New post: “Which VoiceOver?”

Just because something behaves a certain way in VoiceOver doesn’t mean it behaves that way in VoiceOver.

„Die Polizisten gingen nah an mich ran, die Hunde sprangen mich an und bissen mich in den Oberarm“, schildert Krug die Situation. Sie sei geschockt gewesen und zurückgewichen. Wenige Sekunden später habe ein anderer Polizist seinen Hund gegen sie gehetzt – das ist die Szene, die man auf dem Video sieht.
Hundetrainer Martin Rütter nannte den Umgang des Polizisten mit dem Polizeihund „kompletten Wahnsinn“. taz.de/!6063531/

‘Down there,’ he said, ‘are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any iniquity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathesomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don’t say no.’

Fun fact: Did you know you can open the quick settings from within Windows setup OOBE screen using Windows +A and disable Wi-fi from there?
That's right. No need for messy commands. Just, go in there before it asks you to connect to a network, and toggle Wi-fi off. Can't believe they don't block the quick settings pannel.

Even creators are treated like a SKU. And the whole lack of explanation is telling.

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions.

"About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors."

Er, wait... that $100M contract with Elon Musk's Starlink that Doug Ford "ripped up"? Doug Ford signed that deal himself when Trudeau wouldn't make a deal with Musk, conning Ontario taxpayers out of $100M for a service worth less than $14M.

Now he's calling a snap election while taking credit for undoing his own crooked deal (with added penalty costs to Ontario taxpayers). The news is only covering his ripping up of the contract, not the origins of the contract to begin with.

You can customise what appears on your timeline using Mastodon's Filters feature. It lets you automatically hide posts containing certain words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji. This guide explains how to use Mastodon filters and answers lots of common questions:

Filtered posts can be either hidden completely, or hidden behind a warning that can be clicked open.

Filters give you the ability to hide whatever you don't want to see, from NSFW to Wordle.

The ecosystem is moving ... away from corporate centralization and mindsets.
Billionaires are out, federated and multi-player systems are in, if we gather the many chats, gossips and happenings around #fosdem correctly. Dispersing ourselves around Bruxelles the last couple of days was very enjoyable (thanks Sun!) and helpful to orient in convivial directions in this otherwise extraordinarily stupid 2025 timeline ... thanks to the many people we enjoyed conversations and hang outs with! ❤️
