I don't know what's worse.

Just randomly thinking about that car I used to pass every week on the way to and from my child psychiatrist's office in 1995, with a missing door. Lots of tape where the door should have been.
I wonder how that person's life turned out.

I’m moving away from Facebook and Instagram, as they no longer feel like the places where I want to spend my energy.
I’m a photographer working across film and digital — people, places and weddings — and I’d love to connect with others who care about analogue photography.

Comitis Capital hat den Kauf von Threema vereinbart – final abgeschlossen ist das laut Mitteilung noch nicht (Closing im Jan. 2026 geplant).
Und ja: Threema bleibt weiterhin in der Schweiz (Sitz), aber „Schweizer Souveränität“ ist am Ende auch eine Frage von Eigentümerstruktur, Governance und Transparenz.

Wie hast du deiner Familie und Freunden erklärt wie XMPP funktioniert?
Jedem, dem ich auch nur davon erzähle, ist ab dem Punkt komplett überfordert, wenn es darum geht, dass man seinen Server frei wählen kann und ich komme nicht mal an den Punkt, wo man sich seinen Klienten selbst auswählen kann.
Aber heutzutage sind Menschen von ihrer Freiheit irgendwie komplett überfordert und das in vielen Gebieten.
Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar, weil ich möchte gerne mehr Menschen zu XMPP bringen.
Apparently to renew a passport in Canada one has to pay a tax to Adobe, and Microsoft or Apple.
What kind of fucking elbows up is that?
How about you make a form in the web browser and if you need use to have the PDF generate the PDF as the result?
Requiring a single (American) vendor is already a violation of procurement rules. Why isn't it in the communication with citizen?
Non-withstanding that the software IS spyware.
I've been beaten by the LAPD. I lived in Berkeley in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I've been tear gassed and watched police push people backwards off of highway overpasses. I knew and understood many Black Panthers.
I am sick and tired of Kumbaya songs. I am sick and tired of turn-the-other-cheek reactions to current affairs in the US.
But I am also a lawyer, sworn to peaceful methods.
What do I do?
What strikes me is the age old method of ostracism - practiced in ancient Athens, written about in plays like Lysistrata, and rendered into strong force by churches through the practice of excommunication.
We ought to perform civil excommunication on ICE agents - do not sell or rent products to them in stores, do not rent hotel rooms to them, do not fund them, treat them like modern day lepers. Businesses should make it clear that they will never be hired for a job. Do not adopt Jesus' policy of acceptance of them.
Spread their names so that we may cut them off from society.

It attempts to fit solutions from potentially very different domains together with corrective code "epicycles" until it satisfies its context, the user, and tests.

Good news, i hope to see other project do the same (if technically possible ... of course) @CachyOS @fedora @opensuse @ubuntu @archlinux @flathub @IzzyOnDroid @nixos_org
YES YES YES! #Gentoo is planning to ditch #GitHub in favor of #Codeberg. They mention the continued attempts to force #Copilot into the workflows as a reason. https://www.gentoo.org/news/2026/01/05/new-year.Wuzzy (Cyberplace)
perfect thanks for the clarification, you are right, my brain must have bugged 😂 👍
edit corrected the message :)
No prob (as it feels like 98% of everything is captured there by MS, as often also on the desktop, such things can happen far too easy).
Besides: not only am I AT Codeberg, I'm IN, being a Codeberg e.V. member. Actually, I almost was a founding member back then. Did you know the original name was TeaHub? 😉
So, we're working closely together. Codeberg also runs one of our mirrors 🤗
but sadly the only apps, i would have used izzy on droid where removed due to their author demand or are not here :
- Bitwarden
- Molly
- Steam apk
- Cromite (webrowser)
it's not bashing i understand you respect author decision, just find it sad :)
May try to ind a simple way to make a fdroid repo (without their app), and host them myself.
any recommendation on how to start up a basec one ?
because their doc, are confusing, and their "use the flatpak" don't work as the flatpak don't even start.

Going to @fosdem this year? Me too! I'll even be babbling about the work we've done over the past couple of years to support Microsoft Exchange in @thunderbird - that'll be Saturday midday in the Modern Email devroom.fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event…

@thunderbird Hey TB Team. I really never need HTML-formatting in event descriptions. How can I turn that off? It is really bugging me to see format options there.
Thank you.

Dear Fediverse,
I remember a while back there was a petition asking the Government of Canada to setup their own fediverse instance and the reply was really off topic. I have lost the link. Anyone remembers?
Perhaps the single most certain thing about generative AI is that developing "skill" with prompting AI has very little value as any sort of long term "investment".
* If the technology improves rapidly, any tricks you learn now will soon be irrelevant.
* If the technology stagnates, it just won't be nearly as useful or important as the people preaching about it claim. (If it's even useful at all for the things you might want to use it for.)
