Welcome to the RB family, Image Toolbox 🥳

What we thought to be non-RB turned out to be just non-deterministic. Luckily we know how to deal with that in most cases, though we'd prefer Google fixing the underlying issue 😉 (and yes, there is an issue open with them)

I get introduced to a lot of (to me) new apps during your "welcome to RB family" posts. A nice side-effect ^^.

Will try this one - I used Imagepipe up to now.

Edit:
Looks like Imagepipe needs less permissions, which jumped into my eyes in Neo Store ( apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… )

@Smojo Always nice to have a list to choose from. And to sometimes find interesting things on it 😉

Heute Nachmittag wurde eine Radlerin am Heumarkt von einem Porsche angefahren und durch die Luft geschleudert, als sie am Maritim die Fahrbahn querte.

‼️ Die verletzte Frau ließ ihr Rad zurück und flüchtete, obwohl sie eigentlich ärztliche Hilfe bräuchte.

Aufgemerkt!
Auf der #MakerFaire in #Hannover wird eine Studentin von mir ihren aktuellen Stand zur Erweiterung des #OpenBikeSensor präsentieren. In Zukunft soll auch die Messung von #Luftschadstoffe|n während der Fahrt mit dem #Fahrrad möglich sein, um Streckenabschnitte mit hoher Schadstoffbelastung für Radelnde zu identifizieren.

Kommt vorbei in der Niedersachsenhalle an Stand 3 - sie freut sich über Input. Am Samstag bin ich auch vor Ort.

I always kinda hated this one. I think the point to businesses is real, sure, but it’s important to note that the term “hobby” is used somewhat derisively here. Open source developers and maintainers often see their projects as contributions, not hobbies. I feel like when we accept this narrative, we’re accepting the lie that the only legitimate software is software produced by and/or produced for corporations. I’m not willing to give businesses that monopoly too.
in reply to manchicken moved!

@manchicken I've seen this strip often and never once have taken the use of 'hobby' to be in any way derisive. Such projects may well be professional-grade or better, but that does not mean that it's not a hobby for the maintainers. And there's nothing wrong with that at all.
in reply to Elengale

@elengale @manchicken the original xkcd 2347 strip does not use the word "hobby" anywhere though. My version use that as a reference to a comment on my blog a while back. The phrase in the lower right is a direct quote from that.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

@manchicken Whoops, point taken. It's been a while and looks like I took the edit to be pretty convincing!
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Honestly, I'm really glad you kept it open and free to use instead of taking such an important thing and cashing in on it like some other softwares have done.

Thanks a lot!

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Kinda funny, on friday I literally replaced curl in a codebase with.... curl.

Just a different interface to still use curl. 😅

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Out of curiosity, what's the other solid block just below #libcurl? #TianoCore? Actually, can libcurl run directly on top of #UEFI APIs?
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

OK. Then we should redraw the picture a bit to show that there are multiple kernels, multiple TCP/IP stacks, multiple TLS libraries, but only ONE libcurl.

Variety above and variety below, but one solid block in between, used by virtually everyone.


in reply to JP Mens

caddy is a go program, go programs belong to the modern kind the kids do where everything is static. So caddy can be downloaded with just curl, no bash required... =)


The funding of critical open-source projects of our everyday lives has becond increasingly important. The Sovereign Tech Fund has set out to improve the situation with various programs that assist these projects as @polexa explains.

We're thrilled being joined by @bagder who shares his experiences with maintaining the #curl project and the STF.

New from me: I was at the Made By Google event on Tuesday—and even went home with a Pixel 9—but Google also this week announced a few new accessibility features built on AI.

I wrote a short piece about it.

What is a Braille Printer/Embosser? Why is it So Important in Accessibility? allyant.com/what-is-a-braille-…

@jorgeapaez1994 I should be charged with a crime for promoting the use of Braille embossers? What planet are you from, exactly? In addition, Braille, hardcopy or electronic, is very much alive. While Braille displays have definite advantages over hardcopy Braille, not everyone has access to Braille displays and many people enjoy reading a book or magazine embossed on paper, not to mention using embossers for things like restaurant menus, Braille handouts for meetings, convention schedules, etc., just as sighted people enjoy reading material on paper as opposed to an eReader. Oh, and by the way, while the article I posted wasn't intended to promote the use of Braille embossers, I certainly have no problem in promoting them and I can and will promote whatever technology that I choose to promote. You don't like it? Put your big boy pants on and deal with it or Block me.

@jorgeapaez1994 Braille is not an irrelevant language. In fact, it's not a language, period. It's a way for blind people to read text in their native language. Also, if we kill off Braille, you have condemned the deaf-blind community to illiteracy and done the exact opposite of what you claim you want to do in that deaf-blind people would now become computer illiterate. For that matter, killing off Braille would put the entire blind population into a state of complete illiteracy. I'm not normally this harsh but you're either a troll or you have no idea of what you're talking about.





@storm What were the results of the NVDA experiment we did a while back with Wine? We might potentially get the battle.net launcher working if it was successful, and add that to #audiogame-manager. Was doing some experimentation earlier with Lutris with the help of @Lironah but think it might be portable enough to get working.
in reply to Billy

Wouldn't shutting it down stop it? And did we document someplace how to set it up? I didn't see anything on the wiki for audiogame-manager.
in reply to Hunter Jozwiak

No, it's mostly in the experimental stage at this point, plus with eh problems introduced by wine 9.X, I'm not sure it would even work any more. I think there's a script in AGM to set up nvda in a bottle.

What will the Foundation do to protect projects at the heart of Matrix? How do we determine what those “core” projects are? And are there any projects that don’t belong at the Foundation?

Tell me you don't understand Capitalism without telling me you don't understand Capitalism

in reply to Janneke

I'm confused. Do you think Apple or Cory Doctorow aren't understanding capitalism?
in reply to Bubu

@Bubu
That's actually a very good question.

Surely this kind of behavior will speed up our real world Monopoly's end game and while Apple must know that on some level they're probably incapable of acting otherwise, like any other monopoly.

I'm just amazed that Cory Doctorow thinks that it is shocking what Apple does, as it seems hardly anything new, predictable, textbook Capitalism.

@Bubu


I can't remember if I made this #game #recommendation before or not, but the Ghost and the Golem is an interactive story type game, set in a shtetl in the Russian Empire in the early 19th century. The game involves both historical events, such as pogroms, ethnic and class tensions, and fantastic elements. Depending how you play it you may encounter no significant fantastic elements, or a lot of them. It can be played on a browser, and it is text-based, and accessible. choiceofgames.com/ghost-and-th…

Hey Jamers! 👋

Didn't catch Dev Update #11?

No problem❗ We've summarized the key points for you. 😍

in reply to Jami

1/n Hi Jami devs. Is there any problem with chat synchronization in your applications? I am asking because for almost a two weeks I am experiencing something like that. Both apps, the android one and linux (Arch) desktop one can not properly synchronize ended and received messages. Moreover desktop one freezes after few minutes or sometimes even second after launching. I am also unable to change some configuration options because it hangs so heavy that I must do rebooting entire system.


I love Jami. Really. But, how do I... log in with my existing username? :))

Yep, I lost my previous device and I just can't use PIN from another device)

Hi 🙂 , I'm sorry you experienced and i understand this is frustrating. Unfortunately, if you hadn't already linked your account to another of your devices before losing it, I'm afraid that recreating a new account is the only solution. Due to Jami's distributed structure, we don't use a server and therefore don't host your data or account. Your account is only stored locally on your devices.

Three hours ago #Github released an "AI Autofix" feature: github.blog/news-insights/prod…

Now their entire system is completely offline.

Oops.

in reply to David Palmer

A man sits alone, slumped at a desk, his knuckles pressed hard into his eye sockets. He is the last remaining employee. All the engineers have been made redundant.

"Copilot, please fix our production system", weeps the #Github manager, as desperate tears leak through his hands.

"Certainly, sir, I will apply the recommended hot patch immediately" replies the system, and yet another indicator flashes red on the status page.



Hello #accessibility experts and #screenReader users. I am trying to find out a wordpress addon that might provide self-hostable and screen reader accessible reservation system. The features I am looking for is ability to integrate this with google calendar or any other caldav based self-hostable calendaring solution. Email notifications for both visitors and administrators is a plus. I need this to be accessible to both visitors as well as administrators.
Also recently I think I have seen a mention of croutfunding campaign where the aim is to build open-source accessible booking system. I'd be happy to look at it too if you can remind me of it.
