Today we celebrate German Unity Day!
👉 tuta.com/blog/germany-unity-da…
On October 3rd in 1990, Germany became one, and became a truly democratic country. 🗳️
We are reminded that we can't take the freedoms we currently enjoy for granted, including privacy & the freedom of speech.

Queridos mastodones linuxeros con discapacidad visual ¿qué sintetizador de voz usáis en linux?
Como profe de español, he creado varias mini-apps web que confían en el sintetizador de voz. Estoy acostumbrado a los de Windows y Android-Samsung (es decir, voces de microsoft, Google y Samsung) y en Linux las voces son horribles.
Aunque mi linux (Max Linux 11, basado en Ubuntu 24) incluye Orca, las voces son mucho peores que las de Orca en Windows.

I don’t own, and have no desire to own, a specialist player like the Stream. So my Action Button plays podcasts in Castro. Double-tapping the back of the phone skips forward 30 seconds. Triple-tapping the back of the phone skips back 30 seconds. A two-finger-quadruple-tap marks the episode as played and starts playing the next one.

Let 6 minutes of James Meadway’s Macrodose (from 1:30 minutes to 7:30) eloquently walk you through:
“Our wildly complex industrial capitalist economy, developed over the last 200 years, and refined – as in the semiconductor supply chain – into systems of exceptional complexity, was built for times of environmental stability and abundant resources. Those times are now coming to an end.“
"Bier’s first hit app, TBH, was marketed to teenagers and...it 'requested address book access before actually being able to use the app'. [...] Bier’s reputation for success is built on this growth hacking technique, so I understand why he is upset."
[...]
"Apple’s solution is imperfect. But if it stops the Biers of the world from building apps which ingest wholesale the contact lists of teenagers, I find it difficult to object."

IMO Apple's policy would have been exactly the right one, but only if it had been policy from the start.
As it stands, Apple basically took away contacts access for new apps while leaving existing apps unaffected. This is good in the short term and bad in the long term. Existing apps can make any changes they like (including changes to their privacy policies!) and it's going to be a lot harder to switch.
Do you have any experience in Python and GTK4? Do you want to help maintain an app with literally tens of users? Do you hate every web browser to the point you want to avoid it altogether?
Web Apps is the app for you (to help maintain)! I have marked a few issues as 'contribution welcome' here: codeberg.org/eyekay/webapps/is…
University is starting to keep me busier than usual, but I don't want to let it create yet another abandonware strewn in the GNOME ecosystem.

beta5 of NVDA 2024.4 is now available for download and testing. For anyone who is interested in trying out what the next version of NVDA has to offer before it is officially released,
In Beta 5 we have fixed an issue where the custom multiple key press timeout was not honoured when repeatedly pressing the NVDA key. There are also updates to translations.

Hurricane Helene drowned a key supplier of advanced microchip minerals | Vox
Who Will Care for Americans Left Behind by #Climate Migration?
—
#HurricaneHelene was the latest in a generation of storms that are intensifying faster and dumping more rain as the climate warms. It's precisely the kind of event expected to drive more Americans to relocate as climate change gets worse — leaving behind those who are older, poorer and more vulnerable.

It's a version of the IQ Meme. It shows a graph with a gaussian function representing IQ score on the X axis and percentage of people on the Y. The meme features a dumb looking drawing of a guy on the left, a crying nerd on top of the bell (middle of the graph), and a person looking like some sort of monk on the right. The title says "email address validation". On the person on the left (least IQ) reads "check if it has '@'". The crying nerd (average IQ) reads "3 full pages of one regular expression". The monk at the end of the graph (max IQ) reads "check if it has '@'".
Glad to see that some community members have stepped up and are taking huge role in maintaining and improving Bookworm.
I'm open for community contributions to some NVDA add-ons I've developed but no longer interested to maintain. all of them are very popular:
* Chessmart:
* Audio Themes NVDA add-on
* Spellcheck
Please get in touch if you're interested
So according to this thread, in addition to the AI resume screeners, I also have to contend with the fake job postings made as a fraudulent signal of growth to investors? Who cares if a thousand applicants waste their times applying?
No, sorry. The world is burning. I have more valuable things to do with my time than throwing resumes past AI screeners for fake jobs.
In related news, actively considering changing careers. Spent a few hours in court recently supporting families being mass-evicted by an Austin co-op. Even if the situation itself was bad, being present and wearing a support sticker felt like a better use of my time than continuing to build managed Postgres.
New: Two men stole more than $1 million from DoorDash workers by impersonating them with customer service, getting access to their accounts, then draining them. In some cases customer service workers were complicit, indictment says:
Nirgends begegne ich dem #Videokonferenzsystem #Zoom so oft wie in #digitaleKirche.
Mit meinem Bild von #Kirche, dass sich in der #DDR geprägt hat, passt das irgendwie gar nicht so recht zusammen. Da sehe ich wenig von der #Unabhängigkeit, #Selbstbestimmung und progressiven Herangehensweise von damals.
Vielleicht findet man diese Verknüpfung merkwürdig. Aber ich ahne langsam woher das Unbehagen kommt, was mich an manchen digitalen Entwicklungen bei Kirchens so beschleicht. Man kann es ebenso auf den Bereich #Office oder #SocialMedia übertragen.
Dieser Tage ist jemand auf meinen Vorschlag eingegangen statt Zoom #Jitsi zu nehmen und wir haben problemlos die Instanz des @luki@kirche.social genutzt, sie wird von engagierten Christen betrieben.
Sie erinnern mich an die 90iger. Es gab das #WWW noch nicht so wie wir es heute kennen, aber einen #Computerclub des #CVJM in #Chemnitz, der eine Instanz in dem weltweiten #Mailbox Netzwerk betrieb. Sie waren Wegbereiter einer nichtkommerziellen, selbstverwalteten internationalen #Vernetzung.
Einige wenige gibt es immer noch und es kommen auch neue hinzu, wie z.B. @librechurch@kirche.social oder @libori.social@libori.social. Ob dieser freiheitliche Geist in digitaler Kirche wieder stärker wehen wird?
@luki @librechurch @libori.social
Danke für die gute Frage!
Sie ist sicher nicht nur auf einer Ebene beantwortbar. Und es gibt keine einfachen Antworten.
Vielleicht wäre schon viel geholfen, wenn man sich auf einen gemeinsamen Weg machen würde.
Ein Aspekt: Digitale Tools sind anders als analoge. Der Hammer besteht aus Holz und Eisen. Es liegt in unserer Verantwortung was wir damit machen. Ein digitales Tool kann aus viel mehr Funktionen bestehen, als vordergründig erkennbar, besonders wenn es proprietäre Software ist. Welche (hintergründigen) Auswirkungen hat Software, die wir zur Kommunikation benutzen auf den Nächsten?
Wie @letterus@kirche.social in diesem Thread schon sagt "Den digitalen Raum als Gestaltungsraum wahrzunehmen, ist für die meisten ein sehr weiter Weg." Als Kirche könnten wir uns auf diesen Weg machen, und entsprechende Bildung anbieten 😉
A nice homage to the PC/GEOS operating system. Also lots of video clips that show how quick and zippy it was (remember, this thing is running on DOS-era hardware).
I made so many homework assignments using its word processor, and even a little newspaper. I even sent them a letter, asking for an SDK in Pascal rather than C!
(I think that was part of why I decided to learn C back in the day)

Wir sind nicht ein Land geworden. Und mit der AFD kämpft eine Partei darum, die Demokratie abzuschaffen und die Macht zu ergreifen!
What do you dream of?
We have not become one country. And with the AfD, a party is fighting to abolish democracy and seize power!
