🍞 In 2018, I updated the #Django contributor tutorial to walk readers through an imaginary ticket adding a make_toast() function.

So far, about 60 new contributors have accidentally made a full PR with their results: github.com/django/django/pulls…

I bet you some future LLM product will recommend adding django.make_toast() for real because it looks like such a popular suggestion!

FOSDEM 2024 - Thunderbird: How to Exchange Rot For Rust

Having decidedly too much fun playing with ancient #PGP artifacts.

Note the two version 2 public keys from 1992. They were created just over a year after Phil Zimmermann first released PGP (on 6 June 1991), deep in the crypto war era.

These keys predate the #OpenPGP name by around half a decade.

At over 31 years old, nation-state actors can definitely factor John Gilmore's RSA 1024 key today.
However, I believe the cost still exceeds a hobbyist budget even now.

Jsou tu nějací cyklisté? Hledám držák na mobil na řidítka MTB. Spíš placatý. Nic do výšky. A když to bude nějak fungovat s GoPro kamerou, to vůbec bude super.

Mám trochu nedůvěru k držákům potom, co mi z jednoho uletěl telefon, ale zkouším to znovu.

Máte někdy tip? 🙏

Našel jsem něco v tomhle stylu (SP Connect).

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid these days is rather an AndroidApp-Drain, as 10+ apps have been removed. More will probably follow the next days, details at gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…

But on the good side: 14 apps updated yesterday, 11 today. The repo got a little slimmer, so you find the goodies easier (hopefully).

Hope you continue to enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzySoftRepo

Have you heard the terms "Fediverse" or "Fedi" and wondered what they are?

I've done a little article that tries to explain what the Fediverse is, and how Mastodon is a part of it:

➡️ fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-wha…

TL:DR - The Fediverse is a network of thousands of independent social media servers that communicate seamlessly using a common standard. Even totally different kinds of Fediverse server allow users to follow each other.

Zo štvrtka na stredu. Z 18. na 17. Z SNP pred NR SR.

Opozícia zvoláva protivládny protest na stredu 7. februára pred budovu Národnej rady, začne sa už o 17.00 h. Práve vtedy by malo podľa Progresívneho Slovenska dôjsť k hlasovaniu o promafiánskom balíčku.

I wuz robbed.

More specifically, I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened. And *then* he tried to do it again, a week later!

Let’s remember #AudioEye is a bully:
adrianroselli.com/2022/04/my-c…

Its #overlay (still) does not work:
adrianroselli.com/2023/02/audi…

It SLAPPs critics (I am not the only one):
adrianroselli.com/2023/05/audi…

…and in the end harms users and #accessibility industry as a whole:
adrianroselli.com/2024/01/audi…

Throwing investor money at a clear PR ploy is not a fix (didn’t help #accessiBe). If anything, it highlights the scam.

Reputation washing works both ways. I feel bad for its new CAO who likely had good intentions.

My Cease & Desist from AudioEye

On Tuesday April 5, 2022, a FedEx driver dropped off an overnight envelope from Manhattan. It contained a three page Cease & Desist letter from Cozen O’Connor, the law firm representing AudioEye, Inc.

#Argentina es no aburrirse nunca, episodio 34.197:

1. La ministra de Asistencia Social dice que el problema de la asistencia social son "los intermediarios" y que, para evitarlo, ella misma recibirá uno a uno a los necesitados en el ministerio

2. Una organización piquetera le toma la palabra y monta una cola de 2.500 metros de largo en la puerta del ministerio

3. Un portavoz del Gobierno dice "ja ja era broma"

Distintas organizaciones vuelven a reclamar, tal como se realizó la semana pasada, una respuesta a la emergencia alimentaria agravada ante la crisis económica , con una concentración frente a la sede de esa cartera.
