Ja, "klicken Sie nicht auf unbekannte Links" – auch nicht auf solche, die mit "Scanne jetzt" beschriftet sind.
Das Zeug kommt hier täglich vorbei. Der Link führt zu einer Domain, der man also getrost unterstellen kann, mit Malware infiziert zu sein. Möchte jemand raten, welche das ist? Eine vage Idee haben einige jetzt bestimmt schon, also kann ich auch "Butter bei die Fische" geben:
storage.googleapis.com
Jupp. Deren Betreiber ständig meint, wir wären befallen 🤦♂️ Keywords: Fegen, Tür, eigene
I can find an action to open a conversation, but not to dismiss it. I tried CTRL+G out of habit and it opened, but CTRL+apostrophe doesn't dismiss, nor does just pressing delete... Still looking though.
Improvements and Fixed Issues An error which prevents adding new contacts has been fixed Issues with creating new accounts have been fixed Feedback box on error reports is shown again Have a look at the changelog for a complete list.
@FastSM Wondering if there is already, or could be, a way for Mona and Fast SM to stay in sync? It does appear that Fast SM knows the last toot I read in Mona, but after doing some reading on Fast SM, it seems like Mona isn't aware of my new place.
Replying here. Mona uses it's own API for syncing. If it were to add support for Mastodon's home timeline sync API, which I did request a few times, then it'd work with no issues. I already see this working in Tusker, which does support this.
* at around 10:10 a full minute on IzzyOnDroid (though more the client written by Sunil) * short mentions at around 08:54 (our "Get it on" badge) and 14:03 (in context of Obtainium).
I was just a bit confused of what the narrator meant when saying "app store" (hint: not the store, but always the client app) 🙈
Seems this video was made just before #Droidify launched 0.6.8 with download counts, so it calls download stats as #NeoStore-exclusive, but oh well, still cool :)

I like it being called "App store", even if it is wrong, but it help for people to understand what it is used for. The app store in which each app is free.
And still I hate using the word "app". It's an application, or a device driver, or a kernel, or a whatever........
@kobold I'm with you there concerning the terminology – but what twists the hay between my ears is: calling the client "app store", to me sounds like calling the shopping cart "supermarket" 🙈
Sorry, no offense meant at all, that well might just be me…
@kobold "app store client"? 🤷♂️ As I said, it was a bit confusing for me. As long as everyone knows what is meant, well… Not complaining there.
And thanks for your thanks, putting in some motivation 🤗 Seeing one makes people happy, and seeing the people showing that happiness, can't be bought with any money!
FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): Sun Feb 1, 09:35 CET, UB5.230 (my last talk)
Accessible Sovereignty: Why the Four Freedoms Depend on Inclusion (Community devroom)
Thesis: the Four Freedoms are not real if people with disabilities cannot use the tools, study them, share them, and improve them in practice. Accessibility is the operational layer that makes software freedom exercisable.
This bizarre, hurried cut-and-paste Bluesky clone called "W" (wsocial.eu) says it will fill this huge gap in Europe where no social media platforms exist.
A curated selection of well-moderated Open Social providers that are are open for registration and serving specific countries, regions or cities.

“Procurement Is the Biggest Form of Fundraising for FLOSS” Track: Funding the FOSS Ecosystem 
Thesis: donations are optional and fragile. Procurement is structural. If public buyers require open deliverables and upstream work, they create durable funding for maintenance and security.
is it technically possible to throw a whatsapp web automation session like mcp on a server and spin up my own custom client? I'm done with this. why can't people collectively stop using this peace of crap.
WhatsApp Web becomes far more usable with Jamie Teh's script. I've stopped loathing it and now only mildly hate it. The actual desktop app though, no good.
WhatsApp If you use WhatsApp on Windows, you are likely aware by now that WhatsApp have discontinued the UWP app and replaced it with an app that effectively...
Don't really need one. Just install the equivalent called 'Tamper Monkey' and make sure it allows user-scripts. I'm using it in Chrome with this extension without any trouble.
@FreakyFwoof weird. successfully installed. it doesn't seem to behave as described. pressing alt + 1 doesn't do anything for me. neither other functions work. not sure if it's a brave problem.
I spent several minutes trying to figure out why the second port of my Roland SC-88ST Pro wasn't responding. I checked Device Manager, turned it off and on several times, checked every setting in my MIDI player....... only to realize the problem was that I'd connected the MIDI cables backwards, plugging the output cable into the input port.

What do multiplayer text games actually look like in 2026? 🤔
This updated guide highlights 10 long-running Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs) you can still play today, along with 3 additional games that opened more recently.
It also covers #accessibility features, web clients, and a beginner-friendly walkthrough for anyone curious about getting started.
Quite a milestone for Czech #Meshcore: Bohemia and Moravia functioned as two islands, because crossing the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands is not exactly easy. But today, the connection has been established. The two islands are beginning to function as a single network.
@jan_petrus someone has to start it in the area. 😉 A well-located repeater (on a hill, high building) can cover a large area and connect it with other regions.
@jan_petrus I'm in Zdarské vrchy. Unfortunately, it's in the hills. I tried it last year at home, but without success. Maybe now is the right time? I see someone in Zdar nS.

Let me present: - i am an IT expert - i was an European Digital Expert - i co funded PC Soft in 1984 - i am retired now
What make my day: - taking portraits - hearing music - install a new app on my mini server - learning innovative technologies - giving advices to startups
Even I ran in to some trouble installing #FastSM. Following Windows conventions, I first tried copying the files to Program Files and running from there, but got a script exception error. Moving the FastSM folder to the root of my c: drive solved everything. For now it may be a good idea to document the manual installation process somewhere, ideally before downloading.
I'm pretty sure it's Windows fault, not FastSM. Nowadays Windows highly discourages from installing programs from Zip archives into Program Files, as far as I know. You need elevation, admin rights and so on. Probably if you tried "Run as Administrator", it would have worked. but many programs nowadays install themselves to other locations such as %LocalAppData%/Programs.
Wenn das mit der eigenen Mastodon-Instanz gut klappt, dann werde ich irgendwann voll dorthin umziehen. Ein kleines eigenes Heim im Fediverse, vielleicht mit Menschen, die ich noch vom Fediverse überzeugen möchte oder Anderen, die an friedlichem, aber intensivem Austausch interessiert sind.
Was erhoffst du dir von diesem Mehraufwand? Ich habe schon mehrfach darüber nachgedacht, aber am Ende möchte ich ja mit Menschen in Kontakt bleiben, und zwar nicht nur mit den selben fünf Hanseln, d.h. ich bin am Ende bloß mit allen anderen Servern, bis auf einige fragwürdige Ausnahmen verbunden, die bei mir auf dem Server aber ohnehin schon geblockt sind, d.h. außer der Domain und dem Umzugsstress ändert sich doch nichts, oder?
@ToniBarth Na ja, ich kann ein paar Dinge selbst einstellen, z. B. kann ich bei meinem jetzigen Provider nicht alle Audioformate abspielen, der Ohrfunk auf dem Troetcafé kann es aber. Und ich will ja nicht nur mit den paar Hanseln vernetzt sein, sondern ich administriere nur auch die Instanz, auf der ich mein ganz normales Konto hab. Und ich wollte wissen, ob man das als Blinder kann. Ich muss mich ja nicht ums Hosting kümmern. Das macht masto.host.
Audioformate abspielen? Davon höre ich zum ersten Mal. Meinst du auf der Weboberfläche? Denn auf externe Clients dürfte das ja keinen Einfluss haben, oder? Administration natürlich, aber hat man da so viel Gewinn? Was administriert man denn da? Lohnt es den finanziellen Aufwand einzugehen, nur weil man es kann, oder hat es tatsächlich Vorteile?
@ToniBarth Tja, drum teste ich. Es kostet mich um die 6 Euro oder so, es ist zumindest so, dass ich mit meinem Tweesecake-Client auf meinem Provider nicht abspielen konnte, was auf dem Troetcafé mit demselben Programm und derselben Konfiguration ging. Es schien, als speichere mein Provider keine Medieninhalte zwischen. Und wie viel du zwischenspeicherst ist etwas, was du administrieren kannst. Wie gesagt: Ich weiß noch nicht, ob ich's letztlich mache.
Hab heute meinen persönlichen DIDAY gestartet und mich von allen Apple Diensten verabschiedet (hatte das fette One Abo). Nur die 2 TB iCloud behalte ich. Bin jetzt tatsächlich nach ganz langer Zeit wieder bei Spotify gelandet. Mein Sohn hat das Familienabo spendiert, weil ohne Premium geht das gar nicht. Als Nächstes geht’s noch Google an den Kragen, allerdings werden YouTube und Gemini erstmal bleiben. Meine Mailkonten sind mittlerweile zu @mailbox_org umgezogen, bin da erstmal glücklich. Der zukünftig größte Brocken wird aber der Umzug der 1.3 TB Daten die in der iCloud liegen und zusätzlich noch 600 Gb die im Google Drive geparkt sind. Dafür muss ich bestimmt Urlaub nehmen und ordentliches Gras besorgen um ruhig zu bleiben. 😂🤣🙃
Generell bin ich ein Freund davon, den Big Tech Diensten den Kampf anzusagen - nur ist Spotify einer davon. Ja, nicht amerikanisch, aber für Künstler teilweise noch schädlicher als Apple. Die Preispolitik der letzten Jahre führt nur zu noch dickeren Geldbeuteln bei Spotify selbst, und einem größeren Loch in deinem Konto. Ob das im Sinne des DIDAY ist wage ich etwas zu bezweifeln. Der Rest, Daumen hoch.
I've always wanted to play Elite, the old procedurally-generated spaceflight sim for the BBC Micro. It, of course, is not and will never be accessible.
However the source code is available, very small, and highly annotated. There's a whole nerdy website with bunches and bunches of details, right down to guesses on and commentaries about the relative sizes of celestial objects, ships, etc.
Tempted to hand all of that to an LLM and have it try modernizing the game in Godot, adding audio cues, speech feedback, and whatever else would be needed to make it accessible.
May not be fully faithful to the original, least of all because of 3-D audio, but I almost don't care if it captures the feel.
We'll see if I actually do this, but now the bug is lodged in my brain.
We’re excited to share an upcoming update designed to make choosing Vispero assistive technology even easier 😊

Are you going to be at FOSDEM next week? I am apparently giving 3 talks there, so there you go, you have 3 reasons to go now, too! Hope to see you there:
This is a great piece on how SpaceX's rockets and their Starlink satelites put passenger planes at risk. It's yet another example on why #SpaceX is cancer and needs to die already.
The FAA predicted Elon Musk’s Starship would cause “minor or minimal” disruption. Then the rockets exploded twice in three months over busy airspace. Flight data reveals how many planes scrambled to protect passengers and avoid burning debris.
Americký prezident ve švýcarském Davosu vystoupil před světovými byznysovými i politickými lídry. V hodinovém projevu ale při několika příležitostech poměrně laxně pracoval s fakty.
Přinášíme výběr ověřených výroků z projevu amerického prezidenta v Davosu. Trump například chválil své úspěchy na domácí půdě a mylně naznačil, že USA v minulosti vlastnily Grónsko.
Lyft driver says full time drivers don't want to pick people up if there's a risk the passenger is drunk or whatever because now they require you prove you got your car detailed after someone pukes in your car. They lock you out of driving for at least 72 hours
I agree with this wholeheartedly. We shouldn't create European versions of Google, Amazon or Microsoft, oligopols that benefit from vendor lock-in. Instead, we should have a commons based on open-source technology and standards, which can then be used to develop solutions for customers. And let the competition flourish. In my opinion, that is in our European DNA.
Why there’s no European Google?
And why it is a good thing!

I don't send many emails anymore. I receive emails but I don't send many. Even at work, most of our communication is done via other means. But I do generate at least one email a day to send to a group of external testers. I don't send this from a traditional mail client. Instead it is a shell script that gathers some information and opens a text editor to add further comments. After that the file is sent with #cURL, via smtp. That means that curl is my main mail client (at least for sending). 🤔
I do appreciate all the work the EU has done with regulatory work around data sovereignty and the DMA. But they would still be gigafucked if the US ordered Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to cut them off. They may not even have the encryption keys accessible entirely in the EU. The fact that their data physically resides in Europe don't mean shit if a US corp can kill their whole infrastructure with a single command to lock their accounts.
Hope to see you there:
