Released 5.0.0-beta.1-2026-11-09 of Mastodon Bird UI: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/5.0.0-beta.1-2026-11-09
@Cacotopos And yet somehow these large consultancy firms survive even though their ability to deliver results is questionable at best
how does this even happen
@aurynn honestly nfi. “Govt gets AI slop from expensive consultants” should result in “expensive consultants blacklisted for 5 years” automatically (see how generous I’m being?)
I honestly don’t understand why consequences don’t materialise.
God...
Schumer has a challenger.
If you would prefer Chris Van Hollen over Chuck Schumer, can | get an amen?
@SRLevine lol obviously
@ai6yr I guess I'm biased against all of the funny shorts responses because I know how expensive Nomex stuff is (ended up buying some lab coats for myself with my own money due to EH&S laundry shenanigans) and if someone can get some real use out of it in anyway...

I'm a polyglot now! Didn't know learning languages is that easy
Updated to 1.1.0 rc2 and somehow this happend 😁
I set German, English and Spanish as languages and ended up with duplicated entry's in the language selector 😊
@Nux for me or for Reiser?
@ai6yr
Shorts seems like defeating the purpose of protective gear. Can you get nomex material to replace the frayed part? You would need nomex thread of course.
@Dougfir Yeah, but not for uniform use, so would have to be for some casual reason to have them.

Kiinnostaako vähemmän kusinen internet? Sympaattinen tapahtuma 28.11. Helsingissä:
”Asennetaan yhdessä Linux ja/tai muuta mahtavaa vapaata ja avointa softaa kaikille halukkaille. Tarjolla asennusapua suomeksi, ruotsiksi ja englanniksi sekä virvokkeita. Ensimmäisille osallistujille kakkua!”

Bei Molly (Signal-Fork) herrscht seit Ende Juli Stillstand bei den Releases. Die Entwickler nennen fehlende Kapazitäten und aufwendige Merge-Konflikte als Gründe. Das Projekt soll weitergehen, ein Termin für das nächste Update fehlt jedoch.
Fast drei Monate ohne Updates sind bei einem sicherheitskritischen Messenger problematisch. Zusätzliche Sicherheitsfunktionen helfen wenig, wenn die Basis nicht aktuell gehalten wird.
@kuketzblog Ist #CollieIM möglicherweise eine Alternative? Ein recht junger Fork von #MollyIM https://github.com/0cwa/collieim-android #Molly
Them: "oh no! Not treason! The worst thing you can do is be disloyal to the State!"
Me, an anarchist: *glances around cautiously & slowly backs away*
@artemis Lately (for the last couple of decades, anyway) I find myself thinking: "what is the US such that defending it is vital and opposing it is traitorous?" not to mention "why should I be upset if we were somehow meaningfully invaded by another country whose government is clearly more egalitarian than ours? What, exactly, would I be defending, and why?"
...and I keep coming back to the idea that nationalism is basically an authoritarian trick to keep people in line. The things we're being told to be loyal to are not the things that actually matter.
… *how* long has the Shift + scroll-wheel combination meant "scroll left/right instead of the usual up/down", in multiple applications, without me knowing it?
I stumbled over it this evening, by accidentally nudging my scroll wheel in #Inkscape while holding down Shift for another reason. Wasn't sure if it was just Inkscape, so I tried it in #Firefox too while zoomed in on a large image, and it worked there as well.
That's probably a thing that everyone else has known for years and I'm one of today's lucky 10,000. But someone, or something, or some manual, could have _said!_
@simontatham My recently arrived Ploopy A+[1] has both vertical and horizontal scroll wheels!
I had to test:
Shift + vertical scroll wheel is horizontal scroll!
Shift + horizontal scroll is ... nothing?
😞 well that's disappointing.

1/4 🚨 The European Commission is working on a new EU surveillance regime and it's not looking great - as reported by POLITICO Europe this morning.
The leak shows that the Commission’s own quality control body, the Regulatory Scrutiny Board, points to serious shortcomings in the impact assessment for a potential EU-wide data retention framework.
Wondering what exactly is at stake for you with a data retention framework? Read our new briefing to find out ➡️ https://edri.org/our-work/data-retention-is-mass-surveillance-of-peoples-phone-and-internet-activity/
I would really like to see students — and faculty — and the general population fight for free and full access to public higher education in Canada.
Maybe what is happening in Europe will inspire people here? Maybe it already is?
The austerity has gone on for my entire 45 year student and work career in education. When will it end?
When will it be ended?

The hunt is a major component of the system and metasystem around the system, meaning, a machine of interactions whose job is to produce joy and experience and memories, a machine which has multiple components, and not all of them are physically connected by wire but they're connected nonetheless, some components of this machine aren't physical, they're events. Coming across cool speakers or a cheap big sub by serendipity is an integral part of Raccoon Sound System. This cannot be forced. To force it, by employing large amounts of money in retail establishments, is to abandon serendipity. When you buy a speaker, you remember how you came across it, you remember chatting with the person who sold it to you, a speaker comes with a story. “I bought this off Amazon” is not a story. I made a post about how to make a nice sound system for fuck-all money.
