"[Wir brauchen] in Deutschland eine Tech-Alphabetisierung von der Schule, über die Politik, bis hin zur Verwaltung. Dabei können wir von einer aktiven, großen und kritischen Open-Source-Community lernen, wie sich Technologien auch kollektiv und dezentral umsetzen lassen.", meint Maja-Lee Voigt im Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

Sometimes dealing with variables in OpenSCAD is not easy (since you cannot change the value of a variable) and sometimes it's pain in the ass, but sometimes you figure out how to make it all work for you despite the limitations and that's a good feeling.

With the storm-battered Southeast bracing for another massive hurricane and the hyperpartisan election just four weeks away, government officials and rescue workers aren’t just battling the elements, they’re fighting against a spiraling misinformation war.

Did you know that #GIMP's maintainers @zemarmot produce animation films for a living? If possible Libre Art movies. One of them was "What is the Fediverse?", commissioned by @Framasoft, which you may have watched around here!

Cool to see it modified by other langs' communities (TY #ccbysa license) e.g. in Italian (note: we don't speak Italian, just assuming it's a good translation 😃) by @artofstimart peertube.uno/w/qKHxZYjWP8m1DrG…

Of course #MadeWithGIMP!

Don't be sorry for your English, it's good, and we manage to understand each other which is what matters 👍. Also English is not the universal language.

Thanks for your dubbing! 😄

P.S.: I'm not a native speaker as well!



The best laptop deals we found for Amazon Prime Day

There are some decent deals on Windows laptops and MacBooks, with more on offer if you extend your search to Best Buy’s sale.



For a company that has spent years talking about how important the "Open Web" is, this is some petty bullshit.

Two little business bros couldn't work their shit out like adults and now it's everybody's problem.

Pathetic.

Finally got Mellie the long bath she needed.


I have been giving her quick shower to keep her clean, but I finally got her into the bathtub and gave he a full scrubby bath. She pretends she doesn't like it, but after the bath she was so happy and playful and of course hungry.

She finished a whole bowl of her food with added sausage and tomatoes and a spoon of my tomato sauce to trick her so she is satisfied with eating the same food as I am.

With belly full and tired from shower, she is back in her bed sleeping on her clean sheets.

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

in reply to Low Quality Facts

considering there are only 10 million accounts on this app, that was very ambitious of you.

Just weeks ago Rep. Anna Paulina Luna voted against a bill that provided $20 billion for federal emergency funds. Now she wants the money. #Helene #Milton #Climate crooksandliars.com/2024/10/cre…



Can anybody write a #phpunit test asserting we get 2 exceptions here: github.com/doctrine/orm/pull/1… ?
This entry was edited (1 year ago)
in reply to Hypolite Petovan

@hypolite if there's an exception, there is no return value because it blows up before the function even gets a chance to return. A piece of code that would be equivalent IMO would be a try catch inside a catch that would attach one exception to the other (or rather, one chain of exceptions to the other) before rethrowing.
in reply to greg0ire

@greg0ire :doctrine: Right, I see what you mean now, without a catch block it will still interrupt the flow when an exception is thrown. Phew!

Cool OpenStreetMap data editing statistics comparing Organic Maps and Maps.Me: github.com/orgs/organicmaps/di…
in reply to Organic Maps

A FAQ or another way to exchange informations.

Right now, I have a set of gpx tracks that I've got with another tool. I can are them with Organic Maps. They are shown, but I've seen no way to get rid of them.

in reply to 0x1de

@0x1de Open bookmarks and tracks dialog and either delete tracks or hide them using an eye icon.



Re-reading @scalzi's Being Poor while I listen to Tampa's mayor telling her citizens that the price of choosing to stay in an evacuation area will be death, as though everyone has that choice.

That piece is the most real thing @scalzi has ever written.

(Not disparaging his other work, saying that piece is 🔥 )



A social media video said that FEMA blocked a South Carolina airport’s runway to stop flights from carrying supplies to North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene victims nearby. Flight organizers and an airport spokesperson said that’s not true.
