EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

  • a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
  • a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

Can you recommend a Mastodon instance that:
- is English-speaking
- isn't afraid of war content and attacks coming from Russia (experience)
?
After we started publishing dnesnaukrajine.cz/index-en.htm… in English, I thought I could also toot the English version. I post the Czech version on f.cz/@dnesnaukrajine, but I thought I could post the English version elsewhere because of the live feed. But where?

Zwift vs ROUVY 🚴‍♂️ – osobní srovnání

#Zwift je hlavně o gamifikaci a komunitě. Nabízí několik virtuálních světů – ikonickou Watopii (tu už asi každý někdy viděl na Stravě), ale taky Londýn, Paříž, Richmond a další. Je tu spousta eventů, závodů a společných jízd. Ideální, když chceš jezdit s lidmi, hecovat se a mít pocit „živé“ trati. Potkáš reálné jezdce i kamarády, třeba @pavelkout 🙂 Velké plus je plynulost – dojedeš okruh, zatočíš a jedeš dál. Klidně hodiny bez přerušení, žádné klikání, žádný výběr nové trasy.

#ROUVY jde úplně jinou cestou. Nabízí tisíce reálných tras ze slavných i méně známých míst po celém světě, s reálnými profily a videem. Skvělé pro cílený trénink, přípravu na konkrétní kopce nebo strukturované workouty. Co mi ale vadí: auta a ruch v záběrech, které občas rozbijí zážitek, a hlavně to, že po dojetí trasy musíš znovu vybírat další. Když chceš jet dál, musíš zastavit a klikat.

Cenově jsou si blízko. Zwift stojí 19,99 USD měsíčně nebo 199,99 USD ročně. ROUVY vyjde na 19,99 USD měsíčně nebo 179,99 USD ročně a nabízí i skupinové plány – při registraci s dalšími 4 lidmi na rok se dá dostat zhruba na 8,4 USD měsíčně, což už není tak hrozné.

Augment (which gave the #curl project free access) is changing pricing (again) in what seems to be a 10x increase.

Augment pricing changes from ‚messages‘ (number of answer which you control) to ‚credit‘ (which is effort controlled by Augment).

And this is probably still not enough to cover their real costs, not even speaking of profit.

Wherever you stand on the LLM debate, don‘t become dependant on those companies. Their business model sucks.

#curl

Tengo ciertas ideas acerca de lo que puedo hacer, como ciudadano, para reducir mi contacto económico con agentes que fomenten la línea política predatoria del gobierno de los #EstadosUnidos, pero quería preguntaros a vosotros. ¿Qué habéis hecho, qué creéis necesario hacer, qué os gustaría hacer pero creéis que no podéis, para «independizaros» de las barras y las estrellas?

Sentíos libres de difundir. Respuestas cínicas o contrarias a la tesis serán, como mínimo, ignoradas. ¡Gracias!

Hey friends — quick accessibility question for the blind Discord users out there.

I’m on macOS using VoiceOver and trying to set a custom Discord keybind for “Disconnect from Voice Channel.” I’ve added it in Settings → Keybinds, but I can’t tell if it’s actually saving, and the shortcut never fires when I’m in a call.

Has anyone gotten this working reliably on Mac?
If so, what key combo are you using, and did you have to do anything special to make it stick?

Any tips, workarounds, or confirmations that this is just a Discord bug would be super appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙏

The production on this track is insanely good. Love all the interesting ear candy and little details. On top of that it's just a really well written song. Jess Humphries - Spite

My thoughts are with everyone battling or affected by the bushfires and power outages on this 43°C day. I’m very thankful my air conditioning is still working and I’m relatively comfortable. If you’re the praying type, please pray for my daughter’s safe return from Sydney tomorrow. The fires are still active, and she may need to find an alternative route home to Melbourne.

AccessiWeather update and dev musings:

I just added a small improvement to accessiweather: being able to import/export settings to copy them from machine to machine. However, if I can convince the Toga/BeeWare team that portable apps can indeed exist on macOS as well as Windows, maybe they can implement something to allow it. Briefcase is the real issue, though it certainly has its issues though overall it makes it easy to build and package the app with a few commands, though the config method they have for all platforms to save user settings saves it where each platform usually does, E.G. %appdata% on Windows. With my WX implementation, my make.py script had to do a bunch more shit. If I did that over again, I'd probably try to switch to Nuitka instead of the abandoned pyinstaller.

Get ready for our 2026 National Convention in Austin, Texas! Austin is widely known as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” and boasts a vibrant arts scene with many public art displays throughout the city.

But Austin isn’t just fueled by creative energy. A strong technology sector thrives here, with many tech companies establishing headquarters in the city.

I just pushed an #NVDARC for iOS update. Here's what I've added this time: Adds a new feature I'm calling Gesture Presets. The idea is that you can set up your three finger swipe actions to send keys you want them to send, and then save them as a preset. Then, you can set up more keys, save that as another preset, etc. Then, a new picker item will appear in the connection window, where you can quickly switch between gesture presets on the fly. In addition to all of this, you can make different machines start with different gesture presets in the machine editor. Let me know what you think! testflight.apple.com/join/edg8…

Today has been a very strange day. Definitely had some #Thursday components, such as both of my ears completely becoming useless at different points, a fantastic headache, a couple of technical things that went wrong, and the ill-advised (by me) working on an experimental project that might crash and burn, but I won't know about that for a while.

Currently, both my ears are, for all intents, nonfunctional, so I am once again thankful for the existence of braille displays.

RE: infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/11…

Let me reiterate: ChatGPT Health is a dangerous product and a terrible idea. Keep it away from everyone you care about.


Don't, uh

Don't use this. Don't let your family or friends use it. If you see it in your neighborhood, bang pots and pans, whistle, and scare it off.

As I suspected it probably would be, my bug bounty submission of using an AI email summarizer was closed as being 'infeasible' and an 'acceptable risk' with AI.

But still - I think it's an interesting finding, so I have written it up thus: mike-sheward.medium.com/recrui…

TL;DR = I discovered how you can use Google Workspace's Google Gemini Email Summarizer to make a phishing attack seem more convincing, because it summarizes hidden content.

Using AI's, I've co-written a clever editor that cleans text and prepares it for use with index-tts. It kept getting more powerful, so even if you don't use it the way I do, it may be useful, or perhaps, you, being a human could bring the actual personal touch to it. Do whatever you like with any part of this project you like, just let me know for my own gratification, source included dropbox.com/scl/fi/1d2cuzegf60…

If you create an alternate gmail account, or any gmail account really, make sure you either configure 2FA with an authenticator app or add a recovery phone number.
The moment you sign into that account with an Android phone, the gmail app on iOS, the youTube app on iOS, or anything else that Google can send a code to, your account will force-enable 2FA without so much as a warning. The next time you try to sign in from a browser or another device, you sure as shit better have that phone with you, rather than hiding in a box 3000 miles away, otherwise you're not getting into that account.

hey wanna hear something surreal?

when i called 911 [on 9th of December] to report "a stalker being actively in my home right now", the cop on the phone spent like a minute trying to figure out if my ethnicity was "white - british" or "white - other"

lord only knows what they wanted that data for
