Is there a Canadian source for printed tshirts like teepublic? I need new Pride shirts and I’m not buying American anymore. Do I have to make my own design and take it to the store in the mall?
Good morning all. I'm waiting for a grocery delivery today. Can't imagine how busy the grocery stores are now. We could see up to 14 inches of snow with this storm. Today, I got a package from UPS, left at our door, addressed to someone at a completely different address. I read the address with my phone, searched and found the owner's phone number. I called and the package owner's wife picked up the box. Not much going on this weekend except the possible storm arrival. For all impacted, stay safe.
"I remember a couple years ago talking to a local businessman about Project Connect. 'If it doesn't go to the airport, what's the point?' he asked.
This is the kind of comment that would probably prompt vigorous nods of approval at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon but would make heads explode at a gathering of transit experts.
The idea that the purpose of public transit is to facilitate air travel is a more absurd version of the notion, popular among Sunbelt elites, that the point of public transit is to facilitate car travel by reducing car traffic.
(For the same reason that expanding highways doesn't reduce traffic, nor will public transit. The point of transit is not to make it easier to drive, it is to offer an alternative to driving.)"
This release contains some bugfixes for annoying little API issues, updates to robots.txt to forbid more so-called "ai" (🤢) crawlers, and a bugfix for polite interaction requests that will be useful when v0.21.0 comes out in a couple weeks.
If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0, v0.20.1, or v0.20.2, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.
If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!
If you are currently on a snapshot / nightly build, stay on the snapshot / nightly build, as it's already ahead of this release.
Here's version 0.20.0 of GoToSocial, **Sinister Sloth**.
It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth's tummy and sides to make xem giggle.
I am unable to download my purchase of the new #Megadeth album because the service they are using relies on hCaptcha. If you are #blind and use a screen reader, you cannot solve the visual captcha. They ask you to install an #accessibility cookie, which I have tried to do with two different browsers, with no luck. The provided email address for help, customercare@mainfactorcommerce.com bounces. How much of my day am I going to waste on this? I can't even get my money back!! #A11Y
@cachondo The reason I was told, why Americans won’t change to the metric system, is that it would cost too much money to change all of the machinery that makes things, like a machinist would use.
@kevinrj :) it's become a funny meme at this point more than a serious suggestion, I think. Where it matters, like in scientific experiments, I think the US is already quite good at managing. After the Mars Climate Orbiter thing from the 90's, at least the scientific community woke up to the technical benefits.
I had to give some bloods and the young nurse who was doing it was rather buxom. As I had my arm out and my palm on my knee facing up, when she leant forward there was a serious risk of me cupping her boob. When she did lean back for a moment I had to close my hand to avoid it.

Oh, the irony of people using Bluesky and Substack to report on and protest ICE, MAGA, etc. You're anti-Nazi, but posting on the platform that says Nazis are welcome? How does that make sense?
@hub They literally acknowledged that they had people with Nazi views on the platform and refused to deplatform them. I really don't know how much more correct that analogy could possibly be.
What pisses me off quite regularly about where we are is that we did not get here overnight. We are here now because of the stubborn refusal of a large number of people to say "that's not OK, we're not going to accept that, and I don't give a flying fuck how loud you cry about it."
If people had ostracized the Tea Party bastards years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Trump had been sidelined years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Gamergate and 4chan hadn't been tolerated... we wouldn't be here.
We used to be able to contain this shit. Remember David Duke? The Republican party used to at least refuse to endorse outright bald, naked racism.
oh I know. A few years ago it was like "we pay nazis writer". And in 2025 they even send a promotion mailing with swastica and everything.
But then look at Governments worldwide continue to post on the CSAM generator formerly know as Twitter. They didn't stop when its owner made the salute. Now they are saying there is nothing they can do about the CSAM. (litterally that what our Govt said, posting on said platform)
This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some prot…

@Tutanota FYI your email signature has a link to your twitter account but not to the mastodon account while your website links to mastodon but not to twitter. Maybe someone forgot to update the email signature at some point?
I get angry at myself when I have too many tabs open and can't find what I'm looking for I don't know how you people do it with your 600,000 tabs at once I see in your presentations and your screenshots.
RFK Jr is researching some alternative theories. Mainstream "medicine" over hypes the importance of death. If you think about it logically, so called "death" is just the extreme slowdown of metabolic functions which can only lead to economic savings and lower taxes for all.
Don't crash with newer pipewire and fix device selection Newer pipewire (at least 1.5.84 and newer) merely swap the port of the sink rather than updating...
Hausärztin aus Emmendingen zu Friedrich Merz: "Telefonische Krankmeldung ist kein Freifahrtschein"
Yvonne Fechner, Vorstandsmitglied im Hausärztinnen- und Hausärzteverband Banden-Württemberg, widerspricht Friedrich Merz. Sie sieht keinen Beleg für mehr Krankheitsfehltage durch telefonische Krankmeldungen.
Hallo, zunächst schön, dass ihr hergefunden habt. Könnt ihr bitte an Bildbeschreibungen denken? Gerade für blinde Nutzende wird es sonst schnell nervig, wenn jeder Beitrag mit einer undefinierten Illustration in die Timeline gespült wird.
Meine ChatGPT-Nutzung wandelt sich über die Jahre von einem erstaunten „Wow!“ über „Guck ich als erstes, weil es so einfach ist“ und „Guck ich nur, wenn ich woanders nichts finde.“ hin zu „Nutze es fast gar nicht mehr und entwickle eine Aversion“, weil mich die vielen falschen Antworten und das Mindfuck-artige, pseudo-beziehungsorientierte Kommunikationsmuster unglaublich triggert und aggro macht, besonders wenn eins die ständigen falschen Antworten korrigiert.
For those of you that still follow me for the Nova related stuff, I have put together some notes from my meeting yesterday with Instabridge, the company that has just acquired Nova Launcher.
Thursday, January 22nd, I had a meeting with a couple of employees from Instabridge, the company that has acquired Nova. One of those included the CEO, Carl, and various different things were discussed in that meeting.
I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.
So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc. forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewste…
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.
