One of the many things consumer messaging apps lack is enterprise-grade identity and access management.

Without that it’s super easy to accidentally invite the wrong people...

New JWST image just dropped.

This object is called Herbig-Haro 49/50. It's the outflow of a still-forming star hidden from view to the lower right of the orangish cone of material oriented diagonally in this image.

As stars form they eject excess matter in the direction of their poles of rotation. That material encounters the interstellar medium in the vicinity and lights up in response. "Like the wake of a speeding boat, the bow shocks in this image have an arc-like appearance as the fast-moving jet from the young star slams into the surrounding dust and gas."

Purely by coincidence, the outflow lines up with a distant background galaxy, which is the circular pinkish/blue object at upper left.

Well. This is a ride.

I feel very safe with these security geniuses running our country and waging war.

This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany

Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS).

It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.

The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.

Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.

You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:

I cannot stress this enough - so many of the people in the Trump WH, including Trump himself would NEVER pass even the most rudimentary background checks. They have access to intel only because the Senate Republicans confirmed their incompetencies. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

We have only one day to get the rest of this money together. The clinic is ~$200 and meds are ~100.

Please help.

“Here is a list of WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria that I think cannot be completely tested with automated tools. These criteria require manual testing because they involve meaning, usability, intent, or user experience that automated tools cannot fully evaluate.”

MY LATEST: I sat down with Microsoft's Jessica Rafuse, who leads accessibility partnerships and policy at the company, to talk about this year's just-completed Ability Summit and much more in a new interview.

Please read and share!

If you need to convert a file to another format, watch out for potential malware. The FBI is warning that hackers are circulating malicious file-converter tools online. pcmag.com/news/psa-be-careful-…

Our library has access to a book published by Springer, _Advanced Nanovaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy: Harnessing Nanotechnology for Anti-Cancer Immunity_. Credited to Nanasaheb Thorat, it sells for $160 in hardcover: link.springer.com/book/10.1007…

From page 25: "It is important to note that as an AI language model, I can provide a general perspective, but you should consult with medical professionals for personalized advice..."

None of this book can be considered trustworthy.

I'm ... I mean ... No, really. Uhm.

US officials up to the Vice President discuss the planning and execution of the attacks in Yemen on a Signal group and added a journalist to that group.

#oopsie doesn't even come close to.expressing what I think right now.

So. Uhm. Well. I think if Signal is safe enough for that, you can use it too :)

“Can generative AI write contextual text descriptions?”
tetralogical.com/blog/2025/03/…

Huge improvements from a few years ago, but even with context these need help. A good example of genAI only as a tool, not as a solution.

#a11y #accessibility

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is quite long, and, honestly, hard to digest.
@tink it down and explains in clear terms which digital products and services must meet accessibility requirements and exactly what businesses need to do to comply. Please, if you design, develop, or sell digital products or services in the EU, read this article, it’s still shorter than the actual act, and very well explained!

@helpers Hello, I'm new to fediverse hosting. Recently started a small Friendica instance for me and my friends.
System: YunoHost 12.0.12 on VPS bought online
App: Friendica 2024.12-1~ynh1
URL: kedralife.cz

I have huge problems with the worker queue, it periodically gets stuck for a very long time, processing nothing for hours or (more often) days (so far the maximum was 11 days) when it just grows a processes nothing. This means that my friends can't send each other private messages, public posts don't federate and any sort of permission-restricted posts get stuck on "pending" for days.

I tried running the worker.php with crontab very 5 minutes in addition to the friendica deamon, but it does not seem to help.
