It is my personal and professional opinion, not to fund or further trust the Starkey Development.
I am out 1,000 bucks and that is my own doing. My fault. My stupidity.
But the development may be toxic with some not so nice individuals. The software, I like. You're likely using the software too (It's good, isn't it? I think so). But I do believe there are some toxic people you may not want to be associated within the development.

Gente, uma leitora do @ideiasdechirico mandou uma mensagem por #email perguntando se não teria condições de eu lançar as novas postagens via e-mail, como uma #newsletter.
A primeira solução que me veio à mente seria fazer uma newsletter a partir do feed #RSS. Já vi algumas soluções para isso, no entanto são serviços pagos. Alguém sabe sem tem alguma solução para isso que seja #FOSS ― de código aberto e gratuito ?
Por favor, !

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.
Uau. Muito importante e fantástico. Eu adoro o. #fediverso
Feito pela estupenda @Framasoft. Quem não conhece, tb merece uma visita. Trabalho incrível com #softwareLivre #privacidade e muito mais.
"Acabei de descobrir esta ótima ferramenta para o PeerTube chamada Sepia Search. É um mecanismo de pesquisa que indexa as instâncias do PeerTube em um só lugar.
Eu tentei e imediatamente encontrei meus vídeos com frases-chave lógicas. E é super rápido. Ele também permite a filtragem por vídeo, canal e lista de reprodução.
The #FreeSoftware movement is fundamentally a political movement advocating for folks' freedoms.
To say that politics have no place in the Free Software movement is to say that the Free Software movement shouldn't exist.
But it's an attractive line to those looking to exploit the #FOSS software that the movement produces while subverting the movement itself.
On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:

Minha singela contribuição pro #tersoftware de hoje é a extensão do Gnome chamada Cronomix.
Ela permite que você adicione na barra do Gnome, funcionalidades como alarme, cronômetro, pomodoro e uma lista de tarefas que você pode editar com Markdown.
É simples, mas me agrada.

About 6000 posts in and half or so year spent on this platform, I have decided to change my introduction to be less riddled with hastags and reflect me in a light where I’m more comfortable here :)
Well, let’s begin.
I’m Arija A., more commonly known as Ari Archer and welcome to my corner on the Fediverse where I screech autistic ramblings into your ear until I get tired :)
I am an autistic & transgender 17-year-old avid open source developer as well as a wannabe systems administrator coming from Lithuania who has spent more than half her life bossing computers around :’) currently I’m mainly focusing on the C and Python programming languages as well as some FASM Assembly here and there whereever applicable, though I don’t have much to show when it comes to extremely low level programming, I can do it when needed, but am in no way an expert. My fiery passion for technology is deeply intertwined with my values of democracy, freedom, shareability, and customization.
Personally, I enjoy solving practical problems, although, that doesn’t mean I like to be a number processing machine 24/7 like people like to think. I find those problems exhausting and extremely boring, sadly, it is currently my fate at school since the education system doesn’t have much to offer for people beyond the programme :( I tend to be very dissatisfied with governments and government stated overstructured and outdated systems such as the education and legal systems, I don’t believe that I identify with the label “anarchist” but more of “politicians need a reality check and I can’t believe that people can be this stupid sometimes” xD, of course, it’s not all bad, but sometimes it’s oof.
Most of my work centres around libraries, back-end web development, as well as software and tools. You may find most of my work at https://ari.lt/gh (a dynamic redirect to the main place where I house most of my code currently, should be https://git.ari.lt/ari unless something bad happened to ari-web infrastructure and if so then you shouldn’t be seeing this post in the first place ).
Contacts and more about me can be found on my website at https://ari.lt/
Anyway, uh, follow me for brainrot :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The kids wanted to play Minecraft together and I nearly flipped tables after dealing with the launcher/ M$ account shit etc. for 2 minutes. 🤯 Just NO. But.. It took me 5 minutes to learn Minetest / Luanti exists, download and run two copies, create a LAN game on one notebook and join it on another. Great experience.. zero bullshit - just a folder with the game files, a client.exe - Zen! 😌 Thanks to @Luanti and all the people working on this! 💙

“A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech”
https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-new-way-to-describe-the-fediverse-and-its-opposition-to-big-tech/
I think I may have finally found a way to explain the Fediverse and make it appealing to people not familiar with it - a very Italian, highly accessible way to frame it, via an analogy that anyone could understand.

Hey fedi,
I look for a self hosted music streaming server
allowing downloads
allowing uploads by users
shared playlists and private playlists
usable when offline
Some hot takes (not my opinions per se)
#FOSS ..
- software has eaten the world
- is input for corporations to thrive
- helps keep capitalism going strong
From perspective of creators, FOSS ..
- is inherently unsustainable
- is for hobbyists and privileged folks
- is for people who sacrifice themself
- is for volunteers, not for income
- is for burnout by lack of timely help
FOSS open ecosystem collab ..
- what happens happens 🤷
Commons-owned open standards ..
- fire, explode, repeat
I think my basic RSS feed creator is feature complete, only supports Linux for now.
I uh, just need to figure out where to put the source code. I don't like the idea of using Microsoft's Github but I'm worried if I put projects on some other place, no one would find them.
I'm a hobbyist who has only done gamedev before, so if anyone wants to chime in on where is best place for putting source code, plz help.

Is there a free to relatively cheap way to do audio-to-text transcription? Currently, I use otter.ai, but it has a limit of 30 minutes per recording in the free plan. Though I love it, my current usage is infrequent and doesn't justify a pro subscription.
It doesn't have to be a real-time transcription. I can record and batch transcribe using a standalone, web, or mobile app. Thank!

Esse site é mto legalzinho. Na época da faculdade eu ficava horas viajando nos textos deles. E tem algumas coisas bem interessantes, tipo um texto ensinando elementos da Bauhaus usando softwares livres de design.
@cafe fala grupo!
fiquei de dar um retorno sobre uma sugestão de app pra escrever roteiro, então segue o link!
https://kitscenarist.ru/en/index.html
Ele se chama Kit Scenarist, é um software livre com versão pra vários SOs. Já usei ele pra alguns projetinhos bem amadoramente, mas gostei das funcionalidades. Ele até tem um recurso pra várias pessoas trabalharem no mesmo projeto online, mas acho que é um recurso pago.
O que é novidade pra mim é que o dev ta com esse projeto novo chamado Story Architect, que da pra baixar e testar ali na página do link mesmo. Parece bem moderno, mas não testei ainda.
Espero que seja útil pra alguém!
