Here's the complete timeline of events. From my first denial to travel to the US until I eventually received a tourist visa. And then I can't go anyway. December 5-11, 2016 I spent a week on Hawaii with Mozilla - my employer at the time.daniel.haxx.se
After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.
I wrote about these feelings. Join me in building a better future:

Re: last boost (mastodon.stickbear.me/@evilcoo…), first a little context especially for my sighted followers: As I understand it, that post is particularly about apps that, while technically accessible to blind people, aren't as pleasant to use with a screen reader as they could be. Yes, it's often necessary to deal with such apps to some degree. But, especially within the blind community, we shouldn't criticize each other for having limited tolerance for such things and choosing accordingly.
I'm just going to put this out there because I know I'm going to have more than one person. Ask. When you ask me why I don't use such and such app, and I tell you it's because it's messy, that's perfectly valid. I shouldn't have to swipe through seven controls just to get from post to post. Also, please don't tell me it's not a big deal. When I'm frustrated with something that doesn't work and you come back with. It's not a big deal, that makes me feel invalid. I don't like it. What might not be a big deal for you? Might piss me off to no end. Don't do that. It's not cool.
Absolutely right. It is particularly painful reading posts from apologists of apps like Discord and Steam because they're quote "better than they used to be" unquote (which in the case of Steam was unusable).
When legitimate accessibility work has gone into improving a thing, it should be acknowledged and supported while not equating progress with perfection. Accepting accessibility scraps is not a positive thing.

I'm not getting the sense that things are improving.
I don't use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don't trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don't want to reveal a real phone number because I don't want ads from nobody.
I don't need to see my parent's faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
"In the budget speech this year, commission president Ursula von der Leyen made a bold statement that AI is expected to approach human reasoning by next year."
Die Nächste, nach (bzw. vor) Wildberger.
"Surprised by this statement, I asked the commission to provide me with documents .."
"The commission’s response was not filled with references to the scientific literature. Instead, the Commission referred to the essays and books by tech CEOs."
Unglaublich.

If you need to troubleshoot your UnifiedPush setup on Linux, there is now a small app for this on Flathub.
You can check whether your push service is correctly visible, whether you can interact with it correctly, and whether it is receiving push notifications.
Might provide a link? Can't find it if I'm searching for "Unified Push"

From a presentation of an AI tool:
"It can perform LDAP queries for you!"
"Can I trust the results?"
"Well, not really. It's like asking a human; you should always verify the results yourself to be 100% sure."
Okay, instead of running the query myself, I'll wait for the AI tool to run it and then run it myself to make sure it's correct.
Next week, we should receive a survey asking how much time it saves us. I wonder what everyone's answer will be. 🤔

I know that's not what you're asking for, but might be worth knowing.
