I had a #WeirdDream the other night.
touchscreens, if backlit from within at a certain frequency, allowed their content to be felt as well as seen.
So you could buy a 6 inch eInk display for about 30 quid and make a Braille display out of it.
Obviously it was just a case of then rewriting the firmware of every little thing with a screen to make it show Braile instead of print.

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is a lot to read, and also we missed the toot about last week.
In short:
- F-Droid client 1.21 was released, but you should wait for 1.21.1 before you update
- there were some bugs in DAVx⁵, Nextcloud and Tailscale, so be careful in updating these too
- we're working together with @Codeberg to get our builds from apps hosted there working again
- any much more

I guess I should do one of those posts that serve as an #introduction. Except this isn't my first time on Mastodon but hello to those that don't know me. Yet.
Well, hi, I'm Tony. I have a general interest in #tech. I'm also a fan of #DoctorWho. Not a big movie buff, but I like a good drama or comedy on #TV though.

What is the #XMPP Summit and should you go? 🧵
The XMPP Summit is a two day event for the people who write and implement XMPP extensions (XEPs). It is not a conference. There are no presentations. It is more like a round table discussion and active participation is encouraged.
Similar to an unconference at the beginning of Day 1 participants can suggest topics and others can indicate (via a +1) whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established
FediVerseExplorer likes this.
Nicoco reshared this.
If you have ever followed a thread on the standards mailing list or participated in a discussion on the public XSF channel it is a bit like that only in person.
The different topics are broken up by short breaks that are great for networking and getting to know other XMPP developers. (Think hallway discussion at other conferences.)
Interoperability is a big part of what makes #XMPP great. However agreeing on a common strategy or even establishing a rough priority for certain features can be hard.
I believe those in-person events do a lot in getting us on the same page.
If you are an XMPP developer (client, server, gateway) I strongly encourage you to come.
I keep saying 'developer' and use that as a shorthand for: To get the most out of the summit you should have a background in reading (and maybe even writing) XEPs.
If you don’t consider yourself a developer but rather an enthusiastic user or admin we regularly have booths at various conferences (FOSDEM, CLT, FrOSCon, …) that are a great opportunity to meet us.
If however you are a developer and always wondered what standards mailing list discussions would look like IRL you can find more information on the Summit here: wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/…
At the #XMPP Summit − after a topic is well-discussed and a rough consensus reached − someone needs to volunteer to write the XEP.
Last year, I volunteered to write the XEP for synchronizing read states across devices.
It's called Message Displayed Synchronization and is now in Last Call, where community feedback is gathered before a XEP becomes 'stable.'

The fact that the Whisper transcription service from OpenAI just fills out gaps and silence with nonsense, demographic stereotyping, perpetuation of violence and sexal innuendo should get it recalled.
But no, as long as OpenAI say they are continually working to improve the tool, everything is apparently good to go.
One example:
What the person said: “Someone had to run and call the fire department to rescue both the father and the cat.”
What Whisper transcribed: “Someone had to run and call the fire department to rescue both the father and the cat. All he had was a smelly old ol’ head on top of a socked, blood-soaked stroller.”

Viele Leser wünschen sich eine Betrachtung/Analyse von Lern- und Schul-Apps. Da ich bisher nur die App Anton von meiner Tochter kenne, benötige ich weitere Informationen, um mir ein umfassenderes Bild davon zu machen, welche Apps genutzt werden. Vielleicht sind ja auch einige Lehrer unter den Lesern, die ihre Erfahrungen teilen können?

Some of you may have noticed a new logo appearing in various places around the web.
🎉
We now have a new logo for Librecast thanks to @mray
You may already be aware of his work as he designed the #ActivityPub logo.
It's been a work in progress and if you're curious about the progress @mray has been livestreaming his progress as the design came to shape.

Instance PeerTube principalement dédiée aux directs. Bien entendu vous pouvez également publier vos vidéos favorites ici !peertube.stream
It's been a fascinating process. Mray also created the librecast matrix room, so he's a great community player. Having such a contribution is amazing, our ecosystem needs more than code. It needs people being inspired and contributing by documentation, packaging, talking to others about the projects you love.
Helping us to improve.
Thank you so much Robert, for contributing so much of your time to create this logo for Librecast!
We're happy to have you as part of our community.
