we don't have anything comparable to your national weather radio service here. Our shipping forecast goes out a few times a day and there are specialist marine radios that use VHF I think, but tuning into 24/7 weather on a home receiver seems a pretty different way of doing it to me here in the UK.

hmmmmmm there is something i have to do today but i can't quite remember what it is…

gotta love techcrunch reusing a picture of the sight long gone: the monument has been removed as the SF office has closed.

The US two-party system is completely fucked up. How could they end up in an election where they have to chose between Kamala Harris and Vladimir Putin?

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 12 updated and 3 added apps:

* Aegis: the 2FA app has been added at special request, too
* OpenBible: download & read the bible in different languages 🛡️

RB: 320 apps (26.5%)

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

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).

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for having apps that already exist in f-droid?

@leeloo F-Droid describes itself as decentralized and stresses the importance to not be "locked into F-Droid as the monopoly app provider" (see: f-droid.org/en/2022/02/05/dece…) – so we help with that. Furthermore, several apps have #reproducibleBuilds at IoD but not there (e.g. Aurora Store). IzzyOnDroid performs extra checks (see: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…). So this increases security and also resilience. Also, some people prefer one place and others the other, developers included 😉

Zusätzliche APK-Checks im IzzyOnDroid Repo

Nachdem der Library-Scanner nun seit mehreren Jahren im IzzyOnDroid Repo im Einsatz ist war es an der Zeit, einige zusätzliche APK-Prüfungen zu etablieren.

🗳️ 🇺🇸 Election Day is an official holiday here at Adafruit. All employees have a paid day off so they can get out and vote, or volunteer for poll working, etc ! While we will still be moving orders on Tuesday, November 5 there may be some delays or longer ship times. Please allow extra time and plan accordingly!

Got it all done. By that I mean returning broken electronics and the haircut, of course! Now now, all you "go vote" peeps, chill, I early voted on Friday.
It would be my luck to arrive at Best Buy though, only to be told that their fuse had blown and the store was opening later in the day instead. Had to go to Staples, where they tried to get me to sign up for their rewards program just to get store credit for the items I return. Not too worth it to me.
Back to work for the last 2 hours now.

Was echt prima wäre in Friendica/im Fediverse: Ein Verfallsdatum für Postings. Also nicht pauschal für alle, das gibt es ja schon, sondern dass ich bei jedem Post entscheiden kann, wie lange der online ist. Es sind ja nicht wenige Postings nach ein paar Wochen irrelevant, während andere noch nach Jahren interessant sein können.

Because of sudden car trouble I had to order groceries today. Guess who just realized their food was sitting on the porch for an hour because the delivery person never rang the doorbell???

That's the worst! Decent refund policy at least?

I had to start temperature-checking food deliveries that were left out so I didn't use unsafe foods.

I got so fed up of waiting for Meta to launch their AI for the Meta Raybans that I took the plunge and set up a VPN. Lo and behold, my glasses now have the AI feature. I’m really enjoying the ability to ask questions about my surroundings & get quick responses, but some of the answers have confirmed that AI is far from infallible. Today, I found a jar in the cupboard which I was pretty sure contained honey. I asked Meta and it said it was a jar of peanut butter. Wrong; it was honey, as confirmed by Be My AI. I suppose the contents are a similar colour, but I thought Meta might read the label.
But if it gets this sort of thing wrong, I’m not convinced it is going to take over the world. If it does, we’re in trouble.

Not only that. I noticed that when Meta AI provides the wrong answer, it tends to blubber on and on as if trying to jiustify its folly! :)

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color

If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

There were 2 Democrats on the entire state ballot here in Alabama, at least in my district. Every other Republican was unopposed. If you live in a blue state, don’t you dare take it for granted.

Hey, friends: today we win. Today will protect each other, and the most vulnerable in our communities. Today we are going to stand up against fascism & violence and joyfully come together to care for those who need protection & support. We do this *no matter* how votes go today, no matter what disruptions or attacks come, so find peace in knowing what does not change, what they can never stop. Once you’ve voted, sign off, and don’t look or scroll if it causes you stress. Tomorrow we get to work.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada

Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

From the mouth of my 8 year old this morning. Jaydon, if I could vote, I would not vote for Trump. Dad, why? Jaydon, because he's in jail and he just wants to be president so he won’t go to jail. Dad, but he’s not in jail. Jaydon, also, he’s mean and won’t allow babies. I would vote for Harris, she’s nicer. Me, Jaydon where did you hear about the presidents and the election stuff? Jaydon, from ads. LMAO, welcome to election day at my house this morning!

Great guide by @vantablack that explains how to run your own 🏴‍☠️ radio using azuracast and mixxx on the Oracle free cloud tier:

With the neat idea to use #ffmpeg through "yt-dlp --extract-audio" to "borrow" some cool audio fillers from one of thousands of video services supported.

Reminder:

Republicans changed the way votes are counted specifically to convince their voters that Democrats "stole" the 2020 election.

On Election Day, only the votes cast that day will be counted and it will look like Trump is winning by a lot.

Then, other kinds of votes will be counted, and Kamala will suddenly do better.

Be ready for it. Don't get depressed on Election Day.

TIL: Puerto Rico actually doesn't vote in the presidential election.

Simply, it's the electoral college. And that by itself is more than unfair. Probably a result of colonialism.
