„Wir wollen keine #Digitalisierung, die alles macht, was sie kann – von der #Arbeitnehmerüberwachung bis zur #Gesichtserkennung. Wir wollen eine menschenfreundliche Version der Digitalisierung. Wir wollen insbesondere auch eine demokratisch mitbestimmte Digitalisierung. Unsere Gesellschaft entscheidet bewusst, bestimmte #Technologien zu nutzen und andere auszuschließen.“

Thomas Wiggins was blind & #autistic #AfricanAmerican born into slavery who became a virtuosic pianist & composer.
He also had remarkable memory & mimicry skills. He was not only able to memorize & play back complex musical pieces but to imitate animal sounds & entire conversations.
Athough exploited by his owner he was one of the most celebrated Blk concert performers of the 19th c. but is virtually unknown today

interesting #fediverse and #opensource news out of Germany
"BundesMessenger is open source, as is Matrix - the underlying communication protocol on which it is built. Matrix is a decentralised open standard for real time communication; so it can easily support large-scale federation across Germany’s public administration while supporting full sovereignty of the application and the data."

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

😽 Hi. I'm Ginny. Before I block you all, here's an intro:

In 2017 I was targeted by the nazi terrorist group Proud Boys. That resulted in things like death threats mailed to my apartment and losing my ability to work. I had to flee the country.

I have no money, can't work (for health reasons, abuse reasons, and visa reasons), no living family, and live alone with multiple chronic illnesses and heaps of PTSD.

Money helps. Thanks.

@archos Ještě ji více otestuji a napíšu o ní. Vyzkoušej i YMusic tady z článku.

Umí YouTube i YouTube Music. Hudbu přehrává i hlasitěji, protože má kodekové úpravy. ☺️ Pro YouTube Music budeš muset možná nastavit zobrazení Beta funkcí v nastavení. Prostředí je i v češtině. 👍

Jsem trubka. koupila jsem upscaler.stockphotos.com, abych vzápětí zjistila, že cs.aiseesoft.com/image-upscale… je lepší a zadarmo 🤦

Co je za chyták otázka: Vyjmenovat díla od Karla Čapka? Nebo jména planet (pochopil bych, kdyby tam zařadil Pluto, ale zařadit do planet Slunce a Měsíc, pak máme ve sluneční soustavě tak 100+ planet (viz odkaz, nepočítal jsem kolik jich je) :D

Babiš je neschopa, teď se na něj provalilo i to, že je to nevzdělanec a to i na úrovni ZŠ.

First video in the "decrusted" series where we peel back the crust of the serde crate is now up: youtu.be/BI_bHCGRgMY. I quite like the format, so expect to see more of these! #rustlang

HarfBuzz 6.0.0 is out with much much faster subsetter (if you create multiple subsets from the same font), faster shaper (for some fonts), variable fonts instancer (no CFF2 support yet), and variable composites (AKA smart components).

hoy me topé con esta app que subtitula el audio del escritorio (linux). Solo en inglés por ahora pero me parece ya muy útil, ¡y técnicamente increíble!

@manu Two interesting puzzles:

1. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg… - the feTurbulence filter in librsvg generates a texture that doesn't tile properly. It's also a bug in firefox/inkscape/resvg; it works fine in WebKit.

2. (No bug filed for this yet) the feGaussianBlur filter in librsvg has a horizontal and a vertical pass, and in each pass rows are blurred across multiple cores. However, for the vertical pass, *columns* are blurred in parallel, and I suspect this creates a lot of cache contention.

The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 16 - France
Staying in the spirit of ticket machines accessibility, France is doing it right, at least in the city of Metz, not sure about other places.
Have a recording of a ticket machine that speaks three languages: French, English and German. Upon pressing a dedicated button above the card read we activate the speech component. Everything that is displayed on screen is read back to us. On starting, the machine greets us in the language of our choice, tells us to insert our travel pass if we have one and reads the minimum and maximum amounts for card and cash payments. The upper part of the touchscreen acts as a navi pad with the left corner taking us to the previous option and the right one to the next. In the lower part, the left corner is "Cancel", while the right is "Confirm". This way we can choose our desired ticket, the preferred payment method and complete our transaction.
The recording is a montage of different clips from the machine indicating a chosen ticket in English, through its welcome message in French and German with the latter going through some ticket options, coming back to the full welcome message in English. The recording is peppered with occasional Polish from me as it was originally recorded for our Polish podcast. It was taken using the built-in mikes of my Motorola One smartphone. Now that I listen back, it sounds kinda condensed.

The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 16 - France
@sillyblindharper Those aren't as relevant in some European countries as blind people are elligible to ride all of public transport, except high speed trains for free. France is clearly not one but Poland, Germany and Czech Republic are some examples where we don't have to buy tickets. Nevertheless, for the benefit of tourists or blind friends and relatives helping the less technical users of public transport, those should be accessible.
