It’s been a busy stretch, but finally sharing my FOSDEM talk from earlier this year. I spoke about Thunderbird’s journey toward a unified, open-source design system that spans desktop and Android — and how designers (and curious contributors) can help shape its future. Check it out if you're into collaborative, scalable design in open-source spaces.
REMINDER: Your resistance goes faster, harder, and further without the use of ableist language. Fascists won't give a fuck, but a whole lot of folk who have been called 'crazy’, ‘insane’, 'stupid’, ‘idiot’, ‘moron’, and so forth hear you every time you do this, and make themselves a little smaller.
The same goes for body-shaming of any kind. It hurts your allies, not your enemies.
For this year’s LibreOffice Conference we had two location proposals: Luxembourg and Budapest. Members of The Document Foundation voted to choose the final location, and we can announce that Budapest is the winner.
@danilasch What does "more modern" mean? That's a very vague and subjective expression 😉 Have you tried the tabbed user interface? If so and you still don't like it, have you considered helping our Design community volunteers to implement the changes you want?
I'm not a designer, I work in logistics. Let's say we see what the closest competitors look like WPS and OnlyOffice either brainstorm or do a survey, whether users like the design, what they want to see.

In Viktor Orban's Hungary? Is this a joke? I've been a LibreOffice user for many many years, and I'm appalled that you're having the conference in a location whose government is actively supporting Russia, and undermining the EU? Where many in our community cannot go because of oppression and exclusion?
Today during a meeting it was mentioned that the front-end for Firefox' main source code repository [1] was super slow because of... AI scrapers! Surprise surprise! The team had to go through quite a bit of effort to curb the traffic. Also, can you think of something more stupid than scraping sources hosted in a version control system by scraping the web front-end?
@archos já jezdil do Saarlandu - Skotština je proti tomu spisovný jazyk :) Ale je to škoda, zahodil jsem něco, co jsem uměl a co mi šlo. Vlastně stejně jako můj studijní obor na VŠ
@archos to si už nemyslím. Znalosti z VŠ už dávno pohřbila doba a vývoj, znalosti jazyků jejich nepoužívaní… Ale tak já chci na důchod stejně do nejjižnější Itálie a s jejich jazykem si celkem rozumím i dnes. Na objednání kafe a drinku to rozhodně stačí 😇
@archos jistě, espresso za €1, bo nikdy nebude v Itálii stát víc a nějaká bouda daleko od lidí, ideálně dostupná na skůtru od moře, abych ho mohl poslouchat. Přes den budu s dalšíma dědkama sedět seschnutý před kavárnou a KOUKAT na holky (v té době klidně dámy 50+) a večer jen koukat na vlny, nebo na starou jabloň/třešeň/ fíkovník nebo co tam budu mít a jenom číst a prostě užívat dny, než to skončí
Es geht ihnen um Trump, Musk oder Bezos, um Datensicherheit oder die Stärkung der heimischen Wirtschaft: Viele Europäer würden sich gern von Techdiensten aus den USA lösen. Zehn niedrigschwellige Ideen für jede und jeden.
On monday I was so angry after I saw the stuff on my computer after I did a lazy new installation of Windows that I immediately switched to Linux. It feels good without Microsoft. The thing that I still have to do is cancel my accounts and move over to European alternatives (although my browser is Japanese now but that's okay.)
I'm not sure what the solution is to #Trump 's #tariffs. Ideally, everyone would boycott American products, but it's hard to get everyone to buy products that may be more expensive.
Should European governments add counter import taxes for importing American products? Or would this just create a tariff war?

Sorry to bother you, particularly with my just being lazy, but do you know of a transcript of this? I'm scratching my head over these two units and am not sure which I'm really after. I could run this through Buzz, and of course I will if you don't know of a transcript, but there's no point in reinventing the wheel.
@techsinger I would assume that Apple's Podcasts app could generate a transcript but I'm not aware of one that's already been prepared for this podcast.
@techsinger And, btw, it's no bother. I'm sorry I can't point you to a finished transcript. If you follow @BlazieTech I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have about the BT Speak. Also, Blazie Technologies' Web site has tons of demos as well as all of our documentation. www.BlazieTech.com
Are you guys bored? Do you hate America? Do you want literally anything to do? Try fine-tuning an LLM today with Unsloth and Google Colab. You know deep inside yourself this is something you've always wanted to do, and now you have no excuse because it's completely free. unsloth.ai
I am living Proof that literally anyone can do this, I'm fine-tuning an LLM based TTS model as we speak. It's almost done. Will it be good? Will it suck? Who knows.
@vick21 The notebook they have gives you an example dataset to try, I've not been brave enough to figure out how to get my own in there just yet, but I'm gonna look into it today.
Man, I finally tried installing this repo, but OMG, my head is spinning from trying to figure out the dependencies. "UV" was able to figure out the downgrade to python 3.11 to make the code work, but installing CLI fails because of the "sentencepiece". Anyway, I got tired of it and opened an issue against the repo. Clearly, it's working for the developer, so I may be doing something wrong. I'd be totally happy to simply copy his config and move on! :)
@KyleBorah @chikim No, no, this is totally cool. For some strange reason, I still gcannot get their CLI working. I will try your steps and see how it goes. Since I use Homebrew, it insists on using Python 3.13, which, is not a good fit for this exercise... Anyway, in a few hours I want to give it another go.
@chikim @vick21 You guys think I should try training on my voice? Kinda want to see what I would sound like through this. Up until now the TTS versions of me were always pretty flat sounding lol.
@chikim I noticed that when you generate a phrase with csm-mlx, each time it wil produce a different speaker. It's like United Nations all in one pack! :)

President Sheinbaum and her lackeys at the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH - an ostensibly autonomous state institution) are battling with the United Nations over disappearances. The UN says disappearances in Mexico are "generalized and systemic." With no sense of irony, or apparent grasp on reality, the CNDH replied that, "We reject that Mexico is experiencing a crisis of disappearances and more so reject that these are the result of State policy." They then ramble on about foreign meddling making things worse. Apparently 124,000 disappeared since 2006 is something that just happens?
In an incident causing widespread indignation, on Saturday afternoon, a poorly built structure collapsed in strong winds at the international AXE Ceremonia Festival in Mexico City, killing two photojournalists. That was at 5:30pm. The show continued until 2am with no interruption.
The festival was to proceed on Sunday and authorities said they would close the venue after the festival ended. In response to outrage over the deaths and refusals by artists, including mi querido Ed Maverick, to perform as if nothing happened, they finally cancelled the remainder of the event.
"It was not an accident, it was negligence," say the journalists' union.
The Mexican government's battle with reality and the United Nations continued today with the Senate passing a resolution demanding the UN remove Olivier de Frouville from his post as head of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances for daring to propose that disappearances in Mexico occur in a "generalized or systemic manner."
Apparently what forces the State's hand is when some UN functionary says something approximating the truth.
Apparently they can't be bothered with the 124,000 disappeared, the extermination camp discovered in Jalisco last month, or their own vapid promises to take action after the fact.
El presidente del CED incluyó en su declaración el grave señalamiento, sin sustento alguno, de que hay desapariciones forzadas en México, argumentando la temeridad de que éstas son generalizadas y sistémicas, expresó Gerardo Fernández Noroña.

@Friendica Support I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances: relay.social.net.ua/ However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?
@Michael 🇺🇦 Thanks, and yes, they replied to me and explained that they have a good reason for only accepting relay connnections from exclusively Ukrainian-speaking instances. Now I am multilingual and will have other multilinguals on my instance. What we would need to have is a way to configure Friendica to transmit only content in specific languages to specific relays. As far as I understand all content is tagged by Friendica automatically according to the used language (in the same way Mastodon users manually select the used language), so it should not be too hard to make the relay agent select specific languages for export? If I can guarantee this, said relay would let me in.
Can you create an issue for that? I guess that especially for this relay we would need to filter not only for Ukrainian but also Russian, right? Possibly we could also add a possibility to subscribe to relay servers readonly.
@Michael 🇺🇦 I see that in the Admin Panel, Sites, Message Relay, I can set "Number of languages for the language detection" and "Language Quality" and the description reads as if the relay filters inbound content. However, where do I set the languages for which to filter? There is no setting where I can select which languages I want to receive via the relay. Could it be that currently I only get English from all of my relays as my instance language is English?
So what we need is a) ability to configure the list of language for inbound filtering and b) filtering also, with a separate list of allowed languages per relay, filtering outbound contenct.
Where do I go to create an issue?
As to your other questions: I don't think we need Russian. In Ukraine, choosing Fediverse over mainstream networks is about equivalent to choosing to talk in Ukrainian only :). But generally, it would be good if we could configure a list of languages. As to readonly subscription, that would be a quick fix, but the Fediverse is about interaction, so it would not be a good solution.
The tariffs are about drugs coming across our borders. The tariffs will go in effect at midnight. No the tariffs are paused for 90 days. The tariffs start tomorrow morning. I’m pausing the tariffs but immediately installing a 10% tariff. The tariffs will make everything built in America. China will pay all the tariffs. There are no tariffs. The tariffs have been in place this whole time.
