i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform
This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.
BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:
The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.
BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".
Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Apple created a Virtual Research Environment to allow public access to testing the security of its Private Cloud Compute system, and released the source code for some "key components" to help researchers analyze the privacy and safety features on the architecture.
#IzzyOnDroid adopted the Contributor Covenant (see contributor-covenant.org/). So while in the past we suggested you to add our badge or shield to your Readmes when your app became available at the #IzzyOnDroid repo, now it's time for us to adopt a shield. The first of our repositories already have it in their Readmes, the others will follow soon, so you can easily find it: codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/.prof…
Pracovat na těchhle španělských kultovkách je radost.
První díl je venku, druhý v tisku, třetí rozpracovaný, čtvrtý podepsaný.
Těšte se na hybridní hantecíček, zpotvořenou němčinu, slovní hříčky vázané na obraz (dík, komikse ❤️) a originální citoslovce od mého manžela, protože já nikdy nevím, co to dělá za zvuk, když někdo třeba maluje barvou zeď. @stepan ví, že "šmrdli šmrdli". 🤷♀️
Do Česka míří pohroma ze Španělska – a je hned dvojnásobná! Legendární komiks se konečně dostává i k nám a je nad slunce jasnější, že potvrdit svůj naprosto jedinečný kultovní status nebude dělat jeho hrdinům žádný problém.
A number of similar projects exist, but none that could set up multiple pipelines/gateways. Hopefully this is useful to someone; blog-post covering the setup here, including deployment on the Google Cloud Run free tier, is coming soon!
For decades, AIPAC has been an influential presence on Capitol Hill, working behind the scenes to lobby politicians and their staffers in support of Israel. Ahead of the 2022 midterms, AIPAC for the first time opted to spend directly on campaigns. interc.pt/3A8nTAH
In two years, AIPAC has become one of the largest outside spenders in congressional elections. We’ve chronicled its power through coverage of individual races, but never before has AIPAC’s massive outflow of money been analyzed in sum. interc.pt/3A8nTAH
Ahead of 2024 and amid growing public outrage over Israel’s war on Gaza, AIPAC made a bold pronouncement: Through its United Democracy Project arm and AIPAC PAC, it would spend $100 million on elections, about one-sixth of what outside groups spent on the 2020 presidential election. interc.pt/3A8nTAH
We fight for our rights to vote. Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) help blind people vote privately and independently. However, our surveys show that one-third of all poll workers do not know how to operate BMDs and that some blind and low-vision voters are not familiar with BMD accessibility features. So, to solve this problem, we have produced videos that demonstrate how to use BMDs. You can watch the videos at nfb.org/vote
I wish there were more indie GNOME apps (including for example Shortwave, Pika backup, Authenticator, and Monophony) available in the main #Fedora RPM repositories, because waiting 30 minutes for flatpak to download 1 gigabyte of runtimes' delta updates (out of multiple GBs) on a slow Internet connection in rural or under-developed areas (or on mobile data connections), for a 10 megabytes app, is absolutely not fun.
A reminder to go take a walk. I didn’t know how much I needed to do this the other day until I was out in the sunshine, captivated by fall color in the neighborhood.

In 2021, Spotify launched Wellness week, where we get off work for most of the company as a time to recharge, reset. (hrblog.spotify.com/2021/11/01/…) and has continued yearly since, which makes me super glad to work at a place where mental health gets recognition to this level. Next week is no work for me (and many of my colleagues) so I'll be able to get a break from most things code-related. I will not wrap myself up in some random hobby project! Need to relax.
In March 2020, just like the millions of businesses around the world, we closed all of Spotify’s offices overnight due to the spread of COVID-19, and asked all of our band members to work from home.
Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.
The problem with VCs is that they'll want their outsized payday, and sooner or later, they'll push through whatever enshittification is necessary to make that happen. At least with crowdfunding, there's some chance that we can contribute to developing good software and a healthy network for its own sake.

I've donated to #SuperSwingDistricts, a strategy for donating to local candidates in important races that are also likely to "turn out" many voters who wouldn't have voted for the federal candidate otherwise. Thanks @glyph for building and sharing this 💜
Please take a look, this strategy seems compelling to me:
@mush42 @ZBennoui I found a TTS library that's interesting. Can this be light and efficient so it can be added to Sonata a longside Piper and the upcoming OptiSpeech? github.com/myshell-ai/MeloTTS

I think the tide is starting to turn in GNOME and free desktop accessibility for blind people. Check out this positive message on the Orca mailing list, from a former vocal critic of free desktop accessibility: freelists.org/post/orca/Thanks…
Note: This has nothing to do with the work I did earlier this year prototyping a new Wayland-native accessibility stack. So I'm not being self-congratulatory.
Sorry for being the party pooper, but my dream, 30 years ago, when I first experienced The Web with the NCSA Mosaic browser on a SUN SPARCStation LX, was definitely not that I will spend a lot of time clicking away nasty pop-ups, cookie banners and filtering 1000s of trackers. But maybe that’s just me … w3c.social/@w3c/11335733218686…

"So what started from the original idea, like a dream, 60 years ago, now turned out to be a reality.
And, this is a space we are working for.
In early summer of 2021, we had a thread regarding this situation. While it was discussed in the gaming community for a bit, it faded away fairly quickly. During today's Nintendo Direct, I hadn't...
