@beacondb I'm trying with the first LTE cell from my operator in the dump and get 404:

$ zcat MLS-full-cell-export-final.csv.gz | grep LTE,260,3, | head -n 1
LTE,260,3,11,1306213,402,21.0048378,52.2180052,0,1,1,1670110185,1670110185,
$ curl -X POST beacondb.net/v1/geolocate -H "content-type:application/json" -d '{"cellTowers":[{"radioType":"lte","mobileCountryCode":260,"mobileNetworkCode":3,"locationAreaCode":11,"cellId":1306213}]}'

jokish speculation 

AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Channel 4 News, in talking about today's #Microsoft #CrowdStrike fuckup, stated that the expected Y2K effect was imaginary.

No! No! NO!

We did a massive amount of work to update and ensure systems would keep on working. And more importantly WE TESTED EVERYTHING FULLY BEFORE GOING LIVE.

@rysiek Well, you linked to someone who claimed it wasn't. How trustworthy that report is? You tell me! 😁

@rysiek From what I've gathered so far from the ever reliable Social Media Feeds™ it appears that it wasn't a driver update, but rather a update data file that then caused the unchanged driver to crash when it tried to parse and apply it, which would effectively bypass the signing requirement.

Can't join (events.gnome.org/event/209/) this year but at least I can watch the live stream on a 📱 running a based shell () and lots of components with a video player using GTK and (). Life could be worse.

@beacondb @nicorikken Is Mozilla's cell tower dataset actually in use? When I query beaconDB for an LTE cell I'm connected to right now (which is present in Mozilla's dump) I only get 404 responses.

I’m still irritated that as Twitter died all the public information oriented campaigns (transit, fire service, govt announcements) didn’t shift to providing easy to access open technology alternatives for getting that information to people.

And I’m not talking about Mastodon or any other Fediverse stuff. I want RSS. I want to subscribe to a BVG feed to learn about disruptions, I want an easy to access feed of events and protests in my city…

@aho Potentially! It's kinda a PD MITM device (so you could provide power and use USB 2 while negotiating custom alt-mode or debug accessory mode, sending VDMs etc.), plus it exposes UART on SBU over USB. One possible use-case is to get convenient access to Librem 5's serial console, but it should also be useful with, say, Macbooks or plenty other stuff.

@josch Well, refunds are another matter... 😫 Just wanted to point out that manufacturing of the phones is a thing from the past, they've been already produced with a surplus, so if you actually wanted to receive one you could for a while now.

@josch @deshipu @mntmn Orders from 2019 have been manufactured and shipped two years ago already, and the whole queue was processed last year. They only get shipped after confirming shipping address, so if you didn't then your phone is still waiting in the warehouse.

@EC_NGI and @nlnet make a dramatic impact to improve our sustainable, privacy and attention respecting #linuxmobile ecosystem. One of the very few answers we have to the duopoly of Android and iOS from Silicon Valley!

Because of that we are saddened about the @EUCommission not mentioning NGI programmes anymore in their draft of funding programmes for 2025. 😢

We signed the open letter, consider doing the same if your project received funding in the past.

I signed an open letter to the @EUCommission requesting continued funding of open source software innovation and maintenance via the @EC_NGI program.

Free and open source software is not free. Supporting it is vital to the EU economy and innovation competitiveness.

@nlnet@nlnet.net and @NGIZero funded the development of many social web apps years before they were needed and likely much underlying software in the devices you depend on every day.

@diabellus @SceNtriC Raczej problem z konkretnym człowiekiem. Nie mieszkam sam, pracujemy z domu od wielu lat, a raczej trudno mi sobie wyobrazić podobną sytuację. No, najwyżej z kotami bywa różnie 😼

also it's quite sad that CHIPS ( which is now enabled in Nightly by default ) gets none of the attention compared to PPAs... like, i get it, "Mozilla bad" gets way more reactions than "Mozilla good", but still .~.

Chances are that you might have heard about #Firefox "Privacy Preserving Attribution for Advertising". I've been working for Mozilla for 12 years and I've learned about it here on the fediverse, not only because I haven't been paying much attention, but because internal comms have been occupied with other stuff. So let's talk about something I feel Mozilla desperately needs: transparency. 🧵 1/11
