I made a similar tool for Mastodon (and a few other platforms), for those interested to give it a try!

Many projects are littered with files that just re-export other files. These so called "barrel files" are one of the key reasons why JavaScript tooling is slow in bigger projects.
I've started editing my way through a small collection of short stories formerly published in the New European Magazine between 1822 and 1823. Here's the first of eventually six stories: 'The Funeral' by Thomas Richards.
If you want to implement and test it you’re welcome to make a PR. The old excuses still work the best. 🙄 So tired of developers who release their products to everyone but only build for themselves and still expect headpats and attaboy’s. We see all of you.
@fireborn As much as I would personally enjoy this, I don’t think simple keyboard is popular enough to deserve a whole rant on just him. He isn’t really the problem IMO, it is the pervasive attitude and it affects way more than just accessibility.
@fireborn For sure. I am ride-or-die Android, in large part due to its freedom, but often we do not acknowledge how often this just means you are “free” to get it wrong. Like there are four different ways to label an input field, that is too many. Corporations are not “free” to ignore applicable laws which “free”/opensource developers flaunt all the time, gleefully in some cases. And it’s worth pointing out that this pressure often leads to a better outcome for disabled people than the opensource model of resolving everything through the free market of pull requests. It’s a huge topic.
@fireborn i think that at least in part this is also due to the still heavily push position that blind people should use iOS and are wrong for not doing so, I have gotten this from individuals, blind services, and organizations like the NFB, even being outright told that I was essentially being blind wrong for asking about android in NFB meetings/groups.
For a very brief time in late 2024, I resurrected Zello purely because my Unihertz phone had a push-to-talk button. I then lost that phone and mostly forgot about the channel. However, I do have other phones from Unihertz and I'm now running Zello on one of them. I wonder if Android phones will ever be cheap enough for me to just buy a whole pack of them and hand them out at a convention the way I handed out walkie-talkies at the last few NFB nationals. Anyway, if you're bored, here's the channel: zello.me/k/iMdPr
@fireborn I have the Tank Mini and the Jelly Max. I also have a Jelly 2E I got from a Canadian for very cheap, but haven't set it up beyond determining that it works and isn't totally unusable with Talkback. Looks like a slightly thinner Jelly Star. Zello is running on the Jelly Max but TBH, I have no idea what to use it for now that I have a OnePlus. The Tank Mini has replaced my Star as the media device since it has a massive battery, 32-bit app support, and a headphone jack.
@fireborn I have a pair of pants with zipper pockets. One of them casually unzipped itself and the Star fell out. I never found it. For whatever reason even though I noticed it was gone almost right away, I wasn't able to ping it. It was last seen at my apartment, which suggests it wasn't getting a data connection. I've concluded it's gone forever. No one at my building, the taxi company, or the ferry has reportedly seen it, and those are the only places I went.

A few months ago, I posted about the closure of thisisarecording.com, a massive telephone intercept archive going far back. I am happy to report that it is back online, thanks to the fine folks who run telephoneworld.org! Visiting the site will take you to something that's more than just a blank screen now :)
@DavidGoldfield Reminds me of the book that came out maybe 15 or so years ago, Exploding The Phone. I had friends who were phone freaks back in the day. I’m now feeling quite nostalgic.
Microsoft Build 2025 brought bold updates in AI agents, secure development, and developer tooling across Windows, Azure, and GitHub.

At a time when national interests often take precedence over common solutions and dialog is replaced by power games, many of us feel a strong need: ➡️ For stability. ➡️ For reliability. ➡️ For responsibility - also regionally.

zbus recently passed 20 million unique downloads on crates.io. 🎉 With downloads peaking consistently on weekdays (reaching to 70K on some days) and dropping drastically on the weekends, it's very obvious that most of this use is commercial.
So if you or your company relies on zbus, please consider sponsoring my work. 🙏 Resharing of this message would also help.
Once upon a time, a blonde became so sick of hearing blonde jokes that she had her hair cut and dyed brown. A few days later, as she was out driving around the countryside, she stopped her car to let a flock of sheep pass.
Admiring the cute wooly creatures, she said to the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I take one?"
The shepherd, always the gentleman, said, "Sure!" The blonde thought for a moment and, for no discernible reason, said, "352."
This being the correct number, the shepherd was, understandably, totally amazed, and exclaimed, "You're right! O.K., I'll keep to my end of the deal. Take your pick of my flock."
The blonde carefully considered the entire flock and finally picked the one that was by far cuter and more playful than any of the others.
When she was done, the shepherd turned to her and said, "O.K., now I have a proposition for you. If I can guess your true hair color, can I have my dog back?"
This week I learned there is such a thing as a lamb burger. And that one can get a hold of a few very easily in London. And I've decided I do not dislike lamb burgers, at all.
It's taken us a while, but we're finally able to continue work on documenting how to use the #WordPress block editor with a screen reader. Everything has been updated to include both Windows and Mac keystrokes, and has been tested with the latest versions of WordPress, Jaws for Windows, NVDA, and VoiceOver for the Mac, along with Firefox and Chrome.
SFTP, the SSH File Transfer Protocol, is a misleading name. It gives you the impression that it might be something like a secure version of FTP, perhaps something like FTPS but modeled over SSH instead of SSL.
@cryptomilk are there people using curl+libssh to download files to begin with? Would updating curl to use the aio api be worth the expected performance improvement?

@floyd @ant0inet it probably was! My screenshot is from LinkedIn but there are overlaps in the profiles there with the one you point to, to make me believe you are right!
｢ They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of ｣
