Always appreciate any work spent on any FOSS stuff out there but currently I’m a bit afraid that Gecko disappears into unimportance. So I’d prefer more contributions towards that one project rather than opening new ones.

The issue with browser engines is that it always requires work from two directions. The browser engine must be optimized to render websites as good as possible. And websites must be optimized to be rendered by all the different browser engines.

And (almost) no one is willing to do the latter for engines with a <1% market share. Already now, more and more commercial and non-commercial websites are only working properly with Chrome or its derivates.

I have ‘night mode’ and ‘extra dark’ in my quick settings right below the slider. If I can get rid of one or both with an updated slider that’d be a great improvement. Never understood why smartphones are so super bright by default.

Moien Letzebuerg!

I am far away from being a pro and own several Bosch Blue tools that were all rather cheap. You can buy them in every hardware store. Fein, Hilti etc. are usually far more expensive. As I don’t own them, I can’t compare the quality but I’d say Bosch Blue is mostly a consumer brand.

I have no clue what that standard certifies but I was able to find several such phones immediately on the German Amazon like this one for 140€ (around $150 right now) from a brand that I never heard of.

Is that a protected term where you live? In Germany a lot of products, including the cheapest and crappiest ones, are advertised as military grade and that doesn’t give any indication on quality or durability.

e.g.

If someone offers the slimmest phone, I have some doubts regarding structural integrity. Especially, the way I (unintentionally) often treat my phone, it’ll probably bend or break within weeks.

I think FreeCad is a great tool once you overcame the initial issues. I think it’s not as user friendly as commercial tools but I think that’s a general issue with smaller projects that don’t have billions of funding.

If you want to support a FOSS alternative, you could engage to make FreeCad better. Make tutorials, report bugs, update the documentation, help with translations, help users on the cmvarious forums and platforms or simply throw in a few bugs for the developers. :)

“Kontact” as a mixture of German “Kontakt” and English “contact”

Then, a link to the debian homepage.

The firewall toggle via desktop icons.

Change admin password.

Manual antivirus.

Zip drive and floppy disk.

Then Open Office.

That’s a wild set of shortcuts on that desktop! :D

If it’s just for one movie, wouldn’t the easiest option to play it and screen record it?

Really cool project! But you really missed the chance to integrate a tiny hidden runnel right into your house to sneak in and out.

(Or you hid it really well ;))

I use Mull on Android and so far I’m satisfied with it.

The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.

I agree you can’t see one’s gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias (‘women code better/worse than men’), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn’t impact one’s bias.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Seems like a wild idea as… a) it poisons the data not only for AI but also real users like me (I swear I’m not a bot :D). b) if this approach is used more widely, AIs will learn very fast to identify and ignore such non-sense links and probably much faster than real humans.

It sounds like a similar concept as captchas which annoy real people, yet fail to block out bots.

Thank you. Unfortunately, your link doesn’t work either - it just leads to the creative commons information). Maybe it’s an issue with Firefox Mobile and Adblockers. I’ll check it out later on a PC.

Anyone found the specific numbers of acceptance rate with in comparison to no knowledge of the gender?

On researchgate I only found the abstract and a chart that doesn’t indicate exactly which numbers are shown.

edit:

Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.

edit²:

I’m not sure if I like the method of disclosing people’s gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.

So it’s not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.

And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).

Air-water heatpumps are far more efficient than air-air! ;)

Not sure if it’s just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits…
