Firefish is going away. What's notable, to me is how common the things in Naskya's goodbye message are for #OpenSource maintainers of popular things: no help for maintenance, or future features, abuse because some devs think it's ok to threaten & insult maintainers when they don't like something about their FREE software.

Open Source Maintainers are people. They need help, support, and respect if you want them to be able to keep making the thing you want them to make.

Und noch einmal was zu Nemo: Das Menü lässt sich über Bearbeiten/Einstellungen/Werkzeugleiste anpassen.
Hilfreich finde ich "Im Terminal öffnen" - damit wird der aktuelle Ordner im Terminal geöffnet.

(Klappt natürlich auch über das Kontextmenü - aber wenn man einen Klick sparen kann ... ;-) ).

I still #AmReading Madhulika Liddle's "An Unholy Drought" and this comment from one of the characters shows the writer having fun with history.

"Perhaps, a hundred years from now, no one will even remember the name of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar"

Not one hundred years later, but nearly FIVE hundred years later, Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar is of course, well remembered. As in this catchy panegyric from Jodhaa Akbar

Les pluies historiques au #Niger causent l'effondrement de la plus ancienne mosquée de Zinder.

Du fait du réchauffement climatique, certaines zones du Sahara ont reçu l'équivalent de plusieurs années de pluie en quelques heures.

"For the past week [Trump] has been telling a story about a residential building in Colorado taken over by a gang from Venezuela. But it appears the story is entirely made up. Similarly, Trump on Friday said at a right-wing Moms for Liberty event that public schools in America kidnap children and operate on them to change their sex."

@MoiraEve Thank you. I'm glad to know it was helpful.



We have raised almost £15,000 in our campaign to fund our menopause exhibition when arts and heritage funders will not. Will you join more than 300 people in creating the cultural space around menopause that's been missing for millennia? gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

@KamalaHarrisWin For those wishing to not give the NY Times their clicks or eyeballs, Lichtman's model predicts a Harris victory.

GOP slur. “Democrat” is a noun, “Democratic” is an adjective.

“Sen Joseph McCarthy helped popularize the term.

Over the decades, Democratic party became assoc w liberal policies, & eventually, “the ‘Democrat party’ slur became condemnation of liberalism itself”..Phrase was huge hit in 90s & 2000s; Gingrich, Limbaugh & GW Bush played it on repeat. By following decade, Trump was mandating the word: “The Democrat party. Not Democratic. It’s Democrat. We have to do that.”

I was convinced St. Joe was awful, but didn’t realize how evil until listening to Rachel Maddow’s Ultra season 2.

Appalling we don’t teach that history as a cautionary tale about the frailty of democracy.

I feel this will become more of a problem as time goes on and C devs that are stuck in their ways and unable/unwilling to work with other tech will cause Linux to loose quality developers for other, possibly upcoming OSs, like Redox




Some people say antizionism is antisemitism. Oddly, some of them also say antisemitism is zionism - like that's a good thing.


Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):

- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...'
- [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases'
- 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'

@noam @koen_hufkens I agree as a socialist, but I don't think these are mutually exclusive. If it helps convince people that aren't marxists (yet!?) that capitalism is the problem, I'm for it. We're all working towards the same goal. And I think we marxists can learn stuff from them too (like shifting away from a productivist mindset that sometimes dominates within its circles).
in reply to A.A. Delafin, radical

@mysteriarch @noam @koen_hufkens I agree with that, and having the research on sustainability available will be useful when the conditions for trying these ideas come around.

I'm definitely not opposed to more research in this area, I just think we need to be clear on what the core problem we're facing is.

Barnier, un "homme de consensus à Matignon" selon Le Monde. On rêve.
