Viele Leser wünschen sich eine Betrachtung/Analyse von Lern- und Schul-Apps. Da ich bisher nur die App Anton von meiner Tochter kenne, benötige ich weitere Informationen, um mir ein umfassenderes Bild davon zu machen, welche Apps genutzt werden. Vielleicht sind ja auch einige Lehrer unter den Lesern, die ihre Erfahrungen teilen können?

Some of you may have noticed a new logo appearing in various places around the web.

🎉

We now have a new logo for Librecast thanks to @mray
You may already be aware of his work as he designed the #ActivityPub logo.

It's been a work in progress and if you're curious about the progress @mray has been livestreaming his progress as the design came to shape.

It's been a fascinating process. Mray also created the librecast matrix room, so he's a great community player. Having such a contribution is amazing, our ecosystem needs more than code. It needs people being inspired and contributing by documentation, packaging, talking to others about the projects you love.

Helping us to improve.

Thank you so much Robert, for contributing so much of your time to create this logo for Librecast!

We're happy to have you as part of our community.

They go against hospitality! [¡Van a por la hostelería!]

Pubs and restaurants warn of closures if taxes rise and business rates relief ends | Hospitality industry | The Guardian

Os traigo esto para que sepáis que la hostelería no es solo un refugio de llorones explotadores e incapaz de vivir sin subvenciones sólo en España. Aquí además la calidad es pésima.

Of course masks do not provide perfect protection. However, they reduce the number of onward transmissions.

Just like seat belts do not prevent all deaths due to car accidents, but increase your chances of survival.

However, fewer infections (plus network effects, imo) = an effect reducing deaths more than one might think.

Porter breaks its own rules by kicking deaf woman and her service dog off a flight

Deaf passenger Georgina Villeneuve says she's tired of having to explain to airlines what the rules are around service animals on flights. The Edmonton woman was kicked off a Porter flight last month after the flight attendant didn't know the airline's own rules. #press

Hope everybody has a fantastic day today. Cheers everyone.


There is a notion that "spanking is bad parenting" comes from a desire to be soft & permissive. Having interacted with many young people and their parents? It just doesn't work. And when it fails it can do so catastrophically.

Children need consistent boundaries. They need to know the adults in charge of those rules love them and care about them.

The most confused, unable to self-regulate children I've ever worked with had parents very proud of spanking them.

Well… this is new.

Last Friday I left my job of 21 years by way of redundancy. That’s a pretty significant chunk of my adult life invested into a single place. So it’s going to be a big change.

As I step into the first Monday morning in years where I haven’t had anything scheduled in an Outlook calendar… I say ‘fuck it’ and opt for McDonald’s Breakfast.

Onwards and upwards, folks.

I thought I was set for life after a decade in one place. I'm doing something different and still struggling to find my balance, but it's working....

@cachondo Yeah. There is no such thing as a job for life. This is the ideal time to pivot, though. Try a few things. See what sticks.


Given that upgrading to NVDA 2024.4 turned out to be of no real benefit to me, I can't wait to see what 2025.1 will bring. Seems all the .1 versions are the ones that have the real juicy content.
in reply to x0

@x0 @cachondo I ran into that this morning with Windows Explorer reading the date modified, but not the filename in a listview. I forgot that I had previously updated NVDA and didn't restart.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox @x0 you can at least get stuff done much of the time before a restart if you need to, I suppose.


Here's the thing. Don't compare Intel processors to ARM in a 1:1 way. In some aspects, I feel sorry for Intel because people are always talking up ARM's power efficiencies, not realizing Intel is still carrying 32-bit instruction sets around and compatibility with decades of instructions. (and this is why a project exists inside the company to reduce it.) ARM has no shame dropping 32-bit, which is why the latest Qualcomm chips do not include it in any cluster. It frees them to use less power.

Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?

There's a feature added to Linux 6.9 that I think people should become more aware of: there's finally an identifier for processes that doesn't wrap around as easily as UNIX pid_t PIDs do: the pidfd file descriptors have been moved onto their own proper file system (pidfs), which enabled at the same time unique inode numbers for them.
in reply to Lennart Poettering

To query the inode number from a pidfd, you use a simple fstat() call, and look at the .st_ino field.

There's currently no way to get from a pidfd inode number directly to a process however. Hence, for now you always have to pass around a combination of classic PID and the new pidfd inode number. This can be safely and correctly be turned into a pidfd: 1. first acquire a pidfd from the PID via pidfd_open(). 2. Then fstat() the fd, and check if .st_ino matches the expected value.

in reply to Lennart Poettering

If you want a world-wide unique identifier for a process it makes sense to combine the pair of pid_t and pidfd inode number with the system's boot ID (i.e. /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id). This triplet is awesome, because for the first time we can uniquely identify a Linux process, globally in this universe.

In systemd we are making use of this heavily now: internally we always store a triplet of pid, pidfd, pidfd inode for referencing processes we manage and…

While our group didn't get to the intended target, we took up a lot of police capacity to give our comrades the chance to complete our plans.

My dad always said "Neither a borrower nor a lender be".
Great man, terrible bank manager.


It troubles me that apparently it needs to be said, but a key factor of online harassment is, that people with literally no personal involvement, stir up a discussion for the kicks.

And then play the "I just wanted to share my opinion" card

It doesn't matter what your supposedly intention is when it's a well known fact how it's going to end up like

There are two options:

you didn't know, then you are irresponsible

you did know, congrats you are an online harasser



Y hoy, en #movidasdeciegos me han reñido, cierto es que con razón porque soy una temeraria, jajaja, he bajado sola por unas escaleras mecánicas, repito, sola, así que una mujer me ha regañado porque claro, las escaleras mecánicas son un peligro para mi.

En general los videntes piensan que las escaleras son difíciles y no entiendo por que, cuando precisamente son super regulares.

this and DEADBEEF remind me of one of the Microsoft coding books, maybe Writing Solid Code, that offered the idea of seeing all variables to really bad values, as a way of reminding you to init properly and use them intentionally.

That practice has definitely caused me problems with people who don't ascribe to that ethic.
