Is #WhatsApp introducing #ads the last straw for you?

Consider using #Prav instead, which is:

🗳️ community-driven, so you can push for features you like, and, more importantly, vote against changes you dislike!
🆓 freedom-respecting, so you can fork the code to make things work the way you want
:xmpp: standards-based, using the #XMPP protocol
🌐 part of the federated #Jabber network, so you can switch apps and instances without having to drag everyone else along with you!

Udělal jsem na #VHSky playlist s vysvětlujícíma videama o principech, na kterých funguje #Fediverse

Byť je to všechno anglicky, možná se vám to někomu bude hodit, až zase někdo přijde s dotazem "a co to jako je?" :)

Zatim tam je #Mastodon, #Peertube a #Fediverse obecně .. pokud někdo potkáte další videonávod, sem s ním :)

Jo a samozřejmě klasicky sdílejte, než to smažou!

Pondělí: Zelenskyj informoval, že Rusové v rámci vyjednávání v Istanbulu nabídli, že vymění unesené ukrajinské děti za zajaté ruské vojáky. Ukrajinská delegace prý přinesla na jednání seznam 400 dětí, u kterých požadovala jejich okamžitý návrat domů. Rusové měli odpovědět, že zajistí nejvýše deset dětí (čímž přiznali jejich únos, pozn.). Na to ukrajinská delegace odpověděla, že Rusové jich unesli na dvacet tisíc, na což Rusové odvětili, že „20 000 ne, maximálně několik set“ (čímž opět jejich únos potvrdili, pozn.). Vše je podle Zelenského v oficiálním zápisu z jednání. Zelenskyj označil postoj Rusů za naprosto nepochopitelný a zcela v rozporu s veškerým mezinárodním právem. A ve stejném duchu bude i další zpráva facebook.com/dnesnaukrajine.cz…:

When a user who hasn't logged in to the system before (i.e. doesn't exist in the authd user database) logs in via SSH, the user is considered a member of the root group in the context of the SSH session. That leads to a local privilege escalation if the user should not have root privileges.

Hi everyone, two small bits of news from us today:

1) Hot on the heels of yesterday's 2025.1 release, there's a minor point release - NVDA 2025.1.1 to fix an issue which affected some users (updates for both those on stable, and those on RC / Beta branches): nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2025-1-…

2) We've re-enabled taking NVDA Certified Expert exams (we froze them while we were having those site issues): certification.nvaccess.org/

For my latest, I wrote about the people who are crowing about accessibility vis-a-vis Liquid Glass when nobody gives a shit about accessibility 99.9% of the time.

I’ve been here the whole time!

The US is no longer the technological leader of the world. While our scientists are screwing around with boner pills and fake AI girlfriends, Chinese scientists are building thorium reactors and EVs that charge in a one minute.

Seriously, wtf are we doing?

#OpenSourceSecurity chats with @Di4na about his blog post explaining hobbyist open source maintainers

Whatever you think you know about open source, you're going to learn something from this one

An enormous amount of the open source that runs the world is written by hobbyists, and how we can support them is not at all obvious or easy

Regarding #NVDA, I'm getting really annoying freezes with #Thunderbird chat interface. I already filed a bug with Thunderbird for this: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

But NVDA seems to be the one freezing, with logs that look like this: controlc.com/0f66d484

Anyone has any clue what to do and where to file?

After reading this thread, I don't want a new Mac anymore. I do wish there were posts like this going over Android and Windows' accessibility frameworks, but I'll take what I can get.

@matt Well, is it as much of a mess as MacOS'? Undocumented, single-threaded, all that? Granted, I didn't get much out of all that system programming language, but the single-threaded stuff, locking threads for VO to figure out all the things it *can't* work with, and definitely the 20 year old depricated framework sounds like a nightmare for both Apple and third-party developers.

I'm all for a mask ban at this point if it also applies to ICE and any other LEO -- otherwise, pound sand.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub I clearly didn't communicate well there - sorry. I was clumsily trying to make the point that it's bullshit that we have officials calling for mask bans on protestors while ICE and others are covering their faces.

LEOs should not be entitled to masks to hide their identities while trying to strip others of masks for any reasons. I should be, if I want, entitled to be anonymous at a demonstration - government actors should not, since they're able to enact violence as part of the job.
