Yay, Denmark reached the threshold as third country. Next up: Belgium. Four countries and a bit more than 700k signatures to go. We have less than a month left!

EU citizens, take action to help keep Free Software funded!
Jos' says "I want you to fill in this form! End of talk." ;) #akademy2024
@kdedude@fosstodon.org couldn't quite help notice what Dennis mentioned as well, we don't really have six months of personal tutoring per enthusiastic novice to teach them an llm won't write code for them if they don't already know what the code should do...
@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social that sounds like something a true hero would say! Hmm... ;) (but for real, you do do that guide thing good :) )
@icefoxx merr vixmas! :>
@kde so happy to see tuosbhappening, and thank you for pushing on it! :)

Calligra 4.0 is out! Aside from the complete port to Qt6/KF6, this release contains a new sidebar design, updated dialogs, better Wayland compatibility and more.

@Jencen that's not usually where they attach, but... why not there as well, I guess? ;)
@twll wait, when did you become a nisse from the julekalender?! ;)

Dear "concerned liberals," a word if I may - as you're watching the overwhelming public response to defend English communities from fascist rioters, please pay close attention:
When a metric fuckton of antifascists and antiracists show up, and the fash don't? The end result is hugs and a street party.
When violent fascist mobs show up, and community defenders don't, the end result is fear, violence, and arson.
Please consider this the next time you insist "both sides" are to blame.

If you hurt an introvert, they don't retaliate, they just drift away. Missed texts, unanswered calls, cancelled plans. They don't want conflict. No stress. No headaches. They just want peace. And they have absolutely no intention of hurting you. They just go away. Quietly.
@irina can confirm that it's a thing, but I have absolutely no idea of the origins. I assume some variant of a folk tale, but that's entirely a guess :)

As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.
To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

uspol, furries, kink, Elon Musk, the world is a joke
Elon Musk was kicked out of the Bay Area Babyfur community.
Much respect to the furries for recognizing how much of a toxic piece of shit Elon is, and giving him no quarter. Even if this may have led to him acquiring twitter so that he could avoid being kicked out, it really shows the power of furry communities to maintain a healthy environment.

@the_gneech oh hey, is this a good time to ask about year two, then? ;)
Oh dear! While i was up in Yorkshire finishing off putting down a floor, CIG decided to launch a free-fly event for #starcitizen and because i was busy thinking about that floor, i missed doing my usual writeup ;) But!
