"My" best bird photo that I didn't take.
Back in 2005, working in an office, this warbler kept landing outside one of the engineer's window. I'd hang out in his office with the DSLR and long lens trying to catch it, but it didn't show up. Finally I showed the engineer how to use the DSLR and lens, set it up on a tripod, and left him to it.
So, his shot, my camera and framing/editing tweaks. 🤓

#ScribesAndMakers 21 January: Share an author quote you find meaningful.

"The thing I like particularly about this story is the sensation that somewhere in England there has been wandering around for the last quarter-century a perfectly ordinary guy who's had the same exact story, only he doesn't have the punch line."
-- Douglas Adams, "Packet of Biscuits" from "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish", 1984

Explanation why in the comments.

No matter what you write about, or how many people read it, there will always be people who don't -get- the story you write.

And they will wander through life without having the proverbial punch line to the joke.

They won't get it, they never will get it, and you shouldn't let that get you down.

You write for yourself first, and your readers who do get it second, or you're doing yourself a disservice.

The fact that some people won't understand what you wrote about, and will sometimes entirely misconstrue the punch line in an effort to make your writing fit their preconceptions, should amuse you rather than dissuade you.

You know what it meant to you when you wrote it, and you put it out there for likeminded souls to find, and that's the most important thing.

You and the group of people who do get the gist of what you meant to convey share that understanding between yourselves.

Booked an #OpenBSD instance @OpenBSDAms in Dec and finally put it to use serving static #Jekyll pages. Setting up #Caddy and Let's Encrypt was refreshingly easy, and the OpenBSD FAQ helped with package management. The only real hurdle was serving content on port 80 and 443. I'm solving that with pf redirecting traffic to Caddy at the moment.

Afgelopen vrijdag was Antifa Fest winter edition, leuk geplanned op 16-1 😉
Het was goed om een keer zoveel kameraden uit alle delen van het land bij elkaar te zien voor iets anders dan een demo.

Nog leuker, @AKUtrecht had een leuke stand met boekjes, pins & buttons en meer, gefoccussed op allerlei anarchistische thema’s.

De 3 bands die speelde waren leuk om te zien en er werd flink gedanst.

Al met al een geslaagde avond.



Auf dem Wiener Platz kommt es immer wieder zu Gewalt- und Drogendelikten.

#CDU und - euphemistisch gesprochen - andere Konservative im #StaDDrat forderten daraufhin mehr Präsenz von #Ordnungsamt und #Polizei.

Gebracht hat es nichts.

Stufe 2 der kommunalen Repressionsmaschinerie war dann eine dauerhafte #Citywache an der Spitze der Prager Straße.

Gebracht hat auch das nichts, abgesehen von unnötigen Mehrkosten im städtischen Haushalt.

Kommen wir nun also zu Stufe 3, zum feuchten Traum eines jeden Orwell-Fans: flächendeckende Videoüberwachung, garniert mit KI-gestützter Erkennungssoftware.

Die Wissenschaft sagt: "Bringt's nicht."
Der Datenschutz sagt: "Geht nicht."
Die CDU sagt: "Her damit!"

„Wir sind auf den Weg zum Überwachungsstaat“, befürchtet @mswdresden (#Piraten).

Oggi un collega ha preso il codice di un web service che ho scritto tempo fa e lo ha dato in pasto a Claude. Quindi mi segnala tre "bug".
1°: il mio codice è più compatto e fa la stessa roba.
2°: la fix fa sballare il risultato.
3°: secondo il ragionamento di Claude, in una situazione tra due avrei dovuto modificare la semantica delle variabili in uso perché gli garbava così (con risultato inaccettabile).
Successone proprio.

Ci tengo a precisare che non sono un disfattista della IA (ho a che fare col tema fin da tempi non sospetti - PoliMi, anni '80): sono un disfattista delle potenze economiche che si impadroniscono di software libero creato dal genio di migliaia di persone per arricchirsi vendendo spazzatura.
Non è necessario arricchire ancora di più i multimiliardari: l'IA può girare anche in casa (entro certi limiti, ma si può).

RE: mastodon.social/@teilenswert/1…

Ich sag ja schon immer: "fehlendes Geld" in der Politik ist immer eine Ausrede, um nicht "fehlender politischer Wille" zu sagen, denn immer da, wo es politischen Willen gibt, ist Geld nie das Problem.

Den politischen Willen kann man immer daran erkennen, wohin das Geld fließt und wo es fehlt. Es ist eine Lüge, wenn behauptet wird, Geld sei der Grund, warum vorgeblicher politischer Wille nicht umgesetzt werden könne. Die Frage, wo Geld ist und wo nicht liegt IMMER am Willen. Nie andersrum.


„Deutschland ist stinkreich, trotz aller Wirtschaftskrisen. Unser Sozialstaat ist ganz selbstverständlich finanzierbar, ob bei den Renten oder in der #Grundsicherung. Wir könnten Armut nicht nur bekämpfen, sondern beseitigen. Aber es fehlt der Mut und der Wille zu einer Politik, die von den vielen überreichen Menschen in Deutschland verlangt, etwas abzugeben,“ sagt Soziallobbyist Ulrich Schneider im Interview mit @riffreporter.

I see this prompted a bunch of spicy takes, so to be clear -- in the near term, 🤷. SDDM will continue to work as it does now.

Why the 😞? It's about uncertainty. Is a significant amount of SDDM development and maintenance effort coming from KDE folks, who will now be working on PLM instead? Are Linux distributions migrating from SDDM to PLM?

github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/21…

in reply to Ed Maste

KDE Plasma has two login managers in dominant use:

* SDDM
* LightDM

Plasma Login Manager was forked from SDDM to offer a more integrated option leveraging systemd and Plasma features, but @kde (as a project) still supports SDDM (and continues to develop its SDDM integrations) for non-systemd OSes, and the LightDM KDE Greeter also exists as well (though it's not commonly used).

We want to continue supporting our BSD friends if they can help us in doing so. KDE ❤️ FreeBSD.

in reply to Neal Gompa (ニール・ゴンパ)

the moment you start requiring systemd is the moment my donations stop. DrKonqi sutuation almost made me stop.
in reply to Kara Zaim

The larger problem we have is that when we (KDE) ask for help for supporting the alternate paths, nobody steps up to help. If nobody shows up, what are we supposed to do?

The DrKonqi situation happened because nobody showed up when @sitter reached out and asked for assistance to solve this for those.

Supporting these codepaths isn't free. It requires expertise, maintainership, and continuous productive feedback to keep things working. We want to, but we can't do it alone!

in reply to Neal Gompa (ニール・ゴンパ)

No surprise, the main problem is not a technical one 😀

I'm discussing the login/session management topic with some FreeBSD folks, and there are lots of different paths to investigate (which could include adding new FreeBSD kernel or library functionality, adding FreeBSD support to existing daemons, etc.).

The FreeBSD Foundation''s laptop support project started with a focus on drivers and low-level things. We've made good progress there and are now starting to look at a roadmap for effort further up the stack.
in reply to Ed Maste

That's fantastic! I've got many friends in the FreeBSD space (especially @kdedude who is 💯) and I want to see KDE Plasma be the premier experience for BSDs.

(Don't tell anyone, but I occasionally fool around with FreeBSD for funsies! 😜)

FreeBSD has come a long way... I can easily get something up that works, which is way better than back when I first tried it over a decade ago. Y'all are doing awesome work!

Still would like a SimpleDRM equivalent though. 😉
