Seeing the full URL is a "Developer" option in the Gnome Web browser (FKA Epiphany). Otherwise you just get the TLD + domain. 🤷

I think that every GUI tool that in some way edits files should have a way to "reveal this file in file browser".

Parallel to my exhibition a great show by my students "Remembered. Not Real" is on view at City Gallery Sindelfingen.

It is elegant, funny and touching. I am very proud of it!

Maybe you will find time to see it!

I'm glad to announce there will be another edition of the Tunnel intensive training running from August 3-6.

Sign up if you'd like to learn system administration fundamentals while building up your own very private, sovereign, fast and diversely flexible VPN, running on geothermal energy in Iceland.

Generate dozens of free configs, and give them to fam, friends, colleagues.

Participants are fully supported. No prior experience needed.

After a great opening of my early retrospective (as the curator of the exhibition calls it) I'm here to invite you to the artist talk I will give tomorrow July 2 at 19:00 at https://galerie-sindelfingen.de/
The gallery will be open longer, so you can see both shows, mine and "Remembered. Not Real" by my students!

What I like about huge soccer championships is that some high profile players will release new branded granola bars that I can try.

My timeline (which contains a lot of project leaders/sysadmins from big projects) is filling with posts about a new, ongoing wave of what most likely are scrapers collecting training data for „AI“ companies. They seem to be using botnets (or what some call „residential IP proxies“ to make it sound a bit more legitimate) with millions of IP addresses, making it really hard to defend against. Some have decided to take their sites down until this is over. This is now the world we live in :(

I am currently reading this wonderful book “Velvetyne Saved My Life”, and you should too, if you are interested in any of those subjects: type design, graphic design, free software, experimental design, collective creation… I have been part of the collective @velvetyne for 10 years and reading this book makes me very emotional. I guess you will react to this book differently, but I am sure you’ll love it. Buy it online or come to the Paris or Brussels launch!

Unvalued Goose Game

Everyone's using MS Word, but hardly anybody can actually use it. Folks format their headings manually, manually mark their edits in some random color instead of tracking changes, chat in the document body, manually write captions under images, I've even seen manually inserted page numbers and footnotes. I don't blame anyone, Word is totally overpowered for most people. Clearly shows that Etherpad's feature set is more than enough for 99% of documents.

Air Spoons, my first track released on #subvert! It has been told that it can lower down to 3°C where your body is. I hope you’ll like it.

SPREAD THE CODE

Sehr richtig, @maxschrems: „Cookie Banner sind keine Erfindung des Datenschutzes, sondern der Tracking-Industrie. Ohne Einwilligung gibt es kein Online-Schnüffeln. Jetzt hat man Angst, dass eine einfachere Möglichkeit, 'Ja' oder 'Nein' zu sagen, Umsatzeinbußen bei Google und Co zur Folge hat. Daher lobbyiert die Tracking-Industrie gerade was das Zeug hält, um den Cookie-Banner zu behalten. Offensichtlich will sie weiterhin die Möglichkeit, den Willen der Nutzer:innen direkt zu manipulieren.“

https://noyb.eu/de/eu-member-states-and-google-suddenly-want-keep-cookie-banners

Die Grundrechte der Internet-Nutzerinnen und -Nutzer steht der Online-Werbung nicht im Wege. Aber sie die Grundrechte gehen eben vor den Rechten der Werbeindustrie, uns alle auszuspionieren.

The problem of shady and bad banners would go away almost overnight if states decided to start enforcing GDPR.
