Apple just brought Slide Over back in iPadOS 26.1 beta 2, plus mic input gain control and local recording options. But I have ONE more request...🎙️ My tech ...
We never imagined to live tough days like these days. We never imagined to lose our home and live in a tent. We never imagined to live all the day trying only to survive. We never imagined to ask for help. Asking for help is the most difficult thing I ever lived, but I have no options.
In the previous four months, your donations made a real difference to our life.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo today brought you 19 updated apps (1 update had to be rolled back: Melotune added a load of proprietary libs) – while our gardener removed 7 no longer maintained and rarely downloaded apps:
- Expenses: the budget app was not updated since 2018, and had no installs recently - Viscerion: the Wireguard client was declared EOL in 2020 - Translation Recorder wasn't updated since 2019, and declared deprecated in 2023
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).
- Textbender: dormant since 9/2023 and close to no installs anymore - passwd: dormant since 7/2021 and only few installs lately - Photo Time Fix: not updated since 2019, and only very few installs - Undo: dormant since 2019, and only very few installs

The president's office announced that Sébastien Lecornu had tendered his resignation on Monday morning, hours after his new government had been announced.
my mother died four years ago, and her cel phone has been sitting, locked, on my dresser ever since. i made four bad pin attempts at it years ago then decided not to push my luck any further.
this morning, while making coffee, it suddenly dawned on me what it would be and, behold, it was.
here is the lesson: write down your important passwords. put them in a sealed envelope and give them to someone you trust, or the executor of your will or your lawyer. do it today.
@miki Same. My photography exists in physical medium, the rest dies with me. The only drive with info my family might need is encrypted and they have the password. It contains just stuff like life insurance info.
If any developer of any software I use to write/review code announced they were going to put logic in that software to extract/send/train on my code - **even if it was opt-in/disabled by default** - that software would be uninstalled and that developer blacklisted from any system I had any control over for the rest of time.
Without hesitation or delay. Even with the best of intentions and security practice I could simply never trust that piece of software again.
I feel like it's quintessentially MAGA to constantly send reels to your younger disabled relative about some groups of people supposedly being burdens to society.
For all gods sake, of course, not in the #EU! I'm tired. Hopefully they will solve it sooner than later. #ChatGPT #AI Oh yeah, I'm super enthusiastic about SDK! thurrott.com/a-i/327982/openai…

for those that upgraded to beta 2 of iOS 26.1 did you have to re-enable your accessibility shortcut? mine wasn't toggling voiceover so I checked. it was off.
Libro.fm seems to use all GET parameters for searches, no JavaScript involved. They also have a very regular, minimal search results HTML format. They don't have an API, but I have to wonder if I can make myself a Libro search tool with CURL and some parsing.
I just learned that I need to put alt text on URLs for more accessible PDFs, but -- what should it say?
I am formatting academic citations that include a URL, so all the information about where that link will take you is in the text. I don't want it to read the URL to you and I don't want to just repeat the same information you just heard. What do you find most helpful in this situation?
I boosted since I really don't know how to handle URLs in PDFs correctly, ideally they should open, right? If they open, put the article title on the alt.

Dolphin has launched a very clever and captivating campaign to sell licenses at a 50% discount to JAWS users who are willing to switch from JAWS to Dolphin's Supernova. I have never used their screen reader and I have never met or worked with anyone in the U.S. who said they used that product. I admit to being a bit curious but certainly not enough to give up my JAWS license.
to be honest, I don't know who would. I was told their magnification is good enough to give up ZoomText, but for JAWS... I don't know. Is that thingy even scriptable or does it have addons? I've never heard about scripts or addon for Reaper, say, or for something like that, you mean, special and niche.
@menelion @luiscarlosgonzalez I don't know. I'd like to try it but JAWS more than meets my needs, not to mention that I wouldn't want to give up third party add-ons like Leasey.
@menelion @luiscarlosgonzalez As far as I know it has a scripting facility built-in based on the mainstream Lua programming language, so in theory it would be capable of hosting some advanced scripts. I last tried it many years ago, maybe around 2018 or so and the main thing I remember was finding its web support lacking. Not so much in the hotkeys, because all the virtual buffer type concepts you have in JAWS and NVDA were there, but it just didn't read well on the sites I tried it with. Things could certainly have improved since, they are making regular updates, but at the same time I know some long-time users who have switched away to NVDA recently like @FreakyFwoof who might have more insight.
@archos Pozor, to nebylo vše. Právě tím že nedávaly jiskru dvě tak bylo evidentní že je chyba v zapalovací liště. Jsem to včera celé vyměnil a Kamo, ten motor jede líp než předtím. 😁
It wasn't updated since 12/2023, but still sees more than 100 installs per month here. In its issue tracker, there are reports of crashes, and Spotify being broken. Does it still work for you? Or should we rather remove it?
EDIT: as it seems entirely broken, it has now been removed. Thanks to all who checked!
@catsalad Thanks! That confirms a report we got via another channel, stating Spotify and Deezer being broken. If even the local player cannot be used… well, consider the app gone then.
I personally believe that the age limit on being able to run for office should end at age 65, maybe 70 if pushing it, but nobody should be closer to 80, or 77 or whatever, closer to death at any point in those years and have political power. This isn't about #Republican or #Democrat, this is about people being able to live long enough to see how there laws affect other people who are younger, and people who are in there 80's who could die if the wind blows the wrong way shouldn't be allowed to hold power. If you can't stay for dinner, you shouldn't be invited to the table. #USPol
My vision is even harsher, and not for the US, but the whole world, look at my hands, as we say. We have an age of retirement, don't we? Right? So: we take this age, subtract the presidential, parliament or whatever timespan, and that's it. that's the last point you can be elected. Period, full stop. For example, if the age of retirement is 65, and the presidential cadence is four years, no-freaking-body can be elected after 61. Dead simple.
@menelion I actually like that idea, 61 sounds like a good cut-off point for anyone wanting to be in power. Presumably they should be able to live long enough that they see there consequences of there actions, and live a good life having done what they wanted to do which would have been to have power. This is a good solution.
@adamvs1 Sorry, but I disagree. Because thus we have some persons that are more equal than others, if you get the reference. I.e., you go on retirement at this age, I go at the same age, my wife goes at the same age, but Trump — no. Why so?
@menelion So you wish to define some groups as ineligible to take part in democracy? Primarily because the US elected a degenerate sock puppet? Similar arguments were used to disenfranchise PoC, women, the poor, and so on.
@adamvs1 No, I feel it's democracy. Otherwise, if you can elect a 80-year-old president, than you can hire and cannot fire another 80-year-old specialist, there must be equality. But to be honest, I don't know how it really works in the States, it's like this in Europe where it's basically mandatory to go on retirement if you are in public service.
@menelion @adamvs1 Not to mention that a person who is younger could still serve the needs of senior citizens, but the realistic truth is that a person who is 80 or older is at more risk of death than a person who is younger, they will not live to see what it is there laws that they support would do to the American people, so that by vertue of knowing they will die, they will be able to implement laws that they personally support that can and would cause harm to the American people, because they know that they won't be there to suffer the consequences. This is why I think its important for younger people to take political roles and let older people enjoy there retirement, because a younger person will see the consequences of there actions, good or bad, and will more than likely want to help people that they know will live after them having known what it is to live under there own policies, and so I stand for the limiting of age when it comes to running for any office of government power.
@menelion I think we have to draw a distinction between public service jobs, private sector jobs, and elected roles. We pay elected officials so that, hopefully, people with lower incomes, or lacking other privileges, can take part in a role fundamental to a representative democracy. Retirement age is mostly optional (or impossible, for many) in North America, and is a separate problem from choosing competent representatives…
Need some #Ceph advisory for my private cluster on #proxmox:
3 nodes with 2x 18 TB HDD each.
According to some docs I found, WAL/DB size should be 1-4% of the disk size, so a SSD should be between 180 to 720 GB for each disk or 360 to 1.44 TB for the two disks in each node.
Is this still be true or is it nowadays more relaxed and - let's say - 200 GB for each HDD will be sufficient?
Looking at the *at family of functions and I just realized that I viewed them as part of the capsicum security framework and not as part of allowing a threaded program to access relative paths from each thread's own working directory.
This explains why absolute paths are allowed and ignores the directory fd.
You can call any streamable-http transport MCP (Model Context Protocol) server tool with any HTTP client - even cURL!
And lots of things take cURL as example configuration (like Shopify Flow!), so it’s a good starting point for building things....
I finally found the instrumental version of ABBA’s “Money, Money, Money” that I used to hear back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It’s the orchestral rendition by Franck Pourcel, recorded in 1978, just a couple of years after ABBA released the original. Hearing it again brings back so many memories. The piece was remastered in 2023 as part of the album “Franck Pourcel Plays ABBA,” and it’s now available on Apple Music in excellent quality. youtube.com/watch?v=7CN45q1gc7…
On my way to the OpenSSL Conference 2025 to speak about how the @EUCommission is planning to break cryptography this time. I will take off on this plane in a couple of minutes. 🙂
Die Liste erscheint mir, auch mit der Einschränkung "in Unity Gaming Engine Editor Version 2017.1 oder neuer" erstellt etwas kurz, wenn man bedenkt wie krass verbreitet Unity doch ist. Und ob da noch alles gepatcht wird, darf bezweifelt werden - da sind ja so seinige Legacy-Titel bei.

Introduction Hello, I’m RyotaK (@ryotkak ), a security engineer at GMO Flatt Security Inc.
In May 2025, I participated in the Meta Bug Bounty Researcher Conference 2025.
Like, this is only looking at android to begin with as desktop systems have usually no app isolation anyway, so "local app can gain privileges of other local app" is not a vulnerability there.
On android some malicious app you have installed can exfiltrate your savegames or game logins, I guess?
Remote exploitability while theretically possible has a lot more requirements.
We appreciate that certain politicians have recently admitted their naivete in entrusting the voices of their governments to corporate / for-profit social media.
Tak tohle je mi líto. Z veřejného vystupování mi vždy přišla velmi sympatická a vždycky jsem zhltnul jakýkoliv rozhovor s ní. irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/ve-ve…
