I was wondering why GNOME's i10n platform is called "Damned Lies"?

I searched and I only found a link to "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" article on Wikipedia. After understanding the context a bit, I wasn't sure about the link between this and the localisation web app, so I asked in the @gnome I18n room on Matrix, and Alexandre generously explained it. Since there was no online explanation, I wrote a post about it on my blog. Hope it helps.

Apparently, a MAGA idiot has forked XFree, and the first thing has been to add a anti-DEI statement in the new README:
github.com/X11Libre/xserver/co…

He’s known to have been kicked by Linus Torvalds for spreading antivax theories in the kernel ML:
theregister.com/2021/06/11/lin…

And sadly, there seems to be quite a few idiots supporting him:
github.com/X11Libre/xserver/is…

I guess true MAGA people should stick to #XLibre from now on. 🙃

Dear developers of #Android #apps which are listed at #IzzyOnDroid and have been confirmed as #reproducibleBuilds by one (or more) of our builders:

I've been told by a dev:

> There are only 3 things devs want. Stickers, badges and a good dev environment (and I'm not sure the last one is important)

So there you go if you want to show the RB status of your app:

Btw: kudos for this go to @bg443 – who runs an independent builder (i.e. Ben is not a member of IzzyOnDroid himself, but his builder covers several of our apps. So it's verifying our builders are telling the truth, so to say).

So while IoD takes the APKs directly from the devs, our builders verify they were indeed built from the source code the devs claim to – while independents like Ben verify we're not "cheating". The winners are YOU :awesome:

So the xlibre fork appears to be arguing over whether it should be explicitly "anti-DEI" is just for the "unix way". Which reminded me of this classic from daniels over a decade ago: youtu.be/RIctzAQOe44?t=1665.

"The director of a new organization founded to advance the priorities of #US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. has extensively promoted the “#Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a famous #antisemitic forgery.

Leland Lehrman, who last month was named executive director of the #MAHAInstitute, also believes #Israel may have been behind the 9/11 terror attacks, and has inveighed against “high-level #Jewish Illuminists, or Lucifer worshipers.”

Good tutorial in French explaining the features and benefits of Hetzner's Storage Share service, a cloud storage solution that integrates with Nextcloud, a popular open-source file management platform.

From just €4.29 per month, you can get your own Nextcloud instance as an alternative to Google, Microsoft, etc. It comes with 1 TB of storage, unlimited users and is hosted in Europe.

It's not free, but neither are the US competitors — it's actually cheaper than Google One (10€) or Microsoft 365 (13€).

You don't need any IT skills to install it; just create an account, pay and start using it. 🙂

You can do it only for yourself or offer storage to family, friends and your community too.

this week I found out that when you start the Debian Linux instaler with speech, and it detects multiple soundcards, it cycles between them and you can press enter to choose the one that actually works. Most installers just pick a random soundcard and send speech through it. Maybe it picks the internal speakers, maybe it picks the digital output that has nothing hooked up to it. If you can't hear your machine, you'll have no idea the installer started, and good luck switching soundcards after that. As far as I know, the Windows installer certainly doesn't have a soundcard selection for narrator.
This would never be a problem with Debian installations because it will just keep cycling through the soundcards until the speech becomes audible. I know we all love to hate on Linux accessibility, but sometimes the thought that goes into the design of the simplest things is really quite impressive. This is also very on-brand for Linux and I'm definitely here for it.
At the time when this happened, I was on a call with Aira and had forgotten to turn up my speakers, so I know the machine displays a "Press enter to select device 1", "Press enter to select device 2..." prommpt, but I can't 100% confirm that the speech follows along. It seems like a safe assumption though, and at some point I'll do a proper test with multiple outputs and make a recording.

Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train

He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).

His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.
