Greta tried the "the system is broken we should fix it" route and ended up where we all do, "the system is exactly as it was planned and we need something better"
At long last, a blog update... on updates? Check out this article on Accrescent's progress toward delta updates with conceptual explanations, benchmarks, and lots of pretty graphs!
Introduction Well! It’s been a long time since I’ve shared an Accrescent update here (most development discussion takes place in our Matrix rooms), but today I have a big one: we’ve made significant progress in developing delta updates!
“That sounds …
I just read a review of Beeper¹ and I’m now thinking about SMS integration into #Conversations_im in the form of forwarding (mirroring) your SMS to your other #XMPP clients. (For example your desktop client or a tablet that runs Conversations but doesn’t have a SIM card.)
Obviously this would need buy in from at least one desktop client to display forwarded messages (@gajim, @dino).
After taking on Apple, Beeper has returned to its original goal of building a chat app for Android that encompasses messages from social platforms and your RCS / SMS service.
I voted 'Yes' (and I use SMS), but I would prefer this to be a standalone app. I love #Conversations_im and I don't consider this as a core functionality. So, this would better be a standalone SMS2XMPP app, or some SMS-messaging-app with integrated forward to XY (= XMPP, email, REST, etc...) functionality.
If not, have another separate version of the client: There is "Conversations", and "Quicksy", why not "Conversations Exchange" as a suite to collect ALL communications. 😉
I actually already do something like this based on the #app SMS to URL forwarder (f-droid.org/packages/tech.bogo…). The URL corresponds to a very simple endpoint (a CGI written in Bash!) that receives the SMS details and resends it to a #XMPP MUC.
My use case is that I have a mobile phone with an overseas SIM card that I keep at home while I want to know when it receives a SMS.
So having this functionality as part of #Conversations_im would be great.
If you're using Glassdoor, stop right now and delete your account. This company just made it completely clear it can't be trusted. Read this from @arstechnicaarstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
Just remember, *Every time advocacy groups warn about tech/capitalism, believe them.* We don't make shit up, we use history of actions and facts to state our reasons to be against it.
If your instance isn't part of @FediPact please urge your admins to join or move to another instance who is.
And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.
EDIT: *Please* send support to the creator of the FediPact, @vantablack as she is homeless. This is possible because of them.
Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Executioner's Rage has an autoupdate system that overwrites the NVDA dll, so attempt to move the override into place when the game is launched.
El Tribunal Superior de Justicia de #Brasil decide que es constitucional que un ciudadano brasileño —que, según la Constitución, no es extraditable— pueda cumplir en Brasil una pena de prisión impuesta en otro país.
El exfutbolista #Robinho, condenado a nueve años de cárcel por violación en Italia (y viviendo tranquilo en Santos), deberá ser detenido e ingresar en prisión. La sentencia admite recurso al Supremo.
I completely agree. It is very refreshing to be able to talk to the people developing the product and to know exactly where your feedback is going. That's also why I use and support NVDA. mindly.social/@Tamasg/11212890…
Wow so the BTSpeak already got an update in the first week I've owned it, and they added a lot of changes for the file manager, many of which people have asked for.

In 2021, "Haiti's president…was assassinated by…mercenaries, some of whom had received US military training. A Florida-based security company reportedly connected whoever wanted Moïse killed with the mercenaries…
[US] Ambassador Foote, in his resignation letter, blasted the US & other nations for...backing Moïse's unelected replacement [when] Haiti's chief prosecutor said he found evidence linking [him] to the president's killing"
I gave Elevenlabs sound effects generator the prompt "several tubas playing in an empty stadium." The result was this. Not quite, but it sure would make a really great annoying alarm for something.

Updated my robots.txt with more entries. I noticed others using my robots.txt as reference, so I documented reasons for not including certain other popular entries. That should help others make informed decisions, perhaps to go ahead and block them.
Obligatory “robots.txt controls crawling, not indexing; you can’t forbid both. allow crawling and use x-robots directives for crawlers to discover indexing preferences should they discover a cached copy of your page”, yadda yadda.
I think my opinion about using large language models to generate code, ignoring the licensing issue, is still pretty much what Marcel Weiher wrote in this blog post on the release of Copilot almost three years ago: blog.metaobject.com/2021/06/do…
Please support this critical legislation for online accessibility to ensure people with disabilities are able to access patient portals, online classes, and remote meetings.
If it's never been public that obviously should NOT have happened
You can use ClickHouse and the GitHub Archive to try and see which of your repos may have been public in the past using this tool I just built: observablehq.com/@simonw/githu…
I've been writing on this site for a long time. In that time, I've written over a dozen times on the accessibility business case. Time and again, the message I've hoped to convey is that issue prevention is the best way to save money.
Thank you for posting AIRA info here. I don't see much from them here and just went on twitter and saw the announcement about the new AI feature so hope I'm not missing much from them since I can't get to CSUN.
An bayerischen Schulen, Hochschulen und Behörden darf nicht mehr gegendert werden. Strafen in Schulen sind nicht geplant. Ein überflüssiges Verbot, findet @gschichten 👉 taz.de/!5996445
Das generische Femininum ist durch das Verbot nicht abgedeckt. Also liebe Rektorinnen, Lehrerinnen und Schülerinnen in Bayern - natürlich dürft ihr so schreiben. Ebenfalls nicht abgedeckt ist das Entgendern nach Phettberg, also Rektory und Rektorys, Lehry und Lehrys, Schüly und Schülys. Und natürlich auch nicht die in Behördenkreisen so beliebten Gerundivformen substantivierter Verben wie Lehrende und Lernende. Es gibt also ein großes Arsenal an Möglichkeiten so zu schreiben, dass der bayerischen Ministerpräsidentin ordentlich der Schädel glüht. @gschichten
In a forthcoming book that will surely arouse controversy, Jonathan Haidt argues that the over-protection of children in the physical world, and their under-protection online, combined with the rise of social media and mobile devices, explain declines in adolescent mental health as well as lower educational attainment. Here's the author's overview: jonathanhaidt.com/anxious-gene…
Some personal news: The Intercept laid me off 🫠, so I'm now in the job market! My current title is Director of Information Security micahflee.com/2024/03/the-inte…
Last month, The Intercept laid me off along with fifteen other employees — one-third of the newsroom. I'm officially on the job market. My current title is Director of Information Security.
In this video I discuss how Apple added post quantum encryption to their message app. iMessage is still proprietary, and still only works on Apples proprietary hardware, so while iMessage with PQ3 is...
I wasn't aware of this, but they have an early pull request on working on #PQXDH and they also stated that they are working on:
"Ongoing futureproofing work includes Post Quantum resilience via Kyber post-quantum KEM and PQXDH key exchange, as well as support for Messaging Layer Security (MLS, RFC9420) for improved scalability for group encryption."
Vyšla zase nová data mé oblíbené analýzy odpadních vod. Česko se umístilo v žebříčcích z Evropy poměrně vysoko. Praha má mezi hlavními městy první místo ve spotřebě pervitinu, v případě MDMA je třetí, v kokainu šestá, v konopí čtvrtá, v amfetaminech devátá. Zajímavé je, že nejvíc frčí perník v Ostravě. denikreferendum.cz/clanek/3617…
Nejnovější datové analýzy odpadních vod ukazují nárůst kokainu a extáze napříč evropskými městy. Česká republika stále zůstává na předních příčkách v konzumaci pervitinu.
we got you!
