@toso thanks again: "it's dead, Jim!" Tries to get stuff from Soundcloud API, but it seems the API key used was revoked or something. So nothing to do with 13 – doesn't work on 10 either (or on other Androids at that).

=> App removed – repo quality improved :awesome:

As for Spotify ("Pasta"): let's wait that hopefully someone else confirms. I don't have any Spotify account, so I cannot check.

AppleVis has published the first AppleVis Report Card:

applevis.com/blog/apple-vision…

Inspired by the annual @sixcolors Apple Report Card format, it “provides valuable insights into the experiences and opinions of visually impaired community members who rely on VoiceOver, Braille support, or the low vision features on Apple devices.”

I hope Apple's AX teams read every word of this. Feedback from AppleVis has always been invaluable to me. I hope Apple sees it that way, too. (I bet they do.)

@partim I tried shortening it with my hand - it didn't stop the train but the sensation stopped me from trying further - very likely the shunting resistance of my hand is not low enough.

What I think is that the onboard power supply is not grounded but insulated, so you have to touch both pins to get shocked and the current only flows between the pins, not to ground. Good for me.

@Natanox I reported it to the carrier via WhatsApp and also to a (human) conductor. They promised they will do something about it but I had a feeling that they didn't get the seriousness of the situation. Maybe I should have had done a Helen Lovejoy.

Encrypted messaging app Signal will 'walk' out of the UK if the Online Safety Bill undermines encryption. We will not walk. We ask PM Sunak, will you block access to encryption, just like authoritarian Russia & Iran?

BTW: Both strategies are great to put pressure on the UK to NOT pass the Online Safety Bill - which is what we all want.

This press release is extremely cringe after @Mer__edith explained where that misleading headline came from and your account even apologized! 🙄
(screenshots in case you decide to go full cringe and delete the apology)

@aral @dalias We fully agree with what @Mer__edith says. W do not judge the 'walking' statement - it is a perfect way to put pressure on the UK government to not pass the Online Safety Bill. So is forcing them to block encrypted services - just like authoritarian governments.

We apologize if the post looks like an attack on Signal's strategy in this. It is absolutely not what we were trying to achieve, we just wanted to add to the pressure with our statement. We are in this fight together.


talk about anti-abortion politics of a tech person

I'm seeing people promote geerlingguy and they make a lot of stuff for ansible but also are eager to promote anti-abortion rhetoric on their site under the shield of "religion doctrine".

mind you, even rape seems permissible under this logic jeffgeerling.com/articles/reli…

so don't give them traffic since they don't respect people

I agree with you about this person's politics, but I still think we have to compartmentalize. So if you like the tech stuff, then by all means continue to consume and promote it. Otherwise we could all find some reason to shun other people and retreat further into our polarized tribal bubbles.
in reply to Matt Campbell

talk about anti-abortion politics of a tech person
Also, I don't interpret the political stance as not respecting people, and therefore being worthy of punishment. I interpret it as a symptom of being infected by the memetic virus of fundamentalist religion, and carrying out that virus's instructions to spread itself. And that's probably a consequence of having been raised in a religious environment. I know, because I was in that situation myself.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Everyone has to draw their own lines where we refuse to compartmentalize. For me disrespecting people’s choices with our own bodies is unacceptable. I am going to shun those who believe in forced birth and coercive gender roles.

You still probably want to generate the low level bindings even if you build a whole lot of custom API on top to fit in well with the idiomatic code in a specific language.

Handwriting is just a slog, and prevents your users from having access to the latest API as soon as it's available, and thus your workload increases with every cycle, until you burn out because nobody likes maintaining bindings.

We've been there already, which is exactly why we have gobject-introspection. 😅

My only hope is that my life mistakes serve as a teaching moment. 😂

But, in all seriousness: exploring and revisiting different solutions is good. The important thing is not to ignore the mistakes of the past, so you can make new and more exciting mistakes.

Many software engineers will only take a job if remote work is an option and will likely quit if their employer mandates a return to the office, according to Hired's annual software engineering study. techtarget.com/searchhrsoftwar…

Díky @ferda jsem objevil službu bird.makeup . Ta vám umožní sledování jakýkoli Twitter účet jako by byl ve fediverse.

Má to ale nějaké omezení. Například se nové příspěvky objevují cca každých 15 min (podle vytížení). Po přidání účtu, který ještě nikdo nesleduje, nějakou dobu trvá než se objeví první příspěvky.

Ta služba nejspíš porušuje podmínky užití TW, tak je možné, že za nějakou dobu přestane fungovat.

@pvagner @fdroidorg I am very happy to hear confirmation it is accessible for screenreader users. I found Android's TalkBack pretty confusing to understand so I had to guess a lot if I did stuff right. If I ever do break anything for screen readers or something can be improved please tell me, I consider accessibility issues high priority issues.

Somewhat long post, question of interest only to Linux server admins

Attention Linux server admins familiar with local mail handling, please boost for reach. I have a situation where I have an Email address that several people know, and I want all of them to get all Email sent to that address automatically. However, because of the possibility that this address might fall into the hands of spammers through no fault of my own, I don't want to just automatically forward everything that address receives. So far, I've been manually reviewing everything that comes to this address and then forwarding it to another address, which only I know, which does auto-forward to the desired recipients.

I'm familiar with the .forward file in a user's home directory to automatically forward incoming Email, but as far as I know, that just forwards everything it gets indiscriminately. I'm looking for something similar, but with a whitelist of known trusted Email addresses from which any incoming Email will be auto-forwarded, while everything else waits for me to review it. Does such a thing exist? If so, how do I set it up?

Thanks.
