Welcome to the RB family, Image Toolbox 🥳

What we thought to be non-RB turned out to be just non-deterministic. Luckily we know how to deal with that in most cases, though we'd prefer Google fixing the underlying issue 😉 (and yes, there is an issue open with them)

I get introduced to a lot of (to me) new apps during your "welcome to RB family" posts. A nice side-effect ^^.

Will try this one - I used Imagepipe up to now.

Edit:
Looks like Imagepipe needs less permissions, which jumped into my eyes in Neo Store ( apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… )

I always kinda hated this one. I think the point to businesses is real, sure, but it’s important to note that the term “hobby” is used somewhat derisively here. Open source developers and maintainers often see their projects as contributions, not hobbies. I feel like when we accept this narrative, we’re accepting the lie that the only legitimate software is software produced by and/or produced for corporations. I’m not willing to give businesses that monopoly too.

@manchicken I've seen this strip often and never once have taken the use of 'hobby' to be in any way derisive. Such projects may well be professional-grade or better, but that does not mean that it's not a hobby for the maintainers. And there's nothing wrong with that at all.

@elengale @manchicken the original xkcd 2347 strip does not use the word "hobby" anywhere though. My version use that as a reference to a comment on my blog a while back. The phrase in the lower right is a direct quote from that.

OK. Then we should redraw the picture a bit to show that there are multiple kernels, multiple TCP/IP stacks, multiple TLS libraries, but only ONE libcurl.

Variety above and variety below, but one solid block in between, used by virtually everyone.

caddy is a go program, go programs belong to the modern kind the kids do where everything is static. So caddy can be downloaded with just curl, no bash required... =)

@jorgeapaez1994 I should be charged with a crime for promoting the use of Braille embossers? What planet are you from, exactly? In addition, Braille, hardcopy or electronic, is very much alive. While Braille displays have definite advantages over hardcopy Braille, not everyone has access to Braille displays and many people enjoy reading a book or magazine embossed on paper, not to mention using embossers for things like restaurant menus, Braille handouts for meetings, convention schedules, etc., just as sighted people enjoy reading material on paper as opposed to an eReader. Oh, and by the way, while the article I posted wasn't intended to promote the use of Braille embossers, I certainly have no problem in promoting them and I can and will promote whatever technology that I choose to promote. You don't like it? Put your big boy pants on and deal with it or Block me.

@jorgeapaez1994 Braille is not an irrelevant language. In fact, it's not a language, period. It's a way for blind people to read text in their native language. Also, if we kill off Braille, you have condemned the deaf-blind community to illiteracy and done the exact opposite of what you claim you want to do in that deaf-blind people would now become computer illiterate. For that matter, killing off Braille would put the entire blind population into a state of complete illiteracy. I'm not normally this harsh but you're either a troll or you have no idea of what you're talking about.

@storm What were the results of the NVDA experiment we did a while back with Wine? We might potentially get the battle.net launcher working if it was successful, and add that to #audiogame-manager. Was doing some experimentation earlier with Lutris with the help of @Lironah but think it might be portable enough to get working.

No, it's mostly in the experimental stage at this point, plus with eh problems introduced by wine 9.X, I'm not sure it would even work any more. I think there's a script in AGM to set up nvda in a bottle.

That's actually a very good question.

Surely this kind of behavior will speed up our real world Monopoly's end game and while Apple must know that on some level they're probably incapable of acting otherwise, like any other monopoly.

I'm just amazed that Cory Doctorow thinks that it is shocking what Apple does, as it seems hardly anything new, predictable, textbook Capitalism.

I can't remember if I made this #game #recommendation before or not, but the Ghost and the Golem is an interactive story type game, set in a shtetl in the Russian Empire in the early 19th century. The game involves both historical events, such as pogroms, ethnic and class tensions, and fantastic elements. Depending how you play it you may encounter no significant fantastic elements, or a lot of them. It can be played on a browser, and it is text-based, and accessible. choiceofgames.com/ghost-and-th…

1/n Hi Jami devs. Is there any problem with chat synchronization in your applications? I am asking because for almost a two weeks I am experiencing something like that. Both apps, the android one and linux (Arch) desktop one can not properly synchronize ended and received messages. Moreover desktop one freezes after few minutes or sometimes even second after launching. I am also unable to change some configuration options because it hangs so heavy that I must do rebooting entire system.

I love Jami. Really. But, how do I... log in with my existing username? :))

Yep, I lost my previous device and I just can't use PIN from another device)

Hi 🙂 , I'm sorry you experienced and i understand this is frustrating. Unfortunately, if you hadn't already linked your account to another of your devices before losing it, I'm afraid that recreating a new account is the only solution. Due to Jami's distributed structure, we don't use a server and therefore don't host your data or account. Your account is only stored locally on your devices.

Hello #accessibility experts and #screenReader users. I am trying to find out a wordpress addon that might provide self-hostable and screen reader accessible reservation system. The features I am looking for is ability to integrate this with google calendar or any other caldav based self-hostable calendaring solution. Email notifications for both visitors and administrators is a plus. I need this to be accessible to both visitors as well as administrators.
Also recently I think I have seen a mention of croutfunding campaign where the aim is to build open-source accessible booking system. I'd be happy to look at it too if you can remind me of it.
