Liebe #FediKirche, am Samstag, 21.2.2026 ist online das nächste #GottDigital #Barcamp . Wir wollten ja mal einen #Fediverse Workshop anbieten. Diesmal geht das relativ einfach, indem man sich am Anfang der Veranstaltung meldet. Ich habe bisher Zeit und würde mitmachen. Wer ist noch dabei als Teilgeber?

Don't believe those who loudly claim email can not avoid metadata! They are ignorant of our continuous works on minimizing metadata:

DONE:

- no phone number other identifying data needed
- no cleartext "Subject"
- no cleartext "To"
- randomized "Date"
- no IP addresses
- group/avatar/attachment/etc metadata only contained in encrypted message parts

Upcoming:

- servers to never see cryptographic ID metadata
- remove "threading" and auxilliary headers
- experiment with Sealed Sender


So a popular type of subtitle format is called "Advanced SubStation" file, or (I'm not making this up) an ASS file.

Because this word is also a mild English profanity, naturally it's almost impossible to search the web for implementation details.

"Does YouTube take ASS subtitles" doesn't yield a good result. As such, I have a hard time using it.

Remember kids, names matter. Naming your project something funny isn't always a great way to speed adoption. Even when it kicks ass!

🚨 NEW VIDEO: The Windows Exodus Has Begun.

2025 was the breaking point. Forced hardware retirement and intrusive AI have sparked a mass migration to GNU/Linux. In this video, I explore:

📈 The data behind the 3.20% Steam high.

🇪🇺 How the EU is saving millions by ditching Microsoft.

🛡️ Why 2026 is the year of Digital Sovereignty.

Stop fighting your OS. Start owning it.

Are you asking for proof of my disability? That is a deeply personal and invasive question. I do not share the specifics of my medical history or my personal assistive setup to qualify my lived experience or my work. Accessibility is a broad field, and my use of the tag stands on the standards I maintain for my content and the economic accessibility I advocate for.

You are gatekeeping a hashtag (which is silly) because you believe I am not disabled enough. That is wrong. I will not be replying to you again.

Getting very grumpy with people ghosting me over several #Accessibility fails I gave feedback for over the last month or so.

Emailed Winchester Christmas Market organisers because despite the event being listed as fully accessible, there was no way for a wheelchair user to actually approach 95% of the stalls there because they were up a step. Got an auto-mail stating the inbox was regularly monitored and they aim to respond to everything within 1-2 business days. No response. 3 weeks and waiting.

Emailed Showcase cinema because of poor quality viewing despite paying extra for fancy seats, the wheelchair accessible ones were right at the front and the image was warped and weird and the audio was atrocious. Plus one of the seats was broken and wouldn't recline.
One response from a manager asking if the staff member we'd spoken to about the broken seat offered us anything (they didn't), no response since. 2 weeks and waiting.

Moin aus Schleswig, wir sind #neuhier und verbinden die #Jahreslosung2026 "Siehe, ich mache alles neu!" mit dem #DID. Uns kennenlernen könnt Ihr über www.efg-schleswig.de (schon länger Wordpress), (noch) youtube.com/@evangelisch-freik… (wer empfiehlt uns einen PeerTube-Server?), Instagram instagram.com/baptisten.schles… (PixelFed kommt!) und facebook.com/BaptistenSchleswi… (eher Friendica oder Hubzilla?).

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.

Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

feels very relatable. I have half of my migration script done so I got the data at least local but since I want to either build my own custom forge software or cgit+mailinglist (less preferred option) its stuck. Wither on building the software or on me setting up all the lists in mailman...

(I don't want forgejo mainly because it 2 times self destructed on me to a point of impossible to recover. So I gave up on it for now. Codeberg I dont want since I dont want to land in another forge out of my control. I may set up codeberg mirrors for my more recent projects though)

1/2 Because I'm hearing a lot to the opposite effect and the discussion of it happens of course entirely in German and thereby without input from non German speakers:
If you want the international community to engage with you and your topic, it is highly appreciated by many if you hold your talk in English. Be the live translation as good as it may, it does not invite to interact with you and your topic if your talk is in German. #39c3

📣 Do-It-Blind (DIB) online Besprechung am Montag, 5. Jänner, um 19:00 Uhr. Du bist eingeladen! bbb.metalab.at/rooms/joh-szv-o… Wöchentlich am Montag besprechen wir neue Formen der digitalen und inklusiven Zusammenarbeit. Mach mit! 🛠️ #make #blind #inklusion

Good morning everyone. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

This is the first science post of 2026, and hopefully I will be able to do more this year.
The Holidays were great and very awesome.

Always remember, you matter and to always be kind.

Today we are gonna be talking about The Integrated Circuit.

An integrated circuit (IC) is a miniature electronic circuit in which thousands to billions of electronic components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes-are fabricated onto a single small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Instead of building circuits with separate components, an IC combines them into a single, compact, and efficient unit. Because everything is built onto a single chip, ICs are smaller, faster, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than circuits made from discrete components.

Wir freuen uns über das gelungene Interview "Hilfsmittel gemeinsam entwickeln – das Open-Source-Projekt OSKAR" von Christian Stahlberg vom Sightviews Podcast. Die Folge bietet eine gute Vorstellung und Überblick unserer Tätigkeiten. sightviews.de/316-oskar #make #blind #inklusion

For a while, I have had to turn off VoiceOver speech on my phone at night, because VoiceOver shouts "100% charged" every few minutes once the battery is full. Since iOs 2026.2, I have to turn VoiceOver off completely, because under yet to be determined conditions, VoiceOver falls into a restart loop, turning on its speech, and reading out loud the screen contents. Apparently it briefly disables screen curtain as well, which doesn't bother me, but very much so my wife. Glad that Apple has such a swift track record in fixing accessibility bugs. /s

thoughts from an anti-spam professional:

If the unencrypted Date header is more than a few hours off, it is likely to be blocked as spam. Randomly skewing it by up to 1800 seconds in either direction should be safe. Changing the time zone to grossly mismatch the geoIP is probably unwise, though +0000 is fine.

I suspect you're trying to make your headers super generic with all the important and identifiable aspects (and metadata) in the encrypted body. That's a good move, just be careful about spam filters.

One of my few remaining skills is loading a dishwasher. My wife watches in awe of my dish organization to utilize space and still get them clean. Can you load a dishwasher? #Poll #Survey #Kitchen #Dishwasher

The Indonesian discourse over dogs is really disgusting and despicable. They’re willing to haramize an entire species just because the saliva is haram. They’re willing to ignore hadiths and surahs saying dogs are friends and guardians, and tales about heavenly rewards for feeding starving dogs, all just because they can’t be fucked to use water and soap.

The Quran actually advised Muslims to consume meat from an animal caught by dogs trained to hunt because it’s meant for consumption. And yet people have gone out of their way to pretend the verse didn’t mention dogs when it specifically does.

Well, the numbers are in: 72% of all electricity in the EU in 2025 came from low carbon sources.

67% if you want to exclude biofuels, which "low carbon" credentials are disputable.

When was the last time you went out for a few hours, without any device?

a worthwhile read about sitting alone somewhere without any connected devices candost.blog/the-unbearable-jo…

Since 10 years, i am also doing this weird thing where my mobile is mostly offline, only using WIFI here and there, but i am going to more often leave devices completely at home. It's really crazy how much this once normal situation is like a super-big deal these days.
