For the past 3 years, I’ve been part of the Google Accessibility Trusted Tester program, where people with disabilities test unreleased products and give direct feedback to engineers. In my article, I share how the program works, how I’ve maximized participation, the experience I’ve gained, and why more companies should follow Google’s lead in compensating disabled testers. linkedin.com/pulse/my-experien…
@NVAccess I'd like to report an adon in the adon store that possibly contains malware and is being flagged as malware by Windows Defender and other antivirus programs and therefore won't install. It is redundant anyway now since the thing it is built for is now included in NVDA as of the latest version. The adon in question is called "Tele NVDA Remote Assistance" by HM something (HMDorb? HMDub? something with HMD in the developer's name anyway) and I couldn't find a report feature in the store directly so that's why I'm reporting it directly in a post on Mastodon. Anyway I tried installing it myself and sure enough Windows Defender flagged it as a threat and stopped it from installing on my computer, so that's how I know it's Malware. The URL to the adon is github.com/nvda-es/TeleNVDA I strongly recommend you take a look as I think it's definitely got some sort of Malware in it. I have already reported it to Github so they can take a look on their end.
Echoing @cubic - we have looked at that & we believe it is a false positive. What is being flagged is basically the same as what was flagged in the original NVDA Remote & in our built in implementation until we reported it as a false positive and had it fixed. We have helped TeleNVDA report the false positive as well - it can just take awhile. We do actually virus check all add-ons (as well as all NVDA core code), and it's amazing(ly annoying) how often things get falsely falgged
@cubic That is good though that it is not actually harmful and that it's a false positive. I had a scare that people were downloading things with viruses in them lol. Thanks for alleviating our fears.
@cubic Not a problem, thanks for ensuring we knew! And one of the reasons we run everything through VirusTotal as well to ensure we keep on top of any potential issues - as much as possible - as mentioned, it's not perfect and there are false positives, but it's an extra line of defence to prompt manually checking.
@Aryan The first time you submit an add-on, it is manually reviewed, which usually takes 3-4 businss days - allow up to a week perhaps? Subsequent updates to THAT add-on are automatic, and generally take less than an hour - unless they are flagged by VirusTotal or CodeQL and require manual review.
@Aryan If you're submitting an update to an add-on you have previously submitted, then yes you can simply update it. If you want to submit an update to someone else's add-on, you'd need to either work out taking it over from that developer, or fork it and make it clear this is a new fork of that add-on.

RB status: 720 apps (55.5%) – a lucky number in the percentage 🤣
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Our ongoing repo reorg also resulted in other 8 apps having been removed, as they were no longer maintained AND rarely requested anymore:
* Elfreader * Fastair * Warpshare * OpenFarManager * Calculator (ha! yeah, which one 🙈 The one from 2016) * BookShelf * TailPos * domodel-diary
Our reorg is still ongoing, so more will probably follow. We hope the cleaning also makes it easier for you to find what you need in our repo, without distraction.
@deusfigendi Hehe, yeah. 500 char limit… ElfReader was just showing basic information on Linux ELF binaries. TailPOS was a point-of-saled app – and Open Far Manager a text-based file manager like Midnight Commander, or, Farr on Windows.
@deusfigendi We were asked to name the removed apps. Unfortunately, the 500 char limit at Mastodon doesn't allow to include extensive info or links for all. Would also mean a lot more effort to write those.
But there's light at the end of the tunnel; we hope to have something available toward the end of the year 🤞
Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post / "A firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000 for 14-18 influencers to create content."

The only reason I left is because of a full time open source position. Whoever fills in the position, I can promise you, you'll see wonders and make wonderful friends for life! 😃 I still chat with my old team members, and with some of them on a regular basis. In any case, good luck!
Vloni touhle dobou jsem se začal chystat na důchod. Mám před sebou ještě 12 let a, s prominutím, holou prdel. Vybral jsem penzijní a zainvestoval vlastními silami.
Dva brokeři: 1) XTB, kde držím velkou většinu a kde mám pouze ETF a pomocí DCA pravidelně měsíčně vkládám hotovost a doufám, že za těch 12 let se zhodnotí.
2) eToro, kde si hraju s drobnými. Traduji akcie. Moc tomu nehovím, jen tak nějak chápu o co jde přirozenou inteligencí a všeobecným rozhledem, za přispění čtyř YouTube kanálů o investování.
A blíží se konec roku a vidím, že díky Trumpovi a jeho debilitě šly trhy do háje a když se konečně z hájů vrátily, je v háji pro změnu dolar, takže zisk nic moc. Spíš nic. Avšak ten trading, ten se mi povedl. Jsem opatrný, smrdím korunou, a i přes tu opatrnost hle, o kolik jsem překonal index S&P500. To mě těší, opravdu. Snad ten důchod nakonec nebude tak zlej.
nicméně je třeba dodat, že tohle je dobrá strategie s horizontem >10 let. Kdybych měl 5 let do důchodu, tak už v akciích na důchod nespořím. Když to pak řachne těsně před důchodem, tak to není sranda. Já jsem investice na mnoho let vyřešil stavbou domu. Máme velkou hypo, takže můžu jakékoliv přebytečné peníze sypat do ní se zhodnocením 6 % při nulovém riziku. 🙂
I've started this #Fanfic whilst hoping labour would progress. The baby isn't out yet but at least we're having a giggle between contractions, comrades.
Harry Potter and the Ludicrously Illegal Blog, By The Sentient Duck
No one bothers to tell Harry about the Statute of Secrecy or, for that matter, that electronics shouldn't work in Hogwarts, so when he joins the magical world, he just continues writing his blog. The Muggle public is convinced he's a brilliant fantasy writer, his friends are convinced he's a menace to society, and MI6 is convinced Hermione is a Russian spy. Modern AU.
It's a 200k word Fic that seems to have been written over the course of 12 months or so last year. fanfiction.net/s/14321997/1/Ha…
Jane Goodall, one of my greatest heroes, has passed away. How lucky we were to read her books and learn from her wisdom about our place on Earth. She was an inspiration to me and countless others. And her memory is a blessing.
My latest article for my awesome friends at @accessibleandroid after a long while. Google’s New Rules Could Threaten Sideloading And Accessibility Along With It: accessibleandroid.com/googles-…
For many users, Android’s openness has long been a key advantage: the ability to install (or “side-load”) apps from outside the Google Play Store, or to use
Do you repair your own vehicle or use an independent shop? Your repair costs and time without your vehicle could both increase thanks to First Brands Group's bankruptcy.
@georgia same but i often forget to close them last night i was bent over taking pics with them open luckily no neighbors that can see my windown for now
Kodak announced two new types of film that it will sell directly to photography stores, sidestepping a bizarre distribution agreement that has been in place since its bankruptcy.
With Dialup going away, I can't help but bring this sound back to remind us of what used to connect us. To the younger generation, if you've not experienced dialup, I'm sure it will come back as some fad or other one day.

TIL that while there is a unicode superscript character for trademarks ( ™ ) there isn't one for latin ordinal indicators. E.g. There's no "st" superscript character to use with 1st.
BUT, there ARE "minuscule" superscript characters of the full English alphabet (tough shit if your language needs diacritics over letters i guess 🤷♀️)
So, you can fake "1st" with those but the font handling isn't great: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ…
@matt oh Jesus Christ. I figured they were literally just minuscule Latin letters so "of course" they'd be handled just like any other Latin letter? But no. 🤦♀️
Just listened with macOS voiceover and it completely skipped over them as if they weren't there. What the absolute fuck?
So many WTFs.
Also just learned that it says "misspelled" before every word that's spelled correctly but not capitalized correctly. That's fun. 😡
(gonna go have to edit the alt text to the screenshot i just added)
This fixes a crash bug which was reported using the new #ACRA crash reporter functionality *less than 3 hours after the last version released*. If that's not an ACRA success story I don't know what is ;)
For those curious the fixed bug is github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…. ACRA delivered a very clear stack trace and other information like the Android version which helped to triage this quickly.
Interestingly enough, this code that crashed seems to have been around for *8 years*, a very simple off-by-one error. Due to a series of circumstances, the user ended up with a card with no header colour.
When picking a header colour, the name of the card was used and modulus 8 was done on it. However...
Just reported with our brand new crash reporter. Thanks ACRA, didn't expect you to come in handy this quickly. OnePlus 13 (CPH2653), Android 15. User reported the crash happening the moment they ta...
Given there were only 7 valid colours, that means there was a 1 in 8 chance of picking an invalid colour, causing a crash.
The most surprising part, to me, is not the bug. It's a very simple mistake to make. What does surprise me though is that a crash issue in 8 year old code never got reported before.
This is yet another reminder that if you're frustrated about something, make sure it's actually reported! The dev may simply not be aware of the issue! :)
@Penglix Sadly yes. F-Droid has been having issues for the past 2 months building several apps (including Catima) due to the older hardware used: gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu…
It looks like F-Droid is looking into buying new servers, but it also looks like Google might be releasing a new version of the Android Gradle Plugin soon which supports such old hardware again. So the next release may reach F-Droid again :)
If you're impatient, you can export your data and switch to the IzzyOnDroid version :)
Affected apps under this label: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/?label_name%5B%5D=AGP-8.12.0 Between 8.12.0-alpha07 and 8.12.0-alpha08, aapt2 started to want a CPU that supports BMI1, CPUID, SSE4_1, SSSE3 ...
Thank you for the response! I might make the switch.
We had contact a while ago. It was about the "Deutschlandticket" in Germany. I promised you a feedback. It works with Catima. I got the ticket here as a PDF file and as a pkpass file:
Deutschlandticket - Das Deutschlandticket gibt es nur als Abonnement, es ist gültig je Kalendermonat. Die Bestellenden müssen mindestens 18 Jahre alt sein.Voraussetzung für die Bestellung des Abos im
I would expect that readding to be fixable, the pkpass probably contains an URL to get updates from. But I haven't really looked into that much more deeply: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
Pkpass files can be updated online: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/walletpasses/adding-a-web-service-to-update-passes While the documentation suggests this is mostly for changes like boa...
Thanks a lot for the #catima app. I recently discovered it and I love it. Dead simple UI, works completely offline, no ads or tracking BS. I store everything with a barcode in it (loyalty cards, library card, etc). Great and useful app.
As a single solution across government, GCtranslate will generate economies of scale and reinforce the use of both official languages within the public service. It demonstrates the government’s commitment to modernizing the public service through secure, efficient and Canadian-based innovative digital tools.
As part of the Government of Canada’s digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a central role in modernizing public service operations.
> An earlier version of the tool was launched at PSPC in June 2025 under the name PSPC Translate. In its first 3 months of operation, it translated more than 60 million words, equivalent to more than 3,000 pages of documents per working day.
What was the error rate? And how much did it cost to fix those errors? If they don't say it's because it's bad.
@bougiewonderland I was not expecting any answer to exist. Because it would probably look very bad so no need to try to look for it. Question was purely rhetorical.

even more since there not a single tram line left. Sometime the rails they were too lazy to lift reappear under the low quality pavement. But in general it has all disappeared.
