If you use Twitch for any kind of streaming, this resource by Liz Wait can help you make your Twitch channel more accessible to people with disabilities.
SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars.

These cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people and follow them. Flock left the admin panels for these cameras exposed, where people could download 30 days of footage, change settings, delete things. We found them at playgrounds, bike paths, parking lots, street fairs:
I've recently returned to using Mutt to manage most of my incoming mail, especially the various mailing lists to which I subscribe. Major reasons for this include (1) its comprehensive set of keyboard commands; (2) the option to control sort order in detail, including threads (in my case, oldest message first); (3) focus handling, e.g., placed automatically on the first unread message; and (4) support for using your preferred text editor to write messages. The main disadvantage is that HTML messages aren't presented as well as they would be in a client based on a Web browser engine. However, most of the HTML-only messages I receive are advertising anyway, i.e., the lowest priority mail that I often don't read. #email #mutt #Linux
Have you ever tried Aerc? Also, what screen reader are you using with Mutt? In the case of Fenrir, as far as I have tried, you cannot be that productive when switching between the message list and the message content reader. Aerc seems better, as you can use w3m to read messages, and the arrow keys work the same as in a text editor.
@clv1 I am yet to try erc. Mutt works well with Orca in a terminal. I have enabled the braille_friendly option, which automatically places the cursor on the first line of body text when reading a message. I can then simply use flat review to read.
@pixelate There's a real advantage in using a graphical (e.g., Wayland) terminal for this: enabling links to be loaded in Chromium, Firefox, or whatever your preferred modern browser is. At least for my use cases, the era of text-based browsers ended a long time ago.
Wow, Mutt must be *really* configurable then. Goodness one of these days I want that. Thunderbird and Orca are nice, but sometimes the HTML stuff gets Orca a tad dislocated.
A late and final Very Special Episode of Other People's Music is here. This FINAL installment of 2025 (yeah, I'm taking Xmas off) is a look back at what it was like to review 250 independent music releases this year, including a look at a few I kept coming back to
The other day I took a massive step into the kitchen over a doorstep that's no longer there, and just now I turned on the wrong light because that gang switch used to have a different order.
As these both of these things changed in spring 2024, I can only assume my mind is refusing to believe it's nearly 2026 and is trying to return to a time when things were marginally less awful.
When the European Commission approached us about funding a bug bounty for BIND 9, we were impressed with the proposal. We have a policy against bug bounties (because we were frustrated with people wasting our time), but under this proposal, the YesWeHack team would do initial triage, and use their expertise to minimize the 'slop' reports. This is a game-changer for a small development team.
The bounty program is active, and we are looking for our first valid report.
@oneloop good point. But if I would run a program like this, I would feel obliged to inspect the entire feed every once in a while to determine how it goes. As I said, the traging is difficult work and I wouldn't trust an outside team to do 100% until proven.
I just gave Codex an explicit instruction to perform a web search, without actually enabling the web search feature itself (I have it configured with full network access enabled).
It just started hitting random search engine APIs via Curl (it gave up with DuckDuckGo, but tried Jina.ai and that worked).
Some laggy, oversized weird Dell Laptop for school (around 2018). Eventually I got frustrated and kinda smacked it on the table. The screen didn't like that.
Pirate activist group Anna's Archive says it scraped 86M music files and 256M rows of track metadata from Spotify, and releases them in ~300TB of torrent files (Mitchell Peters/Billboard)
Am I being stupid, or is there an easier way to get VO and TDSR to play nice together? I tried using activities to mute speech but this would mean that I’d miss notifications, wouldn't be able to use menus in terminal etc, or, what I've currently been doing, using rtrackpad commander to mute speech manually while I'm in terminal; same issue. Any help appreciated.
Broadband ISP and mobile operator EE (BT) has recently begun to inform existing customers on their Pay As You Go (PAYG) mobile plans that both they and
My mum used to wash my hair as a child by getting me to kneel on a chair and washing it over the sink. I had my first proper "grown up" hair appointment at 11 years old and guess what I did when the stylist asked me to come to the sink? I could die inside when I remember.
🆘 Masto, j'ai besoin de ta magie. Mon mari est gros (130-140 kg) et on cherche une chaise de bureau RÉSISTANTE quitte à mettre le prix. Vous savez où on peut trouver ça ? Le repouet assomme un grossophobe #mastohelp
Bonjour, ici un gros mec (à peu près le même poids, même un peu plus). Quel est votre budget ? J'ai choisi une chaise y a longtemps mais j'en ai pris deux à l'occasion du Black Friday.
@Tutanota iOS app - is it new that when I mark my emails and click "move" then the folders are suddenly presented in reverse order? Previously the "Inbox" was first and then it was my custom folders below. Now all my custom folders appear on top and in reverse order. It's kinda annoying, can you please make it like it used to be? Make the order just like it appears in the sidebar. Thanks

Я знаю что я дурачок наверное, но чета мне так хочется сделать многопользовательскую онлайн игру с квестами, гриндом, всякими штуками и механиками, с лутом, и конечно с циферками (в которых я правда ничего не смыслю).
Пока-что в планах сделать что-то вроде #webfishing но с фермерством, но у меня этот проект в голове как то не укладывается и не представляется особо.
Вы больше похожи не на дурачка, а на героя. Потому что у меня когда-то тоже были такие идеи, но я понял, что я не потяну. Причём я всего лишь хотел сделать онлайн-дурака (извините, pun not intended), в смысле, карточную игру, доступную для всех. Но понял, что по крайней мере пока нет.
La carte Fluo jeune (moins de 26 ans) passera de 1€ à 10€ (« 1000% de hausse »).
La carte Fluo adulte passera de 20€ à 30€ (50% de hausse) dès le 1er janvier prochain.
Si votre carte Fluo Adulte échoit d'ici au 31 mars 2026, et que vous envisagez de la renouveler, nous vous engageons à la renouveler d'ici la fin décembre 2025 pour profiter de l'ancien tarif. Vous gagnerez 10€.
Pour la Carte Fluo jeunes, quelle que soit l'échéance de votre carte en 2026, l'investissement est instantanément rentable... elle sera valable jusqu'au 30 mars 2027 à 1€ ! #Strasbourg
If you get the chance to visit Strasbourg, the European Parliament is quite a thing. This kind of weather really makes for some nice pictures! #photography #strasbourg #europeanparliament
Interesting finding: most of the custom 2FA input forms (you know those with single digit input fields) *do not* work on slow internet. Likely because they require some JS bundle that does not download properly or takes forever. Solution: just use a regular single input field, folks! #accessibility #a11y #openweb #webdev #javascript #2fa #login #web #ux #usability #ui
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.
I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.
But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!
For those looking for a covid/flu vaccine around #39c3 bcrt at the globetrotter(.de) shop in hamburg north gives out shots, about 20-30 per shot. I paid 49 for covid+flu, also for non-germans.
(They do ask for your details, no idcard or details needed)
Question for the maybe five other people in the world who can answer this kind of question about platform accessibility APIs: Is it worth it to include an alpha channel in a color struct for a cross-platform accessibility API? Does any platform accessibility API actually support this, and does any AT actually do something useful with it?
Seems that IAccessible2 supports alpha, but optionally, and I don't think there's a single screen reader that does anything with this info, at least. Maybe some sort of screen magnifier, but I have no idea how those work. typedef long IA2Color A value specifying a color in ARGB format, where each 8 bit color component specifies alpha, red, green, and blue respectively. The alpha value is optional. accessibility.linuxfoundation.…. Pretty sure UIA just leaves the high byte of their long unused, but I could be wrong there. This isn't a complete answer and you probably already knew all of this, but figured I'd pass it along just in case.
I do think it might make sense for AccessKit to implement IA2 at some point. For Servo to be practically accessible on Windows, for example, it might be useful to have a bug-for-bug-compatible emulation of Chromium's IA2 implementation, so NVDA and JAWS's existing virtual buffers will work.
Just for the record, Chromium implemented most of its IA2 support based on what Firefox did. Gecko was the first on Window, and Chromium copied what Gecko implemented, so they would be compatible with JAWS and NVDA sooner. All the UIA stuff in Chromium only came into play once Microsoft started using it for Edge as well.
AT-SPI has GetAlpha (it has been there since before my time), but I don't know if any Linux ATs use it for anything. I took a quick look at Orca, and it doesn't appear to call it.
My screen reader just spoke the following text: Make 2026 the year you sound like a pro level slider. yes, I'll definitely be doing that. Amateur level sliders are just terrible, and they suck.
of course, this was an email with the level slider emoji, 🎚️ right after the word pro.
If I wanted to be on a "better" Twitter after the Musk takeover, I would open a BlueSky account. It delivers the same centralised, algorithm driven experience that divides in overhyped influencers and mere click fodder users, just the way all centralised "social" networks are designed to be.
And that's why I am NOT on BlueSky but here on the Fediverse. The Fediverse isn't a better X, Facebook, Instagram. It's the Fediverse. People to people. Embrace the principle and you will be happy here!
The @TetraLogical team has gathered (online) for a day of retrospectives, updates, and opportunities to continue innovating what we do and the services we offer, plus a Christmas quiz to wrap it all up.
There might also be a selection of Christmas hats on display, and there's a rumour going around that my hat might not be black! 😊
Morning All, I know this is a small thing, but very frustrating. When someone tells you to be ready by a certain time and you are still waiting at least half an hour later! Thank goodness I’ve got great radio to keep me company. Hope you all have a great day.
@FreakyFwoof Or the sighted people that never make plans and say they'll just sort it out on the day and not to stress. Sorry love but I need to order different modes of transport in advance depending on the time you'll be there and where you want to meet me.
