Glad you enjoyed it. Will do another dancing workshop next year.
I've also read your section on alcohol with great interest. I can handle seeing alcohol, but don't drink that and would hope that society can leave it behind one day. And I've had negative reactions on not drinking before in the youth movement, as if someone who doesn't drink should be 'fixed' by learning them to drink (which I found very rude)
We are impressed with the new fightchatcontrol.eu/ website, and the way it provides all the info needed to engage in distributed diverse action to prevent the EU from preparing the ground for, or sliding into, authoritarianism by breaking end-to-end encryption for everyone. Germany and France are particularly important to engage with and we'll see what we can do from our circles. We don't know the people behind @chatcontrol but big kudos! #chatcontrol
Sinds het begin van juli wordt op de Burg in Brugge, door middel van krijtboodschappen, geprotesteerd tegen de genocide op het Palestijnse volk. Vandaag, 17 augustus vormde daar geen uitzondering …
What can be done about London's overheating homes?
Andre says he saves a lot on heating in the winter As a musician, Andre Louis works a lot at his home in Kilburn and in summer, despite having numerous fans placed around the rooms, he says it gets unbearably hot. "The way that these places are built, they are built for warmth, but that means that in heat, it is doubly warm," he explains. "We don't turn the heating on in the winter, for example. We haven't done in about eight years. In that time, we've actually saved a lot of money by not having to turn the heating on. "But because these places don't come with air conditioning, we find that anything we do to mitigate doesn't help."
air conditioning would be nice. It went down to 10 degrees outside last night and the bedroom was still up in the 20s. yeck. Congrats for being on the news, though. Cool stuff.
J'ai un problème que personne ne comprend : comme je parle allemand (au niveau entre B1 et B2), pour moi le problème est de lire ces noms alsaciens comme Ilkirch-Graffenstaden ou Scharrachbergheim-Irmstett à la française 😊
@menelion Ah m'en parle pas ! Plus d'une fois je me suis écorché la bouche lors de ma traversée du massif des Vosges ! 😅 Par contre, top les balises du Club Vosgien !
Have the possibility of applying more than one filter to an email. For example I want all the emails for the address xxx@tutail.com go to folder personal, but if they have a specific subject apply other filter.
I'd love to have some visual feedback if a Search came back empty because there's nothing matching the search string or because not all emails in the specified time range are locally cached.
ability to adjust the text size on all screens (not just zoom in, but actually changing the size), for those of us who have poor vision and can hardly read the tiny default text size
Please work on the import of contacts for iOS. If I import a contact which has information in the notes field, it doesn’t migrate it to Tuta. It’s not usable for me, if this doesn’t work.
Search functionality. When searching for an old email, it should scan everything, not the last 3 months or however far I've scrolled.
Phone alerts. Some times the Tuta app elects not to notify me about new mail, which makes me miss info or events. Wouldn't be a problem if POP3/IMAP were an option, then I could use another app, but that would defeat the security sales pitch.
Those two are my reasons for switching to another email provider.
Mainly applies to mobile apps: 1. Ability to check new emails by pulling down in the inbox (pull-to-refresh). 2. Ability to change the app icon (looking forward for a version with the white background).
I would really appreciate subject line in notification on desktop. It is already working in mobile, I don't know what is the blocker to have it on the desktop as well
this is a long shot that has probably been asked for in the past, but it would be really cool if Proton and Tuta's end to end encryption features automatically worked together. That way you wouldn't have to keep everyone on the same email service to ensure private and convenient emails.
Bitte in der Desktop-Version das Symbol zur Archivierung dauerhaft anzeigen lassen. Am besten sollte man in den Optionen festlegen können, welche Symbole dauerhaft angezeigt werden sollen.
this is a big ask, but one of the things stopping me from switching to Tuta from Proton Mail is the email filtering. Proton Mail offers Sieve filtering, where I can check if the receiving email alias is a member of a contact group, and route is based on that. I have my email aliases as a contact group, and if someone sends an email to an address that deviates from that contact group, it ends up in spam.
a better search function. It's very difficult to find an old email because the word we search is searched in the title and thé body of the email. We should have the possibility to select how and what we are searching. I don't know if i'm clear.
@MurrayWindripper and scheduling email! That would be really usefull. That's something i often use (with other systems) : i write my emails in the evening & schedule them for the morning.
If that option was created i would more gladly use Tutanota for professional tasks :)
It'd be quite useful if I could quickly create reminders for e-mails I receive. Now, when I got an e-mail that requires a follow-up action (one that is not urgent) I create a reminder in calendar, which is a bit tedious. Being able to create quick reminder and get notification (e.g. next weekend) would be helpful. Functionally it would be similar to snoozing e-mails in Gmail 🤔
Here's a 20-minute tutorial In which I demonstrate how I use #Suno AI to cover/remix my tracks in new ways. A few people have been asking me to show this because the website's a little incomprehensible, so I thought I would do a bit of an explainer. Here, I'm using NVDA screen-reader in windows with Google Chrome.
If you are attempting this on MacOS, you will likely have to interact with the item and move over to the play button before being able to do VO+Space to play your item. If you don't, nothing much happens. In all other respects, MacOS works very similarly to windows, so you should be able to follow along with this demo successfully.

Thank you so much Andre! that proves once more my claim that AI won't replace humans, but those who work *with* AI will be far more productive. One question: Can you fine-tune your generations? Like, I noticed in the first acoustic guitar one that there should be an F# E, but it actually was two E's in a row in the bass. Can you tell it something like "look, there is this note, correct it to that"? It might be a stupid question but that's how I work with AI assistants for coding, that's why I'm asking. Thanks!
@menelion I don't know honestly. I just move on because I know what it can do and I have about 4 gigs of files to prove it. When I don't like something, it's easy to simply ignore it. Maybe you can fix those things but I can't say I've found good documentation on it.
Just as an FYI, you can press enter on those artwork icons and the music will start playing. Plus, those artwork thingies only appear when the song has completed processing. So no need to go back to the library after hitting create.
While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.
Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.
This would mean the end of privacy.
If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.
And another great newsletter by Jonathan & Melissa from Raw Signal Group on AI in work and the loss of humane interaction in all of this. "None of this is real and it doesn't matter"
LibreOffice does not include artificial intelligence (AI) out-of-the-box. But many users want AI features in the suite – so we encourage developers to make them available as optional extensions.
check out nextcloud AIO with collabora if you want to selfhost (it's free except for your hosting costs and your time) - it can be used for collab - or just check out collabora online - collaboraonline.com/
Cryptpad is great if you want E2E encryption, i.e. your documents can't be read by the server hosting the documents
I think nextcloud can be set up with E2E encryption too
collabora is libreoffice with online elements and desktop and mobile apps. Collabora contributes a lot to librroffice open source and is itself also open source
I like how any Mr. Beast contest can be described as "What if a bad person was forced to give away large amounts of money but found a way to still be a total dick while doing so?"
So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.
Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.
@feld yeah. I pips 100 a little. I am either gonna have to bring it inside or wait for cooler weather to digitise my films. 😜
I got the documentary “Aliens Expanded” (about the film “Aliens”) and the MKV is 38G. It’ll only take 5 minutes to transfer. But that would be 5 minutes at 100C or more. So, I don’t date.

I had some referrers show up to my blog in the past few days that I consider quite gross. Most fedi instances agree and defederate with them. You probably know the ones.

Other arrangements could be made for Air Canada customers, this was an unnecessary move by the federal government.
"The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want -- hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation,” said CUPE Air Canada Component president Wesley Lesosky in the release."
Air Canada flight attendants have officially begun their strike after failing to reach a deal with the airline, the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced Saturday morning.
MONTRÉAL, June 25, 2025 – Air Canada (TSX: AC) has taken up and paid for 26,595,744 of its Class A Variable Voting Shares and Class B Voting Shares (collectively, the “shares”) at a price of $18.
Krásný výlet to byl, ale smýkat to moje 120 kilové tělo po těch kamenech už je moc. Budu muset to #hubnuti vzít vážně! Koleno bolí, kotník bolí, ostruha bolí a to máme plánované ještě tři tůry. Jak já se těším do práce. 🤣 Vrchol Jizerky, Na Čihadle (rašelina), Frýdlantské cimbuří.
Found this 4GB IDE drive in a desktop being recycled from a relative’s home. PSU fires up but screen remains blank. I may have to resort to destruction to dispose of this. Usually I just dd over the drive. That’s enough for this use case.
For only £2.39 on Kindle at the moment in the UK, you can get all 4 of the Man of His Word fantasy books. Nearly 1,800 pages of escapism which enthralled me greatly the first time I read it. I've been back a handful of times, too.
It's light (but moving), entertaining YA fantasy. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and there's not a lot of grey area. It is a bit heavy on the traditional gender roles, Inos is a princess but she's not helplessly waiting to be rescued, and while Rap is the strong commoner, he's not always right, or always doing the rescuing. They're genuine (if young and not overly complex) people. It's clever, diversionary fantasy with a rich magic system. The sequel is just as good too, which is rare.
Alternatively, for a similarly low price, you can get the series that got me into Dave's writing in the first place. The "world of the Goddess" as they call it in the book, or the seventh sword series, as it's known, is a typical portal fantasy (although I didn't really know the term when it was written).
the protagonist, Wallie Smith, a man from our world, finds his consciousness transferred into the body of a barbarian swordsman in a completely different world. In the classic "fish out of water" narrative, he must navigate the rules, customs, and dangers of the new world. Wallie Smith's journey epitomizes this, as the mild-mannered earthling is suddenly thrust into a society governed by a goddess and a rigid code of swordsmanship.
The twist is great, too. It's one of those utterly fantastic revelations that you had all the material to work out for yourself, so perhaps you will.
The 4th book was written years after the first 3 and is as much an homage to the fans as another story, so if you're going in fresh, enjoy the trilogy as a unit first.
My omnibus copy omited the preface when I bought it, so be wary of that. I did report it to the publisher, so hopefully they fixed it.
@miki Yeah, newer books are harder to decrypt, certainly. the drm stuff works on all my older buys still. I've heard that Epubor Kindle Converter works but not tested yet. Kobo has a working flow too.
Kyiv Independent - President Zelenskyy to meet President Trump in Washington on Monday to discuss ending Russia's war in Ukraine, following a call between the two leaders. kyivindependent.com/zelensky-t…
Zelensky said he supports Trump’s proposal for a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia, noting that the three leaders can cover the “key issues.”
BudgetBraillerBlog: BudgetBraillerBlog Intro. “A manual brailler costs a little under $1,000 and electric braillers cost significantly more. Given that I was just at a 3D printing festival and you can build a 3D printer for under $200, I decided to try to design one.”
The thing I love about open source is that it's possible for an engineer to not only benefit #Fedora as a project, but the entire #Linux community in a single commit.
