Tengo ciertas ideas acerca de lo que puedo hacer, como ciudadano, para reducir mi contacto económico con agentes que fomenten la línea política predatoria del gobierno de los #EstadosUnidos, pero quería preguntaros a vosotros. ¿Qué habéis hecho, qué creéis necesario hacer, qué os gustaría hacer pero creéis que no podéis, para «independizaros» de las barras y las estrellas?

Sentíos libres de difundir. Respuestas cínicas o contrarias a la tesis serán, como mínimo, ignoradas. ¡Gracias!

Hey friends — quick accessibility question for the blind Discord users out there.

I’m on macOS using VoiceOver and trying to set a custom Discord keybind for “Disconnect from Voice Channel.” I’ve added it in Settings → Keybinds, but I can’t tell if it’s actually saving, and the shortcut never fires when I’m in a call.

Has anyone gotten this working reliably on Mac?
If so, what key combo are you using, and did you have to do anything special to make it stick?

Any tips, workarounds, or confirmations that this is just a Discord bug would be super appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙏

The production on this track is insanely good. Love all the interesting ear candy and little details. On top of that it's just a really well written song. Jess Humphries - Spite

My thoughts are with everyone battling or affected by the bushfires and power outages on this 43°C day. I’m very thankful my air conditioning is still working and I’m relatively comfortable. If you’re the praying type, please pray for my daughter’s safe return from Sydney tomorrow. The fires are still active, and she may need to find an alternative route home to Melbourne.

AccessiWeather update and dev musings:

I just added a small improvement to accessiweather: being able to import/export settings to copy them from machine to machine. However, if I can convince the Toga/BeeWare team that portable apps can indeed exist on macOS as well as Windows, maybe they can implement something to allow it. Briefcase is the real issue, though it certainly has its issues though overall it makes it easy to build and package the app with a few commands, though the config method they have for all platforms to save user settings saves it where each platform usually does, E.G. %appdata% on Windows. With my WX implementation, my make.py script had to do a bunch more shit. If I did that over again, I'd probably try to switch to Nuitka instead of the abandoned pyinstaller.

Get ready for our 2026 National Convention in Austin, Texas! Austin is widely known as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” and boasts a vibrant arts scene with many public art displays throughout the city.

But Austin isn’t just fueled by creative energy. A strong technology sector thrives here, with many tech companies establishing headquarters in the city.

I just pushed an #NVDARC for iOS update. Here's what I've added this time: Adds a new feature I'm calling Gesture Presets. The idea is that you can set up your three finger swipe actions to send keys you want them to send, and then save them as a preset. Then, you can set up more keys, save that as another preset, etc. Then, a new picker item will appear in the connection window, where you can quickly switch between gesture presets on the fly. In addition to all of this, you can make different machines start with different gesture presets in the machine editor. Let me know what you think! testflight.apple.com/join/edg8…

Today has been a very strange day. Definitely had some #Thursday components, such as both of my ears completely becoming useless at different points, a fantastic headache, a couple of technical things that went wrong, and the ill-advised (by me) working on an experimental project that might crash and burn, but I won't know about that for a while.

Currently, both my ears are, for all intents, nonfunctional, so I am once again thankful for the existence of braille displays.

As I suspected it probably would be, my bug bounty submission of using an AI email summarizer was closed as being 'infeasible' and an 'acceptable risk' with AI.

But still - I think it's an interesting finding, so I have written it up thus: mike-sheward.medium.com/recrui…

TL;DR = I discovered how you can use Google Workspace's Google Gemini Email Summarizer to make a phishing attack seem more convincing, because it summarizes hidden content.

Using AI's, I've co-written a clever editor that cleans text and prepares it for use with index-tts. It kept getting more powerful, so even if you don't use it the way I do, it may be useful, or perhaps, you, being a human could bring the actual personal touch to it. Do whatever you like with any part of this project you like, just let me know for my own gratification, source included dropbox.com/scl/fi/1d2cuzegf60…

If you create an alternate gmail account, or any gmail account really, make sure you either configure 2FA with an authenticator app or add a recovery phone number.
The moment you sign into that account with an Android phone, the gmail app on iOS, the youTube app on iOS, or anything else that Google can send a code to, your account will force-enable 2FA without so much as a warning. The next time you try to sign in from a browser or another device, you sure as shit better have that phone with you, rather than hiding in a box 3000 miles away, otherwise you're not getting into that account.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.

It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

With xAI's Grok generating endless semi-nude images of women and girls without their contest, it follows a years-long legacy of rampant abuse on the platform.

Reasons are, as so often, historical. Computer software form and best practice does in many ways originate in the US during the 1970s and 80s - right the time US copyright switched from requiring a full notice of (c) symbol, year and author to not doing so. So it comes mostly by continued practice. Mostly as US law is still case law for most parts, which means that having a classic notice may give a better standing. Then again, the year itself may only once the item gets past any of the thresholds - which are quite long by now.

So for all practical reasons, it would have been sufficient to only note the year each file was created first - removing the need for yearly updates. This gives a minimum duration of 50 (Berne) or 70 (EU/US) years after your death. That's as of now something like 2076. Sure, libcurl may be still in use by then - if we still use computers and not clay tablets again - I would think any possible dispute has been solved already :)

On a side note, the EU still recommends the use of a copyright notice: europa.eu/youreurope/business/…
