#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:

Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
rys.io/en/171.html

Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.

Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.

Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.

They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.

Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici…

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.


Malicious Plugin

Greetings everyone. It is with much regret that I am writing this post. A plugin, ss-otr, was added to the third party plugins list on July 6th.

I really like the idea of, instead of collaborating on a document via (for example) Google's servers and Google Docs, being able to have collaborators' computers talk to each other directly and share edits that way.

I really hope that "local-first" gains at least the sort of steam the FOSS movement has — as I've seen people comment, FOSS doesn't help if your computation is happening on someone else's computer.

Local first has some really gnarly problems that you pretty much need centralized servers to fix, one way or another. Direct connectivity between people isn't possible any more. THe fact that most people are on devices that heavily restrict background app activity to make the batteries actually last, the IPV4 shortage, lack of IPV6 adoption and CG NATS don't help either.

Isaac Hayes III posted on Sunday that ♦️Donald Trump and his campaign have been served in their #federal #lawsuit alleging 134 instances of #copyright #infringement.

Just like anyone else, ⚠️political campaigns are not allowed to use music for their own gain without permission or buying a license.

Since Trump has continued to violate the copyright of the Hayes estate, 🔸an emergency federal hearing was granted on September 3.

By choosing to disrespect the rights and work of others, Donald Trump is now forced to show up in federal civil court as the defendant in a case that could cost him millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, your New Features video is completely inaccessible to blind users since all I hear is music. There's no audio description or verbal narrative of any kind. Admittedly, you do have the transcript which is certainly accessible and it does help but at that point I'd rather just read the page containing more details about the new features.

It has been three and a half months since I announced “I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.”

For that, I was granted a stipend by Google Open Source. And, I would say: I delivered on this promise—see for your self, with the next release of Papers.

Now, my project is over (but I am here to stay), and if you want to read a bit more about what I did, I’ll humbly recommend my blog post: blogs.gnome.org/camelcasenick/…

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!

NV Access

@dhamlinmusic Thanks for your help! To be honest, aside from about yourself, 99.9% of the time #NVDA is used to refer to NVIDIA stocks, it's spam / scam - I certainly wouldn't follow the hashtag for stock information - I'd follow the Stocks or Finance hashtags you also use. I'd be surprised if it's the only one - just looking back through, 99% of toots about SNOW are not about the stock - and that's what I was trying to do - ensure people following a hashtag get primarily ONE subject

NV Access

@jscholes @jcsteh That was my reasoning for pushing the stock people to use the company name. If you use NVIDIA, there's no confusion - there is no other entity that I'm aware of called NVIDIA. And even though their code is NVDA, the screen reader IS much more widely known as NVDA. Users who have followed us post-twitter, might not actually know what NVDASR is. In any case, if we use NVDA and stock people use NVIDIA, then everyone can follow what they actually want - one, the other, or both

After a lot of work, I got Windows TTS for Doom pretty much the same as it has been in Linux for a while now. While working on the Windows version, I noticed that a lot of people who were playing wre not native English speakers.

I added in a setting so that the language could be set, and if the language is not English it uses Google translate to translate the text to their specified language before sending it through as speech.

I am wondering how many people who use the Linux version in Linux Game Manager would be interested in this functionality?
