Announcing Jabboratory, a partner collective of @joinjabber
Jabboratory aims to be for the people who already have an XMPP account and want to help improve XMPP and the Jabber network.

We use the same CoC as JoinJabber and all the same governance documents. All of them being by Vojkruco codeberg.org/Vojkruco/Cooperat… and we are hosted under the Vojkruco umbrella.

Some of the things we do are:
- specifications (called XCSPs in Jabboratory),
- developer help/documentation and implementation collaboration
- improve XMPP/Jabber network socially (safer spaces, blocklists, outreach, organizing events, pushing for a better non-tech culture, etc.)
or anything else that includes improving XMPP and Jabber network as a whole.

We aim for diversity of ideas, include people directly in all aspects of decision making (protocol, implementations, social, etc.) and build a space where people feel safe to talk, ask for help, bring up any kind of ideas and work with others to implement said ideas. By the community for the community with inclusive decision making to serve the people affected.

you are welcome to join our lounge room here -> invite.joinjabber.org/#lounge@…
It is strictly non-tech because we aim for inclusivity, but we do of course have other channels some of them being tech related🙂

We already have some implementations, servers, and XMPP collectives involved (including JoinJabber) and we are all building a better XMPP and Jabber network together 🙂

Happy Jabber Day 🎂 🥳

On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the public¹.

Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.

In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.

Ich hab' meine Archive der alten Blogs ja auch mit Eleventy gebaut, nach einem Tutorial für Eleventy von Andy Bell, das er 2020 veröffentlicht hatte und inzwischen als Open Source freigegeben hat. Das ist das erste Tutorial gewesen von einem SSG, bei dem ich das Gefühl hatte zu wissen, was ich tue. Jekkyl und Hugo habe ich vorher auch probiert und war höchst verwirrt.

L'enlèvement ou l'assassinat de chefs d'état ce n'est pas une spécialité US, la France aussi a fait ça très bien. Me viennent Toussaint Louverture, sylvanus Olympio, Maurice Yameogo, Moussa Traoré, Thomas Sankara ou Mohamed Jaffar aux Comores. Et puis on est assez forts dans le maintien de régimes pourris, tiens, comme il y a moins d'un mois, au #Bénin, le 7 décembre. C'est un peu passé sous les radars.

So I've just pushed a really early version of being able to control a Mac via NVDARemote to the NVDARC app, via a new Be controlled option in the settings page. Note/warning! Due to limitations in VoiceOver, the speech output is going to be less than desirable in a lot of cases, but at the moment, it's the best one can do. Thanks to @miki for igniting the spark in me to actually make this a reality. testflight.apple.com/join/edg8…

#TIL - A Congressman was once sworn in on a #Superman comic book.

Some on the right are outraged that #Mamdani took his oath of office on a #Quran . But at least three #NYC Mayors have been sworn in on a #Torah , several elected officials have used only a copy of the Constitution, and Donald never touched a Bible at all when swearing in for this last term.

In 2023, California Congressman Robert Garcia (D) outdid them all. He took his #OathOfOffice on a #Superman comic book. It was placed in a stack of items that meant a lot to him, including a photo of his late parents and his citizenship certificate. It was a rare copy of Action Comics # 1 (first appearance of Superman) from the Library of Congress, so it did have historical significance.

As a Superman fan myself, I know he was taking advantage of the opportunity to hold a copy of that treasure in his hands for just a minute, and I completely endorse the idea. Buying his own copy would have set him back millions of dollars, but that brief moment of "geeking out" was free, thanks to our National Archives.

Why this congressman is using Superman comic for swearing-in

When Robert Garcia is sworn in to Congress, he will have a vintage Superman comic with him.

I did test that feature on a podcast, but it didn't work for me. I started playing worstofallpossibleworlds.podbe… then I switched to shows.acast.com/itsathing/epis… but it did not remember my spot from the first file. This feature is low priority for me personally, but I thought I'd let you know.

we've built our global economy on the premise that software has a certain bar of quality, which as it turns out was based only on the goodwill of early enthusiast programmers.

now that the market has caught up and erased the negotiation power software engineers once enjoyed, the world is careening head first into a harsh reality of bug-ridden, adversarial software at odds with everyday life.

free software is still our north star. it's more important than ever.

This sums the #VENEZUELA situation up nicely:

For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader:

Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power, has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.

And the President of Venezuela did some bad things too.

Just text saying: For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader: Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power, has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.

Mir ist gerade Leadbelcher ausgegangen und ich wollte morgen malen und alle Rollenspielläden in der Nähe haben schon zu.

Der Herr @leitmedium wettet, dass das Internet™ es schafft mir bis morgen 12:00 einen Topf Leadbelcher zu organisieren.

Dit gloob ick nich. Jetzt seid ihr dran. Oder nicht. :)

Edit: Berlin! Berlin! Es geht hier um #Berlin!

mmh, das hätte ich heute nach Berlin mitbringen können, aber jetzt bin ich grade wieder durch das Zugchaos durch den Stromausfall nach Hause gekommen und fahre morgen eher nicht nochmal nach Berlin rein.

I'm glad that NVAccess management realizes that even though I can get shit like image descriptions with AI 8 different ways from Sunday, that's a higher priority than the fact that I only have *1* way to use my terminal. And that's with NVDA. And it barely fucking works because it crashes so much. Good going folks.

I keep fighting with myself whether I should just go back to Instagram. On the one side, fuck Meta and everything they do. On the other, why bother. Like, I wanna be social, a lot of irl people are there and apparently it's still number 1 when it comes to sharing what's going on in your life with sighted people who can't be bothered to you know, chat the oldschool way. But meh, I need to stay consistent for once, and I wouldn't have a lot of benefit as well. Problem is they just wouldn't care enough to come to Mastodon or Pixelfeed or st.

Removed some followers, bots and inactive alts in particular. Not that I'd want to broadcast my entire life story but I only have this account and plan to keep it like that cuz several are just overkill, and I'ed rather have a little overview who I throw some of my stuff at. So congrats, if you read this you're not a bot and still active, and I appreciate your follow.

Beta 2 of Braille display Calibration tool: Added a pause function, where you can hit P or enter to pause.
I'm still labeling it beta until I know quirks are ironed out for people.
Whether you're using a single-line or a multi-line Braille device, calibrating the dots and a way to clean them by raising, then gently wiping, can really work.
Here at home, I'm testing this tool using the Brailliant BI 40X as well as the Cadence. I have some others here, but these give me a good idea on how well it works for different display types.

This beta adds pause functionality. Fixed checkbox behaviors.

Misinformation thrives in stressful times. I know we all want to share news right now but when you feel the urge to share something on your feed consider asking:

* Who posted this? Are they a reporter, or do they have what looks like a reliable source?
* Have you heard of this news site before?
* Where is this photo from? Did they take it? Could it be something other than what the poster claims? Is there a way you can tell if it is what it says it is?

VoiceUover users who type in languages with accented letters. When I write in Spanish with the Spanish keyboard, I have to hold my finger down on say the an and then drag right to get the acute acute. the not tilde is right there on the spanish keyboard, but you have to drag quite a lot. Is there a VO shortcut to get altogether characters, for example drag down to select?
