It was a pleasure to have you on the show David. Come back soon! tweesecake.social/@DavidGoldfi…


I was thrilled to be interviewed for Double Tap, a daily blindness tech podcast, hosted by @stevenscott and Shaun Preece. This program is produced for AMI in Canada but is available wherever you get your podcasts.
On today’s show, Steven, Shaun and I talk about the BT Speak Pro from Blazie Technologies, a pocket computer featuring a nine-key Braille keyboard and speech output.

Academic librarians of the fediverse: I could use your help.

There's a book that would be useful for my research that I can't get via ILL. There are three copies in Worldcat: one at the Smithsonian, one at the University of Alberta, and one at l’Université du Québec à Montréal. If anyone at any of those libraries is able to check something for me, I'd be *very* grateful.

#AudioMo for June 14, 2024
This is an excerpt I recorded for "Blind Ham News," which is part of the CQ Blind Hams podcast feed.
The host, W0QA, asked for the story behind our callsigns, so I recorded this.
The full episode can be found here:

People who use screen readers! The level three headings are now removed from GitHub repository landing page file tables.

It might take a bit for the changes to propagate, and don't forget you might need to refresh your browser tabs. Please let me know if they still persist after that, and I'll try and get to the bottom of it. #accessibility

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the I38 project Make sure all files have the #!/usr/bin/env directive. Various bug fixes. Add license header to all files.

Captured these loud booms at 20:55 from the outside mics, no idea if it's weapon discharge or what. It's definitely not fireworks though, which is at least something usual around here.
in reply to Andre Louis

Most likely some kind of fireworks. Maybe some Scottish football fans in your neighborhood? If I remember correctly the only Scottish goal scored at that time in the opening game of the European Championship.

@jimfuller I did but without anyone mentioning it, I am not sure this is related. But getting reports is usually good, it means we are scrutinized

@jimfuller Also, the security researchers we draw, are distracted from harrassing other projects.

Sometimes you see something on a map and wonder if you read that right.



Ok, the “Understanding Swift performance" session is doing a deep dive into a lot of low-level principles that I haven’t really felt I needed to understand with Swift, but they are integral to understanding C++. I wish I'd had this talk a year or two ago when I started getting into C++. So much stuff would have made more sense to me then.

I'm not 💯 sure every Swift dev needs this, but if you want to understand things at a deeper level, it's good info.

in reply to Dachary

I wonder how much of it would apply to Rust. I guess I'll have to listen and find out.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt If you've already been doing stuff with Rust for a while and understand the concepts of memory management, there may not be anything new here for you. But when I got into C++, I had mainly worked in Swift/Kotlin/JS and didn't really know much about memory management, so there are a lot of concepts I had to understand or have learned implicitly that I haven't had explicitly explained until this talk.

I know there's still a big contingent of people who believe that, at its core, the United States can be a force for good.

And I want to remind you that it's never been the case for those who don't fit the image or ideology of the core of America: colonial Europeanized identities (or an alliance to it), wealth (by means of forced capital extraction) and imperial moves (like having thousands of bases around the world and being the largest contributor to child slavery around the globe).

This is the type of shit that a state government aligned to those values and its acolytes sign off on.

Today I learned: if you have an Android device with working WiFi and a Linux PC with no Internet connectivity, you can tether the Android device to the PC via USB to get connectivity on the PC, and in my experience, it just works.
in reply to Matt Campbell

If Android is connected to a 4g mobile network, it works too.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@Matt Campbell @Cleverson Do you guys know that for android 13 and older devices rndis is used for USB tethering. Since linux 6.7 that's being removed in favour of NCM which is also supported by android 14. So If you have some older android device, you might need to watch out for the kernel updates if you are relying on this functionality.
in reply to Matt Campbell

With my previous Samsung, I had to reenable the tether after every disconnect of the USB cable, which was every now and then. 😕 My current phone is able to do wifi hotspot while having a wifi uplink as well so I don't have any motivation to use any other way to tether other stuff to the phone.

Hi! Thanks for spreading the word.

One question regarding the appeal to send in bug reports about "Unable to decrypt" errors.

Unfortunately the message does not indicate how or where to do so. Would you have any pointers what they mean?

Like clicking some buttons in the Element apps, or writing down observations of the behaviours into GitHub issue, or joining some kind of channel to say hi? It's just not clear to me, and eventually others.

Thanks for the heads up!

FFS, GNOME! Just wasted a day of editing video because the built-in screen recorder records screencasts at such a low quality that I ended up with keyframe artefacts / ghosting in my captures.

Bloody hell…

And is there any way to set the quality? Is there ever!

[Edit] Use OBS. (Thanks everyone in the replies.)

(Don’t use GNOME’s built-in screen recorder if you’re posting HD+ videos.)

Turns out doing real time encoding in software is a hard problem to solve, and turns out most of the good codecs out there are patent encumbered and can't be shipped by default.

Maybe instead of directing rants at volunteers, you could ask *why* things are as they are instead of expecting every feature to be on-par with commercial OSes.

in reply to Jonas

In case you're actually be interested in what's happening rather than just ranting:

Quite a few people (including me) have been working their asses off on gnome-shell/gstreamer/pipewire for the last two years in order to use hardware encoders out of the box (no large project dared to use hw encoders on linux by default so far). Also we're using the faster h264 sw encoder instead of vp8 in gnome-shell now when available (it must be manually installed on Fedora because patents).
