There’s something very depressingly emblematic that Chrome Dev Tools’ annoying “Ask AI” sprinkles everywhere include one that pops up and *covers* the Accessibility Tree toggle.

On saturday we visited a #OneWorld festival #movie Team Nice Ladies. It starts as a #document about Ukrainian #cheerleading team, where the youngest member is 50 and oldest 70 years old. But then the war comes and suddenly we follow destiny of good friends in a #war times. Today is the second and last #Prague projection and I recommend visiting it. jedensvet.cz/filmy/56251-tym-n…
Tým svérázných roztleskávaček z ukrajinského Charkova ale rozdělí válka. Zatímco Sveta se i s rodinou a malým vnukem odstěhuje do Amsterodamu, jádro týmu zůstává v ostřelovaném městě. Ženy udržují kontakt a vzájemně se podporují.

An excellent Harry Potter #fanfic; I expected this would be a crackfic, was surprised when it wasn't, and even more that I enjoyed it anyway: The Long Game: ""I know things have been hard on us all since your mother's tragic death, and no one could ever truly replace her," Arthur Weasley said. "But I have met a truly wonderful woman, and we got married this weekend! She works at the Ministry, just like me!" Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny looked on as another person entered the room—a woman of toad-like appearance, wrapped in a pink cardigan. "Meet Dolores, your new stepmother!" their father said happily." archiveofourown.org/works/63657226#fanfiction#harrypotter
PS: I'm using WordPress, which GNOME Blogs uses, I have no idea what I'm doing. Also, I'm planning to pick up writing, and I might release more blog posts in the near future.
If you ever read the GNU Coding Standards, especially gnu.org/prep/standards/standar… where it says, "Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of any data structure, including file names, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data structures dynamically",
That document is from 1992, when that advice was okay. But that wasn't a time when every software may end up processing malicious data from the internet. So, we end up putting limits everywhere now, which is fine.
NY Times - VOA’s broadcasts — long viewed as an important part of U.S. efforts to promote democracy and transparency overseas — are flickering out. nytimes.com/2025/03/16/busines…
President Trump’s executive order on Friday calling for the dismantling of the federal agency that oversees the broadcaster is part of a wider campaign to weaken the news media.
In which an unpaid open-source maintainer gets help from companies using the software to attack a particularly complex and ugly bug: blog.hartwork.org/posts/expat-…
Good on Sebastian and on the companies that stepped up!
"attackers can force the stack to overflow into the heap"
No, this does not sound like a "recursion is often bad" issue. When the language is so unsafe that writing recursive calls can open up for attacks, then I think it is time to dump the language rather than forcing developers to traverse graphs without recursion.
Avoiding regular iteration loops makes software more maintainable and less error prone, and therefor safer. Use a language that can do this risk free instead of discouraging it...
Unbounded recursion that causes attacker-controlled stack usage is bad. It can be easy or really friggin' hard to mitigate. You need to maintain a depth counter in your state somehow, and even then, it's hard to pick a limit when you don´t know how much stack is consumed per level.
Not all languages have tail recursion. Not all cases where you'd want to use recursion actually admit tail recursion.

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden. Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.
Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.
Die Stiftung Datenschutz wurde im Januar 2013 von der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als Stiftung privaten Rechts gegründet. Sie ist gemeinnützig und verfolgt keine gewerblichen Interessen.
Danke für den Hinweis. Ich habe es anders interpretiert, aber bin da auch wahrlich kein Experte:
Namensnennung — Sie müssen angemessene Urheber- und Rechteangaben machen , einen Link zur Lizenz beifügen und angeben, ob Änderungen vorgenommen wurden. Diese Angaben dürfen in jeder angemessenen Art und Weise gemacht werden, allerdings nicht so, dass der Eindruck entsteht, der Lizenzgeber unterstütze gerade Sie oder Ihre Nutzung besonders.
-> Angeben das die Bedingungen auf dem Leitfaden basieren: "Sofern nicht anders angegeben, basieren alle Angaben auf dem Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk der Stiftung Datenschutz unter der CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz veröffentlicht. Die Lizenzbedingungen sind auf der Website von Creative Commons einsehbar."
Keine Bearbeitungen — Wenn Sie das Material remixen, verändern oder darauf anderweitig direkt aufbauen , dürfen Sie die bearbeitete Fassung des Materials nicht verbreiten.
Das Anpassen der Erklärung in der zum Beispiel die Adresse der Instanz konkret gegenüber der Vorlage angepasst wird habe ich als "nutzen" interpretiert und nicht als "verbreiten"
Wenn das so tatsächlich nicht erlaubt ist, wäre der Zweck der Muster ja hinfällig?
@Der Marek @Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚲 die Musterdokumente dürfen bearbeitet werden, weil die sind unter CC-BY-SA 4.0-Lizenz veröffentlicht und nicht unter CC BY-ND 4.0
I'm micr0, the creator of @altbot, the open-source bot that helps generate alt-text for images on the Fediverse to make content more accessible.
I have some exciting news to share - Altbot no longer uses Google's services! Many of you expressed concerns about privacy when I first launched Altbot using Google Gemini, worried about your images being processed on their servers and potentially used for training.
I promised to fix this, and I'm thrilled to announce that Altbot 2.0 is now running entirely on my own hardware using the Ovis2:8B model. Your images are processed locally with absolutely zero data retention - your content never leaves my server and isn't used to train any models.
The new system is fully GDPR compliant, and descriptions are even better across all 11 supported languages. What's also cool is that the setup is significantly more energy efficient, with 36% of power coming from clean sources. Altbot now even shows you how much energy was used for each request!
The only things Altbot 2.0 records are that a request happened, how long it took, and what language was used. No images, no content, no personal data - nothing that could identify you.
Building this upgrade was more expensive than planned - I needed a more powerful server with an A5500 GPU, which exceeded my budget by about $900 that I covered out of pocket. If you appreciate this commitment to privacy and accessibility, any support through my Ko-fi page would help recover these costs and keep Altbot free for everyone: ko-fi.com/micr0byte/goal?g=18
Thanks so much for your support! I built Altbot because I believe accessibility shouldn't compromise privacy, and now that vision is reality.
Feel free to boost or reach out with any questions! For press inquiries: inquiries@micr0.dev
I need to apologize for taking generalstrikeus.com/ seriously and encouraging people to sign up. Discord is not praxis, and I can't take anybody seriously who doesn't understand that. Discord's security is a joke, and they're only "free" in the sense of "if you're not the customer then you're the product," same as Meta. These folks could have gone with a _truly_ free and secure platform such as Matrix. Opting for Discord and describing it as free and secure means they're clueless. *sigh*
Look, if you put your resistance org on Discord, you're saying, "We don't mind if the government can access the entire chat history of everyone in our org and eavesdrop on us in real-time," because Discord is an American tech company, and there isn't a single American tech company that has shown any willingness to resist the Trump administration in any substantive way. Any resistance org using Discord is either dangerously incompetent or a false flag.
The dynamic between G'Kar and Londo in #Babylon5 is a uniquely funny, and beautifuly tragic story that has few equals in the TV sci-fi genre. screenrant.com/babylon-5-londo…
I think these two characters were some of the finest acting on the series. Babylon 5 is an amazing show and I recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately, for those of us who are blind, the show was never audio described. #Babylon5

I’m beyond grateful to share that, thanks all of you, we have reached our goal! Mia will finally be reunited with me, and it’s all because of you.
Your support means the world to me, and I can’t thank you enough for helping make this dream a reality. Whether you donated, shared, or simply sent words of encouragement, every bit of support made a difference.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I can’t wait to share Mia’s homecoming with you all!
It’s that time of year - people asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #repost. Every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! So this is important to share. Thank you. 1/9
Spoiler Alert! Quick version: Queens just out of hibernation. Hungry and house-hunting. Rest often between flights. Don’t move or help for an hour unless in immediate danger! Flowers best option. 50/50 white sugar/water next best option - NOT HONEY! Don’t bring her inside. 2/9
#Bumblebee queens emerge in early spring from #hibernation and immediately need to feed - that’s why early flowering plants are so important. Apart from feeding their mission at this time is to find a suitable site to establish a nest. Hence you will observe queens flying low… 3/9
…to the ground zig-zagging across the landscape - they’re house-hunting. Stopping to explore in long grass and vegetation, hollows in trees, stone walls, under sheds and even compost heaps. During this time #bumblebee queens spend a lot of their time resting between flights. 4/9
These ‘between flight stopovers’ can last for up to an hour and #bees are not always careful about where they take them - sometimes the middle of a footpath can be the ‘ideal’ spot! So if you see a big #bumblebee chilling on the ground don’t always presume she needs rescuing! 5/9
As with sleeping dogs leave resting #bumblebees lie - for up to an hour before intervening. (Unless of course she is in imminent danger whereby she should be carefully moved to a safe place). However if after about an hour she is still present then she may need assistance. 6/9
In this case preference is to move her to a nearby source of #nectar - a #flower! If no flowers are nearby she can be offered a 50/50 mix of white sugar and water. NEVER offer her honey as although it would seem to be the obvious action honey can contain pathogens that may… 7/9
..be harmful to #bumblebees. Usually once she takes on some sugars & heats up she’ll happily fly off. Don’t bring her indoors for long periods! If she has already established a nest and laid eggs she needs to get back to sit on them to keep them warm - yes just like a hen! 8/9
Thank you for reading and caring. PLEASE #repost. Don’t just like, #share. The more informed, the more queens survive and the more #bumblebees we have. Simple. Our native wild #bees are in serious trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can. Thanks again for helping! For caring. For sharing. A little bit of good in a world that so needs it. 🌍🐝🙏🏼 9/9
"The problem isn’t that the fediverse isn’t viable. The problem isn’t that it’s “too complicated.” The problem is that the giants of Silicon Valley have spent 20 years convincing us that anything outside their control isn’t worth our time."
