It's pride month ... again! July is disability pride month ♿
Maybe I will add some random thoughts and experiences related to disability to this thread over the month. So long I will leave you with the seasonal design for apps.gnome.org
WASHINGTON—Admitting that he had never been more conflicted about a ruling in his life, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was reportedly torn Monday over a case in which both sides offered compelling scuba trips.
So, anyone feeling motivated to vote? Because I sure am. We always knew it was gonna be like this. Yes, it’s exhausting and unfair, but the alternative continually gets exponentially worse. Do whatever you can, but always vote.
Enjoy my cover of Ed Sheeran's Tenerife Sea. Thanks to @talon for mixing. i appreciate all your support, and every share, every like, every comment means so so much to me.
This video is special to me for so many reasons, not the least of which is that I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. Thank you to Talon fo...
@bermudianbrit the one thing I picked up with reverbs is that it is very easy to make a reverb too loud. Usually if I think it sounds strange or too much, dialing back the wet signal really helps a lot. If you want to get fancy you can side chain the reverb slightly to the vocals, but I didn't do that here. Just made the reverb very quiet... except in the parts where it's not. lol. And since that was supposed to be long and big reverb, atlantis sounded really good to me.
🤩 That was incredibly beautiful... There's a purity to your singing ! I am not super familiar with Ed Sheeran's music but he always struck me as cheesy... perhaps I judged him too harshly... more likely you're the one magnifying his songs
The new Ladybird initiative is exciting: a new US non-profit initially backed by $1m to support development of Ladybird, an open source web browser that isn't based on a fork of something older and that doesn't depend on Google for funding! simonwillison.net/2024/Jul/1/t…
Andreas Kling's [Ladybird](https://awesomekling.github.io/Ladybird-a-new-cross-platform-browser-project/) is a really exciting project: a from-scratch implementation of a web browser, initially built as part of the Serenity OS project, which aims to …
I do wonder why Chris decided to fund Ladybird and not Servo. Servo is no longer a Mozilla project, and it's written in Rust while all the production engines are C++ and so is Ladybird.
@matt Looks to me that Ladybird has managed to become much closer to a viable browser in a fraction of the time Servo has been around. They have a bigger community and a lot more momentum. So it’s a pretty pragmatic choice.
I would like to know more about this mechanism BSD implemented in 2001 that prevents this class of issues, that I apparently don’t have available on Linux in 2024.
Also: is it just me or does it feel like it’s always glibc these days.
The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered a Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in OpenSSH’s server (sshd) in glibc-based Linux…
It's also in FreeBSD: freebsd.org/security/advisorie… So it's not just Linux, and certainly not just glibc, though I suppose musl on Linux might have a mitigation. The thing that prevented the issue in 2001 was only in OpenBSD.

@SteveSawczyn I don't know who's monitoring the social media, but the team that's at convention is in transition to ACB from NFB. I'll see if chris'll answer my text mesage. hang on a sec. #nfb24.
@munchkinbear Awesome, thanks. I'm not savvy enough with Linux to just verify this one way or the other, but if someone's still left here, I'd want to try and get the upgrade before leaving if possible.
@SteveSawczyn if your in general session, I am fully savvy to check it for you if we don't want to wait for chris to text me back. i'm over at ohio, dm me if we need to connect outside general sessions. #nfb24
@munchkinbear @SteveSawczyn Most of our staff are at the conventions. I monitor and respond to Blazie Technologies social media posts but I've been out today for a few hours at Mass and only just got back online.
There’s blood in the water. Angry developers, users, and regulatory bodies are circling React and Single-Page-App web development, snapping big chunks out of their sides. The smell of blood just brings more and more critics.
Des médecins d'origine étrangère souhaiteraient quitter les déserts médicaux où ils exercent et où une majorité d'habitants a voté pour l'extrême droite. Fascinant: en 1972, Fernand Raynaud dans son sketch "Le Douanier" youtube.com/watch?v=ktTkRTzdF2… imaginait déjà ce boomerang, autour de "ils viennent manger le pain des Français".

Call for Volunteers for RIPE NCC Charging Scheme Task Force 2024
To improve the Charging Scheme process and to get broader input on a future Charging Scheme model, the Executive Board has decided to create a task force that represents different groups within the RIPE NCC organisation and membership. The call is open until 19 July.
Long weekends are for practicing. I’m still struggling with how unforgiving is the Gibson Les Paul with its sound and tiny quirks, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it. I’m also aiming to get a few gigs around September!
For anyone following the #tennis at #Wimbledon via the radio coverage, here are some direct stream URLs. You'll need an HLS-capable player, like VLC, Safari on iOS, foobar2000 with the FFmpeg Decoder Wrapper plug-in, etc.
Very interesting article. Even though it compares two companies, Databricks vs Snowflake, the deeper data-related topics really grabbed my interest! foundationcapital.com/databric…
After three years of writing, our follow-up to the classic 2006 paper is finally out! In "What Goes Around Comes Around… And Around…", Stonebraker and I examine the last 20 years in databases and talk about why relational DBs are going to reign supreme.
I don't begrudge Slack for making this change, but I think this is why loss-leader free plans are evil for many businesses: when the music stops, and you need to cut costs, you end up consigning millions of people's thoughts and words and ideas to ashes.

Is there anyone in the #linuxmobile community with some experience in (or motivation to learn) #openmp (or something similar) who'd be willing to help a bit with a patch of mine for the #libcamera softwareISP? It's an important piece of sw that allows us to use "complex" cameras even when we don't have ISP drivers.
The patch I started already shows promising results on e.g. the #librem5, however I could use some help getting it into a mergable state :)
Israel's current strategy is a recipe for further humanitarian disasters, endless war and the creation of another generation of Palestinians bent on Israel’s destruction. If Israel wants to prevent Hamas from regenerating itself, it should offer the people of Gaza a more positive and hopeful alternative vision of the future. wapo.st/45Ldg1S

"The bedwetting about Joe Biden’s debate performance, they insist, is overwrought and unhelpful and everyone should simply move forward as if we are not in the midst of a crisis. This strikes me as insane."

the thing that caught my eye was not a single mention in nearly 4 hours of St Mungo's. most other things I've read of that length have at least mentioned or referenced it if not used it as a setting.
