This is what 5 years of reforestation looks like ✨

Once cleared for a palm oil monoculture, this forest is now lush and diverse again.

Together with Leuser Conservation Forum, we’re restoring the Leuser ecosystem in Indonesia — supporting natural regeneration and planting native trees with local communities.

5 years of progress, powered by the Ecosia community 💚

Intéressant : réadapter l'interface utilisateur avec les concepts Apple… Ça pourrait effectivement améliorer l'ergonomie, parce que calquer sur MS Office est un non sens ergonomique global (c'est fou que MS Office soit si populaire alors que son interface est une torture) (bon d'accord : c'est surtout parce que MS Office est imposé aux utilisateurs et que les pauvres n'ont jamais connu autre chose que cet instrument de torture !)

Just read @glyph's latest: blog.glyph.im/2025/08/the-best… and this part triggered a thread on my own experiences of reading with low vision:

"…but the children!" they scream, and claim they want to protect them from e.g. Transgender folks. Now, someone run stats on a full year of child abuse cases. Interesting that those who scream have a pretty high number of cases – while those they want to protect them from, seem to have none at all.

Projection? "Every accusation is a confession" shows pretty clearly there.

When I read visually, I have to get my head close enough to the screen or page that I do in fact move it continuously back and forth. Or if I were to use a screen magnifier at a zoom level high enough that I could lean back, I would in fact be literally moving the mouse back and forth, or perhaps doing equivalent keyboard commands.

today is the one year anniversary for wcurl moving in with the curl project!

It was designed to be stateless and handle one-shot requests, but was mated to HTML, which may require multiple requests to retrieve the complete contents of a page. That right there was a step 1 design fail.

It lacks message IDs, which are common best practice and are used by every protocol underneath it, for many good reasons. That glaring lack, and the lack of well defined message lengths, has hindered all subsequent progress. Another step 1 design fail.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

you already said that HTTP/2 and /3 are more complex because they must include /1 so yes, it has hindered progress. The fact that /2 and /3 even need to exist shows that /1 was inadequate. And being used most doesn't mean it's best. Look at how much network bandwidth is wasted sending the same headers over and over on related requests. The percentage of network traffic that's pure overhead is insane, especially if accounted over all the years HTTP has been in use.

@hyc In the last 30 years I've implemented several HTTP servers and HTTP clients for various purpose and I always considered it a simple protocol.

If you want to do something fancy, client and server can agree to do it. But for my rather simple applications, code just didn't need to care for these special cases and was simple.

Compared to that: Try to implement SMB, CIFS or ADS...

pinging you @DavidGoldfield as this sounds like something your community might like to hear about: "Are you passionate about accessibility in tech? The Open Source email client Thunderbird is starting a new Accessibility Standards & Compliance Committee, and we’re inviting one community member to be part of it.
We’re looking for someone who cares about inclusive design, development, or content and wants to make a real impact. You’d help review features, share ideas, and make sure accessibility stays front and center in how we build Thunderbird.
If that sounds like you, send an email to community@thunderbird.net with "Design Committee" in the subject line to request more information. We’d love to hear from you!

Bloodywood is a band from New Delhi. They blend metal with traditional Indian folk instruments. It sounds hokey, but it’s done brilliantly.

This video for “Tadka” is badass. It’s a song about cooking, family, and respect for women/elders. It’s everything you wouldn’t expect from a metal song.

But it slays. If you love metal, get ready to move your body.

ACLU: Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious”

"...the company is also now apparently analyzing our driving patterns to determine if we’re “suspicious.” That means if your police start using Flock, they could target you just because some algorithm has decided your movement patterns suggest criminality...."

Companies aren’t people. No one working there when you were 13 is still there now.

This doesn’t have to feel like a “loss”. On the contrary, I’d argue that rejecting today’s Apple is the only way to keep a piece of that old Apple around. Think of it this way: I’m pretty sure that original Mac team that put up the pirate flag would agree with you today and not “Apple leadership.” You aren’t losing that 13 year old version of yourself right now, you are making him proud.

Another #EV in the family! My sister-in-law has bought an #Volkswagen #ID3. I have to say it's a really nice car. If you're looking for an affordable EV, it's a great option. You can find a used one in excellent condition for €16-17k. Still with a range of 350 km.
She also considered the #BMW i3, but ID.3 is definitely a better option. i3 with a 38kWh battery is just city car. This one is much more versatile.

@electricCZ @RezzaBuh oni asi mají nějaké dovezené skladovky, ale jinak fungují tak, že si auto vybereš nebo ti pomůžou vybrat podle cenových a jiných požadavků. Cenu platíš přímo prodejci takovou, jaká je na mobile.de. Jim zaplatíš separátně za tu službu 27 tisíc. Já jenom na nákladech platil 10 tisíc a strávil jsem nad tím dost času. Švagrová vše nechala na nich a jen si do Poděbrad dojela pro přepsané auto. A od pana Javorského prý maximálně vstřícný a ochotný přístup.

Just watched an excellent #GUADEC talk by @federicomena !

I've been looking for examples of talks that show code and which are also excellent! I think he's pulled it off brilliantly.

My learnings: I think it's just about taking a huge amount of time to carefully build your slides.

Unexpected: The source code wasn't coloured, but it didn't seem to matter too much.

If anyone has ideas on how to do talks showing code well, lmk!

Was ist ME/CFS?
👉 ME/CFS ist eine schwere, komplexe Multisystemerkrankung.
👉 In Deutschland sind mindestens 650.000 Menschen betroffen.
👉 Viele von ihnen seit Jahren – oder Jahrzehnten! – ohne adäquate Versorgung, ohne Forschung, ohne Anerkennung.
👉 Die schwer(st) Betroffenen leiden unter extremer Erschöpfung, Belastungsintoleranz und #PEM, Schmerzen, Herz-Kreislaufproblemen und vielem mehr – oft bis hin zur völligen Pflegebedürftigkeit. ➡️ #severeME

Heute leihen wir den schwer Betroffenen unsere Stimme. Heute, morgen – und so lange, bis sich endlich etwas zum Positiven ändert.

Rund um den Severe ME Awareness Day am 8. August teilen wir Zitate aus dem Leben von schwer(st) Betroffenen und Angehörigen. Sie erzählen von einem Leben im Dunkel.

Wir möchten, dass Betroffene endlich gesehen und gehört werden! Denn: Sie brauchen dringend Versorgung, Forschung und Aufklärung!

Bitte lies die Zitate. Teile sie. Sprich über ME/CFS. 💙

New: French phone giant Bouygues confirmed a data breach affects the personal information of 6.4 million customers.

Bouygues disclosed the breach on a dedicated web page; however, the page is currently deliberately excluded from search engines using "noindex" code, making it more difficult to find.

"Facebook announced a 5% across-the-board layoff and doubled its executives' bonuses – on the same day. They fired thousands of workers and then hired a single AI researcher for $200m:
(...)
Whatever else all this is, it's a performance. It's a way of demonstrating the efficacy of the product they're hoping your boss will buy and replace you with: Remember when techies were prized beyond all measure, pampered and flattered? AI is SO GOOD at replacing workers that we are dragging these arrogant little shits out by their hoodies and firing them over Interstate 280 with a special, AI-powered trebuchet. Imagine how many of the ungrateful useless eaters who clog up your payroll *you will be able to vaporize when you buy our product!*

Which is why you should always dig closely into announcements about AI-driven tech layoffs. It's true that tech job listings are down 36% since ChatGPT's debut – but that's pretty much true of all job listings:"

Here is a thing to take in consideration:

In he now-closed Québec facilities who was in the Montreal Metropolitan region. This region have ~4,1 million hab., or ~48% of the population of the province of Québec.

By roads, it’s at ~1h-1h30-ish away (excl. traffic), from Amazon facilities in Ontario.

Unless there was some plants in Alberta not far away from the BC border AND the large population centers in BC.

The math is not the same. Amazon *MIGHT* take a different route.
