I made a tag for trurl 0.2, mostly because I was asked so that there is a way to build a fixed (pre-)release of trurl. I want to stick to 0.x versions for as long as we experiment with options and ...
Description of changes
This is a new tool for "translating and transposing URLs", made by curl's Daniel Sternberg.
Intented as a companion tool to curl.

Quiz show time again! In which I aim for the most ridiculous heading ever for a technical article covering the topic of Non-Text Contrast: tpgi.com/when-i-get-that-low-c…
@jaybird110127 I read that article earlier today. Now I see that an ISO of the software was posted to archive.org. Going to download it, peek inside, and see if the customized DECtalk engine that the article talks about is a DLL, or statically linked into the executable.
“17.2% of home pages had a "skip" link present, up from 13% in 2022. However, one out of every 6 "skip" links were broken—either they were hidden in a way that made them inaccessible or the link target was not present in the page.”
@bagder just wanted to share that I now provide builds of libcurl for iOS, automatically updated whenever a new version is released: github.com/tls-inspector/curl-…

Daniel Stenberg’s new tool for parsing & manipulating URLs might fit nicely into HTTP your utility belt. URLs are tricky to parse and there are numerous security problems in software because of this.

I would like to add a Homebrew formulae for trurl, but it requires a tag for reproducible build. Could you please add a tag for v0.2? (kind of want to start utilizing in my script to simplify few things and homebrew is preferred method of deploying tools for my CI instance)

This will never catch on, that curl guy just throws things out and abandons it!
(Fun fact, cURL has a better track record of support than all of Google. All of it. Not a single thing they have released have been supported longer:))
I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Mullvad VPN has teamed up with the Tor Project to release a browser focused on privacy, and making you harder to track via browser fingerprinting and third-party trackers.
I would put myself into the third group. I really like the general idea behind Rust, want to apply it in production, but still, use all kinds of tools other than Rust. The first category would not…
I mean, the niche you describe was IMHO filled just as well by Java.
Java is definitely not the be all and end all in this space, I especially feel like it has fallen out of time quite a bit, but Go hasn't exactly moved forward from 70s either... @AstraKernel
Browse by Touch, also known as Explore by Touch in TalkBack, is a feature that allows users to navigate onscreen items and activate them by double-tapping anywhere on the screen using accessibility focus.
It'd be great if GNOME & KDE could talk *both* Nearby Share & AirDrop in one UI (in the file manager, I guess, with "Nearby" showing both, when available). It'd work with whatever phone you have.
A sharing app would be OK too. But integrated would be better.
(Yes, I already know about Bluetooth, KDE Connect, and GSConnect.)
@hub I'm not sure. I was assuming so. I use an Android phone and don't have a (current) Mac, so I haven't had a reason to look for it.
(I do have an iPhone 7 phone for testing for work, so it'd be useful for transferring screenshots, so I probably should search for something that works on Linux. Otherwise, KDE Connect for iOS perhaps.)
it was my understanding that a lot of AirDrop functionality was at the driver level and that wasn't really documented. (older iPad never supported it, or even older Mac)

It's not built-in by default, but it does integrate into GNOME once you add the extension.
And then you run KDE Connect on your Android device or iPhone. Plus, you can use GSConnect or KDE Connect to connect with another laptop or desktop too.
@hub The only problem with KDE Connect (and therefore GSConnect too) is that the KDE Connect app ships an older version of an ssh server for Android 7 support, which uses ssh-rsa, which was dropped a while back in distributions, which means file browsing no longer works (and now no longer do the workarounds).

@hub That's payback for Android VNC clients refusing to connect to GNOME remote desktop because the encryption protocols supported by vino are too old/insecure.

I've never heard of the 125 character limit? Maybe it was with screen readers other than NVDA? I thoguht the limitation was from the application side. Twitter & LinkedIn both allow 1,000 characters. I checked for someone last year & Facebook allowed me to post the entire Wikipedia WWI page as alt text. NVDA read through the first 42,158 of 259,432 characters. Not sure if that limitation is from facebook's side or NVDA's TBH, but I don't anticipate many real world users hitting it
@NVAccess if you haven't heard of it, then we've been reading different articles 😅 css-tricks.com/just-how-long-s… indeed a search for "screenreader alt text 125 characters" finds a plethora of articles probably all copying from each other.
And I guess from this myth, lots of applications set limits which have changed a lot over time.
Great to have another data point that it works for NVDA :) It works fine for me with TalkBack as well.
I teach a class over at the local college here in Long Beach and a majority of the content is hosted on the Canvas LMS so students can access it online. And,
Someone asked me about limits last year, and that must be where they got the idea from. FWIW, at the time (June last year), LinkedIn only allowed 300 chars where it now allows 1,000. I haven't tried dropping an entire Wikipedia page in Facebook's alt text today, but based on my result from last year, if there is a limit there (lower than 42k), it will be on the Facbeook side.
@NVAccess and re: your mastodon comment, yeah, every mastodon server can set different limits. Just like every other website, hence the question for me as a website operator: do I set a limit.
The specific use case for me is online scientific tutorial content, where the images can be quite complex
So, having real hard evidence that there is no limit is extremely useful to know and I can stop thinking about how best to support long descriptions.
I guess the question is how will having (or not) a limit affect your users? It may encourage people to be more succint - and alt text is supposed to be succinct. But whatever limit you set, you will then potentially have people say "But I need more room to describe this really complex chart!". I haven't seen many complaints about limits of around a thousand characters. It's double the average Mastodon post lengh & 4 times a tweet so that might be a place to start if you want a limit.
@NVAccess yeah given what you and others have said, we will not impose a limit.
Conciseness is good, but getting scientists to write ANY alt text is not a fun experience, so, it is unlikely they would even reach 1k characters.
It was /only/ going to be necessary if some screenreaders would just stop announcing, then we'd probably still support longer but have to write some complicated workarounds to ensure that it got chopped up into smaller blocks when too long, or announced as "follow the next link for the long textual description of this image" which would let the user navigate to a text block and then somehow back.
That was a development activity I was not especially looking forward, and now I can just mark the issue resolved and move on! Less work for me, I'm happy.
& from our side - getting some web developers to write even vaguely accessible code sounds like a similar exercise to getting your scientists to write alt text (big generalisation I know!) - so for someone like you who IS doing the right thing, the last thing we want to do is make you do MORE work. If there was a limit from the screen-reader side, then I'd definitely encourage you to contact us (if it's in NVDA at least) as that is something we should be looking to fix rather than you.

@luvcie Right now we are fighting against this, as you are as well, we hope! If the law passes, we will see what is says exactly. What we can say for sure is that we are not going to weaken or undermine the encryption used in Tutanota.
yes of course I'm fighting it! Hopefully everything is going to work out and they won't ask you for backdoors or any way to expose our personal info and data. As usual we rely on your transparency. Thanks for the quick reply
introducing #trurldaniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/04/03… - trurl is a tool in a similar spirit of tr but for URLs. Here, tr stands for translate or transpose.
this looks great, thanks for creating it! For years I've been using Python's urllib in the interactive interpreter, this will surely be a nice replacement.
Just a tiny remark: the scheme guessing looks like a potential footgun to me

@sgirlprivacy We tried the built-in translation tool in Mastodon to have both, but it looks like it does not work as we intended... We'll post in English again, no worries!
I understand that from your point of view is easier to write the post in 2 languages, but this makes things annoying for users answering to your posts, because some will see English messages and some German messages that they don't want to see. I think the right move was done by LibreOffice for example: fosstodon.org/@libreoffice/110…
Warum wird Threema als Privatspärenfreundlich und Anonym dargestellt wenn es explizit nur per App auf einem Telefon funktionieren will.
Für ein Mobilfon müßte ich doch erstmal sprichwörtlich die Hosen runterlassen und mich mit verfifizierter Addresse und Videochat ausweisen damit ich eine SIM-Karte bekomme.
Von daher kann ich Matrix und XMPP sehr viel mehr empfehlen
