For some time now I've been working on an experimental vector-graphics renderer for use within Fuchsia.

Today I'm happy to share that forma is now available on GitHub and Crates.io.

We'll never fully understand the political agenda that popularized the removal of mask-wearing. It's the least expensive yet most effective way to protect the public.

Mask wearing should never have ended when there is currently over 500 deaths a day.

Well, I did it! "Technical Debt: An Analytical Approach" is live.

I recorded this course during a surprise move at the end of a long year of taking care of family stuff, and in the end I chose a timely release over expensive-looking production value.

It's just me, standing in my room or sitting on a chair. Teaching. But I stand behind every word I teach.

Time to head down to the MIDI room again to pull another file off the shelves. This time, it's a song called Winde me Up. The music box sound on the Roland SC-88 and newer is one of my favorite SOUNDS on the Sound Canvas. This file is quite a good demonstration of the sound. I feel like it works very well for cute compositions like this, and I prefer it over the newer music box that appears on the SC-8850. This was composed by @freakyfwoof. MIDI download (was composed on an SC-88ST Pro and will likely sound best on that unit or compatible software): dropbox.com/s/dvfkjhdy59smkf8/…

My Outreachy intern has been writing a little web service to gather performance data from librsvg over time. You can see their work at gitlab.gnome.org/aryacollectio…

This is similar in spirit to arewefastyet.com or the WebKit perf tracker; the idea is to make some well-defined benchmarks to see how the library behaves as development progresses.

I hope we can have something visible soon!

I decided to go through my videos to find the least viewed item on my channel, and it’s this one with 27 views. Nice weather sounds. Hear slight sounds of rain, cars driving through puddles, and some lovely thunder-booms.

Im Rat der Europäischen Union hat sich die Bundesregierung dafür eingesetzt, dass biometrische Überwachung teilweise erlaubt wird. Bürgerrechtsorganisationen kritisieren „gefährliche Schlupflöcher“ für neue Möglichkeiten der Massenausspähung. In ihrem Koalitionsvertrag hatte die Ampel noch versprochen, biometrische Erkennung im öffentlichen Raum auszuschließen.

yo tengo ambos en Thunderbird pero uso la firma por defecto con OpenPGP. No me gusta firmar indiscriminadamente todos los correos con el certificado de la FNMT porque incluye mi nombre completo y mi DNI y según que destinatarios no me interesa que tengan tantos datos.
GPG en el iPhone es más complicado, necesitas una aplicación intermediaria. El certificado de la FNMT en cambio se puede instalar sin problemas.

This is definitely a good example where short-term MBA-types aim to maximize revenue without realizing that they are burning the "good will" the company fostered in the first place.

This reminds me of how Hershey's makes chocolate.

First their research lab makes a new chocolate bar, using all the best ingredients.

Once they have it perfected, they bring in consumers to rate it.

Then they cheapen the ingredients, and do a taste test again.

And they repeat that process until they have found the absolute cheapest version of the chocolate bar that consumers still thinks tastes good enough to buy.

h/t to @bhawthorne , who originally passed that info on to me.

Friend of mine emailed me a very interesting article: informatics of the oppressed: logicmag.io/care/informatics-o…

Essentially it discusses the issue of algorithms, not from an abolitionist viewpoint, but from the stance that they are necessary and that it is possible to build ones that benefit us. It uses examples from Cuban libraries and Latin American experiments in communication and indexing.

So, just to avoid any confusion, when you run Windows 11, the product you are using is Windows 10. The Windows version is 2009 (which of course doesn't fall between versions 2008 and 2016, duh). So if you are using Windows Server 2022, the product is called 2022 but the version is 2009 because those two numbers seem like the same but they aren't.

The "Windows Current Version" for Windows 11 is 6.3. But don't use that number because Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 were also version 6.3. Windows 8 was 6.2.

Or if you want, just use build number 22621, also known as 22H2. The version 22H2 update is also called the "Windows 11 2022 update" because there never was a 22H1. But at least they changed their naming scheme and didn't call it Fall update because it was spring in half the world when it came out, heh.

I am looking for someone to take over the alt-text.org project. There's a working prototype and lots of low hanging fruit to start with, and I'll be available for any help you need.

One larger task is to rewrite the backend in Rust. It's primarily CPU bound and Node is not ideal. I've just released an implementation of the image matching algorithm used in Rust, which was always the biggest hurdle: github.com/alt-text-org/image-…

If you'd like to hear more, please DM.

Boosts welcome

The #Fedora Project uses @matrix for our instant messaging needs (with IRC bridges also).

While the default experience is with #Element, there are several other neat Matrix clients you can use.

#Fractal, @neochat, and #Nheko are some great options to check out!

Then you can check out Fedora's Matrix room as well: matrix.to/#/#fedora:fedoraproj…

The Organization for Ethical Source, stewards of the Contributor Covenant & Hippocratic License, are launching a working group to develop an Ethical Terms of Service.

Our aim is to empower smaller platform operators (e.g. Mastodon admins) to be ready for complex moderation & governance. The Ethical ToS will reflect best practices based on real-world experience, and adoption will signal a commitment to the safety of vulnerable users.

Frage zur Funktionalität von Foren für verschiedene Fediverse-Dienste


@Friendica Support
Ich habe ein öffentliches Forum erstellt, also einen Account mit diesen Einstellungen:

Dabei bin ich nach dieser Anleitung vorgegangen:
wiki.friendi.ca/docs/forums
Hier wird ja erläutert, wie Foren für Friendica-User funktionieren.
Ich frage mich nun, wie es mit anderer Fedi-Software aussieht:

Mastodon-User können mW keine neuen Beiträge erstellen, sie können nur den Foren-Account taggen, der dann als Verteiler diesen Beitrag (automatisch?) teilt. Und sie können dem Account folgen, und erhalten dann die Beiträge des Forum bzw. die von ihm geteilten.
Es verhält sich also ähnlich wie aguppe.
- Ist das soweit richtig?
- Und wie sind die Funktionen für andere User, bspw. von #Misskey #Calckey #Hubzilla #Pleroma #Lemmy ?

"Wenn Du keine Ads & kein Tracking haben willst, nimm die Kaufversion der App."

Nette Theorie. In der Praxis sieht es laut meinen Statistiken (android.izzysoft.de/stats) so aus, dass fast jede zweite Bezahl-App mit Trackern und jede fünfte noch mit Werbemodulen daher kommt. Meine Empfehlung daher:

"Wenn Du nicht willst dass Deine Apps Dich tracken und mit Werbung zuballern: Installiere sie von @fdroidorg f-droid.org".

Da werden Sie geholfen! Spenden an die Entwickler gern trotzdem 😉

in reply to skl1

@skl1 so pauchal in 500 Zeichen ist schwer. Kurz: F-Droid compiliert die Apps aus den Sourcen. Proprietäre Tracking/Ad Module sind da nicht erlaubt, kommen also nicht rein.

Detaillierter hier: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…

🇩🇪 Während sich Protest gegen ein Schweizer Gesetz zur verpflichtenden Alterskontrolle durch Youtube und Gaminganbieter regt, will die EU mit der #Chatkontrolle Messenger-, E-Mail- und Chatdienste sowie Appstores zur Alterskontrolle verpflichten. Es droht das Ende der Anonymität und Leaks von "Kinderlisten" - unverantwortlich!
