Every Erasmus+ experience is a step closer to a more united Europe.

Erasmus+ has received the European Integration Award from the Cercle d’Economia.

This recognition marks over 35 years of building a more united and inclusive Europe through education, training, and youth exchange.

Thank you to the millions who have helped make Erasmus+ a symbol of cooperation and shared European values!

I'm trying to get back into longer form writing. Today I am advocating for a cross organizational effort to have a consistent donation framework.

One of the worst things about being a Linux user is that you have to deal with Linux users from time to time. Like the time an extension author had to quit due to being shit on by users.

If only there was a privacy bill.... (one has been worked on for as long as the Bell bill was... guess which one was rammed through?)

I am not a contributor on Wikipedia yet, but if someone finds the time, Crimea has been removed from Ukraine's oblasts in the table here, which I find completely nuts.

Is the Kremlin actively trying to erase Ukrainian history one Wikipedia edit at a time?

UPDATE: This has now been fixed. Thank you!

Finally got to build this. Quick UI toggles to see all possible permutations of a post.

Previously was trying out Storybook.js but it's a bit too much for my needs (too many files, too many clicks).

CSS view transitions are pretty cool. More permutations need to be added later. And it's fun building this.

I could use some #FediHelp .

As my long-running readers are probably aware, I schedule a _lot_ of posts in advance. I use @bufferapp for this, and I am largely satisfied with this, except for one thing:

They have a fixed character limit of 500 for posts, and thus I cannot make use of the full 10,000 characters of my instance.

This is bad, since most of my scheduled posts are German folk tales exceeding this character limit, and thus I am forced to use screenshots instead of plain texts - which is terrible from an #accessibility point of view (yes, there are readers that can identify the text, but I'd rather use plain text in the first place). So I am looking for alternatives. Here are my requirements:

- It must have a web interface I can use on my desktop PC - I grew up with proper screens and keyboards, and while I _can_ use a smart phone or tablet for complex stuff, I do not find the experience enjoyable.
- It must have a calendar view instead of being a simple, scrollable list - I often schedule posts weeks in advance, and I want to be able to keep track of what is scheduled.
- It must make full use of the character limits of each instance.
- It must allow for scheduling threads - quite a few of the tales I am posting exceed the 10,000 character limit.
- It must work with #Mastodon . While I am aware that other #Fediverse systems (such as #Friendica ) have scheduling options of their own, switching to an entirely different system is a drastic step that I only want to explore when all other options have been exhausted.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Trailing dots on host names in URLs is the gift that keeps on giving. Let me take you through a dwindling story of how the dot is handled differently in different places through the stack of an Internet client. The evil trailing dot.
