Holy crap I just randomly ran across the way to disable those annoying "Log In With Google" prompts that appear all over the web.

1. Go go myaccount.google.com/data-and-…
2. Scroll way down to "Apps and Services"
3. Click on "Third-party apps with account access"
4. Uncheck the "Google Account sign-in prompts" option.

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with #FDroid and the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:

A little demo of my #Gothic #blind #accessibility #mod. If anyone here knows what #Gothic by #PiranhaBytes is and wants to help me (maybe)? Feel free to drop me a mention!
P.S. The polish version of the game is the only version I own, hence the Polish demo.

Yeah you seem to make quite an effort of #CommunityMetrics to measure the state of the project. I've seen them presented in multiple LibreOffice talks over the years. If others here want to step up their #Community #Metrics game they should take a look at the #CHAOSS community chaoss.community/ They define relevant metrics and develop software to measure and report them. And they are very open and welcoming.

Browsing Github last night, I came across two interesting, potentially accessible open source projects related to radio.
1. Salamandra Radio - an automation software for station in its early development. Screen reader specific fixes have been mentioned in the release notes and so were hotkeys, although these do not seem to be documented anywhere; the app starts in Portuguese by default but a change to English is possible in the settings; also buttons in the toolbar do not seem to be labelled but upon focusing them, a tooltip is read out so we can go by those to tell what the buttons are doing.
github.com/ocarolino/salamandr…
2. Axios - a simple radio player supporting the Radio Browser API. It is accessible in a similar way as Salamandra, allows for searching the directory, playing whatever is found, and controlling the volume.
github.com/z1lvis/Axios
Feel free to explore, hack, spread the word or do whatever else you usually do in such cases.

@christopherklay you can and I can, and I bet @downey can as well. But many users are simply lost at that point. Furthermore, if faking the agent does the trick, the blocker was entirely unnecessary.

And as for "using multiple ones": I do that for multiple reasons. One of them is "compartments" (yes I know "container tabs", but what's in different browsers is an entirely different beast).

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅

@IzzyOnDroid I completely agree that the blocker is pointless to begin with.

My point is mostly that simply having a user agent switcher installed that solves any of these issues down the line, is the easier solution compared to opening the page in a different browser every time it happens.

After all, the majority of people isn't running multiple ones, or is even logged in (if needed) in a second one.

I wanted to thank Tiana Lea for the photos were taken at State of Open Con 23. For the amazing collection of photos of open source leaders: openuk.uk/photoexhibition/

Tiana also was around for the whole conference taking photos of participants stateofopencon.com/

I am now using one of her photos for my social media headshot. I am wearing my CivicActions jacket and a “Make things open, it makes things better” t-shirt care of @Edent

Hey, Prudential ... a 13-digit PDF password may prevent casual / amateur cracking when nothing is known about the target ... which may match your threat model / business case.

But it only slightly slows down an informed attack.

Assuming only that the target is less than 123 years old ;) and knowing nothing else ... just two lightly optimized attack masks will crack it on a modern rig in under five minutes:

-1 01 -2 0123 ?1?d?2?d19?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
-1 01 -2 0123 ?1?d?2?d20?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

INVESTIGACIÓN | El Gobierno andaluz adjudica a dedo 117 millones a hospitales privados acogiéndose a un decreto para contratos covid ya derogado

banks, crypto

"Silvergate and Signature were the two main banks for crypto companies, while SVB had a lot of crypto startups and VCs as customers....“Near-term, crypto banking in North America is a tough place. However there is a long tail of challenger banks that may take up that slack.”"

idk, announcing that you're stepping into the space left by Silvergate/SBNY/SVB right now seems like a good way to get regulators & short sellers to take a very close look at *your* capitalization & compliance? will be interesting to see if any other banks are willing to stick their heads up over that parapet 🤨

If you could see in X-rays, one of the brightest things you'd see in the night sky is the Vela pulsar. It was formed when a giant star's core collapsed about 12,000 years ago.

The outer parts of the star shot off into space. Its core collapsed into a neutron star just 20 kilometers in diameter. Today it's spinning around 11.195 times every second. As it whips around, it spews out a jet of charged particles moving at about 70% of the speed of light. These make X-rays and gamma rays.

The Chandra X-ray telescope took a closeup movie of the Vela pulsar! It shows this jet is twisting around:

But the most interesting part of all this, to me, are the 'glitches' when the neutron star suddenly spins a bit faster. Let me tell you a bit about those.

@enkocz se rozhodl i pro Václavské náměstí odemknout své články, které přinášejí čerstvá svědectví o tom, co má Rusko na #Ukraine na svědomí, neboť vztek, nenávist a agrese často plynou z nedostatku informací.
