Před několika dny jsme mohli na #Vhsky přivítat českou #OSM komunitu @osmcz, jejíž kanál můžete sledovat i odsud: @sotm_czsk Případně si jej můžete prohlédnout na webu: vhsky.cz/c/sotm_czsk/
Zatím kanál obsahuje videa ze starších konferencí, ale snad se budeme moci brzo těšit i na nová.
This is ball bouncer from sooslandia Games. https://files.sooslandia.ru/BallBouncer/1.4.2/BallBouncer-windows-1.4.2.zipWant to watch these videos a few days ...
@jfayre just to varify, is trial of speed the one where you have to hit that thing above you, and not just the bar? I hope I am saying that right. trial of will frustrates me too, but trial of speed makes me want to pull my hair out.
@JamminJerry @jfayre That's the one. I'll have to listen to the video to see if Liam has tips, but I'm starting to get this mode. My scores have gone up, and I'm able to get more goals than before. My progress toward the couch and quest board is painfully slow, but I'm getting there. Even still, I'm tempted to amass millions of points in regular mode, then open a bunch of luck chests and hope for the orbs I need instead.
@jfayre @JamminJerry I honestly don't remember how to unlock them. Once you have them, go to shop > luck chests. You can open 10 chests every 8 or 12 hours. Each costs a lot more than the previous, and the first is 250,000 coins. I haven't gone past the third chest yet. So far, I've gotten random amounts of orbs from them.
Google Tables, a work-tracking tool and competitor to the popular spreadsheet-database hybrid Airtable, is shutting down. The app will not be supported after December 16, 2025.
I'm not bothered that the same crowd that was happy joking about feeding people to alligators wants us all to act as though this wretched monster who died from the exact policies he championed should be somehow go unmocked, mourned and valorized. That's expected, there's nothing new there.
I am bothered by the people I expected to know better doing just that.
So my laptop is getting wingy and and old, and I don't know exactly how long I'll be able to keep it.
I would like, in theory, to go back to Linux, but I need text to speech for accessibility reasons. *Really need it.* Is Linux there yet on accessibility?
OK, so you have specific pieces of text read aloud? Do you use a macOS system feature for that, or a specific app? Or do you mean speech-to-text, where you dictate text? Sorry if I seem dense, I just want to better understand what accessibility features you need before I offer an opinion on desktop Linux accessibility for you.
Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5
We’ve thought carefully about building this feature, and we hope it broadens your use of Mastodon!
However, you're in control: if you don’t want your content to be quoted, you can find the setting to prevent future quotes of your content under Settings -> Preferences -> Other (in Mastodon 4.4).
The crowd that gleefully cheered when their president suggested a "second amendment solution" to his political opponent would like you to know that political violence should always be condemned.
There are some very cool enhancements in the new VSCode. Join the VSCode email list and learn more later today, including accessibility enhancements and improvements.
For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.
Thank you, the country is sick and after yesterday I don't see it getting better any time soon. I'm becoming scared to continue living here, but I have nowhere else to go. I really hope we can get to the other side of this.
REM nailed it. Become the biggest band on the planet. Sell out stadiums all over the world. Have millions in the bank. Break up. Don't be tempted by lucrative comebacks. Fair play.
I'm supposed to be sad because a piece of hate-filled shit was killed yesterday. When he wanted gay people stoned to death. No, rot in hell, you racist, homophobic, misogynist, anti-tran scumbag.
“You shouldn’t celebrate his death.” He celebrated the deaths of Black and Brown people daily. He is a nazi. You are a nazi sympathizer.
No celebration. Just watching chickens coming home to roost, like Malcolm said.
Fake virtue signaling and demanding empathy for a man who said “empathy is for the weak” and whose actual last words were violent anti-black and anti-trans dogwhistles is absolutely delusional.
Having pity for a man who would gladly try to kill you for not being white is insane.
Live Translation with AirPods is not going to be available in the EU. This means that it doesn't use on-device AI model and the microphones forward everything to remote servers 🤯
UPDATE: Before this post goes out of control. The DMA can also be a reason why this feature is not available in the EU:
@mysk@mastodon.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I would bet that this isn’t about GDPR but about the digital markets act, in which case on-device or off device doesn’t make a difference.
I've discovered a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in how `libcurl` handles persistent HTTP/2 connections. During the initial handshake, `libcurl` correctly validates the...
Hi Daniel, thank you for your thorough investigation. You have a good point that this looks like slop. I assure you no LLM had been used for creating that report. Best regards Simen.
I think I found another vulnerability in curl, related to the one posted above. If the attacker has elevated file system access they can replace the curl or libcurl binaries to execute arbitrary code when curl is called. /s
I really admire your patience, after the first two replies the user would be labelled as "ignore, report as spam". These users do not understand what they're doing is a waste of money (in this case, other people's money, not theirs).
TalkBack, a part of the Android accessibility suite, is the screen reader developed by Google and comes pre-installed on most Android phones and tablets.
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.
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.
Re my last RT: paying someone to do something they already enjoy can actually make them enjoy it less. I am absolutely living proof of this.
I once got advice as a teenager. Someone said "don't do what you love for a living. You'll hate it later." And, while that's not 100% true, my autistic burnout doesn't agree.
I certainly find it cumbersome to read books on request rather than just picking what I want. And I can really see how working in digital accessibility would burn me out for wanting to fix things on a personal or family level.
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 😤
"carbon capture project." <- and they are getting scammed on this. The only carbon capture is by keeping that shit in the ground. In solid or liquid form.
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.
I wish I could have chosen multiple options. Option 3 is under serious threat as well, as more and more device manufacturers refuse to unlock the bootloader for alternative OS installation. I'm tired of the fact that a manufacturer can decide that the fully functional computer in my pocket is now obsolete just because they can't be bothered to support it anymore. This is making me seriously consider life without a smartphone. Maybe I should give Fairphone a go before I do that...
Mudita Kompakt is a minimalist phone designed for mindful living. Featuring an E Ink screen, long battery life, and distraction-free tools, this E Ink phone helps you stay focused and unplug with ease.
PWAs can mitigate the problem, but they don’t completely solve it. They’re a halfway house: more open than app stores, less powerful than true side-loading? I don't know:)
It seems that this might be the push that Linux and other OS options needed to de-Android. The fact is that Android has been under serious threat for over a decade. Remember the Oracle legal attacks to try and take it back over Java? Whereas devs were devalued with open source alternatives, now maybe they will flourish? Let's hope.
I'm also using Graphene. But in the future, if Google decides to cancel AOSP, I buy the last gen of Pixels that support custom OS and keep it. Phones arent getting better anyways, only that stupid AI shit nobody wants.
Another option. I use Lineage for now, but I think it affects me anyway as when less people use APKs or F-droid less developers are going to publish less apps outside Google Play Store. So I hope you will continue providing Tuta mail/callendar on F-Droid and also support any possible Linux on mobile project with Tuta apps just in case Google also kills AOSP forks one day.
the best option is that some open source community need to start manufacturing phone with lineage os or any other open source os to fcuk Google... I'm using my phone without any Google apps😎.. Even I replaced my phone reinstalled apps like dialer msg contacts camera file manager.. Everything... Fcuk goo(shit)gle 😁
yes, 1, 2, and 3. All of the above. I use GrapheneOS, so I plan to continue installing whatever apps I want to. And both Google and Apple can go fuck themselves.
