Maybe this (and the #catholicchurch forcing him to publicly revoke his findings) is why somebody decided to steal this part of his body when he was moved years after his death.

#ElementX nutze ich schon länger parallel zu #Element für meine Chats.
Nun habe ich aber das neue #SchildiChat Next ausprobiert.
Es basiert auch auf ElementX, hat aber #Spaces integriert. Das gefällt mir sehr gut. Damit lassen sich z.B. Chaträume übersichtlich ordnen.
#Matrix ist für mich nach wie vor ne gute Sache. Ich würde es auch WhatsApp-Wechslern eher empfehlen als #Signal ... vor allem auch, weil man sich damit nicht vom Smartphone abhängig macht.
Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.
Finally figured out how to do a release on Github. It's confusing but I guess it has security advantages... Anyways I don't really provide support for this, but I use it every day, mostly with media player classic for streams. I dunno what else I need , for this thing accept for splitting the source code into files, so there's less load for people looking at the thing who aren't me. Just thinking about it for a while. github.com/serrebi/Accessible-…
This is the first executable release. You can still build newer source from the github using the instructions I've included. You must download the conf file from the Github, if you want channels to...
@Piciok This is just a playlist browser at the moment. Just don’t see the need to implement a media player, or features like that actually into the thing. I believe VLC, and media player classic support switching audio tracks if your provider has that. I’ve never seen a provider that has audio description. Please give me one if you have one.
@Paweł Masarczyk @Brandon Vow! This looks amazing. It turns out it almost 100% works fine on linux with orca as well. I just need to tweak player selection a little. I am already creating M3U8 playlists with local content for my friends, so this might become awesome tool for them. The fact it can handle EPG is great too.
@Brandon I think in the simplest form possible, there is no need to build. Installing the dependencies including wxpython and sqlite is enough for directly running the python script.
I have another question, you have bound events when changing the selection of the listboxes on the main window and you are also handling arow key presses. Overriding up and down arrow keys affects selection reporting on linux. Navigating with page up and page down keys is working fine and it's accessible. Nawigating with arrow keys makes accessibility worse. Simply removing handling these key presses makes it work fine for me. Is there a reason you have implemented it like that please? CC @Paweł Masarczyk
@Brandon Oh yes. You are so great and the update is working fine over here. I am surprised you are making these tweaks on such a rapid pace. Originally I assumed I'll look into it and this is excelent outcome. Really a big thanks.
One more little thing I have discovered. I can't activate the menubar by pressing alt key or F10 key on linux, thus I'm googling if I can make it work.
Most Linux things suffer from that accept for Mozilla things if I remember correctly. Maybe there's something I can do I don't know. I'm glad it worked out. I'm just vibe coding this thing. It surprises me I continue to have a working product/haven't axidentally put the wrong conf file up on my Github.
@Brandon Damn, you have really made my day with such a simple and working app. I am thinking about other little features such as ability to use either kodi or mpd (music player daemon) or even generic upnp devices (such as smart TV) over a network as a player. Kodi and MPD appear to be doable easily, generic UPNP I have to research. I think I'll try to calm down my-self from the excitement a bit and I'll try implementing these next weekend or so.
@pvagner UPNP is a good idea. I might implement it. I want to add looks for executable for Linux for a few players, and Mac players as well, then release another exe.
@Brandon I am just thinking out loud again. There is a command line client for MPD called MPC and a different one for kodi called kodi-send. These may not be that readily available on windows I am not sure. So given all of this I can't decide between trying to come up with a generic template for an external players so we can add our own into the config or bother with networking stuff.
I am fixing all the media player paths and adding mac support, but UPNP will come once I split this into a few different files, sso I can deal with it affectively with AI. I'm kind of mixed on adding it, but I plan to add airplay/chromecast/UPNP as well. I don't know if it's worth it. I just want to send the URL's and if the devices can decode it that's it from me. I don't think this software is as required on MacOS, but it's not much effort to get it working aparrently.
Ok I have split the thing up. Took me a few goes to get a version that seemed to work. Let me know if anything is broken. At some point I want to remove the big version.
@Brandon For me it's all working fine except of that menu bar thing on linux. Setting that environment variable is the only way I have found it working.
Oh, and unfortunatelly that exception on exit is back when running main.py...
TypeError: invalid result from IPTVClient.Destroy(), a 'bool' is expected not 'NoneType'
The traceback on exit is fixed. I am working on environment variables being included for popular Linux distro's. Wonder how this will go for you? I'll be away for the afternoon though.
@Brandon Excuse me for the late reply. All is working fine for me on arch linux now, except of the fact, setting up environment variable NO_AT_BRIDGE disables screen reader accessibility for wxgtk and with this variable setup, the app is no longer accessible with orca. I haven't looked at the other variables but my guess is that except of UBUNTU_MENUPROXY we don't need setting up the others.
@pvagner Is the app accessible on arch by default now? Or should I remove the variable for everything accept Ubuntu? I'm just trying to understand what you are saying.
@Brandon Yes, now it's all working for me out of the box. So to summarize I think the variable UBUNTU_MENUPROXY is usefull for all the distros including ubuntu and arch linux. Thanks for such a dedication. It's awesome.
@pvagner I'm now using Asahi Linux so I'm debugging more on Linux. I had to limit results on Linux because Orca and AtSpi would crash. Even with 50 results it still slows down... I'm still happy it works at all cross platform. At least I made some progress with the problem.
@Brandon The traceback on exit is now solved. Unfortunatelly the custom alt key handling does not appear to work for me here. I think trying to reimplement it from scratch is difficult. I have discovered setting an environment variable like this in the main function before starting the wxpython app makes it work for me.
os.environ["UBUNTU_MENUPROXY"] = "0"
In fact, I have sent you a pull request right when mentioning this issue here, but you might have overlooked that. Of course it no longer applies, so feel free to close it.
The media should always be vigorously defended from cynical politicians seeking to hide their bad actions or poor policies but it's also true they need a reckoning when they fail at their very core purpose of exposing the full facts of the day & creating an informed electorate🧵 #abpoli #cdnpoli #Wildfires #pipelines #Climate #ClimateChange

@pietervdvn totally, i had a look at what you do on mapcomplete to add conditionnal parts of the edit form, we can add a lot of parts but the hard task is to find people running shops that would be ok to test the form :)
I feel that you will be slowly re-implementing MapComplete and will have to learn all the lessons that I did...
For example: what happens someone wants to update their shop. They search for it, but 'cause it renamed a few years ago, they don't find it and add a new POI?
Another really interesting question is: what are you trying to achieve that MapComplete currently cannot do?
@pietervdvn yup, i also checked other projects that aims to help complete things in osm, like OSM My Biz, Projet Du mois, Maproulette or Complete Tes Commerces complete-tes-commerces.fr
We wanted to have a tool that provides:
a way for us to contact shop owners by email to suggest them to complete their place in OSM and follow up on this
a way for people to complete data about their shop, office, restaurant, which are mostly unfamiliar with osm. it should help fill the fewer things possible
a tool that does not require to make an OSM account for everyone
a dashboard to help places complete their data on OSM with a unique link
a dashboard to have a borad view about completions in a certain zone
a way for shop owners to reach people of OSM France to get help
a way to know what are the difficulties to fill the form by people unfamiliar with OSM (hard, because discouraged people will just leave)
We wantad also to focus on a small set of fields requirements to consider a place to be filled, AFAIK we have no way to filter what is displayed on mapcomplete in a custom link for example. Mapcomplete is a great tool i used at mapping parties and in other moments, but the chaining and followup around reach by email and zone related community dashboard are the points that decided me to launch some other thing.
1. Is that the email address that is also published on osm.org? Or are those emails kept private? 2. MapComplete can do this 3. MapComplete _could_ be configured to have an anonymous account (nowadays even trivially, a link with sign in is even in the settings). However, Anonymous contributions hurt in the long term, see source.mapcomplete.org/MapComp…
This is something you are mostly sidestepping by still requiring an email address
MapComplete - MapComplete is a webapp which allows to use and update OpenStreetMap within thematic maps. This repository contains all of the source code.
4; 5: dashboards are indeed not a goal of MapComplete. There are a few, but 🤷 6: MapComplete has a link to the Osm Community index 7. Interesting topic, for this I do usertests every now and then
It is possible to setup a slimmed down theme for shops (for me). A URL parameter that disables some questions is also something I can code up...
I do think the main issue is about the hurdle to create an account; I guess you'd want a system that people give their email address and can just start mapping...
@pietervdvn thanks for these insights, and yes the adresses we aim to use are the one provided on osm only, we are doing stuff to gather them from legit sources to put it in osm before really show this tool to owners of places.
Re: «deficiencies of "package URLs" (#purl) and how they still don't actually work to identify all and every project»
PackageURLs aren't really suitable for identifing _projects_ (a hard task when taking into account how names change depending on context, history and more).
They _are_ suitable for identifying _packages_ – and if you're not in the business of producing, distributing, curating, consuming, verifying or referring to packages, then yes, purls will be of limited use! 😃
Přátelé, tak dlouho jsem sledoval tyhle geniální animace, až jsem autorovi dneska napsal, jestli by souhlasil s tím, že je postupně budu dabovat do češtiny pro zdejší publikum.

@Mendi_Tech @adam he is, but I am not, and that is the same one I saw earlier. no that isn't cheap, but if that fan is ag good as the 560 was that I put in our son's room, it would be well worth it. also adam, one thing you will want to do is measure your window to make sure that fan will fit in it. smile.
@adam I have yet to be disappointed in a Vornado product. I bought one as a space heater for under my desk at work, another as a space heater for here at the house when my furnace went out, and I saved a friend's behind and bought a whole room circulator fan when her AC went out.
@Mendi_Tech @adam our central is out. I think it just needs freon, but trying to save up for that isn't going to happen this summer! lol! try a 120 service call plus what ever is needed for the freon I thinjk the last time it was done back in june of 2022, the grand total was just over 400 dollars. the trailer park paid for it that time, but we aren't renting anymore, we are buyuing the trailer.

Used to test whether Ethernet sockets at my job are PoE enabled by licking the cable. It's used there for Cisco phones so probably no bigger than 20V, though. Also crimped a frankenstein three-ended cable to tap into PoE from CCTV switch while connecting said phone to the main network.
