It's not ice cream truck everywhere, but it is here in Aurora, Colorado. This one is singing Turkey In The Straw. Not to be confused with the hip hop Adrian is blasting. That, thankfully, did not get picked up in this recording. Just the truck, and the sounds of my street at mid-day.
Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.
Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.
Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.
A few things to be wary of:
People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.
This is a proof of concept of integration between OpenStreetMap and Panoramax.
panoramax tag is used to get the corresponding picture on OSM-FR server.
In the meantime, more then 50.000 links from OpenStreetMap to Panoramax exists, most of them made by MapComplete. The majority (~47K) are a direct "panoramax"-key; ~700 pictures are specifically of streetsigns and around 7K images are linked as secondary or tertiary picture.
We've also been pushing various other tools to support panoramax tags (e.g. openPOIMap, OpenAEDMap, ...), of which several have implemented this. On others (OsmAnd, Organic Maps), we've opened an issue, but without luck for now.

Thanks to your feedback, this release contains a lot of improvements, fixes, new and improved controller-mappings. We would like to emphasize the importance of testing new versions. You don't have to be a programmer to contribute to Mixxx. Translating, testing new features and checking for possible regression is just as important.
It is recommended that all users update to this new version.

hey I'm building a DJ controller based on a Linx Vision tablet. Unfortunately it only works with 32bit windows 10. Could I build a 32bit version of this release myself or does it depend on features that are unsupported on 32bit? :)

do you want to put it somewhere? If nothing else happens I will probably arrange a low amount print with @Fabio in the next few months, because his laptop needs one (and mine does too :D )
Sry no SVG. JPG-PNG are available in all sizes up to 256px I believe. I even ulpoaded this to git friendica I think, not sure witch versions, every once in a while I retouch something. Terms of use are CC0 (actually NC) but in the case of friendica anything goes.
The colored circular image is a svg "permafluer", published creative commons by someone else in some CC svg catalogue site. The copy left is from a SVG creative commons site. The friendica base is from a friendica logo itself. Gimme a day and I look up all the info with links if I can.
Versions of this have been used as canvas for forum profiles, see here to get an idea: tupambae.org/directory
btw The image I posted is the background image of this friendica server as you may find if you visite this comment or for example our TOS page: tupambae.org/tos :)
When we visited the exhibition of the Museum of Public Transport in #Brno, I saw a #Škoda 100 and told my kids that my parents had it as their first car when I was as old as they are now. They looked at me in total disbelief. 😄
@ikkeT it was a used car. The production ended in 1977 and they bought it around 1989, so it was a fairly dated car when they got it, but it was all they could afford. Then the regime fell, my father started his business and in 90s he could afford Škoda 120, VW Golf, VW Vento, VW Passat. But I remember none of the later cars brought so much joy into the family like the old Škoda 100. 🙂
@janotomko not really, there is a depository of Brno Technical Museum with public transport vehicles in Řečkovice. It's not normally open, but there are days when they take all the vehicles out and do an exhibition. And one of those days was today.
Aww yeah, the Godot game engine 4.5 dev 3 snapshot is out.
For those of you to whom that's just alphabet soup, 4.5 dev 3 integrates AccessKit! This means that the editor UI, and any game UIs made with it, are screen reader accessible out of the box.
I just spun up an instance in a Fedora distrobox. Haven't gotten far, but the intro and project creation dialogs are certainly usable. Though the creation dialog seems to set its content as the label for all fields which is verbose. Filing that issue but still this is an amazing development!
No clue, haven't played with it much. Trying not to go down that rabbit hole just yet. The editor is at least accessible enough that folks are making games with it though. unseen-godot.alwaysdata.net
Yeah, and Godot isn't even fully compatible across minor release versions. I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2, I think it was, and a change to default physics bodies caused all my game objects to not move by default.
How about remaking Torrent? Think it was you who developed that and the initial beta was really an alpha, from what I remember from 15 years ago, somewhere around there.

Sunday. A weekend of volunteering for me. I spent a few hours yesterday providing real time Braille during the funeral of the late Pope. We had the liturgy and readings in both their native languages and English, words to the hymns, and AI-generated braille descriptions of the visuals. Only supporting a dozen or so deafblind people with the technology skills to keep up, but that's a handful of people who wouldn't have been able to participate as well otherwise.
Today, the charity that employs the wife have over 150 runners in the London Marathon, so I'm helping direct their supporters as to when and for whom to cheer, and helping maintain the massive spreadsheet. The marathon generates a lot of revenue for the charity so it's a big day in their calendar.
10 hours later and the last 4 runners I am monitoring are closing in on their finish lines. Crazy to think I've been sat here for more than I would a day at work!

Krásné dobré nedělní ráno mastodončata! 🙋♀️🐈🐶 Trošínečku u nás zamrzlo. I Archibaldíka překvapil bílý koberec. Artur ten si dal na čas a přivítal nás, až jsme se vraceli z procházky. Balda je neutahatelný. Budíček v půl šesté, dvě hodiny venku. Pranice s Arturem. Kolečko po sadu. A teď cupuje kapesníčky. Kdybych řekla kouzelné slůvko "ven", sápal by se na dveře a radostně skučel. 😂 Vy se na dveře sápat nemusíte. Použijte kliku. Venku je nádherně. 😊 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno
Woohoo. My #chatmail server just to experience the fun and enjoy some real simple end to end encrypted chatting where the server side is light on resources as well is now live. My next mission is getting the location streaming to work and play with some realtime apps.
I know it's become quite common, but I still think of it as a miracle of technology:
With our internal combustion engine car, someone on the other side of the world has to drill into the ground, often under the sea, pump the oil into a tanker that has to take it halfway around the world to a terminal where it is pumped into a pipeline that takes it halfway across the continent to a refinery where it has to be processed so that a truck can come and take it halfway across the country to a gas station where I can fill it up.
With our #EV, I just plug it in and charge it with energy that comes right off our roof. I can easily extend the range by 200 km on a sunny day. The energy transport distance: tens of thousands of km vs. 10 meters.
Unless you have to charge in public - then everything you wrote about oil and fuel is valid + add hundreds of kilometres of the wires... But I see your point and you are right. Are you using your BEV as house's battery storage, too?
@jan_petrus yeah, with energy from the grid the difference is not so big, there is still a significant difference. The vast majority of electricity is produced in our country. Even the coal-based electricity, which is the dirtiest from our mix, has much shorter transportation distances. The plants are usually very close to the mines. Nuclear fuel is sourced outside of our country or even continent, but it is also a much smaller volume of mass.
300 Google employees in the UK branch of its DeepMind unit have begun unionization efforts to protest their AI products being sold to defence groups especially the Israeli government.
This form of employee activism is dead in the US. Between the gutting of the NLRB and deportations for anti-Israel criticism, anyone who does such in the US is effectively giving up their job.
I knew @MapComplete could add ratings to Mangrove Reviews...but YIL it can add reviews too! (The OSM POI search on Mangrove Reviews' own site is mysteriously broken.)
In future mapping parties we're _so_ going to be using this to add reviews of the places we eat at! Heck, I've already asked participants of the last two parties to add them 🙂
An old failed Venus lander will re-enter from earth orbit next month, and it could land anywhere between 52 degrees north and south. Which covers basically all population in the southern hemisphere and a large majority in the north, leaving out the Baltics, Nordics, and Alaska.
It weighs a thousand pounds and is expected to reach the ground intact. Previous debris from the launch landed in New Zealand.
I think that @theverge is underselling it - the gold here isn’t the chrome browser, it’s chrome’s automatic background update system. It’s root on billions of machines.
Chrome could eventually be up for sale, if the DOJ gets its way, and companies like OpenAI, Yahoo, and Perplexity have raised their hands as potential buyers.
@theverge@theverge.space also continues to miss the implications of a sale on the DOJ's proposed terms to software all-up. By failing to push for an equitable, sustainable spinout (likely to a foundation, w/ the ability to bid for fractional search traffic and with a huge endowment taken from Google), DOJ is setting up Apple and Google to have *more* duopoly power over mobile.
