Ich hab mir gerade meinen ersten "Plötzlich Long Covid" Text durchgelesen, den ich vor 10 Monaten geschrieben habe und ich komm mir jetzt rückblickend so naiv vor! Damals war ich überzeugt davon, dass ich die Erkrankung in 3 Monaten bewältigt haben werde und sah es als kurzweilige Episode, die wieder vorübergeht. In der Zwischenzeit war ich an ganz persönlichen Tiefpunkten - nach der Reha und nach dem Krankenhaus - die für mich zuvor nicht einmal vorstellbar waren.

Ich lebe schon einige Jahre damit und frage mich immer wieder, wie soll man Menschen begegnen, die noch voller Hoffnung sind, dass das wieder weggeht?

Ja es wird bei einigen wieder besser oder ganz verschwinden, aber die eigene Erfahrung ist halt eine ganz andere und man möchte auch niemandem die Hoffnung nehmen...

I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Curious how other screen reader users are using Bluesky, if at all? The webapp and the iOS app both leave a lot of #accessibility to be desired it seems.

I WONDER IF THIS IS A SIGN THAT X MIGHT BE USED FOR FOREIGN INTERFERENCE??

Just think. This time next year we'll all be sitting here in Canada and our Prime Minister will be a foreign-owned subsidiary of the same billionaires, oligarchs and dictators the US is.

They own all the media, public broadcasting is now unrecognizable where it still exists at all and everything is being privatized.

Women's rights are in danger and for-profit incarceration centres are popping up to centralize their slave labor, though of course it's not called that.

Health is for winners.

Dicen que el sueño de la razón produce monstruos. Y es cierto, pero también prodigios.

Y en 1979 un puñado de inconscientes se olvidaron de lo razonable para crear algo increíble.

Aunque en ese momento, nadie lo entendió.

The gnome-control-center panel I’ve been working on for the last many weeks is now ready for review, including a new chart widget for showing time spent using the computer screen (so you have some visibility into your compute use habits).

Glad to finally have this off my plate and on its way to being reviewed and hopefully merged.

There is something I want sighted people to understand about blind people. If you see a blind person heading toward a wall, tree, bench, or any other object they might bump into and potentially get injured, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should immediately try to pull them out of the way. It's completely natural to feel concerned, but a better approach would be to just warn them and ask if they need help. While there are times when it's actually needed, it might also be that they are going toward a landmark they use for orientation, and as unfortunate as it is, you might unintentionally get them confused and disorientated. I often purposely look for such objects to better remember the route, and not all places are accessible enough for me to be able to get back on track if I take a wrong turn. Your help and concern are really appreciated a lot, but sometimes things are different from how they seem, and that's why it's always better to ask first.

If you ever get asked this by some software, the answer is *always* YES.



Bueno, creo que ya es momento de anunciar que..., 🥁🥁🥁 ¡Acabo de empezar en un nuevo trabajo!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 y estoy super emocionada, nerviosa y con el síndrome del impostor no por las nubes, si no más bien en el espacio sideral.

Turns out if a technology comes along that dismantles the basic interpersonal building blocks of everyday life in this world and replaces it with constant 24/7 insubstantial but incredibly loud screams of existential agony, both overt & covert, the world…starts to come apart at the seams.

We used to call that the Singularity. Funny how we thought it hadn’t happened yet.



I'm curious, is anyone doing an open-source software cooperative?


Anyone got recommendations for an uncomplicated video editor accessible with a screen reader? Don't really care which platform it's on. I thought Reaper could do this, but when I edited and exported, I lost the video portion of the project somehow. Don't need anything fancy, nor do I want to have to spend hours learning the thing. Really just need to cut Bits out, but not just trimming from beginning or end.

@Ricky Enger Although it's an electron based app lossless-cut is one of the great ffmpeg frontents usefull for cutting videos. It has a lot of built-in keyboard shortcuts and it's very customizable. I'm using it with orca on linux, but I know other folks are using it with nvda on windows.

@pvagner Can it do stream dubbing too? While I can mess with FFmpeg on CLI the kind of complicated stream merging and filtering is beyond me.
in reply to x0

@x0 @Ricky Enger You can choose which streams to include in the output. There is a tool that allows concatenating the files. I don't know what exactly stream dubbing is.
in reply to Peter Vágner

@pvagner Take audio from one file and video from another file and mux them together, sorry I could have been more clear about that.
in reply to x0

@x0 @Ricky Enger Yes this is listed as supported feature in their readme file although I don't yet know how to do it with lossless-cut. I'd use ffmpeg on the command line for this.


Something I've thought about lots over the past few years and even more recently: what can we do to foster and normalize small tech rather than big tech?

Individual communities are going to need to manage their own tech infrastructure in the coming years if they want to be more accessible, not beholden to large corporations, not surveilled constantly, etc. Individual creators will need to distribute outside of Steam or Spotify. Co-ops need property management portals. Mutual aid groups might benefit from lightweight logistics or communication tools.

I think platform is key. It needs to be easy to host/manage for others, and those others need to eject easily either to different providers or to their own host. Lots of stuff gets us parts of that, but I don't think anything is close to what would be ideal. Needs to be easy to build for and hard to break completely. Also needs to be entirely open source and not just open core.

in reply to Nolan Darilek

I still think Sandstorm is closest start here (or more likely, Tempest once it gets moving again), but it's been super hard to keep people engaged in building or funding it. Even I've been too busy with other things to focus on chipping away at my own todo list.

But we had ease of hosting (once started) and user portability pretty much completely down pat, and I still see nobody doing anything else that approaches selfhosting intended for other people to have their own agency on it.

in reply to ocdtrekkie

Yeah, I really want Sandstorm to succeed, and I think it's the model I'd like us to all move towards. You really do have to rewrite/adapt your apps for it, though, and I'm just thinking to give folks a standardized OIDC provider/mail setup/interop spec, and maybe something like NixOS to glue it all together. It's not the solution I want for sure, but I'm thinking we'll need a working solution sooner rather than later. I want to see tech succeed in these spaces because the alternative is that folks go back to writing things on whiteboards/pieces of paper, which means they're inaccessible to me. Thus my urgency to succeed on a quicker timeframe.

Speaking of, are the community meetings still happening? Always wanted to attend but 9 PM CST wasn't a great time and I never spoke up. Still have a soft spot in my heart for Sandstorm though.

I wonder how developers at Tailscale, Zoom, the Google Meet team, etc. test restrictive firewall and NAT scenarios in their office or, these days, home-office environments. Do they get cheap routers with OpenWrt or the like to emulate the external firewall products that corporate IT types use? Do they buy those actual firewall appliances? Do they set up a virtual network on their workstation inside VMware or the like? Something else?
in reply to Matt Campbell

I think even the cheap routers, when they have OpenWRT installed, behave well.
in reply to Matt Campbell

aren't mobile phones and carrier grade NATs the ultimate boss enemy?


Just tried to explain Mastodon & the Fediverse to my husband, which was tricky because like.. I don't entirely understand everything myself 😅
He's currently rolling out a software product and I think he should have a presence here, but I'm not sure whether it would make the most sense for him to run his own server, which he's not keen on, or.. how to find one that would be a good fit.
It's an RPG virtual table top online thingy, so if you know a server where that would be at home, lmk I guess?
in reply to WearyBonnie

I picked my instance purely on the fact that they accept people who care about tinkering and the intersectionality of tech and people.
