Opinion: Exclusive TalkBack Features for Google TTS Are Doing More Harm Than Good accessibleandroid.com/opinion-…

Are you part of an open source project with a community of users, contributors, and/or third party developers?

I want to interview people about their projects with particular attention to how codebases, documentation, project management tooling, and community spaces are constructed.

On these "project tours" we'll go through your project together, on video call, and talk about how the structure of the project influences, and is influenced by, your goals, culture, logistical constraints, etc.

For a while now I have been looking for an easy-to-use solution to track the time I spent on various tasks at my wor. My colleague has recommended Toggl, a tool to do just that in the browser. I have tried it and neither the website nor the Windows app were accessible. Thanks to somebody boosting it, I have discovered Timery for Toggl by @joehribar , a third-party client for the Toggl service. It is easy, definitely accessible and powerful with shortcuts and widgets. It's customizable to the point where i now use the VoiceOver gesture of two-finger swipe left to start a new time entry (an instance of time running), as opposed to a timer which is a predefined time counting config that creates its own time entries once launched (this I start with a two-finger swipe to the right, pick a timer from the list and go). The new time entry only requires a name and starts immediately. I can assign it to a project later. The quadruple tap with one finger resumes the recent timer and a single tap on both sides of the screen (actually the half of the gesture to enable Braille Screen Input), stops any running tracking (I'll have to change that actually as it gets triggered everytime I really try to activate BSI). The subscription is definitely worth it! I don't have to even open the app most of the time and tracking has become much easier. Thank you! apps.apple.com/pl/app/timery-f… #Accessibility #Blind #iOS

Many moons ago, a friend ran an SSH honeypot that had a unique feature: when the attacker gained "access" to the system, he could then send responses to the interactive commands the attackers executed over an IRC channel.

One day, some attacker popped in, and he started to taunt them live. Often, the attackers were just throwing in some copypasta and weren't actually checking the responses. This one time, the attacker realised what was going on and was quite amused, and started to chat back, sending fake commands to see if he would get obvious human responses back (Note: that this was well before generative AI). This went on for some time, and some kind of a connection was formed. The attacker would come back to chat with my friend, logging in over SSH to this honeypot.

Eventually, the attacker divulged other means to communicate with him. He told my friend he was a bored Romanian guy who ran a kind of academy for young hacking talent. They'd gain access to some box, install their SSH bruteforcer (random IPv4 addresses and fixed password lists), and rinse and repeat.

Eventually, the attackers seemed to stop and disappear. My friend contacted them and asked what had happened: maybe they had been caught by authorities?

No such luck. Apparently, they had discovered some addictive online game that was more interesting.

Good morning my freinds,

I woke up today to loud gunfire and many explosions. As usual I checked that my family is ok. I succesfully completed the chemistry exam. I'll spend most of my time today preparing for the next exams. Hopefully nothing bad happens to us today.

I'm not a number. I'm human being. I have life details. I have a story. I have a dream. I love my life even if it's too difficult.

The number one reason for (at least) weekly changes to my site is to update the AI crawler/siphon blockers ... it never stops : there are 97 of them right now 😤

seems like the next five have more to do with actually good things, but I have a bad feeling anything good is going to perpetually be locked behind "once we complete all these O&G and resource extraction projects for private companies we'll have a look at it".

The HSR on the Windsor-Québec corridor at least hasn't been cancelled (as far as I know), but expediting that would have been a positive sign.

Not feeling super optimistic.

⚡ Google is killing Android freedom by stopping you from side-loading apps. What's your reaction?

Option 1: Stop call it side-loading: Google wants to stop us from INSTALLING apps on our OWN phones.

Option 2: Awesome, now I can hate Google and Apple equally for destroying freedom.

Option 3: I don't care as I'm using a different OS anyway (please comment which one!)

I really don't think Carney knows what the words "nation building" means. "Nation building" is making big ambitious investments that make people proud of being part of the nation and unite the nation.

Public healthcare was a nation building project. The railroad was a nation building project. The Canadarm did some nation building. Weed could have been if Trudeau didn't fuck it up and put the provinces in charge. Dental care could have been if it wasn't just Obamacare for teeth.

Examples of nation building projects would be:
- High speed rail
- Free universal child care
- Massive investment in public transit across all cities (not PPP)
- A UBI
- A nationalized ISP with a mandate to provide high speed internet to all

No one is going to be like "I am so fucking proud we have invested in a copper mine!" or "Wooo! Upgrades to existing nuclear power plant!!" or "phase 2 of an LNG pipeline? Awesome! Phase 2, baby!!"

Those are not nation building. Those are just industry investment.
