Dear conference organisers,

Please stop hosting your events in Texas (yes, even Austin).

It's become far too dangerous for a lot of people to attend the event, and many of the rest of us will avoid it to support our besieged LGBTQA+ colleagues.

I thought that my browser extensions were protecting me from most ad-related delays but I just tried nextdns.io on my phone and everything is noticably faster.
I don't know whether it'll eventually cause problems but so far I haven't noticed any new bugs on my usual news sites.
I think it's like PiHole as a service.

Nutzt ihr Antivirus-Apps auf eurem Android? Spart euch den unnötigen Ballast – sie bieten nur trügerische Sicherheit und sind oft voller Tracker. 👇

I know this is just the normal #Trump garbage, but it’s important to remember the ramifications. If he says something like people at #DOE didn’t show up for work, ridiculous as that assertion is on its face, many people will accept it as gospel fact. As a result, the pernicious myth that federal employees are all lazy louts who don’t deserve their paychecks and are hardly working as opposed to working hard stays ingrained in the psyche of society. threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/…

As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.

We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.

in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment

Great video! I just feel the whole thing has been very poorly communicated. What @ryanleesipes is doing here Mozilla should have been doing from the very beginning. We're a fairly big Firefox redistributor and there has been no communication towards us. And it does make people nervous here.

BTW is there any particular reason why the video is only 720p on PeerTube and 1080p on YouTube?

This study explores using Spatial Audio, musical cues, and audio descriptions to enhance the video game experience and to make it accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. The study included a mix of participants with and without visual impairments. The feedback highlighted the importance of accessible keyboard controls and sounds that convey character movement and object location. #accessibility journals-sol.sbc.org.br/index.…

@Friendica Support wäre das nicht auch für Friendica noch sinnvoll?
Ich hab so viele Konversationen, wo mir Teile des Threads fehlen, weil ich mit den Kommentatoren nicht in einem Follow-Verhältnis stehe...


Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

$42.5 Billion #Broadband Grant Program Being Rewritten To Benefit Elon #Musk - techdirt.com/2025/03/12/42-5-b… just a coincidence, I'm sure...

I had to learn a lot about parliamentary government when studying for Canadian citizenship so I have all the passion of the recently-converted but I think we're all getting a lesson on which is the superior* approach right now.

*Not perfect, of course. And I'm still holding my breath for the Canadian election.

Are you doing something cool with GTK or the GNOME application development platform? Do you want to talk about it in front of the GNOME community? Then you have until March 16 to submit a talk proposal for GUADEC 2025!

Nominácie na Lemmyvision 2


Ahojte, viem, že nás tu je málo ale pre srandu to môžeme skúsiť 🙂

Je to reakcia na túto správu: jlai.lu/post/16058178

Navrhnite teda nejakú pesničku ktorú by sme poslali na Lemmyvision 2. V skratke:

  • Musí byť z minulého alebo tohoto roku (vydaná po 1. januári 2024)
  • Nesmie byť medzinárodný hit (toho sa asi báť nemusíme)

A pridám aj subjektíny nápad odomňa:

  • myslime na to, že pesničku bude počúvať a hodnotiť medzinárodné publikum. Možno by teda bolo lepšie, aby pesnička nestavala len na silnom texte ale musí to proste zaujať aj bez znalosti slovenského jazyka. Vžime sa do toho, čo si z tej ktorej pesničky vezme Nemec, Švéd či Portugalec

This commit on #Mastodon adds a new feature called "Fetch all replies"to the backend. This is an important step forward. It might help small instances (like mine ;) to get more complete threads from other instances and avoid the duplication of replies with the same/similar content because not all replies are visible everywhere. github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p… cc @evan FYI 1/2
