NVDA 2026.1 will make indent beeps half as long, to try and get around the problem of them covering the first couple syllables of a word sometimes. If you want to try this to begin adjusting to it before 2026.1 as I did, put the following in the Python console. You need to do this on every NVDA restart unfortunately until it lands in stable: speech.speech.IDT_TONE_DURATION = 40

Die Chatkontrolle ist wie ein Zombie: Mit jeder Ratspräsidentschaft kehrt sie zurück – trotz mehrfacher Ablehnung. Sie bleibt ein Angriff auf Grundrechte: Massen-Scanning, Aufweichen von Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung, trügerische Sicherheit durch Client-Side-Scanning. Missbrauch bekämpfen ja – aber rechtsstaatlich: Prävention, Opferhilfe, besser ausgestattete Ermittler statt Generalverdacht. Zeit für eine klare Absage.

Why this "AV" (Age Verification) requiring the upload of documents poses risks which are IMHO not justified by the reason:

discord.com/press-releases/upd…

What got out? Well, just "… Name, Discord username, email and other contact details … billing information … IP addresses … government‑ID images (e.g., driver’s license, passport) from users who had appealed an age determination"

Well, happy identity thefting then… Remember: what's not there, cannot be stolen 🤷‍♂️

Když jsme volili Pavla, měla jsem celé odpoledne pušťenou tv na #autobusak ových monitorech. Na každé obrazovce bylo něco jiného. A přiznám se, že jednu chvíli jsem i slzu zamáčkla (Ta citlivá dívka ve mně stále dřímá!).

Každopádně, jdu ladit monitory. #autobusak bohužel v práci, holt mu budu psát, co a jak.

Prostě křeslo, pletení na uklidnění, kafe a BUDE TO DOBRÝ! MUSÍ BÝT!

Díky, že jste tu nervózní se mnou!

Guten Morgen und einen besinnlichen #tagderdeutscheneinheit ! Mich würde heute vor allem die persönliche Perspektive interessieren.
Welche Verbindung habt ihr zur Wiedervereinigung und der Zeit um 1990?

#Einheit - ein ganz schön großes Wort.

Irgendwann stand damals Stagnation, Frust, Hoffnung, Vision, auch Angst.

Dann Widerstand, Aufbruch, neue Ideen, Aktivität.

Leider allzufrüh DMark, Kapitulation, Beitritt, Anschluss.

Für Wiedervereinigung, Einheit, hätte es Augenhöhe bedurft. Die war nicht wahrzunehmen. Klar, (nicht nur) Freude auf beiden Seiten.

Dann aber ein beispielloses Abwerten, Ausverkauf unter Wert, auf Kosten der Lebensleistung Tausender.

Trotz allem auch wieder neue Wege und Energie.

Die Beschreibung, Erinnerung wird immer unvollständig bleiben. Die Standpunkte sind verschieden.

#Wende scheint mir immer noch passender.

Alright, hey people. I usually would not be posting about this, but I wanted to keep myself safe, even though I don't expect this to happen to me. A certain troll has been impersonating people more often as of the past couple days. The only accounts that belong to me are this one ( @Kaliah ) and my alternate account ( @Haven_of_dreams ). No other accounts claiming my name, bio, or anything else belong to me. I have no plans to migrate, create any new accounts, or change this presence in any way, so there's no other anticipated accounts that will exist in the future. If anyone sees anything concerning or questionable, please feel free to DM me for confirmation or help. Alright, that's it. Back to your regularly scheduled scrolling. :)

Anyone using the Tsumugi web radio app?

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/fr.fo…

It saw its last release in 2019, its repo lies dormant since 2022 with issues ignored – but we still see about 10 downloads per month via F-Droid clients (so app installs). So shall we keep it as "still useful" – or remove it as "It's dead, Jim!"?

EDIT: Thanks for boosts & feedback! App will be removed with the next sync.

well, we appreciate Signal trying to make a difference with its public weight ahead of the oct14 chat control vote. Yes, Signal is centralized and running on gafam servers but it also was a key leading effort to make e2ee UX widely available ... and that is fundamentally threatened by #chatcontrol. Federated #xmpp or #email servers do not help against legislation that aims at apps and clients. This is a time to put all of our joint weight against chatcontrol, not gamble for exceptions.
in reply to Daniel Gultsch

@delta I am not sure to understand your argument well. So I understand (perhaps not correctly) the idea of ​​this time with #ChatControl is that the messages are scanned on the client's side, and before that the infrastructure does not matter. I will avoid that restriction but the vast majority of people do not do it. If they do not scan my device they will do it in the person with whom I communicate. It would be a lost battle.
in reply to Daniel Gultsch

The fight is to not loose the rights older generations fought for. Everything else is arrogance. Thinking you can out smart authoritarian shifts and attacking voices fighting this is really blind sighted. You may not like signals public stunts, but attacking them for using their weight to lobby against chat control is very divisive. In unity we can be strong, singled out we will get ran over. This is not about xmpp vs signal. This is liberty vs dystopia.

@obsoleszenz @delta Political action is important. I was on the streets protesting against the first data retention (Vorratsdatenspeicherung) laws 20 years ago. However we also need a Plan B. "Leaving Europe" is either an empty threat or not helpful at all to the people living here.
People need to know that they can rely on Jabber/XMPP in general and #Conversations_im in particular to stay around no matter what.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, after all, the way of implementing it hasn't been specified at all. To make sure the malware is even installed they'd either have to force all manufacturers to make it an integral system component or the mobile providers to not let you online unless your device responds to an encrypted ping for the app. Both would let them turn the trojan off explicitly for phones identifying as belonging to something cop-adjacent.
in reply to Bruce Toews

No and no for me. I'm in charge of The Global Voice's account the troll keeps referencing, and am getting fed up with constantly having to block him every time. I know he was active on Twitter before, but I didn't have many problems with him as I do today. The owner of TGV tried to tell him that what he was doing was pathetic during a chat room conversation during her show earlier today, but he just effectively laughed it off.
