NVDA stopped reading characters when I pressed the arrow keys, so I restarted it. Then it stopped reading text at all in the Thunderbird composer, so I restarted it again. Then my alt+tab stopped working, so I restarted Explorer. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I feel like I can't do a single thing on any one of my computing devices without encountering an accessibility or usability problem. I feel like I'm going insane.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says robots are 'AI immigrants' that can address labor shortages — can 'do the type of work that maybe we decided not to do anymore'
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said that a wave of robots will serve as "AI…
Powered by hallucinating slop machines that gobble up power and water, they will be used to replace workers who then can't afford to eat, never mind buy those "rebellion-free slaves" that can be targeted by hackers.
@feld No! But it turns out that's one of the things that we *can't* automate—fruit/veg picking for many species is problematic because they produce is too delicate for machinery.
10 years ago that used to be true, yeah. But every year now we check at least one of those crops off the list that people said were impossible to automate
@lain @feld Every day I wake up with the fear of getting replaced by robots and then I remember that a robot cannot put tiny fibers through conduits and rack up servers half my weight. Every day I wake up with the fear of getting replaced by AI when writing code and then I see it write code that does X and say it does Y and Z.

No matter how secure a system is in theory, it must be put into practice. After all, information security is not a value in itself, but is intended to protect people from unauthorized access to their data.

It's so sad I'm now even more stuck in a loop than I was before. Like, I'm looking forward to the weekend, just to know on monday everything starts again, and that not until some kind of holiday. No, until I decide I take some days off. And I only have a limited amount of days off. Until then, enjoy the 8 hours of office loop. I mean not trying to sound naive or something, yup I guess that's life but I think I'm getting more and more sure that I don't wanna do a plain office/development job my entire life. It's nice to have the apprenticeship and stuff, but I really need to shift fields afterwards, or do something entirely different otherwise I'm the perfect candidate for midlife crises later lol.
I had this same problem within the last year, brought it up to FreeBSD devs, and they were like "huh, yeah, that's a thing" lol I guess nobody wants to fix this
The original yacc had a limitation that it couldn’t complete a parse if the last token was a valid token and required a white space character afterwards. This ended up being incorporated in specifications in a bunch of places. It’s undefined behaviour in C to not end a file with a new line because early C compilers couldn’t handle it. I presume the crontab rule in POSIX is the same. Modern yacc implementations don’t have this limitation and so there’s little reason not to accept things with missing terminating newlines (in both cases, the program is free to accept non-conforming inputs). At the very least, there’s no excuse for not raising an error.
@david_chisnall is this the reason why git will complain "No newline at end of file" as well? Like a hint that you're in for a bad time if you don't have one?

What the hell Whatsapp? Can you please explain why the quality of voice messages recorded with a $300 interface sounds as trashy as it usually sounds with the phone? Telegram ftw...
I just wrote something over on LinkedIn pleading for folks to financially support FOSS projects that they depend upon. I don't know who that message was really meant for.
I must be some kind of weirdo because this LONG nerd-fest documentary is REALLY entertaining to me! It's a history of ARP. I consider myself quite jaded and completely immune to most hype. But if it's got voltage-controlled oscillators and a filter and some interesting modulation possibilities, you can bend my ear and I'll listen!!

I've memorized many parts of #Canadian Charter of #Rights and #Freedoms - part of the #Constitution of #Canada. I like to educate poorly educated 'law enforcement' on actual laws & listing the ones they're breaking while trying to silence #dissent against government corruption.
Canadian government - just like any other capitalist driven colonizer exploitive lying government - violated many citizens #humanrights to satisfy the greed of their corporate lobbyists. They do not want a large portion of citizens to be highly educated. They don't want to deal with a whole bunch of highly educated dissenters. They rule over us better, when they're corrupt as fuck - over poorly educated citizens - especially when some sellout/foolish citizens do their BS PR for them.
If any Canadian is wondering why their provincial & federal governments keep slashing public education funds - this is a huge reason on the why. A highly educated population would be dissenting of unjust government actions. It's that simple.
@bebadefabo Any evidence or just vibes? If this is true, why are the AFD, Reform UK, Marine Le Pen and others of their caliber promising similar things in other countries? This is a global phenomenon, your explanation just doesn't make sense.
This happened 100 years ago when we got radio, it's just that same thing all over again.

Large protests are erupting across Iran tonight. In Tehran, gunfire can be heard as crowds gather in massive numbers. Despite nationwide internet disruptions by the Iranian government, aimed at silencing the movement, footage continues to emerge.

yes, channels scale in ways that group chats do not. In channels, the message size is constant no matter the number of recipients. In group chats message size grows with the number of members. In both cases, if a message is delivered to a hundred recipients on a relay, it will only take disk space once. So overall, channels should have pretty good scalability characteristics.
@bmcd this message might be a leftover from a prior version of the channels. The current experimental channels released with v2.35.0 should remain operable also in future releases. But there remains a tiny chance we need to change things in an incompatible way, so therefore the more careful warning/wording.
I remember when the govt made a law to force porn magazines to have a plastic bag with a black box over the cover images, and now the Government actually endorses a nazi app that undresses girls and spews social discord and disinformation.
A vile social sickness has infected our governments, and they're apparently fine with it.
I got a new multifunction radio, with the ability to receive AM, FM, VHF and shortwave bands, among other things. It can also act as a bluetooth audio device, and when it's switched to Bluetooth mode, it plays a shortened version of the Logon sound from Windows 8 of all things.
Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...
I grew up in highly rural France: 30 mins to nearest supermarket, many unpaved roads, really tough winters. And yet I rarely ever saw SUVs or Pick-Ups.
Because the French have understood that the C15 represents the peak of what the automobile can be. ⬇
#selfhosting week 1, phase 3B bis: Disappointment. Subscribed to a Ionos vps in alternative to Hostinger, but the interface is much, much more complex (I'm referring to the vps and domains management) - thought Hostinger was the worst. But, if accessibility declaration on Hostinger says "partially accessible" giving an e-mail address (not dedicated, it's the generic support), Ionos makes me point to an Italian paragraph where they claim barrier-free then says "for support, contact us through contact form", redirecting to a German accessibility page where NO FORM is displayed. Is it this way to treat customers? Does @fsfe and @EUCommission have something to say? These are fake accessibility declarations. You can't say you respect all customers, when you make your showcase site mostly accessible but most important feature (the vps/firewall management panels) impossible to use. To give an example, the "edit" button for a single firewall rule is labeled as "y", the delete is "]", the add rule is "@" ... Not to say that @yunohost on Ionos creates ipv6 issues, the port TCP 25 is closed and I need to call them with EXACTLY my phone number to have them open the port for me... I must definitely try to talk to them and start the refund procedure. Unfortunately though, Ionos would give me 240 gb hard disk for storage while hostinger, even upgrading, would give me 100. WTF. #accessibility #blind #frustration #selfhost #vps
@menelion I had to listen to my best friend on this topic. "double resources/storage for half the price, where's the trap?" Alex is right once again even without knowing a single letter of Linux, hosting, shared vs. vps, and all that stuff. Another big issue I had, was that you can assign an IPV6 address to your server, but then you must MANUALLY configure it by editing a file. /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/netplan. I found the documentation confusing and it is a very risky operation, you can unblock it through the ionos remote console, but, what about accessibility of that one? It's like a guy telling me we're completely safe, and he has a condom in hand. A condom with braille dots on it to make it accessible. Got the idea? Note for non-braillists: the Braille dots, in paper, are made through a pin which causes a hole on one side, the dot on the other.
Steve Russell—the man who made the first video game—is still alive. Not a myth. Not a footnote. Walking around, same as the rest of us.
In 1962, Russell coded Spacewar! on the DEC PDP-1 at MIT. It spread fast. So fast that it directly led to the formation of Atari. Their first arcade release, Computer Space was essentially Spacewar! shoved into a coin-op cabinet.
Russell didn’t stop there. He wrote the first two implementations of Lisp. He later taught Bill Gates and Paul Allen how to use a computer.
Morning all. Hope everyone has a great day. So, Lee the hospice lady is here again today and we keep trying to find ways to solve my problems. I don't mean this to sound dramatic or anything, but if you're a prayign person adn you have one to spare, say a prayer for me please. I need strength to cope right now. Thanks.

★ Protect profile deletion and relays management with system pin
★ fix problem with quick-camera button in some devices
makes me wonder if anybody ever made an image that, without intending to, functioned as a QR code. Also, any popular apps that can can pick up a URL directly from within a text (without QR encoding) from the camera?
This German engineering isn't for tough winters. The combination of rear wheel drive, tiny space between the wheel arches and wheels and the low wheel suspension makes it impossible to use traditional snow chains. Tried several of them, but going to mountains without any after all, quite a lot of snowfall forecast, it will be a lot of "fun".
@jan it seems like the only ones that work are the ones you can attach from the side without that traditional string behind the wheel. And they're quite expensive. For example the cheapest Pewag offers is for 7k. Great investment considering you need them once a year max. 🙂
Yeah, it's some time my mother had BMW 525, and the only option was about buying super-duper ones for about 20k czech crowns 🤣 just mad! Exactly, usage is just a few times in car lifetime. It might be cheaper to just ask dude with 4x4 or tractor to help. Funny, my sister put BMW X1 into deep snow last weekend and needed a tractor to get out of snow! Never happened to me with my Touareg or Discovery, and yes, I did try a lot with them 😀
@nirik I heard straps don't work, they break and fall off quickly. I considered 'socks', but they are quite difficult to put on, you have to move the car like 4 times. There are snow chains you can attach to the middle of the wheel, but they are expensive. Spending $500 on something you barely use once a year... It's funny that I had the standard snow chains for 4 years, never tried to put them on until now. All those years I had them in the trunk and I thought I could rely on them. It's like making backups without ever trying to restore them and after years you find out you can't. 🙂
Manchmal kotzt mich Mastodon auch sehr an. Post über #Signal Nutzung in #Dänemark. Uhh aber #XMPP kannste selber hosten, muste nur hier kurz noch Plugin für OMEMO installieren, funktioniert die hälfte der Zeit nicht aber nutz XMPP, warum nicht Matrix, hmm?, haha nutzen US Server sind die dumm? haha benutz halt tool xyz das keine Sau benutzt. Meine Fresse..
@daniel ja wars früher als ich Pidgin benutzt habe. Darum geht's aber gar nicht. Ich hab das alles auch benutzt bzw benutze es noch, aber können wir einfach mal das "aber xy ist doch viel besser" lassen, wenn nicht danach gefragt wurde? Dieses nerdsplaining ist nur nervig.
besser/schlechter liegt ja im Auge des betrachters bzw kommt auf den use-case an. Aber Plugins gibt's bei #XMPP seit 10 Jahren schon nicht mehr. Heute ist das App installieren, Kontakt hinzufügen und tut.
@daniel Gajim hat Plugins, sogar sehr coole, aber OMEMO ist schon seit vielen Jahren festeingebaut. Plugins brauchen da nur noch power users bzw. nerds.
Btw. ich habe gar keine Posts zu Dänemark und Signal gesehen. Worum geht's denn überhaupt? Lebe ich hinter'm Mond?
In this latest #curl release, we are now three persons having our names on >10,000 lines of product code when doing git blame. @icing, @vsz and myself.
10 separate people have their names on 1000+ lines.
I seriously wish there was a way to uninstall a program gotten from the Microsoft store. You can't do it via programs and features, nor can you do it through any third party programs. I mean, did it ever occur to these guys that maybe, just maybe, somebody might want to take a program off their computer?
@lerven I tried that. Had to go through the unnecessarily complicated procedure of looking for it in settings. There was no option to uninstall in the start menu entry's context menu.
@lerven Funnily enough, only programs bought through the Microsoft store don't show uninstall options in start menu for me. I'm using classic shell, but it's only microsoft store programs that do that.
