@Tusky About that "bug" when #tusky hangs up while writing a shared post: now I gut that very same issue with a post shared from #bluesky towards #pachli.

So I guess it's an #android issue with #hyperos on my #xiaomi phone.

My apologies. It's quite confusing though ...



Manda huevos.

Lo dejo por aquí por si a otro le pudiese valer.

El otro día preguntaba donde comprar un repelente de agua para una chaqueta de ante o nobuck y no tenía ni idea.
Pues en el ultimo sitio que hubiera buscado.

En Decathlon venden. Si en una cadena de deportes, flipe 😊.

in reply to modulux

@modulux Si, pero en zapaterías de esas de barrio de toda la vida.

Esas ya casi no quedan.

Yo de echo aquí en Palma no conozco ninguna por donde me muevo.

Son todo cadenas grandes de zapatería y por ejemplo si quieres unas plantillas o cordones o limpiador de zapatos te buscas la vida en otro sitio por que solo y exclusivamente venden los zapatos.

Antiguamente en una zapatería se compraban los zapatos y todo lo que conllevan.

Es lo que se esta perdiendo en comercio de cercanía.



Tengo una pregunta ahora que leo sobre esto. ¿La iniciativa "Tax the rich" no podría dar como resultado un segundo movimiento llamado "rich leaving the country"?

My plea to all iOS apps developers for 2024: for the love of everything that is humane, use Apple's native photo picker. Was trying to get started with a couple of apps that require a photo upload and all VoiceOver kept saying was "Thumbnail, button" "Image, button" "Photo, button". Only yesterday I figured it is possible to get the native experience when uploading a screenshot for a technical support representative to see. I have a lot of photos where I know what's on them and that they're the ones I want to upload but I need at least the date they were taken. Thanks! #Accessibility #Blind #Apple #iOSDev #VoiceOver

Exciting update about the hackfest: We will now offer lunch for participants of the hackfest. 🍲

The lunch will cost about 8 Euros. A friend volunteered to cook for us with the deal that any extra funds would go to the local social bicycle association Efesta (efesta.net), which we both are part of.

The event will be so much bigger than I anticipated, already more than 15 people signed up.🎉



If anyone is wondering how pkpass support in Catima is going: I would summarize it as slowly but steadily. It has definitely been a way bigger undertaking than planned, and unexpected issues may still show up, but the end seems to be in sight.

Basically, the feature consists of two parts:
1. Code to read a .pkpass file and turn it into a loyalty card object.
2. Adding a pkpass option when selecting a source.

Easy enough, right? Well... (1/3)

OUTDATED⚠️
Mozilla bought the Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

The Thunderbird developers listened to their users and removed tracking entirely. Only the beta version of version 8 contained the telemetry. The final release no longer does, at least for now.

Last year, Sainsbury's awarded me the dubious honour of being the 6th biggest buyer of Double Deckers in my town. My main objective this year isn't career progression or personal happiness, it's to be in the top 3 buyers of Double Deckers in my town.


I'm about to finish an audit of 42 webcomponents. The devs did a great job because pretty much none of them had detectable issues in axe. Still, only 8 of these 42 components have no critical issues. I only discovered those bugs through manual testing.

Long story short: automatic accessibility testing is only the first step. Manual testing is a must. Also, hire an accessibility expert if possible.



Pregunta seria: ¿por qué es buena la solución de 2 estados en Israel/Palestina?
in reply to modulux

@modulux Sería como legitimar la colonización. Y el estado palestino, luego a luego, será un microestado
in reply to ChuS

Sí, pero legalmente hay un estado soberano, y es difícil ver como podría revertirse esa situación para que haya una única Palestina plurinacional con derechos iguales para todos. Yo lo preferiría, pero no tengo ni idea de como llegar ahí.


"Das Wort „krank” feiert gerade sein Comeback in der Alltagssprache, oder kommt es nur mir so vor? Ständig hört man jemanden „krank” sagen, um etwas stark zu betonen.

🗣 Das ist „krank” anstrengend gewesen.
🗣 Es war „krank” viel los.

Oder auch einfach nur:
🗣„Geisteskrank!”, um Erstaunen auszudrücken.
🗣 Das ist ja „krank”!

Hier ein paar Wörter, die du stattdessen sagen kannst:
💭 sehr, doll, stark, krass, heftig, mega, überraschend, unglaublich"

Those "Sign in with Google" pop-ups on every second website really start driving me nuts. #Google

@TheCube For me, it's escape... oh, didn't work... escape again... press space on the close button a couple of times... press escape a few more times... Something eventually works. I hate that crap!
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox @TheCube We need to flood Google disability answer desk with complaints then. Because again, I'm deeply concerned that other big corporations will do that, and that's a door to hell.

'MP in fresh bid to change law on assisted dying
'

What are your thoughts on this, I am for assisted dying if the alternative is a long drawn out painful death.

in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo

Assisted dying?

Yes it seems somehow cruel to humans to me.

I do think if it comes into Law a person needs to sign up for it when they are young and fit though.

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

Hoy se me olvidó saludar. A tope con la orden de delegación. Como en todo, hay modas, y estamos reorganizando la técnica normativa.




Whats up with people and phone/video calls on speaker in public? I'm sitting in an airport pub and people are spreading out their private details all over the place. Makes me think that all this privacy talk is just garbage, because people actually don't care.
in reply to Jakob Rosin

the rather awful uncomfortabletruth is the people that care about privacy are a minority. A loud one but still.

Sometimes ChatGPT app's Voice mode might get disconnected due to Internet or server issues. As it happens, an error message appears on the screen with a Retry button. However, both TalkBack and Jieshuo remain silent, and the error dialog can't be accessed by them. Fortunately with Jieshuo's Virtual screen or full-screen text recognition, we can not only access the error message, but select the Retry button. While this is a misstep on the part of GPT devs, it's great that Jieshuo has such a tool.


I learned a new git trick this morning. I wanted to update an acceptance test I wrote a few weeks back as part of a bug fix, but couldn't remember the file I modified. With a test suite of hundreds of files, there was no way I was going to comb through them all.

Instead, it's possible to show all files in a directory you changed with the following command

```
git log --since="1 month ago" --author="your-email@example.com" --name-only --pretty=format: -- <directory_name>
```

Worked a treat.



This should scare everyone:
" In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadn’t read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped."

We are educating morons.

They're going to be running the country and companies.

Russia is deliberately leaking chemical waste into the Desna River, wiping out wildlife. Typical.

Anyone used #NotebookLM and managed to get it into a state where everything you download is the first thing it generated, despite being in a totally different note? I also can't find a way to delete old notes.


Coders! Learn how to extend #LibreOffice's source code, and add dialog boxes to the UI that are easily available across different source code modules: dev.blog.documentfoundation.or…



The fuck's up with #EventBright telling the #ScreenReadre that there's a countdown timer running when you're trying to sign up for an event? Every second of a 20-minute timer was being spoken allowed. Is that OK? Really? Which utterly incompetent twisted fuck-knuckle thought this was a good idea?


Great news, @nlnet will fund my FOSS projects @foss_warn and @foss_public_alert_server. This allows me to make #FOSSWarn a much bigger project than I initially imagined.

With the funding from nlnet, I will build the FOSS Public Alert Server (together with @VolkerKrause) and integrate it into FOSS Warn. That means FOSS Warn will not only get real push notifications via #unifiedPush but will also support way more countries than now.

I’m really excited about that possibility. 🚀



If only @Tutanota could provide an email alias service, like DuckDuckGo emails or SimpleLogin by Proton...it would be awesome.

DuckDuckGo aliases is free and unlimited, but after the terrible experience with Skiff, I'm scared of these "free" services. How long it will be sustainable for Duck?
And Proton is just too expensive. The Mail Plus plan gives only 10 aliases, which is not in line with my need. The Unlimited is too much for me.

If only Tuta would provide that too..

@Tuta
in reply to Alessandro B

Thanks for your feedback. You can create 15 aliases using our domains, and if you have added a custom domain to your account you can create unlimited aliases.

We are considering how to introduce a similar aliasing feature for future release.

Thanks for your feedback. We plan to add such a feature as well!


Wow Coldplay's new album drop "Moon Music" is calming and good, it's really what the world needs right now, listened to the unplugged commentary SeriusXM did for the album release.
