The telecom giant claims its exit from public internet exchanges will give customers "lower latencies." The evidence suggests they're in for a nightmare.
DTE is asking state utility regulators in #Michigan to fast-track a data center near Ann Arbor, skip public hearings, The Detroit News reports. They want to keep the unions out. No data centers without union construction, union workers, and a plan to mitigate damage to the planet and higher utility bills. #1u
It does use other indexes but its very different. It ranks pages itself. No ads and a lot of customization that lets you go back in time to when search didn't suck. The Lenses is the other
It's not perfect but it's my main engine at this point.
that is much needed. Unfortunately, one in my knowledge has found a solution to a main issue: covering the operational costs. But would be amazing to have such a 'common sense' platform.
I was thinking about the benefit of compiling Erlang/Elixir C NIFs with Fil-C, but that won't really help much. It has security benefits but not reliability benefits.
Fil-C programs are supposed to crash if you do something really bad, and this will take out the BEAM ...
A recent update in Debian broke usage of the compose key in @dino and @gajim and other GTK software. I have no idea what's going on, but I can no longer type "ü" or some other characters. :(
I'm not even sure where I would report such a bug.
SanDisk's just released the tiniest 1-TB Type-C drive on the market today. It's like a stubby little dongle that you'd usually use as a wireless receiver for a mouse, and despite its diminutive size, it actually boasts pretty decent performance.

There's currently an issue that prevents Fedora Atomic OSTree distros from upgrading.
A comment in the forum links to an issue, where the *preview* title for the link was changed to "Making sure you're not a bot!" from the issue tracker… and the issue itself is also due to Anubis running on the server for the updates sending the interstitial "Making sure you're not a bot!" page instead of actual data.
Every time I run sudo rpm-ostree upgrade I get the error: error: While pulling fedora/43/x86_64/updates/kinoite: Corrupted commit object; checksum expected='10ed48669028567c29acfda34e70290581e1c8d4f4538d79bea36c03710a4cf6' actual='160e1991dc7aceede2…
It's sad that everyone has to put up "Making sure you're not a bot!" pages across the Internet (especially when it comes to FOSS). But they have to, to prevent scrapers from hitting sites so hard.
It's kind of funny that it's "Making sure you're not a bot!" at multiple levels here. So the unintended title switch in the comment is actually appropriate in this case.

Nochmal zu meiner gestrigen Kritik am #39c3-Talk „Digitale Inklusion: Wie wir digitale Barrierefreiheit für alle erreichen können“, die bei einigen sehr übel aufgestoßen ist und Leute meinen, ich hätte mich dazu „wie die Axt im Walde“ verhalten: Der Talk ist wirklich unterirdisch schlecht - dare I say - „scheiße“. Und das sag ich jetzt nicht nur so, sondern ich habs etwas ausführlicher und konstruktiver für euch ausgearbeitet:
So. Wie angekündigt: Alles folgt denselben Dynamiken wie sonst auch immer, wenn jemand/vornehmlich Frauen aus einer marginalisierten Gruppe sagen, dass was für $marginalisierteGruppe kacke ist, und die Kritik ausnahmsweise mal die eigene Community betrifft, auf die man Einfluss hat. (1/11)

@hub The 2.4% rise compares with a low level the year earlier (2024 October was down 47% from a year earlier.) Through the first 10 months of this year, Tesla registrations in France are down 30%.
#deltachat is a private messaging app. It'd be easy enough to offer various public groups to boost onboarding, and let everyone play. But one would land in a large group that isn't very private, with lots of needs for moderation tooling, troll handling and other social-media issues. Not our current cup of tea.
We are grateful for the many folks here onboarding their families, projects or friends, founding special-interest chats, setting up #chatmail relays etc. This is wonderful, cheers!
Maybe something a bit in the opposite direction: private relays. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to set up a relay that requires invite/password/some other auth to sign up.
I'd like to onboard my employer with our own relay for employees, but not for others.
@michael there are some consideration (and a PR) on more closed modes of operating relay onboarding. However, it's a bit like using a train with 50k seats with a few people only :)
It hasn’t received much attention, but the government and official opposition - ie. the Liberals and Conservatives - have been quietly working to pass legislation that undermine the privacy rights of Canadians, effectively exempting themselves from t…
Aber ist uns eigentlich bewusst, was hier gerade passiert ist?
Der Dienstleister, der das für #SH umgesetzt hat, hat sich gerade ein weltweit einmaliges Wissen erarbeitet. 40.000 Postfächer migrieren? Das ist kein Projekt, das ist eine Doktorarbeit in Sachen digitaler Unabhängigkeit.
Was glauben Sie, ist dieses Wissen wert? Und warum reden wir nicht darüber, wie wir diese Expertise in ganz Europa skalieren?
Je viens d’accompagner madame à son travail à vélo. J’ai utilisé l’appli streetcomplete.app pour renseigner la largeur d’une voie cyclable, le revêtement d’une route, la présence d’un point d’eau potable et le nombre de marches d’un escalier. C’est à la fois addictif et utile ce truc. Je me souviens des difficultés à trouver de l’eau en randonnée vélo et des points d’information obsolètes.
alors dans le même genre tu as aussi #mapcompletemapcomplete.org/ qui permet de voir, modifier ou ajouter facilement un type de données en particulier.

I don't know what i typed to get here, but i was trying to go the the amazon uk website, and ended up on the instagram page for someone called "Starmer the Banana", and I'm giggling.
I was once looking for a commandline tool named "fuck" (it's a sort of "autocorrect" for mistyped commands, because when you type something and it doesn't work, you say "fuck").
So, without much thinking, I typed "fuck" into Google...
@miki Lol not as if the actual name, the fuck, would have gotten you anything better either! And if one had typed fuck GitHub you probably would have run across some angry rant about it being owned by Microsoft.
So Google is building a massive AI data centre on Christmas Island, a tiny remote Australian territory with 1,692 people, and it’s exactly the kind of dystopian tech imperialism you’d expect. They’re militarising a small island community in the name of cloud computing, partnering with the Australian Defence Department to monitor Chinese submarines and enable AI powered warfare systems. The island becomes a pawn in great power conflicts while Google extracts strategic value. Meanwhile, locals are promised vague economic benefits while their homeland gets turned into a surveillance node with subsea cables linking to US Marine bases. Classic extractive colonialism dressed up as innovation. The energy demands alone, powered by a local mining company, naturally, are staggering. Big Tech continues doubling our electricity costs for AI toys while communities bear the burden. Christmas Island is known for red crab migrations, not military infrastructure. But when you’re a trillion dollar corporation, even the most remote ecosystems are just real estate for your empire.
And I'm one of the people they claim to be "helping!" I don't get government benefits of any kind, I have started and run a successful small business, i pay my taxes, I am lower-middle class, and the administration has only made my life harder, made things cost more and I'm now looking at needing to not work at all simply so I can be poor enough and have enough time to try and get on the system so I can have healthcare. They are literally driving people like me away from employment and into the arms of the system in order to survive.
Every time any fucking Australian MP takes questions about the new social media ban the first fucking question should include "and yet you continue to post to X, why on earth should anyone care about your opinion on any of this". These fucks can't step away from their Nazi Bar, because they're pathetic junkies. I trust that my 4 year old won't visit the internet sewers these fucks love.
"Prime Minister, you continue to post to a site that is full of spam, Nazis and CSAM. The owner of the site *personally* intervened to remove a ban on someone who posted a screenshot from absurdly vile child abuse material. Why the FUCK should anyone give any weight to a goddam thing you think about any of this, given you personally can't keep yourself/your staff away from these sewers."
Remember kids: "Passive income" is a term used to describe wealth handed out to people by society, through our economic system, without doing any work.
Many people receiving a "passive income" are intergenerationally wealthy, as opposed to the working class and long-term unemployed people who receive social welfare payments.
Because of this, they're referred to as passive income /earners/ not passive income /recipients/. Conversely, we have social welfare /recipients/ not social welfare /earners/.
As a society, we've decided that Joe Heir and Jane Heiress deserve their wealth, even if they've never done a full day's work in their lives. And there are no income tests for this wealth, so they get these handouts even if they don't need them.
Conversely, we've collectively decided that welfare recipients are bludgers. Welfare payments are also vigorously means tested. The burden of proof is entirely on you to claim and prove you deserve these payments.
The one exception to this social welfare rule is when handouts go to the rich, whether that's in the form of subsidies or tax breaks.
Because there's one law for the rich, and another for the poor.
Hi everyone! We are glad you are excited for the quote posts! They will come eventually but right now we (and I mean mostly Conny) are in the process of rewriting the timeline to be able to accommodate for quotes, it might take some time. We are only a few people who do this in our free time. We can't give you a time estimate but of course we also want it out as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
On that note, we are very low on capacity with both dev and non-dev things. If you want to help us out please don't be afraid to reach out. We are able to compensate some work, but we need to talk about it first.
ok, communication might not be my strong suit, but I think I could help with the organization stuff. If you can please send me an ✉️ to hoyhagositioparagentenueva[at]gmail[dot]com with your needs and expectations, we can continue the conversation from there. Cheers! 👋
You're doing a great job. Developing a network like this is hard work, and with low capacity in dev and non-dev, everyone will have to be patient. Which isn't a bad thing.
mettre la détection de la langue est bien plus important pour l'accessibilité linguistique, les citations au contraire ça sert pas à grand chose et peut même être néfaste si utiliser façon twitter
So next step, adopting the ability to hide quote posts from timelines the same way we can boosts 👍 Mastodon web UI already has the setting, hopefully it's transparently available in the API, too.
As the leading provider of accessibility training, Digital Access Training is proud to offer on-demand courses that make it easy for you to learn at your own time and convenience.
Oh hive mind, I'm going to have to get more dedicated when it comes to documenting printed receipts of expenses for taxes. I heard a rumor there's an app you can use to photograph, and it will input data into something organized. Can anyone confirm? As an enormous bonus, does anyone know of a solution that's accessible with screen reading technology? A box of receipts is like an albatross around your neck if you're blind. Thanks.
Pokud se nepletu, sedmitečné a sytě červené bylo tady vždycky tradiční, ale poslední dobou sem imigrovaly „čínské berušky“ (oranžové, víc teček), které jsou agresivní a ty tradiční prakticky zlikvidovaly.
„Slunéčka východní vytlačila slunéčka dvojtečná, která v české krajině skoro nemáme. Slunéčka sedmitečná ještě můžeme vidět, ale mnohem méně, než si je pamatujeme například z dětství.“
Světlé a prosluněné fasády domů lákají slunéčka východní, kterým se také říká čínské berušky. Běžně v krajině vyhledávají štěrbiny ve skalách nebo dutiny stromů, kde by se mohly schovat před mrazem.
So now there’s official quote boosts on Mastodon I want to make it clear that the only valid use for this is “look at this great thing, here’s why I like it” and “I agree, here’s my yes-and”
Quote dunking is absolutely not allowed for anything; anyone doing that goes in the unfollow/block bin. Even if you’re right, you’re just boosting the reach of crap I don’t want to see, and dragging the tone down to those other places. Don’t do it.
Waiting for Tusky support now, otherwise I would've quote boosted this to add that evil people want to be quoted dunked, as it expands their reach, so if you hate someone's guts quote dunking is the worst thing you can do
Dear websites, please just stop with the AI chat bot rubbish. If I want to search through your published info for something, I'm probably better at it than your chatbot.
And when I close the chat and rate it "1 - Terrible"... Maybe don't respond with "Great! What went well?" Because that just reinforces why I don't want to use your crappy chat bot in the first place.....
I see a lot of reporting about the Louvre theft and that the French people are "relieved" that thieves got caught or that we feel "humiliated" that it happened in the first place.
Absolutely not. Nobody around me cares one bit about it. We care about the public service disappearing, we care about the rampant corruption in the political spheres, we care about the pensions they're trying to steal from us.
We're more than ready to trade stupid jewels for transparent democracy that works.
So I read that the 3 months it took to resolve the licence compliance issue is "unacceptable by Fedora" with strong implications that it should've been done faster and _immediately_. This is a bit sad that someone dug up another thing to criticise on.
Firstly, the fixes were deployed on most part within 1-1.5 month. The public announcement took longer due to various external factors like consulting lawyers. The date to drop EOL runtime and apps which didn't receive the fix is set in January 2026 because we wanted to give people enough time before dropping things left and right beneath their shoes.
Secondly, none of the changes I did was specifically "for Fedora". My motivation was to fix our own runtimes. I saw it as any other issue filed. So it probably doesn't matter to me whether it's acceptable or unacceptable to them. I don't really care.
Lastly, I'm not sure what is the expectation here but since everyone is a volunteer and we don't have an army (we barely have 5 or 6 people) working on this, large scale changes like this are going to take time and people just have to deal with it.
Adrian vovk and I iterated on how the licences should be installed multiple times over almost a month with several fixes and adjustments being done. We wanted to get the automation mostly correct and future-proof... so that we won't need to touch it every few days on a per element basis. That would've been just annoying to deal with.
This work was also exposed as a stable and public API by fdsdk which fdsdk's downstream junctions can depend on. Designing something that downstreams can depend on for the foreseeable future also takes time.
In parallel, at that time fdsdk was preparing for its yearly major release (25.08) that demanded a bunch of attention.
Then just backporting and rebuilding all branches of all the runtimes is going to take time as there is no unlimited supply of runners or infrastructure. Reviving EOL branches also takes significant time and effort.
These changes are huge as it involves rebuilding everything in the project. fdsdk for example takes close to 1200-1400 minutes for each rebuild.
Criticisms like this when the intention was to genuinely solve the issue properly and quickly and collaborate, leaves an odd sour taste.
