#Firefox keep doing weird things lately. Every week there's a new controversy. It should not be trusted anymore.

As I wrote before, it's #Chromium that needs to be completely forked and be used by distros by default (not just soft-forked, as it exists now). It's a faster browser that uses less RAM than Firefox.

Officially being made redundant. Been a long time coming, but haven't been having much success in the current market.

If anybody is on the lookout for a dedicated and passionate Tech Lead / Full-lifecycle Software Developer with 12+ years experience would really appreciate a connection.

Visiblement, chez Steam, on n'a pas super bien pigé le principe de Mastodon…

(EDIT: bon, ceci dit, ça marche si je mets mastodon.social/@ptiloukstudio… mais bon, paie ta dépendance à une instance quand même.)

@bortzmeyer @axx ouais, après si on va part là, dans l'absolu ils pourraient juste mettre des emplacements pour des liens sans restriction de domaine, mais je pense qu'ils veulent se faciliter la modération et éviter de devoir vérifier des liens un par un…


#Gaza #Palestine

Israel said on Tuesday that it has called up four reserve army brigades for missions along the northern border, after announcing the start of a ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“This will allow the continuation of operational activity against the Hezbollah terrorist [sic] organisation and the achievement of operational goals,” said the army, “including the safe return of residents of northern Israel to their homes.”

This #WildlifeWednesday we have a rare and beautiful *checks notes* mallard duck, with the fine buildings of Vienna in the background.

Which creatures in your writing live alongside settled and sapient folks? Generalist feeders who can adapt to the food of settlements, or creatures whose nesting strategies are helped by construction, can be particularly well adapted to urban living.

#Gaza #Palestine

At least 40 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli army raid early Wednesday in the southern Gaza Strip.

A medical source in the Gaza European Hospital told Anadolu that 32 killed Palestinians were brought to the hospital as a result of the Israeli shelling on Palestinians' homes in areas in the eastern part of the city of Khan Younis.

Rescue efforts continue for others who are still missing, the source added.

what will this mean? Will a bunch if Indie games get delisted from Germany?

this is pretty stupid. It should've applied to new games coming out only, not forcing 15 year old games that haven't been updated to get delisted.


I have tried numerous times to get #VSCode (or its derivatives) to work with my #conda environments. It has never worked.

I just tried again, because I found out I could use it similarly as I use #SpyderIDE. As previously, VS Code refuses to recognize conda environments or #Python interpreters installed into these environments, even if the path is explicitly given.

I have also eyed #PulsarIDE, but it doesn't seem to have the same level of support as VS Code, VS Codium and the rest.

I accidentally discovered my “smart” #LG 📺 lets users choose from multiple speech recognition “#AI Services”, including from different companies (if you want to enable such a feature). Is this a core part of Android? If not, it should be (and iOS!) And similarly for virtual assistants, and recommendation algorithms! #DMA

So while considering taking up higher education and going to uni regarding #computing, looking back at some of my consultancy work, I hesitate and wonder if I should go for some other discipline - like chemistry or even electro engineering.

Even though I'd like the idea of a long term contract and a stable job, I think I love #libre and #opensource too much to placate to #corporate interests.

But also, I could be the change I want to see. I wonder if anyone else went through this.



I feel like I do not have a primary #scripting language and I don't like this feeling.

Probably the smartest decision is to embrace that #python is the winner
