@adam Well I have this issue since a few days so try later is, uh, not sure when. I mean their CDN is Cloudflare, I guess that says all, good or bad :p.
Yup. Millions of people with no basic background or formal understanding of terrorism studies being duped by the ultra-sophisticated tentacled Hamas propaganda machine that mainstream media and global outlets lack resources and integrity to discern and expose. Including terrorist journalists.

*Termux @termux pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app) then proot-distro login --isolated debian su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config
To track state-sponsored malware and combat the stalkerware of abusive partners, you need tools. Safe, reliable, and fast tools. That’s why EFF’s Threat Lab is proud to announce our very own tool to download Android APK files, apkeep.
#arti does work on Termux natively without the need for proot. Its not packaged as it is still under active development and we would want to provide such security critical package only when we believe we can do so without any anti-effects.
I am probably getting old, but the idea to cram in lots of events in Brussels the entire week before FOSDEM is not getting my thumbs up. Or well, you can have them but I won't be there.
A regular FOSDEM already wears me out on its own. Being at the European Open Source Awards on the Thursday before FOSDEM is stretching it but I will do it.
Adding *more* events to my agenda that week would probably kill me.
thumbs up, though, for knowing your limits and what you want to do with your energy. (I definitely need to be better at that myself whenever I'm at a conference or trade fair.) Find a nice spot in Brussels to relax in between the awards and what you want to see at FOSDEM. Get up Atomium and enjoy the view. Eat a waffle.
@zipkid In many cases it's just the least-bad option if you want to hold an event and get maximum attendance... the side-events are things that, in all likelihood, just aren't going to attract as many people if they had to travel for that one event.
It is exhausting, no doubt. I mostly got off the travel train in 2018... I do miss seeing people in person sometimes, but I do not miss the flights, hotels, etc. Major kudos to confs that do a good job putting up streaming sessions and videos shortly after the event. FOSDEM in particular is excellent about this.
source: have planned post/pre-FOSDEM events in the past.
yeah, I realize it's really a first-world problem and of course people do this with the best of intentions and there are plenty of awesome events before and after FOSDEM
My vocational school class is going to the cinema next Friday, actually, not even just the class, several other classes from the school. Our English teacher was (apparently) able to select a movie from the catalog. But, guess what, oh no how sad, the film has no audio description, but but, we even asked the cinema, so sorry, we need to find an alternative for you. The alternative is that while my classmates to whom I already am separated thanks to several other factors of my disability enjoy themselves next Friday, I'll be sitting at the office (being given the time to work on school stuff), and of course I don't have to stay the full time. You know I'm not even angry, this was totally no surprise to me but it's so fucking ridiculous.
Great example for separation of disabled people. You know that office is gonna be empty because all the other people are at the fucking cinema? I have to be driven to the office by somebody, cuz of course the bus situation is utter shit here as well, will do everything but work, that I can tell ya, and then have to waste literal money for a taxi to get back home. Oh yeah thanks actually I don't have to pay the taxi myself. I hope I get proven wrong and either my employer just lets me stay home, or actually does something useful with me. Otherwise I'm just going to waste money and time.
Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt... Seriously, all my sympathies. It isn't even worth the headache of getting annoyed, it's just people being people. What I used to do, particularly when the whole class was canceled and the day wasn't worth the effort was just to take the day off/arrange for an illness if I could. Again, I know how annoying this is.
@techsinger Oh yeah that's for sure. Used to do that more often in highschool, here you have to proove/go to the doctor on the 1st day, at least for vocational school. My mom's doctor so yeah, no issue at all. She's generally cool with that kind of stuff but meh, not going to play that card yet. First wanna see what my employer says.
@techsinger Thanks. So how can I imagine this? Do I put it like over/on my phone or carry it separately with myself. I have the Logitech MX Keys Mini when I want to operate my phone with a bluetooth keyboard but these seem, idk, much smaller? Like how can I imagine the workflow with these?
Yes, these are much smaller. There is one you can put over your phone for the iphone, I believe clicks.tech but am not sure to what extent the thing will work on Android. As for the units I mentioned, they aren't cases. You could always buy one and return it if you don't like it. They're basically the size of a few TV remotes side by side and have keyboard keys on them.
Turn your smartphone into a productivity machine with Clicks. A premium keyboard case with real buttons, more screen space and customizable shortcuts for iPhone, Pixel and Razr.
@techsinger Yeah true. I got one for 16 bucks. We'll see wether it's actually useful for me and I can integrate it, if not as you said can just send it back. But typing is really kinda meh at this point so maybe htis oculd work out for some situations, especially now that I have a strap to carry my phone with as well.
You are correct, I think, this is a personal thing. All that matters is your workflow, if it's the best keyboard in the world according to everyone else, but doesn't work for you, then it's a waste and should be returned. You may also want to have a look at the folding keyboards, which are quite interesting. Microsoft had a universal folding one but I believe it's discontinued. There's always the Keys2Go 2 from Logitech, it's very thin but doesn't fold. It does, though, support multiple devices. There are also the ones from IClever and Protoarc. As I said, other peoples' views aren't too important, what matters is what you think after having seen them.

The attitude of people feeling like they should be able to report a security bug although their understanding of the topic is lousy is crazy.
The amount of explaining to people you have to do as a first level bug bounty triager is brain numbing. And with a C library you are probably in a good position because you scare the worst bug hunters.
This one is notable in that the function actually exists and would trigger the problem described if used that way. No hallucinated stack dump or non-existent function names.

"An Open Letter to All Linux GUI Toolkits: Please Use File Chooser Portal."
Re-inventing the file chooser for each toolkit (rather than for each desktop environment) makes file choosers really inconvenient and hard to enjoy using, in my opinion.
NOt sure what's that all about Apple's "automation” attempts or even the iOS ”shortcuts” app, but it certainly doesn't feel like fun to create anything with them. Donno, perhaps it's a VoiceOver experience, but I equally find that a lot of the system prefs and features are not even properly exposed to take advantage of. Feels like a half-baked product feature to me!

LOLOL Doom: The Dark Ages won the accessibility innovation award? WHY? They have no accessibility settings that are innovative. South of Midnight and Assassin's Creed Shadows, which are also not particularly innnovative, still put in more effort than Doom. South of Midnight deserved the award, at least they tried. What a damn joke.

Wow. Tonight I discovered Pathé discs. This might be the only rare audio format that techmoan hasn't covered! Anyone got a good video or podcast on 'em? #audio#Pathé#history#youtube#peertube
@cordova5029 They're like...flat discs like on a gramophone, but instead of played from the outside, they're played from the inside. And instead of using a disposable needle, they use a shiny steel ball that bounces along the grooves and makes the sound that way. So no needle to replace. And the grooves are cut up and down, rather than side to side. Also, the ball places less wear on the record than a needle would. Unfortunately it didn't catch on outside of Europe. While it was a better system, before electronic amplification, the ball meant it was quieter than systems with a steel needle. So it just lost out because all anyone cared about was volume.
If an URL is in the form of `HOST/p/article-title`, the changes that it links to the nazi bar are high. Sadly a few other platform also use that scheme.
"The last 2/3rd inch XYZ camera I personally owned was this one." where "this one" is a link to Amazon. No other detail.
Several camera rumors websites do that. Not only it's shitty, but it often rots completely as it might just be a search query on the lookup for referral fees.
