Na schön...
Wenn WhatsApp dann bald kostenpflichtig wird, um Werbung zu entgehen, dann kommt wohl die Zeit, dass @signalapp eine finanzielle Zuwendung bekommt.

Bei @libreoffice von @tdforg hab ich es jetzt auch gemacht. Nachdem mein Office-Abo verlängert werden hätte können hab ich das beendet und bin jetzt Libreoffice-Nutzer und unterstütze die jetzt, statt Microsoft.

Jetzt fehlt nur noch etwas Zeit zum Umstellen meines Computers von Windows auf eine Linux-Instanz.

I'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.

And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.

Ya'll need to get out for real.

Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)

I started a documentation repo for #FOSDEM advise - for new and old visitors, attendees and speakers. I figure we can crowdsource it so bring your pull-requests. I will greatly appreciate help.

If not, I will populate it myself slowly over time but it won't be as good.

As a #barefooter, I can mostly agree with this:

"Shoes
It's good to wear the shoes that work best for a lot of standing and walking and can handle rain and some puddles (depending on the weather). These might not be the best looking shoes you have (or they might be) it just needs to be something that once you put on you won't have to think about until you take them off, which will probably be hours and hours later."

Not sure about "might not be best looking" bit, but I guess that's in the eye of the beholder, and there's also "or they might be". I guess anyone can have a bad feet day once in a while. So, fair.

Who Let The Dogs Out 🐾

Воззвание Генриха III на среднеанглийском языке от 18 октября 1258 года.

#лингвистика #английскийЯзык

Перевод:

Генрих, с Божьей помощью король Англии, лорд Ирландии, герцог Нормандии, Аквитании и граф Анжуйский, посылает приветствие всем своим верным — учёным и простым людям в Хантингдоншире.
Да будет вам всем хорошо известно, что мы желаем и признаём законным всё то, что наши советники, или большая их часть, которые были избраны нами и народом нашего королевства, сделали и будут делать во славу Божью и по нашей верности ради блага страны. По распоряжению вышеупомянутых советников это должно быть твёрдо установлено и неизменно во всём и навсегда.

Speaking of jumping ship, I store all my files in #Microsoft #OneDrive and would like to get rid of that dependency as I'm working to replace my workflow with #FLOSS tools where practical. Do y'all have recommendations for a #CloudStorage service which has reasonably #accessible clients for #ScreenReader users (I primarily use #Fedora Workstation 43 but also use #Windows 11, #Android, and #iOS), can sync to my local filesystem, and/or can appear in the #GNOME desktop File Manager? I'm not interested in self-hosting something like #Nextcloud, #OwnCloud, etc. Any suggestions or firsthand experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Here are recordings of two time and temperature lines. The first is in Lafayette, Tennessee, 615-666-8463. The second is in Louisville, Kentucky, 502-585-5961. One of these needs serious help, as it has for several months. In this cold weather, I'll leave it up to you to guess which one is in serious need of adjustment.

I'm glad I visited the U.S. a year ago because I won't be able to anytime soon.

We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:

"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."

"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."

PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:

-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’

-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.

privacyinternational.org/news-…

The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and
must be submitted (no later than February 9, 2026) to be assured of consideration.

Dění ve Spojených státech mě děsí s každým dnem víc a víc. Vzdáleně vím o pár lidech ze zranitelných skupin, co odtamtud během posledních dvou let odešli - pár z nich do Evropy, potažmo EU - a čím dál víc se bojím, že to někteří další už nestihnou.

Hrozně moc doufám, že Evropa zůstane sjednocená, a nebude tímhle směrem sklouzávat, jakože některé státy už mají bohužel trochu našlápnuto 🙁

já jsem v tomto bohužel spíš mírný pesimista, včera jsem četl v Hospodářkách skvělý komentář, který podle mě popisuje ty skutečné příčiny současného stavu a Evropa je bohužel nemá vyřešené taky (ač to tady není tak extrémní jako v USA).

Adam Smith měl pravdu. Jak otec kapitalismu varoval před dnešní ekonomikou

Kdyby si někdo měl zasloužit titul otce kapitalismu, bude to bezpochyby Adam Smith, skotský ekonom a filozof, který napsal knihu Bohatství národů nebo také Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations („bible pro kapitalisty“).

We are planning another #curl distro meeting this year, after the previous years' successful and productive gatherings.

It is a video meeting with peeps from the curl project meeting and talking with curl maintainers from "distros" shipping curl. And we don't specify what a distro is - as everyone is welcome.

This is very much work in progress - if you have ideas and proposals for agenda items, add them!

Hi, completely new to Mastadon but looking forward to meeting new friends with musical interests. I live in England, have a great pro acoustic treated home studio that despite a smattering of guitars is predominantly set up with hardware analog fixed architecture and modular synths. My music is instrumental melodic with strong classical influences from my time as a clarinetist and pianist.
