NV Access

@morganlynn1992 There is a mention of it in the back of the module, but they are not intrinsically linked - IE we created the training material first and it is designed to teach you what you need to know to be efficient with NVDA. Then we created the certification - and although it is based on the concepts presented in Basic Training, it is not required - ie you could pass the exam based on what is in the user guide and other places

I learned about secure software development on the job, but like ethical computing (which I've talked about before), this should also be included in formal education. Because of the current threat models, topics like security by design and zero-trust frameworks are critical when developing Internet systems. linuxfoundation.org/press/linu…

More often than not these days I use the ChatGPt app on my phone to find things out, instead of the browser to search. Quite simply I find it easier and more efficient to have a conversation than type on a touch screen device.

With Apple Intelligence set to inject Siri with ChatGPt capabilities, the conversational UI is about to undergo another evolution - but this time I'm wondering if and how it'll change the way I use my screen reader too?

After two years of studying both languages in tandem, the Dutch school system generally has you pick one of them to continue on with. Mostly due to the problems outlined above, I was forced to stick with Latin even though I enjoyed Greek a lot more.

Announcing Android Reproducible Builds at IzzyOnDroid with rbtlog

IzzyOnDroid is the largest 3rd-party F-Droid-compatible repository of open source Android apps [...] It provides [...] additional security and transparency via multiple custom scans and checks.

rbtlog is a Reproducible Builds transparency log for Android APKs. [...] It allows anyone to easily run a rebuilder for any apps available from a git repository with release tags plus accompanying APKs built and signed by the developer.

We are pleased to announce "Reproducible Builds, special client support and more in our repo": a collaboration between various independent interoperable projects: the IzzyOnDroid team, 3rd-party clients Droid-ify & Neo Store, and rbtlog (part of my collection of tools for Android Reproducible Builds) to bring Reproducible Builds to IzzyOnDroid and the wider Android ecosystem.

@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.

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.

@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.
