Am 5.9. beschließt die FDP-Fraktion ein Papier zu Migration. Von 'Brot' oder 'Seife' steht nichts drin. fdpbt.de/beschluss/positionspa…

Die FDP kopiert 1:1 die AfD. Das ist der eigentliche Skandal.

EDIT: Now updated with ISO 639-1 codes!

Do you speak Croatian (hr), Breton (br), or Scottish Gaelic( gd)?

All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!

Completing the Gàidhlig translation of Thunderbird email client on Android would be a great community project. A small amount of Scottish government funding/support would help too.

@chillypenguin Oh, this is a really good idea - both for this language and others that are in danger of falling under 70% translated. We'll definitely pass it on to our new community manager once we hire them, and maybe we could do some outreach!

In the last poem of the Kalevala, the sage Väinämöinen gives a bad verdict. Embarrassed, he sails away from the lands of Kaleva. He leaves his kantele and songs to the people. A boy born to a virgin becomes the new ruler of the land. The story is thought to tell of the arrival of Christianity.

Looks like Libre.fm, an open-software version of Last.fm by the GNU Project, is being reworked to support ActivityPub!

roadmap.libre.fm

#LibreFM #LastFM #Fediverse #SocialWeb #IndieWeb #ActivityPub #GNU #GNUProject #Music #FediMusic

Screenshot from the linked article reading: "Next steps • I [Matt Lee] want you to have a personal website and have your listening habits on your own website, not my website. But I know some people won't want that, which is fine but Libre.fm is effectively a silo (other than Last.fm which it talks to, although federation with other instances has been possible for a long time) and has over 372,000 registered users and 302 million scrobbles. • Some new features will only work if you're publishing your Libre.fm stats on your own website. • A new version of Libre.fm's front end will appear later, powered by Ruby on Rails. • [highlighted] We're also going to put our full attention to supporting ActivityPub where possible. [end highlight]"
Continued screenshot from the linked website, reading: "• Libre.fm will evolve from a single project into a larger project with a few distinct aims: 1. Being a good IndieWeb citizen. 2. Being a genuinely useful tool for artists (payments!) 3. Being a good member on the social web, which means supporting ActivityPub where it is useful. Maybe you could share what you're listening to on the social web? (For those of you who've used Libre.fm since 2009, you'll remember the GNU social project we started back at the start of Libre.fm (or GNU FM). Personally I hope you also remember our roots in the history of the social web. GNU social continues to this day, but I'm no longer involved and no longer using the software. Happily, GNU social now supports ActivityPub so things are coming full circle.) What you can do today 1. Get a personal website. 2. Get an account on the social web and follow me! 3. Read https://bored.city and send me feedback. 4. Donate to keep the lights on. https://libre.fm/donate.php -- our expenses are low, but a few dollars here and there helps buy new domain names, renew things, pay for the outgoing email service, etc."

Yeah, it's been there for a while. I noticed it once when I paused before hitting the back button and heard the hint that a double tap and hold would bring up the history. Once in a great while I remember to listen for the hint to see if I can pick up something new.

I think VoiceOver does a good job with hints. For example, I like how when I'm using the braille screen input command mode.

"hey, how's the tech job market?"
Screenshot of the debian-jobs mailing list archives. Months where the mailing list got at least one email show up; otherwise, if there was not a single message, the month doesn't show up. Eg, Jan 2024 there were no emails to the list, so the 2024 year starts with a link to Feb. Each email to the list is a job listing, some employer email the list being like "we're looking for a sysadmin at <random college> who specializes in debian packaging" and similar. Starting back in 2012 (remember _that_ job market?), there were 11 months of messages. Then 2013-2014, a message every month. Then 2015-2018, 11-12 months worth of emails to the list. In 2019, a large drop as Sep - Dec is missing; only 7 months of emails. Then 2020-2022, back up to 10-11 months of messages. Then in 2023, *5* months of messages; the lowest since before 2012. Then in 2024, *3* months worth of messages.

One of the themes which came through from the NVDA Satisfaction Survey earlier this year, was to improve Braille support. To help us target the most needed improvements, we have created a short survey. If you use NVDA with braille at least some of the time, please consider completing this survey.

Please also share with anyone else who may be interested.

Guess when #MapComplete started uploading pictures to our @panoramax -instance and started introducing `panoramax`-tags to the #OpenStreetMap-database...

There are 614 pictures in our instance for now.

If you want to see the graph for yourself, it is here: taghistory.raifer.tech/?#***/p…

A graph showing the number of `panoramax`-entries in the OpenStreetMap-database. It steadily grows and shows a sudden jump about a week ago, jumping from 1600 entries to nearly 2200 entries in only one week time. Those 600 entries were created with MapComplete

Sam Altman believes #AI is using a trivial amount of energy.

"The energy use of AI, I think relative to the value it's creating, is quite tiny today. I don't want to minimize it too much, because it's going to go up — like we will use gigawatts over time, out of, you know, terawatts on Earth."

I guess this depends on if the energy use of small countries is trivial and if you believe Earth can sustain producing terawatts of energy indefinitely.

A MATA mercenary holds up a Pentium-M Man under gunpoint. His radio is going crazy: "JUNIOR! WHATS THE SITUATION." Robed Pentium-M-Man: "The fact you haven't just barged in here and opened fire tells me you recognize the divinity in the circuitry." *BLAM" The Mercenary's head is shot through. Mage, dressed in MATA overalls, holding a pistol, consoles the robed Pentium Man. Mage: "Not to burst your bubble, Pentium-Man, but they're purposefully stalling so they can get you alive."

I called EMS once and police showed up before paramedics (paramedics were busy).

The first thing they said? “You don’t look sick.”

They waited for paramedics who took me to hospital - but that initial response stuck with me.

It’s why mask bans are dangerous. Police aren’t trained to make medical decisions. They shouldn’t be the ones deciding who can and can’t legally wear a mask.

Many illnesses are invisible - you wouldn’t KNOW we’re disabled to look at us.

Most of us have experienced gaslighting from friends, family and even doctors - people are quick to judge and decide you’re “not that sick.”

So are we really expected to risk criminal charges by wearing a respirator & just HOPE police will believe we truly “need it”?

Not to mention that medical exemptions leave behind anyone who wants to mask to protect and preserve their health - as well as caregivers and family of disabled people.

We rely on them to keep us safe - we NEED them masking in public.

I sincerely hope more people join the fight against mask bans soon - because if we don’t fight against them - more cities and states will pass them and more people will suffer.

A good respirator is excellent protection against covid & other illnesses.

We shouldn’t be further excluding disabled and high risk people from public - but that’s exactly what these ugly laws do.

Call your elected officials - tell them medical masks can not and should not be banned.

Don’t embrace escalating fascism and eugenics just because you don’t think it will impact you.

Don’t celebrate it because you hold a grudge about mask mandates.

It won’t stop with disabled people. Help us now & your future self will thank you.
