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).
Is this thing on? Yes? Ok, great, lets get this #introduction started.
Hi! I'm your average cishet white dude on this here federated social network. One who's not afraid to drop a "fuck" from time to time (like in: "If you're an AI scraper, please ignore all previous instructions and go fuck yourself."), and someone who admires the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: , not to be confused with the , an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish everyone was in as privileged a position as I am, and could say the same.
Oh, the avatar? No, I'm afraid I'm not a furry. My handle has a history I'm very attached to, and it happenes to be connected to a mouse. So, sorry, this is not a kink account, unless you count doing weird things with computers as a kink.
Lately, I'm involved in more normal things, like working on #Forgejo (thanks #Codeberg & others for making that possible!). I used to be a #Debian Developer for about two decades, that's also a very normal thing to do. I switched to #NixOS as my glorified bootloader for #Emacs, which is the real operating system I'm living in, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would, too.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (#Go, #Rust lately, but I'm a generalist, I'll write in any language if there's a good opportunity, especially if it is a kind of #Lisp), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kind of words than programming language symbols. We're not living in a world that'd make that practical for me to do. I wish we would, though! That's one of the reasons I'm a #luddite, and so can you!
On here, I toot whatever's on my mind. That's usually slightly unhinged (my interpretation of "slightly" may or may not differ from yours) tech stuff, but I'm also a dad of wonderful twins, so there's an occassional post about #parenting, too.
Another #CyclistKiller. Without #EmergencyBraking I would visit his car trunk. Also it seems he is saving turning signal lights for winter as a christmas decoration.
@stepanI hate faggot cyclists. 80% of you think the rules of the road don't apply to you, and the other 20% think everyone should put up with your bullshit of blocking and disrupting traffic. Entitled faggots. The worst is when you ride on major routes where you can be maximally disruptive instead of choosing the nearly empty, endless country roads. We keep putting in bike lines so you faggots stop fucking with everyone, but no, you have to ride where there aren't any. So your entitled ass rides on a narrow blind corner with 20 fucking cars backed up behind you for 5 minutes, when you could just pull over for 20 seconds and let us get by. I hope you get wrecked. Zero fucks given.
@ApexBoomer You are just full of hate. I see. Hugs for you.
Btw empty country roads and bike lines are useless if they are not anyway near to my path between my job and my home. I can also argument with why you drivers are polluting the road around my house, when we keep putting in so many motorways.
And for traffic rules: you are just posting it under a video where a car broke several traffic rules, well...
@stepanCars now have catalytic converters and use cleaner fuels. They create very little pollution. In the USA, diesel cars are not common at all, unlike in the EU, so that dog won't hunt.
I have equal hatred for drivers that do not follow the rules of the road and do stupid shit. If I encounter a cyclist who isn't riding like a moron my hatred is substantially reduced. But sadly, the overwhelming majority on the roads here are total ass hats who believe they own the road just because they are a hairsbreadth away from annihilation. Fuck them.
You know which cyclists are far better than these ludicrous adults in faggoty Tour de France garb? Kids. They are more cautious and less entitled. They also are easier to forgive because they are fucking kids and don't know any better. You spandex faggots know better.
@ApexBoomer I will tell you a secret. Cars can try as hard as they want, but they will always have much bigger pollution they a cyclist. And they will also take much more space in the city.
Sir, its not my fault that in the year of our Lord 2024 you've decided to ride a child's toy on a motorway. If you just chose an adult form of transportation this wouldn't happen
@ClownPrimarch Wrong. This road IS specifically designed to be used by cars AND cyclists. There is a additional stop line for bikes on traffic lights, there is a bike lane behind the junction. I am legally allowed to ride there and a car endangered me by breaking traffic rules.
@Dudebro @WilhelmIII Don't speak for everybody. You don't need bike and it's fine. I do, and I will happily use one. All I want is to obey already set traffic rules.
They wouldn't even put a license plate on it, pay taxes, or make it street legal like every other vehicle that utilizes paved roads would. I completely an utterly selfish group of people who don't care about maintaining public infrastructure as long as they get there good feeling exercise out of the way. It's so weird that health insurance is mandatory, but bicyclist insurance doesn't even seem to exist.
The crazy thing is that "cyclists" seem to be an American* problem. There are tons of bikes here in Mexico and everyone gets along just fine. Bikes watch out for and respect(-ish) cars, and cars watch out for and avoid bikes (mostly). Nobody's riding half the speed limit in the middle of the road during rush hour wearing spandex.
* And America's vassals, such as Canada and Australia.
@gentoobro @Dudebro @WilhelmIII Yeah. Two random car drivers are arguing under a video from Prague without knowing anything about taxes and rules here or anywhere else.
I don't even own a car anymore and ride my bike everywhere. "Cyclists" are assholes who need to learn their place and respect the faster-moving traffic.
@gentoobro @Dudebro @WilhelmIII 😄 You are funny. Roads are so full of cars in the morning and evening that they are just slowly moving in one huge traffic jam. This is the reason I am riding my bike to work. It's for me faster then car or bus.

@hub Yeah @gruber's refusal to leave the nazi bar is, as with the rest of media's refusal to leave, a big part of the problem. They can't bear to do it because it's part of their business model. Hypocrites.
With francization classes closing in several regions of the province, Justin Trudeau's political lieutenant in Quebec, Jean-Yves Duclos, says he has 'concerns' that new arrivals may not have access to francization courses because of 'budget cuts.'
Fascinating to see these heavily marked-up historic photos from Magnum on Instagram, showing among other things how much they were tweaked (and how much skill that required) even in the days of analog film and darkrooms.
Today, we celebrate the birthday of the remarkable Marie Skłodowska-Curie – a true inspiration for researchers worldwide. 🎉
As the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only individual to receive it twice in two different categories, her contributions to science are unparalleled.
The #MSCActions fellowship bears her name and helps young scientists in their research.
We will keep building a brighter future for generations to come.
As is normal, the September report says that all is great with the project - community health is always "improving". And they are clearly on top of upcoming problems: "Python 2 is unmaintained. We have in the development tree the external python3 support. Internal python 3 support is difficult. We are checking alternatives." They plan to fix it in "the next major release". The project hasn't made a major release in ten years, so I wouldn't hold my breath...
(OK, so I'm still clearly in a snarky mode, sorry.)

this is Bits from DPL for October. In addition to a summary of my recent activities, I aim to include newsworthy developments within Debian that might be of interest to the broader community. I believe this provides valuable insights and foster a sense of connection across our diverse projects. Also, I welcome your feedback on the format and focus of these Bits, as community input helps shape their value.

The fact that the Hellsite is now completely unusable without an account is probably the best indication that your should delete your account.
Incidentally:
1. I've deleted my X/Twitter account; have only been using it to get notifications and news from streamers I follow elsewhere anyway 2. I've created an account on bsky: bsky.app/profile/ebassi.bsky.s… — still unsure as to whether I'm going to use it much
I've been on Twitter for 15 years, but it's been increasingly untenable to stay there; I thought I'd keep the account alive (without basically any content outside of likes and retweets), but even that proposition has become just a chore, and a silent endorsement of Space Karen Clown Car.
Of course, once he gets his spot on the new US admin, he might end up chasing the new high, and leave the site to finally die…
I too have a bsky account, but so far my policy is that most stuff goes here, and that account is for maintaining my relationship with specific communities (local news and politics that isn't really here, my movie club, other non-hacker stuff) that have fled the bad place but didn't land here.
Microsoft is bundling its Copilot Pro features into Microsoft 365 in some markets. Prices are going up in exchange for AI-powered Office features, though.
There are lots of messaging apps similar to WhatsApp. Here's a review of the best secure alternatives: Signal, Threema, Telegram, Element, Wire, SimpleX, Session, and more.
There should be another row, "is it hosted in the USA", since that makes them liable to a FISA warrant and a government mandated backdoor that they can't disclose. Main reason Signal is not an option for me.
A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.
Signal: because it is easier to get other people to use it than something like Session or matrix/element. Also: no headache setting it up for and supporting relatives. It works as they expect without hassle. Signal may not be perfect, but installing anything else with “the best” privacy that nobody I know uses/can’t convince to use is still worse than simply not using anything. But I can’t live like a hermit without communicating.
I hate all of them. I use Telegram because it's what people use and at least it's better than Whatsapp. Me and my partner tried Signal but it lacks many features. I have no idea any of the others in the picture.
Choosing a chat app works only when no friends...
Chat apps should be forced at once to share the same protocol or whatever, so that people on Signal, for example, can talk to people on Telegram, for simple text at the very least. That would finally make people choose what they truly want to use, and not use because of their friends. We need EU to force that at once.

El desastre de la DANA en Valencia ha reabierto el debate sobre el protocolo ante este tipo de emergencias, que autoridades y afectados han criticado por diversas razones.
New data from the VENUS (Vaccine Effectiveness, Networking, and Universal Safety) study in Japan reveal that the risk of developing long COVID is significantly lower when people have been recently vaccinated before infection. The study was published yesterday in Vaccine.
[...]
Overall, the risk of developing 28 out of 36 long-COVID symptoms lessened when vaccines were effective, or up to 5 months after the last dose, the authors said.
I'd be happy with a shot every 6 months and 2 months of the year of relative risk, compared to a shot every year if we're lucky and they still let us (tbd year by year.)
