From this 15yo video I learned that Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has had a full pension since the age of 31.
He could've retired at 31 but instead is making us suffer youtube.com/watch?v=gnmgL5CZqf…

Developers, please be careful when installing Homebrew. Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. The URL for this site is one letter different than the official site.
Note: Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad (original brew.sh here), but the click takes you to the malware domain brewe.sh.

In another step towards turning ourselves into the US, the Royal Ontario Museum just added metal detectors at the entrance. To say I'm pissed is an understatement.

Please let them know how much you hate this.
Whatever you think of TikTok -- I don't like it at all -- the ban by the US government, now endorsed by the Supreme Court, is a direct attack on freedom of expression in the United States.
If you think this very, very bad precedent won't be used to block all kinds of free expression going forward, you will find yourself sadly mistaken.
A travesty in every way.

if white websites burn your eyes out but they didn't a few years ago, it might just be that you haven't noticed that screens have gotten way brighter the last several years and out of habit you turned your screen brightness up enough to overpower the sun
if you turn it down, it might look way too dim in the moment, but give your eyes a few minutes to adjust and it'll probably look perceptually the same again. People look at my screenshots and say "how can you stand light mode?!" but my laptop brightness is at like 40% and my iPad is often as low as 10%. Bonus: battery magically doubles in capacity
my personal opinion is that TikTok is for people with attention spans the size of gnat's dickholes.
I could care less if it lives or dies.

The driver goes all the way up to 4k resolution and can actually emulate multiple monitors if you need that for some reason, but I found 4k lagged my poor five-year-old laptop noticeably, so I'm using 1080p now. This also would have been really useful in the days when screen readers didn't have screen curtain, but now they do. When looking through the assets, make sure you download the setup instead of the driver, unless you want to manually configure it. github.com/VirtualDisplay/Virt…

Weis jemand was mit anonsys.net los ist
Hallo Zusammen, weiß jemand von Euch was mit dem Friendica Server auf anonsys.net los ist? Ich kann die Seite nicht mehr aufrufen, bekomme nur noch einen 404er Fehler.
Leider weiß ich nicht wie ich @Tuxi ⁂ der den Server betreibt erreichen kann, deshalb frage ich einfach mal in die Runde.

TikTok shut itself down as part of a pro-Trump propaganda campaign.
The likelihood of a quid-pro-quo with Trump is extremely high. Using TikTok will mean being propagandized with pro-Trump messages over the next four years.
You are not immune to propaganda!

Getting #DrupalCMS up and running was pretty easy. Definitely need to be familiar with working in the terminal to get it going, but it is so much easier than it was.
I'm getting a bit stuck on getting #ChatGPT integrated with it. Not sure if it is an issue with my API key or what.
I keep getting:
Error invoking model response: Too Many Requests

If you are here, are a public sector employee, and interested in #OpenSource please reach out. I'd love to bring you into a global government conversation about #FOSS use in #government.
There is frankly so much that governments can do with greater collaboration in digital teams.
Another great @sustainoss #Podcast this time with @brian on Approachable Open Source podcast.sustainoss.org/262
Lots of nuggets for #OpenSource maintenance. Thanks @richlitt & @abbycabs
Worth checking out Brian's book too:

A new book by Brian Muenzenmeyer, available paperback or digitalapproachableopensource.com
I loved these lines:
“You don’t need permission to do your job.”
“You’re already empowered to fix things that you see are broken.”
“Instead of buying a maintainer a coffee, spend a coffee cup’s amount of time looking at their issue log.”
Great insights to get folks participating in open projects.

Lenovo has removed its iconic TrackPoint nub from new ThinkPad laptops
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition being showed off at CES 2025 lacks the iconic TrackPoint nub in a nod to a new, modern design that includes Lenovo AI Now.Mark Hachman (PCWorld)
Lenovo has spent the last 20 years trying to figure out exactly how much of what makes a ThinkPad a ThinkPad they can strip out while still selling the device for ThinkPad prices, so this is not particularly surprising.
It is deeply stupid, though. If you take out the things that make a ThinkPad a ThinkPad, what you're doing is telling your ThinkPad customers they should really buy a MacBook

I used the Eleven Labs Reader app on my iPhone last night to listen to an ebook [1] using one of Eleven Labs's natural-sounding AI voices. Something weird happened with the volume and frequency balance of the voice throughout the ~6.5 hours. The voice would get quieter and less bassy, then it would get louder and more bassy again, sometimes all at once.
[1]: Actually a draft manuscript provided by the author to Patreon members. I will happily buy the audiobook when it comes out.

I'm having some problems with #tusky , which is a very good client but one thing is driving me insane:
When I'm closing Tusky, no notification is coming in. But when I'm opening Tusky again, suddenly all notifications are coming at once, takes sometimes minutes until I can use the client again.
Using Tusky 27.1 on Android 14, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, OneUI 6.1.
Of course I have given Tusky all permissions to send notifications.
Does anyone having the same problem, is there a solution?
