The German state of Schleswig-Holstein has made a strategic bet on Nextcloud’s on-premises AI as part of its focus on digital sovereignty.

Read on for detailed insights into this recently announced collaboration!

Interesting move. But why AI? Wouldn't it be just great to have "simple" digitization capabilities? But anyway, keep us posted how it goes and good luck 😉



So excited to announce a brand new feature for StreetPass: Custom Profile URLs! Users now have the ability to set a custom URL scheme they want profiles to be opened with.

This feature is super powerful. Not only can you set it to your home server to easily follow people, you can also set it to 3rd party Mastodon apps... even native ones (🤯)! A few presets include @ivory, @elk, and @IceCubesApp, as well as mastodon.social & mastodon.online

Try it today at streetpass.social 😄

- have you been hacked? Why are you posting these regs? This one is obsolete and irrelevant.

"Laudate Deum": Apostolic Exhortation to all people of good will on the climate crisis (4 October 2023) | Pope Francis

in reply to Alex Prichard

@alexprichard If you thought that was refreshing, you should see the earlier encyclical (and check off a new genre of papal literature!), Laudato Si. It is much less wonky, more poetic and prophetic.

holy shit…! I mean, Jesus Christ, no… er 😐

If it's always online I can just play the cloud version when it comes to GamePass... that's disappointing.

Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

in reply to LovesTha🥧

@LovesTha Alice Springs is the only real population center in this area with 25k people, there are some other little settlements but probably max 30k people


Emissions from computing are apparently higher than for air travel, and that’ll only go up in the coming decades.

“As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible. We need frugal computing: achieving our aims with less energy and material.”

One of the tricky things about being a solo indie is taking the time to properly rest after long development cycles. When I stop working all work stops so it can be difficult to justify the time. Though I've gotten better at forcing myself to over the years. This year's summer was particularly challenging.

I just got back from a few days hiking in the hills and as I so often find, you don't realize how much you need a break until you take one.

Now comes the fun of working out what comes next.



I get a lot of spammy emails, especially the type of spam where these people keep on replying to themselves to get bumped up in my inbox and the latest reply from one was just this...
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I get a ton of similar messages, and the jewel of the irritation is that they are mostly about fedoraforum.org, which is an unofficial community forum I have nothing to do with.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I usually reply and say they can't afford my fees, and give them a silly high number. That usually shuts them up 😀

Social no longer drives traffic to legitimate news sites, but continues to drive traffic to sources of disinformation. Both government and media are to blame. axios.com/2023/10/03/social-me…
in reply to Mike Elgan

I have to wonder though, in the age of the Referer (sic) header falling out of favour, how do you measure where the traffic comes from anymore?

My friends at Consumer Reports launched Permission Slip today for iOS and Android. You sign up, verify your identity, and they’ll submit data opt out and deletion orders to data brokers and consumer companies on your behalf.

Edit: the app is currently not working because too many folks signed up at once, but keep an eye on it!
