To celebrate Mario Day, I'd like to give a shoutout to my most favourite, the most cutest, and most relatable Mario character: Wiggler!
#MarioDay #SuperMarioDay #MAR10
Wigglers are a species of caterpillar-like creatures that were introduced in Super Mario World. They are yellow and move casually while calm, but turn red and angrily run about if jumped on. Wigglers are easily identifiable by their characteristic...Super Mario Wiki
Today is the 69th day of the year.
Nice.

hi there! I've been a fish user for some time now, and I've really been enjoying it. It's a great shell and scripting language and I've preferred it over POSIX shells and bash for a while. I've not...cyrneko (GitHub)
We do release betas more frequently nowadays and we do take our time with the first release so that can lend itself to more betas. In fact, for 2025.1, we got up to TEN betas: nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2025-1b…
And 2024.1 got up to THIRTEEN! nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2024-1b…
(But 2023.1 we only got up to beta 2!)
V dobách pradávných, když jsem se motal kolem překladu Anime, se k "vypalování" titulků používal Aegisub [1], který už ale nikdo neudržuje. SubtitleEdit [2] vypadá podobně...

@brandtsteenkamp NVDA works with Sticky Keys and NVDA's modifier key becomes "sticky" if sticky keys is enabled. The "PC Keyboard Braille Input for PC" add-on has a one handed mode, and the "EasyNavigation" add-on also promises the ability to do everything with one hand.
You can also remap all of NVDA's keystrokes with "Input Gestures": nvaccess.org/post/in-process-2…
Finally, we don't doubt there likely is more we can do, but we don't claim expertise and would welcome suggestions!
Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:

Hundreds of scientists say stop! ✋🚨
Governments should pause plans for mandatory #AgeChecks on online services until serious #privacy and #security concerns are addressed.
As countries push to ban children from social media, the risk to everyone’s privacy is growing. 🔐🌍
👉 Read more on #AgeVerification, why scientist say NO & whether your country wants it: tuta.com/blog/age-verification…
Will the age verification era kill anonymity? As more countries are passing age verification laws, let's take a look at what countries already require it, and for what services, online sites,and social media platforms.Tuta
I once offhandedly told a colleague that our office windows contain a pure vacuum. When she worriedly asked what would happen if one broke, I kept a straight face and detailed a local apocalypse: we’d all be sucked into the void and perish.
The existential horror in her eyes was priceless.
With a heavy, mournful sigh, she remarked: "It’s just awful how recklessly people use technology. We must fight for our planet."
I’m truly grateful to her for making the workday entertaining and for never failing to surprise me with her absolute lack of critical thinking. I’ve yet to find an answer as to why the dim-witted are always so frantically active. Probably shouldn't even try.
Anyway, thanks, Stela.

#Hackerone allows researchers a certain amount of "trial submissions" even when they have a signal value below the lowest accepted threshold for a specific program.
This effectively makes the signal requirement pointless for an individual project as the worst researcher on the platform might still sneak in and spend their "trials" in your program. Even when they have a signal value way below our requirement.
And they can always just create a new account and become n1nj4hack3er[num++]
Back in 2017(!), I was encountering a technical problem in a game I was playing. One of the top links that came up was a post in the Steam forums describing my exact problems, but it was a couple of years old and didn't provide a solution.
When I finally figured out the solution, I posted an answer to the original thread, simply because it was one of the top links in the search engines.
Last week, I got a notification about a reply to my comment. 😄 "Wow, that worked. Thanks so much!"

Decentralization only matters if people use it otherwise it’s just expensive philosophy.

Dependency tracking is hard

curl and libcurl are written in C. Rather low level components present in many software systems. They are typically not part of any ecosystem at all. They're just a tool and a library.Daniel Stenberg (daniel.haxx.se)
I'm working on this!

We need better tools for uncovering phantom binary dependencies. Not having these tools makes our global tech infrastructure less secure, and puts a strain on the Open Source maintainers we rely on.Vlad's Website
Thanks for the idea to finally do something about it.
I'm gonna have a bit more fun by not explicitly banning but setting requirements that are impossible to fulfill by current and likely any future models - and that are directly a consequence from the project being under an open source license, to highlight that LLMs are inherently open source incompatible (unless one trains one's own local LLM on only one's own code, in which case I don't care, but it's also unlikely such models can even be useful).
## AI Policy
Contributions by a LLM or other AI entity still must follow the above [licensing] requirements, just like human contributions.
In particular this means:
- The model or entity that has been used must be named.
- It must not have been trained or prompted on works with incompatible licenses. Neither must the output for any other reason be derivative of works with incompatible licenses.
- All authors of works that went into the training or prompting, or that the submission is otherwise derivative of, must be named and the respective licenses be stated.
- Note that an excessive number of contributors likely makes reviewing accuracy of the licensing information infeasible and usually leads to rejection.
- The human submitter certifies they have fully understood their submission and can respond to comments or questions about it.
Guten Morgen. Ich habe Fragen an die Mitlesenden, die blind oder stark sehbehindert sind:
1. Gibt es eine besonders geeignete App oder technische Empfehlung für die Teilhabe im Fediverse?
2. Gibt es einen technischen Grund, LibreOffice auf einem mit Sprachausgabe und/oder Braillezeile ausgerüsteten Gerät nicht zu verwenden?
3. Gibt es auch eine besonders großartige Outlook-Alternative?

Guten Tag.
1. ich bevorzuge Fast SM, wurde bereits verlinkt. Es gibt auch tweesecake, as scheint aber nichtmehr wirklich aktiv gepflegt zu werden.
2. Das kommt drauf an. Libra office writer (Textverarbeitung) ist für einfache Bearbeitung ziemlich ok zu verwenden, und auch calk (Tabellen Kalkulation) ist gut zu verwenden. Allerdings hat der writer manchmal Probleme mit screenreader Funktionen, kann ich bei nachfrage genauer erklären.
3. am besten thunderbird. Die mail client situation auf windows hat sich aber generell in den letzten jahren leider sehr verschlechtert.
I couldn't find any, so please enjoy the sounds of this Mac Plus booting from the internal floppy drive I made. Sound on!

This brings back very good memories 😊.
Though, I had a SC20 HDD so I only had to do that once the hard drive died 😭

Habt ihr schon jemals erlebt, dass "mangelnde Motivation", die man einer Gruppe, Abteilung oder sonstigen Organisationseinheit nachgeredet hat, irgendwas anderes war als ein Führungsproblem?
Wenn ja, dann beschreibt mir die Situation bitte.
Gerne auch weitertröten.
@doMCon
Ich (als Institutsleiter) habe gekündigt als die HS-Leitung mich zwingen wollte mein Institut völlig anders zu organisieren.
Kurz nach mir sind ca 50% der wiss. mitarbeitenden des Instituts auch gegangen.
insgesamt wurde mit der neuen HS Führung ein massiver Brain Drain angestossen, bei dem viele gute Leute (Profs) innerhalb von 2Jahren weg gegangen sind. (aus diversen sich kumulierenden Verschlechterungen).
