Me pican los dedos cada vez que leo lo de la propuesta de una distribución de Linux europea, así que voy a dejar de aguantarme. En términos de accesibilidad, puede acabar fatal y dejar inaccesibles puestos de trabajo que a día de hoy son accesibles. Permitidme pensar que este será el escenario más probable, teniendo en cuenta el precedente sentado por las autonomías aquí en este país nuestro.
in reply to José Manuel Delicado

Desde luego creo que si no se consigue accesibilidad, los puestos que hoy son accesibles lo seguirán siendo mediante algún tipo de adaptación, porque lo contrario sería una violación del derecho demasiado basta. Ahora que... quien sabe.



I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges! :codeberg:

get-it-on.codeberg.org/

Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌

static.badrihippo.thekambattu.…

That link is very temporary, so if it goes down here's the source repo :git:

git.disroot.org/badrihippo/Get…

May the open web be populated with more shiny buttons!

AVISO DE OBJETO ENCONTRADO.

Sé que no hay mucha peña de Albacete aquí, pero lo pongo por si hay suerte.

Si conocéis a alguien que se dejó ayer una guitarra en el parking de la UCLM, la he dejado en Objetos Perdidos de la Policía Local.

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: :female_presenting_nipple:, not to be confused with the :manboob:, 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.

Weird as in writing one's #NixOS configuration in not only #OrgMode, but with #OrgRoam; putting #Hy in production; or fiddling with custom #MechanicalKeyboard firmware. Talking about that... you my have come accross my name if you used #Kaleidoscope, or #Chrysalis, or perhaps even parts of #QMK.

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.

in reply to Gergely Nagy 🐁

You're a nice person. :) Nice intro haha. Unfortunately, I had a mouse stoy once, but it's not nice. I won't say, I got scared though. LOL



Ooo! Someone is making something with a very intense garlic odor. I love love love garlic! Mmmm!


Uh fuck I think I opened the breach. Just put on a cover of Jingle Bell Rock.

Halloween is over, isn't it?



Apparently what I missed with the trillion dollar design of the new Mac Mini is that the power button that is under, is also on the back. So there is no "slide your finger under from the front". Because you need to reach the back.

No shit they couldn't move forward with the car ;-)

Apple Intelligence.



I think i stumbled on the next billion dollar idea: AI bots to play video games for you. Playing video games can be mentally taxing - wouldn’t it be nice to offload that work to AI so you can do other things, like get a 3rd job to help pay for my game playing AI bot?

Flounders can migrate their EYES up their bodies. Can you???'



This is a really good place to track election results: apple.news/AUsMKJ3t4SWqvr3DENH… °F


If you voted for Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion and humanity.

I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason and fascism.

So will others. So will history.



The number of Wordpress themes that are high in the popular list and that break with the Wordpress Debugging installed because of deprecated PHP is astonishing.



There's an interesting phenomenon. I saw it with France when the National Front arrived first in some of the recent elections, and now I see it with the US.

Everyone is blaming everyone else for the fascists winning, except... you know... the people who actually vote for the fascists and who want a fascist regime.

Maybe we could start with them, just saying.

Holy cow, when you're on a webinar, it is extremely rude to take over the whole time! What if the rest of us have questions? Seriously, schedule a meeting with the staff if you want to have an hour long conversation! Also, people running the webinar, cut them off and offer to talk to them at length later! Ugh!
in reply to Mendi Evans

Absolutely. The host needs to set limits and mute people when they've had enough time. I recall a webinar where this wasn't done and I had to stop listening to it.


hello masto, please help! I'm a published fiction author looking for a subject matter expert to talk through the premise of my fourth book, a gothic romance set during a zombie pandemic.

if YOU specialize in immunology, microbiology, and/or public health, I would love to pay you for like an hour of your time!

@DavidGoldfield Bwahahaha right, exactly. And, in all seriousness, God forbid they were doing research on these monkeys and they have viruses or something.


The Soviet Union was created on December 30, 1922! It remains one of mankind's greatest achievements.

Here is a 🧵 with some of the highlights.




Tak konečně volno, po třech týdnech pracovních sobot, snad stihnu i kolo. 👍🤗
