Tweet by Molly White @molly0xFFF it's always fascinating to watch grown adults discover the concept of public libraries for the first time Quoted tweet by Ken Herman @kherman Ponderable? And do free people expect to read every book they want to read for free (at public expense)? After all, many people who write and produce the books do expect a return on their effort and investment. Just a thought.
Tweet thread: Molly White @molly0xFFF 37m and when you decide to defund libraries because "people who can afford it can just buy the books", you restrict access to those who can't afford it Ken Herman @kherman 21m How about if we use those tax dollars to buy the books for those who can't afford them? Molly White @molly0xFFF congratulations! you have just invented libraries

every damn time

I created a crib sheet for the #Helix text editor:

bobulous.org.uk/coding/Helix-c

Best viewed on a big screen.

As usual I intended the new page to be compact and concise; and as usual it ended up being huge and rambling. Hopefully it'll still be of use to people who aren't fully familiar with the most useful keys and commands. (And just maybe of vague interest to #Neovim users who are thinking about trying Helix.)

Let me know if you spot anything incorrect.

Habe kürzlich bei #nd von dem "Linken Newsaggregator #Alerta" gelesen: https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1189724.linke-medien-app-linke-vielfalt-auf-dem-handy.html

Die Idee zur APP ist grundsätzlich cool, insbesondere da es linke, unabhängige Medien eine Plattform gibt. Das ganze scheint mehr oder minder auf #RSS Feeds zu basieren, also offene Schnittstellen nutzt und nicht Algorithmus getrieben ist. Die Auswahl linker Medien ist dabei ebenfalls recht umfassend! Ich habe sogar einige neue Blogs & Organisationen entdeckt.

Schade hingegen: die App ist voll von Tracking (u.a. Meta/Facebook & Google: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/de.alerta_app.alerta/latest/

Eine IMO bessere Variante der App: ein handelsüblicher RSS Reader (für #Android z.B. Feeder), der dann selbst mit linken Medien gefüllt wird. Man kann sich hier durchaus von der Alerta-Liste inspirieren lassen, denn die Auswahl ist echt gut. Aber darüber hinaus kann man dann auch beliebig andere (auch englischsprachige News, die in Alberta fehlen) hinzufügen. Und das absolut Tracking- und Werbefrei.

Dear Echo Customer, We are reaching out to let you know that the Alexa feature 'Do Not Send Voice Recordings' that you enabled on your supported Echo device(s) will no longer be available beginning March 28th, 2025. This feature allowed compatible Echo devices to process the audio of Alexa requests locally on device. As we continue to expand Alexa’s capabilities with generative AI features that rely on the processing power of Amazon’s secure cloud, we have decided to no longer support this feature. If you do not take action, your Alexa Settings will automatically be updated to ‘Don’t save recordings.’ This means that, starting on March 28th, your voice recordings will be sent to and processed in the cloud, and they will be deleted after Alexa processes your requests. Any previously saved voice recordings will also be deleted. If your voice recordings setting is updated to ‘Don’t save recordings,’ voice ID will not work and you will not be able to create a voice ID for individual users to access more personalized features. If you do not want to set your voice recordings setting to ‘Don’t save recordings,’ please follow these steps before March 28th: 1. Open the Alexa App on your Mobile Phone 2. Go to Settings > Device Settings and select the device where this feature is enabled 3. Select 'Do Not Send Voice Recordings' from the menu 4. Disable the setting

Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.

I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:

1. Unplug Echo Device
2. Throw Echo Device in Trash
3. Done

Da sind sie, die Grünen, die ich im Wahlkampf vermisst habe. (Und die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen. Habt Ihr schon gehört, was die AfD zum Finanzpaket denkt? Genau, ich auch nicht, weil es auch scheißegal ist.) tagesschau.de/inland/innenpoli

Microsoft 365.
Alle Daten verbleiben in Europa!!
Cool.
Auf meine Nachfrage:
Können die in Europa liegenden Daten in Europa analysiert werden und das ERGEBNIS dann in die USA übermittelt werden?

"Ja, das ist nicht verboten und wird vermutlich auch gemacht."

Ich habe keine weiteren Fragen zu #M365

Tonight, we had a #Saarland classic: Schaales (the term "Dibbelappes" is more common, but I prefer the former and where I am from, there is indeed a difference between both dishes). Here with leek, smoked tofu chunks and of course applesauce #vegan

Image description: a black plate with a crusty potatoe dish, called "Schaales" with some applesauce on the side. In the background is another staple of the Saarland kitchen: a botrle of Maggi.

‪Wenn ein Milliardär hunderte Millionen abgibt, ändert sich sein Lebensstandard einfach gar nicht. Trotzdem hinterziehen sie jedes Jahr 100 Milliarden.

Aber wenn man Bürgergeldempfänger*innen 10€ nimmt, haben sie am Ende des Monats vielleicht nichts mehr zu essen. Bürgergeld-"Betrug" kostet uns darum auch fast nix.

Tax the rich.

Picture of an old Amazon Kindle (pre Paperwhite) displaying a screen indicating that a JailBreak is in progress.

PSA: There seems to be a host of stable #kindle #jailbreak s out there. If you, like me, have an older Kindle lying around, don't let it connect to Amazon for the latest firmware updates. Instead, head over to kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking and follow the instructions.

Only took a few minutes in my case :3
