Thanks, I didn't know about this app. It seems to work with Transitous even for #Brno. I've been paying for CG Transit for years, but something more open would be definitely welcome, so I'll give it a try.
Can You help, how to configure @bimba for Prague MHD or czech public transport? I'm little lama ☺️. It would be usable for other lama's 😁 too. Thanx 💚.
1️⃣ open the home page 2️⃣ open the hamburger menu 3️⃣ open localities 4️⃣ enable Transitous (that's the open data source collecting transport tables from many providers) 5️⃣ tap on save button
Ještě nevím, zatím ji testuju. UI pro zadání query je rozhodně měně přehledné. Le líbí se mi použití Trasitous api, tzn mělo by to jít použít i v zahraničí. Na druhou stranu Trasitious ani v Čechách nemá kompletní data od všech dopravců, tzn v českém pokrytí má Idos navrch - idos patří Chapsu který měl státem určený monopol na data o jízdních řádech. Rozbil to dlouhými soudy až Seznam, který data chtěl taky.
We're proud to share our early Christmas present with you: Mixxx version 2.5.4, a new stable release. This version bundles various minor corrections, improvements and fixes for the issues you reported. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

KDE Dolphin has a thing called kio-fuse which will mount a fuse filesystem to provide paths to access files from other software that isn't KDE-ified.
This works fine as long as your fuse isn't broken. But also there are apps that get marked as supporting SMB natively... like VLC...
so what I've encountered is that VLC playing videos out of SMB shares you browse in Dolphin is broken on FreeBSD; Linux distro users complain about this sometimes too because they need additional packages
VLC can support SMB, but on FreeBSD it's not built with that by default. (ffmpeg needs SMB support enabled too)
Just published an article about how an expert learns - from sight-reading to performing music... on cello using eye tracking technology. it's open access, so freely available: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11…
Even if you don't read the fancy bits, the progression of the heat maps to show the engagement of the eye and mind are very cool ! #research #music #cello
If, like me, you absolutely hate the recently introduced sidebar-like overlay "side-panel" that opens up when you click tickets in #GitLab, I finally found the obscure place where you can turn it off.
It's not in your user preferences or kebab menu, it's… tucked in that little "Display options" icon-only button between the tickets searchbar and the sorting order combobox:
Blazie Technologies will have a special Christmas present for all BT Speak and BT Braille customers whose units are under a warranty or a maintenance contract, available on Christmas Day.
This weekend, I tried out TalkBack 16.2. And rather than rant about the one step forward and a good 3 steps back it took in Braille support, or how it can't take an actual screenshot and describe the screen unless there's one accessible element onscreen it can grab on to, or any of the other stuff I routinely rant about, today, I'll just say thank goodness for the iPhone.
I'm so glad I didn't sell or give away my iPhone 16 or Apple Watch. I'm so glad I got the AirPods Pro 3. I'm so glad it's evident that at least a few blind people work at Apple and are listened to at least when it comes to their most popular product, the iPhone. I'm so, freaking, glad that Apple at least keeps the lights on for Braille on their platforms. And I'm so glad screen recognition is a thing so when I'm playing a video game, I can have the menu read out even though there is no accessible element on the screen. I'm so glad that with AirPods, Voiceover isn't too sluggish and that you can't really tell that, when you swipe passed the visible end of a list, like the settings app, VoiceOver scrolls the screen for you. I'm so glad that at least that bit of magic is still there. You don't *have* to know these things. In Braille, it *feels* like a Braille-first interface, as far as we've made one in the past 30 years. And when VoiceOver gets AI image descriptions, I'll be thankful for those too. In the meantime, hey Siri, describe my screen. I'm so glad that I can almost always keep my iPhone in my pocket and just use Braille. I'm glad I can type my passcode in Braille and it just works! I'm so glad I can read a book and it pans to the next page. I'm so glad I can bind just about any VoiceOver command to arbitrary Braille keys. If I want dots 1-3 with Enter to go to next link, I can make it do so! If I want Space with Enter with O to open the Braille Access app chooser, there it is! Oh also I can press Command, Option, Control, FN, and Shift modifier keys with Braille commands. Just sayin'. At this point, iOS with Braille would be a way more blind-friendly OS than Android. And I think we should make this more clear: Braille-friendly is blind-friendly. Because if your interface is flexible enough to work with Braille, it'll be flexible enough to work with speech.
@pitermach With the NLS EReader, not sure about the other Humanware stuff, previous and next line is DPad Up and DPad Down. That'd be cool if the displays had a DPad.
An alternative for braille display support under Android is the Android-specific version of BRLTTY, reputedly available from the Google Play Store. As i don't have an Android device suitable for testing, I haven't investigated its capabilities further. I've used it under Linux, of course, but that's a very different environment from Android.
In general, TalkBack seems to be very much a corporate project. The source code used to be available (and perhaps still is), but as far as I know, there's no community of developers outside Google (except for Samsung's version - also a corporate project).
There's a new Amazon bot launching today: `Amzn-SearchBot`
"...used to improve search experiences in Amazon products and services...such as Alexa and Rufus. Amzn-SearchBot does not crawl content for generative AI model training."
Doc page shows user-agent & links to source IP list. Looks like it *does* obey `robots.txt` at least.
"does not crawl content for generative AI model training" sounds oddly specific. It feels like their plan is to have their own search index for "LLM grounding", AKA injecting relevant information into the context to make the answers citable and more factual.
@miki Yeah I agree, they're definitely trying to make a clear distinction.
I suspect orgs are becoming increasingly likely to outright block bots which pull content to train LLMs for whatever reason so perhaps they're trying to avoid that.
Would be nice if they were a bit more open on the detail of what they *are* going to use the bot for though.
Неимоверно устаю. Не знаю даже почему видимо проблемы со сдоровьем и общая запущенность тушки. Но после каждого рабочего дня чувсвую себя еще более разбито. За выходные не успеваю полностью восстановиться. В пятницу дак я вообще как правило зомби. Самое обидно при всем том что я хочу постоянно спать. Уснуть крайне тяжело.
If you want to add more security to your Mastodon account, you can set up a system called "two factor authentication" (also known as 2FA). This prevents anyone else logging into your account even if they find out your email and password.
2FA works using a special app on your phone which gives you a short code number to type in when you log in.
I've done a non-technical guide all about 2FA and how to use it, including answers to many questions:

Je voudrais tout simplement vous dire que j'admire votre métier. Le verre m'a toujours attiré je ne sais pas vraiment pourquoi, vu que je suis non-voyant et je peux seulement le toucher. Aujourd'hui j'ai touché une grande boule sur un sapin de Noël ici à Strasbourg, et c'était une expérience à part !
Re last: #OpenSource community, we're looking at you. #Accessibility P.S. What I boosted: @somegregariousdude posted that he will delete his #Matrix account and all links to it. Our shared experience is that there is no accessible client out there. So whenever you offer to "Ditch slack for Matrix", think once more.
@Rich Not even close. If it did, it came and went quickly. Starting a call is just barely doable, for example. And let's not even mention the inaccessibility that is session verification.
Officially going to ditch my Matrix account thanks to the poor accessibility experience with the Element X mobile app and the Element web app… neither of these options play nicely with screen readers in their current form, and my level of frustration has reached its breaking point. I’ll be removing all links to my Matrix account from my website in the near future, but all other links to my social media and messaging apps are still valid. Basically, accessibility is my primary roadblock using more apps on the Fediverse as it seems most of them, don’t take accessibility for screen reader users into account in their design, or if they do, it’s not a serious commitment. #A11Y #Accessibility #Fediverse #Matrix #ElementX #ElementWeb
I tried making a Neocities account today. I was stopped dead in my tracks by an unlabeled field with protected input in the signup form. I thought it was the password field, but there's a labeled password field with protected input a little further down, so I have no idea what that first one is. Just a little further down is an hcaptcha challenge that forces me to give my email address to hcaptcha because hcaptcha can't be bothered to implement actual accessibility
On complex forms, add an error summary for forms so users know what to fix at a glance. If the form is long, add contextual errors near the field. #accessibility #a11y
After my talk at @gnome Asia Summit, I’ve published the source code of Jollpi, a Python-based text editor I’m rewriting with a modern stack.
Built with Python 3, @GTK 4 and GtkSourceView 5, using a modern async architecture and standard Python packaging (pyproject.toml, pip). It installs cleanly and integrates like a regular Linux desktop app.

Tak jsem právě plnohodnitně prešel na #grapheneos Díky @mahdi jsem synchronizoval kontakty a kalendáře. A díky tipům dalších jsem vybral základní aplikace. Teď začnu používat, a případně zkoušet varianty. #oscloud a @archos si nechám až po ukončení této fáze. Na starém mobilu jsem si zvykl na jednoduchý spoštěč - Olauncher. Na F-droidu pár (podle popisu) podobných je. Máte někdo zkušenost s některým podobným, který byste mi doporučili? Zatím jsem narazil na jediný problém...firemní profil. Vytvořil jsem si profil, v něm nainstaloval google a Intune Company Portal. V něm se přihlásím na svůj firemní účet, ale nedaří se vytvořit firemní prostor (proces havaruje), takže tam nedostanu firemní aplikace (outlook, teams..). Doufám, že je to jen nějakým nastavením. Poradí někdo. Předem děkuji 🙏
Minulý rok mi nešel Revolut, aplikace odmítala alternativní OS, i když technicky nebyl důvod. Musel jsem používat druhý telefon. Oni to pak nějak obešli, ale tohle bude asi přímo na vaší firmě. Jen hádám, třeba někdo zkušenější bude vědět víc. @mahdi
Only today I discovered that the 6-part #NS #SLT trains used to have a first class compartment in one of the middle coaches. It was removed in 2016, but the red marking on the partition glass as well as LED light in the rack above seats makes it still noticeable.
Je možné, že když na Spotify přehrávám dlouhý playlist na random, tak to ve skutečnosti není random? Mám dojem, že mi to háže prioritně pořád ty samé písničky. Jestli už si nemůžu ani pustit písničky na random bez „algoritmu“, tak tyjo to se fakt asi vrátím k mp3kám.
Spotify plati autorum/IP holderum ruznou castku za ruzny content (dealy s labely, vlastni content, kdyz umelec zapne "Discovery mode", tak dostane mene) => Spotify preferuje pro ne "levnejsi" songy.
Shuffle has always been one of Spotify’s most-used features, and also one of the most misunderstood. For years, listeners have debated whether Shuffle is “truly random,” often noticing patterns or repeated tracks that didn’t feel random enough.

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?
A lot of big political stuff is happening in Bulgaria right now and I can't inform myself properly because I don't know which sources are good and reliable. Thank you oligarch media, Russian propaganda and conspiracy weirdos poisoning the online discourse.
Сигурен съм, че тук има и българи, които четат постовете. Имате ли съвет и препоръки?
I don't bother with the news. I don't bother with Gen z, either, I am not Gen Z, and what happened in my opinion is idiotic. I have respect for some politicians, who came, ten years ago, in the middle of nowhere, and greeted a disabled person who spread the news that there was no EL power for a whole week and more...
@tardis Thanks for the reply. I believe I understand how you feel. I tuned myself out of all news and public conversation back in 2019 (having never participated much in the first place) and cut almost all of my ties to Bulgaria in 2021. I'm getting whiplash reading the news, as most of the names and political parties mean nothing to me. I don't know what the current discourse is and I'm not going to bother you with it. A part of me just wants to be hopeful, as scarred as I am.
Regarding gen-Z: as a student of sociology I should know better, since the current consensus is that generations don't actually exist. I only acknowledge it as a self-label that many find useful for social identification. For the sake of acting according to my knowledge I should probably stop using it...
I use Castro and even have the plus subscription. After the new owners started implementing fixes and new features, it became a viable option again. The concept really speaks to my way of thinking.
@marcozehe Same for me. I always loved the Inbox + Queue concept. They still lack a desktop application. And the desktop is where I listen to podcasts most of the time. So, my little open source app will implement this pattern with some small changes.
„Chtěl bych uklidnit všechny běžné občany tím, že dnešním dnem v České republice skončila klimatická krize. Nevím, jestli to uklidní také aktivisty, kteří klimatickou krizí žijí, ale klimatické krize je over,“ řekl Petr Macinka po převzetí resortu životního prostředí. irozhl.as/z7F
Kabinet má celkem 16 členů. Místopředsedy vlády budou ve třetím kabinetu Andreje Babiše Karel Havlíček, Alena Schillerová (oba za ANO), Petr Macinka (Motoristé) a Jaromír Zůna za SPD.
@Jan Korbel 🐧 Stejně jako u vlády dosavadní. Žádná apokalypsa se nekoná a když to dostatečně poprasí, máme šanci na něco normálnějšího. A možná dřív, než bys čekal :) @iROZHLAS.cz
@schmaker co se týče popírání klimatické krize, je to vážný průser. To už není hra. Je pravda, že i vláda, co by ji nepopírala, by s tím nic moc reálně dělat nemohla, ale strkání hlavy písku není dobrá civilizační strategie. @jackc @irozhlas
Určitě nechci tvrdit, že všechno bude sluníčkový. Chce-li mi ale někdo tvrdit, že v tom globálním průseru do kterýho se řítíme hrajou roli nějaký 4 roky náckovských bezmozků, tak mě to asi nechává chladným.
Co mě chladným klimaticky naopak nenechává je #Ukrajina a rusáci, kde tankerama sviníme oceány a furt někde nesmyslně něco hoří. A to úplně přeskakuju tu hromadu mrtvých na obou stranách kvůli jednomu idiotovi s malým pinďourem.
Neber to prosím jako whataboutismus - nemám to ničím podložený, ale jsem přesvědčenej o tom, že klimaticky je tohle podstatně horší věc
@schmaker @jackc @xChaos Mě nepřestává udivovat, jak si lidé myslí, že se za ty 4 roky nedá nic zničit tak, že náprava bude trvat desítky let. A přitom na východě od nás máme, bohužel, nechutný příklad 😞
@schmaker @schmaker @jackc @xChaos @chick_enheart já třeba jako velikej pruser vidím Německo, povypiname jaderky a sypem tisíce tun CO2 do atmosféry z elektráren na plyn.
@xChaos @janantos @schmaker @jackc @chick_enheart nedostali se poprvé, nad 50 % jsou od roku 2022: 2022 - 50 % 2023 - 58 % 2024 - 61 % 2025 - 61 % My máme pořád o 40 % vyšší uhlíkovou intenzitu výroby elektřiny než Němci a teď to vypadá, že si to uhlí budeme ještě dotovat. Větší obavy bych tedy v tomto ohledu měl spíš o nás než o Němce.
Hey @prism, do you perhaps know somebody at Meta who works on Messenger for web, and could you connect us? They took away my precious Mac app, and the web version is... not really in an usable state, at least on that platform, where the app very much was. I unfortunately happen to live in a place where Messenger is everywhere, and one cannot live without it.
Meta is committed to creating a great experience for all people. If you find an accessibility problem in any of our products, please complete this feedback form.

Thanks for tip!

in reply to Schmaker • • •The UI needs a bit of polishing, but it seems usable. And I like that it uses the Trasitous api as I like that the project exists.
Btw on #Gnome there is also app #Railway, also using Trasitous. So I consider public transport usecase covered on #MobileLinux.
What happened to Pubtran? I know it belongs to Seznam.cz, but it seems working.
