About the last boost (snyder.substack.com/p/the-logi…), I want to focus on this part at the end:
> As for the rest of us: Make sure you are talking to people and doing something. The logic of “move fast and break things,” like the logic of all coups, is to gain quick dramatic successes that deter and demoralize and create the impression of inevitability. Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.

That was one of the most amazing demos, I have seen. Spin up a @matrix server in seconds and do VoIP calls.
Big laughs for forgotten passwords, and publicly displayed QR auth codes. Well done!

FYI The initial tariff list... personally, we have a handful of things we'll need to find substitutions for, i.e. protein shakes, wet wipes, etc., but that's not a bad thing, IMNSHO.

I mentioned a lo-fi plugin I made with cell phone codecs, and I just published an initial release! There are some features that are still in the works, but there are plugin files available for macOS, and the codecs and downsampling work:

If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.
451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.
Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."

I finally got around to asking for permission to release the one-night hack project I did on New Year's Eve. The project was personally motivated, but company-related. Specifically, it's a rewrite of the API client library for the System Access screen reader for Windows.
Source: github.com/PneumaSolutions/sa-…
Binary release: github.com/PneumaSolutions/sa-…
Note: The screen reader isn't open-source, only this tiny client library.
On this thread, I'll selectively quote from the README for more background.

Let's try out a little experiment and see if it works in the Füdliverse, too
Going thru the stands at fosdem ran into immich.app as a photographier I was interested so asked a few questions :
- what's your biz model?
- none yet, but probably hosted services
- how do you compare to #flickr or #pixelfed?
- pixelwhat? We are providing a replacement photo - no direct answer for flickr
- do you support activitypub?
- actiwhat?
- do you run on any OS?
- of course we do, we provide docker images
@devnull oh please tell me what gphoto2 is. I have no idea
[SARCASM] since you are totally missing the point.
@hub
>> "gphoto" is a tool to download pictures from digital cameras
Yes, apparently you have no idea… Your statement is incomplete at best, as "dowloading photos" is only is a small subset of what it can do and is hardly the most important part (USB Mass Storage or Memory card reader for the few cameras that do not support UMS mode, are enough to just "download photos from cameras")
But go on, keep trolling and pretending I'm "missing the point" if that makes you feel smart… 🤷♂️
"...In the description sits a disclaimer that these sellers are actually emailing pictures of RTX cards to unsophisticated bots or even more unsophisticated scalpers, people looking to take advantage of the low supply, high demand situation to resell graphics cards for a pretty penny."

Exactly this kept me awake last night. Most IT services in the EU is now in a american controlled cloud provider: Azure, Google Cloud and AWS.
I am completely terrified by how the new administration is operating. Will the CEOs of google tech companies deny anything the administration asks of them?

in reply to Steve Herman • • •Historical Context:
* Early 20th Century: The US acquired the right to build and operate the Panama Canal through the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty in 1903. This treaty granted the US control over a 10-mile wide "Canal Zone" in Panama. (1/5)
victor tsaran
Unknown parent • • •* 1999: The Panama Canal Treaty came into full effect, and Panama assumed full control over the Canal.
Current Situation:
* Panama's Sovereignty: Panama is the sovereign nation over the Panama Canal. It is responsible for the Canal's operation, maintenance, and defense. (3/5)
victor tsaran
in reply to victor tsaran • • •* Cooperation: The US and Panama cooperate on matters related to the Canal, including security and environmental protection.
Key Points:
* The US no longer owns or operates the Panama Canal.
* The US has a right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this right is limited and does not infringe on Panama's sovereignty. (4/5)

in reply to victor tsaran • • •In summary, the US's rights to the Panama Canal have changed significantly over time. While the US played a crucial role in the Canal's construction and operation, it now recognizes Panama's sovereignty over the waterway. The two countries maintain a cooperative relationship to ensure the Canal's continued operation and neutrality. (5/5)
