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

At-risk butterflies more likely to survive with human help | Some of the butterflies most in danger of fluttering out of existence fare better when their habitats are actively managed by humans, a WSU-led study found. byteseu.com/394613/ #Science


La #techno è una #costruzione #meticcia. Nasce da giovani neri di #Detroit che amavano la cultura nera (funk, soul, r&b, gospel), ma che impazzivano per l'elettronica bianca europea (kraftwerk e depeche mode in primis).
Essi trovarono una #sintesi geniale tra il suono strumentale delle big band e l'euro-techno-pop algido di metà anni settanta e dei primi anni ottanta. Per questo non può esistere purezza techno, sarebbe un controsenso. L'identitarismo è una brutta bestia.


"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."

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
in reply to Vagina Museum

Throughout history, menopause has been almost completely invisible. In the 19th century, we saw a shift in paradigm. Suddenly people were talking about it - and those people were doctors. It began to emerge as a problem which could be solved with the right medicine.

We could even tell you the name of the man who invented the word "menopause", where previously there had been no name for the common life event (Charles-Pierre-Louis de Gardanne, a student doctor in 1821).

in reply to Vagina Museum

Things are starting to change. Celebrities are speaking out. Brands are jumping on the bandwagon. But where's menopause in the cultural sphere? Where's the art and the literature? Menopause: What's Changed will bring together the burgeoning cultural space around menopause. We're carving out space to knit together a tapestry of rich experiences, and making a space to create.

But we need your help to do this. Any donation helps smash the silence and erasure gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

in reply to Vagina Museum

Oh wow.

Donated! I couldn't match the thousand quid one that was up at the top of your "recents" list (congrats!) but love the cause. Hope there's some virtual component as this gets developed, as I'm in North America.

You might be interested to know that both the Welsh language soap operas, Pobol y Cwm and Rownd a Rownd, have run perimenopause storylines this year.

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.”

@kimlockhartga Yeah, I just think they sound dumb and don't correct them because I have no interest in helping them sound less dumb. Go for it weirdos.

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
