Aujourd'hui, dans le cadre d'une rencontre de mediateurices numériques, j'ai appris qu'une des conséquences de la loi immigration serait qu'à partir du 1er juillet, la majorité des personnes souhaitant accéder à la nationalité française et ayant l'obligation de suivre des cours de français le feront seul-es sur une application, là où iels avaient des cours en présentiel jusqu'à présent...
« Quand depuis plusieurs années, un étranger en situation régulière ne maîtrise pas le français, c’est qu’il n’a pas produit d’efforts », affirme le Ministre de l’Intérieur B. Retailleau.
I’ve been podcasting for over 20 years now, and hosted some of the most popular podcasts in the blind community. Blind people often ask me about all aspects of creating podcasts accessibly, including defining the kind of podcast you want to run, choosing the best tools for the job and the budget, interviewing, editing, and marketing. So, I’m thrilled that on June 11 at 1 PM Eastern, the National Federation of the Blind’s Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Accessibility will be hosting a free four-hour webinar on podcasting as a blind person. It’s not necessary to have any prior experience, we’ll start at the beginning, but there will be useful tips even if you’ve been podcasting a while. I’ll be anchoring the webinar, and you’ll also hear a couple of familiar NFB voices. Melissa Riccobono, co-host of the NFB’s Nation’s Blind Podcast, Mushroom FM host, audio describer and audiobook narrator, will discuss how she turned a dream of working with audio into reality. Will Schwatka is the technical genius behind most of the NFB’s audio and whose voice you will have heard narrating the audio edition of the Braille Monitor among other things. He’ll join us to talk about equipment choices, including microphones, mixers, and audio interfaces. There will be plenty of time for your questions. I’m looking forward to presenting this for you. This webinar on podcasting is just one of many regular webinars CENA offers. You can register by visiting this URL. nfb.org/programs-services/cent…

Since yesterday, I have had an urge to play with CSS again, and it's the least practical time for it.
(Since work during the day and a brain that is currently saying no.)
There is a three-year-old article by Ryan Mulligan that has been living rent-free in my head for a while, and I recently applied it to a hobby project for the first time. I want to learn more about these techniques as I'm not fluent with them yet.

Hi @kasnder, As part of the targeted user group I'd like to experiment a bit with #GreaseMilkyway
Fortunately I'm not addicted to one the apps listed in the examples. On the project page you mention Developer Assistant from the PlayStore as one potential tool to identify the elements one wants to block. Do you happen to know a comparable #FOSS tool from an #FDroid #Repo I could use instead? @IzzyOnDroid
The Bill will strengthen our laws and keep Canadians safe by ensuring law enforcement has the right tools to keep our borders secure, combat transnational organized crime, stop the flow of illegal fentanyl, and crack down on money laundering.
"For now, the most comprehensive protection against Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica tracking is to refrain from installing the Facebook, Instagram, or Yandex apps on Android devices."
I genuinely have no idea what the left’s strategy is (or has been) for Gaza. Everything has been to force attention on it as a monocause, but only in the most unsympathetic ways possible.
Like I understand the thought “we need to make America pay attention to this” but they seem not to have a way of doing that that doesn’t involve them doing toxically unpopular things. Who are they listening to?
Yes, there is real anger in Ann Arbor over the vandalized peony garden at the University of Michigan. It's not just a loss of some pretty flowers. It's a central part of the city's identity.
i think the 'pro-palestine' movement would be very furious if Israel and Palestine would work out a peaceful and lasting solution tomorrow. They wouldn't know how to fuel their hate against jews anymore.
Do you have any idea how many times I had to throw this fucking stuffed bear into the air, swing my camera up to my eye, and try to take the perfect picture of it as it fell?

Meta und Yandex haben die Browsernutzung von Android-Nutzer'innen mit einer perfiden und bisher unbekannten Tracking-Methode deanonymisiert und damit die strikte Trennung von Apps ausgehebelt.
Das in Websites eingebettete Tracking-Script (also z.B. "Facebook Pixel") konnte sein _fbp-Cookie über einen internen Port (z.B. 127.0.0.0:12387) senden und die Facebook-App hat auf diesem Port gelauscht und das Cookie abgefangen. So wurde ein Webseitenbesuch, bei dem Facebook eingebunden war, auch an die Facebook-App gemeldet.
War also gar keine so falsche Entscheidung, keine dieser Apps zu nutzen – und auch keine der zu Meta gehörenden Seiten je anzusurfen, sowie deren Domains gleich im DNS gesperrt zu haben…
Oh man, die Strafe für eine derartige, vorsätzliche Verletzung des Datenschutzes sollte aber bitte richtig heftig ausfallen. Idealerweise "Laden dichtmachen" (wird nicht passieren), 2. Platz: Bußgeld in 9-stelliger Höhe (damit es nicht aus der Portokasse gezahlt werden kann). 🤯
Die Schwierigkeit könnte sein, dass Facebook von den Seitenbetreibern verlangt hat, dafür eine Einwilligung einzuholen. Und vielleicht reicht das auch schon, um diese Technologie zu erlauben ("Weiterleitung von Daten wie Facebook ID an Meta").
Bei der Studie finden sich Ergebnisse von einem Top 100K Seiten Crawl.
Tatsächlich haben demnach auch einige deutsche Seiten das Pixel noch immer ohne Einwilligung in Betrieb, darunter dominos.de cineplex.de
Und immer noch Verlage wie Ippen (OVB24/rosenheim24.de) und Burda (efahrer.chip.de).
Aber ich wüsste nicht, dass deutsche Behörden schon Strafen wegen Metas Pixel ohne Einwilligung verhängt hätten.
Traurig, dass sie das noch nicht haben (Strafen verhängt). Und ja, für die Masche mit "Verantwortung abwälzen" sind sie ja bekannt – siehe "hochladen des Adressbuches" bei WhatsApp, wo der Anwender bestätigen soll, von allen (!!) im Adressbuch die Zustimmung zu haben. Hat Dich schonmal wer gefragt, ob das für Dich OK wäre? Mich nur eine einzige Person. Und ich glaube kaum, dass sonst keiner meiner Kontakte WA nutzt ("Das braucht man doch…") 😔
My latest project is code-named "Total Reprint." I ported The Print Shop (1986) to ProDOS and made it hard-drive-installable. Then I made some other improvements, like live previews of third-party graphics and borders. It's bundled with every graphic, border, and font that Broderbund ever released, plus hundreds of other openly licensed graphics that I back-ported from modern artists.
Come to INIT HELLO in July for the product launch. <init-hello.org/>
@jaybird110127 Your latest boost from 4am is the second time that this INIT HELLO conference has come across my feed. Not gonna lie, I'm tempted to go; it might be fun. But I'm not a hard-core Apple II enthusiast.
@matt I guess I've missed something. They keep talking about INIT HELLO. Has Kansasfest gone by the wayside for some reason? That IIRC used to be the primary Apple II enthusiasts' conference.

The note to make on this post is the domain. Fly is an hosting company so if “AI lets us go faster” and “AI makes bad code but we’re slowing down to make it usable” (paraphrased) is their self-contradictory policy, that puts a question mark on hosting with them
Also, going “many of you will lose your jobs but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” is almost admirable as a douchebag move, but it’s also the norm in tech. There is no class solidarity to speak of in tech.
> “many of you will lose your jobs but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
That wasn't what I took from that section. I think the point of that section, and the one after it about plagiarism, was that he thinks we programmers deserve what we've got coming, because of how our work has destroyed so many other kinds of jobs already, and how many of us have flagrantly violated copyright because we want our entertainment now and for free. And both of those sections did give me pause.
@matt You’re outlining his motivation behind his willingness to sacrifice other people’s jobs. Fundamentally, he’s still stating a willingness to sacrifice other people’s jobs.
Also, I don't think all automation is equally bad. I've spent most of my career working on assistive technology for blind people. It's true that before personal computers, OCR, and ebooks, some people could get paid to read text aloud or transcribe it to Braille. But, on the whole, I think it's a good thing that those jobs are obsolete, because probably most blind people didn't have access to readers or transcribers. I guess it's possible my reasoning is self-serving though.
It still hurts me to see tables like this. While I learned that stuff (30 years ago) the base was 1024 instead of 1000.
Using 1000 for Memory like people do it for vegetables looks always like a marketing trick. Just a way to sell me less Memory For the same price. And it works. At just 1TB they embezzling 99511627776 Bytes.
All of these comments simply point out the fact that we should never have used metric prefixes to name binary numbers. Current technology is based on two and powers of two, not on ten and powers of ten! ( Although there might have been an advantage and it would be appropriate had we stuck with processors with 10-bit bytes and 20-bit words.)
