There are two solutions to ARIA Live Region issues:

1. Don’t use ARIA Live Regions (but use focus, dialogs, or other managing of what’s going on)
2. Put the live region in the DOM at page load (They cost nothing. If you need an alert and a status, put two divs in with both roles.)

I love this part also. The #CSAM regulation proposal is full of how it is all great for privacy, and then it hits you with this. Apparently this is scanning of all OUR photos, not of theirs: patrick-breyer.de/wp-content/u…

Odnoszę wrażenie, że to całe gadanie o dostępności to jest często taki PR - mówimy o tym jak nam pasuje, ale realnych problemów nie rozwiązujemy.

Jak to jest, że ktoś kto troszkę wypada poza standardową metryczkę klienta banku nie może założyć konta? W Polsce są pewnie dziesiątki tysięcy takich osób.

Jeśli bank nie respektuje pełnomocnika notarialnego, to powinien płacić nie wiem jak grube grzywny.

in reply to Robert Drózd

No dostępność w bankach to jest niezła zabawa. Tam są z jednej strony pchane przez USA regulacje KYC/AML przeciwko praniu pieniędzy, finansowaniu terroryzmu i innym takim, z drugiej faktyczna dostępność, i to nie jest łatwo pogodzić.


"If you walk by my office, you'll often hear me cursing at a computer. It is always the same curse: "FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP HELPING ME!" You're not good at it, you don't know what I want, just get out of my way. Every time I get a new computer, I spend about an hour turning off all automated assistance so I can get some actual work done. Predictive text is always wrong. Auto type and auto format are always wrong. And now here comes Gemini."

Ein unglaublich guter Beitrag.

Ein mit so viel Zurückhaltung geschriebener Beitrag, der die Schamesröte in das Gesicht so vieler Akteur*innen treiben sollte, die sich stattdessen täglich selbst beweihräuchern.

Alle Probleme sind on point in den Text verflechtet.

Štve mě to politikum, které maximálně ovládlo diskusi a vývoj ohledně digitalizace státu.

Společně s kolegy z oboru jsme dali dohromady náš odborný postoj k budoucímu směřování digitalizace služeb veřejné správy.

Míň nás zajímá, kdo za co může, ale víc to, na co je teď potřeba se soustředit, abychom pokračovali v započatém trendu a zachování stabilní a kontinuální priority digitalizace na nejvyšší politické úrovni.

No he visto opiniones en el fedi, así que pregunto: ¿que os parece la idea de Rueda (presidente de la Xunta de Galicia) de crear una empresa pública comercializadora de energía?

xunta.gal/es/notas-de-prensa/-…

in reply to modulux

Que eso es una idea de hace muuucho tiempo del BNG.

Y que ahora tiene a todo el sistema mediático a su servicio limpiándole (mas) el sable y haciéndole campaña.

in reply to Mon

Es verdad, y no solo del BNG; pero no deja de sorprenderme que haya tirado por ahí, especialmente después de haberlo rechazado tanto tiempo.

No sé si hay que ver flexibilidad ideológica, oportunismo, un poco de cada... O que a lo mejor está cambiando el sentido común sobre este tema.

Happy 100th birthday, President Carter! Thank you for your friendship, your fundamental decency, and your incredible acts of service through @thecartercenter. Michelle and I are grateful for all you’ve done for this country.


Vice President Harris will appear on the show, "60 Minutes," the highest-rated news program on TV, airing Oct. 7.

Trump has turned down the offer of back-to-back conversations with both presidential nominees,
-- his campaign says he didn't want interruptions for fact checks.

I have had a lot of people ask about the test to becoming a ham radio operator, one resource is hamstudy.org/

The test is a multiple choice test, with the answers already published, plus a few simple math formulas. I have heard of people studying for a week or two and cramming the question/learning the formulas and getting their license immediately. I personally recommend getting the license FIRST before worrying about operating the radio/etc., as it's a lot easier to have a license and have someone guide you through the actual operation after you can transmit on the air.



I'm a professional! 🏆

Die @openhomefoundation freut sich übrigens über Sprachschnipsel eurer Stimme. Es soll nur "OK NABU" eingesprochen werden, also viel einfacher als etwa bei #commonvoice
Gerne so viele unterschiedliche Sprecher wie möglich, damit später dies wakeword zuverlässig erkannt wird :clippy:

@fexplorer die Erkennung lebt ja von der vielfältigen Aussprache von verschiedensten Menschen. Später sollen noch weitere Wörter / Erkennungsnamen hinzu kommen, aber man muss ja erst einmal irgendwo anfangen. Ist ja auch nicht ganz einfach etwas international unproblematisches zu finden #phonetik
in reply to blub

Das verstehe ich schon. Aber wie soll man das nun sprechen? Deutsch? Zu NABU gibt es zu unterschiedliche Varianten. Manche sprechen solche Kürzel nicht als Wort sondern als einzelne Buchstaben. Finde das nahzu unbrauchbar für ein key word ... An wen kann man sich da wenden? Wer legt diese Wörter fest?

I read about the Zig programming language website moving from AWS to a dedicated server at Hetzner. ziglang.org/news/migrate-to-se… I like the spirit of frugality and (relative) independence behind this. I wonder if more of that can be brought to Rust. As for using Zig itself, I don't think I can get on board with using a systems language without at least Rust-level safety guarantees for new projects.
in reply to Matt Campbell

That's fine while you're small, but I don't know how rust CI would go paying market rates for hardware, you'd probably have to give up on bors. And then there's crater... (fwiw that is a "don't know" in the literal sense, I'm not sure how much CPU time is needed to keep CI responsive enough, but I suspect it's reasonably significant. maybe oxide can donate a rack!)

@Gankra On the other hand, you might worry more about compile performance if you had to pay for the CI :')

"Da erklärte die AfD die Grünen zum angeblichen Hauptfeind unserer Gesellschaft und alle machten mit. Man kann mich gerne korrigieren, aber noch nie in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik haben die Grünen den Bundeskanzler gestellt. Aber es wird immer so getan, als wenn sie seit 30 Jahren an der Macht wären und niemand sonst. Der Tonfall etwa aus CDU und CSU gegenüber den Grünen unterscheidet sich nicht von dem der AfD. Das unterhöhlt die Demokratie, das ist zersetzend, weil sich die Parteien so koalitionsunfähig machen."

Sehr treffen formuliert von Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk.
Dieser Feldzug gegen andere Parteiein, die fest auf dem Boden der Demokratie stehen, ist ein Irsinn, der die Union kein Stück voran bringen wird!

I’ve published my article on the Impact Hero SDK (as used by at least 16 browser extensions) and the refoorest extension. The company behind these is the France-based Colibri Hero, also known as allcolibri: palant.info/2024/10/01/lies-da…

Trust me, the article title is justified. I couldn’t believe it when I saw how everything they claim turns out to be a lie. Their line of business is commonly called “affiliate fraud,” so they carefully avoid this topic and instead make the impression of being supported by altruistic companies that genuinely care for our planet.

They promise to plant trees if people use their extensions but their numbers are all fake. The numbers displayed by the extension don’t add up to the numbers shown on their web page. Maybe they should have implemented access control if they didn’t want anybody to figure that out. And the numbers on the web page – well, these have been increasing at a constant rate of 20 trees per hour for the past four years, completely ignoring what their extension users did or didn’t.

Do they actually donate any money? Probably, I don’t know. They don’t disclose their finances, and if they did these would probably turn out fake as well. Should anyone trust them? No, not from what I saw. Should these extensions be nuked from orbit (or at least from the add-on stores)? Yes, absolutely.

There is more “fun” stuff going on here, so feel free to read the article.
