@adam You might be interested to know that I completely replaced the Bell Gigahub modem without any issues this morning. The process is perfectly accessible, other than needing someone to read the ONT ID off the back of your bell modem. You need a router or switch with an SFP+ port. You also need a fan or other active cooling for the fiber module; they run at about 90 degrees. Then I purchased my x-onu-sfpp from fibermall. Once you have these things, you can use these instructions: pon.wiki/guides/masquerade-as-the-bce-inc-giga-hub-with-the-was-110/#purchase-a-was-110-or-x-onu-sfpp

I thought I was going to just get up and make a bunch of new AT-SPI releases, but no such luck. I check my email and find that someone tested my latest fix and found that, for Bengali, Orca isn't reading all characters as they are typed. It isn't clear to me if this is a regression or just a bug that has been there all along and that I didn't fix, and I was going to backport my fix to the old stable branches, so now I have to figure out the answer to that before I can proceed.

Proton Mail Falls Under U.S. Jurisdiction

If you read their Terms of Service, at first glance, they reference the laws of Switzerland. However, because they now have offices in the United States — along with registrations, trademarks, copyrights, and patents in the U.S. — they also cite U.S. laws. The only two countries you'll see mentioned are Switzerland and the United States — nothing else.

Their CEO has, on several occasions, also praised Donald Trump. Additionally, Proton left the Fediverse because they couldn’t silence users there as they have on platforms like Facebook or Reddit. The fact that they’re now trying to silence journalists doesn’t surprise me.

There are better alternatives to Proton Mail.

#serviceToot one of the mirrors at #IzzyOnDroid had a power outage, and is currently in recovery (file system repair) – the USV didn't like to be triggered 3 times in a row 🙈). Good thing there are multiple mirrors, so you shouldn't even notice it – unless you pinned your client to our US mirror…

You can watch the state at our monitor, and thus see when the mirror recovered:

(one of our builders was affected too – but as with the mirrors, we luckily have more than one)

I can’t believe how easy it is to switch to @Tutanota and its excellent apps. I’ve been frustrated by how most alternatives to Apple Mail and Apple Calendar fall short. But Tuta Mail and Calendar work so well — including with my own domains. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #email #calendar #ios #macos #apple #EUAlternatives

Okay, fine. I caved. I Preordered an iPhone 17 Pro today. I have never been less excited about ordering a phone. I will never stop being bitter that i can't get a small iPhone anymore. I decided on the pro over the 17 because of the slightly larger battery and I figured the fancy camera might be helpful for Aira, Be My Eyes and all the other blindy related stuff I do with the camera. By the time I got in, the delivery date was Sep. 25 so I have a couple weeks to try to get happy about my big ass phone.

Thanks. Other states should follow immediately! c.im/@cdarwin/1151930651416428…


California lawmakers pass bill banning law enforcement officers from covering their faces

The person arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder?

As Joyce Vance says,

"The suspect [is] a cisgender white man raised in a religious, Republican home."

So will Wall Street Journal and New York Times now apologize for promoting the lie about bullet casings left behind by the shooter that were marked with "transgender" symbols, whatever the jumping hell that means?

I doubt it.

"Tyler Robinson comes from a Republican family. His father owns a business installing kitchen countertops and cabinets. His mother is a licensed social worker. His family is white, Mormon, and self-described as 'gun-toting.' There are endless photos of Tyler and his family with guns. His mother posted about him proudly."

"He even dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween. The family wasn’t shy about their culture of guns, their politics, or their worldview.

This is who the killer is. This is what we now know. And yet Trump and his cronies immediately blamed the left."

Remember that white house executive order against DEIA, “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility”?

They went out of their way to add the A for accessibility. So this is very sad but not surprising.
