The EU’s Next Generation Internet programme has supported free, open source software for years. But now a silent death seems to be looming: An internal document suggests that financing may soon end. Developers are surprised and call for the programme’s survival.
It's the worst.
Some of my cannier friends have bought AT&T plans and "roam" in Canada for a fraction of what our local plans cost. I can get better data plans for a couple of euros in any European airport than I can anywhere in Canada for any amount of money.
A new version of MapComplete is out!
This one features many bugfixes, such as not having blank screens on Chrome and some error recovery. Critical errors during data uploads are now logged remotely, giving @pietervdvn some insight in what happens and which allows some data recovery.
Furthermore, a #barbeque and #firepit theme has appeared: mapcomplete.org/fireplace

And they say the world is getting more accessible.
Looking into osquery and I tried their curl module. Doesn’t work with my network setup at work, which seemed weird because curl works just fine.
Turns out curl is just another word for a Boost based lightweight HTTP client.
curl means curl. Not “Invoke-WebRequest” and not “Boost based HTTP client”.

So instead of talking about preference and necessity, let me try to talk about process and outcomes.
Civilization involves preferring the process to specific outcomes. (Democracy, law, all the stuff that says you're trading immediate advantage for indirect advantage because that way, on the odds, you don't die of starvation or violence or preventable disease.) Hold a vote, hold a trial, accept the outcome as a necessary part of maintaining civilization.
It's about 1:30 AM here, and I have a procedure for injections in my head and neck to help with headaches and neck pain around noon, so I should really be getting to bed, but I find new #tech so hard to walk away from. Can anyone relate?

Glad nothing more serious came of it.
Looks like I am asking all kinds of questions. OH well, here goes. I'm on the hunt for resources, tops and tricks, and any information which folks might be willing to pass on regarding the use of Visual Studio Code with a #ScreenReader. Asking for a friend... for real. Any help greatly appreciated.

@MostlyBlindGamer @NVAccess I'll be using simplified language for this reply since I don't know skill levels. Visual Studio Code, or VScode, is very different from Visual Studio. Yes, I agree that them having similar names is silly. VScode is written with a lot of JavaScript and is much friendlier to approach as your first text editor. It has fewer features than Visual Studio, but it will do most of what you need to do and is shockingly accessible with a screen reader: extension management, file browser, notifications, file status, a bunch of other stuff. It can all be accessed either through moving focus from pane to pane with f6 or by using a specific shortcut. Don't know a shortcut? Use the command palette. Vscode can't do something specific? Find an extension to do it. Having trouble changing your settings? Open up the json and avoid any weird GUI dropdown nonsense by editing them directly.
I do Python, JS, HTML, CSS, SQL, C++, and even some C# through VScode. The text editor will let you write anything you want. I supplement it with code formatters/linters, framework integrations, command-line interface tools, and any other tooling I might need for a given project/workspace (an entire IDE in the case of C++ for Arduino in VScode). Visual Studio includes a lot of this stuff in it already, and you can absolutely use it to write your first hello_world.py if you really want, but it's total overkill for that: you'd be driving an 18-wheeler to the supermarket to pick up a carton of eggs.
I would recommend reading the links that @MostlyBlindGamer posted. They are what helped me get started on VScode with NVDA. Also drinking coffee and yelling obscenities at my keyboard for 2 hours before realizing I forgot the semicolon on line 211.
Ill and miserable, sniffing and coughing. On the sofa watching Netflix because my brain stopt working.
Damn, I was planning to write some nice documentation today.
Hooray for hours of public transport and the post WordCamp flu.
The first meeting of the newly updated GNOME Foundation Board is just starting. We have one group in Denver, one in Berlin, and others participating remotely from home.
This is the board's annual meeting, so we'll be appointing officers, forming committees, and figuring out what we want to do for the next year.
Bossa doodle on the @journeyinstruments guitar with @ToneWoodAmpMagicrecorded on Meta smart glasses
One good evening I pulled out my @journeyinstruments guitar, slapped the @ToneWoodAmpMagic onto it, put on Meta glasses and had a short jam!Sorry, it's just ...YouTube
Since I can't really play instruments here, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a guitar to leave at my parents' place. The amp is about as much as the guitar was, from what I'm seeing online.
To Recap:
•Calls for mass deportation
•Accusing "illegal aliens" of stealing American jobs
•Repeated promotion of the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory
•Accusing a Sikh speaker of "witchcraft" & "demon prayer" w/demands she be deported
•Accusing Vance of opposing "white identity" because his wife is Indian & he has mixed kids
•Zero rebukes from GOP leadership to any of the aforementioned racism and white supremacy
The 2024 RNC is indistinguishable from a KKK convention. Prove me wrong.
