@NVAccess I'd like to report an adon in the adon store that possibly contains malware and is being flagged as malware by Windows Defender and other antivirus programs and therefore won't install. It is redundant anyway now since the thing it is built for is now included in NVDA as of the latest version. The adon in question is called "Tele NVDA Remote Assistance" by HM something (HMDorb? HMDub? something with HMD in the developer's name anyway) and I couldn't find a report feature in the store directly so that's why I'm reporting it directly in a post on Mastodon. Anyway I tried installing it myself and sure enough Windows Defender flagged it as a threat and stopped it from installing on my computer, so that's how I know it's Malware. The URL to the adon is github.com/nvda-es/TeleNVDA I strongly recommend you take a look as I think it's definitely got some sort of Malware in it. I have already reported it to Github so they can take a look on their end.

Echoing @cubic - we have looked at that & we believe it is a false positive. What is being flagged is basically the same as what was flagged in the original NVDA Remote & in our built in implementation until we reported it as a false positive and had it fixed. We have helped TeleNVDA report the false positive as well - it can just take awhile. We do actually virus check all add-ons (as well as all NVDA core code), and it's amazing(ly annoying) how often things get falsely falgged

Wife had a job interview as the doctor she works with is going on maternity leave and she's kinda being left in limbo there

Them: so if you show up on time, you get $2/hr more. If you wear your uniform, you get $2/hr more. If you submit this paperwork on time, you get $2/hr more.

Her: Wait, what? Why is this a thing?

Them: oh you were born before 2000 weren't you? This is what we have to do now to get young people to actually follow the rules.

Our ongoing repo reorg also resulted in other 8 apps having been removed, as they were no longer maintained AND rarely requested anymore:

* Elfreader
* Fastair
* Warpshare
* OpenFarManager
* Calculator (ha! yeah, which one 🙈 The one from 2016)
* BookShelf
* TailPos
* domodel-diary

Our reorg is still ongoing, so more will probably follow. We hope the cleaning also makes it easier for you to find what you need in our repo, without distraction.

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post /
"A firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000 for 14-18 influencers to create content."

Anybody looking for #FreeBSD #ZFS job in Europe or Armenia? Take a look at lists.freebsd.org/archives/fre…. As I worked on that position until this August, I can only recommend it. The only reason I left is because of a full time open source position. Whoever fills in the position, I can promise you, you'll see wonders and make wonderful friends for life! 😃 I still chat with my old team members, and with some of them on a regular basis. In any case, good luck!

Whew! Careful out there today.

There's a lot of people in my timeline boosting and posting misinformation (and disinformation).

(eg that McAfee *unwittingly* posted an AI image of a woman with three hands - even though that was the *point* of the ad campaign... selling AI detection.

or that Madonna has rejected a $500 million dollar deal from Elon Musk)

Everyone can fall for misinfo. If you read a claim - ESPECIALLY IF YOU AGREE WITH IT OR GET JOY FROM IT - please verify it before you post or boost it.

Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.
Dont boost until you validate.

(and unboost or delete the post if you later find it to be fake)

Posting this as a personal reminder. I make mistakes too and have accidentally boosted false info in the past. Bonus points for anyone who sends this post back to me in the future when I make that mistake again 😅

Vloni touhle dobou jsem se začal chystat na důchod. Mám před sebou ještě 12 let a, s prominutím, holou prdel. Vybral jsem penzijní a zainvestoval vlastními silami.

Dva brokeři:
1) XTB, kde držím velkou většinu a kde mám pouze ETF a pomocí DCA pravidelně měsíčně vkládám hotovost a doufám, že za těch 12 let se zhodnotí.

2) eToro, kde si hraju s drobnými. Traduji akcie. Moc tomu nehovím, jen tak nějak chápu o co jde přirozenou inteligencí a všeobecným rozhledem, za přispění čtyř YouTube kanálů o investování.

A blíží se konec roku a vidím, že díky Trumpovi a jeho debilitě šly trhy do háje a když se konečně z hájů vrátily, je v háji pro změnu dolar, takže zisk nic moc. Spíš nic. Avšak ten trading, ten se mi povedl. Jsem opatrný, smrdím korunou, a i přes tu opatrnost hle, o kolik jsem překonal index S&P500. To mě těší, opravdu. Snad ten důchod nakonec nebude tak zlej.

nicméně je třeba dodat, že tohle je dobrá strategie s horizontem >10 let. Kdybych měl 5 let do důchodu, tak už v akciích na důchod nespořím. Když to pak řachne těsně před důchodem, tak to není sranda.
Já jsem investice na mnoho let vyřešil stavbou domu. Máme velkou hypo, takže můžu jakékoliv přebytečné peníze sypat do ní se zhodnocením 6 % při nulovém riziku. 🙂

Přečteno po dlouhém dni:

Mužové boiótští, slyšeli jste někdy, že by se dávalo jméno moudrý člověku nešťastnému? nebo šprýmaři? nebo člověku žlučovitému a zklamanému? Povězte, proč je zvykem, aspoň v životě nefilozofickém, nazývati člověkem moudrým muže takového, který chová nejméně nenávisti a který si se světem dobře rozumí? Řekněte si pro sebe mnohokrát a mnohokrát slovo moudrost; řekněte si to slovo, když jste v radosti nebo v žalu, unaveni, rozhořčeni a netrpěliví; budete v něm slyšeti smutek, ale už usmířený, radost, ale stále a jemně opakovanou, únavu, ale plnou pobídek, trpělivost a odpuštění bez konce; a to vše, přátelé, je zvuk rozkošný a teskný, hlas, kterým zvučí moudrost. Ano, moudrost je tesknota jakási. Rozum svůj může člověk cele vložit do svého díla, může jej uskutečnit svou prací. Avšak moudrost vždy zůstane nad každým dílem. Moudrý člověk je jako zahradník, který mrví záhon nebo přivazuje růže k tyčím a přitom myslí třeba na boha. Jeho dílo nikdy neobsáhne ani neztělesní jeho moudrost. Rozum je v činu, ale moudrost je v prožití.

I've started this #Fanfic whilst hoping labour would progress. The baby isn't out yet but at least we're having a giggle between contractions, comrades.

Harry Potter and the Ludicrously Illegal Blog, By The Sentient Duck

No one bothers to tell Harry about the Statute of Secrecy or, for that matter, that electronics shouldn't work in Hogwarts, so when he joins the magical world, he just continues writing his blog. The Muggle public is convinced he's a brilliant fantasy writer, his friends are convinced he's a menace to society, and MI6 is convinced Hermione is a Russian spy. Modern AU.

It's a 200k word Fic that seems to have been written over the course of 12 months or so last year.

Mildred was the self-appointed church gossip and moral monitor—always poking her nose where it didn’t belong. Most people didn’t approve of her behavior, but they stayed quiet to avoid the drama.
But one day, she went too far. She accused Frank, a new church member, of being an alcoholic after seeing his old truck parked outside the town’s only bar. She loudly told others, “Everyone seeing that truck there will know what he’s doing.”
Frank, a quiet man, didn’t argue. He didn’t say a word. He just walked away.
That evening, Frank drove his truck to Mildred’s house… parked it out front… walked home… and left it there all night.

I joined the #fediverse back in the days because I wanted an alternative. A real alternative. With a fundamentally different approach. Decentralised. Even when it hurts. (federation and decentralisation is complicated!) And I think we are on the right track. What bothers me are the people that want the Fediverse to be 1:1 copycat of centralised services and as that isn't the case declare it to be a failed experiment. I'll stay here. It's better. Is all.

Concept that shouldn't be hard to make: a fediverse Patreon/OF/etc alternative.

I don't think it needs to be or even should be its own instance patrons have to make fedi accounts on. Rather, it could just approve follows from an existing fedi account based on payment. You'd request follow to a closed-follows account, give your account handle when making payment, then get approved.

Thanks Slack, for using [object Object] as the parent node for your section separators in the activity area, it really makes my workday quite joyful to hear it 50 times throughout the working day, you know?
With much love.
P.s. Your feedback staff and process are great, this is nothing against it at all - it's something other companies need to become better at to that same extent.

@menelion oh yeah! You can do a /feedback right from within the app, it probably goes to the same folks as I've gotten some reps who were always the same (Simon) for testing accessibility stuff. Sometimes they'd even repro it within their team and tell me if they found the problem or not, honestly one of the best feedback experiences even if it goes through the regular customer channels first.

ok then why do I see all this trash when compiling it? If the Rust compiler has this capability why is this a warning and not an error?
