Mind you, this still isn't a good excuse to use a Chromium-based browser.
And for all you people using Brave out there, well :corgi_wtf1: 🖕 Brave is run by this guy who hates queer people and believes conspiracy theories about Covid, so maybe don't use his shitty browser that's been caught injecting affiliate links.
Me: Please don't use Chromium-based browsers, use Firefox instead. Google has way too much control over the web because of Chromium and they'll be sure to leverage that in order to benefit themselves.
Chromium: Hey all, we're getting rid of ad-blockers because it's cutting into our record-breaking revenue! I mean, uh, we're deprecating Manifest V2 for, uh, security. Yeah.
Me: See? Please use Firefox. :blobfoxmeltsob:
Mozilla: Hey friends, AI is really cool! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we're making an ads business! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we have a ToS with either the most nefarious or the most incompetent language ever! *steps on rake* Also AI is cool!!!
Me: ... :corgi_wtf1: I hate it here.
My Dearest #lazyweb
Do you know of a non-#elgato program for managing and running a #streamdeck on a microsoft #windows 10 computer? Possibly some #FOSS nerds built one?
I'd like something that treats it more like a #keyboard because I basically use it as a macro pad.
They want me to register for an account to install plugins and select icons outside of the base 3 sets which wasn't mandatory when I got it.
If I have to manage my own jpgs for every button in every folder in a #streamdeckXL their software is simply not suitable.
It doesn't seem that I can even have a button that is "type an #emoji without having to turn the emoji into a jpg and set it as a "wallpaper" for the button (the default layout has an image on each emoji key even).
the "configure streamdeck" app now crashes both the UI and the background service when I launch it from the deck itself
Update: they’ve reportedly reinstated the #antifa hashtag. As well as #noAFD, which was, apparently, also blocked.

Hey FLOSS.social, do you understand that “antifa” stands for “anti fascist?” Do you know what folks who are anti-anti fascist are? That’s right, they’re fascists.
While you’re at it, you might also want to look up what the “F” and the “L” in your name stand for.
If they don’t fix this ASAP, I’d recommend a swift #fediblock by any instance that isn’t fascist.
Important edit:
Meanwhile, the admin responded and clarified the situation. It was a configuration mistake. #antifa was auto blocked because of spam (if I got this correctly?) and #NoAfD basically for the same reason. The latter, however, wasn't resolved that fast because it has never been reported. Which is believable because it's super German specific.

The ever-correct #DailyMail in Devember 2000: "Internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it."
Just like @Mastodon and @pixelfed and @loops and other tools and servers of the #Fediverse "may be just a passing fad" now.
Surely people will return to the billionaires' tools once the fad has passed... right? #FOSS @NGIZero
A big battle on Lemmy about why I prefer Chrome/ium instead of Firefox on the old laptops I rescue from the landfills: https://lemmy.ml/post/24202956/15809331
People need to stop thinking with GNU glasses on, and become more objective. The reality is, Chrome is FASTER and uses less RAM than Firefox. This has a HUGE IMPACT on the desktop experience on OLD Pcs (not on your modern PCs, no).
But noooo... we have to support Firefox no matter what. Cultists.

With the help of @beacondb , I was able to fix geoclue not being able to submit new locations to beaconDB! The MR is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/192
With that fixed, I made a Linux mobile stumbler that works with geoclue to submit data! You can find it here: https://gitlab.com/kop316/geoclue-stumbler
(Note that you'll need that patch for the stumbler to actually submit data).
To all #FOSS supporting people traveling these days: Please consider collecting wireless geolocation information for the #publicdomain #geolocation database #beaconDB.
Check the map via the link above to see how it is filling up with more and more points. Amazing and very interesting to see.

SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS...
After 12 months of managing bugs developers A, B, and C changed their approach.
Whose change is an improvement❓ What's your answer❓
Boosts appreciated! :boost_no: 🙂
More generally, the problem is domain independent.

Someone please help me my migrate away from Google photos to a #FOSS solution that doesn't take hours to set up and won't cost me an arm and a leg 🙏
The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.
Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.
What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.
Public systems should not require use of private services.
Because of the flooding in Austria, I had to delay my return to Belgium (no international trains). While not planned, i could attend #KeyConf and meet a lot of interesting people there.
Hi, feel like promoting #mastodon ? We are going to raid elon Musk’s #centralized #proprietary #twitter #twixxer #x promoting to migrate here. If you feel like promoting the #fediverse against proprietary centralized social media, this is your chance. Feel free to post links below and to boost the ones below :).
Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like #Linux and #LibreOffice – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing:
