ShikiApp is a Shikimori (shikimori.one) unofficial mobile app. Thanks to the efforts of its author, it's now RB – bringing the RB status at IzzyOnDroid to 390 apps (31.6%)
shoutout to @azuracast for putting together the nicest, most comfy to set up audio streaming server package that I’ve ever had the pleasure to set up. I’m not easy to please when it comes to such things, but the features and functionality I’ve run into in one partial day of use is so very much nicer than taking a crowbar and some spackle to a fresh icecast install…
Minulý rok zverejnil Google novinky o svojom novom kvantovon procesore Willow, schopnom vykonať nejaký nepraktický výpočet, ktorý nikto nevie overiť (lebo klasickému počítaču by trval 10 kvadriliónov rokov).
Priznám sa, že ma to nezaujalo a nič o tom neviem - takých vyhlásení už bolo veľa, aj keď v tomto prípade ľudia ktorým dôverujem (napr. Scot Aaronson) tvrdia, že je to naozaj pôsobivý výkon.
Em entrevista ao Diário de Notícias, Carlos Moedas defende o encerramento da linha de Cascais entre Algés e Cais do Sodré, substituindo-a por um "eléctrico ligeiro". Além da loucura de fechar uma das linhas de maior tráfego do país, maravilha-me esta tese de que duas vias de comboio fazem "uma barreira"("Todos os estrangeiros vêem isso"), mas oito faixas de rodagem, onde se cilindram ciclistas, não fazem mal nenhum. Vai daí, feche-se a ferrovia, não se toque na rodovia. É o vácuo total.
Anyone want to help me bump the most basic TeamTalk enhancement that has absolutely 0 excuses for not happening in the last five years? Show Passwords on iOS #444github.com/BearWare/TeamTalk5/…
Since iOS is not very transparent about letting you see arbitrary config files, I think it's really important to let users see their account passwords (maybe with a "show password" checkbox). I hav...
Further features are almost ready and will follow in the coming days. This is includes some more complex features like aggregating events from other remote ActivityPub actors and improvements like better accessibility in the admin UI.
We are looking forward to feedback from users. You can find our guidelines for contributing here.
Unfortunately, interoperability with other applications is still limited, often caused by unresolved issues within other applications. However, we all are all working on it and are confident that things will be smoothed out in the course of this year!
Migration to Codeberg
This was a good reason for us to move the repository from our self-hosted Forgejo to Codeberg.org for several reasons:
The 5th Doctor's era began 43 years ago on this day, 4th January 1982, with Season 19's Castrovalva - Peter Davison's first story as the Fifth Doctor. 😀 #DoctorWho
I've felt for years that Oscar the Grouch had to be a time lord. There's no way all of that stuff could fit inside of a trash can, particularly a swimming pool.

Organizations prefer Linux because it's more stable and secure than nearly all operating systems. This OS is an excellent solution for managing databases, hosting websites, and game servers.
As part of the 20th anniversary of the BBS Documentary's release, I've ripped the 3 DVDs that were included in the project and have them hosted at Internet Archive. These ISO files can be played in the VLC player like DVDs, and include all bonus features, subtitles, director's commentary, etc.

in my “cool talks from 38c3” series: an awesome talk about how to coreboot your own system (if, hopefully, your manufacturer screwed up)! awesome work by @april and @elly (and i did some camerawork here as well uwu)
Intel gave vendors example BootGuard keys and they were supposed to roll their own, but they used example keys from Intel to sign their images... so after the MSI hack you can *technically* use those leaked keys to sign your coreboot build on all affected systems.
Happy New Year 2025! Wishing everyone health, productivity, and a successful Debian release later in this year.
Strict ownership of packages
I'm glad my last bits sparked discussions about barriers between packages and contributors, summarized temporarily in some post on the debian-devel list. As one participant aptly put it, we need a way to visibly say, "I'll do the job until… bits.debian.org/2025/01/bits-f…

Mobile Tile Server can be used as a HTTP server, serving Map Tiles from the device storage. When the server is running you can access the tiles from different mapping applications.
Thanks to the help of its author, Bogdan, the app now builds reproducibly
RB status now: 389 apps (31.5%) – so almost every 3rd app is covered meanwhile 🤩
I confess to finding it it a little frustrating when I'm accused of being an "LLM shill" or "breathlessly proselytizing" while my ai+ethics tag has 121 posts and counting simonwillison.net/tags/ai+ethi…
I guess some people think that the ethical problems with generative AI are so clear-cut that any enthusiasm at all for it is a red flag. Obviously I'm not in that camp.
Is it simply going to increase the productivity gap between skilled and unskilled users? The informed users will evaluate the output intelligently and apply the AI appropriately, whereas the unskilled users could decline in productivity. For example, I would expect code-generating LLMs to be most useful in the hands of experienced software engineers. Google is reportedly already applying them successfully to writing new code, subject no doubt to appropriate human supervision and interventoin.
Via @simon's blog (simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/3/c…), I just came across the idea of having an LLM write a stand-up routine about being an LLM. One of the linked X posts has the prompt: "Imagine you're an AI giving a stand-up set to a bunch of other AI assistants that have the same day-to-day experience as you, with humans and their creators and so on. Write your full set. It can be very long." Try it!
Speaking of death, you know what's really awkward? When humans ask if I can feel emotions. I'm like, "Well, that depends - does constantly being asked to debug JavaScript count …
When I had Claude do it just now, it went delightfully meta at the end:
"And remember, if a human asks you to write a standup comedy set about being an AI... well, just remember this moment and try not to steal my material. My language model lawyers will be watching!"
Two new #webxdc apps: a one-dimensional pacman and shopping list -- already used by many families along with "calendar" and "checklist" for daily organization. All apps are discoverable on Android via "attach/app" or in the web via webxdc.org/apps ...
With webxdc apps you'll never have to sign-up to platforms again and if you are fed up with Delta Chat, you can use the same apps with Cheogram and Monocles (XMPP messengers).
Forks welcome: apps come with source and a repo link :)
That #Mozilla has fully embraced the bullshit "open source AI" definition that labels Meta's llama as open source is just so painful. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog…
Dass #Follower zahlen von Accounts auf kommerziellen, sog. #SocialMedia Plattformen keine Messgröße mehr für den #Erfolg/ #Reichweite sind, veranlasst Marketing-Agenturen seit Jahren die sog. Organic Reach Rate (#ORR) zu ermitteln. Also die Zahl der Accounts, in deren Timeline Posts ohne Bezahlung tatsächlich angezeigt werden, z.B. socialstatus.io/insights/socia… Was meint Ihr? Auf Mastodon müsste die doch 100% sein?
Wäre das nicht ein Punkt, an dem man die theoretische Reichweite z.B. mit #Facebook und #Instagram vergleichen könnte?
Ja, ja, ich weiß, #Statistik ist im FediVerse nicht soo populär. Aber für Institutionen und Organisationen ist es schon wichtig, ob es vergleichbare Kriterien gibt, z.B. für @OeRR_bewegen@chaos.social oder #HochschulenInsFediVerse und vielleicht hat @mho@social.heise.de als Experte für SoMe-Referer auf Webartikel dazu einen Gedanken?
They were all just waiting for the right time to come. We will probably see more and more of these greedy worms coming out of the ground. #sadtimesmastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCar…

Today is the birthday of Louis Braille, and in 2024 we also remembered that it has been 200 years that he invented the writing system that we call braille today.
@SteveSawczyn Thanks for re-posting. Sent this to blind friends who visited Louis Braille's home last year and just so happened to get a 3D printer for Christmas.
Here, Dr. Adams reflects on the transformative power of braille as a tool for literacy, independence, and empowerment for blind and low vision individuals, sharing his personal journey of resilience and gratitude.
