님들아 블루스카이를 경배하라 우리가 흔히 블스화질저하라고 알고있는 강제압축 (CDN 최적화)과정을 거치면서 기존 이미지 대비 생성형 AI 이미지가 동일 퀄리티로 더 잘 압축되는 경향이 있다고 합니다 = 용량 작아짐 AI 이미지는 컴퓨터가 인식할때 노이즈가 없는 매끄러운 상태로 출력되므로 동일 퀄리티로 보여도 실제 그림보다 용량이 훨 작아진다 하네요 그리고 jpg 변환과정에서 해당효과가 크게 나타나는데 이 역시 블스가 자동으로 해주고, 10%씩 압축을 반복하기 때문에 타 플랫폼 대비 용량으로 이미지 구분이 가능하다고 합니다
This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:
This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.
If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

Do you have something similar in your country? Why not help your national FLOSS projects get the status and support they often desperately need? Start your own petition!

I've never worked in an "agile" job before, but I've read the agile manifesto, and now I'm looking at Azure DevOps and thinking "No, this just isn't what you say it is."

After nearly 20 years using Lenovo laptops, they have reversed the positions of the Ctrl and Function keys on the left of the keyboard, and I have rarely felt so betrayed.
We are cooking @fedoraFedora Project 44, and we could use some help testing it before it is ready for prime time!
From February 11 to 13 we will have the Fedora @gnome@floss.social 50 Desktop Test Days!

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

This afternoon we took Emo in to the emergency vet, but sadly the blood clot we knew would eventually come had arrived.
We are obviously devastated, he was born on my foot, was loving, cuddly, demanding and such a personality. But we also know he had the best life a cat could wish for and was greatly loved by many more than just us.
We're taking some time offline for a bit, cuddling Davina and generally allowing ourselves to be sad
Boston area old tech people: my partner has two 8-track cassettes that he'd like to listen to and/or see if he can digitize. We're looking for a place or person who has an eight track player locallish to him, optimally.
This is a one-time thing, we do not want to buy a player. We might pay for a digitizing service.
Ideas or leads? Harvard's library system does not have what we need, amazingly.

Hey, #introduction time for me.
I'm Kinou, I created this account because I want to learn to write on the web again. I've been on fedi for a while but got paralyzed whenever I wanted to write or boost anything. This is me trying to break free 
I work(ed) in community building and tech until the later ended up in burnout. Now learning to heal from that.
Topics I feel comfortable talking about for now are selfhosting, linux and inclusion/non discrimination.
Firefox uses on-device downloaded-on-demand ML models for privacy-preserving translation.
They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.
Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?

It's curious how, when I try software made by others, I always feel like I'm experiencing something clean and well done.
When I try my own, it always feels like I haven't done enough.
to make this one concrete, the argument, as I understand it, re: transhumanism is basically "improvement requires comparison, comparison requires hierarchy, improvement implies replacement pressure. also the people who came up with transhumanism called it eugenics"
So apparently Pop Mart's next big success after Labubu is something called "Hirono Dolls" and I looked it up and… these are actually incredibly cute

Every elected Republican and everyone running for office needs to be asked what they will do to stop this. It’s not enough to ask whether they support it or not. What will they do, that's the question to be asked, with video running, so they know it’s recorded and will be played back as often as needed, for every political and judicial purpose.
President Trump said Republicans should try to "nationalize" elections as he keeps levelling unfounded claims of voter fraud
