I have been watching the Interledger Summit 2022 session recordings incrementally over the last few weeks.

Unexpected delightful surprise was @todd presenting how @purism (the privacy-centric open source laptop and smart phone) stubbed out an entire two-sided app store marketplace based on Interledger and its related in-progress projects.

2023 is going to be breakout year for open payments.

I've been playing with #ChatGPT a lot since it came out on November 30th. A few days ago, I decided to have a bit of a conversation with it about the threat it might pose to the future of digital #accessibility.

The resulting conversation surprised me beyond anything I could ever imagine. Why don't you take a look? :)

I just read, in an anthology of Russian 19th-century Gothic Tales (kirja.casa/book/70999/s/russia…) a story by Vladimir Odoyevsky, called The City Without a Name.

I can't find an english translation of the story online, but if you find it somewhere, read it! Written in 1839, it's a very accurate description of our own times almost 200 years later when profit motive drives everything and every humane pursuit is driven into nonexistence in the name of endless gain.

y'all wanna see a Mastodon server that makes you log in with LinkedIn to enforce a real name policy?

they're trying to out-Hachyderm Hachyderm as far as gross corporate vibes and i think they may succeed

Unlike most communities, we require our members to use their real identities to facilitate building trust and a professional reputation. We ensure real identities by asking our members to login with LinkedIn.

We will soon release the following features: - cross-posting to LinkedIn and Twitter - topic-based groups and live chat - goal-based suggested connections on Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Twitter


this is not any kind of call to action i just think it's funny in a sad way

For any blind users of the GoXLR audio interface or anyone considering one, we now have a much more accessible app that lets you configure and use the device thanks to the goXLR on Linux project.
github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxl…
To get this to work on Windows you need to have the official drivers installed and make sure that the official goXLR app isn't running. Some sections of the UI still need some #a11y work, but the mic setup, mixer and rooting pages are all working really well. #noxp

I'm willing to pay up to $10,000 (USD), to whomever I need to pay, to solve the #GNOME AT keyboard input handling problem once and for all. Currently, toolkits implementing AT-SPI have to pass all keyboard events to the AT-SPI registry, then wait for a response on whether the event should be processed as usual. No other platform does something like this, and this unique platform-specific requirement is a major complication for #AccessKit. I want to get this fixed. #accessibility

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

This is a picture of the opt-out form. "Content Analysis: Adobe may analyze your content using techniques such as machine learning (e.g. for Pattern recognition) to develop and improve our products and services. If you prefer that Adobe not analyze your files to develop and improve our products and services, you can opt out of content analysis at any time. This setting does not apply in certain limited circumstances."

One thing I wanted to do for years was to experiment with Conversations acting as a push provider for apps that don’t maintain their own TCP connection (Tusky.app, Ltt.rs, …).

@unifiedpush’s recent post on the @fdroidorg blog¹ renewed my interested in this topic and I've just merged code that make Conversations a UnifiedPush Distributor.

I’m already receiving my @Tusky notifications via #XMPP 🥳

It could be an alternative UnifiedPush client and have its own persistent websocket connection for users that don't have a Jabber account? I thought it could already wake up other apps though, but I never actually used it fully. But I had an app that had push notifications through Gotify.

Great! I'm using UnifiedPush for @apps

A list of subscribed topics like in #ntfy [1] would be great!
And maybe some way to test if UnifiedPush is successfully set up.
(maybe that should even be tested once a day in background)

Also could Conversations list in the server information if the XMPP server itself is a UnifiedPush proxy and can be used instead of up.conversations.im ?
(of that is technically possible)
