The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is Black Friday, when consumers are manipulated to experience the visceral thrill of a looting spree while causing no actual damage or disruption to the smooth operation of late stage capitalism and obligingly reinforcing it.
it's IRC but modern and cool: web client that works everywhere (phone/laptop/desktop), stays persistent, and user verification works with SSH keys instead of passwords!
why? real-time chat for discussing altbot, my projects, and just hanging out. sometimes async isn't enough, you know? also fuck discord :)
has image/link embedding, file uploads, works from anywhere, no app needed.
Hmm, it's sadly not unusual for sighted. And if they only use mainstream social media probably they have never even heard about it. But it depends, probably like, 8.
@jonathan859 I've learned about Alt-Text on Twitter many many years ago (when it was less awful), and have seen it on Instagram (if I recall correctly, even with encouragement to use alt text).
Interesting. Well I think Instagram storys don't have alt text until this day, so meh, that was basically the main usage of the people I followed (don't have Insta anymore).

Jimmy Cliff's death brings to mind The Harder they Come soundtrack. Decades ago, I was lucky enough to find it in a thrift shop - I subsequently played the record to death. While this isn't a Cliff tune, I've always loved it and IMHO it remains the most powerful track on album today (but feel free to disagree - it's a great record all the way through).

Woher kommt eigentlich diese Sitte bei #LinkedIn, sich gegenseitig vollkommen unironisch verbal die Eier zu kraulen?
„Uhhhah, es war so toll, dass ich diesem mega super fantastischen Vortrag von euch Powertalenten lauschen durfte.“ „Yeah, danke du großartiger Schwubbifutz für deine Teilnahme und die waaaahnsinnig progressiven Inputs“
Ich nutze den Dienst seit 10 Jahren und bin sehr zufrieden. Wer Mailbox also ausprobieren möchte, kann das jetzt zu einem sehr vergünstigten Tarif als Neukunde machen. Auch beim Thema Barrierefreiheit wird ständig nachgebessert und erweitert.
bin auch dort und soweit zufrieden. Wenn man IMAP mit Applikationspasswörtern nutzt, sollte man in den Einstellungen aber die seit kurzem verfügbare Option zum Zurücksetzen des Passworts per Mail deaktivieren. Damit wird dann nämlich die Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung ausgehebelt.

Just found this project. I understand this is an Android app, but what does it synchronise with? What is on the server side? Thank you for releasing under GPL @davx5app
On the server side there is a directory that stores contacts and calendars in vcard/ical format. This davx5.com/tested-with/ shows some examples. If the server is able to provide these data via the CalDAV and CardDAV protocol you can use our app to sync it down to your Android device.
Got it thank you! I was trying to understand whether the DAVx5 brand also includes the server, but I see the answer is No. All good, thank you. Separate question, are you aware of this project (looks abandoned now) etesync.com/ ? It's basically a middleware layer for E2E encryption. My question to you is: are you aware of some sort of standard interface for E2E "apps on the cloud" so that this doesn't have to be done re-invented independently by each app?

Oh god. A friend of mine and her hubby have been plotting to sell their holiday home, plans that will fund a gentle but lovely retirement. Three weeks ago, the day after they did the budget she awoke hearing him very upset - he was looking at his trousers and couldn’t remember what do do with them.
Long story short, he has been in hospital ever since, rapid decline, he no longer recognises her and has ‘rapid onset dimentia”. From normal husband to completely unable to function in three weeks.
Love your people. Do your wills and EPOAs. Have those holidays now.

Last weekend @lbky and I tagged a new python-varlink release 32.0.0 at Boiling the Ocean. The main highlights are: * Dropping python2 support * Raised the minimum Python version to 3.9 * varlink.Server() now supports setting a custom JSON encoder * Various project modernisation's (PEP517 support, ruff linting, pytest, etc.)
Yesterday an open-source developer Christian has released life changing update to the privacy respecting #android app called #MakeACopy. The app now features so called #accessibility mode that is enabling #screenReader users to take pictures of the paper documents independently. Accessibility guide is available on github. The latest prerelease version provides clear Accessibility guidance phrases with screen readers such as Talkback, Corvus, Jieshuo and others that can handle announcement accessibility event.
I am verry happy about this. We are now getting privacy respecting open-source based screen reader accessible solution that performs very well and is easy to use.
MakeACopy is an open-source document scanner app for Android that allows you to digitize paper documents with OCR functionality. The app is designed to be privacy-friendly, working completely offli...
it's fun when they say "86578 selected partners". How much were there before the selection? Or maybe you just did a bad job and haven't been selective enough
What a waste! All that data could be better utilised in planning the economy ahead of time, in anticipating human needs rather than manufacturing wants. Such is the poverty of imagination within #SiliconValley.

Ještě mají (doporučuji) nově buildy, kterým říkají security preview. Měly by tam být opravy, které jsou připravené k vydání v příštích měsících, ale Google je z nějakého důvodu blokuje resp. zatím poskytuje jen VIP (asi s NDA). Máš to zapnuté (systém - aktualizace)? Jsou stable. Přikládám screenshot zranitelností, které tím opravují - všude jinde to opraví až za několik měsíců...
Still free tonight? Join me for my talk "Access Denied: Being left out by Design" 🎙️
In response to d*sign week's central question, 'For who(m) is the making?', this talk illustrates how design and development choices can unintentionally hinder access. Providing an introduction to the fundamentals of accessibility, attendees can discover how small adjustments have a significant impact.

These are the sounds Remy the dog makes when he's playing with his favourite squeaky elephant. Apropos of nothing, I seem to be getting less recording done here lately.
Hahaha. Ridiculous bloody dog. I can't work out whether he loves the toy desperately, whether he loves chewing it but is bothered by the squeaking noise or... what.
@jcsteh He goes to find that toy a couple of times each evening, so I suppose he likes it. This doesn't happen every time he has it though. NO idea what the variable is yet. Haven't managed to dig up much data on squeaky elephants.

If you wanted to monitor a website but specify a different IP address than the one in DNS and have it only affect that one test, how would you do that with your monitoring tool? It should use the correct hostname for SNI and the HTTP Host header. Can you?
I can do that easily with my stack, but I can't picture doing this with Nagios and other common tools. Not to my recollection anyway
@sun np was just wondering out loud. I only remember with Nagios every single minor test modification requiring you essentially define a new version of a test/check with your custom parameters and it sucked balls
