It doesn't even work with the Mastodon WWW user interface, ironically.

The glyphs aren't in the Roboto WWW font requested by #Mastodon so WWW browsers fall back to whatever font is set locally.

Not only does that in itself make posts look like bad movie ransom notes, but it gets worse: because some fonts intentionally try to make the mathematical symbols distinct from truly boldfaced/italic Latin-1 alphabetic characters.

Hey all I'm leading a session GAAD at AccessU. The session is free and open to the public and streamed on YouTube. I'm looking for questions about the shifting landscape of digital access and accessibility. This wide open and can be interpreted in many ways, but the hope is to get some questions that cover multiple perspectives.

This has saved me a bunch of times, so might be useful to other people. When I change firewall rules on a remote machine, I always run the following command:
# service pf restart && sleep 30 && service pf stop<br>

And then I hit control-C after a few seconds. If my ssh session is still working, this cancels the service pf stop command. If I've managed to break my ssh connection with the rule change, the firewall is disabled after 30 seconds and I can revert the changes and reenable it.

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

To all #OpenSource and #Linux warriors, to all saying "Ditch windows, install Linux", to everyone and every single person: please, spend several minutes and read this. I want you all to read this so you really understand the problem (if you want to understand, of course). And a huge, huge thanks to Aaron @fireborn for starting this post series. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-w… #Accessibility

Re: my last boost of @fireborn's post on Linux accessibility (fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-w…), I propose that fixing audio on Linux would be a good place to start. "Linux audio doesn't work" is a meme even among sighted people. I know that reducing it down to that is perhaps unfair to all of the people who work on the audio stack, but there seems to be some truth to it. Any ideas on what can be done to finally make audio output as reliable as the graphics stack? I'll put money where my mouth is.

TTYs are very weird environments that exist outside of any kind of session, at least until you log in. They might as well not exist as far as most services can tell. This is just a legacy of how they work

The good news is that this all will be fixed sooner rather than later, because the TTY is going away. Instead it'll be replaced with a graphical terminal, which should give you access to a screen reader

Can't say much about the other issues. I've never run into them

in reply to Adrian Vovk

Some of your Pipewire issues might actually be Wireplumber issues. Pipewire is just dumb media routing. The smarts, like card and output selection, belong to Wireplumber. Are you using Wireplumber?

Are the bugs you've run into known issues, or have you filed bug reports? Realistically it's possible that you're triggering bugs that others haven't encountered and so they will never be fixed because nobody knows about them

The #Linux #kernel's #PGP Web of Trust

blog.kleine-koenig.org/ukl/the… (by @ukleinek )

"[…] However there is a problem on the horizon: GnuPG 2.4.x started to reject third-party key signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm. […] This doesn't directly affect the kernel-pgpkeys repo, […] When Konstantin imported the updated certificate GnuPG's "cleaning" was applied which dropped all SHA-1 signatures. So Theodore Ts'o's key lost 168 signatures, among them one by Linus Torvalds on his primary UID. […] That made me wonder what would be the effect on the web of trust if all SHA-1 signatures were dropped. Here are the facts: […]"

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry.

Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka #Plushtodon) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website.

Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon happen.
