I've just got a fix committed for the WebKitGTK reporting the wrong AT-SPI roles thing. github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commi…
Much thanks to Lukáš Tyrychtr for reporting the bug and identifying the commit that caused the regression.
The fix is backported to the stable branch, but 2.50.4 was just released three days ago, so I'm guessing that a release with the fix will not be imminent. 2.51.4 does not have the fix, either.
I've already patched Tumbleweed with the fix along with the update to 2.50.4. Maybe other distros want to add a patch until there's a new release.

Y por artículos como estos me niego a dar dinero a El Diario: eldiario.es/internacional/fias…

En todo el artículo no se pone en duda, ni siquiera en una frase, la idea de violar el derecho internacional público y la inmunidad soberana, ni siquiera la conveniencia de actuar ilegalmente cuando así se desestabiliza el marco jurídico y se expone a Bélgica y la UE a represalias. Imperialismo 100%, ni un paso atrás, ni un instante de reflexión. Y a esto lo llaman autonomía estratégica en vez de lo que es, seguidismo atlantista.


El fiasco de los activos rusos pone en duda la capacidad de Europa como potencia global

Los vetos de los países miembros a políticas europeas y su compleja gobernanza dejan a la UE sin capacidad para ser un líder global.

Bazzite has a massive issue that kind of pisses me off: if Steam decides to update and something goes wrong, you're just screwed. Games won't launch, you won't be able to go to desktop mode from the UI, and you need to plug in a keyboard and drop into a tty to fix it. I thought this was a one off issue but it happened twice :(

I was planning to give an old pc to a younger family member as a steam console, but now I'm scared that this will randomly happen to them.

"#Jews comprise 0.2% of the world’s population.

Take a group of 500 random people, and on average, 499 won’t be #Jewish.

So you may be wondering what it’s like to be part of that 0.2%.

Here’s a little snapshot:

In May, Jews gathered at a museum reception in #WashingtonDC. A #gunman started #shooting. Two attendees were #killed.

In June, Jews gathered at a park in #Boulder, #Colorado. An assailant threw #Molotovcocktails into the crowd. A woman was killed.

In October, Jews gathered at a #synagogue in #Manchester, #England. A man drove his car into pedestrians and #stabbed them. Two people were killed.

In December, Jews gathered on a beach in #Sydney, #Australia. #Terrorists opened fire. Fifteen people were killed.

That’s just in 2025.

Bottom line: being Jewish is dangerous."

I probably wouldn't have gone through the effort of telling the cops anything though. That's their job, and frankly they're terrible at it when they have to do it alone. They don't prevent crime, and they're usually pretty bad at solving crimes. And they're always looking for a reason to turn you into a criminal anyway.

I'm surprised they didn't harass the hell out of this guy when he went in to give an official statement.

So what I'm hearing now is that the redditor that tipped off the cops to the Brown university shooter is homeless and sleeps on campus

I bet they stiff him on the 50k reward

and also the news will probably never widely report that he is a homeless hero because Trump wants everyone to hate the homeless

follow #hashtags, using #Channels; or a better way?

@Friendica Support hello, i would like some help please to understand how to solve my confusion about the "right" way to follow #hashtags, using #Channels ... or otherwise some better way.

i follow a large number of hashtags [as a glance at my profile would attest]. afaict / afaik, fediverse posts bearing these tags appear [or are supposed to] in my "Network" timeline [with "Everybody" Circle & "Latest posts" Channel selected].

of my many tags, possibly my most "important" ones are #AusPol, #FOSS, & #Linux. in order to be able to efficiently locate all posts with these tags each day, rather than have to meticulously scroll down the full "Network" timeline [which is dissipated via also having all the other tags, & all my Followed accounts' posts], in Settings i created three dedicated Channels [one for each of those tags, ofc]. then i added each of those custom Channels to my Timelines, in Display Settings.

however, the result is just hopeless; really disappointing & frustrating. over recent years i have had several Friendica accounts, ie, at several instances, & doing the above has never worked properly in any of them, not only my current instance.

using the AusPol Channel for example, as it is the worst by far, every time i check it, its most recent post is several hours old, & often as bad as 12 - 18 hours old, with numerous other posts entirely missing.

i say "missing" because otoh, reviewing my Saved Search for #AusPol shows all these other posts, which therefore also appear, buried, in my full "Network" timeline.

over the months & years in exasperation, i have revisited the dedicated Channels in Settings, & for the Circle/Channel field have tried each of Latest posts, Latest Creation, Global community, & Latest activity, but none of them has solved the problem [indeed, a few make it even worse!].

please, what am i doing wrong? what aspect of Friendica's Settings have i been consistently misunderstanding / misusing, that causes this disappointment?

With this setting you won't see any posts that haven't got attached pictures, videos or audio files


OMZ! clearly i had no idea... i thought by ticking those boxes i was merely including all such posts along with text posts, not as you said actively excluding all text-only posts... that's a calamitous misunderstanding! that part of the Settings now desperately needs explanatory text there to guide users like me who had no way of knowing what you just explained.

should use "global community"


thank you! i shall now change that in all three of my custom channels [& ditto untick the three boxes in each].

so now i shall be very keen to see if, tomorrow morning, the behaviour has become much better 🤞 🤞 🤞

ps:

"Latest posts" that you are using here shows only posts that you already have got in your timeline


well ok, but i repeat part of my OP... atm, & historically, HEAPS of my followed-tag posts that are in my timeline [albeit "lost" amongst all the hundreds of other posts], simply never would also appear in my applicable custom channel for that tag. that said, now that you've also told me about those three ticked boxes, maybe that was causing what i just mentioned...?

@Michael 🇺🇦 haha, you beat me to it... i just came back here to excitedly post a positive update... it is now working much much much better! it is now close enough to my originally envisaged ideal use-case as to be neither here nor there. finally, this is great! thx so much for --again-- solving one of my Friendica puzzles 🤗🙂

@Thomas fwiw... she. it's not just delayed, it's never appearing at all [or, if they happen to appear >24 hours late, then i regard that as "never", coz my desire / use-case is to use these custom channels first thing in the morning to see what happened overnight, then periodically check them during the day for subsequent new posts on those tags]. by the time tomorrow morn comes around, i'm then looking for the new batch, not still wondering where all those missing ones yesterday got to. how it actually works atm entirely breaks that desire. my biggest confusion about this is that i know my instance is able to access all those posts, coz me doing that manual tag search proves it... so why does the custom channel, configured also for that tag, fail to find the same posts? and i repeat, this is NOT a criticism of my current instance; all my older Friendica instances also failed at this. @Michael 🇺🇦

Drag is protected speech. Federal courts already said this law is probably unconstitutional. Uthmeier is only enforcing it because of a legal loophole—not because it's suddenly okay. The law is intentionally vague.

Idea for #Apple and #Google: Include a setting for their #AI to give photos meaningful file names. Because I'm tired of trying to differentiate between 5187923061456387928_121.jpg and 5892706374823612537_353.jpg.
P.S. It would have been nice if even without AI they gave names like current date, current time with seconds and a sequential number… dreaming is not forbidden? right?

The data duplication on crossing nodes and crossing ways annoys me a lot. I also stopped tagging the button operation when I realized that all local crossing buttons are for audible signals only. There is also a problem with the audible signal tagging for crossings, where `=yes` is apparently supposed to equal `locate`+`walk` 😖

I support an effort to clarify and simplify.

Listening to @bcmerchant.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy BLOOD IN THE MACHINE on @libro.fm@bsky.brid.gy and hit the part in the early 1800's where tradespeople worked from home, made their own hours, and the bosses said "We're putting an end to THAT shit", and reflecting on COVID "back to the office" mandates.

In another random collection of A T History, I'm starting a YouTube playlist of ads for blindness agencies and companies, like this one for Recording for the Blind. I know there are ACB, NFB, AFB, CNIB, and other ads online as well. If you know of others I'd love to have them.
I'll share the playlist once I have a decent amount.

Some things I learned in a talk from a founder and CEO of dating platforms:
- Dating platforms certainly use machine learning to create the profile proposals for users. That's called recommender systems.
- They are not interested in giving you the perfect match, because that would mean that you don't need the platform anymore.
- They use priming. This means they categorize the "attractivity" of people. And let's say you are a 6 or 7 (out of 10) in their system, they first present 8 or 9 graded profiles to you, expecting the "8 person" to reject you. But this primes your expectations of "what you can get". And hence when presented with a good matching profile, you probably will judge this as being below your expectations.

FreeBSD has Wireguard support in the base OS, but it's not well documented how to use it. So here you go. Hopefully an example lands in the FreeBSD Handbook soon.

Wireguard The FreeBSD Way

Wireguard is part of the FreeBSD base OS install these days so you do not need to install additional software to use it. I was using Wireguard the traditional way via the wireguard-tools package so I could use wg-quick like you would on Linux.

This is horrible. Do not buy AI translated books. Please.

---

The French literary translators association (ATLF) and the collective En Chair et en Os (In the Flesh) have just published a press release (in French) relating how translators working for Harlequin were recently told that the publisher would now be turning to AI: ‘An external contractor, the communications agency Fluent Planet, will put the texts through “automatic translation” software and then recruit freelancers directly to post-edit the machine output in French. The stated aim is to increase profitability by reducing working time.’

A number of French translators have been working for Harlequin for years, often exclusively. This decision places them in an extremely precarious position, without proper notice or compensation.

Nejlepší interiér trolejbusu? Turecká Bozankaya ukazuje, jak se to má dělat

Konečně trolejbus, kde je prioritou cestující?

Praha zažívá trolejbusový boom, o kterém se nám před pár lety ani nesnilo. Ale nejde jen o nové tratě, jde i o vozidla. Do pražských ulic vyrazila na testování doposud málo známá turecká Bozankya.

V dnešním pozitivním komentáři se podíváme na to, proč je vnitřek Bozankye SNG 12T prostě jiný a lepší. Kam zmizela ta otravná motorová věž? Jak je možné, že působí tak vzdušně, i když má standardní rozměry? A všimli jste si toho obrovského okna vzadu?
