@yatil If it happens to be WordPress sites you’re testing, the Local app by WP Engine is very handy:
@infotexture Luckily, it’s not 😉
I am SO MANLY. Please believe me. I love diesel and fertilisation. I've never even seen a doily.
@TheBreadmonkey You’ve NEVER SEEN A DOILY?! Then you are merely a boy. The doily is a right of passage. You have to see a doily and feel ABSOLUTELY NOTHING towards it - and only then can you become a real Man.

slop boosters complaining about "militant purity-testing anti-AI people" have the same energy as liberals complaining about "the extreme far left," and both groups should be taken with the same amount of seriousness - that is to say, none at all
in an impressive level of fuck-up, my bluetooth headphones are connecting to my windows laptop just fine, except not as an audio output or input
so... they're just chillin I suppose
@foone
Didn't have Windows that issue where they weren't shipping the headset profiles etc at some point? So it's paired and connected, but no profile selected

On Thursday evening I'm gonna say a few words about core issues in our conceptualization of Free and Open Source Software that are standing in the way of a better future. We must stop doing "Uncaring Software".
https://events.floxford.org/event/uncaring-software-tante
well the problem is it's an extremely wide topic
so there is AI slop machines which we all hate
then there's stuff like this:
people using AI to reconstruct their voices lost to cancer/ injury/ etc
that's obviously not the same thing as what we despise
so when we deal with disabled people using AI, we can't just come out swinging. that's my point. there is nuance here, and we need to cut disabled people some slack
@benroyce @billyjoebowers Sure. As I said, I'm all for accessibility tools for users.
I'm also wary of conflating bespoke for-purpose LLMs and the trained-on-everything LLM-as-a-service platforms that everybody calls "AI" these days. These feel like different domains and are effectively different technologies in how they're created and utilised.
A subscription model for a synthesised voice described in that article sounds dystopian. This could be done locally, owned and controlled by the user

Open source doesn’t need another definition or another license, it needs a set of values. Ethical open source is possible.
@CoralineAda a fun license could be if your LLM has used GPL code to train, it becomes GPL. 😁

The dual-lamp version is the 840078 which conveniently matches the number of a Kawasaki 8" bench grinder which is also 3/4HP also 3450 RPM. So that looks pretty clearly like a rebadged Kawasaki. Is this variant _also_ a rebadged Kawasaki?
UL E133220 does not exist
(or if it does I can't find it)
that’s interesting
The Linux versions are cute but in a different way
@mcc I wonder why they didn't just make "zombie" a skin tone modifier?

I mean this in a very specific, philosophical way.
In 2005, prominent philosopher Harry G Frankfurt published On Bullshit, which establishes a theory of, well, bullshit.
To Frankfurt, truth and falsehood, and therefore truth telling and lying, are on the same axis: a liar presumes to know what the truth is, and endeavors to replace it with a falsehood.
Bullshit, on the other hand, is a completely different dimension. The bullshitter is completely unconcerned with truth or falsehood. Bullshit can be truthful, or it can be false, but this is of no consequence to the bullshitter. The bullshitter is not trying to convey facts nor intentionally spread falsehood; their project is completely different: it aims to create a certain reaction or belief in the listener, and truth is completely orthogonal to this project.
LLMs do not, by their nature, "know" truth or falsehood. They contain (extremely sophisticated) statistical models of what tokens are likely to follow other tokens. Sometimes, this produces true statements. Sometimes, it produces false statements. Sometimes, it produces code and proofs and other things that have some sort of practical value.
But, no matter how large you grow them, how well you tune them to improve the probability of true statements, they are still, fundamentally, producing bullshit.

Europe depends on open digital infrastructure. Which technologies are critical, and where is support most needed? We invite maintainers and experts worldwide to share their knowledge to inform the design and investment priorities of the EU Sovereign Tech Fund pilot.
Take the survey by 30 November 2026 and share it with your networks: https://survey.sovereign.tech/eustf

Release 2026.11.07 is coming out
Our 2026.11.07 release is already out on Codeberg, IzzyOnDroid & the iOS store. Soon on F-Droid & Google Play.
It includes an improved dark mode and android auto display, and support for many new POI types.
We also released new maps with data from November 5 (Due to POI changes, the maps are not compatible with older app versions, so you need to install the update first).
Full changelog here: codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/…/v2026.11.07-16
"... We provide access while offering more variety, but let people pick and choose how they want to participate. Like, mahjong is super popular now, mostly with women but men, too. It brings people together..."
Okay, I don't know a single person who is Gen X who plays mahjong or EVER played mahjong. But maybe I don't know anyone.
@ai6yr it's big with my kids' generation
please hype this post if you're on mobile

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@fosdem/117583049310983072
Congratulations to all the accepted stands for #FOSDEM27 !
I see there will be a "Women of Open Source" stand which sounds amazing.
After having our DEIB (Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging) devroom rejected, it feels good to see something acknowledging the work and contributions of women in open source. I'll make sure to stop by the stand when I'm there! If you know who's behind it, please let me know, I'd love to contact them.
Edit / update: got my answer from @samvie thank you! 🙏 ❤️
@samvie fantastic, thank you so much!
