🏖️⌨️ You know how Shadow DOM can break accessibility? There’s a new proposal with experimental implementations (some by @igalia) to help fix that! I blogged about it: meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/202…
The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.
Including audio samples of all 23 supported languages (MIT licensed), local installation, some shared lessons learned and test with zero shot voice cloning.
In this video, I take a detailed look at Chatterbox TTS, a multilingual text-to-speech system by Resemble AI that runs privacy aware on your local system. Al...
I have been working on this almost every evening since months and duckfooded it for weeks. It is now ready for some more public testing. Please let me know any and all issues you encounter.
they have done that for any other passport holders for the last twenty years. I know I have been complaining about it and Canadian shrugged without a fuck to give.
Then:
🇨🇦 Why don't you like to go to the US?"
🇫🇷 Because fingerprint + mugshot I get treated like a criminal.
@hub we crossed the border at Cape Canaveral a couple of months ago. 3200 cruise passengers, it was pretty... cruisey. i suspect we were considered low risk.
however, it is a big planet. i don't need the stress of crossing that border again without the US wanting to welcome foreigners again.
there are loads of other places in the world - hello! canada!!! - that are available.

Wir haben den Barrierefreiheits-Talk vom #39c3 auseinandergenommen, denn er war weder gut noch lehrreich.
Er enthielt Inspiration Exploitation, extrem unsaubere und fehlerhafte Ausführungen zu den WCAG, illegale und behinderten Schadende Rätschläge, und einen gänzlich fehlenden Blick für die Systematik.
Insgesamt war er leider dem CCC in keinster Weise würdig. Leider ist er innerhalb der letzten Stunden zu einem der meistgesehenen Talks zum Thema überhaupt geworden.
Casey Kreer und bommel reagieren auf den Barrierefreiheitsvortrag des diesjährigen 39c3. Der Vortrag ist nicht nur inhaltlich unzulänglich bis falsch und gib...
holy shit they might have found cure for Alzheimer's

bsky post by sailorrooscout:
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
note: the first trials were on mice, but they're promising
Just going to put this out there. If someone posts a workaround for a thing that might be giving people trouble and you don't do it, that's fine, but the lecture about oh well you're just putting off what's going to happen isn't helpful. Also, if said workaround involves tampering with software, it's of course common sense to use caution but again, lecture not needed. Nobody is forcing workaround for anything down anyone's throat, and there's no reason to get weird if someone decides to post about using said workarounds. Do or don't, but save the lecture. We're adults, we know the risks. Thanks. Have a good monday.
J’essaie de contribuer de bonne foi au débat public, au mieux de mes capacités. Mais une fois par année, je fais relâche. Voici, avec toutes mes excuses, un lexique de mauvaise foi pour régler nos comptes avec l’année 2025.
idk I've always found that German law about blurring faces of strangers so bonkers. Must be the only country in the world that has one. And more generally, "you can look at it with your eyes but can't take pictures with a camera" just doesn't work in practice.
a furry con I assist with has it in nonverbal communication form: ribbons!
They follow Kink Rules: positive an negative consent are easily given, can be revoked at any time (remove the ribbon) and can be signaled in group (look for crimson cameras, ask if they are okay excepting consent)
Dnes se mi povedlo sundat i poslední plechovku. Ta jediná nejspíš nětěsnila a dostala se do ní voda. Každopádně jsem ji obratem nahradil a za půl roku to třeba bude lepší. #solarografie #solarigraphy
The #CRTC has published its revised policy on described video: As of two years from now, all streaming services with $10 million in Canadian revenue must provide DV on new scripted pre-recorded original programs crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2025/20…
Graphene OS-Experiment mit Pixel 9a abgebrochen. Qualität des Audio-Streaming zu Cochlea-Implantaten leider immer noch so unbrauchbar wie bei meinen früheren Android-Tests. Werde deshalb weiterhin beim iPhone bleiben, so gerne ich Graphene OS hätte.
Konec roku, dnes poslední letošní cesta do Londýna, tak jsem si stáhl výpis z tachografu, abych viděl, kolik jsem toho letos najezdil. Asi budu muset vzít ještě jeden overtime, abych těch 100k dorazil. I když tohle je jen tachograf. K tomu auto, tak to už mám splněno
@Kipe @OttovonWenkoff Já nevím, jako ujel bych to to neříkám, ale já bych byl po těch kilometrech byl jeden den kaput. Mně stačilo to ježdění po Bavorsko. Jasný ono je i něco jiného být 8 hodin v práci a pak jet 400 km z Garmisch-Partenkirchen, ale i tak. Někomu to tak asi nevadí.
@archos I cesta bývá cíl 😉 HR v pohodě přes noc, Francie s přenocováním u Strasbourgu a ráno dolů do Provence a Švédsko jen do Växjö. Odtud se pak výletilo na všechny strany. Tohle je pro mě v pohodě. Zatím. 😉
When ChatGPT was released 3 years ago I never anticipated how it could become a source of tensions with people in my life.
So to add to its many damages, it's a source of:
- environmental catastrophe - economic bubble - monumental job losses with bosses leaning into AI and laying off workers - loss of critical thinking - destruction of higher ED methods - further isolation with people using AI characters as "romantic partners" - dangerous medical advice (especially with reliance on it for mental health support)
(I'm probably forgetting other important things)
AND:
source of tensions inside homes and with friends when you have a person critical of AI (🙋♀️) attempting to reason with a person whose default setting is: "I'll ask ChatGPT". Pointing out flagrant mistakes by AI seems to make their heads explode and get angry at the messenger. Ouf.
Sorry for the downer but I'm sure this is a pretty common problem...
Anyway, this morning I was given hope by a toot from @jwildeboer and I should just keep focusing on that. And make sure my own child doesn't buy into the BS of AI... mastodon.social/@jwildeboer@so…
i had an interesting interaction with my father (almost 70) this weekend. my aunt has apparently been telling him how great chatgpt is so he gave it a try. but he started by asking things he knew the answers to and came to the conclusion it's useless. once i explained what it is under the hood he was annoyed he had even tried
What, week 1 of 2026 is in 2025? Yes: the "first week of 2026" starts on the Monday of the first week that has at least 4 days that fall in 2026, AKA the week with the first Thursday of the year.
Since years don't have an integer number of weeks, a "weekyear" has either 52 or 53 weeks - so you can say we have 'leap weeks' sometimes.
However, the nice thing about standards is that there's so many to choose from. Yes, there are also people who count differently. The Java docs for their utility classes to count weeks cheekily claims "the common definition" is one where a week starts on Sunday (and week 1 is the first week where *any* day falls into the new year): docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase… . Do not believe their lies.
Getting started in open source can be intimidating: everything is public! Don't go alone, take one of our mentors with you and start contributing to Matrix on 30 January, in HSBXL right before FOSDEM!
Someone pointed out that all three rings of the #39c3 disco… thing, are rotating. And I was like, noooo. But they are! There are little hard-to-see stems that connect the rings together, and they run along tracks to allow rotation.
There's something wrong with me. I've wanted Linux on my phone for years and years. And now that Gemini made Termux more usable, I have no clew what to do with it lol. I do need to see if I can get focus tracking working right though.
