Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

will cut off independent developers to if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorgF-Droid and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

keepandroidopen.org/open-lette

The logo of the "Keep Android Open" campaign is an Android robot dressed as Darth Vader. Across the top it says "I AM ALTERING THE DEAL"  in all caps, and below the robot it says "Pray I don't alter it further".

This is a reference to how Android acquired a massive catalog of apps be making access open to the platform back in the day, and Google assuring it would remain open, as opposed to the iOS platform which was (and still is) very restricted.

And, of course, Star Wars.

Loops.video isn't TikTok, your account will be suspended for violating our policies by sharing extreme right-wing content.

Before you claim free speech, it's a bit different in Canada 😉

"Freedom of speech in Canada guarantees freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including press freedom. While fundamental to democracy, this right is not absolute and is subject to "reasonable limits" under Section 1, such as restrictions on hate speech, defamation, and obscenity."

Report them 😎

The reality of being a trans person living in a red state is being aware that at any moment I might need to become an intra-state refugee.

If anyone is fleeing Kansas and needs a safe place to stop overnight on the way east, hit me up. I'm in Missouri. I can save you a hotel stop and feed you.

「生活保護をもらえるものはもらおうとする人はさもしい」とか「必要ない奨学金をもらおうとするのは」とか、例えばそういう発言がそのボーダーにいる人たちにとって肩身の狭い思いをさせるのか考えると辛いし、お前らみたいな政治資金の使い道をハックしようとしてる輩のがむしろモラルハザードだよクソが

与作の背後にあるのは、過去への憧憬なんかじゃなくて、むしろサラリーマン階級の台頭でしよ。全国一律で「会社員」という階級が生じたことに応じて抽象的な過去の「日本っぽいなにか」が生じた。だから与作の舞台は具体的な「どこ」や「いつ」と名指すことができない。それは日本のどこかにあった過去でなければならない。

Wrapping up the planning

Let's wrap up the planning with some sketching, diagramming and iterating. With this part wrapping up, we're getting ever closer to actually writing some code.

Having a *tremendously* difficult day, chums. My instinct is to clam up and go all internal and self-destructive, but that is a very stupid idea and so I am telling you instead. I'M HAVING A REALLY HORRIBLE TIME AT THE MOMENT AND TODAY IS PARTICULARLY BAD. If you are moved to, I wondered if you had any good news or funny memes or pics you might like to offload onto an Internet needy. LOVE YOU. ❤️

A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.

So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).

Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!
