This release features significantly faster autofill solver. That's been a challenge for a couple years now, and a new contributor showed up with a better algorithm for filling grids. There's still more room for optimization, but it already is a dramatic increase in the utility of the editor.

TalkBack 15 on Galaxy S25 phones is compatible with Braille displays that use HID, thus saving users from additional set-up steps. TalkBack on the new devices will also use Gemini models for more detailed image descriptions. Not sure when these features will extend to older Samsung devices - hopefully soon: androidfaithful.com/android-ac…

In light of US tech oligarchy setting its sights on Wikimedia Foundation, a historical detail I did not know before: #Wikipedia became the non-profit it is today partly as the result of a labour strike of Spanish Wikipedia editors who disagreed with the proposed inclusion of advertisements. Initially, it was not clear what revenue model Wikipedia would get, and Wales moved towards a for-profit model already a year after launch. However, rather than working for free, so Jimmy Wales could profit from their labour via advertising, Spanish contributors forked Spanish Wikipedia as the Encyclopedia Libre Universal. Under the threat of losing the editorial community of such a large language, Wales conceded and set up the non-profit.

That is to say, however imperfect they are, all the digital commons we have are the result of ongoing struggle and hard work to keep them as commons.

1. Open a Linux terminal.

2. Type the following command:
watch -d -n 1 sensors

3. This command displays CPU, GPU, Wi-Fi, NVMe SSD, and HDD temperature data in real time. The -d option highlights the differences between updates, and the -n 1 option sets the interval to 1 second, running the sensors command every second. See cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-… for more info.

@sesivany Já a mluvit před kamerou pro lidi? :-) Hele uvidíme. Minimálně lokálně s tím zatím dost bojuju. Nevím jestli to je HW nebo tou implementací speech-to-text, ale poslechne mě to tak jednou za 10 pokusů.

Co musím vyzdvihnout je instalace. Stačí k tomu standardní HA appka, přes bluetooth si to řekne o přístup k WiFi a HA už si to pak najde. Běží v tom standardní ESPHome a dá se nad tím převzít i kontrola a programovat si to sám.

With the January #BTSpeak update, when you enter the file browser by typing O-chord followed by F, you will now be pointing to the title of the currently open file. This will make it
easier and much faster if you want to perform a task with the open file, such as protecting, renaming or deleting it. Instead of having to navigate through
the file list to find the file’s title, in most cases you’ll be pointing to it as soon as you open the file browser.

@maco it's the infamous rant he posted on Google Plus (back when it existed) and was meant to be shared within Google, but the UX for limiting the audience was still such a mess that he ended up making it public. Somebody saved it for posterity, especially after G+ died: gist.github.com/chitchcock/128…

There is something strange about accessibility. Those of us who work with it every day think it’s obvious, something everyone should focus on in all communication.

I like this #FunkaFoundation post. Imagine how much less clear our writing would be without spell & grammar checking tools. The same goes for publishing to the web, but with accessibility. These tools exist, and they just need to be enabled by default.

stiftelsenfunka.org/about-us/c…

The simplest way for government & similar organizations to do this is to just enable Accessibility Insights by default on every browser.

accessibilityinsights.io/

Then authors can see & report problems that they see.

I submitted an idea for Thunderbird: suppressing the notification about remote content on emails, keeping it all blocked: connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/s…

Suppress remote content warning on email

There's a setting to accept all remote content, which suppresses the warning; but no setting to deny all remote content. I never want to get remote content on my email, and the constant notification is annoying.

@hub My thought exactly.

This is *the 5th time* Google Maps has been extremely inaccurate for me in the past week alone.

I've already been using Organic Maps quite a bit, but am depending on it more and more. Once in a while, the OSM map info is out of date, but so is Google. But OSM is never blatantly wrong like Google is lately.

I'm meeting a colleague (elsewhere) who sent me a Google Maps link right after this and that's wrong too. (6th time this week!)
