Another cool nextcloud data loss issue closed with the remark that it is the "responsibility of the user" to prevent that case from happening.

I'm being responsible by telling you to avoid using nextcloud unless you're in a fully managed computing environment. 👍

Estoy metido en una idea un poco rara. Hacer tutoriales de mates accesibles a personas ciegas. Los principios:

Notación en ASCII lo más puro posible.
Explicaciones desde el principio, y desde los principios, magia mínima, todo lo que se pueda probar se prueba.
Una guía de notación en cada página donde venga toda la notación que se usa.
Accesible. Libre. Gratis. Para siempre.

De momento solo tengo configurada la plataforma para hacerlo realidad, pero tengo curiosidad por saber si a alguien más le puede interesar, como usuario, contribuyente, o ambas cosas.

Mi primer ejemplo: definición de límite a que converge una secuencia: mates.isonomia.net/conceptos/l…

Se admite, y aprecia, cualquier tipo de crítica.

Privacy‑Preserving Age Verification Falls Apart On Contact With Reality

The simple solution to crashing birth rates is to tax billionaires and make basic living affordable. It's not that difficult, but the rich are more worried about their own bank balance than they are about birth rates. As usual they want to blame everyone but themselves for the problems they create.

No, skoro bych řekl, že na té radikalizaci něco bude... #greendeal novinky.cz/clanek/ekonomika-po…

Povolenky zasáhnou ty nejchudší, lidé se zradikalizují, varuje ekonom

Příchod emisních povolenek pro domácnosti přinese velkou finanční zátěž pro obyvatele. Jejich cena by se měla minimálně zastropovat, jinak způsobí silný růst inflace a nejvíc dopadne na sociálně slabé rodiny.

V jiných zemích to řeší tak, že ty vybrané peníze dají těm nejzranitelnějším, aby to na ně nemělo takový dopad. Samoživitelka na vesnici, která potřebuje auto, aby odvezla děti do školy a dostala se do práce, dostane příspěvek, který ji ty zvýšené náklady pokryje. Platí se to právě z těch vybraných povolenek. Proč o něčem takovém nemluví naše vláda a lidi slyší jen o těch zvýšených nákladech?

@fersman Jo, tohle je samozřejmě naprd, ale s tím si musí poradit. Nemají mluvit o ničem jiném než o tom, jak pracují na tom, aby to ty zranitelné nezasáhlo. Pokud se nechají vtáhnout do debaty o tom, jestli to ještě nejde zrušit, nebo jestli ty povolenky spekulativně nevyletí nahoru apod., tak se to rozmělní a média si z toho vytáhnou, co potřebují.

⚠️ More scam posts are spreading lies! (see attached screenshot below)

To set the record straight:
- You do not need to verify on Mastodon
- No legitimate Mastodon admin will ever demand you verify
- No legitimate Mastodon admin will ever ask for your bank card details
- There are no monetisation features on Mastodon
- There are no extra features for verified accounts on Mastodon

If you see a scam post, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", and select the option to forward the report too.

Screenshot of the latest scam post with label overlaid saying "Scam! Do not click!". The actual text of the scam says: Subject: Account verification required Dear User, Welcome to Mastodon. To ensure uninterrupted service and more features, as well as to obtain official status and enable monetisation, we kindly ask you to complete the verification process below.

So there's a decades-old mechanism (and actual standard) how programs lock serial ports on unix-like systems in /var/lock. it's used in practice even in 2025 and #systemd >= 258 simply breaks it with "we don't care". I am not a systemd opponent, but that kind of behaviour [without a prior community-wide discussion or providing patches for known-affected projects and a grace period] is just alienating users and developers github.com/systemd/systemd/iss… bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep… #systemd #debian

/var/lock/ is the standard interface for locks of serial devices

Will browsers and screen readers respect the #html lang attribute #WordPress allows us to set on paragraphs?

TL;DR; most browsers "read aloud" feature ignores element specific lang attribute, but dedicated screen readers like #NVDA and Apple #VoiceOver do fairly well!

I've installed the 20 most spoken languages in #europe on my PC and virtual Mac.

Blog post is in the making, so feel free to ask questions and send me on even more side quests 😁

Teaser at oldrup.dk/en/teaser-testing-th…


Teaser: Testing the 20 most spoken languages in Europe, with NVDA and VoiceOver – oldrup.dk

WordPress has basic support for the HTML lang attribute, but how does that actually sound in browsers using assistive technology?

NV Access

Glad NVDA is working well switching languages in your tests! With the languages - note that NVDA uses Windows OneCore by default. It will happily switch languages AS LONG AS you have the voice pack for the new language installed in Windows. This post is old but should cover the process: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…

With eSpeak-NG, a popular synthesizer which we bundle with NVDA, it includes over 120 languages built in, from memory. And if using other synthesizers like Eloquence YMMV
