Bad business & bad ethics demands boycott. No CEO in the world is worth that kind of salary. All companies rest on the shoulders of their employees - always.
I need people to understand that the Campbell's scandal is happening in *every brand*. This is how all rich people see you. This is not an isolated instance. No brand is your friend. No brand deserves undying loyalty.
derived from the Latin word and concept of 'privatus', which referred to things set apart from what is public; personal and belonging to oneself, and not to the state.
Privacy is feeling like you're on your own toilet at home. As open as possible and as unpretentious as possible. Just as it is understood by those who really need it.
Privacy is ... the problem and surveillance = freedom, according to danish politician Hækkerup and Hummelgaard pushing for mass surveillance of EU citizens through #ChatControl.
Our current minister of justice, Hummelgaard, has aparrently forgotten our constitution, which from 1849 has defined the right to #privacy and secrecy, in written communication.
Oh, but think of the.. (insert whatever excuse fits the current zeitgeist, to further your political agenda; be it foreign enemies, children, enemies from within, illigal emmigrants, etc. It has happened before.)
Makes me sick. And embarased that danes elect people who either didn't read 1984, or didn't understand it.

If something is important enough to me, the minimum number of iterations of it that I must possess, or that must occur is three. I got that from the 3-2-1 data backup strategy, as well as early DNS mantra prescribing three as the minimum number of machines to run to be redundant. In the like vein, I own three pairs of my most-used pair of headphones, I have 4.7TB of my absolute most critical data in three places, And, I have three distinctly independent, redundantly-powered devices tell me the top of the hour.
I have three resonable quality amateur radios, I have my virtual machines backed up five times, with two ready-to-launch hot instances. Okay, that one violates the three rule quite a bit, but its a demanding segment, so I figure store it five times over with two launch points is probably the best I can do. But back on the three rule, I have three credit cards in good standing, I have three bank accounts through three independent banks. And I'm not sure what else just yet, but I'm sure the list goes on, LOL.
Nah, that's where the rule does not apply. In that case, it is a purely binary affair, with the total only being 1 or 0. In the case of the past eleven years, it has been a 0. For me, a girlfriend is not a life-critical, mission-critical requirement. Its more of a nice-to-have little extra, usually with way the fuck too many strings attached, provisos, and compromises that take any worth right back out of it, LOL. So 3 of them are most certainly not required, 0 is fine, and 1 is an extra bonus.

Seems as if i'm gonna have access to a radio based as in my amateur radio will create a astra level I time server for my network. Why you ask, do I need this? No reason really except for if I need it at some point in the future, I won't have to send the radio back and forth. The real reason for having a 10 mHz reference is that my reference source that is crystal based in most cases will not be stabilized using a GPS receiver. It'll ultimately make sure that signals don't drift if I do satellite work or do time critical digital modes. This radio is truly fascinating and boundless feature wise. Will put in my order for Flex 8600 and other stuff such as a modern switching power supply etc. My older equipment still works, but it's all starting to be a bit long in the tooth, so looks as if I'm getting on HF again soon. Really excited.
@gtbray Sorry I missed that part earlier. Very cool. Will definitely do some investigating. They are not cheap though. When I did some quick searching it looked like the 8600 is only for 6 m or am I seeing something different. I assume these must be multiband.
@jfayre they are for all HF bands and you can get one from radio world although it is a special order. course at that price i wouldn't order them in either except as needed.
@jfayre i would like one of those because they are so easy to set up as a remote since they are controled from a computer. glad to see your working on software for it. it's a web interface?
@gtbray @jfayre Nope it's a standard windows app. Has to be since the panadapter or the waterfall as some call it is displayed with braille. I plan on sonifying it too.
@BorrisInABox @gtbray @jfayre neat thing is that you can connect to me for instance and have the full jj flex radio experience since it's a client. Two can use the thing at once.J

Not an American but I proudly used my #Fairphone 3 (2019) until the Fairphone 6 released.
I'm hoping to hold onto it until at least the Fairphone 9 :)
I think it also makes me a better dev to not dev only on the newest and latest and fastest devices but actually make sure the app runs acceptably on slightly older devices too :)
On that note, IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid have a lot of apps that work great on older devices, just a sideload away :) izzyondroid.org/
@SylvieLorxu I've kept my old FP2 (2015) running until this year (2025), I'm a real bad guy: run my devices until they (physically) fall apart or become unusable (FP2 became really slow with today's apps).
Switched to another modular device this year, the SHIFTphone8. @shiftphones shares our goal of sustainability, so I'm counting on using this one as long again 🤗
Oh, btw: Meet SHIFT and us at our shared stand at FOSDEM 2026
@junior I like it. It is a huge upgrade over the 3. I'm sure other phones at the same price point are faster but it is fast enough to be comfortable to me and I really like the switch on the side to quickly switch between DND and regular.
The only issues right now is no official LineageOS support yet and every now and then it seems to memory leak to the point everything gets sluggish until I reboot but that's a minor annoyance to me.

i don't think comparing website size to the apollo guidance computer program memory size is fair or meaningful
the AGC was doing trajectory calculations (something that is quite easy to build a computer for).
the website is putting raster images on a high-resolution screen (something that is significantly harder to build a computer for, and also not a concern whatsoever for people going to the moon in the 70s).
People say they want the *resource usage* of an Apollo Guidance Computer. But when you also give them the *user interface* of the Apollo Guidance Computer, they aren't very happy.
I decided to take a look inside my external keyboard and realized how dirty it was. But, as a blind person, how do I clean it? I wanted to just yank out all of the keys all at once, but then I might have a hard time putting them back in the right places. And I know that I'm being ridiculous--I would not know the difference, it is unlikely that this keyboard will ever be used by someone other than me, and, if a sighted person did start using it for some reason, then they could always rearrange the keys in the right order--but this post isn't meant to be about my excentricities. Another option would be only to take out a couple of keys at a time, so that I could keep track of them and put them back in the right places, but that would be slow and tedious. But then I realized that those weren't my only options. Often, but not always, when we perceive ourselves as having two options, both of which are far from ideal, there are other options that we're not considering that might address most of our concerns, if imperfectly. In my case, I realized that I could take out the keys a couple rows at a time and try to put them in order on my desk so that I could place them back in the right order. I might still end up accidentally pushing some keys around and getting a few of them in the wrong places, but they should still end up mostly in order, and, given that it doesn't even matter to me if they are in order in the first place, it shouldn't be a huge deal if a few of them aren't.
@Libranet Support @Friendica Support Maybe someone can help. An unpleasant post was on my feed, and I don't know why it's there. It's from someone who follows me, but I don't follow them back. It's a friendica account, but not libranet. It doesn't contain any hashtags I follow. Why is it there?
To the right of the posting date you should see a small symbol. When you hover over it, there is an explanatory text that should tell you, why you received the post.
@Michael 🇺🇦 Thanks. To the right of the date there's a filebox icon that reads 'pushed to us' when hovering; I don't usually see that one. To the right of it is the common earth symbol that reads 'public message'.
I wonder why this was 'pushed' and who 'us' refers to.
On the network page (9 square icon) or the community page (concentric circles)? If it's the network page, what "channel" is selected? If it's community, is it local or global?
@Noam writes Check the comments. Maybe someone you follow commented on this, or maybe someone liked/disliked it. I usually get posts like these this way.
I'm glad I purchased the new PC when I did. The Kingston FURY 64GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL36 Beast Expo that I bought two weeks ago for €290 is now €535. 🤯
The Black Friday Window That Shocks the UK: Galaxy Z Fold 7 Drops to an Unbelievable Price
Introduction Every Black Friday brings noise, but only a handful of deals actually shake an entire market. This year, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 offer in the UK is one of those rare moments—an unexpected price collapse that transforms a £1,799 luxury foldable into something finally within reach for everyday buyers. What began as a normal seasonal promotion quickly turned into a…
@FreakyFwoof Doesn't seem to be working very well on Tweesecake.social. My edited posts don't actually seem to update. Going to fully switch to another instance that I already have an account on after sleep because this one is just having more and more issues.
That is super weird and annoying. I'm on two instances and they both edit properly, so it might be the version they're running, or if it's falked or something. Weird.
My advice if you'll accept it, is don't have main account and alt account on same instance. If it goes down, you're off the grid. I've separated main on universeodon.com and alt on hear-me.social, for example. I picked both of these because the first had 1000, now 2000 chars, up from the standard 500, and it looked cool, the second is more music-focused and has 12000 chars. They're run by different admins and in different parts of the world entirely, so no way they should both be down at same time.
Well it was only because you said you were going to switch to an instance you already had an account on. I thought you meant you'd make main and alt on same instance.
Would someone who uses a screen reader (or is an actual expert in the #accessibility area) kindly let me know if the custom of “adding alt text via a reply to a post” is actually helpful or not?
As in, if an image in a post doesn’t have alt text, do you scroll through the replies in the hopes that you find one? Or is this custom not too helpful, because you move on as soon as you find that the image is lacking alt text? Thank you so much for your insights in advance!
Sometimes I will go looking for it, yes. Just depends if the person posting is in the habit of *usually* adding it and just forgot/was too busy. If they'er a serial offender, such as Aaron David (et al) then I just immediately move on.
I'm realizing that I'm slowly turning into an old person. You know, that ChatGPT thingy, or whatever it's called, I don't know what it's good for. You can't trust it. I've lived for 45 years without needing it, and I don't need it now. Alright, I'm going back over to the rocking chair.
Did you know that the 1st commercial #Christmas card was a #marketing scheme for a new #postal service?
In the #UK, prior to the 1840s, letters were paid by distance & sheets. This was expensive & poorer households rarely used it.
Some men decided to implement a general rate of 1 penny per letter. While this doubled the letters sent in the 1st year, it was financially bad for the government.
Entrepreneur Henry Cole commissioned the first Xmas Card in 1843. It was a rousing success.
No, service that I access via my browser, I am not going to install an app for you on my desktop, we both know your "app" is just another instance of Chromium, and that's what my fucking browser is for

Amazon has a 2024 Mac Mini with M4 chip, 256 Gb storage, and 16 Gb unified RAM for $479. I'm thinking about it, as a Christmas present to myself kind of thing. Questions: Is it worth it for AI stuff? All my PC's were manufactured before the AI boom, so don't have good GPU's. Can this Mac Mini run such things as Index-tts and other AI things well? Do you still require a mouse for initial setup? What about a screen? Any other things I should know? I'm not 100% committed to this purchase yet, just putting out feelers. Please boost for reach. Thanks.
@FreakyFwoof I don't really care about LLM's. I'm more interested at this point in audio/voice manipulation things. A few years ago RVC was the big new thing. Now @Derek has been playing with Index-tts github.com/index-tts/index-tts which as I understand it is sort of a poor man's local ElevenLabs.
@FreakyFwoof It uses more GPU ram than anything else. Attempts to try to share regular ram with RAM from a GPU have ended in a whole lot of work for some serious pointlessness. The process of sharing resources between the two different types of RAM actually takes up just as much as, or more time, then it takes to just let the GPU handle everything.
@FreakyFwoof The biggest issues with running a local AI is (A) not having access to a god tier GPU, and/or (B) taking forever to respond to one query/action.
If you do get one, you'll also want one of those HDMI dummy monitor things if you plan to not hook it up to a screen.
I seem to recall some people saying weird things happen if you try to initially set it up without a mouse, even if you don't actually use the mouse.
I'd be concerned with only having 16GB RAM available for both the system and GPU for that kind of thing, though, but I have no practical experience. It won't be nearly as fast as having dedicated GPU RAM for sure.
@BorrisInABox That mouse issue has been fixed for over a year, didn't have the problem when I set up this M2 Mini, but VoiceOver won't work quite right without a display so yes, dummy plug if you won't be using a monitor.
1st and last time ever I'm interested in Jaws. It seems like they already have scripts to improve that horrible WhatsApp web experience. It's seriously going on my nerves at this point and let's be real, there's no way to leave it any time soon so please just make it somewhat smoother to use.
SoundSource 6 is just a few days away! If you’re not already using SoundSource, you can purchase version 5 now and be upgraded to version 6 when it arrives, free of charge.
If you are already using SoundSource, you’re going to love version 6. Coming very, very soon!
Sad to see the the @rust forum uses HCaptcha, thus preventing me as a blind user from signing up and posting my projects there. I'd like to escalate this to the right people, but it's hard to do so without an account on the forums. Anyone got any suggestions/know who I can reach about this? #Rust #Rustlang #Accessibility
