Ui-wooo! Hetzner is one week late with their Halloween "prank": 3 maintenance windows in a row, November 6, 7 and 8. We hopefully won't be affected for the full time (they wrote "just a few minutes") but of course cannot tell *exactly* when. So some time within those windows.

Again, only the primary servers are affected. Our mirrors will still be available to you for app updates and installs.

A #Georgia #Election Official’s Months-Long Push to Make It Easier to Challenge the 2024 Results

Julie Adams quickly ascended from a little-known #conservative activist to a surprise appointee on the Fulton County board of elections.

She has used her new perch to carry out the efforts of players seeking to tilt the election in Trump’s favor.

If you read my book Sandworm and/or care about Ukraine, please understand that Trump does not, and if elected he will very likely let Putin win.

"For Ukrainians, the outcome of the US election could be a matter of life and death."

Vote accordingly.

Last month we had the #LibreOffice Conference 2024! But we also had an update to the software, interviews with community members, and a Call for Locations for next year's event: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource

Just published a blog post on #Convo, my #XMPP chat app for #KaiOS :xmpp:

badrihippo.thekambattu.rocks/c…

It's basically a rehashing of the README and #Liberapay page with a few added plugs for KaiOS but I suspect it still took me longer to write than the last actual feature I added to the app so go figure 🤷🏾

New video posted yesterday!

I am an enjoyer of Shortwave, the IP/internet/streaming radio app that's part of the GNOME Circle. Maybe you would like it?

GNOME's streaming radio app is... really good


Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!

Vytvořil jsem návod pro babičku, jak migrovat instanci Mastodonu.
Rovnou říkám, pro zkušené uživatele si najděte něco míň polopatického, ale tady byl záměr to udělat opravdu step-by-step s obrázky a případnými zádrhely.

#KarelKučera - to jméno si pamatujte. To je chlap, kterej stál na správný straně a za boj proti zlu byl ochotnej obětovat i život. Chlap, kterého ocenil i #prezident.

#PaměťNároda mluvila s jeho rodiči a parťáky, aby jeho příběh nebyl zapomenutej. Aby jeho jméno znělo dál.

Díky Karle. Hrdinové neumírají. #SlávaHrdinům

New blog post about the recent migration of our project's website and build infrastructure, kindly sponsored by our new #hosting provider, Mythic Beasts (here in the Fediverse as @beasts ).

The transition was fairly smooth for most of our services, but let us know if you spot anything not working which should be!

This article explores the barriers blind students encounter when accessing learning content online. Some of their findings include images lacking alternative text, math content presented as images, inaccessible tables, and buttons without labels. The article also highlights accessibility barriers present in video games too. Please check out the full article for more information. #accessibility proquest.com/openview/793393e2…

Living in the middle of hope and fear:

"Conservatives are the party of toxic optimism. They’re recklessly overconfident, whatever their actual chances. That’s what you’d expect from a party run by religious fundamentalists who believe God is on their side. Blind faith is the supreme virtue, and admitting to any doubt is ferociously discouraged and will get you cast out.

Progressives have the opposite problem. We’re excessively pessimistic, often more so than the facts support. We’re overly susceptible to doom and gloom and catastrophizing. After bad headlines, I often find social media becomes unbearable for a few days, as people I follow engage in a collective lamentation.

I try to bear this in mind and calibrate my expectations accordingly. I find it’s most pleasant to live in a state of mild optimism: hoping for the best, but being prepared for the worst."

📣 Do-It-Blind (DIB) online Besprechung am Montag, 4. November, um 19:00 Uhr. Du bist eingeladen! bbb.metalab.at/rooms/joh-szv-o… Wöchentlich am Montag um 19:00 besprechen wir neue Formen der digitalen und inklusiven Zusammenarbeit. Mach mit! 🛠️ #make #blind #inklusion

Hey lovely beings of the fediverse, I'm a #neurodivergent woman seeking others who have a passion for #breathwork, #hypnosis, and #meditation, and other subjects that might be related. I'm actively working on being able to speak about these things in everyday conversation, both because I'd like to connect with more folks who have at least some understanding of any or all of these things, and in an attempt to teach myself that the world won't end if people don't have that prior knowledge/understanding. To that end, any and all replies are welcome.
PS: I'm also a #writer, and maintain a youtube channel where I post soundscapes and other things, though mostly soundscapes at the moment. That channel can be found here:

Hi, lovely person! I am another kind of neurodivergent person, who also loves meditation, breathwork, and might sometimes write, I also occasionally break things. :) I hope you're well. Oh and did I forget to mention I live on the other side of the world? Exaggerated of course, only now, I have to wish you good afternoon. :) I'd love to chat, or whatever is comfortable. If I find something interesting, I tend to talk a lot.

««Hay una cosa muy evidente, y es que la evaluación de la gestión de la catástrofe generada por la DANA la hacen quienes la padecen, y estos han dictaminado que hay deficiencias graves cuando a una semana semana de la lluvia aun hay basura sin retirar que puede ser foco de infecciones, hay posiblemente cadáveres en los garajes, o hay falta de alimentos y suministros básicos que no llegan a la población más vulnerable.».
