HUGE thanks to @robb for writing a clear, easy-to-follow #guide on how to enable #Fediverse author attribution on blogs/websites - so that it will show up under the link card: rknight.me/blog/setting-up-mas…

I replaced #TTRSS by #FreshRSS. The reasons are:
👍 more features
👍 bigger client support
👍 bigger development activity
👍 better look.
I use this to consume #rss in form of links to content:
📰 new articles on my favourite media
📰 update news of several softwares
📰 read city hall info desk
📰 discover new youtube videos on my favourite channels
📰 discover new episodes of my favourite TV shows on iVysílání (sadly not natively, but using rss bridge)
And now back to podcasts. I was quite surprised, that all these apps are really bad in consuming podcasts. Especially when I want to add more episodes to queue and remember where I stopped last session.
So I installed separate #RSS stack for podcasts only.
🧩
I installed #NextCloud extension gPodder Sync. This does just job, it provides gPodder api. That's it. I like apps that do one thing and do it right.
This api can be used by client apps to synchornize
🔄 list of subscrubed feeds
🔄 listening state of each episode
🧩
Then there is another Next Cloud extension: #RePod .
It is a web client to the gPodder api, so I can list, subscribe and listen to all the episodes in the nextcloud web interface. That works nice.
The last piece of the puzzle is the android podcast client. Here the #AntennaPod does a really nice job.
It has all I need:
🎙️synchronizes everything with gPodder api
🎙️predownloads new episodes
🎙️has queue of episodes

Super handy for debugging HTTPS. Thanks @bagder.
What I most miss about Twitter when it wasn't evil is that I could publicly shame companies when they were stealing money from me.
#Ebay and one of their sellers have stolen £80 off me and it doesn't matter if I post it on here because nowhere now has the power and reach of old #Twitter
There is currently no way to damage the PR of a company unless you happen to go viral on TikTok or YT.
As a side note - NEVER buy from Ebay, there is no guarantee that your money is safe. None.

It is sad to note that the Zoom Conferencing client is becoming less and less easy to use.
It is becoming so bloated with features not necessarily associated with hosting meetings.
Even something as simple as scheduling a meeting does not work as easily as used to be the case.
A major JAWS script update is being worked on so as to hopefully make at least the process of scheduling meetings, and reviewing scheduled events, easier than is currently the case.
An accurate time as to when the update will be available cannot be given at present, but it is hoped it will be within the next two weeks.
I've been using the #Tusky app but I'm running into an annoying issue where if I switch out of the app while writing a post and switch back on, I lose my post and everything I typed up until that point.
I do use the native web app interface also so I'll probably just back to using that full time.

Fucking infuriated to recent see a tech writer call Safari a Chrome based browser

The article linked in my last boost (baldurbjarnason.com/2024/lisko… by @baldur) has buried in it the following unequivocal statement:
":And none of us should be using React."
I think those of us who agree with this message (I think I do) could do a better job of communicating it to those who aren't following the web development discourse. As far as my non-developer business partner knows, for example, React is still an uncontroversial industry standard.
@AKernelPanic and I recently went on the #AskNoahShow to talk about the upcoming Ubuntu Summit and the excellent speakers coming this year. We have folks coming from @matrix and @frameworkcomputer, but that's not all! You can hear all about this Summit this year and what we have planned by tuning into Noah's podcast 🎙️
The Ubuntu Summit is free to attend, with both in-person and remote attendance options. Use the link below to register 👇
In the spring, we conducted a survey asking the community a wide range of questions to help shape a fellowship for open source maintainers. This new 12-month program supports the people who work on critical digital infrastructure. Here are some of the insights we uncovered.

Apply for the fellowship through Sunday, October 20, 2024.
We're directly investing in the people behind the code. In the first year, we are allocating five available fellowship slots as follows: one employee and up to four freelance contractors.

Tak po dovolenkove pauze uz zase jedeme kampane. Prave jsme spustili prvni fazi pro Asher Rotha.
Ma upravene UI (mene naseho brandu, vice umelce) a je rozdelena na 4 casti. Postupne bude pribyvat hudba, vinyl, challenge i merch.
Tuto nebude nikde na streamu. Jako fakt Unreleased. To me tesi dvojnasob.
Pri tuneni noveho stylu pro kampane jsme si hodne hrali s fonty. Bitvu fontoveho parovani zatim drtive prohravame.
Kombinace, co se nam libila byl napriklad ten SUSE (ted ho tam mame jako Body i Display) a NeueBit, ktery tomu dodal krasnou umeleckou pixelovatost. Bohuzel je pekelne drahy a alternativy jsme nenasli.
@jiri_toman nedokazal by si pomoctct nejakou profesionalni radou?

Liskov’s Gun: The parallel evolution of React and Web Components

This is a bit of an experiment. Probably the longest essay I've published directly on my website. 🙂
Time for another lesson from my days fighting in the Mod Wars in one of Twitch's more famous and busy channels
A few years ago, the channel began showing the pronouns of presenters and guests on stream. And toxic gamer types complained incessantly, often in very overtly transphobic ways, regardless of whether anyone on-stream was trans. We banned every single last person who complained. I personally banned hundreds, it must have been a few thousand all together. Anyone who DM'd the mods to apologize/explain it was a misunderstanding got unbanned, but that was a tiny fraction of them; there were more than a few bonus-transphobia parting shot DMs, often aimed at me because I was the first mod alphabetically.
And after a few weeks of this slaughter... the chat became a civil paradise. It was a much healthier environment than before we began showing the pronouns and causing all the most toxic people to volunteer their identity at once. People who are really gross on one axis tend to be unpleasant on all of them.
🌟 #Sharkvember excitement is in full swing with Freedom Scientific's **Next Big Thing** contest! Last year, the winning idea was all about AI-generated image descriptions—a game-changer for accessibility! 🎉🤖 This year, the competition's fierce, and it's anyone's guess what brilliant idea will take the crown. Will it be another AI marvel, or perhaps something totally unexpected? 🤔✨
Submissions are in soon, and on November 19th, finalists will showcase their visionary ideas for JAWS and ZoomText. I can't wait to see the creativity and innovation at play this year! 😍💡 The thrill of seeing our accessibility tools evolve is so inspiring. We might just see new features that transform how blind and low-vision users interact with the world! 🌐👀
Catch the live event and let’s cheer for these pioneers pushing the boundaries of tech! #NextBigThing #Accessibility #JAWS #ZoomText #Sharkvember2024 🦈💙
