The #curl project will publish another CVE next week. It is a one of those boring low severity kinds that will be a concern to about three users. But an issue nonetheless.
Stay tuned for the ridiculously detailed advisory coming on November 6. CVE-2024-9681
Leasey 9.1 is released. This supports JAWS version 2025 and earlier.
Anyone who has a license for version 9 can use this product.
Note: This is not an update so is not available via check for updates.
Please be sure you are installing the product you are licensed for.
If you are installing JAWS 2025 for the first time, please be sure to read the JAWS 2025 Setup Guide. Just go to any page on the web site and look for the term 2025.
For anyone who needs help installing JAWS 2025 and Leasey, please be sure you have Remote Incident Manager installed. Installing RIM is the only way you can be assisted.
Again, there is a link to RIM on every page of the web site, close to the top.
A day and time can then be arranged with you to install the software and check the computer is optimised for best performance.
Thank you to our loyal beta testers who have tested this version. This has not been the smoothest of processes.
In many ways, JAWS 2025 handles controls and environments very differently than any previous version which has been in place for many years, and a balance has had to be struck as to what we should fix through Leasey and elements which should be left alone.
Enjoy using the product!
After Christmas, the process of building Leasey version 10 will begin.

We are very pleased that we can announce this a bit earlier than last year: There will be gyms - aka repurposed sports halls - for sleeping on #38C3 again.
They will be free for angels that already have worked.

Please, please, please stop using ARIA if you don't now what you're doing. Don't reinvent the wheel. HTML is pretty great.
First Rule of ARIA Use:
If you can use a native HTML element or attribute with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so

Two students who discovered a novel proof of the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem.
While still in high school, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of a right triangle's two shorter sides are equal to the square of the triangle's longest side (the hypotenuse).
Mathematicians had long thought that using trigonometry to prove the theorem was unworkable, given that the fundamental formulas for trigonometry are based on the assumption that the theorem is true.
Jackson and Johnson came up with their "impossible" proof in answer to a bonus question in a school math contest.
They presented their work at an American Mathematical Society meeting in 2023, but the proof hadn't been thoroughly scrutinized at that point.
Now, a new paper published Monday (Oct. 28) in the journal American Mathematical Monthly shows their solution held up to peer review.
Not only that, but the two students also outlined nine more proofs of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry.

Just "released" the first usable version of #Convo, an #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS and #JioPhone feature phones!
git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con…
I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦
I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

A propósito de nada, voy a citar al gran timonel.
Mirar hacia otro lado en aras de la paz y la amistad cuando una persona claramente se ha desviado y abstenerse de la discusión fundada porque se trata de un viejo conocido, un paisano, un compañero de clase, un amigo cercano, un ser querido, un viejo colega o viejo subordinado. O tocar el tema de refilón en lugar de profundizar en él, para quedar bien. El resultado es que tanto la organización como el individuo resultan perjudicados. Éste es un tipo de liberalismo.
Hacer críticas irresponsables en privado en lugar de presentar activamente sugerencias a la organización. No decir nada a la gente a la cara sino chismear a sus espaldas, o no decir nada en una reunión pero chismear después. No mostrar consideración alguna por los principios de la vida colectiva sino seguir la propia inclinación. Este es un segundo tipo.
Dejarse llevar por la corriente en lo que no nos afecta personalmente; decir lo menos posible aun sabiendo perfectamente que algo está mal, actuar como persona de mundo y jugar sobre seguro buscando sólo eludir la responsabilidad. Este es un tercer tipo.
No seguir las órdenes sino dar prioridad a las propias opiniones. Exigir una consideración especial de la organización pero rechazar su disciplina. Este es un cuarto tipo.
Dedicarse a ataques personales, provocar rencillas, despechar el rencor personal o buscar venganza en lugar de entrar en debate y luchar contra puntos de vista incorrectos en aras de la unidad o el progreso o de hacer el trabajo correctamente. Este es un quinto tipo.
Escuchar opiniones incorrectas sin refutarlas e incluso escuchar comentarios contrarrevolucionarios sin denunciarlos, sino tomárselos con calma como si nada hubiera pasado. Este es un sexto tipo.
Estar entre las masas y no hacer propaganda y agitación, ni hablar en las reuniones, ni realizar estudios e investigaciones entre ellas, y en cambio ser indiferentes hacia ellas y no mostrar preocupación por su bienestar, olvidándose de que se es comunista y comportándose como un no comunista común y corriente. Este es un séptimo tipo.
Ver a alguien perjudicando los intereses de las masas y sin embargo no idignarse, ni disuadirle, ni detenerle, ni razonar con él, sino permitirle continuar. Este es un octavo tipo.
Trabajar a medio gas sin un plan o dirección definida; trabajar superficialmente y para salir del paso: "Mientras uno siga siendo monje, seguirá tocando la campana". Este es un noveno tipo.
Considerarse como si se hubiera prestado un gran servicio a la revolución, enorgullecerse de ser un veterano, desdeñar tareas menores siendo completamente incapaz de tareas importantes, ser descuidado en el trabajo y negligente en el estudio. Este es un décimo tipo.
Ser consciente de los propios errores y, sin embargo, no intentar corregirlos, adoptando una actitud liberal hacia uno mismo. Este es un undécimo tipo.
Vale, la caracterización de estos 11 puntos como tipos de liberalismo es discutible. Pero a las organizaciones les y nos iría mejor si siempre tuviéramos estos consejos del gran timonel a mano.
That happens to me often when I open the google app...
