such a disconnect. Near me, new businesses and housing are going up like gangbusters, even though we know thousands have lost their jobs. Then I find out that my government has kidnapped the leader of another nation.
Everything feels brittle and shattered. And when everything breaks into jagged pieces, you're much more likely to cut yourself, even while cleaning it up.
Canadians, I hope you are contacting your MPs and the PM’s office to call for actions against US. Folk in other countries, whatever your equivalents are. It is ridiculous that sanctions haven’t already been called against the rogue US nation.
Citizens, we should stop buying all US products. Hold off on your Apple purchases for a year. Buy used if you need to. We have to shun that country.
Trump has claimed at the press conference now under way in Florida that the United States is going to run Venezuela for the time being -- although it’s unclear how that would be done.
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said. He has given no details. He just called Maduro a dictator and a drug kingpin
Trump said his secretary of state, #Marco #Rubio, has talked with the Venezuelan vice president, #Delcy #Rodriguez, today and mentions that she agreed to work with the US.
The US president said 👉 she has already been sworn in as president.
A few hours ago there were reports that she was in Russia, so the situation remains unclear at this moment and the press conference question and answer session with Trump is now bouncing around various semi-related topics.
As fragments of fact, as opposed to pure rhetoric and vague statements, come through we’ll piece them together.
“She’s, I guess, the president. She had a long conversation with Marco and said we’ll do what you need. She had no choice,” Trump just said, of Rodriguez.
Mis panas venezolan@s, en este momento el objetivo principal del enemigo es romper el tejido social del país para allanar el camino a la intervención militar, que ya tuvo sus primeras incursiones. Precisamente por eso, para quienes no formen parte activa de ningún plan de resistencia, lo más sensato y responsable es:
1. Mantener la calma. Si no vives cerca de un objetivo militar o estratégico, lo recomendable es permanecer en casa y evitar desplazamientos innecesarios.
TL;DR: “By 9:23 a.m. on Jan. 2, 2025, Canada’s 100 highest-paid CEOs had already earned what the average Canadian worker made in an entire year, according to a new report.”
You've been told before by your customers that having a pop at fellow privacy companies is a very ugly look. There's plenty of big tech to take pot shots at.
Your media/ marketing manager needs to reassess their approach as it's off putting.
how about pointing out the fact that neither you or Proton actually open source the backend of your services so there is still a huge amount of trust that users must hold in your projects cause they have no way to verify the code you are running on your servers...
i would love to see more privacy focused projects cooperate. How about joining forces with proton and others to make encrypted email easily available for everyone? We dont need more walled gardens...
To be honest with you, after this post, I am even more convinced to stay with Proton and use their products. Your marketing approach is very childish, and it makes me question your mental stability. This method of competition is appalling, especially since the duty is to cooperate and collaborate with each other.
Proton charges for everything, want a desktop app you have to pay for that want your deleted emails to disappear after 30 days you have to pay, both these things are included in the Tuta free account.
Whoever you are, the person running the socials, you haven't been doing a good job lately. You aren't creating a good image for your brand, and I know you won't bother giving this a thought.
@staff Hi, I haven't received a specific post created last Thursday by a bot I follow. Can you investigate why, please? the account that posted it is: @www.youtube.com.channel.ucha3dwydrqgbihbkldj3cpw and the post I haven't received starts with the following phrase, in Portuguese: Lançamentos internacionais no Brasil em Dezembro de 1980 when I go to my mastodon.social home timeline, the post isn't there as well.
So Nicolás Maduro Moros is accused by Trump of what Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, has just been pardoned from by Trump, if I understand things correctly? OK …
I've released at-spi2-core 2.59.0, now with documentation for the protocol. The documentation still needs some work, and I won't be surprised if I overlooked some formatting issues in the rendered version, but then alpha releases are alpha, or something.
Truly entering tin-pot dictator levels of absurdity when the feds will bomb a foreign country and abduct their president to answer to US criminal charges, but it's not permissible to bring our own president into court to answer US criminal charges.
