This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.
The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.
The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
I have a #gnome question that's been bugging me for a LONG time.
I love gnome, but hate that 99% of the file picker dialogs won't give image previews. However Firefox somehow DOES.
Is this a setting somewhere? How can i get all my apps to use this dialog, or can I? Mostly flatpaks i'm using

bay area folks! pay your land tax to the sogorea te’ land trust in the east bay. all proceeds go to supporting indigenous led land work on ohlone land.
🧵 These robots are also flower pots, they are self-powered by the plant that grows inside. I had started to build them a small environment from branches and string where they could garden in peace but I have too much work to finish...

And its happening in Germany too after France banned it last week! #Microsoft355 has finally been banned from schools!

The central German state of Hesse’s local Data Protection Authority (DPA) has banned the use of Microsoft 365 in its schools, citing concerns over privacy violations.Vuk Mujovic (Best of Privacy)
B-b-but you can trust them! There's an agreement, right? So MS committed to storing data on EU servers only. That should be fine, right?
"The ban comes after Microsoft terminated its special arrangement for German users. Under the arrangement, Microsoft allowed Germany to hold its servers locally. This ensured that no user data left the country."
Huh? Terminated? One-sided? They promised! (but then refused the marriage 🙊) "They trust me. Dumbf*cks…" 💨

We can never go backwards.

When was that?
When interracial marriage was illegal? When a little black girl couldn’t attend school with white kids?
When a woman couldn’t get a credit card without her husband’s consent?

Stellungnahme der AG Energiepolitik der Piratenpartei Deutschland
Der Vorschlag zur Strompreisbremse ist in der vorliegenden Form nicht zielführend und verdient diesen Namen nicht. Durch diese Maßnahmen wird der Strompreis nicht gesenkt, er wird nur vor den Verbraucher:innen teilweise versteckt.
Bezahlen werden wir alle ihn letztlich über Steuern. Ob der Mechanismus zur Abschöpfung der „Übergewinne“ funktioniert und juristischen Bestand haben wird, ist fraglich, insbesondere da er auch rückwirkend erfolgen soll. Der aktuelle Zustand ist, dass die Strompreise an der Börse etwa wieder auf dem Niveau vor dem Ukrainekrieg sind. Hier ist primär das Problem, dass die Preissteigerungen an die Kunden weitergegeben wurden, die Kostensenkung aber noch nicht angekommen ist.
Für eine zukünftige Absicherung gegen solche unkontrollierten Preisanstiege sollte die Preisfindung an der Strombörse modifiziert werden, so dass exzessive Preissteigerungen eines kleinen Teils des Stromes nicht mehr die Kosten für den gesamten Strom setzen. Eine Deckelung von besonders teurer Erzeugung und Finanzierung der realen Kosten über eine Umlage (analog zur EEG Umlage) würde hier einen wirksamen Mechanismus zur Preisbremse schaffen, ohne die Marktmechanismen außer Kraft zu setzen.

Wow, this graph shows how different nixpkgs is in term of number of packages and freshness. I knew this should be the case, but I didn't expect such a gap. repology.org/repositories/grap…
Debian could be better, but many packages are abandoned and it is still hard to salvage them (and it's quite more work than an occasional PR to update it).
Also, nixpkgs has a bot to help keeping packages up-to-date, so you just have to test it once there is an update.
Experts Condemn The UK Online Safety Bill As Harmful To Privacy And Encryption

Zum Teil erhöht sich der Preis Dank Erzeugung durch Gas UM 130% - also auf deutlich mehr als das Doppelte. Obwohl erneuerbare deutlich günstiger sind.
Über sieben Millionen Stromkunden sind zuletzt über massive Preiserhöhungen informiert worden. Regional fällt das zwar unterschiedlich aus. Doch teuer dürfte es in den kommenden Jahren überall sein.tagesschau (tagesschau.de)
Hi! I'm the Megalodon – the new name for my fork of Mastodon for Android. I exist because the official app is lacking many important features, which I intend to bring back!
Some features include:
• Unlisted posting
• Federated timeline
• Alt text viewer
• Bookmarks
• Pinning posts
• Handling follow requests
… and many more!

Just issued a brand new subdomain and in 70 seconds got scanned for a whole bunch of (presumably) commonly exposed/vulnerable URL paths, a whole other random TLS config probing by a range of IP addresses
The message about shortened URLs from @feditips makes us think to a #Fedilab feature.

What it means when people exhort non-White peeps to “start your own instance” or go to another more suitable one—-the digital version of White Flight/segregation.
“[Mastodon risks] ghettoizing the Black community in a federated space. All of the Black people go here and [other] instances have the option of engaging with them or deeding from them.]”

I am making the bold call! This is one of the best Christmas songs to have been written and recorded during my lifetime.
Taylor Swift first released this as a very catchy pop song. But this version, recorded in the famous Abbey Road studios, makes it not just a pop ear worm. It’s now a Christmas standard.
I know what I’ll be voting for when the #MushroomFM holiday countdown opens for voting. Amazing stuff.

Hello Tooters!
I was hoping for some help during my transition from the bird place. Having left that dumpster fire behind and found a very welcoming community here, there's really only one thing I'm missing so far, real-time news feeds.
Is there a tip or trick anyone can share to help increase the stream of information I see?
As a reward, here's a puppy. If you can find him, he's yours.

Yeah, a grid view woudl work great. Just really slows my workflow down not being able to visually scan these.

in reply to Emmanuele Bassi • • •@ebassi Totally get it. I really look forward to the GTK4 version of it. The good news is, when gnome does something, they do it proper.
So i'll be patient and happy i'm on Unstable Nix so i'll get it sooner than later hah
