#Seznam, the company behind Mapy.cz, has become a silver partner of the #OpenStreetMap Foundation.
It was about time. They've been benefiting from #OSM for years.
Now I have one last thing on my wishlist: Drop the proprietary maps for #Czechia and use OSM everywhere.

It's that time of the year, I am open for #audio mixing and mastering, as well as #restoration jobs on the Fediverse.
Even better, for the entire month of December, I will do it for completely #free, especially if it's meant to be a gift, or you are looking to preserve dear memories.

If you need professional quality, custom ear-tailored audio work that sounds good and translates nicely, no matter where you listen, get in touch and let's discuss your needs.

Please note: This is on a first come, first serve basis, depending on requests.

Picture 1: Trump launched a new Guitar line, and as any guitarist in the world could immediately see, this so-called “Trump guitar” was just a Gibson Les Paul guitar rebranded with Trump logos.

Picture 2: As expected, Gibson Guitars’ lawyers are now all over this.

That is right — a US President-Elect is trying to steal the intellectual property of one of the most famous US guitar brands.

Nuove fughe di notizie sulla tecnologia di sblocco dei telefoni della polizia


Secondo un report di 404 Media esamina le capacità di Graykey, uno strumento di hacking progettato per aiutare la polizia ad accedere ai dati sui dispositivi mobili. Documenti trapelati suggeriscono che Graykey può estrarre solo dati parziali da iPhone moderni e aggiornati (da iPhone 12 e successivi). I documenti non specificano cosa comporta l'estrazione "parziale", sebbene i report precedenti suggeriscano che ciò potrebbe includere metadati sui file, anziché il contenuto di tali file. I dispositivi più vecchi, come iPhone 11, sono apparentemente vulnerabili all'estrazione "completa".

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.3.1 has been released!

Here is a summary of the changes:
- feat: add profile recovery screen;
- fix: review inline content alternate text;
- fix: strip off HTML before editing posts;
- enhancement: improve timeline a11y;
- enhancement: add friendica.myportal.social to default instances;
- chore: add unit tests for content pagination and repositories;
- chore: dependency updates.

This is mostly a bugfix release dealing with the most annoying issues you reported (e.g. the lack of management for expired tokens, accessibility issues, post editing with markup). Plus, since I've been adding a lot of unit tests, some minor bugs (e.g. direct messages pagination) were resolved too.

I'll keep populating the backlog with what you report and I'll continue to add tests to increase coverage.

Remember that time an insane fascist was elected president and said he was going to put huge tariffs in Canada and then the Premiere of Quebec said he agreed with the insane fascist and bent over backwards to kneel down and kiss the ring?

In two years, a 90-acre plot in Scotland has gone from a count of 35 bumblebees to over 4,000. They've also doubled their species diversity.

Rewilding and habitat restoration can work, and can work fast, especially for quickly breeding species.

"There's nothing special about Musk, Altman, or Zuckerberg. Accepting that requires you to also accept that the world itself is not one that rewards the remarkable, or the brilliant, or the truly incredible, but those who are able to take advantage of opportunities, which in turn leads to the horrible truth that those who often have the most opportunities are some of the most boring and privileged people alive."

@pvagner Some time ago I tried to use it, but I had big problems. Now it worked. The problem I have at the moment is the lack of a good noise reduction. There is Speech Processor, but even with the reduction set to -1db it sounds bad. There is also a separate effect Noise Reduction, but instead of controls it only says "unavailable". Maybe it is not available on Arm?

thanks for all this information. I did linux heavily 30+ years ago and don't remember a lot from back then. Dabbled since losing my functional vision... 20 years ago... dabbling here and there every few years... Really just want a working easy linux distribution that I can run in vmware and pop in to play with it. Looking for smething that doesn't combust with updates or require a lot of maintenance.. The fact that the accessible coconut install worked great gave me hope until i went to do updates and barf....

don't use so called blindy distros. They only fragment the ecosystem, while reinforcing the myth that devs don't have to work on making the accessibility of their app better, because we'll make our own special distros which work in the same way gamers make slightly altered distros made for their kind of workload. Meanwhile, on this side of the pawnd, we have to use old, half accessible apps, not update whatsoever, and pretend it all works fine. All this tends to absolve people of responsibility, on both sides of the coin, living everyone kinda happy, but only on the surface, similar to AI companies and their relations to blind people, where even we hipe this kind of stuff because it does half of a good job badly, but good enough to give us some false confidence that we'll one day live equally in this ableist society, because of technology which shall make us whole again and stuff like that. The former is not quite as bad as the latter, but I hope you get the point either way. Any mainstream distro will certainly be better than anything built for us in this way, because we benefit from the work everyone else does in making this ecosystem awesome, while they benefit from us because we work together with them to make this place more inclusive and possibly even better than existing platforms. We can only do all of this imense work together, segregation is the problem, not the solution
