Enjoyed presenting on Day 1 of Drupal GovCon -- Data Analysis of Drupal, Government and Best Practices

TLDR: Drupal is doing better than average, based on most CrUX Core Web Vital evaluations, but we still need to do better for CX.

As a community we can work to improve these scores and improve the digital experience of .gov sites.

New LeaseyBite. Getting Efficient With Reading Email Messages in Microsoft Outlook.

Through Leasey, JAWS has the ability to automatically speak the content of the Outlook reading pane as you move through messages in a mail folder. This means that if the reading pane is enabled, as you move to a new message JAWS will speak the usual details such as the presence of attachments, author and subject, followed by the content of the reading pane. In most cases, the reading pane displays the entire content of a message. This can be very helpful because you can read your Email messages without opening them. Listening to this information can help in making a decision as to whether you wish to open the message, move it elsewhere or delete it.
This feature is a real productivity boost.

I just read on the fediverse about a trackball input system that is open hardware. When I looked at the website I found out that they design a headphone and several trackballs and mice.

I am happy with my computer mouse. But out of curiosity I might try a product of them later this year

Ich hab ja schon ein paar Mal über die #Barrierefreiheit des Portals lebensmittelwarnung.de berichtet und unter anderem deren kreative Lösung für Alternativtexte in der Software gelobt, für die sie eigentlich nicht ausgerüstet war.

Tatsächlich haben sie die Seite wie angekündigt diesen Sommer auf eine neue technische Basis gestellt. Das Ergebnis ist wirklich gut gelungen und weitestgehend zugänglich. Gute Arbeit, Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit!

So am I to understand that a full 38% of my revenue may now be siphoned off by Patreon and Apple, neither of whom contribute in any way to the creation of my work?

And that this is because Patreon wants to have an iOS app, which I do not need, do not benefit from, did not exist when I selected them as my payment processor, and cannot opt out of?

Um, no thank you.
I called this as a danger almost a year ago, btw:

fun Linux fact:

There are at least two places in the Linux kernel where performance-sensitive code paths use a, uh, retrospective approach to memory safety, where you do the memory read first (and suppress the occasional kernel page fault) and worry about making sure it was memory-safe later.

One of the two is in the SLUB allocator's lockless allocation fastpath: elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10…
It (1) first loads the pointer to the current top freelist element, then (2) reads the next freelist pointer out of that element, and (3) does a double-wide atomic compare-exchange to check if it raced and replace the freelist head. The read in step (2) can return garbage or fault if someone else concurrently modified the freelist (basically it can be UAF), but in that case step (3) that uses the result of the read is guaranteed to fail, so it's fine.

The other one is in the Virtual File System layer, used for printing pathnames (like for getcwd()):
elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10…
As the comment there explains:

 * The source of the prepend data can be an optimistic load<br> * of a dentry name and length. And because we don't hold any<br> * locks, the length and the pointer to the name may not be<br> * in sync if a concurrent rename happens, and the kernel<br> * copy might fault as a result.<br> *<br> * The end result will correct itself when we check the<br> * rename sequence count, but we need to be able to handle<br> * the fault gracefully.<br>
