Open Source Community auf #Matrix. ~5 technisch *sehr* versierte Personen rätseln, warum einer plötzlich keine Nachrichten der Anderen entschlüsseln kann.

Matrix ist nicht alltagstauglich.

Wenn eine Reihe von Informatikern und Open Source Contributors deine Fehlermeldungen nicht entziffern kann, dann ist das einfach *schlecht*. Da gibt's keine sinnvolle Ausrede. Dann hast Du einfach nur einen vollumfänglichen Fail hingelegt. Dann gibt's auch einfach nix mit "naja RTFM" zu wollen. Das ist Scheiße und muss als solche benannt werden.

Unpopular opinion: Damn cool kids with their HTTPs 3 and QUICs and whatevers. HTTP/1.1 was good enough for everyone!

They're adding all that fancy stuff into the new #cURL version, and it causes #Transmission to crash. How am I going to seed all these Linux images now?!

I suspect there isn't a good answer to this question, but I wonder now time has moved on whether anyone has found a Windows app for Mastodon which can be navigated efficiently with the keyboard, particularly so you can scroll through posts quickly?
Of course I know about the two specialist clients for blind people. I'm using one of them and I am exceptionally grateful for it. I've donated to it and would certainly do it again.
But they do not allow you particularly to mute conversations or hashtags.
I think we understand why that is; apparently the existing framework used by these clients does not make it possible.

Nevertheless, some of us use Windows all the time, and there are points throughout the year in this community when specific hashtags are used in large measure. In a few months, we have one of those coming up and I for one do not want to be caught out again.

Even if someone has found an app which has some keyboard shortcuts, then maybe I can script around it as I've done with X. I use that every day without issue, and of course I have all the flexibility of filtering there I could possibly need, not that I am going to require it in that particular use case.
But any feedback on this would be really useful. Maybe we can find something which works well.

Me, trying to be smart: I'll order an optical audio cable to connect my audio interface to my AV receiver so I can transmit my music losslessly to the speakers in my room instead of relying on flaky Airplay or Bluetooth.

Reality: It doesn't work and you have no way to troubleshoot the problem because it's all opaque digital tech. Fuck you!

So I'm returning the optical cable and ordering old school analog cables and adapters because they fucking work.

Digital technology was a mistake.

Here's a question for people who use WhatsApp more than I do: What do you call it when you record an audio message and send it to someone through the chat?

Is it a voice message? A voice chat? A voice memo? Something else? 1/2

My jsme na ceste do Tasova na Besedu a ve vlaku je prilezitost sepsat Unreleased update. Za posledni tyden pribylo nekolik umelcu a nejvetsi nadeje vkladam do unreleased.art/the-b-sides.

Borci do te kampane investovali mnoho sil ... hlavne po tom, co zjistili, ze maji vyvojare na WhatsAppu a muzou posouvat tlacitka tam a zpatky ...

Zena je prirovnala k Prago Union a do jejich beatu zpivala Katovy texty. Tak nevim, zhodnotte sami. 🤷

An old man meets a young man and asks, "Do you remember me?"
The young man replies, "No, I don't."
The young man then explains that he was once the old man's student. The old man asks, "What do you do for a living?"
The young man says, "Well, I became a teacher."
"Ah, how wonderful, like me?" the old man asks.
"Yes, indeed. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you," the young man responds.
Curious, the old man asks the young man when he decided to become a teacher. The young man tells him this story:
"One day, a friend of mine, who was also a student, came to school with a beautiful watch. I wanted it so badly that I stole it from his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend realized his watch was missing and immediately reported it to you, our teacher.
You addressed the class, saying, 'A watch was stolen during the lesson today. Whoever took it, please return it.'
I didn’t return it because I didn’t want to.
You closed the door and told all of us to stand up and form a circle. You said you would search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.
But then you instructed us to close our eyes while you searched our pockets.
We followed your instructions. You went from pocket to pocket, and when you reached mine, you found the watch and took it. You continued searching everyone’s pockets. When you finished, you said, 'Open your eyes. The watch has been found.'
You never mentioned who stole the watch. You didn’t shame me or talk about the incident. You never revealed the thief’s identity.
That day, you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life, but it was also the day I decided not to be a thief or a bad person.
You didn’t give me a lecture or scold me. The message was clear.
Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator should do.
Do you remember this episode, Professor?"
The old professor replied, "Yes, I remember the search for the stolen watch. I didn’t remember you because I also closed my eyes while searching."

This is the essence of a true teacher:

#MicroMapping parks has benefits you may not have realised:

A family is in a new city for a couple days on holiday, and needs to take their children to parks and playgrounds. It is important for them to be able to see the size of the playground. Maybe one child will be upset if there is no slide, so they want to try find one with a slide.

#OpenStreetMap has the possibility of providing highly detailed, useful information, and I'm excited for it!
