lots of people I like a lot on mstdn.social. However they also have Charlie Kirk. I'm blocking the whole instance. You should too. #Fediblock

Edit: His account HAS been suspended. However, in the Tusky app and in the Megalodon app, his account is visible, as are his posts, and I can still reply to him.

@megalodon and @Tusky this seems like a serious problem

Way more interesting and healthy fediverse news is happening in the shadows and is barely getting discussed! Discourse has federation between different instances of itself and other #fediverse software such as Mastodon working!

Attached is a demo video from Angus McLeod via their announcement here: meta.discourse.org/t/activityp…

Did you know? You can add new features to #LibreOffice using Python, and make extensions! Our development blog explains all: dev.blog.documentfoundation.or… #foss #OpenSource

LibreOffice reshared this.

I didn’t realize that @threemaapp had their own #fdroid repository¹ for a while. Now - through the magic of reproducible builds - Threema Libre is even available in the official @fdroidorg repository.
That’s pretty cool! I like it when developers work with the open source community instead of having nothing but despite for the »FOSS libertarian dream«².

Sorry about that, we'll work on it for future releases.

Meanwhile, the release notes for Tusky 24 are available at github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/rele…

@NVAccess Has the release of the first NVDA 2024.1 beta been delayed? And any word on whether or not it will fix the newly found Notepad bug, which is a P2 one? github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…
in reply to Amir has moved

Re the beta, no, we're just not rushing it. We froze master to beta to set that as the transition point, but we're conscious that we will be light on over the new year period and don't want to put out a flakey beta just before then :) Re the notepad issue, we're still looking into it. If we got a fix shortly, it likely would get in. I haven't talked to our devs about it. If I find out more I'll let you know :)

Good instant ramen rivals fancy ramen restaurants in the U.S.: it’s not rocket science, you can already buy the instant noodle version of top rated ramen restaurants in Tokyo!

Sun Noodles, which makes the noodles for most top U.S. ramen restaurants, has these excellent packets like this very good tsukemen I’m having: sayweee.com/en/product/Sun-Noo…

Learn to make chashu and a ramen egg and no more spending $30 at a not so good fancy restaurant (there aren’t many in SF that I rate highly)

I know many people are skeptical of instant ramen, but it’s really gotten very good, especially the ones from Asia.

My little trick is I find ramen packets *in the freezer or fridge* at Japanese supermarkets, and if they have a picture of a man on it, I buy it. It’s usually the instant version of a Japanese ramen celebrity, which is a good place to start. Sometimes they’re shelf stable and in gift packs. Giving famous ramen gift packs is a big souvenir category now.

The major diff between Asian convenience food and American convenience foods is: I think people expect the Asian convenience food to actually stand on its own in flavor, and not just be a worse version of the real thing.

I always tell people if you want to try Indonesian food, start with Indomie. It’s better than most Indonesian restaurants in the west.

There’s an instant Lanzhou noodle soup I buy in a pack. The noodles and the soup are better than Chinese noodle soup restaurants *in SF*.
