I believe you also have noticed that rubberized tools can get very sticky if not used for a while. Recent exemples from my life is a computer mouse and radio nobs, not used for a couple of years. Any trick to get rid of it? When it is in daily usage this does not happen, is it because I rob it off with my hand and fingers all the time?

ActivityPub Starter Kits update:

I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!

ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.

An excellent layperson's breakdown of how Bluesky works, beneath the hood ...

... specifically, what's decentralized about it (content storage, for now) and what, for now, isn't (the part that queries for updates in user's posts, and then assembles it into a feed)

Nu är jag bara en tidningsläsare och inte en tidningsmakare, men jag tycker artikelrubriken som kom för en halvtimme sedan är för dyster. Eller vad tycker du?

208. You remember that wavelength? Or the 1440 frequency.

DigiKam 8.5.0 is released! Professional Photo Management with the Power of Open Source.

Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. For Linux, I recommend to use the AppImage from the team, see their download page.

I use digiKam as my photo catalog manager and for other photo tasks. I also use some other photo tools, but digiKam is the center for my digital photo management.

I samband med att jag gick mänskliga rättighetskursen Integritet, teknik och övervakning såg jag den tyska filmen De andras liv.

Filmen utspelar sig i DDR (Östtyskland) 1984 och handlar om övervakningssamhället genom Stasi.

En jobbig film som jag tycker är mycket bra. Den finns på SVT Play nu.

Jag tänker på när Botkyrkabyggen hade bioreklam om att hyra hos dem. Och i tidsperioeden då de kunde plugga igen en trea till en tvåa, jag tror det gällde Albydelen av beståndet, som man sedan kunde öppna om man ville ha större. En tid när det var så många tomma lägenheter hos Botkyrkabyggen. Jag tror det var något efter jag började hyra hos Botkyrkabyggen dvs mitten av 80-talet, en opluggad två. Apropå Norra B, så är det nu 30 år sedan Välkommen till förorten kom ut, förtäljde Kulturnyheterna.

If you are an editor of a magazine whose readers include people who are worried about keeping themselves and their loved ones safe in the upcoming Trump administration, I know a lot about this, I am here to give tech advice, and I care about reaching people who don't read EFF blog posts.

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has just launched its own dedicated Mastodon server, social.freedom.press: freedom.press/about/announceme

Now all FPF-related activity on Mastodon is now accessible from a single Fediverse server: @securedrop @dangerzone @foiafeed

Hopefully this move will be an example to other organizations. "The Fediverse is nonalgorithmic and community-driven, without the potential algorithmic distortions or content suppression imposed by centralized platforms."

IT-systemet Millennium är nog inte byggt med öppen källkod.

Now I was close to use Google translate again, but I stopped myself in time to instead open my paper book dictionary to look up the translation.

Without notice or explanation, Apple reportedly pulls Russians' access to podcasts by independent journalists at The Insider, Echo of Moscow, and BBC Russian. Not a good look, fruit company. zona.media/news/2024/11/14/nop

My mate @kevie is a nae bad lad, & recorded a show for Hacker Public Radio:

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter stops publishing on X.
“Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, we will not publish anything there from our official accounts, says editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski.

Jag grunnade på övervakningskameror i offentliga rummet.

Särskilt i kombination med olika former av automatisk igenkänning. Jag förstår det goda i att förhindra och utreda brott och olyckor med övervakningen. Men jag tycker samtidigt att det är otäckt att denna typ av övervakning inte går att värja sig mot, det finns ingen personlig valmöjlighet.

Än värre med övervakningen om staten blir direkt ond, om brottslingar tar sig in och övervakar mig, eller t ex en angripare i krig.

"Mojeek is quite a breath of fresh air in the search engine arena. The thing I like the most is that you can set different search engines to query as well. Once you hit the search button, at the bottom of the results, you will see other search engines that you enabled in the settings. Clicking on it will bring you there, searching for the term you searched on Mojeek. Pretty neat, I would say."
