Krásné #dobréRáno a parádní den vám přeju, přátelé a kamarádi Mastodontíci ❤️💙☕️
Díky zdeňkovi @archos jsem se mohl vrátit. Děkuju vám všem za podporu v době, kdy jsem tu nebyl (@onka6, @KaterinaGloserova , ...) Dost se mi po vás stýskalo, jen jsem si to chtěl všechno v hlavě ujasnit. Chvíli jsem byl na BS, je tam pár fajn lidí, kteří tady nejsou, ale jinak je to tam takový neosobní... No a pak už jsem se neuměl vrátit. Zapomněl jsem vstupní údaje... Odpusťte mi, chyběli jste mi... ❤️💙😉
Jsme moc rádi, že jsi tu! 👋☕♥️ Na vysvětlování si ani nepotrpíme, všichni tu jsou svobodní a dveře nejsou zamčené. Jen míváme obavy, jestli je ten nebo ten v pořádku, když se neodhlásí. 😊
In today's episode of #accessibility shit-fuckery: our new dishwasher. In terms of form factor, Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers really suit us: you effectively get two half dishwashers, so you can easily run a half load, run one while you're still filling the other, etc. We had them at our old house years ago and they were awesome. They were also the most accessible dishwasher I've encountered by design: they had tactile buttons, and even though some of the buttons cycled between options, there were different beeps when you wrapped around to the start of the options, so if you couldn't see the screen, you could choose what you wanted easily once familiar. So when our old dishwasher died last week, it was a clear choice: we'd get DishDrawers. There's always a risk that new models will regress accessibility, and unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to test or find out about stuff like this. But this new model also has WiFi connectivity, so I figured that would work as a fallback at least. It turns out that they're all capacitive touch buttons; i.e. not tactile, no press. Worse, there are no distinct beeps when you wrap around to the first option, etc. So I resigned myself to using the app, which is surprisingly very accessible. But... no go there either. Because of a safety feature you can't disable, you have to enable remote start using the (inaccessible) buttons on the dishwasher. Remote start gets auto disabled when the door is opened, after the next wash completes or after 72 hours, whichever comes first. At best, that makes this thing extremely tedious for me to use. I can stick tactile dots above or below the buttons, but even then, it's easy to accidentally touch a button while you're looking for them and you can easily choose the wrong option due to the lack of useful audible feedback. I already have this problem with our air fryer and it frustrates the hell out of me. But I guess it just is what it is, as is so often the case. The worst part is that they took a reasonably accessible product and made it inaccessible. And for what? Visually pleasing touch buttons that probably don't even function when you have wet hands (because surely people don't have wet hands in a kitchen?). It's Thermomix all over again. And the message these companies send is clear: "we don't care about people with disabilities at all. We don't even give it a thought." I called Fisher & Paykel to see if there's anything they can do and it's been escalated to their tech team, but I'm not holding my breath, especially because the inability to permanently enable remote start is a deliberate safety choice. I'm just so, so tired of struggling with and fighting these battles every. Single. Day. I barely even have the energy to be angry. The temptation to just give up is immense.
This fetish for touch buttons and touchscreens needs to bloody stop. I saw a stand mixer the the other month with a touchscreen on which is what you need on a highly dangerous machine that you could accidentally start by touching it. Absolutely ridiculous.
recently moved my 85 year old father into a new apartment, to be greeted by an induction hob with entirely capacitive touch controls, dark red-on-black digital displays, and only one type of beep sound for all functions. Dad has always been red-green colourblind, his sight is now deteriorating generally, and he has a slight tremor in his hands - none of which are unusual conditions, one would have thought - and there is not a chance he could operate that safely. It was shockingly hard to even find a cooker with manual controls, and the landlord was unhappy to say the least about swapping out the precious "state of the art" machine with a "basic old fashioned" one. It's absolutely maddening.
In today's episode of #accessibility shit-fuckery: our new dishwasher.
A dishwasher that can or needs an internet connection absolute no go.
Crappy sensors which only function sometimes and not with wet hands.
Ask Bosch Siemens.
There is so much untested trash sold as advancement, why because engineers are scared to tell their bosses to F Off because that great new idea is just flashy shit.
Doesn't help obviously, but we had to make a switch this year as well. We opted for a Siemens model. Can do half loaded washing as well, although you can't fill the other half up while its washing, but then again it doesn't have the remote start issues you are describing. You basically turn it on once and it'll stay on forever. Home Connect also is fully accessible. But household appliances are always hit or miss, really.
@ToniBarth Apparently remote start was limited because of concerns that little kids might climb in, the drawer could close and then it could be remote started, with potentially very bad results. I obviously applaud a commitment to safety, but there are other ways to do this, including (but not limited to) a clear safety warning screen where the adult user takes responsibility. Out of interest, does yours have push buttons or do you have to always operate it via the app?
It doesn't have touch, just typical push buttons. No audio feedback though, so its basically remembering which buttons you have to press for what. I usually press on/off and start/stop to start the default program, and whenever I want to run a different washing cycle i'll do that via the app. Also all notifications come in via the app as well.
@ToniBarth I'm in the middle with my washer/dryer, the remote app connectivity works pretty well but you do have to set the machine to " remote" program first, which is a knob, and then press the " Remote" button which is capacitive, as is that entire machine's control panel apart from the knob. The one good thing is that you get an error chirp if you try to turn on remote without the remote program being selected, so you essentially twist, press, twist, press until the remote comes on, at which point you have to use the app. Welcome to the future!
@zersiax Wait, so what else does the knob do? Can you trigger non-remote things from the panel at all even with sight? And if so, how if the only other button is the remote button? @ToniBarth
@ToniBarth there's more capacitive buttons all over the panel, and the knob cycles between programs, one of which is the remote "program" which makes the remote button active
@zersiax @ToniBarth Ah. So is there still a risk of you accidentally hitting other buttons and starting something you didn't intend to start? I guess that's mitigated by the bottom right location of the remote button somewhat.
@ToniBarth yeah if you angle your hand just right its relatively foolproof, but the play/pause is close to that remote button so if you accidentally brush your hand against it you may very well start something
I absolutely hate that. Our new washer and dryer do the same thing. I had to get someone to put a label on the remote start buttons, and I'm working on memorizing where they are when I have my hand in a certain position on the edge so I can avoid pressing other buttons. To LG's credit, the app tells me what changes right away, with VO saying "deep cycle selected" or whatever an accidental button press does as I'm going for remote start. That doesn't excuse anything, though.
Yup, same Dishwasher controls back here too. All I can do is turn it on and start the auto cycle. Needed to put a dot above where you would press. Yes, very frustrating.
@mcourcel Do you ever find you miss the dot when looking for it and end up flubbing other buttons because your hand was too far down? I do that with our air fryer sometimes and it drives me wild.
Fortunately the dishwasher has buttons in a long row, so it's easier. Yeah, our air fryer actually has a flat screen with buttons that click and beep when you press them. So that's helpful anyway. I do miss being able to use the Instapot on my own though.
@jpellis2008 I guess it's only intended to be used for delayed/scheduled remote start, even though you *can* start it immediately. And I agree it's ridiculous.
Krásné dobré ráno mastodonťata! 🙋♀️🐶🐈 Nebudu lhát.Za těch pár dní částečné výměny kancelářské židle za pracovní rukavice jsem poněkud rozlámaná.Ta moje kondice nebude tak ucházející, jak jsem si myslela. 😂 Ještěže jsou takové vynálezy, jako je horká sprcha.To co je bolavé prohřeje, to co je ubrblané, odplaví.Vzhůru do nového dne!Po práci mám brigádu u mamky, ale večer! Babinec!Domů vlastně až zítra. 😁😁 Vy to moc nepřehánějte, máme pátek, tak ať vám zbydou síly na víkend. 😊 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno
Ah yeah WordPress that confuses Titlle and Description and use the latter for both title and Caption and leave Description empty. And of course this propagate the the gallery.
* It requires at least librsvg 2.14, which is from 2006, which is when rsvg_handle_get_dimensions() was introduced. That function was deprecated in 2.52, in 2021. If available, Emacs will use all the new APIs. There is #ifdef hell in there.
* src/image.c is 13K lines of code.
* Emacs still uses debbugs.
* The first commit is from 1985, but the first hundreds of commits are weird. It normalizes in 1991.
my favorite emacs fun fact is that it undumps -- basically breathes life into a core dump in order to avoid doing a large amount of slow initialization work. or at least it used to, I don't follow this...
I had this side project to normalize the old RCS/CVS history for a lot of the early #GNU programs into Git. I think maybe my retirement hobby will be to pick that up.
Also, There is a set of “lost tapes” — open-reel magnetic tapes that had the 1984-circa 1994 early GNU backups – a goldmine of history. When I worked at FSF, we sent a giant box to a volunteer to bring them onto modern disks, & AFAIK the volunteer ghosted & no one knows where they are. 😕
@bkuhn current tooling to go direct from CVS to git must be incredibly better than what was available years ago, what with the gcc -> git migration.
The two times (I think?) GNOME has changed VCS, from cvs -> svn -> git there was a small, dedicated team of people basically writing custom tooling to do it (or adapting tools to do that), and there are SO MANY SPECIAL CASES. A bunch of repos have funny commits near the beginning, and then they settle down and appear normal.
I haven't looked who the 80s' stuff imported, but I suspect it was particularly bad (as you said) because:
GNU development used SCCS (proprietary), then¹ RCS once it was stable enough, and *then* imported it into CVS from there, which, in turn, was imported to Git. I am pretty sure no one has the backups of the old RCS files (except the lost tapes I mentioned upthread), & to get the truly old data well-imported, we'd need those.
@YaLTeR I don't know how much of an effort is put into making newer Emacsen still work on old systems, or if this is just compatibility cruft that was never removed. A totally different world from recent GNOME.
Regarding the commit history, the early history had to be stitched together from various sources since a lot of it obviously predates git and the earliest stuff wasn't using any kind of version control. If I remember right that work was done during the bzr->git migration about 10 years ago. But I might be wrong, maybe bzr already had it.
There have been quite a few attempts to re-implement (part of) Emacs'
functionalities in languages other than C, like JEmacs, remacs, and lem. And we
are seeing new efforts in EmacsConf 2024: rune 1, gypsum 2,
and the revived Guilemacs 3.
MAGA Pierre and his ilk will never vote for them anyway. I still secretly think it's because Carney wants Danielle Smith to kiss him and that's why we're going to sell out to the suicidal cult of Albertan politics without anything to be gained from it.
I've always wondered if that was done for some kind of kickback or sinecure or donation off on the side somehow, because surely they knew that was never going to win them any vote out West anyway. So what did they get from it? Why would they do that unless they got something for it?
Back in April, I preached a sermon titled "God is our source of worth and approval." I was preaching for myself because I need to hear that message, but a lot of other people said that it helped them as well. Sharing here in case it might help you, too.
Here's the intro: We all need to feel worthy, accepted, and that we’re doing a good job. There can be two errors that can cause us a lot of anxiety and to make bad decisions.
One error is looking for these affirmations of worth, acceptance, and approval from other people. That will cause us to always seek to try to please people. Our actions will be controlled by them.
The other error is to stop caring about what other people think and just do whatever we want. This could be good, but we all have sinful natures and can deceive ourselves. Besides that, pride is a very dangerous thing. The original sin of the devil was pride, thinking that he knew better than God. Adam and Eve fell because the devil promised them that when they ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, then they would become like God. For the first time in their lives, they choose something contrary to the will of God—because of pride.
So, what is the right way to fulfill our needs for feeling worthy, accepted, and approved?
Just like we trust God for our basic needs like food and clothing, we can look to him for our need for love, belonging, and esteem. The more that you understand this, the freer you will be in your life. You will be able to make good decisions and relate to people in a proper and healthy way.

As an autist I don’t experiment sounds like non autists because they can filter and I can’t.
The video is a perfect example of how I AM experiencing sounds, and I’m sure it’s the same for many others of us. (However, some sounds mentioned in it, the sounds of the street, are missing).
The video is also a perfect example on how music in background (only at the beginning) makes difficult for me to focus on what someone is saying.
Be careful fellow autistic if you watch it with sound on. (The video has closed captions).
“What Does Overstimulation Sound Like To Someone With Autism?“
This was mainly made to show my mom. Ha ha. So please remember I am just trying to show (to my mom) what it's like for me to be in a crowded room and why it'...
Merci pour cette vidéo ! Je ne suis pas autiste, mais je suis aveugle de naissance. Et je vous dirais que ma perception de bruits est beaucoup plus proche à celle des autistes qu'à celle des gens « typiques ».
Je veux juste préciser que cette perception n’est pas celle de toutes les personnes autistes, je suis hypersensible aux bruits alors que d’autres sont hyposensibles, certaines probablement les deux.
Je peux, disons, me concentrer sur une conversation, mais mon cerveau travaille quand-même en mode forcé, je dirais. Parce que je n'ai pas de vision, mes yeux ne fonctionnent pas, c'est le son qui me donne la plupart de l'information, donc non, je ne peux pas « couper » tout ce qui est extra.
Me to siri: Turn on my 6:20 alarm. Siri: I turned off all your alarms. Me: No, turn on my 6:20 alarm. Siri: Sorry, I don't understand. Me: Turn on my 6:20 Alarm. Siri: Just to confirm, you want to power off this device? Me: *goes to home screen and reopens siri* Okay. Turn, on, my, 6:20, alarm. Siri: I turned on your 6:00 PM alarm. What the fuck?

EVT-stage prototype multi-disk iPod; it featured multiple dual-platter 1.8" hard drives in a RAID-0 configuration with a total storage capacity of 240GB.
Holy crap, Emily Blunt's sword from Edge of Tomorrow was auctioned off today from a prop house. That'd be one of the few bits of movie memorabilia I'd want to display in my house (but probably not worth the 10-15k it was supposed to go for) propstoreauction.com/lot-detai…
my boss used to have Thor's hammer. He does have the entire Batman suit from one of the movies, can't recall which one. And the Bane suit. So probably that movie.
I believe they called him up and bought back the Thor hammer because they wanted it back for a movie
We built local backdoors for Signal, 1Password & Slack through V8 heap snapshot tampering (CVE-2025-55305).
Method: Replace v8_context_snapshot.bin files with versions that override JavaScript builtins. When apps call Array.isArray(), malicious code executes. Works because integrity checks ignore these "non-executable" files that actually contain executable JavaScript.
A vulnerability in Electron applications allows attackers to bypass code integrity checks by tampering with V8 heap snapshot files, enabling local backdoors in applications like Signal, 1Password, and Slack.
For obvious reasons, I have decided to protect my Mastodon account on this instance. This is all because of Ramon Salazar and his bullshit. I hate having to make this decision, but it has to be done. If anyone wishes to follow me then please feel free to do so. Just keep in mind that since my account will be protected, I will have to approve each follower request I receive. Stay safe everyone. And I hope all of you have an amazing day.
