Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.
Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA.
Good morning all. How is everyone doing? It's a little after 6 a.m. here. It's 18 degrees outside, with a wind chill of 5 below zero. We are definitely not used to this kind of cold. My poor mom had to step outside for a minute, and she said it actually hurt. I just had breakfast. Scrambled eggs with cheese and toast, as one of the soft foods I can tolerate. Most of my nutrition right now comes from medical food shakes. Now I'm back in bed playing Evolve Incremental. I might rest for a bit, since I'm feeling tired and have a mild headache. We have a very full house today. Four dogs and 24 cats, with most of them indoors because of the cold. My mom is doing a lot of refereeing between cats, keeping them out of trouble, and watching for the ones who like to pee in the house.
I've had a toothache that comes and goes for the last little while. It reached new excruciating levels last night, and I essentially became nonfunctional for all intents and purposes. Finally got some sleep, and feel a little better this morning. So, today, I get to see what my options are for dealing with this while outside of network.
If childbirth is the most painful thing a woman can experience, then a toothache is the worst thing a man can experience. Totally sucks beyond sucking for sure. Hope you can find a way to figure it out without having to go bankrupt.
wasnt the libxz backdoor only put in the released binaries, not in the source? Not that I would have found the backdoor either way, I wouldn't have found it by behaviour either.
@mvgorcum it was "in the source" insofar as the backdoor was in the repo, but it wasn't in source form just hanging out with convenient /* begin backdoor */ markers.
So if I put all 4 lord of the rings books, 4, including the hobbit. Altogether, and it equals 58 hours. This is the fan made version I collected over the years.
@fosdem is less then a week ahead! And this year, we will have a #stand there presenting our #opensource #secure #router - we are bringing #OmniaNG! This time we are joining forces with other opensource projects by #CZNIC. For example #Bird Looking forward to all the discussions we will have in #Brussels! See you there!
Look what I found. A Web site to look up RSS feeds from a URL (assuming the URL supports them.) If there are better alternatives, I'd love to know about them.
What a weird little escapist chapter this is. Definitely welcome as I think I have been watching too much news as of late. Also, now I know how to enter a hash tag with braille screen input. #TheWanderingInn #Chapter8.66
Alltag mit einer Behinderung ist auch, wenn ihr länger als ein Dreivierteljahr auf einen Therapieplatz wartet, und dann die Online Tests zu Beginn der Behandlung nicht machen könnt weil die nicht barrierefrei sind, und das Ganze dann abbrecht.

So, now I'm wondering, just wondering, how Fast Player would work with text RSS feeds. I love most things about Blind RSS, but for some reason, his updator doesn't work for me. I do love being able to read feeds in full without leaving the app like that though
Man hat ja häufig das Problem, dass man sich große Vermögen schlecht vorstellen kann. Hier ein Versuch, das zu umgehen.
Wenn eine Pflegekraft Vollzeit arbeiten würde, bräuchte sie 971.428 und ein halbes Jahr, um das Vermögen zu erwirtschaften, das die BMW-Erb*Innen Klatten und Quandt heute besitzen.
Das ist dreimal die Zeit, die der Homo sapiens existiert oder die Hälfte der Zeit seit der Erfindung des Faustkeils.
Wir bieten dir Unterstützung und Hilfestellungen rund um das Thema #Matrix. Egal ob technische Unterstützung, Serversuche oder generelle Fragen zu Messengern, komm gern vorbei!
Kyle Rittenhouse walked up to police carrying an assault weapon during protests in Kenosha, then killed people, and Conservatives called him a hero.
Alex Pretti filmed officers during a protest, kept his handgun holstered, was wrestled to the ground, had his weapon taken away, and then was shot dead, and Conservatives are calling him a terrorist.
Has anyone managed to get steam installed on a mac? I keep seeing errors about it being damaged and needing to be moved to the trash. I've tried every fix I can think of but nothing seems to be working.
Contributions of governments to #OpenSource are often unsustainable - fragmented, short term subsidies, feature work or new things. Nothing shifting billions of tax money from Big Tech to open source!
The public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model. Commit to deploy these & shift real procurement money!
Debate me at #FOSDEM - between 12:55 and 13:40 on tis. Get involved!
Just tried #FastPlay. Wow, just wow! I'd like some more enhancements, but it seems to be very, very decent. At least, for a nitpicky guy like me who basically doesn't like anything except for Winamp and 1by1, FastPlay is definitely a thing to keep. Thanks so much @Bri! And special kudos for not using Python this time 😜 As every C++-based solution it's painful to build, but it's native which is a huge plus for me.
even then, I made it super easy to build. You must only do three things. Make sure visual c++ build tools is installed, run downloads-deps.bat and then build_new.bat
Oh yeah, right, you have a download script also! Anyway, thanks so much for global hotkeys and speaking of times, like remaining time is a must for me. Only a small thing: you probably need to implement a custom hotkey input, it doesn't recognize Windows. I.e.: try Add global hotkey, then Play/pause, then try to press Windows+F8. You'll get just F8, without the Windows modifier. Although I saw in code you process it correctly.
Thank you for such recommendation! I couldn't use the latest Winamp due to complexity of it's interface and that it didn't want to play m3u files I switched to VLC but I am not satisfied with it so I would happily choose something else.
Thanks to the people who boosted my posts yesterday concerning the FastPlay audio app. A lot can happen in 24 hours so I have updated the two posts which I will now boost. I will then leave it for a couple of weeks to see if anything else transpires as I will not keep updating them.
Today I would like to introduce you to another audio player for Windows. As I understand it, the developer originally wrote this for his own use but has decided to share it. I am very glad that is the case. The player is called FastPlay, so if you've been paying attention as to what is going on, you will know that this comes from the same developer as the social media client Fast-SM, which many of us are now using. That tells us two things: the app is going to be excellent and suggestions are very much considered.
This is a very small, lightweight, audio player. That means it is designed to be a small file size to download. That is important. I downloaded an app recently which contained approximately 5000 files comprising 500 MB which was absolutely crazy for the job at hand. This is just over 2 MB in size. In order to describe some of its features, I can do no better than quote from the Readme file. Fastplay is a very lightweight, simple, yet powerful and flexible media player for Windows. It is designed to be accessible, minimalistic, yet powerful, all at the same time. It is also very small, and fast and responsive. Note! Fastplay is not designed to be a replacement for a complete media player. Rather, it's designed to be a small, lightweight media player that you can either use seriously or for fun! It has a vast list of effects including an EQ, reverb, echo, tempo/pitch, stereo width, and more, which you can adjust in realtime. End of quote. I think that may have been the case when that statement was written, but it has evolved into including some very nice options indeed, such as: Completely configurable Global hotkeys. The ability to have the screen-reader speak events through keystrokes, such as elapsed time, remaining time etc, Control+Shift+E and Control+Shift+R. Load all files in folder when pressing Enter. You are able to set default file types. All of these are achieved through the Options dialog and there is an extraordinary amount of configuration in there. Bookmarking of playback position in files. A Radio menu currently allowing you to add stations if you have the URL. Searching for stations using various sources is also available. RadioBrowser is a very good starting point. The ability to record the output from stations. This is a nice one. Some of us have used Tapin Radio for this previously. But the accessibility of that over the years has been somewhat questionable. Of course FastPlay is completely accessible. Not only that, but you can schedule recordings too. It is possible to search for (and subscribe to) podcasts using Apple's iTunes directory. The vast majority of podcasts can be found there. The facility to add specific URL's pointing to podcast feeds can also be added. There are many more features which you can explore and customise through the options, activated with Control+Comma. End of Part 1.
FastPlay Part 2. If you do not wish to have the track title and artist displayed in the window title, this can be disabled, again in Options. However, you can press numbers 1 through to 0, above the letter keys, to cause the screen-reader to recite playing characteristics. For example when listening to an internet stream, press number 1 for the song title and artist. Add the Shift key to any of those numbers to display the information in an edit field for checking spelling or copying to the clipboard.
One interesting concept is the Virtual Sliders. You can configure which options appear as part of the sliders through Options, Effects. The concept is that you press the left and right bracket keys to move between the effects, then use up and down arrow keys to adjust the focused effect. For example, if Tempo was enabled, a good option to adjust for listening to talking books or podcasts, you would select this with right bracket and adjust with the up and down arrow keys.
This app has only been available for a few days but like Fast-SM shows an enormous amount of promise. If you've been using other players and experienced navigational difficulties especially, it is worth serious consideration. Take a look at Options, Control+Comma, as a starting point because there is so much configuration you can do. I've already extensively customised it myself. You can obtain FastPlay at: github.com/masonasons/FastPlay…
@bebop All of these consider the freedom of the individual to be far more important than any consequences for society in general.
In the case of the FSF / EFF, it's the freedom to run an entirely custom software stack on any device of the user's choosing. This is something relatively few people care about, just as relatively few people care about concealed carry. However, locking devices down is important for scam prevention and to prevent "evil maid" attacks, and most people want that a lot more.
To my neighbours, how can you use 2 drills at the same time for several days over weeks. Get your shit done how many holes do you wanna drill, we can fucking hear it.
Not entirely related thread, but one problem I see after looking at Conversations again recently is that it is difficult to get in contact for new users. There is a QR code scanner button at the top, which is good, but getting your own QR code to show is hidden behind 3-dot-menu -> Manage accounts -> Account details -> Share -> Show QR code.
The other part of onboarding is creating an account, can also be improved but is otherwise ok compared to adding contacts.
The last menu "Invite to server" what exactly should be (I have no spare phone to test)?
Is there something in common with the Great Invitations recently added by @zeank to Ejabberd?
Because the generated xmpp URI by this menu looks similar like if I create invite from the command line.
Also, my IBR are disabled and no one can send great invites except me from the command line. So in my configuration this menu should not work (as I expected)?
Yes, the 'Invite to server' triggers the "Great Invitations" aka Easy Invites. Prosody and Snikket have that and since recently ejabberd as well.
This is exactly for small, family and friends deployments that don’t have open registrations.
I’m not exactly sure how the access control looks like on ejabberd. Maybe only the admin can trigger easy invites. I guess theoretically there are also deployments possible where all users could trigger them.
I need to get a proper YT proxy front-end going (I might install my own Invidious, but we'll see) I am slowly switching EU-based services where possible, but it's not a requirement.
oh my. 5 hours of debugging and updating and trial and error later, and I discover that the version of libvips fwoof.space's server was using was somehow not built with png support among other things. Needless to say, videos and images (both uploading and viewing) now work again, after months. If an image or video doesn't play for you, give it time. I have a task running in the background that's grabbing 93551 remote images/videos and is going to take the next 5 hours, but after that we should be good!
Почему Конституция 1993 года оказалась удобной для построения «вертикали власти» — и была ли траектория к авторитаризму заложена в её тексте? На примерах Ек...
И еще одно интересно. "Традиционные ценности" там хорошо описаны. Это в целом странное явление. В области техники примитивизм очевидно невыгоден, экскаватор лучше лопаты. Примитивизм же в области социальных конструкций люди почему-то ценят и провозглашают, являясь своеобразными социальными луддитами. Хотя провести параллель не сложно.
Да, в смысле примитивизма, именно примитивность анархизма или прочих измов для меня всегда является первым признаком того, что это не лучшее решение сложных социальных проблем. Решение должно быть осмысленно сложным, это один из признаков его зрелости и работоспособности, хоть и туманный.
I want a MAGA hat!!! It's clearly my purpose. Same colors, same presentation. But . . . . . MAKE ACCESSIBILITY GLOBALLY AVAILABLE Or, better, MORE ACCESSIBILITY GLOBALLY AVAILABLE.
@MewProjects FastPlay: Sorry if this is already a thing or there's a good reason why it's not, but any possibility of an option so that, when recording an Internet stream, it can save disk space by recording the raw stream as received rather than the resulting decoded audio?
Aha so it basically does an audio capture of itself? Makes sense. In other words, recording happens at the output stage, when everything's been processed.
small grammar/rewrite wording issue in the PR section: "I believe for PRs we have better much means to sort out the weed with automatic means, since we have tools, tests and scanners to verify such contributions."
Oh, actually related: the IBB HackerOne listing still lists curl, should this be removed from the IBB listings as well? hackerone.com/ibb/policy_scope…
Charging people money in an International context is complicated and a maintenance burden.
I think if it does come to this, you might consider requiring a small donation to a charity? This would dramatically reduce the hassle on all sides, and do something good as a bonus.
of course not, but I guess someone could spin it like "they now have incentive to publish buggy code", right? Anyway, that wasn't the point of the post and I didn't want to insinuate any bad intentions, sorry. I'll remove that part.
I'm on the security report triage team for CPython, pip, urllib3, Requests, and a handful of other open source projects.
I'm also in a trusted position such that I get "tagged in" to other open sou...
Maybe submitting a repot should cost something? The people that are confident about their findings would get the reward that easily pays for that. For the slop that's just too expensive.
Looking forward to all the discussions we will have in #Brussels! See you there!
