Elon #Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms - wired.com/story/elon-musk-citi… probably another reason he is desperate for #trump to win - to pardon him....


If you pay close attention, there are some fun additions to the @thunderbird website (thunderbird.net/) to welcome their new mobile app. This is one of our favorites gems (made possible because @Blender is awesome and #OpenSource)


Ever find it hard to keep track of links, buttons, and form fields on a cluttered webpage? NVDA’s Screen Layout feature helps! When enabled, items like links and buttons stay in their visual flow, appearing on the same line. When disabled, NVDA separates each link and control onto its own line, making navigation smoother for some users. Toggle Screen Layout on and off with NVDA+V to customize your browsing experience! #NVDA #Accessibility #ScreenReader #TechTips


Code Factory und Acapela, alternative Sprachausgaben für NVDA
Wer sich den kostenlosen Screenreader NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) installiert, wird mit der freien Sprachausgabe eSpeak oder den Windows-stimmen leben müssen. Diese sind brauchbar, für längeres Arbeiten allerdings eher weniger geeignet. Sie sind zwar tief in Windows integriert...

Sehr informativ! Wir haben hier auch eine Seite mit zusätzlichen Stimmen: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/…

Beachten Sie, dass die Seite auf Englisch ist, aber hier ist eine Übersetzung ins Deutsche mit dem Übersetzungsdienst von Google: github-com.translate.goog/nvac…

in reply to NV Access

Das stimmt, aber die Seite ist für deutsche Nutzer völlig uninteressant, weil es nicht viel mehr Auswahl gibt. Zudem sind einfache Anwender zumeist mitGithub meist total überfordert, weshalb ich diese Seite nicht verlinkt habe.

'Lot of demoralized people': Ghost jobs wreaking havoc on tech workers sfgate.com/tech/article/ghost-…


During Canadian Federal Elections, poll workers have been known to direct husbands and wives to booths at opposing ends of the room, so as ensure spouses are not ‘monitored’ by each other. I have worked one once and was told by the husband “I just want to make sure she doesn’t make a mistake.” I told him that she was probably old enough to manage in her own to make an ‘X.’ She looked down as she smiled. He wandered off grumbling. I didn’t care how he reacted.

Happy #Halloween everyone!

The scary punchline is that this isn't a compelling horror story - it's real life, yet it's not cinematic/film-able.

Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.

As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

I've been sick, and thus unable to work on commissions, or general art, or promote myself as much as usual, and weekly bills are now due :(

I had to duck out of an exhibition this week too because of MH (and then getting sick so I'm glad I didn't go).

I had a lot of little prints made for it, so how's this - if you spend £10+ in my Ko-Fi shop on physical items with postage, I'll send you a random small (4x4 or 6x4) print for free. ❤

I can’t back this up with data *directly* but I have a firm conviction that there are at least 10x as many people like this as there are useful idiots who will vote for Jill Stein or leave the top of the ticket blank because of some esoteric backwards interpretation of Kropotkin. If you want to help in the home stretch then GOTV will be categorically more consequential than yelling at a guy you made up to get mad at (and you probably already know that) historians.social/@philip_card…
in reply to Glyph

You're probably right. But now I can't help but wonder what Kropotkin said that people are misinterpreting.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt If you have actually read Kropotkin and you're trying to reverse engineer what an actual person might think, you're overthinking it :)

There *is* an actual kind of stupid person who watches streamers react to video essays where the essayist might cite Kropotkin; this sort of person is likely to be far left, and to care a lot about e.g. Gaza, and maybe even say stuff about how electoralism is bad and " we need revolution". But that's not who I'm talking about…



I had to use Quicktime and screen-record this, because #SeeingAI doesn't allow you to save videos, or not that I could work out at least. Anyway, here's a test with a video Kirsten sent me this morning, in which Alice is driving a car around a track in Disneyland.
in reply to Andre Louis

Wow! That’s so cool. I wonder how it’s doing all of this? with updates it will get even better.

My matrix dart sdk talk from #matrixconf 2024. All things considered I am pretty satisfied with it, especially considering it's my first completely solo talk.



Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.

Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.

in reply to Nolan Darilek

Does that stack have any kind of support for real-time updates with WebSockets? That's one thing I still like about Phoenix.
in reply to Matt Campbell

If you specifically mean WebSockets, no, it uses SSE. So polling instead, but it does batch everything over one connection at least. pocketbase.io/docs/api-realtim…

#LibreOffice 24.2.7 is now available – the final planned update to the 24.2 branch, which reaches end-of-life in November. After that, all users are recommended to upgrade to the new stable branch, LibreOffice 24.8: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware

LibreOffice reshared this.

in reply to LibreOffice

Version 24.2.7.2 is a little bit better - only 1GB of RAM, even with ods file. It is really sad that in comparision to Excel, overall responsivnes is unacceptable in real business environment ☹️


🎶 **Excited to Share My New Arrangement of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson!** 🎶

I had so much fun making this track come to life in my own style and couldn’t have done it without the amazing gear and incredible people who helped along the way!
