@theseal the final name might still be tweaked a little but the feature will come: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1780…

Okay, so, apparently from what I have been told so far, they are looking at this issue on github. It's been in the works for a little while it seems to me. My source? Here it is.

Problemi con Raccoon

Raccoon for Friendica sarebbe un'ottima app per poter accedere a tante delle numerose funzionalità di Friendica dallo smartphone. Peccato che più lo uso e più saltano fuori problemi...
Già in un post precedente ho segnalato come ogni tanto il testo di alcuni post sparisca, o venga troncato dopo poche righe.
Inoltre, anche la timeline ogni tanto (ma anche dopo meno di un giorno dal login) sparisce completamente, mentre le altre schede continuano a mostrare contenuto. Il workaround è fare logout e login andando sulla scheda profilo, ci vuole un attimo con le credenziali memorizzate nel browser ma senza dubbio è una bella rottura di scatole.
Ora, stamattina ho aperto la schermata dei tracker rilevati da uno dei miei dispositivi /e/OS (un Teracube 2e che tengo senza SIM) e, con mia grande sorpresa, Raccoon era in cima alla lista con ben 4 tracker! Ho aperto la relativa schermata e vi rimando all'immagine per i dettagli. Vedo inoltre che anche l'App Lounge di sistema mostra 2 tracker, mentre per Fedilab non ne viene rilevato nessuno.
La cosa strana è che questo lo vedo solo su questo dispositivo. Sul mio telefono principale (un Murena One su cui gira esattamente la stessa versione di /e/, la 3.0.1), né Raccoon né l'App Lounge mostrano tracker.
Per completezza, l'analisi Exodus dei certificati di firma dei tracker ne rileva in Raccoon solo uno, Sentry, che non è nessuno dei 4 mostrati da /e/...
Qual è la verità?
Raccoon for Friendica in cima alla lista di app con tracker rilevati da /e/OS

Schermata di dettaglio del tracker blocker di /e/OS per Raccoon, che mostra 10 fughe di dati bloccati e i 4 tracker rilevati: Adometry, Cloudflare Insights, Google AdServices e Google Tag.

in reply to Tiziano :friendica:

@Tiziano il fatto che vengano rilevati dei tracker, tre dei quali di Google e (Adometry che è una controllata di Google), non mi tranquillizza. Io non ho mai incluso nulla, tantomeno di Cloudfare, quindi ci sono tre possibili alternative:
1. se si apre un link da Raccoon e la pagina web aperta ha dei tracker, viene attribuito il tracker a Raccoon (apri i link nei custom tabs, nel browser esterno o in app?)
2. falsi positivi nella rilevazione
3. qualche libreria che ho usato fa cose che non dovrebbe senza dichiararlo, es. quelle di Google/AndroidX, che ho usato col contagocce essendo un progetto multiplatform ma non si sa mai.

Per i post troncati, sospetto le immagini embedded abbiano qualche problema, quando ho tempo ci do un'occhiata.

in reply to 𝔻𝕚𝕖𝕘𝕠 🦝🧑🏻‍💻🍕

@Tiziano ovviamente l'opzione 3 è quella che mi interessa di più perché si può tirare su un polverone! Sarebbe da capire con un proxy quali chiamate partono e quando, anche questa è una cosa che richiede un po' di tempo per provare...

Me and @alexchapman have just been screwing around with this thing called Omni Describer, a Windows program that uses AI to make audio descriptions out of videos. It uses Google Gemini for the actual describing part, and it can either use OpenAI or SAPI 5 for TTS. It has some issues, like the TTS interrupting itself during descriptions, but other than that, it's pretty cool. forum.audiogames.net/topic/568…

1942-1947 Emergency Farm Labor Supply Program started it, and we realized people like food and never stopped having migrant labor to keep the food from rotting in the fields. And even that program had aspects modeled after the New Deal's Farm Security Program in 1937. That program went even further to save our farms by funding the development of entire communities for the migrants:

> The Farm Security Administration, in particular, resettled poor migrants on productive land, building entire communities, cooperatives, schools, and residential camps with running water and sanitary conditions. Agricultural workers were helped to buy equipment, sell crops, manage debt, and purchase farms. It also provided safe spaces away from discrimination where migrants could engage in cultural and recreational activities and rekindle a sense of stability.

The evidence seems pretty clear we need these people

Welcome to the RB family, KeePassDX 🥳

@neurocturnal this was already answered twice in this thread 😉 github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX…

F-Droid has the Libre version (see the Readme at Github), and they build and sign it themselves.

Ever since I switched to #GNU #Linux in my private life, using #Windows at work gives me near-daily headaches. I have full admin rights, yet I constantly fight the system: forced updates, inconsistent behavior, sluggish UI, weird errors buried in the registry.

I used to think this was just how #computers worked. But after experiencing the #freedom and clarity of #FOSS, Windows feels more like an obstacle than a tool.

Going back feels wrong.

@esoteric_programmer Having come from a Linux background, I was rather surprised to discover upon using a Windows machine seriously for the first time that some of the error messages were displayed as 32-bit hex error codes. Searching the Web for help often leads to interminable forum threads in which people who don’t know what’s causing the error try to help others who don’t know either. Diagnosing such errors would be a good task for a specialized LLM.

Twenty years ago today we released the little web framework we’d developed at the Lawrence Journal-World to help us build news sites and apps. We hoped maybe a couple of other media outlets, and maybe a few in the Python community, might find it useful. Never in a million years could I have predicted what happened next… djangoproject.com/weblog/2025/…

“For most people, using an LLM isn’t an abdication of thought—it’s often the only way to carve out enough time and focus to do any real thinking at all.

The real threat to creativity isn’t a language model. It’s a workplace that rewards speed over depth, scale over care, automation over meaning."

The luxury of saying no.

> We should be asking hard questions about how these systems are built, who they exploit, and who they ultimately serve.

What is the point of asking those questions if not to do something concrete by saying no?

I feel bad for people who are in a difficult situation because their employers are mandating use of generative models. I'm fortunate not to be in that position myself, at least not yet. But for me, saying no doesn't feel like a luxury; it feels like foregoing a luxury.

Eigentlich ja ein Themengebiet, dass man eher meiden möchte.

Aber Deine Aufmachung und Dein Engagement verlockt mich doch immer wieder, da rein zu schauen.

a new Poly CCX-700 OpenSIP phone appears, and after extensive updates from v7.1 to 9.x, it's ready for work.

also, yes. I have a SIP desk phone for Zoom, Teams, and regular calls.. at home. it also has a webcam. surprising, surely.

life has come to this because the usual computer based versions are so terribly unreliable and inconsistent that I cannot rely on any of them on Mac, Linux, browser based on FreeBSD, or even on Windows.

at least with the desk phone this is it's only role, that's all it does. I never wanted the modern design pattern: "this one device does everything marginally!" I don't like smartphones, I don't even want a touchscreen phone, and when I'm away from the phone I am unavailable on purpose.

For sake of trying something new, we introduced #MapComplete ( @MapComplete ) as the first editor for our 6 new mappers. While there were some rough edges, it enabled them to contribute photos to #Panoramax.

@MapComplete I like your "police call box" and was surprised to find two in London. Well, the 2nd is not a Tardis, just a column. So started to answer "your" questions.
The style question is hare, as I do not know the terms; pictures would help.
I could upload that picture, but only after converting from png to jpg :-(
Colour selecting is funny.
Luckily no question for the real Tardis note has roof:shape=quadruple_saltbox, a nonsense of user maze88, isn't it?

Well, I (@pietervdvn) am not based in the U.K. abd never saw one of those things closeby.

Feel free to open an issue on source.mapcomplete.org/mapcomp… (login with your OSM account) and we'll follow up there
