check out our real world compat improvements too!

the duck on the DuckDuckGo landing page now renders (was broken image), and Gumroad now renders too (every page was completely blank, except for the landing page)

Finally making an introduction post! In a world that feels increasingly on fire and with the rise of the right. I wanted to find a space that actually feels human again.

I'm a 30 something artist who is constantly falling down rabbit holes. My main weakness is hunting for hidden gems and I love talking about new finds, so let's talk!

Oh, and I’m a UI designer. Hit me up if you need design help on any mutual aid or alternative tech projects. Always down to build better tools together.

Someone at breakfast asked me how to draw an owl. It's obvious what I had to do

Elon's brother: "Wealthism is a cultural challenge in America today and there is a general resentment that has been built up. But we’re bad-asses, we go out into the deep whole world, and we kick ass and we come back, and we gift with a vulnerable open heart.”
Oy.

@stefano It is a great afternoon here.
The week started and our aim this week at Green Youth Movement, is to raise the funds through https://gofund.me/8da0ff4a0 to atleast reach 10% of the total funds needed to purchase land for a demonstration garden.
Please, is there anyway you can contribute to our mission?

@bagder Ww have SCP and SFTP. ... why we need more?

@wintermeyer it says on top that vutuv has 6k users, how many active users are there. Is that number all local or does it include imported accounts from somewhere?

Your perspective is "that what app / FOSS projects do, and works, is a good thing". And that is a very pragmatic, workable approach in this difficult grassroots ecoysystem we have.

It also leads to a fediverse that is wholly app-centric, evolving by FOSS culture. Fediverse is 'ruled' by app devs as it were, and a "user" can only hope that the app they chose will fit their needs. This is not an ideal social networking environment, and not very different than Web 2.0.

But I am the first to admit that it will be very hard to rise to a more non-technical solution-oriented fediverse evolution process, where fedizens have more say in how the social network evolves.

I don't use Google Maps anymore, but I went ahead with the suggestion to sign in, "Edit Map," and request #LakeOntario be restored as correct name. Also did edit request on #GulfOfMexico map.

Yleisradio väittää faktana, että "tekoäly iski jo työmarkkinoille", ja selittää tällä korkeaa työttömyyttä. Minkäänlaista näyttöä tästä ei ole.

Joku muu voisi väittää, että vaikka talous nimellisesti kasvaa, oikeistohallituksen sadistinen talouskuri on tehnyt niin suurta tuhoa kotimaan kysynnälle, ettei kulutus tai työllisyys ihan heti käänny nousuun.

Mutta tietenkin on aina kivempaa syyttää tekoälyä kuin myöntää, että oikeiston talouspolitiikka olisi epäonnistunut. https://yle.fi/a/74-20243578

It's been a busy August of NetBSD hacking.

Notable changes include faster booting for very slow systems! A new optional script caching mechanism (rcorder_cache=YES) and various long-obsolete services are now disabled by default.

The in-kernel cleaner is now used by default for Log File Systems.

Support for Realtek/Killer E5000 5 gigabit Ethernet was added.

Cursor acceleration was added to the GeForce framebuffer driver.

Various disk-related commands were extended to show GPT label names.

"Muutos on kuitenkin käynnissä, ja siihen pitää [työministeri] Marttisen [kok] mukaan varautua koulutuksella.

– Uskon, että tulevina vuosina yhä enemmän opiskelua ja oman osaamisen kehittämistä tullaan tekemään työuran aikana."

Sanoo työministeri oikeistohallituksessa, joka lakkautti aikuiskoulutustuen ja vuorotteluvapaan, leikkaa koulutuksesta ja kurjistaa opiskelijoiden toimeentuloa.

En tiedä onko olemassa mitään asiaa missä nää roistot ei puhuisi yhtä ja tekisi toista.

I would suggest the same goes for long hair.... or, as I argued a few years (50) ago, WWJD....

I was 7 and asked my mum why noone could see my pants through my school trousers but her knickers showed through her dresses. She yelled at my dad for not telling her.
