Good morning, Great People of #AudioMO.

I did promise you poetry so, for my day 3, have a reading. I'm not a big fan of my own voice, so sorry about that. But it's one of my favourites.
Again, not a studio quality recording or anything: just me and a headset and a Braille printout (can you call Braille a printout?) in my home office.

It's June, so I've got my Javastation off the shelf for the first time in a couple of decades. This is a Javastation Krups, with 100MHz sparc, sold as a diskless workstation. I never realised it had a PPP ROM boot in! Anyway, I should get on and set up networking and a boot server.

baby's first rust program.

i should have started here: developer.gnome.org/documentat… ... but i didn't ask @alice early enough. :p

Dneska jsem se dozvěděl, že na #Multisport kartu můžete mít každý den 2 jízdy po 60 minutách na #Rekola a ani vám to nevezme denní vstup do fitka/sauny/...
To je moc pěkné!

Quick suggestion. Could you kindly add a dropdown next to the [New Message] button, and when clicking the down arrow, it shows a new [Plain-text Message] menu entry?

This provides a visual hint which could really improve its accessibility. I really doubt if there is anybody can know there is a plain-text compose mode by shift+click the [+ New Message] button without consulting documentation.

Do you think they will update Thunderbird soon to 139?

Good news: Next.js is planning to improve deployment on other serverless platforms besides Vercel. github.com/vercel/next.js/disc…

To my fellow blind people:
This is the month of AudioMo. If you will be participating and if you're one that benefits from #AltText on photos, take the time to reciprocate when posting your audio.
Let's not have 'one rule for you, another for me' rule going on.
Practice what we preach. If you benefit from alt-text, add it to your audio description. Many people benefit from knowing what the audio is before clicking on it.
In the same way some images are NSFW, some of your audio might not be either. It may be loud, it may be noises of your pets which could cause pets at the other end to go wild and so on.

Last week, @steveklabnik.com indicated his disappointment with AI discourse:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, @ahl and I are going to be joined by Steve today to talk AI discourse; join us, 5p Pacific!

While DAVx⁵ is a client-server sync tool we often get questions if there is a possibility to sync in server to server. We had a nice talk today with the creator @whynothugo from pimsync who does work on a tool that does exactly that.

Check out the project here if you're interested:

pimsync.whynothugo.nl/

We also added it to our FAQ: davx5.com/faq/synchronization/…

#Digitalcourage, OG #München:
F-Droid und datenschutzfreundliche Apps

» In diesem Workshop zeigen wir Möglichkeiten, die Datensammlung auf #Android-#Smartphone|s einzuschränken. Neben allgemeinen Tipps (Abschalten der #Google Werbe-ID, Verwendung einer alternativen #Suchmaschine, Werbung über DNS- und/oder Firewall-Einstellungen reduzieren, …) wollen wir vor allem den #App-Store #FDroid vorstellen und uns über die dortigen Apps austauschen.

> Catima: [...] Aus Gründen der Datensparsamkeit sollten Sie – entgegen der Empfehlung der Entwickler.innen – natürlich keine Kund.innenkarten, Treueprogramme o. Ä. verwenden

Ich finde es auch ein gutes Idee, so wenig sollche Programmen wie möglich zu benutzen. Viele Leute haben aber nicht wirklich immer eine andere Option, weil Produkte oft teurer sind wenn mann diese Programmen nicht benutzt. Aber zumindestens trackt nur das Geschäft Sie denn, nicht auch der app :)

in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof @Scott Well there was that one time ...

I got off the train in the rain. I must have been 10, 11 years old. No phone. No announcements of the stops, either, not on my local valleys line. I had to count stops and hope, as a rule. Clearly, as I plodded on and nothing felt familiar, I realised I'd miscounted on this occasion.

So the rain keeps blattering and blustering and I keep walking, there's fences and walls and I hope that soon I'll come to something vaguely familiar. I have 10p for a phone box if I can find one, or i'll just ask the next person I hear.
I pause.
I hear someone, maybe.
I walk a bit further on.
Yes, that does sound like breathing.
"Hello," I exclaim!
"I presume Caerphilly is back the other way? Could you tell me where I am, please?"

The answer was a nay, I could not be told.
I was talking to a horse.

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen dustri.org/b/my-experience-wit…
