@MirSobhan that's a false dichotomy, and one I don't subscribe to. There's always room for a strong moral philosophy, even in a pragmatic position. The problem is when there's no intention of convincing people, but just bludgeoning them to death with shibboleths
A real-life anecdote from today on "convincing" people is that some researchers unaware that #Overleaf is on an #OpenCore model were delighted to hear about the #AGPL 'd branch - source [1] - example instance [2]. I did *not* try to convince anyone - I just pointed out the possibility and gave URLs. And a new (non-public) overleaf instance may be the result!
the FSF sees Free Software as a political goal, KDE sees this moment as an opportunity to grow their userbase. I think both approaches are useful. Pragmatism is good but it's also good that there's someone out there who will accept ZERO compromise.
@yearofthebug I'm not talking about "idealism vs pragmatism": I am talking about leading the conversation when it comes to software freedom. The FSF is not talking to actual people: it's just a circlejerk that is not meant to convince anybody except the already initiated
I agree, I guess I see their role as providers of resources and organization to the already initiated (mostly on the legal side) while leaving to other organization the winning over of new converts.
@yearofthebug that's a great way to become completely useless. I want the FSF to be a leading voice, not the moral justification on the back end of the movement.
A movement who can't bring people in will be useless but a movement without a strong political/teoretical justification will get lost along its way. I think we can observe this in the way "Open Source" has been widely accepted by corporation while "Free Software" has been memoryholed by the mainstream.
@yearofthebug that's just because Open Source has always been a great way for corporations to take advantage of the work of volunteers—something that now it's draining the volunteer pool and led to all the discussions on sustainability of the entire endeavour.
And yes: the free software movement has been impacted by FSF navel gazing, which is precisely what I'm complaining about.
The FSF has long ceased to be a leading voice on user freedom, but that’s fine: there are many organizations doing that work now, in various areas and from different angles, just like the endof10.org example shows.

@NVAccess Hi, can I suggest an article, or maybe a theme for In Process? I've just seen that you changed NVDA's license from GPL2 to GPL2 or later. I've always been curious to know whether you remain satisfied with a Copyleft license up to this day, or you would choose a more permissive license if you could. I'm not sure whether it was Michael or James who choose GPL at NVDA's beginnings, maybe you could do an interview with one of them about this licensing subject as a whole, in which he could for example speculate about negative or positive effects of choosing a more permissive license.
@clv0 Great question, and one I don't have an answer to. We were thinking that the whole exercise of updating the license might be an interesting case study to share in future (and that question might fit in such an analysis) - although I would add that we haven't started planning such an article or anything just yet - though as and when we do, it would definitely be mentioned in our blog (subscribe at nvaccess.org/newsletter ) and almost certainly here as well.
I wonder why I just ... can't use the Zoom website at all on iOS. After going through the cookie consent screen, there are 0 readable controls with VoiceOver. Is Apple trying to hack around some terrible design convention and actually making it more terrible?

ja, schon, aber andererseits, wieso sollte man denn themed icons verwenden? Schlimm genug, dass die jetzt alle die gleiche form haben und ich alle mit halbwegs gleicher Farbe nicht mehr auseinanderhalten kann 😂.
fun fact the federated, open source replacement for FCM #UnifiedPush can also be used with #XMPP as a transport with #Conversations_im as a 'distributor'.
The #UnifiedPush website now has a section for talks, including the one I gave at #Datenspuren in Dresden last month. Presentations and their video recordings are a great way to learn about new topics. Check it out: unifiedpush.org/talks/
The list below shows talks that have covered UnifiedPush. We thank these community members who have taken time and energy to spread the word about UnifiedPush!

@mynoise I’m a weirdo who doesn’t use a smartphone, however I recently purchased a Fiio JM21 MP3 player (which runs Android 13) to use for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and I was hoping the myNoise Android app as well. I can install every other audio player app I want, but for some reason Google Play tells me that myNoise is not compatible with this device. Is there a reason for that or anything that can be done? I love myNoise so this is a little heartbreaking for me.
yeah I’m glad I have that option at least. I just really like the Android app experience and already paid for it when I was using an older tablet, so was wondering why I couldn’t use it on this device which is tailor-built for audio apps and runs a more recent version of Android than the old tablet did.
This is what efficiency looks like at scale: an open server design that speeds up technician workflows and cold aisle containment. They have ventilation grids in the raised floor that deliver cool air straight where it’s needed. The payoff? Reliable & seamless operation for hundreds of thousands of systems, optimal temperatures, and reduced energy consumption.

Is it possible to somehow read just first post of the conversation / threat in TV blue? I know that i can open the conversations buffer, but I see all conversations opened also in home buffer.
Ať už vyvineme jakoukoli technologii, budou zapotřebí byrokratické instituce, které každý algoritmus zkontrolují a buď ho schválí, nebo zamítnou. Tyto instituce budou ve snaze zajišťovat bezpečnost a spravedlnost nových algoritmických systémů využívat schopností lidí i počítačů. I kdybychom přijali zákony, které lidem poskytnou právo na vysvětlení, a schválili předpisy proti zaujatosti počítačů, bez těchto institucí by na dodržování takových pravidel neměl kdo dohlížet.
Ich habe seit längerem mal wieder in mein Tuta-Postfach geschaut und testweise eine meiner Domains eingebunden. Klappt soweit.
Nun wollte ich testweise alle Mails exportieren, der Vorgang bricht allerdings immer bei knapp 1900 exportierten Mails ab. Ich hab es knapp ein Dutzend mal probiert.
Gibt es eine Obergrenze für den Export oder könnte es eine bestimmte Mail sein, die den Fehler auslöst? Wenn letzteres, wie finde ich diese?

I don't know if it was from you but few years ago I've read an interesting article on false assumptions regarding languages (ie. In each culture people have a name and surname, people's name cannot have non letters symbols in theirs, etc...) where this inconsistent lowercase to uppercase matching was listed.
Nově zvolený poslanec Filip Turek se na jaře roku 2017 dostal do hledáčku policie. Turek tehdy vyhrožoval zaměstnanci Velvyslanectví Království Saúdské Arábie.
Tyhle impulzivní primitivy člověk nechce ani za souseda (vyhrožoval někomu, s kým bydlí v domě, aniž by s ním kdy mluvil), natož v parlamentu nebo dokonce ve vládě.
Al contrario que mucha gente del fedi (que tiene buenos argumentos y motivos legítimos) no considero que la IA sea inútil. Pero sí me preocupa toda la atención que está recibiendo por parte de las administraciones. En eso sí que me recuerda a todo el revuelo de blockchain que al final, hasta donde puedo llegar, quedó en nada. Sospecho que la gran mayoría de iniciativas públicas relativas a la IA irán por igual camino.
I made a thing called Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice.
You get regular check-ins via email. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts get notified.
Built it for anyone who might go missing and needs someone to notice: activists, journalists, researchers, solo folks.
I paid for premium hosting (high-reliability VPS in Sweden) and a quality email provider because uptime actually matters for something like this. Also paying extra for minimal data retention (7 days email activity, working toward zero content storage).
Free forever (as long as I'm alive) and open source.
