I've been trying to get together a community-driven computer history journal. I'm looking for authors and editors, and was thinking some of you might be interested in contributing:

Co se stane, když korupcí prolezlá mezinárodní federace zorganizuje událost v otrokářské distopii, která za systematického potlačování lidských práv postaví na hrobech 6500 dělníků megalomanské stadiony na jedno využití?

"The latest change would mean all documents required or permitted to be signed under the Corporations Act of 2001 can be signed in a “technology neutral” way. Notices currently required to be published in newspapers would instead need to be published in a way that is “publicly available and reasonably prominent”."

👂🏽Do any #OpenSource #audio geeks know of tools for #Android and/or #Linux that can set separate equalization for each ear?
Because of #COVID, I have #hearingLoss in my left ear and I would like to boost higher frequencies to get it somewhat equal.
Thanks for any ideas. Please boost if you have audio-smart followers that might have ideas for me, and please wear a mask so this doesn't happen to you.
Wuensche @Anwalt_Jun viel Erfolg fuer seine Verhandlung heute... letztendlich koennte er, falls das Verfuegungsverfahren erfolgreich ist, dafuer sorgen, dass #Twitter in Deutschland erstmal Pause machen muss.

Jak tady na mastodonczech nebo obecně na Mastodonu funguje vyhledávání?
Z poznámky v okně, které se ukáže po kliknutí do vyhledávacího pole, se to zdá být jasné. Ale přece jen se zeptám: opravdu nejde fulltextem vyhledávat v celé lokální tajmlajně?

This is an old project, but by some miracle it's still working and I woke up this morning wanting to celebrate the things I love more.
This Inkplate e-ink screen shows Conway's Game of Life, seeded from tarpits I have on the Internet. The tarpits are programs on my computer that superficially look like insecure Telnet and Remote Desktop services, but actually exist to respond super slowly and make bots scanning the Internet 'get stuck'.
When a bot connects to the tarpit, the data it sends gets squished into a 5x5 grid and 'stamped' onto a Game of Life board. Data from a bot at the IP address 1.1.x.x will get stamped on the top left corner, data from a bot at 254.254.x.x will get stamped on the bottom right corner.
Conway's Game of Life, a set of simple rules that govern whether cells should turn on or off, updates the display once per second. The result is that bot attacks end up appearing as distinct 'creatures', that get bigger and more angry looking over time (as their centre is updated with new data). After the attack finishes, the 'creature' eventually burns itself out.
Despite that description, it's a really chill piece of art that doesn't draw too much attention but I can happily watch for a long time.
Credit for the idea goes to @_mattata, I had been wanting to make a real-life version of XKCD #350 for years before seeing his Botnet Fishbowl project.

Hey @Tutanota! Lately I’ve been getting the “Connection lost” error, this was not happening before. This is in the iOS app v3.104.5. Are you guys aware of this?
Thanks!
Let's be clear, it is racist as fuck to discount the experience and insights of Black academic AND to call them a fucking colonizer because you do not have the mental capacity to absorb what is being said.
Do not be this person. You will sound like a fool. And a racist fool at that.

Are those of you here in the #Fediverse aware of the amazing resource that is mynoise.net?
No?
Let me introduce you.
It has a medieval village #background #noise environment with toggles you can use to increase or decrease the blacksmith shop and market and horse clops (among many others).
Oh, you want a coffee shop? Sure thing.
Rain? Thunderstorm? Gotcha.
Generic white noise?
RPG thrills? Of course.
Tame that #tinnitus? Yes!

I like the early #accessibility tips from fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediver… especially the bits at the end where admins can add CSS to help support their authors to create better content.
I wonder if there are more tools to help authors create more accessible content. #ATAG 2.0 is really powerful, yet old school social media hasn't adopted it.

I always find videos about #accessibility super interesting. Here are two videos from ProRail showing how one can use Dutch railway stations when blind or visually impaired:
In Dutch: yewtu.be/watch?v=aZYx_q5bIsk
In English: yewtu.be/watch?v=X54WMxb2Wgw
Accessibility is really important and needs to be given more attention.
We have worked on it for years, and now the moment is finally here: all Dutch train stations have been made accessible for blind and visually impaired passengers by means of clear, predictable route guidance.ProRail | Invidious

Hey folks,
I'm currently looking for new permanent and remote-only opportunities in Europe.
I'm really willing to get my hands dirty with some Rust. My day job is mostly about TypeScript and NodeJS but I have plenty of projects on my GitHub account you can check github.com/yamafaktory .
Boost really appreciated ❤️ !

An article on how to write an effective #AltText #ImageDescription for #accessibility...
MAIN POINTS:
• describe the image only, not the photographer credits or keywords
• write a description appropriate to the context (ex., a post about photography vs. a celebrity)
• make it as concise as possible, except if you are transcribing text in an image
• no need to start with "An image of..." as the screen reader says that by default
• end with a period to provide a pause
This post contains everything you need to know about alt-texts! When to use them and how to perfectly craft them. By me, Daniel, a web developer with vision impairment who use a screen reader in my day-to-day life.Daniel Göransson (Axess Lab)

Very very new project, I38, which aims to do for i3 and sway what strychnine does for ratpoison.
This is extremely new code, prone to bugs, and not everything is implemented yet. If you want to test, please back up your current configuration first.
Very cool, you can change modes and add bindings inside those modes, so we have a ratpoison mode which will allow launching things in a familiar way for strychnine users.
