@popey Great newsletter! I really like Alacritty, but with my low vision I absolutely NEED font ligatures:
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt

Everyone's disability is different. I am constantly struggling to make fonts large enough that I can actually discern / read them while fitting enough on the screen to do the thing I need.

Trying to visually disambiguate a 1-2 pixel wide line among a SEA of swimming characters is an INCREDIBLE struggle for me.

In addition to being blind in one eye and low vision in the other, I have astigmus, so my eye literally jumps around uncontrollably.

This is why accessibility is SO challenging.

Yeah, I wasn't denying that it's a legitimate problem.

Hallo zusammen! 👋

Wir haben einen Bericht über die Barriere-Freiheit in Sachsen-Anhalt veröffentlicht. 📰

Der Bericht ist in Leichter Sprache. 📝

Viele Menschen haben uns erzählt, was es für Probleme gibt. 🚧

Zum Beispiel: Treppen, schlechte Straßen und keine barrierefreien Toiletten. 🚽

We think our project's journey from nearly dead to thriving is an awesome story with lessons for any OSS project. Watch @ryanleesipes tell that story in today's #GUADEC keynote at 21:45 UTC/ 15:45 Mountain. @gnome is streaming their talks (thank you!), and you can catch his talk here: youtube.com/live/jS7NzYqxH3o?f…

Maybe rather than trying to shove AI and ads in every portion of Windows Microsoft should focus on not letting their cybersecurity partners take down computers and networks all over the world.

@pixelate I fuck Ai in general. People started to get dumber and more lazier because of it. I se it everydayin a way like: oh! gemini or chat gpt or blah blah blah will solve my problem instantly. They use it as such, without learning new skills themselves.


I’m talking today about parental controls and digital wellbeing, first locally in Berlin and then remotely in Denver, events.gnome.org/event/209/con…

Para el cliente medio se compra aparte, por ejemplo en mi trabajo tenemos el Falcon Sensor este de mierda de CrowdStrike y los ordenadores que actualizaron no arrancan. Pero también hubo problemas con la nube de Microsoft, Azure, porque usaban este componente. Así que un poco de cada.

Überlegungen zum #FahrradFreitag

Jetzt könnte man sagen, es kollidieren Interessen im August - die #CMKoeln vs. @SheDrivesMobility

Ob die #FahrradbubbleKöln eine Begegnung der beiden Veranstaltungen hinbekommt? Vielleicht radelt die #cmcologne ja gegen 18.15h über die Universitätsstraße, dumdidum. Und #katjadiehl, @kidicalmasskoeln und @radkomm holen gerade nochmals etwas frische Luft am #AlbertusMagnus -Denkmal, dumdidum.

@fahrradkoeln, wie steht's?
Katja, wäre das möglich?

#Libervia se joint aux autres signataires de la lettre ouverte pour soutenir #NLnet/le programme #NGI qui se voient couper le financement pour 2025.

C'est grâce à ce programme que je peux travailler actuellement à plein temps sur le projet, et que nous avons pu implémenter:
- la passerelle #ActivityPub <=> #XMPP
- le chiffrement de bout en bout à l'état de l'art
- Les appels audio/video 1:1, contrôle à distance et conferences (travail en cours)

BBC is doing extraordinary coverage of the #outtage

The ticker is followed by special live reporting worldwide bbc.com/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et…

#Crowdstrike #Azure

in reply to Sebastian Lasse

Extraordinary in the sense of unusual, maybe.
The sheer horror with which the reporter mentioned having to use a pen is just sad, not extraordinary.


Reports suggest that Sky News has also been affected, leaving many to beg Microsoft to not fix the outage.

NBN users in Australia have yet to notice the outage, thinking it is just the NBN running at normal speed.

We are pleased to be one of the many projects supported by the EU's NGI programmes, with NLnet's contribution.

Open, decentralized solutions are essential for user freedom on the Internet and for the resilience of our services. What would happen if one of these centralized services were blocked tomorrow?

The NGI programmes are a strength, let's hope they continue: pad.public.cat/lettre-NCP-NGI
