I've mentioned this before but SimpleX is more private secure and anonymous that signal threema and session.

SimpleX is decentralised meaning taking down a single group of servers of org wouldnt destroy the simplex network, people can run completely anonymous simplex servers over tor, this puts simplex ahead of Signal and Threema

SimpleX has quantum resistant encryption which puts it ahead of Threema and Session, the UK military[1] and NATO[2] both consider quantum computers to be a threat now because of store now decrypt later attacks

SimpleX has no user identifiers not even random strings, its essentially like having a "burner phone for every contact". Two or more compromised contacts could corroborate your messages by linking them to your signal username or your session id, but with simplex your contacts can't prove your identity even between eachother. This fact puts SimpleX above Signal Threema and Session

These technical details about the simplex protocol can all be found on the project website including the whitepaper

In der Vorweihnachtszeit haben sie es besonders eilig: die Paketboten. Sie klingeln, rufen Namen, balancieren Kartons und verschwinden so schnell wieder, wie sie gekommen sind. Vor allem in Stadtteilen wie dem Wedding, wo Häuser selten nur ein Vorderhaus haben, sondern auch Seitenflügel, Quergebäude und Hinterhöfe, ist ihre Arbeit eine kleine logistische Meisterleistung.

Need help asap.
So my NVDA doesn't wanna speak other than in login or user control dialogs. Reinstalls didn't help, and of course restarts arn't the magical quick fix. :p. At the same time, wifi doesn't appear to work. Sometimes it barely works, and I thought it was a tailscale issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. It only worked the first time when quitting processes. I should point out that it's a pc issue, not an internet itself issue as it works just as it should anywhere else, for example, this work laptop I'm posting on now.
What kinda messed up conbination is this?
The wifi thing started yesterday in the morning, by the way. Only today nvda thought it wanted to just quit working.

Oh, oops! Did you install all Windows updates? Did you try a hard reset, which is basically hold the power button until the laptop turns off? Also, apparently microsoft's vibe coding, broke the login screen, and not sure if they fixed that. Other than that, I am considering saying goodbye to Windows. And if you can't solve that, maybe it's time for new windows re-install, or something with the WI-FI card is wrong, but if not that, check for driver updates. What brand are you using?

@Winter blue tardis @Marc Hoffmann My guess is that NVDA configuration is somewhat messed up. My recommendation would be:

  • using ctrl+windows+enter to enable narrator for performing this.
  • Once narrator is working press windows+r to bring up a run dialog.
  • Into that run dialog type in "%appdata%\nvda" without the quotes and press the enter key to activate.
  • NVDA folder should be opened in the windows explorer. Use arrow keys to navigate and find nvda.ini configuration file.
  • If you really wish to proceed hit F2 and rename this file for example to nvda-backup.ini and confirm the rename operation by pressing the enter key.
  • Finally restart NVDA either by pressing ctrl+alt+n on the keyboard or navigate to the desktop, find the NVDA icon and activate it with the enter key.
  • NVDA should start with default settings. if it's working it's likelly there are some conflicting settings or addons in your config. If it's not you can revert this process and try something else.

Política: La izquireda no acierta

Creo que lo que dices es preocupante, desde luego. Pero tampoco tengo muy claro que haya ninguna receta para revertir el tema. Los medios son agentes que siguen sus propios intereses; no creo que con un giro de discurso se corrija el problema.

Tampoco tengo muy claro lo de la falta del discurso de clase. Yolanda Díaz/sumar llevan un montón de tiempo insistiendo en eso: cuestiones de clase, problemas reales y concretos. SMI, registro horario, jornada laboral, permisos, falsos autónomos, mejora del sistema de inspección. Y creo que no tiene muchos efectos.

I wasn't aware of @Tutanota 's contact synch fonctionnality on Android. Since i had #tutanotamail on my old phone that I have lost, today I installed #tutamail on my current phone to find out that I had unexpectedly recovered all my old contacts that I thought was lost forever.
I'm happy about it. That unknown feature gave me a new life today.
I want you to know that. Thank you for the job!

Question for the Mastodon hive mind:
Primer:
I have a need to convert, resize, reorient, and transcode video for various stages of our video edit and distribution pipeline. I've been doing all of this in ffMpeg, via command line arguments and custom-coded scripts. However, the needs of this thing just simply don't scale that way. And no one but me gets access to the CLI on these systems. So that's just not feseable.
Now finally, to the question.
I am looking for an open-source web frontend to ffMpeg that is, if not fully accessible, as that is a very tall order, but at least usable by an experienced screen reader user with the typical tools and hacks learned over twenty years of experience. Just something that doesn't make accessibility a barrier and most importantly, a time waster.
Please boost far and wide for reach, with thanks.

Ready! Set! Fire!

My apologies folks, there will be no archive on YouTube for this stream, as it was full of gremlins, and not the fun kinds. I didn't even know until I checked the video archive. Unfortunately there will be one in game day off screen, and I'm going to have to do some tinkering with OBS to figure out what it's major malfunction is this time. Thanks for your patience everyone, and I hope so much to be up and running again soon.
