  RE: https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/116692442759060802 Wonderful reporting by @404mediaco . I recommend watching the video they link to. It is delicious; tastes almost like #AI-using lawyers facing accountability.

  **@小明@範例.測試, or, Fediverse handles in every language** is the proposal I just submitted to @COSCUP . Abstract: A person's handle is their name and address on the Fediverse. But despite people on using the Fediverse in many languages from all over the world, almost all handles are limited to Latin script letters and numbers: **@somebody@example.com** . Instead, people should be able to use a handle in their own language and characters, e.g. **@小明@範例.測試** or **@김@예시.테스트**. We call this &a...

  I want some generic human names to use as examples in a talk. For English, I would use Jane, John, Alice, Bob, Pat, Kim, etc. What are similar common, generic names in 繁體字 , 简化字 , 한글 , 和文 , อักษรไทย , देवनागरी , and other non-Latin scripts? #i18n #GloballyInclusive #Fediverse @COSCUP

  @hongminhee@hollo.social @liaizon@social.wake.st @Edent@mastodon.social @north@xn--8r9a.com @Profpatsch@mastodon.xyz (1/3) Report back from #FediForum last week. Held a good session on #GloballyInclusive handles. Just a few attendees, but one knew the technical issues deeply and was well connected to ActivityPub design. Session notes will likely appear at https://fediforum.org/topics/#topic-internationalization in a few weeks. For now, here is a summary: #i18n #GloballyInclusiveFediverse #...

  @libreoffice Thank you for the 26.2.2 release! However, there is a broken link on the https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ page: the macOS AArch64 link reads "LibreOffice_26.2.2_MacOS_aarch64.dmg.msi.torrent", but no such file exists. The link should read "LibreOffice_26.2.2_MacOS_aarch64.dmg.torrent".

  Terence @Edent@mastodon.social, Jason @north@xn--8r9a.com, Hong @hongminhee@hollo.social, I appreciate your steps in #i18n for #FediVerse. Do you plan to attend #FediForum next week (28-30 April, 15-20h UTC)? I will propose a session on "#Globally-inclusive Fediverse handles". If you were present, it would improve the session. I think Philip Patsch @Profpatsch@mastodon.xyz will demo too. https://fediforum.org/2026-04/ #UniversalAcceptance #Multilingual

  @gunchleoc@mastodon.scot @ChristineMalec@mstdn.ca > A PDF with the score, but it's a paid download, so I have no idea how accessible the content is: https://imslp.org/wiki/Kantate_auf_Maria_Theresia_von_Paradis_(Kozeluch,_Leopold) That is a free download, but the site makes one wait a few seconds before the download proceeds. The score itself is in the public domain (in Canada, probably worldwide). The resulting PDF contains 15 pages of images of scanned pages. There are no text obje...
