New US Congress bill proposal requires all operating system providers to verify ages
We've covered here before on individual US states setting up their own age verification laws, and now a new US Congress bill has been proposed for it.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Eine Frage an die Admins hier im Fediverse. Im Admininterface von @netcup gibt es die Möglichkeit #DNSSEC für die Domain zu aktivieren. Ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass ich das vor ~2 Jahren schon mal aktiv hatte es aber zu Problemen bei der Erreichbarkeit der Domain geführt hat.
Allerdings würde ich diese Option gerne wieder aktivieren. Gibt es hier irgendetwas zu beachten? Sollte man beim Apache oder anderswo irgendwas konfigurieren?

Nachdem von @netcup bis jetzt noch keinerlei Reaktion kam, bin ich eher am überlegen, mit der Domain zu Inwx umzuziehen. Da funzt DNSSEC mit einer "Spieldomain" ohne Probleme.

We recently switched energy supplier, or so we thought. Now we technically have no supplier.
The old one was to send a final bill but didn't, the new one refused to follow through on taking us as the final bill with the old supplier was unpaid

I was a bit unprofessional today. I asked the host of a meeting to mute the zoom participants, then I addressed the two staff present in-person about their insistence on using a student’s dead name. One staffer used the excuse that the name is in the official paperwork. I called it an excuse and reminded them both that this is a human being. I might not be called back to interpret more of those meetings, but I couldn’t bear keep hearing them treat the student like that.
Bureaucracy is not an excuse for mistreating others.

This doesn't work for everyone (especially online courses must be terrible now), but I found a few simple solutions: Forget any assignment that will be "written", unless as an unscored practice or done 1 on 1 right in front of you. I did for example have written exams the same way as oral exams: one by one in my office, on my computer. Focus on actual skills. In presentations I checked the presentation itself for mistakes or omissions, but otherwise only scored the actual performance: How students spoke, how they presented their topic.
Problem is, a lot of faculty is unable to adapt, to change. I've heard "that's impossible" or "that can't be done" way too often, even after I already did it myself.

I am very happy to finally be able to announce this. We are working hard (you can’t imagine) to secure funding to continue to improve Mastodon, and are very grateful that amazing organisation like @sovtechfund invest in open-source, and especially Mastodon.
Developing open-source software is hard (and it is not becoming easier) and quality software requires a lot of hard work. Our team is growing and we are delivering more polished features than ever, and we continue to try to push it further
We’re happy to share that Mastodon has been awarded a service agreement from the Sovereign Tech Fund @sovtechfund 🎉This covers five major initiatives through 2026 and 2027. We are very grateful for this support. Read about the details in our blog post.

It's #PortfolioDay, and for once I'm also going to partake by sharing a few of my photos. I am a photographer and I shoot predominantly on film. I enjoy the slow and tactile process, and I love the grain. I try to take pictures of things I find beautiful or meaningful. You can see more of my work on my website:
Film photography really does bring a unique depth, texture, and feeling to each shot.

My current way to interest people to join us: The Fediverse is more like local politics, with small communities discussing things. Centralised networks like Twitter, TikTok, instagram etc are more like national politics, with loud mouthpieces shouting over everyone else.
This mental image helps me in understanding why the influencers fail here and they of course think that means that the fediverse must be a lost cause while we commoners happily chug along and enjoy our little street parties ;)

“We need to control the platforms, all the social platforms,” Kramer said.
He proposed a system that would “stack, rank, the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 of every person that expresses themselves online,” with speech privileges determined by that ranking.
Based on that system, Kramer said authorities should “take control over what they are saying.”

To be honest, if we MUST have age verification, I'd rather verify once with my OS vendor (likely based on account age) than for every single app/service/API.
It's the timing that baffles me...
