I found huge cache of #DOS files. They are zip files of old programs, utilities, documentation, code examples, code libraries, you name it. It's called the Garbo FTP Archives and here is one mirror of it: ftp.lip6.fr/pub/pc/garbo/pc/
To get a good idea of what is there, download INDEX.ZIP, unpack it and you'll find a file with all the files in all the directories and a one-line description of each.

The files are split into dozens of folders, here are the folder descriptions: ftp.lip6.fr/pub/pc/garbo/pc/DI…

"Schools are slowly becoming extremely reliant on a few large companies’ entire technological stacks in order to operate. In turn, these stacks are reshaping what schooling is and could be, and exercising unaccountable control over students, teachers, administrators and content providers alike".

A year ago I started working on supporting GL Textures in the rusty @GStreamer Paintable @GTK Sink and now its merged 🎉
This should dramatically reduce the CPU usage consumed and allow for zero-copy rendering when used with hardware decoders.

As the hype for #decentralized systems (e.g.: #mastodon), where no could buy the whole service, continues, I want to also introduce decentralised #communication.
Ever heard or tried a #matrix #messenger? A new, decentralised protocol of communication to allow multiple participants join the network with different clients and servers. You can choose whatever fits you best. You probably wanna start here to try it: element.io/ (Get a client, choose a server)

Embloggeration happened, in which I look at the state of the #Python bindings for the #GNOME platform

If you like Python, and you want to use #GTK to write your applications, please consider joining the effort to maintain the PyGObject bindings.

@amolenaar The current documentation generator for C is based on pygobject's own 🙂 Having the introspection data and docs be the shared source of "truth" for doc generators benefits every language. Ideally, pgi-docgen should be fixed to parse the new gi-docgen "smart" links to allow cross-linking.

From a hosting perspective, being able to build the Python docs on GNOME infrastructure would be great: more people would be able to work on it and keep it up to date.

Tak i NVidia má bezpečnostní problémy ve svých ovládačích :D

Doporučuje se aktualizace na nejnovější verzi dané větve ovládače, např. v případě větve ovládače 525 to pak je verze 525.60.11. V Ubuntu daná verze je k dispozici, alespoň jsem rovnou přešel z verze 515.

Es ist für Verantwortliche Zeit, der Realität ins Auge zu blicken: #MS365 ist nicht datenschutzkonform nutzbar. Macht aber nichts, denn es gibt längst Lösungen im Bildungswesen, die sich bewährt haben und die Daten der Schüler schützen. 👇

Das Motto heißt: Endlich raus aus der digitalen Zwangsjacke! 💪

#Accessibility for the #Blind advent calendar: day 2 #Switzerland - open the content warning to discover the interesting fact for the day
When I was 9 or so, I discovered that one of the cineplex complexes in Poland operated a phone line with an IVR system that would let you explore the entire schedule of currently running movies. This was my first means of accessing information independently and on-demand. I was the movies expert in our house at that time and with movies like "Shrek", "Matrix", "Starwars" and "Harry Potter" coming out this was the time to be alive. I dreamt then that we will be able to access all of the info we want through a telephone. Turns out that's what #Switzerland is doing right now.
Voicenet is the service of the Swiss Union of the Blind, where you can call in and receive all the information you need to access culture, shopping, receive advice, benefit from the organization's services etc.
Some things you can find there:
- the current supermarket prospects with all of the weekly discounts and special offers read by volunteers;
- TV and radio schedule, including information on movies with audiodescription aired throughout the week;
- traffic and construction works;
- rail schedules;
- signing up for the Union's events;
- a voice forum where users can ask for advice and exchange information;
All of that provided by volunteers and an editorial team in three languages: German, French and Italian with the ability to navigate through content E.G. jumping from beverages to dairy products with the phone's keypad.
I realize that things like the NFB Newsline exist but it seems that, as Switzerland is a much smaller country, it is easier to offer much more local information.

@JonathanMosen Interesting! Is there anywhere I could read more about it? I also like the idea of voting by telephone that New Zealand and Australia have: so brilliant in its simplicity, yet so few countries embraced it.

The internet has turned into a surveillance machine. 👀

Only with encryption, we can make sure that our data stays safe. 🤫

"Generally, I don’t think rich people believe anything besides: 1. they are basically good; 2. they deserve their money and no one should take it; and 3. anything that threatens ideas 1. and 2. is bad. Everything else is pretty flexible."

Bit more attention now in the press to ‘spay clause’ 104 in the Online Safety Bill. This is what we are sounding a ‘red alert’ over. Index on Censorship acquired a legal opinion by Matrix Chambers saying it would contravene two articles in ECHR. Building on @openright aanyalsis and briefing. If you are in the UK take action and start causing a fuss. inews.co.uk/news/politics/onli…

We are the front line of a global war on encryption. If we can’t fend off this sort of mass surveillance in a liberal democracy then all of humanity gets put in a darker path towards authoritarianism - look at people fighting against surveillance states in China and Hong Kong to see where this goes! #onlinesafetybill #privacy #clause104 come on fellow Brits.

As the fediverse grows it becomes more difficult for new #fedi projects to get the attention they deserve.

That's why we started fediverse.info and fedidb.org, as well as use our following to boost and bring attention to new projects (DM us).

We feel obligated to do this because we know how hard it is for new projects and established developer egos.

We're all in this together, let's support each other ❤️
