Re last: I'm #blind, and for some reason there was no audio description available for the #OpeningCeremony, so I got descriptions from my wife, as we usually do it in such cases. My wife immediately recognized Dionysus in that particular scene, and we had no clue about this #LastSupper controversy until we saw it in the media.
I mean… Usual Abrahamic religions fanatics behavior, where they search insults and allusions to *their* symbols where there are none. The world is far, far larger than your bubble, dear Yahweh followers.

I've gone for it and updated to #Thunderbird 128.

The good news: the #a11y still works, tolerably, though there's now another annoying button on the tab order for showing the today pane even if I remove it from the layout; and it's a little bit faster than the previous esr release.

The bad news: it's still not as fast as the pre-supernova releases, and it seems to use Windows notifications in a way that's difficult to remove. Maybe I can do that from the system itself.

Mm, I think I maybe sorted out the notifications thing, have to turn on show an alert in order to be able to turn off show notification.

Re: Last boost: I wonder who truly was first with the brilliant idea of moving entire applications online, just so they can either regionally, or globally go down. Perhaps it was someone who was tired of work, and figured, wellp, when the boss won't give us enough days off, we've got built-in days off with this product! Come one, come all!

aria-label Does Not Translate

I mean... I kind of like it. IPPROTO_QUIC added to ye olde socket API looks neat/simple to me, and (as a transport layer) I think it belongs in the kernel anyway.

I assume you prefer QUIC in userspace? For portability reasons?

@ericj kernel-side certainly makes a few things simpler, but I don't expect this to land in a mainline kernel any time soon and it will be Linux only so in effect it it does not simplify anything for us...

we have signed an agreement with OSM which allows them to use our data.

It doesn't get uploaded automatically because people taking photos don't always have the same precision GPS coordinates as needed for mapping.

that makes sense. Lack of images is in my opinion OSMs greatest flaw. So I'm assuming you're hosting all the database in your own database and project it onto the OSM background layer?

For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.

I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.

Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.

Isn't this the case all the time? I cancelled one of my contracts with a mobile provider and they suddenly didn't want me to go. Stupid A1, we got a better offer though. But they also make you pay to cancel it sometimes, if it hasn't experied, in fact I think it's a clause in the contract. How well services trap us...
