At long long last, RADV finally has ray tracing pipelines enabled by default!!! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

We recently hired @tyrylu to work on #Linux desktop #accessibility (mostly #GNOME stack) and coordinate our renewed efforts in this area.
He just joined #Fediverse. If you care about Linux desktop #a11y, make sure you follow him.
It has been some time since we last published a global product report for the Librem 5 phone. This is not because of slowing down our development effort, it is the opposite. We have been very busy and we have made substantial progress during the last few months.
A few years ago, JSF (@jakartaee Faces) seemed like a legacy framework. And now I see 2 trustworthy people praising it in the same week. World is turning around :) Or are people fed up with hyped frameworks? https://twitter.com/simas_ch/status/1661007259407900678

On Monday, I wrote an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American. I tracked proportional engagement, calculated as (likes + shares + comments)/followers, over six social media platforms.
The winner? MASTODON, by a landslide.
Second place? INSTAGRAM. It's harder to share posts on IG, but lot of people like things there!
The loser? FACEBOOK, also by a landslide. On Facebook, I've been shadow-banned since August 2018 when they listed clean energy and climate as "socially sensitive topics" so my page there stopped growing 6 years ago and now only about 1% of my followers there ever see my posts. It's actually too bad, because that's the platform where I reach the most conservative audiences through their connections to friends and family. So even though it's dead last, I still persist.

No, you can't license my cat picture to Elon, Jack and Mark.
When you post on #Bluesky, #Twitter or #Meta you agree to grant them a very broad perpetual license to the content, including the right to sublicense. On Mastodon, most instances do not take a license. Any bridge that takes content from Mastodon and, without permission, puts that content on another platform is violating that user's copywrite to the content. You can not license content which you do not own.
