"Despite digital advancements in health, finance, law and other sectors, breaches of personal information continue to occur because of the use of traditional fax machines." ⤵️

After some great press coverage recently, I've just posted a more in-depth update about our plans for Flathub in 2023: discourse.flathub.org/t/flathu… @FlatpakApps

XMPP/Jabber people, have you seen @joinjabber?

They're a collective trying to get XMPP to a wider audience by improving the user experience, and they have a website that helps non-techy people to sign up:

➡️ joinjabber.org

This is really nice to see, there's so much potential in XMPP as an alternative to Whatsapp etc.

It's really easy to use XMPP once you've got set up, but finding a well-run well-maintained server, and finding a good regularly updated app, have historically been more difficult and scary than they needed to be.

Looks like JoinJabber are doing something about it! 😃

A public consultation by the European Commission has been launched regarding the European Disability Card which seeks to gather the opinion of persons with disabilities, their organizations and other interested stakeholders regarding this new instrument in the making. For as long as I can remember, travelling around the EU as a person with a disability has been a riddle of which benefits and discounts work where and whether a particular institution honours them or not even if I'm not a local. The European Disability Card could change that. You can feel the survey in using the form below, available in all of the 24 EU languages. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/E… ##Europe #EuropeanUnion #Disability #EU

@modulux I hope the implications become wider as time progresses. I moved to a different country three times and have either studied or worked there. Having my disability formally recognized was a lot of paperwork each time and I can only be thankful I found competent people who helped me navigate that system. For travelling the current scope of interest would work great for tourism, especially public transport. Maybe with time it will also contribute to having more affordable international travel. I am sure that financial security would give more confidence to those who were hesitant about travelling before.
in reply to modulux

@modulux It’d be great if this had some kind of an online component. This would, among other things, be useful for libraries for the blind, as verifying proofs of disability across borders is definitely non-trivial, particularly considering the number of languages spoken in the EU. Despite the Marakesh treaty existing for a few years now, getting access to accessible books outside your own country still remains a dream for many, as there’s no working technical infrastructure for either interlibrary loans or cross-border disability verification.

I wrote a tiny Hammerspoon that lets you obtain information about the foreground application with the press of a simple hotkey. It reports the name, version (if available), and the path. This is actually how I found out where the Finder comes from. github.com/thequinbox/app-info

I feel this piece deep in my bones. If you are a PM, designer, or developer building stuff for the web, you owe it to yourself to give it a read.

Congrats to #matrix co-founder @matthew for rocking the last #DMAWorkshop, there was still quite a bit of buzz about how the live bridging demo carried a ton of weight, despite the lobbying efforts from #Meta, you can see it at around 14:00 in the live stream recording webcast.ec.europa.eu/dma-works…

The lawsuit we're fighting isn’t just about the Internet Archive. It will determine the future of all libraries & their patrons, including those with print disabilities. #Accesstoknowledge for diverse communities will be impacted 🌍

Over the next 20 days until we go to court, we’ll be giving you 20 reasons to care about this lawsuit. We can’t wait to introduce you to the teachers, doctors, journalists & many more who rely on our lending library #EmpoweringLibraries eff.org/cases/hachette-v-inter…

Next to the r34(rc1) adb-binaries I've just uploaded my Bash auto-completions for adb, aapt & fastboot (incl. short instructions). So if you didn't install them from a source shipping those (or just want to try what I cooked up), be welcome to grab yourself a copy:

(starting with r34, I also include them with the archive shipping the binaries for Linux & Mac).

A month ago I started a new job as Software Platform Engineer at KDE.

What have I been up to since then?
