RIP SimpleMobileTools, you will be missed github.com/SimpleMobileTools/G…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Awesome. I am really disappointed with how this went down. I fully understand him wanting out, and some compensation in return, but the lack of communication and the company he sold too have really left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope the You suite and the SMT forks both find success, Android desperately needs a decent FOSS app suite.
in reply to Dajix

@dajix If he released a blog post or announced it on the Github I'd think it was scummy but a lot less so. But the fact that people find out via a 3rd party Reddit post is insane
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Yeah, I agree 100%. I know OSS devs "don't owe their user base anything", and I hate entitled users shitting on them as much as the next guy, but surely they could've taken 2 minutes out of their day to personally inform their passionate community about their finalised decisions on the future of the apps people rely on. Also, don't forget the poor souls who bought the Simple Phone, expecting a user respecting, private device.



Most-followed Mastodon accounts, by rank: holy crap, I'm actually on this list! (Okay, I'm not in the top one hundred: but even so …)

Big take-away is that there are no mega-stars, as on twitter: while news and media are showing up, this isn't where you go to kibbitz on pop stars ripping each other.

Limited selection for now, but I promise some happily wasted hours with the original Commander Keen, among others!

Thank you for the rational take regarding systemd homed in the video! I feel like the community has a major problem of splitting effort into 10 projects that work poorly instead of one working well, and then getting religious about it. Systemd is a great example...
in reply to Brodie Robertson

instance. In the past and hopefully in the near future, when I get a Linux environment for work again, online accounts synchronized my Outlook calendar and contacts. That is pretty handy.

As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.

If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?

The survey is available here:

Please boost—thank you so much!

Iran-linked cyberattacks threaten equipment used in U.S. water systems and factories


The cyberattacks have spanned multiple states, CISA said. While the equipment in question, "Unitronics Vision Series programmable logic controllers," is predominately used in water and wastewater systems, companies in energy, food and beverage manufacturing, and health care are also under threat.

"Money threatened the performance. It showed the backstage. Without a wage, the fantasy of doing what you love can be maintained."

Tokens, p. 34

Concluding a section that considers how artists and housewives are and were paid in tokens that maintained a power dynamic, fronted by the myth that the labour committed is for doing "what you love" and therefore shouldn't be rewarded.

There's this beautiful line in #Tomte's Die Schönheit der Chance ("the beauty of chance" — mind you, there's no German word for serendipity).

It's not the sun going down,
It's the earth turning...

I gathered with a friend to mourn and organize in response to the current violence in Israel and Palestine. We used the Beautiful Trouble deck our anti-zionist Jewish priestess friend Rae Abileah co-designed to brainstorm ideas.

The first set of cards we pulled were meant to be. An artistic vigil rooted in intersectionality, aimed at activating international mechanisms.

My friend is an art teacher and the repeated call by the UNCRC and many others for a #CeasefireNow guides our work. 1/

This is beautiful indeed, and so glad to see you teaming up with Rae!

@Nouvanity Some people actually do get confused when I critique anything about the way Wayland is being managed, it's almost like nuance exists

However, the mechanisms underlying these protective effects are not well understood. To decipher these mechanisms, we performed dual infections with HIV-1 and HIV-2 in cell culture.'

I've been a fan of these nerds since around 2010-2012 (bad time personally, so timeframes vary) and their charity work every year has me in awe! Fostering such a generous community for so many years is incredible to me.
