FREAKING FINALLY
"Buttons are back, baby!! This piece has been 15 years in the making, more or less."
@mimsical in the WSJ on the resurgance of physical buttons for interfaces.
"Fundamentally, the problem with touch-based interfaces is that they aren’t touch-based at all, because they need us to look when using them."
Materiality and embodiment ftw.

reshared this
Migrating from @gajim apt to flatpak release. Do this so you don't loose encryption and history.
Migrate your data
When switching to Flatpak you might want to migrate your user data (accounts, history, ...) from your previous installation. Just copy your user data from/to the following directories:
Copy ~/.local/share/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/data/gajim
Copy ~/.config/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/config/gajim

Massive E-Learning Platform #Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen #AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.
Udemy will train generative AI on classes developed/users contributed on its site. It is opt-out (meaning, everyone was already opted in) with a time window... and opting out may "affect course visibility and potential earnings."
Udemy's reason for the opt-out window was reportedly because removing data from LLMs is hard. IMO, that would be the reason for making it opt-in, but here we are...

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?
"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…
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?
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).

"This issue has been opened for more than 6 years now, with no clear roadmap or even real consideration from the Tuta team. I have to say, I am disappointed.
You keep saying that "[...] Tuta [is] the most secure email service on the market.", but without key verification, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted emails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipients' public key. As explained by @llebout, "all users of Tutanota must trust Tutanota to not provide forged keys and perform an MITM attack". This is a significant flaw in the technical design of the platform, and it does not seem to bother you.

However, your post-quantum implementation has now landed but still no word on the key verification issue.

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.
