  • Eurovision 2026: EBU Explains New Details of How Voting in the Eurovision Song Contest Works

  • You're clearly caring enough that you've felt the need to comment about it in the EUROVISION community

  • 🇪🇺 German political parties leave X, say platform “descended into chaos”

    Jump

  • Two of the three parties have set up their own Mastodon instances years ago (grüne.social and social.linksfraktion.de respectively).

    The Left is also present at @dielinke@mastodon.social

    And even high ranking SPD politicians are active on the Fediverse (@eskensaskia@mastodon.social for example)

    They are going to be present on closed platforms, because like it or not (and for the record I don't) that's where a large part of voters is, but the Fediverse plays an active part in their social media strategies.

  • Apple’s AirPods with cameras for AI are apparently close to production

    Jump

  • I'm fairly sure it can, but that's default behaviour over there, similar to how Mastodon and X/Twitter work.

  • Orion isn't Chromium based. It's based on WebKit. Chromium uses a WebKit-fork called Blink, that's diverged quite a bit from its origins

  • Dee, a new Lemmy client for SailfishOS

    Jump

  • Link works for me.

    This client won't work on your Pixel because Sailfish hasn't been ported to that device.

    That being said Voyager is usable as a web app and !thunder_app@lemmy.world is written in flutter so you should be able to built it for arm-Linux and use it on Postmarket OS.

  • Hotel has extra fees? Well then...

    Jump

  • If you are talking about North America, then that might be true. But a lot of other countries have extensive train systems where even ruraler places are well connected. Add hotels close to bike trails and you've got two two examples of people not necessarily arriving by car.

  • Why the EU is Ditching WhatsApp

    Jump

  • Sure, technically it's a replacement for a bunch of services. But from a institutional perspective you wouldn't use Signal in the first place, just like you wouldn't use WhatsApp. You want closed (as in no open participation not as closed source) systems where only employees can send messages in the first place. Traditionally you would use Slack or MS Teams for that.

    That doesn't mean that your employees wouldn't use WhatsApp or Signal anyway and having a convenient alternative might curb that use.

  • Why the EU is Ditching WhatsApp

    Jump
    1. A lot of the solutions are based on standards that already include E2E. The French and German platforms for example are just rebranded Matrix.
    2. the platforms are not intended for civilian communication. The video is a bit misleading when it talks about WhatsApp alternatives. A more accurate description would be "Slack alternative": A communications platform for government workers to message each other, so that potentially sensitive data isn't stored on 3rd party servers.

  • Mastodon will get end-to-end encryption for private messages thanks to Sovereign Tech Agency

    Jump

  • Nice to see (some of) my taxes going to improving the Fediverse.

    The Sovereign Tech Agency (previously Sovereign Tech Fund) is an organisation set up by the German government to fund critical open source projects. Mastodon receiving funds therefore means that the German government considers the Fediverse critical infrastructure.

  • What happens in GNOME when I close the program's window?

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that this will only work with apps that support the appropriate xdg-portal (eg flatpaks) other apps might not show up there, despite running in the background.

  • Nice to see that my translations made it into the latest update. One thing I noticed while translating: I couldn't properly translate time related strings into German without running into grammar issues. The correct translation for "5 min ago" would be "vor 5 Min". The number moves from the beginning into the center of the string, which isn't possible in your current setup.

    Now for some more general feedback: I have been thinking about how to structure the UI of the app. Currently you're just throwing every menu option into the pulley menu. That means this one menu contains both navigation items and actions for the current view which I generally consider suboptimal UX. I'm sure this is just temporary while you are working on features and you have ideas how to restructure the central navigation. But I want to give one option of how you could possibly restructure the UI to clean up the UX nonetheless. I'm aware that this is a big change to the app, so see it as merely an impulse.

    SFOS has generally speaking two forms of main navigation menu: The menu page, which is what quickddit for example uses, and tabs. I have chosen the latter option for this concept:

    The pulley would contain the options to change the feed between subscription, local and all, as well as the already existing options to refresh. But all options should relate to the feed.

    The search tab could double as the list of your subscribed to communities:

    As soon as you tap on the search field the list would disappear and make way for the search results.

    Again just a couple of ideas of how to guide the user a bit more.
