oh. another point (which latex demonstrates well):
i'm not quite sure here, but:
Ukraine is going to win and US legacy will be to do have done absolutely as little as possible to help.
Steering output to having feedback applied more often tends to create more interesting iterations... though some budgeting had to be implemented to keep the shape count in check

Someone asked:
> will it ever be straightforward for those of us with an android phone and a Mac? Without having to use a third party password manager?
Although Apple Passwords, which is not available for Android, can’t help you here, there are awesome apps that can handle this for you. Including 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, and even Google Password Manager (part of Google Chrome). Note that Google Password Manager is free.
@rmondello chiming in with personal experience: i use a pixel and a macbook air and bitwarden's been awesome for me
(op says "without having to use a third party password manager?", if they use https://passwords.google that might mean that they'd have to use chrome on the mac?)
RE: https://floss.social/@CoMaps/116555851287909865
This is a feature many folks have been waiting for. Between this and the ability to self-host your maps, deploying CoMaps in places with limited connectivity is now even easier!
@elettrona sono sicuro anch'io che questa sia la risposta giusta. Come ho scritto altrove
mi sembra una strategia adeguata. Infatti chi ha un account social quasi sicuramente ha anche un account WhatsApp e quindi quello è il modo più facile per creare un gruppo. Non puoi chiedere a persone di questo genere di aprire un gruppo Matrix o xmpp...
@notizie Mai sia! Io stessa mi trovo a usare relativamente poco matrix e xmpp - non perché non voglia, ma perché con gente che lo usa, non ho una confidenza tale da permettergli di stare in un'app per smartphone che manda notifiche (sui social pubblici tipo questo, le ho disattivate)
agentic AI in particular is so fucking funny. i run an absolutely *tiny* indie studio and i still ask people "hey could you run me through how this works?" all the time because knowing how things work is a vital part of creating a quality product
how does that work with AI? "hey could you run me through how this works?" and people just go "idk the AI did it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
If last time you tried @fdroidorg, it looked outdated and was difficult to use, now might be a good moment to give it another go.
The upcoming 2.0 (in alpha release) UI is modern and easy-to-use.
More users non-Google Android apps have, the better future Android will have as a whole.
Support app creators who won't go after your data or cluter everything with predatory in-app-purchase strategies.
Even if you don't care about Open Source, embracing devs here makes your phone better.
I've started as the ABC’s national AI tech reporter, after 5 unreal years at Crikey. AI is one of the biggest stories of our time. The sheer amount of money, influence and hype makes it ripe for critical, nuanced and accessible reporting.

Aaron Swartz joined the RSS working group when he was 13. At 15 he became a foundational member of Creative Commons. He was working on precursors to markdown at 16.
We should not be locking young people out of our communities and keeping them away from digital tools that can open doors for them, expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and help them grow into well-rounded adults.
Qp @nathandyer y'a que moi qui suis gênée par ce pouet.
🇪🇺 We signed the open letter calling for an Open Source First approach in Europe.
The question public institutions should ask first is simple:
🤔 Is there already a qualified open-source solution that does the job?
If yes, it should be seriously considered before creating new dependencies.
That is how digital sovereignty becomes real.

Not aussie but after a bit of practice I even managed to catch'em on the fly sometimes!
In 2000 I attended at a demonstration of native Australian culture in Imola (the town that hosts the F1 circuit). Here I was taught how to throw boomerangs.
Other things I didn't know:
- some boomerangs don't return, they're called kylie
- they were used for hunting, fishing, playing and decoration, forget swiss army knives!
- they return because they're made like an airplane's wing, flat on one side, curved on the other
- you have to throw the stick with the curved part at 45° against the wind
- in Imola there is a (Italian) guy that is fond of native Australian culture, has a long beard, wears only a small thong and destroyed a beautiful boomerang while shouting "I've been throwing boomerangs since I was 10 years old!"
I found an old video of me practicing!
I still have that boomerang... hm....
@roshless We've been hammering code and UX for more than one year, some team members would release alpha11 as Stable. But until then alpha10 will refine the UI a bit more based on user studies... so have patience. 😬
