So I have to give @atherjammoa a lot of credit for telling me about Eter. it is a radio app, but you can find it on the entire Apple ecosystem including Apple TV. they charge a one-time fee to unlock some features, but it was $8 so well spent. Apparently LWorks radio can be found in the search results. also the Voiceover support is awesome. Show them some love. You won't be disappointed. eter.apparentsoft.com/

Enjoy limitless radio entertainment on any device – download the app for your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, and even Apple TV

@vladimmi we had to wait until an issue with GTK's emoji/font rendering had been fixed, see github.com/msys2/MINGW-package…

Furthermore, there were issues with other libraries Gajim's Windows version depends on. All these issues are resolved now.

The next release will be available on Windows again 🎉

* 10 apps were removed as they haven't been updated long time, and their sources have since disappeared.
* for 6 more such apps we found the sources elsewhere, so we've kept them.
* for 2 apps the source repos re-surfaced, so we were able to restore them. One more will follow soon as we were able to reach the dev, who will restore the source repo.
* Nitterify was found on Codeberg, having also changed its packageName. An update is available, so please switch over.

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.

One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

Did you know #Microsoft is shutting down Chinese universities by blocking access to their services? When will this come to Europe and the rest of the world? How dependent on Microsoft or Google is the day to day work in your organization?

Here's an example, one of many: scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article…


Microsoft abruptly cuts services to Chinese university, genomics firm

Concerns about technological decoupling have risen after Microsoft ended commercial services for some clients in China.

We've had a few iOS updates in the last few Android Progress Reports, but with more substantial iOS news, it's time for a name change! So here's the shiny, new(ish) Mobile Progress Report! ✨

Last month, we published our initial iOS repository, made plans for Testflight and laid out our intended initial features. We also discuss initial release engineering and localization decisions. For the Android app, we made a LOT of fixes. 🔧

So I honestly think it could make a great light-us emachine. I have not tried JAWS on it, but NVDA runs pretty well. I can certainly tell it has a lower-end processor, but if you splurge, there's one with ahigher-end process for $400. I almost picked that one, but was a little hesitant to spend that much on a hobby. I will also say it doesn't seem to get very hot. It lives in my master closet so I don't interact with it much, but I have gone in to check it, and it isn't hot to the touch.

Hi all! Good news — Google has decided to restore the permissions to our #Android app so we can bring back the full file syncing functionality. Expect a test tonight and final later this or early next week. Thanks a lot for your support, it is what made all the difference!
