Gisteren vond er een aanslag plaats op een protest van de Koerdische gemeenschap op het Operaplein. Wij waren daar ook aanwezig om onze solidariteit te tonen. Er zal hierover nog communicatie volgen maar we willen al even reageren op een aantal artikels die hierover reeds in de Vlaamse media verschenen. * De politie was niet "aanwezig om de manifestatie in goede banen te leiden." Daar heeft de Koerdische gemeenschap de politie niet voor nodig. * Welgeteld één flik in burger heeft eerste zorgen toegediend. De rest stond er wat op te kijken. Het waren de omstaanders die voornamelijk de eerste zorgen hebben toegediend. * Het was geen "pure chaos." Ja, het was verwarrend en beangsigend, maar de reacties van de meeste omstaanders waren snel en to-the-point. * Sommige berichten spraken over een vechtpartij. Dit is pertinent onjuist.
Wij moedigen journaliten aan om verder te kijken dan wat de politiewoordvoerder hen vertelt en communicatie vanuit de politie met dezelfde voorzichtheid te behandelen als elke andere bron.
Vegas taking a 27% cut by valuing the Canadian dollar at par is giving me the giggles - this is bordering on one of the most successful boycotts in history - FAFO you fucking US fascists - we are NEVER coming back
Each year we are excited to see how many NLnet grantees we can spot in the list of @fosdem speakers. This year is a new high with over 100 speakers! Another record will be broken at our hex sticker table. We'll be bringing over 300.000 stickers featuring more than 300 unique hex designs. We have 2 BoF meetups, 1 with @NGIZero and 1 NLnet get-together and we'll be bringing snacks. And Michiel Leenaars will give the opening keynote on Saturday. Let's meet at #FOSDEM! nlnet.nl/events/20260131/FOSDE…
we'll hope you'll enjoy them! Btw, the download stats were even already featured by some "vodcasts" – see e.g. around 4:48 to 5:40 here: youtube.com/watch?v=VR-MEwPDw4… (and they're meanwhile also available in Droid-ify). They're privacy friendly (no PII at all), and rather easy to integrate with any web server – so maybe @fdroidorg might integrate them with their repository (and client?) as well? 🤔 We gladly provide our tooling to them – and to other repositories, of course!

I am very much not used to sleeping in a room where the heat is effective, nor am I used to sleeping on a bed. I did both of these things last night, and woke up feeling all kinds of out-of-sorts.
Ist bei @disroot eigentlich noch jemand zu Hause? Haben vor 3 Wochen versucht, für jemanden dort einen Mail-Account zu registrieren. Der steht bis heute auf "pending approval", also mehr als die per automatischer Mail angegebenen 48h. Support-Anfrage per Mail vor 3 Tagen auch nur auto-reply, dass man innerhalb 24h antworten würde.
Erwarte ja keine "instant action", aber so gar keine, ist irgendwie seltsam (und wenig vertrauenerweckend)…
@kuketzblog steht bei Dir in der Empfehlungsecke 😉
Habe am 05.01.2026 versucht, ein Konto einzurichten. AW innerhalb von 3 h. (Hat trotzdem nicht funktioniert. "Fehler 5001: Der Benutzername oder das Passwort ist nicht gültig. Versuchen Sie es erneut." Lag's an mir?) @disroot @kuketzblog
@schlackenfuchs Genau so sieht es für das von mir angesprochene Email Konto aus. Nur dass wir, außer der initialen automatischen Antwort, keine weitere bekommen haben. War bei uns am 1.1. @disroot @kuketzblog
Bei mir kamen drei mails: - New User Verification - Disroot.org Account request pending. - [username] Your account has been approved Wie gesagt: lag evtl. an mir. @disroot @kuketzblog
@schlackenfuchs Die letzte kam hier nie… War da noch ein Bestätigungs-Link drin, oder war das eher "nur eine Benachrichtigung"? Anmeldung haben wir anschließend mehrfach probiert (zuletzt vor zwei Tagen), die Fehlermeldung kennst Du ja. @disroot
Nee, kein link, einfach nur die Bestätigung, dass es losgehen kann ("Your account is now activated."). Muss Dich eigentlich nicht fragen, tue es aber trotzdem (sorry!): - Spam gecheckt? - temp. Mail-Adresse genutzt, die inzwischen abgelaufen ist?
@schlackenfuchs hat sich bei mir jetzt alles geklärt – @disroot hat sich gerade per Chat gemeldet: unsere Anmeldung ging wohl irgendwie verschütt. Also alles gut – und dickes Lob an "jh", der sich die Zeit für uns genommen hat, das gerade zu ziehen! 🤗
The entire left side of my mouth is one big hurtbox. I probably very much need to see a dentist, as things are noticeably getting worse, but the state of good ol' American health care is preventing me from even considering it, as I am constantly thinking about how much it's going to cost, especially since I'm not home. Such a joy.
"The State of Modern AI Text To Speech Systems for Screen Reader Users" by Samuel Proulx. Interesting read, not only for blind folks. Suprising outcome. stuff.interfree.ca/2026/01/05/… #blind #tts #screenreader
We've updated the configuration on our Liberapay – which was unintentionally set to "anonymous donations only". You can now choose to have your support shown, if you wish so 🤗
Apologies for the mishap!
And thanks to the first supporter 🥰 Yes: if everyone who uses #IzzyOnDroid would chime in a buck per month, we'd be fully sustainable…
The IzzyOnDroid team maintains the repository for F/LOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) Android apps launched by Izzy in 2015/2016, which has since become quite well-known …
I understand blocking AI crawlers from your personal sites, but its usually to aggressive. Now 50% of the time that I post a link into Slack, it does not expand because Slack Bot crawling is forbidden by robots.txt. - Same is true for a bunch of other bots that need to read a site for OG Metadata.
🤦♂️ Девушка перевела «Филиппу Киркорову» 100 тысяч рублей
Лже-Киркоров написал ей в мессенджере и предложил поужинать в ресторане, если она оплатит ему дорогу. 30-летнюю девушку ничего не смущало, пока мошенник не перестал выходить на связь.
Девушку, конечно, жаль, но у нас пожилая мадам лже-Брэду Питту 830000 евро (это восемьсот тридцать тысяч, я не опечатался) перевела. Я могу немножко приврать в сумме, но по-моему именно столько. Скандалище на всю Францию был.
Vous avez déjà vu le scandal dans l'Assemblée nationale quand LFI a voté contre l'inscription des frères musulmans dans la liste des organisations terroristes ? youtube.com/watch?v=ASdvZoCCeZ… Après ça, j'ai finalement inventé une correcte abbréviation pour LFI : LFT (la France trahie)

In general, but especially in marketing *language matters*. "Soon we will have to" is fatalistic wording that works against your goals. You're presenting failure as inevitable, even as you try to show a better alternative later.
The last sentence is much more powerful and effective.

This week we're discussing whether having a drink when out with friends is necessary and expected, or safe to skip. For those who don't drink, are you considered 'the boring one?' Kirsten doesn't drink very much at all, and Andre may have a drink when out with friends or at a gig, but not always.
Welcome to episode 71.This week we're discussing whether having a drink when out with friends is necessary and expected, or safe to skip. For those who don't...
Here's a little advanced computer tip for you all on a Friday, definitely not based on recent personal experience.
If you have plugged in a cable, and it does not work, ensure that the end of the cable that you have plugged in is part of the same cable as the other end of the cable. This can really make a difference.
I trust you have figured out already that I have the highest ambitions for the curl documentation. I want everything documented in a clear, easy-to-read and easy-to-find manner.
mrzne a všade kam vidieť je obloha sivá, bielo sivá no prostě hustě to vyzerá by som sa aj stratil niekam (alebo si aspoň odostrel žalúzie) lenže musím ísť do práce
Baví mě komentáře od lidí na #Youtube, kteří mají nutkání "odhalovat" neoznačená AI videa, jako např. cestovatelku časem na různá historická místa. Jinak by se díky realistické kvalitě opravdu nedalo poznat, že to není realita 😝
BTW jsem pro zákon označovat všechen AI obsah, jinak bude během několika let (nejen) Youtube skoro nepoužitelný, nebude se dát filtrovat. A vše bude růst exponenciálně: porostou nároky na energii, poroste množství podvodů a lží, bude se melancholicky vzpomínat na dobu před AI. V rukou mentálně nedospělých lidí je AI zlo.
@sesivany To bych uvítal. Ale mám obavy, že i kdyby se tak stalo, tak stejně zbyde míň kvalitní a levnější AI, po kterém tvůrci sáhnou a tomu přehlcení online prostoru se společnost nevyhne. Proto už by dnes měla být zákonná povinnost označování AI obsahu, jinak se nebude dát vyfiltrovat při hledání.
Our In-Process blog is back for 2026! And we've got a bumper issue to start with:
We highlight the "Switching from Jaws to NVDA" guide, we have tips for running NVDA on a Mac and creating a new NVDA Shortcut. We hear from a user on their achievements in 2025, and we want to hear yours! And finally, a quick tipe from @JenMsft here on Mastodon on Using Clip with the command line!
Hi very good in prossess. I think manually creating a shortcut for nvda has got some disadvantages in comparison to the one that the installer creates. For example the manual shortcut won't restart nvda. It will only start nvda if it is not running at all.
@nikosdemetriou I vaguely recall something about the shortcut from a number of years ago, but I just checked with NVDA 2025.3.2 and the shortcut as created with the instructions in In-Process will restart NVDA - of course it is easier to check the box and let the installer create the shortcut, but sometimes that doesn't happen, or the shortcut gets deleted etc.
So tell me, how do you feel about TikTok in the US now opening ways for systems like Palantir and others that "assist" ICE to get access to your user data? Allowing the US to do what they accused China to do – surveillance – when avoiding exactly that was the original stated reason for the whole fight?
Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní lidečkové! 🙋♀️🐈🐶 Včera mi došel balík z antikvariátu! Jucheeeej! Nudit se nebudu. Tak copak já si vyberu jako první? Lord Archibald má úplně stejnou radost. On dostal krabici. Teď na ní pilně pracuje. Sir Artur takovou radost nemá. Původně se do té krabice uhnízdil. Byl surově vytřepán a teď se vztekle z opěradla gauče dívá, jak z krabice odletují ohryzané kusy. Myslím že si ho budu muset udobřit nějakou dobrůtkou. V koupelně probíhá hádka. Obě Dcery národa odjíždějí do města. Obě chtějí k umyvadlu. Hned. K zrcadlu. Hned. Možná si půjdu pro židli a sednu si ke dveřím. Spor se přiostřuje. Chtějí rozsoudit. Židle nebude. Prchám. Vy se každému sporu dnes vyhněte a udržujte si hladinu zdravého humoru. 😊 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno
Friendly reminder that Mastodon, et al is federated, which means you almost certainly won't see every reply on a thread.
Let's say you're reading a post from "reasonable.domain". And someone from "cesspool.domain" replies to it. If your instance blocked "cesspool.domain", you won't see that reply.
This effect minimizes the appearance of harm. It can be a blessing, but it also means you won't always see the problems inherent on these platforms.
Give it to a popular speech synthesis engine, ETI Eloquence, or Eloquence TextToSpeech on Android, to not mispronounce stuff when they are incorrectly spelled. Strategy...being the word in reference. Eloquence says it correctly even if people type Stratogy. eSpeak immediately says something I can't even make other synthesizers replicate. The place where I most often see this horrible mistake is on forum.audiogames.net, but I don't go on about it there, because it's not the user's fault that the speech engine they use does not alert them to the mistake. I do read braille, mostly to help me with my work, as most of the folks CVs I have to process, have African names, and speech, no matter which synthesis engine, break African names royally. Just...fix Stratogy on eloquence so it actually pronounces it wrong...then that illusive E in the middle will replace the incorrect O.
@Bri It's often encountered in discussions about SoundRTS, or similar realtime strategy games. I don't scroll in the agnet forum too often, because of workload, but saw stratogy pop-up again yesterday evening while checking for new releases. I can't remember which topic exactly now, else I might have posted so you could see what I am squektalking about.
#gnuplot was one of the very first tools I used for looking at data
it was 1995 and I was doing my first job (year out between school and uni) and the place had sunOS 4 workstations with 1-bit high-resolution monochrome displays iirc
the unix systems were locked down so there was no python or anything ... just fortran f77 and shell and gnuplot
there was a Windows 3.11 based option with Microcal Origin but that couldn't handle much data volume
(those constraints led me to prototype a linux-based data analysis workstation)

The "6-7" thing is obviously annoying, but also reassuring that kids' online lives are mainly just silly nonsense. It's not all Andrew Tate and anxiety.
Liebes Fediverse! Ich hatte im schulischen Rahmen schon mehrfach Zeitzeugen zu Gast: Holocaustüberlebende, politisch Verfolgte aus der ehem. DDR, usw.
Nun suche in Kontakt zu Menschen, deren Eltern(-teil) Täter*innen zB. in der Nazi-Tötungsmaschinierie war(en) UND die sich kritisch damit und mit der damit verbundenen Familiengeschichte auseinandergesetzt haben.
Habt Ihr mir da Namen oder Tipps, wen ich da anfragen könnte? Gerne mal boosten! Und: Danke vorab dafür!
Ok there is a new rss reader featured in a podcast spessifically double tap. A github link is given in the description which doesn't work any more. Google doesn't find anything only the podcast. So what's the point of an application disappearing soon after it is featured in a podcast? github.com/brandonbracey/blind…
