If you are using mobile linux with T-mobile/a T-mobile MVNO, you may have noticed that sending MMSes stopped working recently.

I figured out the issue and released a new version of mmsd-tng to fix it:

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/2.1.0

https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/tags/1.13.0 .

1.x uses libsoup2 and 2.x uses libsoup3, there shouldn't be any differences between the versions besides that.

My book on facial recognition technology comes out on September 19! Over the last two years, I tracked down the tech's early pioneers, found the people fighting against its worst impulses, and dove into the history of Clearview AI, the start-up that first drew me into the topic with a radical person-finding app that giants in the field, including Google and Facebook, had deemed taboo. It feels real now because there's a release date and a preorder button: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691288/your-face-belongs-to-us-by-kashmir-hill/

I have about 30 minutes before I need to do the next step in the brewing process, and everything I can clean is clean, so now's a good time if anyone had any questions or wanted more specific details about brewing in general or my brewing specifically.

Now for the first (and for this recipe only) hop addition with 60 minutes left in the boil. These are whole leaf Cascade hops that we harvested from our hop plant in our garden this summer.

Adding hops at this stage of the boil extracts compounds that make the beer taste more bitter. These compounds are also anti-microbial and help protect the beer from infection post-boil, especially in the sensitive stage before the yeast make any alcohol.

@datn I’m trying out the service provided by Your Digital Rights:

It creates an email similar to the one in the screenshot for your and they also apparently tell you when to follow up, etc.

Not all our funds are NGI, as you correctly stipulate. We are an independent foundation. I agree we should actually run an ActivityPub server ourselves - but we've been rather busy with grantmaking and hauling in budgets for doing so.

We are actually looking for a communications officer which would among others look after that kind of thing:

The ⁨#scale19x⁩ memory that will stick with me most is when an unopened soda can left in front of the projector exhaust vent exploded in the middle of my talk like a gunshot, shooting a geyser of soda in the air. I'm going to get so much mileage out of that story.

Who would have thought that a thermal exhaust port could be so risky?

You can make an app used by millions that has absolutely no tracking. 🙈🙊🙉
