Picture 1: Trump launched a new Guitar line, and as any guitarist in the world could immediately see, this so-called “Trump guitar” was just a Gibson Les Paul guitar rebranded with Trump logos.

Picture 2: As expected, Gibson Guitars’ lawyers are now all over this.

That is right — a US President-Elect is trying to steal the intellectual property of one of the most famous US guitar brands.

Nuove fughe di notizie sulla tecnologia di sblocco dei telefoni della polizia


Secondo un report di 404 Media esamina le capacità di Graykey, uno strumento di hacking progettato per aiutare la polizia ad accedere ai dati sui dispositivi mobili. Documenti trapelati suggeriscono che Graykey può estrarre solo dati parziali da iPhone moderni e aggiornati (da iPhone 12 e successivi). I documenti non specificano cosa comporta l'estrazione "parziale", sebbene i report precedenti suggeriscano che ciò potrebbe includere metadati sui file, anziché il contenuto di tali file. I dispositivi più vecchi, come iPhone 11, sono apparentemente vulnerabili all'estrazione "completa".

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.3.1 has been released!

Here is a summary of the changes:
- feat: add profile recovery screen;
- fix: review inline content alternate text;
- fix: strip off HTML before editing posts;
- enhancement: improve timeline a11y;
- enhancement: add friendica.myportal.social to default instances;
- chore: add unit tests for content pagination and repositories;
- chore: dependency updates.

This is mostly a bugfix release dealing with the most annoying issues you reported (e.g. the lack of management for expired tokens, accessibility issues, post editing with markup). Plus, since I've been adding a lot of unit tests, some minor bugs (e.g. direct messages pagination) were resolved too.

I'll keep populating the backlog with what you report and I'll continue to add tests to increase coverage.

Remember to #livefasteattrash!

Remember that time an insane fascist was elected president and said he was going to put huge tariffs in Canada and then the Premiere of Quebec said he agreed with the insane fascist and bent over backwards to kneel down and kiss the ring?

In two years, a 90-acre plot in Scotland has gone from a count of 35 bumblebees to over 4,000. They've also doubled their species diversity.

Rewilding and habitat restoration can work, and can work fast, especially for quickly breeding species.

"There's nothing special about Musk, Altman, or Zuckerberg. Accepting that requires you to also accept that the world itself is not one that rewards the remarkable, or the brilliant, or the truly incredible, but those who are able to take advantage of opportunities, which in turn leads to the horrible truth that those who often have the most opportunities are some of the most boring and privileged people alive."

@pvagner Some time ago I tried to use it, but I had big problems. Now it worked. The problem I have at the moment is the lack of a good noise reduction. There is Speech Processor, but even with the reduction set to -1db it sounds bad. There is also a separate effect Noise Reduction, but instead of controls it only says "unavailable". Maybe it is not available on Arm?

thanks for all this information. I did linux heavily 30+ years ago and don't remember a lot from back then. Dabbled since losing my functional vision... 20 years ago... dabbling here and there every few years... Really just want a working easy linux distribution that I can run in vmware and pop in to play with it. Looking for smething that doesn't combust with updates or require a lot of maintenance.. The fact that the accessible coconut install worked great gave me hope until i went to do updates and barf....
in reply to Jeffrey D. Stark

don't use so called blindy distros. They only fragment the ecosystem, while reinforcing the myth that devs don't have to work on making the accessibility of their app better, because we'll make our own special distros which work in the same way gamers make slightly altered distros made for their kind of workload. Meanwhile, on this side of the pawnd, we have to use old, half accessible apps, not update whatsoever, and pretend it all works fine. All this tends to absolve people of responsibility, on both sides of the coin, living everyone kinda happy, but only on the surface, similar to AI companies and their relations to blind people, where even we hipe this kind of stuff because it does half of a good job badly, but good enough to give us some false confidence that we'll one day live equally in this ableist society, because of technology which shall make us whole again and stuff like that. The former is not quite as bad as the latter, but I hope you get the point either way. Any mainstream distro will certainly be better than anything built for us in this way, because we benefit from the work everyone else does in making this ecosystem awesome, while they benefit from us because we work together with them to make this place more inclusive and possibly even better than existing platforms. We can only do all of this imense work together, segregation is the problem, not the solution

On November 25, 2024, the FCC’s Media Bureau released a Public Notice seeking comment on a petition to amend section 79.2(b)(2)(ii) of the Commission’s rules, known as the “Audible Crawl” rule. The rule currently requires broadcasters to provide an aural representation of visual, non-textual emergency information, such as radar maps or other graphics, on a secondary audio stream. The petition, filed by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), would amend the rule to state that the requirement is met if a station provides aurally-accessible textual crawls that convey emergency information duplicative of or equivalent to the visual, non-textual information.

The FCC also seeks comment on the petition’s request for an 18-month extension to NAB’s existing waiver of the Audible Crawl rule, which is currently set to expire on November 26, 2024.

Public Notice:

Angaben zur #Rollstuhltauglichkeit eines Ortes sind zwar in der @openstreetmap@en.osm.town eingetragen, werden aber auf der #wheelmap nicht angezeigt?

Dann könnte es sein, dass die Beschreibung nicht dem Basis-Attribut wheelchair_description sondern dem mit der Erweiterung der Sprache zugeordnet wurde, z.B. wheelchair_description:de
Wie mir der Support mitteilte, arbeitet man aber daran, auch die Sprachdefiition zu berücksichtigen.
