Some of y'all here would see a story about someone's experience with genocide written on Google docs or discussed on Zoom & attack those bringing this story to the fore for using the wrong platform.

Makes you look so incredibly privileged & out of touch.

The priority can be to reach as many people as possible using platforms that are easy for them to use, rather than proving that one is against Big Tech.

Same attitude that makes some of the most vulnerable people not want to use Mastodon.



Excited to share our latest blog post on memory safety! We’re tackling spatial safety in our massive C++ codebase by hardening libc++ by default. It adds bounds checks to things like std::vector, preventing a fair bit of out-of-bounds vulnerabilities: security.googleblog.com/2024/1… 🧵

Intéressant, dans #Windows11 24H2 ils ont ajouté une nouvelle disposition de clavier française. Maintenant on a plein de choses avec AltGr, même le fameux œ. Par contre, il est maintenant très difficile d'ajouter des raccourcis clavier avec Ctrl+Alt parce que dans ces cas-ci AltGr ouvre des applis au lieu de produire des lettres…

Практически ничё не понял, но я так понимаю, что-то читается не так как хотелось бы, а там уж фиг знает))
Вообще надеюсь когда-нибудь найти время на французский, хотя бы на базовом уровне, чтобы понять например, смогу ли разобраться с этими загадочными правилами чтения. Помню ты говорил что там всё не так сложно, но блин, когда увидел что фамилия Жиру, может быть написана как Girous и Giroud, подумал что понимание всей логики оно для избранных.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Там фигня читать, но сложно писать. То есть, грубо говоря, читать ты можешь научиться ну за полчаса-час, но это не гарантирует, что ты сможешь правильно написать каждое слово, это всё же не испанский и даже не итальянский. А я написал, что в новой Винде, которая 24Х2, добавили вообще новую французскую раскладку, где занята почти вся клавиатура с правым Альтом. А правый Альт, как известно, действует ещё и как Альт-Контрол, поэтому становится неудобненько назначать ярлыки на горячие клавиши.
in reply to André Polykanine

А, теперь понял что это было. Мда уж, странное решение с новой клавиатурой.
Кстати не помню где читал или от кого слышал, что французы часто пишут с какими-то знатными ошибками, условно в комментах к какому-нибудь посту. Видимо и для них написание это квест.
in reply to André Polykanine

Если оно так, то могу понять почему. Вроде есть такое слово lourd "тяжёлый" кажется. Поставил себя на их место, ага, знаю как оно звучит и чё означает, а вот как пишется, да хрен его знает, может быть lourd или lourp.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Да, это проблема, особенно среди, как бы это сказать… выходцев из арабских стран, у которых по сути дома арабский, а французский только в школе, и то если школа нормальная. А сам понимаешь, где арабский, а где французский, даже без всякой политоты.
in reply to André Polykanine

Вот да, хорошо ещё если школа вообще есть, а то бывает по-всякому.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Сам видел вот такое, своими слепыми глазами. Сравни, как говорится, результат. Перевод: «Я не знаю, о чём она говорит». Правильно: «Je ne sais pas de quoi elle parle». что увидел я и запомнил до сих пор: «Je ne sé pa de koi el parl».
in reply to André Polykanine

Мда уж, похоже кто-то пытался написать с того как слышит и не знает как должно быть.

Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.


The National Federation of the Blind is continuing constructive discussions with Meta about Facebook #accessibility regressions.
We’d like to hear if those using the current Facebook for iOS build are still experiencing the bug where it is not possible to review content you write when composing a Facebook post.


Just to give everyone an update. They looked at the X-rays done on me this afternoon right away, and they saw the exact kidney stone that was giving me trouble. It was right where I said it was. Holy cuckoo clocks these things cause pain. But I think it's finally coming out. Kidney stones. I feel like some eged person discussing health issues.
in reply to Bruce Toews

Good one. No, honestly, it was not meant as a pun. I wouldn't joke about someone else's suffering; if the one doing the suffering wants to do so that's fine but it's not something I would ever intentionally do.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield I didn't think so. But I had to be sure. And it is passing, so we won't call it suffering so much as infinitely painful inconvenience.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

In 2022, the CAQ was re-elected on the promise of providing a family doctor to every Quebecer...

It's 2024, and 1 in 4 Quebecers, or around 2.1M do NOT have a family doctor.

This F*CKING FAUX LAÏCITÉ BS needs to stop and the CAQ need to get each and every one of us a family doctor... or GTFO.

I've said this before, but I think Bluesky's growth spike should motivate folks who believe in the fediverse to build the sturdiest and most intuitive and safest fedi platforms they can in the next year or two, because if Bluesky does go the way you think it will, all those people heading there now will all need good homes.

(Full disclosure, I am going to mute this thread, as my kid says, immediently.)

"How he’s developed and wielded this influence over two decades is one of the more consequential and underappreciated shapers of the failed global response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Entering year two, this response has been defined by a zero-sum vaccination battle that has left much of the world on the losing side."

Request Tracker, an open-source issue tracker we use at work, has had almost completely inaccessible dropdowns ever since 5.0. In the last couple days, I've been poking around, trying to work out why. They use Bootstrap 4.6, which is way behind, and even Bootstrap 5.x seems to have accessibility problems. They take an unordered list, a text input, and a hidden input, and try to simulate a select element. You know what's fully accessible? A SELECT ELEMENT! Just use what's already there, people!
in reply to Alex Hall

we had an issue today where they wanted ticked checkboxes that didn't do anything when clicked. Disabling them wasn't on the table. Crazy.

The people who told you that "suppressing" the Hunter Biden laptop story was a national scandal are the same people who want to bury the House Ethics Committee's report about Matt Gaetz's raping and sex trafficking.


🫠 Há 10 anos, #NaData de hoje mas em 2014, o Groupon desistiu de registrar a marca Gnome para uso em um futuro sistema de terminais de ponto de venda.

Após ser contatada pelo projeto GNOME (do ambiente desktop open source) sobre a duplicidade, a empresa continuou tentando o registro, mas desistiu após o fato ser noticiado.
