@jcsteh I love alt+x, z, y, 3, i, j, it's one of my favourite shortcuts!
My favourite used to be on the Layout ribbon, you had to press alt+p, then j for columns, and there was another option which began with j but you had to press alt+p, then c. They changed it now, but there are still 21 options on that ribbon (note, fewer than the number of letters in the alphabet) yet only FIVE of them use a single letter. At least the other four use the logical single letter (eg M for Margin), but J?
I needed to do a word count the other day so I did alt+T and w like it was Office 95 not 365.
@KaraLG84 @jcsteh Ironically it's keeping backward compatibility with thirty year old keystrokes whch is part of the problem. Looking at the main ribbons in Word:
Home H
Insert N (not i)
Draw JI (???)
Design G (not d)
Layout P (Not L⊠because Developer is?)
References S (Review is r)
Mailings M
Review R
View W (Not V)
Developer L
Help Y2 (Canât be H because âHomeâ uses it)

I was reading his wikipedia article and while it's hard to tell how seriously to take it, it says:
Tate was raised Christian[139] but later became an atheist.[140] By early 2022, he identified as a Christian again, and said that he tithed ÂŁ16,000 to the Romanian Orthodox Church on a monthly basis.[141][142] After a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral in October 2022, he announced on his Gettr account that he had converted to Islam.[143][144][145]

I maintain that we need a "fall guy" group in the Linux desktop space to fund, develop, and openly release stuff that would get the Internet mad at existing players, so they typically avoid doing them.

GOOGLE WAS JUST RULED A MONOPOLY!
This wild day just got wilder! đČ
Hereâs what the judge wrote:
After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
This ruling wonât just affect Google but also Apple, Amazon, Meta, and every other Big Tech company that the DOJ is going after!
Let me be blunt. After decades of not doing anything about tech monopolies, the U.S. government just showed it is not playing games!
Good.

A lot of the time our hopes for funding critical FLOSS infrastructure has been benevolent billionaires: Google or Meta or Mark Shuttleworth or whoever is supposed to pay for things to happen.
Then lately we have seen some government grant programs which are ... fine but come with strings and issues attached that I don't want to get into here. Also they tend to focus on the server side and security and whatnot.
It kinda does not scale for each individual to pay for all the projects: 1 EUR Patreon for this lib here, 5 bucks for that application there ... Things get unwieldy and expensive and leads to people not doing it at all.
Here's a dumb idea I had a few days ago while running: Set up an org that's focused on supporting FLOSS end-user apps/environments. Like browsers, maybe a Wordpress fork to get that out of the hands of the "AI" people. You can become a member with a monthly "subscription". Like your Netflix/Spotify/etc. The organization distributes funds in a transparent way with a long-term focus (easier said than done, I know). And no, you can't and shouldn't enforce this, FLOSS should also be available to people who can't pay, that is important. But by collecting like 10 or 15 bucks by a whole bunch of people you could build a bit of a fund that's not at the whim of one state, one billionaire or something.
Probably stupid.

eine Frage, war der Sinn hinter dem Repo nicht mal Apps aufzunehmen welche (noch) nicht in FDroids eigenem Repo vorhanden sind?
In letzter Zeit hÀufen sich bei mir die Apps welche in beiden vorkommen ... oder habe ich das mal falsch verstanden? :D

"Damals" hast Du das schon richtig verstanden. Voyage (der Toot auf den Du antwortest) ist aber nicht bei F-Droid zu finden, oder habe ich nur nicht richtig geschaut?
Pushing Google onto non-Google phones, abandoning the removal of 3rd party cookies by Google, and possibly removing Google money from Firefox.
Thatâs how you get a Google browser monopoly on the web in three easy steps. All would be fine if Chrome wasnât part of Google. But as it is, and Google ads are the main income, Google will now push their browser even more having no way to buy being the default.
Well done everybody!

So! Ich habe gerade WhatsApp gelöscht.
Endlich.
Zu Anfang hatte ich mich lange dagegen gewehrt, dort ĂŒberhaupt zu sein, fand die Möglichkeit der Sprachnachrichten aber toll. Die gibt es aber nun mittlerweile auch bei Signal.
Abgesehen davon finde es gut, dass immer mehr Gruppen angelegt werden, die ĂŒber Signal laufen. Es tut sich was.
Nur eine Freundin konnte ich nicht ĂŒberzeugen, mit zu Signal zu kommen, schade.
GroĂer Vorteil von beidem fĂŒr mich: Nicht an eine Telefon-Nr und Smartphone gebunden.
Mir sagen Leute, bei WhatsApp mĂŒssten sie eh sein. Einen weiteren Messenger (Signal) sĂ€hen sie nicht ein.
Kannste nix machen.
Mein neues Telefon kann auch RCS, den Nachfolger der SMS. Vielleicht ist das ganze Messenger-Drama damit eines Tages eh vorbei.

A tip for Leasey users working with JAWS Picture Smart.
In addition to giving you a description of an image once processed, you may know that you can ask questions relating to it.
This can either be done by activating the More Details link at the end of the description, or by asking a preliminary question using a number of newly introduced shortcut keys.
There may be lots of times when you want to ask the same question but for different images.
Examples might be:
Describe the pie chart only in this workbook.
This web page contains an image CAPTCHA. Provide more details.
The map on this page indicates the driver's location via a pin on the map. Give the location.
If you frequently need to ask similar questions, create Leasey abbreviations!
You will first of all need to create a Leasey Text containing the question and then you can assign it to a key sequence so as to reproduce the text in the future.
The Leasey documentation and hotkey help gives details of how to create abbreviations.
They can be used in any text edit area to reproduce huge passages of text, but Picture Smart is a good use case. #LeaseyLove

@miki Apple didnât release (or, one might say *they withheld*) browser APIs that we needed to make useful web apps. Itâs better now, but there is still too much friction. Apple and the App Store won, users and developers lost.
I agree with everything in the article. đŻ
@com @miki Well, the initial mistake was when all the greedy consumer ISPs caused the Internet to go from IP (the protocol) -centric to Web-centric, effectively blocking all other protocols and services.
From that point, did it really matter whether it is web browsers or bespoke apps that dominate? Everything has to be shoehorned into TCP streams formatted as HTTP traffic, regardless of whether it is effective or not. We the users have already lost and have a subpar experience.
@ticho @com I think the mistake doesn't just lay with "greedy consumer ISPs", a lot of it was caused by opening up the internet to bad actors, the exhaustion of IPV4 space, an increased focus on privacy and the move to portable, battery-powered devices.
End-to-end connectivity with no firewall is the opposite of what users want because of security, static IPs are bad for privacy and impossible when people constantly switch between WiFi and cellular, and it's a terrible idea to allow unrestricted connectivity if you care about battery life.
