If you ask me, we've been moving backwards with increasing speed since the start of Reagan's first term. Now, Trump, Musk and the tech CEO bros are turbocharging that reverse move: The death of DEI in tech https://www.computerworld.com/article/3803330/the-death-of-dei-in-tech.html

Talk to me while I fix lunch.

Sweden's 2009 move to digital classroom resources is being reversed in a €104 million project to switch back to physical text books. The reason? Falling standards in reading and writing.

Fully appreciating that the people who see this are unlikely to be representative of the general population, I ask this nevertheless:

Do you, currently, run your own email server, without significant problems with email deliverability?

(I am asking because, so often, one hears that it is not possible, so I wonder how many other people here are successfully doing the impossible :))

@ayoub unwaivering and uncritical support of Israel is one of the few things that enjoys bipartisan support in US politics.

Surveillance is the other.

Apparently BlueSky has implemented the digital equivalent of arm bands. Niiiiiiice.

TOTP secrets were made more secure. The UI was made more accessible and reworked to improve the UX. Searching users, repositories, releases and issues was improved. Low German (Plattdüütsch) translation was completed. This is the last version to allow a transparent upgrade from Gitea v1.22 or lower.

I'd be happy to share my notes - I'm no hosting genius, but I've been running email services that are great to use, full-featured, and provide user-friendly delegation to others wanting to manage their own domains &/or mailboxen. Happy to share my notes.

I wish more people capable & confident to do so would run their own email services, and provide access to them for their friends (who would, one hopes, realise the great benefit of having a family domain). That'd help to undermine the current cabal of mostly ill-intentioned email providers out there. Email's too important to trust to a colossal corporation that sees you (and your correspondents!) as a resource to be data-mined. Plus, it really isn't nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

Have been referred by my doctor for an X-ray. Got sent a txt to a mobile 'appointment creation' webservice by the local (private) radiology monopoly. Haven't made appointment (it's not urgent) because I'm going to be away fro a while. So someone from that monopoly rang me today to help me book... I informed her that I was going to shift my appointment to the alternative (competing, smaller, private monopoly), just to help balance things. She sniped that they're also owned by a 'big co'... 1/2

The bug was fixed and the release rescheduled 16 January. 🤞

oh shit this is good advice

"keep records of your IDR loan forgiveness tracker via screenshots or converting the webpages into PDF images. You then save them to your computer, print them out as hard copies, or both."

Huh, I didn't know this was in the works... https://dri.es/drupal-cms-1-released
