Seit fünf Jahren lässt #DATAGROUP gebrauchte Firmen-IT von afb aufbereiten.
Rund 42.000 Geräte wurden seither entweder wiederverwendet oder recycelt. Die ReUse-Quote liegt bei 70 Prozent. Die Partnerschaft spart Ressourcen, senkt Emissionen und schafft inklusive #Arbeitsplätze.
Gute Sache prinzipiell. Aber leider bekommt man bei afb keine Geräte ohne vorinstalliertes Windows, wie mir vor einiger Zeit auf Nachfrage mitgeteilt wurde.
Also we are not sure yet if this is going to happen or not, but we have decided we want to merge our accounts together. So @preciousoso, and the rest of us can post on one account. Mainly so that we dont have to maintain two, and also because we want to just be us. not just her and then us, or not just us, and she is separated. So I am not sure how that will work. - Lily
Yaa, that's a good thought you're considering, we did that as well, saves time we could spend on something else instead of organising, switching between accounts, account management, time in seconds tends to be precious, so optimal solution was achieved, finally. With everyone's agreement. TM.
Cold, much? Damn sir. By the way did I remember correctly you have a TP-Link router? If so, do you want to test my script for making it much nicer to use it? If it wasn't you then I don't know who it was.
Well if you feel like installing Tamper Monkey for your browser and enabling user scripts, you can try the script I had ChatGPt rustle up this morning. If you're seeing Void0? Yeah. That's what my router shows. Doesn't mean it's definitely TP-Link but if you log into it and look near the bottom, you should be able to find out if that is the case or not.
It's a browser extension. If you can install it and configure it to allow user scripts you should be good to go. Also have a script that fixes some of the shortcut keys in WhatsApp web if you ever use that, instead of the main desktop app.
@FreakyFwoof ok, I got it installed, now I just need to figure out how to configure it to allow for user scripts, then I can get the script from you, somehow install that, and I should be good to go, but yes, it is installed.
OK, here's the moment of truth. You click this, you'll get a prompt asking if you want to install, you do that, you visit your router page, go to somewhere you know there should be checkboxes and we see what happens. You should also be able to press Control Shift K and it should say something if the script is active, and it detects you're on a TP-Link router... onj.me/tplink-router-accessibi…
THe USA (as well as the rest of the world, maybe not including China) would have a serious problem if there was no internet. Systems would fail. Airplanes wouldn't fly. Powerr and heating would eventually go out. Grocery shopping would be impossible (no credit cards, no ATMs, no ability to restock). Same with telecoms (they're more resilient than everybody else, but they'd likely succumb to the same fate sooner or later).
I propose we put a 100% on American software and SaaS.
Your Adobe cloud ? 100% tariff. Your Copilot 365 ? 100% tariff. Your Windows license ? 100% tariff. Your Apple Studio license or subscription ? 100% tariff.
But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.
Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.
Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.
The thing about saying on the Fediverse what our politicians should do is that we know they won't even hear it as we are not the CSAM generator and nazi bar they cherish so much.
Hi everyone. It's a balmy -5 right now. Later the windchill is expected to be -35. Needless to say this woman is not going anywhere. Right now I'm listening to Highway 61 revisited, one of my favorite radio shows on WUMB. Albert O is so good at presenting some lesser played classic music. Right now he's doing a Neil Diamond set as it's his 85th birthday. I'm just going to read, knit and maybe watch a movie later. Have a good day and staywarm and safe!
Sounds like a plan. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of windchill in my life. (I remember Eloquence pronouncing windchill like "windkill," which seems appropriate sometimes. I wonder if it still does.) Sometimes I used to have to walk to the commuter rail station with a windchill of -15 F when I was up there, and it wasn't fun, but I'm pretty sure that was the most cold I've ever had to experience. We're getting freezing rain here, and people are advised to stay off the roads if at all possible. I was going to go to a meetup later today, but now it's happening over Zoom. It might get down into the teens in some places, and it's kind of an issue mostly because we don't normally prepare for that kind of cold. Freeze shelters need to open, pipes aren't very well insulated, and so on. But it isn't nearly as cold as what you're getting up there.
Someone might know of a way to do this, perhaps it already exists or I might need to have it coded.
I am looking for a tool for practicing my poems. I want something where I can set say...a 2 minute timer and get a warning 10 seconds before the timer ends. Any apps/programs I can do this with already? Please repost for reach.

I want to pitch in on what @randahl said in the attached post.
During my youth I was raised on a diet of U.S. culture: the Ponderosa Ranch felt as familiar as the bridge of the USS Enterprise.The good night to John boy was often also the signal for me that I had to go to bed now. From the moment I earned my own money, I started spending as many vacations in the United States as my budget allowed.
Most of the books I have read and I am reading have been written by U.S. authors. Most of the movies and TV series I see were made by Hollywood companies. A significant part of my verbal and written output is in a language different from my mother tongue.
Today I would say that my command of the English language, my knowledge of U.S. history and culture easily surpasses that of the current commander in chief.
But other than with Randahl, the cracks in the relationship started to show much earlier. When I came to the U.S. in October 2001, it felt like a different country. I no longer felt welcome and therefore no longer came visiting.
A friend of mine, who was working in the U.S. at that time and who was on his way to earning a U.S. citizenship was told by a border agent: "Shut up little shit, I can do with you whatever I want." His sin was to point out the regulations my friend knew much better than that agent. He terminated his job at the next occasion.
There were many such moments and every time, another fatigue fracture in my relationship to the United States appeared.
Trump is for me just the nail in the coffin. It is very big and tough nail, because he was elected a second time. Everyone knew what kind of man they elected. And they chose to do so nonetheless. I cannot and will not forget that.
I see the protests, I hear the voices of dissent but I also see the big passive masses, that accept what is happening. It is the same kind of silence my ancestors emitted when Hitler started his run.
Yes, I still have a lot of friends and other people in the U.S. I feel attached to and care a lot about. But for the country as a hole, I no longer give a damn fuck.
In my job "Pacta sunt servanda" is a very important phrase. I cannot do my work without trust.
I am convinced that the current U.S. will not abide any contract, any agreement, any promise if the big orange baby doesn't see a personal advantage in it. And I cannot have a relationship with someone I do not respect and trust.
Oh great, it had been a few weeks since the latest threats

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'
"China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life," Trump said.
let them have it. 100% on auto parts for US cars? Not our problem. 100% on lumber and wood pulp? Not our problem. 100% on our dirty oil? Not our problem.
lol I see Miller and Bessent are back to pulling the puppet strings again
pretty big shift from last week, when Trump was asked about Carney making a deal with China: “Well, it’s OK. That’s what he should be doing. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that.”
@hub it's just like you were saying when it comes to auto parts & oil. drastically raising the price of cars & gasoline right before the US midterms? bold strategy Cotton 😂
@hub the US gov't + the Big Three automakers are already doing a great job of wrecking themselves too, even before any additional tariffs. this writeup talks about how Ford & GM could end up producing only pickups and SUVs for the US market, while the rest of the world moves on
Yeah, I remember that email client. I used it with my custom domain. That time, your offer of privacy, security and usability for just 1€ or so per month was simply the best in the market 👍
If you think Hollywood has always been the bastion of free speech, defending, I have a bridge to sell you.
Notably read about the "Hayes Code" established by a Republican Chairman of the now MPA.
Or the Hollywood "blacklist" (that's how it was called) banning suspected communist writer, directors, actors, from being hired. "Cancelling" was already happening.
When Replicans complain about cancelling, remember it always points back to them.
Dass unsere Politiker immer noch munter auf der CSAM- und NCII-Plattform X unterwegs sind, lässt mich vermuten, dass CSAM als Begründung für die Chatkontrolle eventuell nur vorgeschoben war.
Das ist für mich leider eh sehr offensichtlich. Sonst müssten sie sich ja auch nach den Empfehlungen des Deutschen Kinderschutzbundes richten, der sich ja auch bereits seit Jahren gegen die Chatkontrolle ausspricht.
Politiker sind oft (aber anscheinend leider überwiegend) völlig blind über die wahren Motive für die #Chatkontrolle . Die wurden ja auch hinreichend aufgedeckt (woraufhin immerhin "mein" CDU-MdEP GEGEN die Chatkontrolle gestimmt hatte). Aber puh, ist ja inzwischen auch schon wieder Jahre her. Sowas vergißt man schnell.. *rolleyes*
Wrt my last boost, this is something that maybe happens in Europe, but I don't think that I've heard of it happening in the U.S. before, at least not in recent history.
Homeland Security authorities were reportedly telling the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Friday not to use the word "ice" in its public messaging as a monster storm was expected to hit the United States.
Yet another reminder that when it comes to data privacy, Microsoft cannot be trusted -- and, worse, its management is an eager ally of the fascists who run our government.
@pavelkout Jo už jsem taky uvažoval změně. Tohle dovezla dneska ráno tchýně. Budu se muset ohlédnout po dobrém nealku. JInak já mám suchý únor už šest let 😀
Ja, auch heute, 45 Jahre nach dem Start des Jahres der Behinderer. Vielleicht mehr als je zuvor.
Wir als Behindertenbewegung müssen wieder radikaler werden. Lauter. Unverschämter.
Wir alle müssten jeden Ableismus stärker kontern und jedes hohle Versprechen klar benennen, wie es z.B. das einzelne Heldy das letztes Jahr beim Global Disability Summit in Berlin während der Rede des damaligen Bundeskanzlers tat.
Ich war in Rheinland-Pfalz das erste Kind, das an meiner Grundschule nach einer freien Entscheidung meiner Eltern aufgenommen und inklusiv beschult werden durfte.
Mitte der 2000er.
Aktion Sorgenkind heißt jetzt Aktion Mensch. Sonst ändert sich nix.
Ende der 90er.
Art. 3 Grundgesetz wurde um behinderte Menschen erweitert.
Das sind alles schöne Erfolge auf dem Papier, und auch die Gesellschaft scheint immer mehr die Diskriminierung von Behinderten abzulehnen.
Aber große, wirklich strukturelle Reformen hat es nie gegeben in den letzten 45 Jahren. Im Gegenteil.
Die letzte große „Protestwelle“ gab es vor ein paar Jahren unter „#NoIPReG“, seit unter Gesundheitsminister Spahn Behinderte mit Intensivpflege aus ihren privaten Wohnräumen in sog. „besondere Wohnformen“ gezwungen werden können.
Stattdessen sind wir hier im Fedi und wenn jemand sagt „Ey, mach Alternativtext, dann können Blinde teilhaben“ sind oft andere Leute wie „Juckt mich nicht hahaha ich block dich jetzt“ oder wenn wir irgendwie anders frech sind, kommt sofort die Tonpolizei um die Ecke und sagt uns, wir sollen das doch bitte freundlicher formulieren, denn nur so würde man uns ernst nehmen.
Wir haben derzeit keine aggressive Vertretung mehr, die Utopien für das Leben mit Behinderung zeichnet. Wir leben in Zeiten, in denen die Vorsitzenden der größten Selbstvertretungsverbände keine Probleme mit dem Behindertenbeauftragten der Bundesregierung haben, der selbst nur ein Token ist, weil „wir kennen ihn, er kennt uns, wir können arbeiten“.
Wer erzählt uns von den virtuosen, blinden Sterneköchen? Von den rollstuhlnutzenden Mechaniker*innen? Von den tauben Richter*innen?
Wer erzählt uns von den Kindern mit Trisomie 21, die nicht abgetrieben werden? Von den ME/CFS-Patient*innen, deren Krankheit endlich sinnvoll erforscht und geheilt wird? Von den Autist*innen, die in der Gesellschaft ohne zu maskieren existieren können?
Niemand tuts. Und warum? Weil das System uns überhaupt nicht die Gelegenheit dazu gibt.
Als ich das letzte Mal hier von blinden Sterneköchen sprach, sind darunter andere Blinde geslided, die sagten, das wäre unmöglich.
Mal ne Frage an Leute, die ihre eigene Website oder Fediverse-Instanz betreiben:
Habt ihr zufällig schon Erfahrungen gesammelt mit Anbieterinnen, die ladungsfähige Adressen vermieten? Für's Impressum? Oder nehmt ihr eure Privatadresse? Oder gar keine? (Falls ihr nicht gerade einem Verein, Unternehmen oder Behörde seid)
Privatadresse. Anbieter für ladungsfähige Anschriften sind wirklich sehr teuer (~100 Euro im Monat).
Bei der Impressumspflicht muss der Gesetzgeber dringend nachbessern. Für Einzelunternehmer im Homeoffice ist das komplett unverhältnismäßig.
Auf der anderen Seite bringt mir das als Verbraucher auch überhaupt nichts zu wissen, dass Meta in 1 Mark Zuckerberg Drive, San Francisco, California seinen Sitz hat. Verklagen kann ich die trotzdem nicht.
Das Behörden gelegentlich meine Anschrift brauchen kann ich ja nachvollziehen. Aber das kann man auch nicht öffentlich lösen. Bei der BNetzA bin ich als Telco ja zB sowieso gemeldet.
@daniel Dann sollten sich diese Kleinunternehmer auch angewöhnen, wenn sie mail versenden auch eine ernünftige Signatur zu verwenden. Die Impressum ist oft sehr sinnvoll bei der Anlage im ERP System und zum Stammdaten Abgleich.
Nicht unbedingt. Gäbe die Möglichkeit sich bei der Post n Postfach zu besorgen was je nachdem 4-5€ im Monat kostet und man dann als Anschrift angeben kann. Nachteil muss man halt jedes mal dann hinfahren / laufen aber wär ne Möglichkeit die Privatadresse geheim zu halten. ^^
Ihre Post vertrauensvoll aufbewahren und mit der Briefankündigung schon vorher wissen was ins Postfach eingelegt wird. Jetzt ein Postfach in der Nähe finden und gleich online beantragen.
maybe the #gnome project needs a better distinction between what's an official gnome app and what's not
just saw someone get disgusted at the whole gnome project just because someone else made a GNOME-style app for talking to large language models, and a tech news website called it a "GNOME app"
Ironically, core GNOME apps have generic names. Plus, you can’t use GNOME branding unless you’re part of the GNOME project. If you target the GNOME environment, though, you are a “GNOME app”, in the same way you have iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, etc
Thanks @prosodyim for this awesome XMPP server! I’ve been running pimux.de for 10 years now, and the experience from an administrator’s point of view has been pretty awesome!
