The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁
Let's not squander it!
A sold out#PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.
Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.
Testuję sobie rozmaite klienty Mastodona dla Androida i pomyślałem, że zapytam na fedi, co jest ważne przy wyborze takiej apki.
Szukacie czegoś obsługującego kilka platform (Mastodon, Pixelfed, *key, *oma), czy jedną, a dobrze?
Jakie features są dla was kluczowe (poza takimi oczywistościami jak wysyłanie wpisów i przeglądanie osi czasu) i muszą być w kliencie, żebyście dali mu szansę? Może filtry albo listy? Albo przypominanie o alt text?
Na ile ważny jest wygląd aplikacji? A to, czy jest FOSS?
Taka myśl:
Kupuję samochód marki A.
Producent zaznacza że do tego samochodu rekomendowane są opony marki B, w ramach "bezpieczeństwa" wyposażone w czujnik grubości bieżnika, jeśli nie kupię tych opon a wybiorę opony marki F, niewyposażonych w ten czujnik lub niekompatybilny z samochodem to nie będę mógł osiągnąć prędkości większej niż 70 km/h. Zaznaczam że opony marki B są takiej samej jakości (albo i gorszej) oraz droższe niż opony marki F.
Co czujesz?
Dlaczego więc ludzie kupują telefony i komputery marki na A i w ramach "bezpieczeństwa" i "możliwości" są zobowiązani do korzystania tylko i wyłącznie z ich sklepu lub mają utrudnione korzystanie z akcesoriów które nie są produktem tej marki lub nie są przez nią "podpisane"?
Dlatego od ponad roku jabłka mam wyłącznie w lodówce a nie na biurku 😀

Time, use and practice are key to switching OSes, platforms and apps: you get comfortable with what you use. A good start to moving away from Microsoft Windows might be to install Libre Office on Windows, and start learning to use that for your daily word processing, presentations and spreadsheets. Take some steps with open source software before you even have to tackle a new operating system. #floss#foss#freesoftware#recall#quitwindows#quitmicrosoft
Almost a year exclusively using GrapheneOS for mobile and (many years before that) GNU/Linux for all my computing.
How quickly one gets spoiled. Found myself obliged over the past few days to help relatives use Windows and iOS. It was deeply shocking.
Windows on newish hardware is so slow that I didn't think it was responding. To say nothing of the privacy and usability nightmare.
And the Apple ratchet has tightened down a few more clicks in a year. A very high quality third party app that I bought years ago now appears in a new version "with in-app purchases," and the splash screen requires me to sign in via Google or Facebook. Perfectly ghastly.
Just added a new hotel to the website to help anyone looking for accomodation. The Trecastell Hotel is a few miles from Cemaes, but is only a 5 minute or so drive away. Busses are available as well as a possible ride sharing option if enough people are interested. Their Sunday carvery is quite tasty as well! (I went a couple of weeks ago)
Tickets are still available for the event, book your #Drupal weekend on #Anglesey today!
Another #LibreOffice feature you may not know about! You can add a navigation panel for switching slides while viewing a presentation. In the menu: Slide Show ▸ Slide Show Settings ▸ Show navigation bar. (Added in LibreOffice 7.6 😊) #foss#opensource
So Ryan, thank you for this most valuable tool to bring people around the globe together in #DeSoc - creating (and curating, as you have) ***Bridgy_Fed is one of the very best things that the Fediverse has to offer people on both sides of the protocol divide, and I really don't think that there are enough Thank you's to go around for all of the selfless effort you've put into this service.
So as meek and perhaps insignificant as it may sound, THANK YOU!
I'm genuinely curious.. when I make #FOSS applications I always make it work according to my needs instead of thinking about making it usable for everyone else. Is this normal? Am I the only one who does this? #oss
Hey #FOSS people, I am looking for a #selfhosted solution that will analyse the photos from my smartphone, guess what's on them and allow searching by thing or place. You know, something that iPhotos does on an iPhone. Any suggestions?
