"Subject: ISSUES USING CISCO ANYCONNECT SECURE MOBILITY CLIENT VPN"

my #inbox and Cisco Anyconnect has a special relationship. Obviously.

in reply to manchicken

@manchicken they might, but I suspect that if they are Bluetooth-only they probably are not.


I started this mastodon account yesterday as a fresh start and a blank slate. I do not have an interest in seeing politics, hateful posts, or anything negative and impure. I am here for love, compassion, and mindfulness. If you have any interest in #Shinto #Buddhism #JapaneseBuddhism #Mindfulness #Meditation #Betterment #MentalHealth #MensMentalHealth #Sobriety or any similar concepts, please give this post a favorite, or me a follow so I can follow back.

I want to cultivate a timeline full of respect, unity, love, and compassion.

PoloΕΎme si zΓ‘sadnΓ­ otΓ‘zku.

Co Mastodon, potaΕΎmo jeho komunita udΔ›lala za poslednΓ­ dva roky od poslednΓ­ho exodu z Twitteru/X pro to, aby byla schΕ―dnΔ›jΕ‘Γ­ pro koncovΓ©ho uΕΎivatele?

Po tom, co si odpovΓ­te na tuhle otΓ‘zku, si uvΔ›domte, jak funguje Bluesky i kdyΕΎ nenΓ­ decentralizovanΓ½. OdpadΓ‘ tam babylon vΕ‘ech moΕΎnΓ½ch i nemoΕΎnΓ½ch instancΓ­, dΓ‘ se tam vyhledΓ‘vat napříč pΕ™Γ­spΔ›vky a netechnickΓ©mu uΕΎivateli nepraskΓ‘ hlava, kdyΕΎ se ho snaΕΎΓ­ pochopit. ProstΔ› funguje, dokonce out of box.

Ono se to zdΓ‘ jako prkotina, ale polovina bΔ›ΕΎnejch Ε‘moulΕ―, kteΕ™Γ­ si sice umΓ­ nainstalovat Threads, protoΕΎe jim to Ε™ekne Instagram, nedokΓ‘ΕΎe pochopit, jak s nΓ­ poΕ™Γ‘dnΔ› naklΓ‘dat.

Tohle není hate, jenom jeden z pohledů, proč to dopadlo tak, jak to dopadlo.

Čím dΕ™Γ­v si určitΓ­ lidΓ© uvΔ›domΓ­, ΕΎe to nenΓ­ masovka, ale vlastnΔ› docela underground, bude se jim najednou lΓ­p dejchat. NΔ›kterΓ½ bitvy prostΔ› vyhrΓ‘t nejdou.

A ono je to dost moΕΎnΓ‘ ve vΓ½sledku určitΔ› dobΕ™e.

To any #Voiceover users who are considering trying BlueSky, a word of warning.
It’s technicaly accessible, but presents a few problems. focus is never on a post, but on an element within a post. So you may find the Like button rather than the post itself, and you need to swipe through every element of each post. That’s a real pain. Also, some buttons either don’t work at all or do something unexpected.
I found navigation very difficult and was never quite sure where I was.
I haven’t found any images with Alt Text either.
The layout isn’t great.
All in all, it’s a bit of a trial to use. It’s almost as if they haven’t really bothered with #Accessibility. Fancy that!
Perhaps I should persevere with it, but, quite frankly, life’s too short, so I won’t be using it.

@jscholes Thanks James, do you know about their API's possibilities? I.e., Is it possible to develop a fully-fledged app?
in reply to AndrΓ© Polykanine

It seems to be, yes. There are already alternative native apps in the iOS App Store, and they list clients as an expected use case in their API documentation. They also claim that their own mobile app uses exactly the same API they make available to developers, although I'm not sure how true that is.

If you find yourself following fedi conflicts and getting exhausted yet unable to look away, step back. Follow CA/B and certificate authority root program conflicts instead for a palette cleanser.

They’re the opposite of what goes on here. The issue at hand generally seems rather dry, and the parties in the wrong are generally obvious. But the fallout is fascinatingly measured, clear-cut, and diplomatic while the parties obviously in the wrong struggle to mitigate their errors as their entire business’ reputation is on the line. So there are enough stakes for it to matter, but for once you feel you have enough context and it doesn’t feel personal.


Finished @viscousplatypus’s β€œThe Accessibility Operations Guidebook” this morning. Probably a good idea to read if you do digital accessibility and want to scale up your impact. I recommend.

This quote from a former independent consultant who has become an employee really lands.

WeasyPrint because holy shit they wrote a browser in Python! It beats major browsers at CSS fragmentation and paged media. And with much better (far from perfect) PDF accessibility.

The browsers I use 99% of the time are not my favorites.

A hidden catch of the new fancy EuroCity direct service between Brussels and Amsterdam: Since the train does not stop in Breda anymore, subscription holders with 100% discount on Dutch railways still have to pay for the journey from Rotterdam to the border.
Therefore the basic ticket price for such subscription holders went up almost twofold - from € 10,50 to € 20.

And of course, due to limitations of the NS international journey planner, you cannot force it to use the slower EuroCity service.

@freedomscientific In JAWS 2025, whenever I navigate in and out of lists in Microsoft Word or on a Web page, JAWS speaks the messages "entering list" and "exit list." I can find no way of disabling these announcements in the insert+V Speech Options dialog or in Settings Center; I've looked under Configure Speech Verbosity as well as the Speech and Sounds Manager. Is this found anywhere in the UI? If not, could this be added in Settings Center so that we can disable these announcements?

@brian_hartgen Thanks for confirming. I'm going to suggest to them that this should be a verbosity option.

@brian_hartgen Since going to Windows 11, I hear this all the time at work. Opening app.. Working on retrieving.... Not really necessary, this should be something that can be turned off or, as David suggested, set in verbocity settings

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.

The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

I think best ActivityPub : BlueSky analogy is X11 : SurfaceFlinger. The latter two have in common:

* Funded, capable product and engineering effort
* Open source bug no RMS vibes
* Many more users

The former two have:

* Some users who choose it on principle
* Fragmentation in the layers above
* Whining from the hangers-on

But fundamentally they solve overlapping but not identical problems. That's a fine thing.

Enjoy writing those modelines!

in reply to Raph Levien

Ouch. The fact that you compared ActivityPub to X11 and not Wayland implies that you think ActivityPub is already obsolete.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt That might not have been *entirely* fair, but it is what came to mind. I was thinking more about the intractability of solving problems like "high dpi" on the X11 side and "how to move instances seamlessly" on the ActivityPub side.


The UI for the cURL GUI tool is slick.

I'd like to see less criticism of how Bluesky isn't really decentralized, why it sucks that the Bluesky app uses React (I regret that I briefly piled onto that one), etc., and more discussion of why we're losing people to Bluesky and what we're going to do about it. For my part, I'm trying not to be a toxic reply guy.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@spaduf

I just wish bridging via Fedibridge was standard. Then I wouldn’t have to still open multiple apps.

in reply to Matt Campbell

The commentary I've seen about Bsky not being decentralized has been pretty β€œgood faith” imo. It often comes with technical discussion around what they have now and what the tech allows for. The problem is though people aren't going there because of the promise of decentralization. It's all the other features.

To your second point. What can we "do about it". Support fediverse builders ($$), stay non-toxic, continue to live and promote Fedi as a home for whoever needs to come here next.

I want to spin up a website, but I'm not sure if I want to use Vue, React, or something else πŸ€”
in reply to Thib

@thibaultamartin somewhat, yeah. I've got some experience with both, but I'm wondering if there's anything cooler.

One thing I'm looking for is something easily styleable, and a decent ecosystem of pre-built components. Also Typescript support is a must

@Thib
in reply to Chris 🌱

if you’re primarily hosting dynamic content, I would use a SSG.

- vanilla html/css if you don’t have many pages
- @astro if you want a really snappy website. It also has an interesting content layer to fetch content at build time. That’s what I use for ergaster.org
- zola if you’re looking for stability (you don’t need to update deps every other day). That’s what we use for matrix.org

Happy to expand if you want me to :)

in reply to Chris 🌱

I'd look into Preact with Preact Signals, small bundle size and a nice middleground between React & Vue imo.
