@thomas you're barking at the wrong tree – that's just a "reduced preview" integrated with the app lists (guess I should really disable that). Look here: apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.z… – and yes, it's RB, congrats! @obfusk

@thomas The "main repo" is what I just linked: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid – and that would not link to android.izzysoft.de 😉 But that's exactly what I mean: for convenience, in the past I integrated the repo browser with that site (runs on the same machine). But keeping the UI in sync is just too much overhead. Would I know a way to *embed* the "main repo" there in a nice way, I'd do that. But simply linking out would "break out" of the site… @obfusk

It is time once again for me to ask all #unix #retrocomputing enthusiasts to dust off their old iron and run a test program. This one's about corner cases of mmap().

paste.sr.ht/~zackw/69f6fe80133…

I want to know about OSes that fail one or more of the tests, no matter how old they are.

I have already tested current versions of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX, and Solaris. Further testing with these is only useful if you can identify an exact version number where something changes (e.g. "FreeBSD prior to version x.y fails tests A, B, C"; "AIX prior to version w.z does not recognize XPG_SUS_ENV=ON"; that sort of thing). I don't expect any CPU dependence for this test, but if you discover some, that is also worth knowing about.

Please report results by following up to <lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aut…>. (You can write to this mailing list without subscribing.) Please do not reply to this post with results, or email me directly.

(I'm happy to talk about the test itself on here, say if you want help understanding what's being tested or you're having trouble getting it to compile or like that. But I really need all the results in one place.)

Please spread this call for testers widely.

Any thoughts here on Fedi about the ISO week date system? Under it today's date is "2024-W31-3" (or "2024W313" in compact form, which I like less).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week…

I actually kinda really like it in concept and want to learn to use it. I've set up my bar to show me both the week date and the standard ISO date, to hopefully help me start getting a feel for it.

leap week calendar system in which weeks start on a Monday and the first week of a year starts from the Monday closest to 1 January; e.g. Thu. 31 Dec. 2009 is 2009–W53–4

If you're an EU citizen and you hate DRM and planned obsolescence, here's an easy petition for you to sign:

stopkillinggames.com/eci

TL;DR: If online-only DRM servers shut down, publishers would be required to keep your game working regardless.

Only targets video games because that is where this practice is by far the most prevalent today, but it would set a precedent that we might soon need for things like phones, cars, and all the other things that are increasingly getting CPUs shoved inside them.

1 year to reach 1 million signatures.

Are you running Chrome 127 on Windows? I can use your help for a quick test.

1. Go to this URL:
cdpn.io/pen/debug/bGLrYBo

2. Zoom or resize so the table has a scrollbar at the bottom.

3. Without using your mouse, Tab to the table.

4. Use your arrow keys to scroll it left-right.

If it works, cool. If not, less cool. I have a case of someone where the keyboard scrollable containers feature added in Chrome 127 does not work.

If you read this from the Google Chrome Developer Blog, when do you expect this feature to be available?

Ref: developer.chrome.com/blog/new-…

#accessibility #a11y

Post title: “New in Chrome 127.” Index of topics in post shows “Keyboard focusable scroll containers.”
Heading: “Keyboard focusable scroll containers.” Circled in the second paragraph: “From now on scrollers are click-focusable and programmatically-focusable by default.”

New in Chrome 127  |  Blog  |  Chrome for Developers

Chrome 127 is rolling out now! With support for font-size-adjust, user activations propagated in the Document Picture-in-Picture API, keyboard focusable scroll containers and there's plenty more.

Confirmation that this feature is not really in 127:

“Currently, 10% of users see it. By 128, 100% of users should expect keyboard focusable scrollers to be enabled by default.”

“Because we need to be a bit nimble as we do that ramp-up, we didn't put all of the nitty gritty details of that ramp schedule into the blog post. But it's true that some people will see this feature enabled in M127, potentially up to a majority of users.”

So Chrome’s claim was 90% wrong.

I rather resent the fact that trillion dollar companies are relying on end users to perform #accessibility testing. Google, Microsoft (GitHub), Apple (Safari), Amazon, etc.

@vick21 “From now on scrollers are click-focusable and programmatically-focusable by default” is not the same as enabled for 10% of users today and then later up to 100%.

Given the feedback to the Chrome Developers blog post announcement language question that I asked here and elsewhere, I am not alone in thinking the feature was available for everyone.

Chrome appears to be first to have hit all the 2024 Interop #accessibility test goals:

While I want more (more done, more aggressive goals, etc), this is good. Kudos to the team for getting there.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry delete that platform.

Edited: apparently the tweet about "weird" being a slur is a fake and has been debunked, so I am taking it down (see, even I have to check my sources sometimes!) However, I am leaving the post up and replacing the fake tweet with a real one where he calls the word "cis" a slur and whines about how he will punish people who use it.

Elon Musk: "Targeted harassment against my account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words "cis" or "cisgender" are considered slurs on this platform.

Open source nonprofits are weird. Why don't they just focus on hiring more developers?

The answer is long and complex, but the short version is that open source nonprofits are weird because they (need to) go beyond tech.

Here is a tale about fiscal status, fundraising, governance and two worlds colliding.

A particular thank you to @al for demystifying the world of nonprofits for me, and @richlitt for sharing his extensive nonprofit experience.

ergaster.org/posts/2024/07/31-…


Why are open source nonprofits so weird?

In the open source industry, creating an American nonprofit to serve and fund a project is not uncommon. These structures can choose a fiscal status depending on their needs within a wide range defined by the IRS.

I hope that one day Thunderbird will get a way to use colours in message list to show threads with unread messages.

Upgraded from 115 to 128 and partially read threads with new messages are marked with few green dots. Like "Upcoming libpkgconf soname bump in Rawhide" thread on screenshot. For me it is barely visible.

Does AI entice people to buy?

No. No it does not. People are less likely to buy things when AI is a part of the product description.

Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.
