I appreciate XFinity for not doing outages in a row whilst I was delivering our 1-hour presentation as a team, but doing a string of them since about noon is playing cruel tricks on unsuspecting folks who are talking, say, during a Slack huddle and not realizing my net gave up its soul in the middle of that process. Huge thanks there, just, really fun.

Been testing the new O1-preview GPT model OpenAI has for simple accessibility questions, just explaining concepts that help me in my own responses for messages to colleagues for example. On average, it'll say "thought for 10 seconds" on them, sometimes 11. If you nudge it to think of nuances to the question or problem at hand, it does a lot better and superbly without needing later corrections to what it said because it thought of it without as much detail in the past. Love this.
in reply to Tamas G

Not saying it's the magic bullet that solves all output of the AI to not contain accessibility issues or errors, because I do think that's a bit far-cry unless it was prompted well, but it's improving, and at the very least it might avoid more common-found mistakes like color alone or using contrasting colors in general. That's my hope anyway.

question for people who rely on screen readers: what is a good way of notating "hey the next block of text is very unfriendly to screen readers, and only useful if you need my gpg key" succinctly?

@cachondo thank you. im guessing that paragraph tags can be skipped very easily?
in reply to lynn

most things can, the real problem is knowing there's nothing else after the nonsense. :)




Well almost got the new Iphone up and running but bloody hell there is a lots of passwords, Now where did I put my maston password is that the same password for tweesecake

ha yes, not as slick as windows yet. On my laptop, my fingerprint does it all. PHone is pretty good much of the time then it'll ask for one and my brain locks up

@cachondo No a real pain, but for the life of me I cannot remember the password for Twesecake.social


"Poslanec Huliak sa po skončení politickej debaty O 5 minút 12 prevrátil na stoličke a spadol na zem. Video bolo zdieľané na internete."

Ten primitív menom Huliak teraz žiada ospravedlnenie za to že spadol zo stoličky svojou vinou kde pred ním sedeli desiatky ak nie stovky hostí. Za čo? Za to že je tučný ako "..." a neohrabaný?

Ako sa zábery dostali na verejnosť? Tak ako unikajú informácie z policajného vyšetrovania o všetkom. Slovensko.

I sometimes get the question why I'm not allowing anonymous contributions to #OpenStreetMap via #MapComplete .

I've gotten the question again today, so I decided to write down why I'm not adding nor planning
this: github.com/pietervdvn/MapCompl…

in reply to Pietervdvn

if it helps to blame the OSMF ;), there's the historical precedent of editors that used proxy accounts getting blocked. Wheelmap gets a free pass mostly because it focuses on one tag and hasn't attracted complaints.

Is that new SSO code that Microsoft contributed useful for MapComplete?

in reply to Guillaume Rischard

yes, but I'm with the OSMF here. Even of there was no precedent, I'd still not allow this for the other reasons mentioned.

I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).

github.com/tutao/tutanota/issu…

The issue has been opened 6 years ago.

in reply to Skyper 💻🎧☕📖

Thanks for your comment. We agree that key verification is important & we have it on our roadmap. We are working on it already & we want to implement it in a way that works nicely together with key rotation. We enabled post-quantum encryption for new customers by the beginning of the year, now we are in the process of upgrading existing customers & then we will deploy key verification. We already mentioned key verification when releasing post quantum encryption tuta.com/blog/post-quantum-cry….


Finished!

I also didn’t mention the huge CSA (child sexual abuse) material problem on the Fediverse in our server-shutdown blogpost. Mostly because my exposure to that stuff happened in the early days of me doing moderator work here and after we had blocked most of the frequent offender servers it faded pretty quickly. But I’ve seen some messed up things that I’d rather forget.

But yeah, it’s a huge problem and I don’t think there’s been much progress other than blocking users or entire instances, which inly hides this material from most people (which is still useful) but doesn’t reduce it at all.

Ultimately you can never fully prevent this kind of material being shared between people but the structure of the Fediverse and ActivityPub as a protocol make it particularly easy to create ever new nodes in the network that spread this stuff around.

@theron29 I don't even know exactly why, it will be the weather and loneliness or both together. I'm doing well though.. classic.


Cops exist to protect property, not people. We've heard lots of reports of police and federal agents prioritizing corporate interests over search and rescue, wellness checks, and other essential services in the wake of Hurricane Helene.


I tried to sign up for a covid vaccine on ClicSante to see what would happen and got a message saying:

La campagne de vaccination contre la COVID-19 et la grippe est en cours. Les personnes faisant partie des groupes plus à risque et celles qui les côtoient sont invitées à prendre rendez-vous dès maintenant afin de recevoir le(s) vaccin(s) rapidement.

La prise de rendez-vous pour la population générale débutera le 16 octobre 2024.


@Foodiekenobi@mstdn.ca I think you were the one trying to figure out when they would start offering it here. It turns out the answer is October 16.

what we do is we go to the vaccination center close to us and walk-in.... as they do walk-in

Scripts for X/Twitter have been updated.
1. You can now press the Context Menu key (or Shift+F10) on a post. ALT+Windows+F10 is still available but this makes it easier for users.
2. If you enter a conversation by pressing Enter, you can now close it by pressing Escape.
3. Enhancements to pictures:
When focused on a post, it is still possible to press Control+Windows+I to scan an image, but the following is recommended:
A. Open up the post containing the image by pressing Enter.
B. Scan the image by pressing Control+Windows+I. This will now give you the more lengthy explanation using two AI services.
C. Press Escape so as to return to the post you have opened.
D. Press Escape again to return to the timeline.
If this procedure is followed, you will not lose your place in the timeline.

it seems that this is the issue i am experiencing right now. I am little bit disapointed that your alghorithms are treating me like spammer which I am not.

How many emails did you send within a brief period of time? Normally, these will occur when trying to send a single email to a large number of recipients in the CC/BCC fields. If you are needing to send newsletter style emails please use a service like MailChimp.


Re-reading "The McRib As Arbitrage" in light of the entire no work from home, return to office push, and I find myself genuinly wondering how much labor exists - how many _companies exist_, even - primarily to serve as a utility function for corporate real-estate arbitrage.

I cannot tell you how grotesque this is, the idea that this might be real utility of so many jobs, bullshit or otherwise.

But there are a lot of bullshit jobs out there.

And....

in reply to mhoye

I think I'm going to double down on this.

Companies that are forcing return-to-office aren't doing that to better fulfill their corporate mission. By clinging to antiquated ideas of what management does and what leadership is these companies have allowed themselves to be co-opted into propping up failing corporate real estate arbitrage schemes. That's it, that's the whole story.

Naozaj by ma zaujímalo vďaka čomu rastie (russká) #Republika. Vďaka #Hlas-u určite nie, vďaka #SNS tiež nie, keďže oni sa stále motajú okolo 5%. Odkiaľ teda získali tie 4%, vďaka ktorým sa dostali na takmer 8%? Žeby vďaka nevoličom?

@SuspiciousDuck Aký starý je profil, či autor profilu? Každopádne neviem odpovedať ani na jedno, keďže tento screenshot som mal iba odložený v mobile, a pochádza ešte z júla.
