It's SCaLE21x week! We're dragging out our suitcases and making our packing lists - can't forget the stickers! We'll be at Booth 215 Friday through Sunday, and we hope you come visit us. It's our first year at SCaLE and we can hardly wait. 🐧 🌴

And in a completely, totally, honestly unrelated question, we've been thinking about the kinds of Easter Eggs you can't eat. What are YOUR favorite hidden surprises? Any media counts! 🐣 😉

Ugh. No more unceremonious shutdowns of creative institutions, please. https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/rooster-teeth-shutting-down-warner-bros-discovery-1235931953/

Today's pro-tip:

If you have to do a Google search, use “before:2023" at the beginning of your search string. You get a completely different (and IMO much more usable) set of results.

The web has died.

Here’s a clear example of how aggressive the image processing has become on newer iPhones. This is a comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 11 Pro Max, taking photos of distant text at equal magnification. Note how the 15 Pro Max’s image pipeline has made up all the details.

EDIT: I’m going to drop mentions of “AI” and “hallucinating” here because I think it’s conjuring up the wrong mental models in readers’ heads. What’s likely happening is over-eager noise reduction and sharpening (which may or may not have pattern matching) creating details where none exist. Every phone does some amount of NR and sharpening, but later iPhones are super aggressive in this regard, so much so that the results often depart from what we accept as “reality”.

Hey, remember the Linux For Everyone theme song? My friend Jerry wrote that, and his new band Baseball Bat just released their first single.

Stay tuned for their 7-song EP which is incredibly catchy, quirky power pop/rock through and through. You'll dig it!

This week’s #WeRateLaptopLids submission comes from @mb. Let’s get right into it:

✅ Has both real and mystical creatures
✅ Is ThinkPad
✅ Owner loves record stores
✅ Obligatory VLC sticker
✅ Pleasing arrangement of hexagon stickers

🪧 SCORE: 11/10

Friendly advice: There is a Mastodon setting where you can group boosts within your timeline so you won’t see the same post getting boosted over and over again.

Go to Mastodon in the browser > Gear icon > Menu icon in upper right > Other > Check "Group boosts in timelines"

(May be slightly different on a desktop, but that's the general idea)

Disclaimer: It's not perfect, but it's something.

You've heard of WE RATE DOGS, but are you ready for WE RATE LAPTOP LIDS? 💻😄

Maybe your laptop is decorated with stickers from your favorite #FOSS projects or Linux distros. Maybe it's adorned with your favorite bands, characters, comics, or coffee shops.

Or maybe it's just a sticker of your awesome silly face, like this one from Thunderbird's own @brendan (Shows restraint, perfect centering, makes us laugh: 11/10).

Take a photo of YOURS and email it to us: 💌 community@thunderbird.net

Now that we're all back and recovering from FOSDEM, we'd love to know two things: what were your favorite talks, and just as importantly, what were your favorite moments in between the talks? 🤔

(And no, those talks and moments don't have to be Thunderbird related! This is not a shameless ploy for attention, we promise. We'll be MUCH more obvious about those! 😜 💙 )

#Thunderbird #FOSDEM #OpenSource

thunderbird, 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to opensource

We have all the info (and links) for the FOSDEM talks from members of our Thunderbird community in this thread, so whether you're trying to get into a room or watch a talk from the comfort of your own space (and computer), we have you covered. Like Seven says, there's no reason not to be there! 🧵 (1/4)

If you'll be at FOSDEM this weekend, can you help us with this sticky situation? You can find us in Building K, Level 1, Group B where Team Thunderbird will be happy to share their knowledge, excitement, and of course, stickers!

thunderbird, 3 months ago to opensource

Heading to FOSDEM? We are too! Don't miss @ryanleesipes talk on how to bring your open source project roaring back to life with the Thunderbird template. Join us in person AND online this Saturday at 10:00 (UTC +1) here: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2741-take-your-foss-project-from-surviving-to-thriving/

We have more talks and our stand (Building K - Level 1 - Group B), so stay tuned for more FOSDEM updates this week!

Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

When you're feeling down, and having a rubbish day please remember:

killyourfm, 5 months ago to random

This is my personal favorite song on the EP. I actually cried after doing the vocal take you're hearing (the "make it through" scream in the mix wasn't planned.)

These songs deal with love, longing, and loss -- and this is definitely the one about loss.
