Case you didn't notice... In #iOS18 it is now possible to type six dots when using #braille onscreen keyboard all at the same time. For example, if you want to type the grade2 abbreviation for the word "for". Happy to see it finally working, but I now have to change all my old habits! :) #accessibility

Oh for sure, it's more just baffling that it took that long, the hardware limitation that caused that has not been a thing in almost a decade I think.

I always struggle to use YouTube with large playlists. I wish we had a YouTube client that feels more like a native user interface instead of a webpage that just reacts slowly or doesn't do what I want. My answer? I started developing a Total Commander plugin for YouTube. In Rust. First steps taken, the plugin loads properly in TC, no features yet, but that is going to change.

don't let me feature creep on your project. It was just an idea I've had. With sufficient abstraction it should be possible but don't worry too much if it adds unnecessary work. I just think it would be super cool.

@talon Who knows where it'll go in the end. I'll just start my YouTube journey, don't think it'll be too hard as soon as i've got API authorization done. If it works, well, who knows what will happen next.

i don’t even need to hear from the EFF to have a good argument why adshit shouldn’t run on my computers

the argument is: it’s my computer

no seriously. are they paying me for the use of my computer to run their adshit? no? then it doesn’t need to run on my computer.

that shit is for me, not doubleclick or whatever the bloody thing is called now. if it ain’t making me happy or bringing me money, it’s out

Do we have any Mastodon apps (for any platform; I truly have them all) which shows me the users who are following me that I haven't followed back? I'm part of a pretty big community that migrated over here together, and occasionally I still discover people who made it here, followed me, and somehow I missed the notification.

About my last boost (on the story of Southwest Airlines still running Windows 3.1), the boosted article mentions "the current zeitgeist about technology and its role in society, underlining that what is claimed to be technological progress is nothing but trouble, and that it’s better to stick with the old." It's true, and we technologists should find it embarrassing. This is a call to all of us to work on things that non-techies can be genuinely enthusiastic about. I'm doing what I can.

@TomGrant91 0.42%, if we assume 8.5 million is an accurate estimate of what went down, which is the figure the media are going with, and use the 2019 estimate of 2,000,000,000 computers in the world.
it was a tiny outage for all practical purposes but with a big boom impact.

Worryingly just one security company to blame, too. hard to imagine how all the testing and qA missed the possibility. Any sort of big rollout should be staggered. Even if they'd had an hour or two's grace from a big push the results would have been incomparably less damaging.

DuckDuckGo isn't a search engine. Because if it was it would stop sending us the the MSN content farm.

So we don't have a proper web search engine anymore.

I always called Endpoint Security software "Spyware". My direct bean counter was upset because I "didn't trust the security team" that did want to have it installed.

I surely didn't trust the vendor.

GNOME Calendar users, rejoice!

After 7 months of pain and suffering, we finally reworked the event details popover, which will be available in GNOME 47!

The new event details popover builds on top of the existing UI/code, while adding a few improvements and behavioral changes:

  • The popover displays the changes-prevent (lock) icon when the event is read-only.
  • Each section is properly separated with separators, with equal amount of margins.
  • Location and Meetings section are mutually exclusive; only one is shown.
  • When an event has no event note, the popover will always explicitly display that there's no event description.
  • The action button adapts its icon and tooltip text depending on the event permission.

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

#GNOME #GNOMECalendar #GTK #libadwaita #GTK4

Event viewer popover with a long title and description, accompanied with a 'lock' and 'info' button. The title and description are separated by a separator.
Event editor popover with "test" as the title with a placeholder description written "No event notes", with a 'edit' button.
Event viewer with "test" as the title and long description and a location link, with a 'edit' button.
