Hey! Guess what peoples? I almost have 12000 posts. That's a lot of posts! I've accumulated all of this in a little over 3 years. This means that, on average, I post a bit less than 4000 posts a year, provided I did the math right, which I probably did not. If someone wants to do more accurate math, I believe I joined this instance on October 30, 2022. Or something like that. So have fun with that if you like. Lol
It's really funny to me how the amount of autism and dry humor in our family means that we will get into a big group text conversation and someone says something and then one of us is like, "Wait, is he kidding?" And then the other autistic person is like, "I think so?" And the first autistic person: "Oh, I knew that?"
And I literally can't tell who is being sarcastic or what
(but it's okay because everyone is nice - unlike growing up, when missing sarcasm meant DOOOOM, heh)

This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of staff on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.
Any #GameDev folks have any experience working with both #playdate and #pico8 (and/or #tic80 fantasy console)? I’m curious if anyone has first-hand experience with trying to work on a project with shared #lua code that works in both environments but has each using its own resources for input handling, graphics, and sound.
Specifically looking for tips, best practices, learned experience, etc.

If you haven't been able to see my posts for a while (I mean, you should consider that a blessing/feature, but I digress) it was because apparently my firewall was doing something strange with the Spamhaus DROP list and blocking connections it shouldn't have.
After receiving several reports that people couldn't connect to my services and I couldn't find them on the official list (didn't search my pf table, sadly) the problem went away after I disabled and re-enabled the list.
How did that fix it? Only the magic smoke inside the machine knows the answer
Really interesting how the Black Panther Party came out in opposition to the murder of Renee Good, and not a single “White Lives Matter” or “All Lives Matter” or Gadsen Flag etc. person has shown up. Really interesting.
Wowy-wow! I love your version of I'm a Little Teapot! How would 1 go about making songs like that? Is it Suno, or are you just that good with instruments? *smile* In any case, thank you for sharing it. It's a bit of a bummer that it's only an instrumental, but that doesn't diminish from its overall awesomeness.
Okay, so rant of the day: I think it's great that people develop apps and such to make things work better, IE mastodon, bluesky, etc, but for the love of it all, can't there be a place to actully find them without having to use the someone who knows someone who know someone else so you might, maybe, they'll consider, giving you the link? I mean, I got the mastodon one today with no problem, (thankfully I knew the right people), but now I'm googling a telegram one five ways to Sunday and getting nothing. I get that we as people who are blind are a small population, but damn, that doesn't mean we should have to play virtual hide and seek every time something new comes out.
I actually echo this sentiment. There's probably a really cool damn app that someone made somewhere that I'm not using because I don't know about it's existence.
so, in iOS 26, is there no way to see your browsing history in Safari? pre iOS 26 that option was in bookmarks, but no longer. I can still see it in Safari for macOS naturally, but not iOS.
Google: "We found that this gambling ad doesn't violate our policies against gambling ads, but you can personalise your ad experience to block the kinds of ads you don't want."
Me: "So, can I block gambling ads?"
Google: "No, we don't allow gambling ads so a toggle to block gambling ads doesn't make sense. What are you talking about?"
A student in their final semester who has been checking out a laptop from us every week their whole time here just came up to return, not renew, one because they could finally afford their own and they wrote up a testimonial to talk about the positive impact it had for them.
There is a lot, way too much, bullshit at my institution, but these little moments where we get to really see what the library can do for a person is what keeps me in the fight.

So this is really bad. I know. But y'all I feel better these days than I have in years. Why? Because LLM's not only make me feel like I'm doing things and making things, but they actually do make things. Slowly yes, with lots of answering questions and guiding it, but it really helps.
So now I have Emacs with Emacspeak on my Android phone, working on an MUD client, got accessible Lemuroid so I can get TalkBack descriptions of games, about every thing I could ever want besides some Braille stuff. And when I get tired of all the Emacs stuff, I'll try and rangle BRLTTY into accepting Contracted Braille input and try and get a Braille Access-like mode going. And then see if I can get BRLTTY to work as well in Termux as it does in Linux. Like no joke, LLM's have opened this up to being a possibility for me.
Now I get it. These are just nice-to-have things. But shoot y'all, it's freaking fun!
Hm. How did you get a mud client working on android? that one I'm super interested in. Not so much emacspeak, but a linux shell that wasn't utter garbage would be nice.
@fireborn TalkBack will speak (usually) only new incoming text, terminal window is explorable by touch, line by line, you can hit volume keys for control or FN, with state announced, and focus tracking sometimes works. Enough for reading info files and nano.
In November 2026, a historic milestone awaits humanity's Voyager 1. The legendary probe will reach the "one light-day" mark, meaning it will be so distant that communication requires a 48-hour round trip!
Audio descriptions are necessary for making videos accessible. They narrate the crucial visual elements that would be necessary for understanding the plot without the ability to see the screen. They describe non-verbal cues like gestures, facial expressions, or eye contact.

The latest episode of 99% Invisible is pretty good, but had a moment near the end that I found super valuable. (30: minute mark)
They discussed the value of being senior and reaching out to younger folk in the field to give them support. Going from "I don't know how to do this" to "My way is how to do this" to finally "There's a million ways to do this, just do it better than I did" is one of the most rewarding things. You never know the kind of impact that you will make, particularly if you were successful.
Identify the folk that will move the folk forward and do what you can to support them.

⚔️ Der Deutsche Presserat hat sein schärfstes Schwert gezogen: Für ihre falsche „Skandal“-Story über angebliche Geheimverträge zwischen EU-Kommission und NGOs erteilte er der WELT eine Rüge. Diese muss sie nun auf der Seite des Artikels veröffentlichen – was bisher nicht geschieht.
🔎 Bei dem Artikel handele es sich um eine „gravierende Irreführung der Leserschaft und einen schweren Verstoß gegen die journalistische Sorgfaltspflicht“, urteilt der Presserat. Das ist ein äußerst wichtiges Signal, auch für alle anderen Medien!
📣 DIE Welt muss die Rüge jetzt dort veröffentlichen, wo auch die gerügten Artikel stehen. Aber bisher hat sie das nicht getan, auch unsere Emails beantwortet sie nicht. Damit darf sie nicht durchkommen. Für ihre Verletzung des Pressekodex sollte sie zumindest gerade stehen.
🔁 Helft uns, den Post zu verbreiten und Druck zu machen, damit DIE WELT die Rüge auch öffentlich macht!
Der Deutsche Presserat hat die Springer-Zeitung DIE WELT für ihre Berichterstattung über Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) gerügt. Damit reagierte er auf eine Beschwerde von uns.
Announcing The Linux Command Line Seventh Internet Edition and Third Print Edition
Good News Everyone!
I have just released the Seventh Internet Edition of my book. Along with the Internet Edition release we're just a few days from the general availability of the new print edition which is based on the aforementioned Internet Edition.
I read chapters of an earlier edition to decide whether I could recommend it to aspiring members of the Linux community. I've been enthusiastically recommending it since then. I also notice that this edition is a tagged PDF file, which will make it more accessible to readers who use screen readers (e.g., people who are blind or who have low vision). You can find out whether a PDF file is tagged by running the pdfinfo command.
