@troed There are around 1000 atproto PDSes, and anyone can run a relay (with sufficient resources): whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7…. Meanwhile indie relay impls like git.lavender.software/cerulea/… are popping up. Even if there's currently one big instance, the proto is still decentralised.

#Canada passes new #righttorepair rules with same old problem
Canada's #CopyrightAct allows circumvention of technological protection measures if done for purposes of "maintaining or repairing a product, including any related diagnosing," and "to make the program or a device in which it is embedded interoperable with any other computer program, device or component." As iFixit points out, neither amendment do anything to expand access to tools needed to circumvent TPMs.

Almost all ticket vending machines of the municipal transport company in Amsterdam will stop working on 1 January 2025 and will be removed later.
The reason is quite interesting: end of software support for the card payment terminals. 🙄

Sure you can now check in and out with your bank card directly, but if you want a day ticket, or discounted ticket, all you're left with is the mobile app.

OK... Either I am just super late to the party, or this just isn't very widely known / discussed in the macOS #VoiceOver community.
As of macOS Sonoma, remotely controlling a Mac using Screen Sharing is actually very much accessible using the High Performance Mode connection option. VO needs to be enabled on the Mac being controlled, which will result in VO, as well as any other audio being routed over the network to the controlling Mac. @AppleVis

Listening to the @LWorksGames audio game streaming marathon (lerven.me/marathon2024/), and because I'm a total nerd, I'm curious about the programming language and game engine (if applicable) used by each game. The first game, Ball Bouncer, is apparently using .NET in ahead-of-time compiled mode. I wonder if there's a .NET audio game engine analogous to BGT or NVGT, or if they rolled their own, including self-voicing UI.

For those who build and experiment with large language models like GPT: after a year of on-and-off development, I've recently released version 2.0.0 of Gptcmd, a command-line large language model conversation and prototyping environment. Gptcmd lets you do things like create branching conversation "threads", edit the context arbitrarily, and save/load your conversations to disk (JSON files). See the readme for an overview of all it can do! github.com/codeofdusk/gptcmd/r…

The UK has an opportunity to do something popular in loads of countries, whilst learning from the mistakes many of those places have made. I can't agree with the whole slippery slope argument here, not when so many people are literally crying out for this. There are safeguards needed, people in abusive relationships and without mental capacity need to be protected. But so to does the dignity of those who have reached the point when it is their choice and their want to go on thir terms.

The assisted dying bill debate is just beginning, with Kim Leadbeater kicking it off.

For anyone unfamiliar with Parliamentary debates, free votes on moral issues typically introduced as a Private Member's Bill like this usually lead to very good debates demonstrating Parliament at its best.

It's likely to be a good one to watch: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/…

In 2015 I spent a couple of weeks in Singapore and I still remember sitting at a café and implementing the feature that merges multiple messages into the same bubble.

Today this feature has been removed from #Conversations_im in favor of moving the bubbles closer together. This gives better control over per messages actions such as sharing, quoting or adding a reaction.

I want to write my own cross-platform and accessible for blind users #Mastodon client.
There are no #a11y friendly clients for Linux (only some TUI software) and there are only one buggy and unstable proprietary client for Windows called #tweesecake.
I already know the stack I'll use but I have one problem.
I don't know Mastodon well enough to be sure that I implement every feature which is supported there.
For sure I can read the whole API reference but maybe there are easier ways, maybe some list of features, maybe some feature guide for developers, etc.

As a blind user I can't just install any popular and cool client and take all features from it... That's the problem: they are not accessible at all or not accessible enough for every day use.

So, maybe someone helps me with some sort of docs or I don't know :D

Les « insoumis », qui avaient décidé de consacrer leur journée d’initiative parlementaire, jeudi, à la réforme adoptée en 2023, ont échoué en séance face à l’obstruction des groupes de la coalition présidentielle et de la droite.
