I believe the APH Braille Plus might have been one of the most innovative mobile devices for our community when it was released in 2007. But 17 years later, how does this device hold up? My latest video explores this, and the answer may surprise you. youtube.com/watch?v=R6Pt5iAOin…

@JonathanMosen I loved working with Mark and his family on the Icon/Braille Plus. Sadly I wasn't able to give them financial support at the time. If there was one team in the at industry that deserved financial support, it was them.
Got gifted a chilli growing kit years ago, and only managed to get it properly planted recently. It took a bit to get going, and at first we thought the seeds had spoiled; but now we’re finally getting a steady supply of 70-80k scoville chillies without having to hunt them down in shops
@scottishwildcat @hbons these are Apache chilli peppers, so: sun, and not watered a lot. They are also self-pollinating, so you need to brush the flowers when they open up. This plant has lasted two seasons, and it's very low maintenance, which is great because I can kill anything that is green either by obsessing on it too much, or by forgetting it exists the second I leave the room.
This former professional chili farmer/breeder is proud of you guys. If you ever get inspired and have a sunny window or can move a plant in and out for freezing weather, try one of the C. pubescens varieties. These are very hot, high altitude varieties that produce all year and like coastal environments. Here in the PNW they can produce all winter if they don't freeze. They produce fruit in cooler weather than C. annum.
They are colloquially known as "manzano" or "rocoto" and you'll know you've gotten the right thing if the seeds are black. Cuttings from your local chilihead will work too.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the blog post, it sounds like it's a foregone conclusion that this won't be adopted by Mutter or KWin? If that's correct, then why is that? Is there a schism between those big desktop environments on the one hand, and more niche Wayland compositors on the other?
@matt There is a bit of a schism between people who want Wayland protocols for window management and some of the other things that we used to have with X11 and the people who want those things done through software libraries or otherwise out-of-band.
But I don't think anyone's really stubborn about it. I think that if we just make really good software that uses this protocol, they'll give in.
@matt Honestly I am not so sure. **The** de-facto out-of-band mechanism, that is widely supported, is xdg-desktop-portal. And it has some pretty nice benefits, namely working just the same on X11 desktops (as long as they have some relevance) and built-in permission management.
Something which has always been an issue with wayland, given how securing privileged protocols isn't standardized and also not necessarily even possible (outside of sandboxes + security-context of course). As a result COSMIC will most likely not advertise these protocols to other apps (at least by default), while still heavily relying on it internally.
I view these kind of protocols as compatibility-layers between compositors and shell-components. I still hope eventually you will be able to just run the whole COSMIC DE with niri or sway for example, or exchange them for cosmic-comp in your existing home-grown setup and it will mostly work apart from some very DE-specific protocols/functionalities.
@swick I'm taking the liberty of removing a few people from the mentions, in case they don't want to keep watching this subthread. I feel I should do this because I started this subthread. I'm OK with staying on the thread myself, unless you think it would be better to remove me since I'm a relative outsider to the space (I'm working on a protocol extension for accessibility).
I hope this can be resolved peacefully so all the compositor developers can work together on common goals.
@YaLTeR @matt I could be honest and say what I see and think but then you'd probably use your power on the CoC committee to get rid of me for longer than just 3 month... which is very ironic
@YaLTeR @matt you explicitly said as a maintainer you will not accept code to implement the compatibility for certain portals. at least you're not denying that you seek power over projects to steer things away from dbus and onto clients using wayland protocols directly...
@YaLTeR @matt without a proper sandbox one can always hack around it if one wants to, but realistically you can restrict the globals to whatever you want and deter people from using it. i just believe that some people are not honest and want to push wayland protocols onto clients.
@matt in niri I only hide these protocols from security-context clients (i.e. Flatpaks). If I understand correctly, this is about as good as you can do?
@matt Yeah I hate, that it is waaay to easy to override PATH, LD_PRELOAD/LIBRARY_PATH, etc and protecting against that is annoyingly difficult.
We never put a socket with these protocols on the filesystem, but that doesn’t mean much, when you don’t know what you are executing. And running the shell-components without the users environment has the potential to break a lot of valid use-cases unfortunately…
@bagder a very belated reply to your 'Rust in curl' talk from curl-up ... I think we should deprecate hyper support ... if not mainly in that rust people just use plain ole curl rust bindings crates.io/search?q=curl .... even rust crate tool uses it. We could investigate if there is anything we can do to make those bindings work better.
There seems to be a lot of pending PRs ... issues ... just wondering if there are any plans for more active development that someone (like me) could contribute to - alternately thinking of a new se...
yes, it is certainly in line for deprecation. The only reason we have not pushed for that further just yet is that ISRG said they might have an engineer "soon" to work on it. It now seems that maybe was incorrect.
according to Steam stats, there are now more users with Linux than Mac. Steam Deck probably helped quite a bit I'm guessing. store.steampowered.com/hwsurve…
There are some Doctor Who stories which never seem to get the love they deserve, and this was certainly true of 'The Enemy of the World' before its recovery in 2013. Why was this classic adventure overlooked for so long?
Thank you for sharing this Salon article on collective denialism. It touches so many subjects including Olympic athletes competing with covid, Taylor Swift superspreader concerts, surveillance of cases and deaths, how covid is not a cold or flu but a multisystemic disease that leads to disability in kids and adults, economic fallout, vaccination, and finally MASKING for mitigation. Superb article that needs a wider audience. salon.com/2024/08/10/noah-lyle… #Covid #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

Yesterday, I learned from a friend that the software running the Evo E10 daizy book reader/digital recorder for the blind is based on, of all things, OpenWRT. Wait... what? Of course, you won't find that in any of the documentation. This friend only found out because he decided to telnet to the IP address associated with the E10 on his network. Also, the official website for this thing has an abundance of fantastic English. vin-vision.com/html/daisy_play…

It's called quishing when a criminal gets you on the hook via a QR code and you hand over personal information such as credit card details, passwords and your home address.
There are many hooks in our everyday environment today.
QR codes are found in hotels, gas stations, museums, restaurants, medical centers and many other places you trust. It takes a second for a criminal to cover a QR code with his own sticker. How would you tell the difference?
Via the fake QR code you are guided through a flow that feels like what you expect. It's just controlled by someone with nefarious intent.
The German magazine Auto Motor Sport reported earlier this week about how this affects gas stations. per.ax/autoqr
Imagine scanning a QR code at a charging station to start charging your electric car. You enter your credit card details and press start. But the charging doesn’t start. Because you just gave your card details to a criminal who put their own QR code sticker on the charging station.
A clever criminal will perhaps display an error message on the web page and redirect you to the real supplier, enabling you to start charging for real. In which case you may not even notice that money is being covertly withdrawn from your account until much later... or blame the charging supplier who is completely unaware...
But of course it doesn't just affect charging stations. It can happen anywhere.
Queuing systems at sampling locations increasingly rely on QR codes here in Sweden. Let's say a criminal covers this code with their own. You will arrive at a page that asks if you want to join the queue or pay the patient fee of 50 kronor in advance. You may know that you do not have to pay a patient fee. But does everyone know that? Maybe some will bite and pay.
If you join the queue, you will be directed to the correct queue. So not much to react to. And if you have paid the 50 kronor, you will then also be led to the correct queue.
The fake QR code can therefore go undetected for a long time.
As a company, do you know if someone perhaps has already covered your code and is quietly using it to create intermediate flows that steal personal data, or money? Do you have routines to check this? In some places, fake QR codes may live on year in and year out. Like a dripping data leak.
QR codes are in many cases a really, really bad idea from a security and privacy perspective. And it can be a real setback for your brand if people are duped on your premises. Or on your products.
So, do you encourage people to scan, or do you warn?
If I see a QR code in everyday life, I also see many ways to intercept and abuse it.
How did this vulnerability appear just about everywhere? It's as if QR codes have completely gone under the radar of security departments.
I will restructure this post for my blog/newsletter later, but didn't want to wait with my warning, after seeing the clear example from charging stations.

Due to mistaken origins, turkeys have different names around the world! They are called Hindi, which means “From India,” in Turkey, turkee in India, and galopoúla or moan barang, which means “French chicken” in Greece and Cambodia. But that’s not it; they’re also called la Dinde, or “Chicken from India,” in France; the shichimencho, or “Seven-Faced Bird,” in Japan, as their faces change color based on their mood; the Dutch Chicken in Malaysia, and gà tây or “Western Chicken” in Vietnam.
Možná by mě za to velká část národa zaškatulkovala jako "divnýho architekta", ale vážně se mi líbí bytovky ze 60. a začátku 70. let. Třeba tady je vidět snaha architekta o určitej akcent středový části pomocí tmavší omítky a drobnýho vyvýšení atiky, malý okýnka symetricky na středu mají nadpraží zarovnaný se sousedícíma oknama, a zábradlí na balkonech (pořád původní) jsou zajímavě z jedný strany doplněný závětrnou stěnou. Škoda, že těch bytovek se takhle v původní podobě dochovává čím dál míň.

Oh hey, forgot about this open issue lol. ChromeVox on ChromeOS is so dead. I made an issue for a feature to jump to the next/previous spelling error detected in a text edit area, and well, it's as dead as the ChromeVox What's new document. Oh wait they've not been sending out what's new emails to the ChromeVox email list since like version 94 or so.
More seriously though, a ton of schools, and jobs, are switching to ChromeBooks. I'm not saying one cannot be productive on a ChromeBook, because I was able to. But *only* with the help of Chrostini (Linux support) and Android apps. So like, you seriously have to use every single feature to get work done that's more than just Email and Google Docs.
I'm curious, how did Crostini help you be productive on a Chromebook? Were you able to run Emacspeak or a screen reader within the Linux environment? I'm guessing Crostini still doesn't make Linux GUI applications accessible with ChromeVox.
