Being #OpenSource has many advantages. For #NVDA has opened the way for community contributions, and has enabled #transparency, #security and #innovation beyond what might have been possible in closed software. Increasingly, governments are also mandating the use of open source. Here is an article on such a step forward in Switzerland:

"Switzerland Makes Open Source Software Mandatory For Public Sector"

Switzerland Makes Open Source Software Mandatory For Public Sector

A big boost to the open-source community and an inspiration to other public sectors!

Latest installment of Starship Gender is now up!

I explore bits of my own personal story and background I've never talked about in public before, how they led me through a lifelong process of questioning things, and why I ultimately think the deeply interconnected nature of all forms of systemic oppression conceals an incredibly powerful source of hope:

"The Jasper fire was caused by a lightning strike on Monday afternoon and fuelled by strong winds, according to Parks Canada.

Flames from the blaze rose 100 meters high (328 feet), and strong wind gusts on Wednesday afternoon pushed the fire 5 kilometers (3 miles) in less than 30 minutes, said Alberta public safety minister Mike Ellis."

According to @bagder the stubborn way the #OpenSSL project is handling #QUIC implementation is directly responsible for delaying HTTP/3 adoption (1), and I tend to agree. When the project rejected the community QUIC patches and decided to go with their own design, it wasn't difficult to predict problems. This was proven right by the massive feature gaps (2) and performance issues (3) discovered by @icing when trying to marry OpenSSL QUIC to #curl. Even with API fixes released in version 3.3 the implementation is still inferior, and there is no good solution in sight.

AI crawlers have downloaded over 100 TB in the last couple months, partially from bugs and abusive behavior. We ask AI crawlers to include rate and bandwidth limits, and ask them to partner with us to mitigate impact and support our work.

AI crawlers need to be more respectful

We talk a bit about the AI crawler abuse we are seeing at Read the Docs, and warn that this behavior is not sustainable.

Falls jemand diesen Beitrag eines seit seiner #covid Infektion schwer an #mecfs erkrankten Journalisten (Tim Braune) von vor einigen Wochen nicht mitbekommen hat, ich finde dass auch sein Beitrag zu dem Thema sehr deutlich und wichtig ist:

Unser Kollege Tim Braune erkrankte nach einer Corona-Infektion an Long-Covid und an ME/CFS. Nun ist er Rentner statt Chefreporter – mit 49 Jahren. Er schreibt, dass er alles verpasst: sein eigenes Leben und das seiner Kinder.

🐍🔐 Python lockfiles are back!

Read @brettcannon's new PEP 751 – "A file format to list Python dependencies for installation reproducibility":

peps.python.org/pep-0751/

Discuss it:

#Python #lockfiles #PEP751

PEP 751: lock files (again)

This was all last discussed in Lock files, again (but this time w/ sdists!) . Probably the biggest change since the initial post of that topic is adding support for per-package locking instead of only per-file locking (it’s explained in the PEP what …

For August, it’s time for our biggest monthly emote update yet, a week early!

Normally our monthly updates add 500-1,000 new emotes, but I got bored and added 11,419 new emotes. This more than doubles the emote count on this instance, mostly thanks to the Mutant Standard emote pack with 8,294 emotes (almost as many emotes as what we had in July!)

We now have 160 emote packs in all (141 packs excluding those with under 10 emotes). Our total emote count is 19,688 emotes, excluding six legacy name conflicts from years ago (11,394 emotes excluding Mutant Standard).

Expanded packs:

• Added 28 spinny emotes
• Added 5 drgn emotes
• Added 2 neofox emotes
• Added 2 shitty logos
• Added 2 gayspers from pridemoji/emoji.lgbt
• Added 1205 emotes to yinglets by including ying variants (myno, thio, yinglemon, and yinglime)!

33 new packs:

• 8,294 Mutant Standard emotes (excludes ms_robot, in its own “robomoji” pack)
• 25 neobun emotes
• 31 neocube emotes
• 22 miffy emotes
• 378 neobot emotes
• 19 CatPride emotes
• 127 frazzledbynn_pride emotes
• 115 Girls Love emotes
• 40 Fox emotes
• 40 raccoon emotes
• 8 blobrat emotes
• 12 miiverse emotes
• 153 gphn emotes
• 12 Cortex Implant emotes
• 36 blobika emotes
• 30 panda emotes
• 40 Blob Wani emotes
• 35 Blob Tanuki emotes
• 8 Made in Abyss emotes
• 31 Gekota emotes
• 70 blobcat_pndpnd emotes
• 15 blobPebble emotes
• 22 pronouns emotes
• 36 trigger warning emotes
• 51 animated ASL emotes
• 8 TweFox emotes
• 31 pixel cats
• 155 pridemoji (excluding ghosts, which are dupes of the existing gaysper pack; extra ghosts added to Gaysper)
• 84 tinyfaces
• 81 bluemoji
• 104 pixel art emotes
• 15 pentacles
• 55 shrimp

Fixed packs:

I also rebuilt the original neocat, neofox, and drgn packs without any auto-cropping to make emotes line up better, all at 512x512 pixels (still large enough to look good enlarged in MFM but mostly well under 50kb after lossless compression). Proper alignment means you can do this properly:

I ensured all new emotes have unique descriptive names for searchability and non-visual users (except many color variations of part of the shrimp pack, which have number suffixes because I can’t name that many colors! ). They’ve been losslessly compressed, stripped of non-color metadata, and downscaled if necessary. I upscaled some 32x32 pixel packs with simple nearest-neighbor upscaling to preserve the pixelation. Credits are in the envs pleroma-custom README.
