Daughter freezes out dad, after her iPhone was entombed in an ice skating rink
An iPhone has been frozen under the surface of an ice rink for about two months, after a worker slipped up and left his understandably angry daughter's mobile device on the floor.Malcolm Owen (AppleInsider)

Have had some very upset friends and family since this post went up on Insta.
Trust me, my little post doesn't hurt you nearly as much as your vote hurt me.
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly ninety million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn't the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy.
And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.

Hace falta gente para el cordón de seguridad de la mani antiracista del sábado, si alguien quiere más info que me escriba.
No hay que saber nada específico, yo lo he hecho un par de veces y es cansao pero ya 😅
Y si podéis difundir la mani para que venga gente...
PSA: if your CI pulls the (third-party) dependencies from the main git branch, you are doing it wrong. This will fucking break.
"But I don't want to have to update"
Click on the list all tabs menu. It is short because it think it's the other (smaller) screen
Scroll down. It extend to the proper size.
Hover an item.
It update itself scrolling elsewhere randomly.
Change size again.
If all of that happens when you were about to select the tab you wanted then it might/will crash.
(maybe I'll file a bugzilla - that has been ongoing for a few month)

I’m thinking about selling my theremin.
I haven’t touched it in years.
I got this heartwarming email yday. This is what keeps me going.
I'd like to thank you. One one hand for cURL which is a reliable companion for my whole life since I came into cybersecurity back in 1997.
But what is even more unique is your perfection of documenting and publishing security advisories for it. Cybersecurity would be a much better place if all maintainers/vendors would aim for this level!

Daniel has taken the curl project to run in some 20 billion installations. He talks about what it takes to succeed with Open Source: patience, time, ups and ...YouTube

Sorry, thank you sooo much for cURL! I have also been a happy user for decades!

A ver, gente de lejos con ganas de ayudar, un sitio donde meter pasta, de mil que habrá: para el rescate de una librería en Picanya, cercana a unos amigos. Cercana de "la librería favorita de mis amigos" pero también cercana de "sus amigos que llevan la libreria además se han quedado en la calle, incluida la nena de un año es amiga de la nena de mis amigos":

Is this correct? I always thought Access technology was a UK thing. Later I was told Access Tech was the old fashioned term…
“Access technology and assistive technology are closely related, yet they serve slightly different purposes and audiences. Access Technology is a subset of tools and devices specifically aimed at making mainstream technology usable by people with disabilities. For example, screen readers, like NVDA or JAWS, open up digital content to blind and visually impaired users by converting text to speech or braille. Similarly, captioning on videos makes audio content accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Access technology is about creating a pathway to existing environments—digital or physical—so people with disabilities can engage equally with content and experiences designed for a general audience.
Assistive Technology on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of devices and software designed to assist individuals with disabilities in performing functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. This can include mobility aids, like wheelchairs or walkers, augmentative communication devices, or adaptive tools for daily living. For example, a braille note-taker supports daily productivity and communication for someone who is blind, while a prosthetic limb aids physical mobility for someone with an amputation. Assistive technology covers tools that provide support specific to the user’s needs, beyond accessibility in mainstream contexts.
Imagine a visually impaired student navigating an online course. Access technology, like a screen reader, bridges the gap by converting on-screen text to speech, allowing her to participate in the course as fully as anyone else. But to take notes or organize her studies, she may rely on a braille note-taker—an assistive technology uniquely tailored to her needs beyond just accessing information. For many, these tools are more than technology; they’re lifelines to independence, connection, and self-expression—bridging gaps and lifting limitations in ways that honour each person’s unique journey.
In simple terms:
• Access Technology helps people with disabilities use mainstream technology.
• Assistive Technology provides personalized support and tools for individuals to live more independently, across both general and unique contexts.
Their paths intersect because many access technologies—like screen readers, magnification tools, or voice recognition—are also considered assistive technology due to their role in supporting independence and empowerment. However, assistive technology is a broader term, often including unique tools tailored for very specific personal needs beyond mainstream accessibility.
As we look to the future, the lines between these two types of technology may continue to blur, with innovations that address complex needs across all contexts. Imagine AI-powered apps that identify objects, read text, or recognize faces in real-time—tools that simultaneously provide access and enhance day-to-day living.
While access technology aims to bridge the mainstream gap, assistive technology offers tailored support that supports each individual's independence.“

We are very happy to present you with GIMP 3.0.0 RC1! 🥳
This is our first release candidate for what will be GIMP 3.0.0. Now is the time for everyone to test!
It is the result of years of work. I'm sure it still has many bugs (and you should report!), but we hope you will still appreciate the new version. 🤗
Ja, Rousseau heeft zijn partij aan de NVA verkocht.
"Nick Serneels neemt ontslag als voorzitter van Vooruit district Antwerpen. Dat blijkt uit een mail van Serneels naar de leden van de districtsafdeling van Vooruit. Hij voelt zich gepasseerd tijdens de onderhandelingen voor een nieuw districtsbestuur."
Rousseau maakt manu militari coalities met NVA en passeert zelfs de lokale partijleiding ..
Congratulations to the awesome Jen Linkova, winner of the 2024 Itojun Service Award for her work on #IPv6!
She has played a key role in blazing a path towards IPv6-mostly deployments in Enterprise environments, including bringing the Google network to IPv6-mostly. It has been a great pleasure working with her over the years and this award is very well deserved!
With #matrix and oidc I was thinking about offering an official FluffyChat server. It would have some benefits, right? I could have more control over the UX and would be kore independent. On the other hand it would require a lot of work and eval a public legal identity with either an expensive impressum service or publishing my physical address. Also a lot of legal paperwork.
So I came up with a new idea. A new login UX flow where the user picks the homeserver from a trustworthy list

Love this. Very much agree with this thinking
There seems to be a timid uptick in new accounts on the Fedi, for reasons
Please, don't start acting OG HOA on them. They'll post intro if they feel like, they'll add alt text if they understand why. They'll stay if Masto feels fun, not because you say "we're a no-shoes house" or some shit...
And if it is minorities sharing their lived experience, please shut the fuck up and resist the urge to chime in, explain or police tones...
thank you (a witness of the Great Replying of Autumn 2022)
