Where ISN’T #curl?! 🎥 youtu.be/Vefr0IsPoBA

in reply to Su-Shee

@sushee people often also mention zlib as a contender for the most widely used software component in the world. There is just no way to name a winner with certainty.

well I can def say I'm using cURL five times a day ("... keeps the doctor away..") - today and yesterday to extract some terabytes of data out of elasticsearch 😂

The EU’s Next Generation Internet programme has supported free, open source software for years. But now a silent death seems to be looming: An internal document suggests that financing may soon end. Developers are surprised and call for the programme’s survival.

Canadian phone companies are just the laziest, least competitive companies in the world.
in reply to Mx Sadiq

It's the worst.

Some of my cannier friends have bought AT&T plans and "roam" in Canada for a fraction of what our local plans cost. I can get better data plans for a couple of euros in any European airport than I can anywhere in Canada for any amount of money.



A new version of MapComplete is out!

This one features many bugfixes, such as not having blank screens on Chrome and some error recovery. Critical errors during data uploads are now logged remotely, giving @pietervdvn some insight in what happens and which allows some data recovery.

Furthermore, a #barbeque and #firepit theme has appeared: mapcomplete.org/fireplace

@SeeandMap Wish granted, if the build succeeds should be online in about ~30 minutes. Do a hard refresh then.

🤩 Thank you. let's see if tomorrow i can find a place and add a set of pictures.

I thought… Lemme try and record my faithful travel guitar with Meta glasses. Just a Bossanoish doodle, really… O yeah, on the back of the guitar I clipped the ToneWoodAmp with effects, it’s using the sound box as a speaker. Hear what came out… youtu.be/iz1l3SH1aQ8

@BorrisInABox It definitely will, but then you will have to pay for the amp itself. The cool thing about it though is that you can reuse the same unit on different guitars. Just install an extra bracket inside the guitar, stick the amp at the back, and you’re good to go! :)
in reply to victor tsaran

I kind of want to try one of these ToneWoodAmp things. Maybe it will make my boring, cheap Fender acoustic/electric more interesting.
Since I can't really play instruments here, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a guitar to leave at my parents' place. The amp is about as much as the guitar was, from what I'm seeing online.

After we had a conversation about how to use Airtags in travel for blind people, I was honored when Jessica Hipp asked me to write about it on the WayAround blog. I compared the use of Airtags and WayTags, concluding that they significantly contribute to my travel. I should have started using them years ago.

Also thought of using AirTags at some point but never really got to it. Great tip with hotel doors though! :)

This is a refreshingly good look at why extensions with both full privileged access and dynamic script + style execution are a really bad idea, greatly weakening the CSP on every site:

How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?

Injecting arbitrary scripts and styles ought to require an extra permission and be selectively allowed on a per-site basis.

Please take this survey about AI/ML and Fedora. We know that this is a sensitive subject, so the Fedora Council spent time putting a survey together to understand what our community thinks about this area of technology.

Last day to take the survey is July 31.

➡️ discussion.fedoraproject.org/t…

#Fedora #Linux #OpenSource

in reply to Fedora Project

the only things i see “AI/ML” useful for in Fedora’s near future are speech-to-text/text-to-speech, which can be useful for accessibility. Voted no on everything else.


We need your votes! Tell us who you think should win this year's Pants of Thanks Award at #GUADEC2024. Our winner will be announced during the AGM on July 21, starting at 16:00 UTC.

Von wegen technologieoffen: Wie das ZDF berichtet, haben sich Minister Wissing & Staatssekretär Luksic als Lobbyisten für den Kraftstoff HVO100 einspannen lassen. Unterstützern von "HVO100 goes Germany" wurden exklusive Treffen mit Wissing oder Luksic in Aussicht gestellt - gegen saftige Bezahlung.
Luksic übernahm sogar die Schirmherrschaft für die u.a. von Tankstellen - Lobbyverbänden finanzierte Kampagne.

Wir fordern schonungslose Aufklärung!

The simplicity of Dutch public transport tariff sometimes leads to illogical pricing.

For instance this 30-minute-long tram ride is cheaper with a tourist ticket for € 3.40 than when paid as you go with a transport or payment card.

I wish Dutch cities learned to implement price caps, which are common in virtually all other countries.

in reply to Ondřej Caletka

Oh, it turned out that the return journey following the same route is significantly cheaper! 🤯
