If all goes well, GNOME Weather will be the second TypeScript app in GNOME Core.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript with strong typing and many other quality-of-life improvments. This MR modernizes the Weather codebase somewhat and ports it to TypeScript in steps:...GitLab
When a railway track is out of order, they often put a small device between the rails that is connected to both rails and emits white flashes.
I wonder whether the flashes are actually powered from the track circuit that this device is apparently shunting.

It’s hilarious how openly hostile @element has become toward its own users. Calling them free-riders¹ for not purchasing premium support is just bizarre. Imagine a project like nginx doing that. If you don’t want to be an open-source project, just stop.

The Trump administration’s spectacular security breach, in which it seemingly shared details of a planned military strike in Yemen with a journalist, highlights just what can go wrong if you use consumer messaging apps to run your government.Steve Loynes (Element Blog)
“I discovered that words like ‘LGBTQ’, 'people of color', 'woman' and 'diversity' had completely disappeared from their sustainability report for 2024.”
Business journalist Iben Schmidt read Lego’s latest annual report and sustainability report ‘and they’ve basically been scrubbed clean of inclusion and diversity.’
Et tu, #Lego?

Delta Chat has been affected by the funding cuts by the Trump administration. We need messaging technology that is secure, usable and not tied to Big Tech infrastructure. Please donate to the project if you can afford to: chaos.social/@delta/1142113004…
Bummer. Last week our OpenTechFund contract was not signed but suspended along with OTF itself. Shit happening overseas.However, we wouldn't deliver resilient messaging infrastructure and apps if we weren't a resilient and fun community. We never had much money to begin with, and are graced with great pro-bono contributions.
We are now looking for other public funding but it takes time. Meanwhile it'd be great to get intermittent help via a wealthy donor or small tips delta.chat/en/donate

How Language Models Turn Text into Meaning, From Traditionalhuggingface.co
Beeping, "ding" noises, various one off sound effects, forget that. Give me ambient-grade chord progressions for work that's going well. Switch to a minor key for degraded performance. Other programs can chime in with complementary instruments if they're working at the same time. Give me broken chords or discordance on error. What Linux really needs is an audio library with some real symphonic ambition.
Had a mail server that used to crash for reasons unknown every few days. As part of diagnosis, I made a monitor that would check status every 5 minutes and either play chirping burds if everything was healthy, or breaking glass if it wasn't, so I could do other things but be aware of the status.
When I started a site that did paid access, I added a cash register sound whenever a credit card was successfully charged, and our CFO used to sit in the datacenter on a stool giggling every time it went off.
I do cloud now, but there was something to be said about sitting right next to the stack. You could hear when things changed. Maybe I need to make something subtle that tells me about wifi traffic...
