Does anyone know of a good alternative to sway notification center? The notifications list has become annoying to use recently, and the dev doesn't know how to fix the accessibility issue. I know about ednc-mode in emacs, but that's not exactly ideal. I'd like something I can open with a binding and view a list of notifications. I've tried to use xfce4-notifyd which does work, but because the notification is a window, focus keeps getting jumped to it every time there's a new notification, which also isn't ideal. #Linux #accessibility

SwayNotificationCenter had too many issues for me as well. It is a nice idea, but it needs much more work.

I have been happily using mako (github.com/emersion/mako). With a bit of scripting, I have made it completely keyboard accessible under sway.

@wielding Is it accessible with the orca screen reader though? If it's made in a toolkit that isn't presenting its accessibility tree to at-spi, it's completely inaccessible. GTK and QT do this automatically, but I'm pretty sure that particular daemon is made using something else.

Hey @microg I'd like to thank you for the amazing work you've done with MicroG, I'm using it on a @murena phone with @e_mydata inside, and it's working smoothly !
But I have an important question : how is it legal that you can simulate and reimplement the Google Play Service, isn't it considered as violating the Google Play policy ??

In some rare cases we have to reverse engineer APIs from Google that are not in any capacity published by Google. We do this only if required for interoperability, which is a right provided through laws and regulations in many countries (incl. the EU) that can't be restricted by terms.

This makes all of our doing legal. Google would be able to restrict their services to detect and ban users of microG, but this may cause antitrust issues for them, so we expect it to be unlikely.

@TinaSohl That's nice. I'm glad the right thing was finally done, though it should have been accessible from the very beginning. Wondering how long it'll be until a task-blocking #accessibility regression gets introduced because they're still not shifted far enough left on accessibility.

I know I haven’t created a lot of new stuff lately.

With the culture and changes in tech I sometimes wonder what I should be doing.

I’ve more or less come to the conclusion that people working in tech are craving authenticity and genuine conversations with others that aren’t about the hustle or latest hype.

So I that’s where I’ll be focusing the content I create.

Does anyone know of any tooling to autoconvert bash/zsh completions to fish?

This command doesn't convert bash/zsh completions to fish, but it does give you a lot more completions based on what you have installed:

fish_update_completions

It scans all the man pages on your system, extracts the commands and their flags, and makes it all autocompleteable (with inline summaries of flags).

It might make many, if not most, of those bash/zsh completions not needed?

@mos_8502 alas I know of no such tool but if it does turn out to exist I desperately hope it is called `ichthyolify`

or possibly, when invoked in a mode that does not automatically run functionality checks and also run shellcheck, shortened to `ichthyolo`

Dankenswerterweise ist nicht alles schlecht. Nach meinem urlaub habe ich den dritten Praxisabschnitt begonnen. Ich fühle mich in dem Team extrem wohl und konnte auch schon ordentlich was konzeptionell beitragen. Allerdings muss ich auch sehr viel lernen. Beispielsweise war mir der Unterschied von Antirassismus und Rassismuskritik nicht so ganz klar. Aber lernen, das gilt grundsätzlich, ist ja positiv. Gerade, wenn es um sinnvolle arbeit geht, die man damit machen kann.

@SandiPavkovic Ich hätte nach Denis' Antwort gedacht, dass die Rassismuskritik bestenfalls dem Antirassismus eine Grundlage gibt, damit man ihn nicht nur aus einem Gefühl der Ungerechtigkeit heraus vorantreiben muss. Bestimmt kann man mit ihrer Hilfe auch Punkte identifizieren, an denen man ohne sie gar nicht ansetzen würde.

@SunDial79 @SandiPavkovic Antirassistische Positionierung meint tatsächlich, dass man selbst nicht rassistisch ist und sich dem entgegenstellt. Rassismuskritik hingegen erkennt an, dass schon die Sozialisierung hierzulande rassistisch geprägt ist, man also nicht vollständig frei von rassistischen Denkmustern sein kann. Hier, also bei einem gesellschaftlichem Wandel, der auch die weiße Mehrheitsgesellschaft und die Privelegien in den Blick nimmt. (1/2)

@SandiPavkovic Dann überzeugt mich Rassismuskritik stärker. Ich hab mich auch schon bei rassistischen Gedanken erwischt, obwohl ich mich um Menschenfreundlichkeit bemühe. Als jemand mit türkischem Akzent zu den NSU-Morden interviewt wurde und ich die Info verpasst hatte, dass er der Anwalt der Opferfamilien war, merkte ich, wie ich spontan staunte, als es dann am Ende des Interviews nochmal gesagt wurde. Das war für mich sehr eindrücklich über mich.

Die gruppenarbeit des Todes hatte übrigens diese Woche noch ein feedback-Treffen. Der Dozent sagte unverblümt, dass das in seiner gesamten Laufbahn die erste Projektarbeit sei, bei der er sich fragen muss, ob die überhaupt als bestanden gewertet werden darf. Ich rechnete damit und doch ist es noch ein Schlag, sowas so deutlich zu hören. Wenn's gut läuft, bekomme ich wenigstens eine 4,0. Immerhin weiß der Dozent, dass ich mir sämtliche Körperöffnungen aufgerissen habe, um das noch raus zu reißen.

Is your son obsessed with “Lunix”? BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called ” xenix”, which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people’s computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people’s stereos to steal their music, using the “mp3” program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as “telnet”, which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone. Your son may try to install ” lunix” on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional. If you see the word “LILO” during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

Okay, folks, how do y'all use TikTok with VoiceOver? Trying to figure it out but all I've discovered thus far has been (metaphorical) pain and suffering. Any assistance appreciated.

PS: is #accessibility given any sort of priority over there? If so, any leads on people to contact would be great.

I just started using it last week so there may very well be other things I may not be aware of, the app is kind of garbage but here’s some things I found out about to make it easier. Firstly in the accessibility settings there’s an option to display some additional buttons if VoiceOver is on, you obviously want that turned on which it already started out being for me. That adds a bunch of buttons running down the right middle of the screen to like, follow, read comments and so on, as well as previous and next buttons at the top as an alternative to manual scrolling. By far the biggest annoyance to be aware of is that for some reason with VoiceOver on when you touch some parts of the screen or do some actions that cause a screen change like following someone or opening the sharing screen, it’ll scroll you back to the top of your feed unless you’re holding your finger down to prevent the focus from moving. This is why so many people prefer to scroll with VoiceOver on, which isn’t as bad as it sounds because the video takes up nearly the whole screen. With VO off, single tapping the video pauses, while double-tapping likes it which is accompanied by a haptic. Then if you want to do anything else you turn on VO then immediately start touching the screen where the buttons are so it doesn’t scroll you to the top. For the website, which in some ways is better, there are 2 decent ways to browse the feed. One is just going by graphic which will automatically play the video and the buttons to like and so on will be immediately below, or an even better way is to open the comments view from any video, find the dialog that pops up and then scroll with either down/up or the next and previous buttons. The advantage to doing it this way is you can also rewind and fast forward the video with right/left arrows and you have immediate access to comments.

Hope this helps. I got a lot of this from @talon who’s been using it for a lot longer than me.

No creo que necesitemos más pruebas ya de que el lawfare existe aquí como en los EE.
