Mir wurde ein heise-Artikel zur DSGVO-Konformität von Microsoft 365 als "besser und neutral" im Vergleich zu meinem Geschreibsel empfohlen. Ich habe es mal aufbereitet - die Meinung mag sich jeder selbst bilden ...

"Abschließend bleibt bei mir der Eindruck des Versuchs "einer plumpen Einflussnahme" seitens eines Consultants – ob im Auftrag Microsofts, kann ich nicht belegen – zurück."

Kann ich so nur unterschreiben. Auch die Frage, obe das jetzt hätte als Werbung gekennzeichnet werden sollen, stellte sich mir (ich hatte mich gleich nach dem "Anlesen" gefragt, wer denn so einen Unsinn schreibt, und daher gleich nach den Autoren geschaut)

"Dies führt zu einer enormen Mehrbelastung bei den mal mehr und mal weniger zufällig ausgewählten Verantwortlichen, an denen die Datenschutzaufsichtsbehörden ein Exempel statuieren möchten." – Ich denke ich bin nicht der Einzige der sich wünscht, den Datenschützern stünden Mittel und Finanzen zur Verfügung, da mehr "Verantwortliche" in die Verantwortung zu nehmen…

Ja, geil, nich? Echt "gut zu wissen", so kurz vorher (und in einem Nebensatz). Dank herannahender Feiertage gibt es bestimmt überall schnellen Versand 🤢 Bei mir war es der CX, und der tut wirklich nicht mehr mit der neuen Karte: "Fehler 00".

Ich habe mir den "REINER SCT tanJack photo QR" bestellt, der soll HHD v1.4 können und auch mit der DKB gehen (QR Modus aka "913 - ChipTAN QR"). Probieren konnte ich das noch nicht, ist noch nicht da (kommt hoffentlich nächste Woche).

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅

PS: Dank seines Dual-Modus (QR + Photo) sollte er auch das "Smart-TAN Photo" der PSD-Bank (und weiterer Banken, die das nutzen) unterstützen. Die können ja wiederum kein QR…

Ist echt zum Heulen, dass nicht alle Banken VERPFLICHTEND zumindest einen GEMEINSAMEN Standard unterstützen müssen. Sie können ja gern ZUSÄTZLICH jede ihren eigenen Krams implementieren…

Work-in-progress MAME driver for the "Speech/Morse Generator", the 1980s device that provided the voice for several Stasi spy number stations on shortwave radio. Unfinished, but working enough to use most of the functions.

A lot of you already saw my posts about this earlier this year, but I'm now looking for help finishing this up... I'd be interested in collaborating or passing the project off to someone with better knowledge of MAME internals who can clean up the driver, as it's really little more than a skeleton. UART and paper tape are notably unimplemented, and it would also be good to rework it so the speech ROMs are loaded through MAME's cartridge system, as they were actually stored on custom cartridges originally. Code is at github.com/natarii/mame/tree/s…
I also worked on a disassembly of the Z80 program to better understand the functions, including the serial control commands which (as far as I have seen) are not listed in the original documentation. All available to interested parties...

More info on the device is at cryptomuseum.com/spy/owvl/3262… - Their archival and preservation work is impressive for a device as obscure as this one

The collapse of a startup leaves implanted medical devices in > 700 people

The unavailability of the proprietary SW needed to recalibrate the devices and maintain its effectiveness, and the draining of batteries, will leave them without treatment and with HW implanted in their bodies

They have to hack their own implants

And it is not an isolated case but a trend

1️⃣ Yesterday I complained about stream.cz not providing #RSS channel.
2️⃣ In the evening I created a pull request to #RSSBridge adding stream.cz support.
3️⃣ Today It was merged
4️⃣ I can now subscribe to the show on stream.cz using RSS through RSS bridge

I love open software. But still it would be better if seznam have supported RSS in the first place.

@treefit Yep theres many raycast and collision tests in my future. Its probably not as hard as I imagine, things like this have been done before in Godot. The xrtools has a VR keyboard. Perhaps I can just plunk that in.

Im not sure what I would use on a real device. There are many displays available from waveshare, including ones more than big enough for a tablet (though you are on your own for touch input). If I recall correctly, the Remarkable e-ink note taking tablet runs Qt.

Wir haben auch den offenen Brief "Das universelle Recht, jede Software auf jedem Gerät zu installieren" des #fsfe unterzeichnet, um die Idee zu unterstützen, #Geräte von #unsicherer oder #privatsphärenfeindlicher Software zu befreien. Wir zahlen für die Geräte und sollten dann nicht ein Objekt für #Data Mining und Datenanalyse dieser Unternehmen werden.

Some #RaspberryPi alternative SBCs to consider:
- ROCK Pi 4 (rockpi.org)
- MangoPi MQ Pro (mangopi.org)
- Odroid C4 (hardkernel.com)
- ROCK64 (pine64.com)
- Le Potato (loverpi.com)
- Banana Pi M6 (banana-pi.org)

These examples share similar form factors and/or specs to various RPi models, but their vendors offer many other options as well. What other recommendations do folks have?

in reply to vince

turns out there's a whole directory of SBC options, searchable by architecture, specs, form factor, header compatibility, etc. (thanks @be!)

The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 10 - Luxembourg - expand the content warning to open the window for today
Today's is more of a handy implementation rather than best practice example per se. Still, I haven't seen it anywhere else and I find it a socially mindful design.
You know the talking info boards at public transport stops, right? The ones that you press a button on and it reads the next few lines that will depart even when all you really need is the next one? I'm pleased to tell you that Luxembourg is doing it differently:
The spoken information is given only as long as you hold down the button that activates it so it is a kind of walkie-talkie that does the talkie part instead of you. This way, you can hold it down, listen to the next train or two arriving then release the button and be done with it. Not a perfect design as it excludes those with limited dexterity but it is a start.
Sadly, the information is given only in French which goes to show that accessibility should also include those who can't speak the country's language. This is in Luxembourg which boasts three official ones so most of the native population has grown multilingual from the start. Unfortunately, I have seen these info boards only at some train stations in the Luxembourg city - would be amazing to see the availability expand.
Again, no links and also sadly no recordings so have some more interesting facts instead:
1. Luxembourg is the first European country to make the public transport completely free of charge to everyone. Bear this in mind if you ever come to visit.
2. The city of Luxembourg has been awarded the European Commission's Accessible City Award of 2021.

@app Hey, could we please get an ability to set our post language up on submission? Sometimes I would want to post something in Polish, Russian or Chinese but it will always show as a post in English which will spam people's timelines with some uncomprehensible garbage (for them), a beautiful language (for me). I understand Tweesecake doesn't mean to be a full-on Mastodon client but that should be one more API query param. TC users, I kindly ask you to boost.

Zažívám nesmírnou radost naše distribuce CachyOS se ukázala na Phoronixu a to i s vyšším výkonem pro gaming.

Na začátku roku 2021 jsme začali jako menší partička kamošů - Já, Ptr, Hamad a pár uživatelů s tím, že cheme Arch Linux více optimalizovaný pro nová CPU a přinést gamingu na linuxu svěží vzduch.

Zda se povedlo, to posoudí každý sám. To je teprve začátek, máme další nápady, jak zlepšovat optimalizace. Co je nejlepší, lze je aplikovat na vanilla Arch Linux.

At Auschwitz we see the end of the process. The Holocaust did not start from gas chambers. It gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.

74 years ago UN accepted the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide". It was drafted by a lawyer of Polish-Jewish descent Rafał Lemkin.

Stay Home
by Wendell Berry

I will wait here in the fields to see how well the rain brings on the grass.

In the labor of the fields longer than a man's life
I am home. Don't come with me.

You stay home too.

I will be standing in the woods where the old trees move only with the wind and then with gravity.

In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don't come with me.

You stay home too.
