1 #million views! Today is a momentous day for the #WHY2025 #MCH2022 #SHA2017 Youtube account.

The video of a talk called "Non-Euclidean Doom: what happens to a game when pi is not 3.14159…" reached 1 million views on Youtube a few minutes ago.

The video is of course also on media.ccc.de and has reached almost a hundred thousand views there.

The recommended way to watch the video is media.ccc.de/v/mch2022-236-non…, but if you want proof of the milestone, check out youtu.be/_ZSFRWJCUY4

If you're thinking of going to why2025.org, the recurring Dutch hacker camp (@why2025camp), please sign up for one (or more!) volunteering shifts.

We would really appreciate it if you signed up for one of our AV shifts. Producing these videos takes a lot of effort from our volunteers and we can never have too many shifts assigned to a volunteer ahead of time.

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

A new report from European Commission's Open Source Observatory gives an in-depth analysis of #OpenSource policy across 15 EU and non-EU countries.

It shows that governments are adopting open source to enhance

🟡 data privacy
🟢 control over digital infrastructures

I was reading his wikipedia article and while it's hard to tell how seriously to take it, it says:

Tate was raised Christian[139] but later became an atheist.[140] By early 2022, he identified as a Christian again, and said that he tithed £16,000 to the Romanian Orthodox Church on a monthly basis.[141][142] After a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral in October 2022, he announced on his Gettr account that he had converted to Islam.[143][144][145]

Updated the JAWS to NVDA guide with a Common Problems and solutions section, in an attempt to tidy it up a bit.
feel free to either suggest what you would like to see included in the guide (except Eloquence), or edit it yourself.

GOOGLE WAS JUST RULED A MONOPOLY!

This wild day just got wilder! 😲

Here’s what the judge wrote:

After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.


This ruling won’t just affect Google but also Apple, Amazon, Meta, and every other Big Tech company that the DOJ is going after!

Let me be blunt. After decades of not doing anything about tech monopolies, the U.S. government just showed it is not playing games!

"Apple made a fateful decision that mobile-phone internet should be app-centric, not browser/website centric. Then Android copied their mistake."

Many interesting things in this article, but this is one particular gripe I have about today's Internet. I will go to so much unnecessary trouble just to avoid using somebody's app.

@com @miki Well, the initial mistake was when all the greedy consumer ISPs caused the Internet to go from IP (the protocol) -centric to Web-centric, effectively blocking all other protocols and services.

From that point, did it really matter whether it is web browsers or bespoke apps that dominate? Everything has to be shoehorned into TCP streams formatted as HTTP traffic, regardless of whether it is effective or not. We the users have already lost and have a subpar experience.

@ticho @com I think the mistake doesn't just lay with "greedy consumer ISPs", a lot of it was caused by opening up the internet to bad actors, the exhaustion of IPV4 space, an increased focus on privacy and the move to portable, battery-powered devices.

End-to-end connectivity with no firewall is the opposite of what users want because of security, static IPs are bad for privacy and impossible when people constantly switch between WiFi and cellular, and it's a terrible idea to allow unrestricted connectivity if you care about battery life.
