Feels good to remove Google Pay from my mobile device. I only used it for loyalty cards, and I found a lovely replacement, Catima, that is available on @fdroidorg.

Hey guys, just a little update: this still hasn't changed.

Help them on #liberapay!

Can some Linux/GNU genius please explain to me why?

Installing Solus OS Gnome from live USB.

-Install
-Reboot
-Black screen, blinking cursor
-Ctrl+Alt+F3
-Login to TTY
-Type systemctl stop gdm.service
-Type systemctl start gdm.service

And everything boots fine again.

I open a web browser on Mac and what do I see... a sticky notification.

#Microsoft and #Windows gets a lot of grief for pushing #Edge but nobody gives a fuck when #Apple do the same with #Safari.

"Companies that sell consumer electronics such as refrigerators, washers, hairdryers, or TVs in the European Union - and in the UK - will need to ensure those goods can be repaired for up to 10 years."

UK has to follow the same manufacturing rules since it continues to trade with the EU

It only covers appliances, but it's a step in the right direction

In case you missed it, a couple of years ago Mastodon made an animated introduction explaining how it works.

✅ Mastodon's official promo video is available on PeerTube at https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/887e7b95-a6b1-4df1-83fd-d5c47f17ec4c and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPSbNdBmWKE

The same video is also useful for explaining federated networks in general.

@metalune It's not a data breach, it's a surprise backup

I was too frustrated by today's search engines. Therefore, I created a blog post covering my frustration: https://daniel-siepmann.de/broken-internet-search-engines.html

I also tried to add reasons for the frustration and how I try to overcome my frustration.

Maybe you find it an interesting read :)

My company is #hiring again. We do #GreenhouseGas assessments and #environemntal / #ecological #map data.

We need an experienced Python developer, mostly working with Django. GIS or sustainability experience a big plus.

We can hire remotely in Canada and the UK, preferably around EST/UTC-05:00. Salary would be fairly average for a Montreal software job, which is where I am. Ask me and I'll tell you how much I make.

The official #job ad isn't up yet. This is just me putting out feelers.

Is there anyone around with any experience using HDMI capture cards in Linux? I got one that says "Linux compatible" but I'm struggling to get it working.

Bigger picture: I'm trying to make my Nikon D5200 into a webcam.
