as foretold for many months, now that v0.20.0 of #GoToSocial is released, we have removed our mirror of the code from Github, and removed all our other archived repositories from there as well

all development has been taking place solely on @Codeberg for months now, we just didn't want to remove our repo from Github immediately when we switched, since people might have been relying on it; so if you hadn't moved whatever mirrors / build systems etc to our codeberg repo yet, you ought to do it

Poll: I have to know, is there *anyone* at all in the UK that wants this 'Digital ID?' I can't vote in my own poll so I'll state categorically that I absolutely do not. Hate the idea on a visceral level.

  • Yes, I'm fine with a Digital ID (5%, 11 votes)
  • No, I'm not fine with a Digital ID (83%, 173 votes)
  • I'm undecided about Digital ID (6%, 13 votes)
  • Something else, I'll reply with more info (5%, 11 votes)
208 voters. Poll end: in 4 days

Basé sur le logiciel Element, développé par la fondation #Matrix, ce service constitue une alternative à Microsoft Teams ou Slack ✨

The Matrix.org Foundation doesn't develop the Element Software Suite, @element does :)

There is a flurry of other nice clients, such as Cinny, Nheko, FluffyChat and many others so everyone can find one to their liking!

We've just fought #ChatControl - now Ireland 🇮🇪 wants its own backdoor law. 🔓

But we, together with ~40 orgs, are saying no.

Kdysi na základní škole jsme si psali s vrstevníky ze Sovětského svazu. Nejdřív jsme si nejspíš museli „dobrovolně“ vybrat adresu, pak už to bylo na nás. Mě to bavilo, později jsem si řekl o další adresu a vedle Nataši jsem si psal i s Innou. Až mě mrzelo, když to potom přestalo fungovat a naštvalo, když mi taťka vyhodil starší dopisy.

Teď uvažuju, že bych začal znovu, i když moje ruština není, co bývala. Jen teď by to bylo в тюрьму.

Jak napsat dopis politickému vězni do Ruska: podrobný návod

Různým formám politicky motivovaného trestního stíhání čelí v Rusku aktuálně přes 3 850 ruských a ukrajinských občanů. Přes 1200 lidí z toho je stíháno za protiválečné postoje.

I am somewhat surprised to see frame.work (user upgradable / fixable, if rather expensive, computer seller) setting out its stall in this way, in the face of the concerns raised.

> We deliberately create a big tent ... We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.

Even if they were considering this solely from a business point of view, I'd have thought that this stance would alienate quite a lot of their target market.

Framework supporting far-right racists?

Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality.

Ne, není, ale ot o nejde. Používám to jako daily driver pracovní mašinu, a na tyhecty kravinky typu "nainstaluju betu a počkám, jestli to další tři měsíce bude stabilní" nějak už není nálada ani čas 🙂

(A na domácím desktopu chci taky raději trávit čas hraním, čuměním na filmy nebo Pornhub, ne rýpáním se pod kapotou...)

Ono to stejně časem přijde, plně stable, s dalším LTS, tak proč pálit čas 🙂

@theron29 No, je to jen o přístupu, každý to máme jinak a je to tak dobře. Taky používám Fedoru jako daily driver a na hrátky mám jiný počítač, ten v dílně. Ale každopádně to jak píšeš, že nainstaluju betu a pak čekám zda bude stabilní je fakt blbost, beta Fedory je bezproblémová a pro někoho kdo rád zkouší nové věci a tím pádem nemá rád Vintage distra, které v roce 25 mají kernel max 6.11 a Gnome 46, je Fedora, nebo Arch ta správná volba. 🤷‍♂️ Není čas, ztrácet čas 😁 @archos @johnny @zoufalec

Да убедим евродепутатите от Продължаваме промяната да отхвърлят Chat Control

От fightchatcontrol.eu изглежда, че мнозинството български евродепутати не са заели позиция по темата #chatcontol - може би типичната българска тактика на снишаване. Обаче сред нерешилите са Ицо Хазарта и Станислав Минчев. Предвид контекста на българското задкулисие, това ми изглежда като една неубедителна позиция, която може и трябва да бъде променена.

OK open source security nerds, I need your help

I have a podcast youtube show thing called Open Source Security

opensourcesecurity.io/

I'm always looking for guests. Back when I changed formats in January I had a pretty large list of people sent to me as suggestions. I've made it through the list (it took me 10 months)

If you know someone (or are someone) doing open source security work I would love a suggestion. DMs are open and there are other contact things on the website

I especially like guests who are unsung heroes

well well. Got the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT E-GPU enclosure (using it over OCULink) - works really well through ROCM and Linux! Linux FTW. I can get at least 3-4 words a seconds out of its 20-21 teraflops of power, certainly nowhere near the 100+ Teraflops of Int16 floatingpoint you get on RTX 5060 TI or above, but better than the 15 to 16 you get on the RTX 4060. In my tests it does way better, at least compared to the 780M Radion GPU that's built-in, it's a huge leap forward. Probably a near 3-times jump.

So conservatives are calling for people to drop Netflix because of a few transgender shows they have on the streaming service. These people need to realize these streaming services serve a wide variety of people and beliefs, not just their narrow minded world view. They are not going to just cater to the closed mindedness of a few people who can't be bothered to just change the channel. They are claiming that these shows are pushing a "transgender agenda" whatever that is supposed to mean. They are just TV shows and nothing more, if you don't want to watch them then don't. Now I want to check them out just to see them. I would not have even heard of them if it had not been for some nuts getting their panties in a wad. So Netflix should thank these people for the publicity. Back in my day if our parents didn't want us to watch something you know what they did, they didn't let us watch it. We may not have always agreed with it but the rules were enforced. My folks didn't expect the TV networks to do their job and baby sit us. They were smart enough to know that there were going to be some shows they didn't like so they didn't watch them and didn't let us watch them until we were old enough to make those informed choices on our own. It is time we got back to the days of learning if you don't like something on TV then don't watch it. Stop thinking you have a right to decide what everyone else watches because you don't. These calls for people to drop a certain service or boycott a TV show usually have the opposite effect because they make people curious about the shows. Also most people are smart enough to realize that these shows and services are not pushing some kind of agenda. I mean to shows with straight people push a straight agenda? The whole idea is laughable to most of us. It is simple. If you don't like it, then don't watch it and something else to keep in mind, Netflix was not meant to do your job as a parent. Being a parent means deciding what your own kids watch, not everyone else's. Do your job and don't expect Netflix or any other TV network or streaming service to do it. Being a parent is not their job, it is yours.

A year of sunrises - 13 pictures of the sun, each month, same place, same time.

"One of the best places in Edmonton to see the sunrise point change along a familiar horizon is Valleyview Drive, which is where I photographed sunrise once a month for a year. This image is the final result of stacking 13 sunrise images from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, to visually depict the change in the sunrise point over a year." - Photographer, Luca Vanzella.

#Photography #Sunrise

A composite time-lapse photograph of a sunrise or sunset over a city skyline, credited to Luca Vanzella. The image consists of thirteen horizontal panels stacked on top of each other, showing the progression of the sun across the horizon and the corresponding changes in the color of the sky, from dark blue to bright orange and yellow.

@tychotithonus it's not clean, you have to replace all the packages after you change the repos. And then force install the FreeBSD-* packages over the GhostBSD-* packages. It's annoying and it will eat your /etc/passwd and group files. You could break your system I bet, and it would be annoying to have to boot up a rescue disk to repair it, but it went fine for me. I was prepared for surgery if necessary 🥸
