Speaking of jumping ship, I store all my files in #Microsoft #OneDrive and would like to get rid of that dependency as I'm working to replace my workflow with #FLOSS tools where practical. Do y'all have recommendations for a #CloudStorage service which has reasonably #accessible clients for #ScreenReader users (I primarily use #Fedora Workstation 43 but also use #Windows 11, #Android, and #iOS), can sync to my local filesystem, and/or can appear in the #GNOME desktop File Manager? I'm not interested in self-hosting something like #Nextcloud, #OwnCloud, etc. Any suggestions or firsthand experiences would be greatly appreciated.
@draeandgithub.com/nextcloud/desktop/iโฆ tbh this says all, and yes the GUI has a bunch of unlabeled buttons as well. I tried using it several times in the past, but, meh. The only thing I was really ok with was the web interface.
Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...
@jonathan859 @draeand Well, that's frustrating beyond belief because I do need working Windows support. My primary platform is now Fedora, but all the Braille and Music Braille production software as well as my embosser's drivers are Windows-only. If I can't get to my files on Windows, that's not an option for me.
Here are recordings of two time and temperature lines. The first is in Lafayette, Tennessee, 615-666-8463. The second is in Louisville, Kentucky, 502-585-5961. One of these needs serious help, as it has for several months. In this cold weather, I'll leave it up to you to guess which one is in serious need of adjustment.
We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:
"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."
"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. Theyโre also proposing the collection of DNA."
PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:
-All visitors must submit โtheir social media from the last 5 yearsโ
-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include โhigh value data fieldsโ, โwhen feasibleโ โtelephone numbers used in the last five yearsโ -โemail addresses used in the last ten yearsโ -โfamily number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five yearsโ -biometrics โ face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris -business telephone numbers used in the last five years -business email addresses used in the last ten years.

We are planning another #curl distro meeting this year, after the previous years' successful and productive gatherings.
It is a video meeting with peeps from the curl project meeting and talking with curl maintainers from "distros" shipping curl. And we don't specify what a distro is - as everyone is welcome.
This is very much work in progress - if you have ideas and proposals for agenda items, add them!
Hi, completely new to Mastadon but looking forward to meeting new friends with musical interests. I live in England, have a great pro acoustic treated home studio that despite a smattering of guitars is predominantly set up with hardware analog fixed architecture and modular synths. My music is instrumental melodic with strong classical influences from my time as a clarinetist and pianist.
Oh boy, Tesla earnings Wednesday. Canโt wait for another round of โTesla announces decline in worldwide sales, product rollout delays, Cybertruck voted worst car since Edsel, Optimus goes on killing rampage in limited trial, stock up 15%โ
Things I have learned to do to a guitar either via an instructor or sheet music:
Golpe: tapping the soundboard with your fingernail Slap harmonic: Literally hammering the 12th fret with your picking hand Bending the neck forward or backward Scraping the string lengthwise Capirote: flicking the edge of the sound hole Rapping the soundboard or side with a knuckle
Theyโre like, here is your precious musical instrument, now go beat the shit out of it
Hello @MewProjects. Continuing from earlier, just for laughs, tried to load an xm file and got this.
--------------------------- FastPlay --------------------------- Cannot play file: stranglehold.xm
Unsupported file format. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I know your intention isn't/wasn't to make this a foobar or winamp replacement, but damn, I could almost use this cute little thing as one! Plugin support would be hard, though. meep!
@cordova5029 No no. get it right. that track's called "It's over". haha. But dude. Seriously. If you could easily implement winamp plugin or foobar plugin support... game over.
@BorrisInABox @cordova5029 I love messing with the play rate, and slightly increasing the speed. It sounds really cool, especially with old classic country.
The internet connection here has been somewhat flaky the last couple of days, possibly weather-related, so I've been pretty much exclusively using AT&T mobile data, as it's more reliable than the fiber ISP. Go figure.
With two bars of signal, I'm getting around 450 Mb/sec down, anywhere between 7 and 22 Mb/sec up.
Tonight, I connected my iPhone 16 Pro to one of the USB-C ports of my Mac to use my phone as a wired hotspot, and I noticed lots of jitter, packet loss, and very high latency that I wasn't seeing either on the device itself, or when using it as a WiFi hotspot. I'd think a direct connection would be better, but apparently not.
Good morning. Starting my trip to #FOSDEM at this ungodly hour. Local traffic to Helsinki Central, train to Turku, ship to Stockholm, night train to Malmรถ, and so on. Will stay a couple of nights on the way in a city where I havenโt been before: Dรผsseldorf, and from there take a bus to Brussels because of the Belgian train strike this week. Or, if the ICE trains from Cologne to Brussels seem to be running reliably anyway, go by train. Using #Interrail .
It is pretty annoying to spend time formatting code with a screen reader. I switched to automatic code formatters and stopped thinking about it. There is one for basically every popular language: Black for Python, clang-format for C and C++, swift-format for Swift, Prettier for JS, etc. For example, you just run `swift-format -rip .` before commiting, or I think you can even make Git do it for you via setting up a pre-commit hook. I think it's an easy quality of life upgrade! lol

Avoid forcing users to memorize information. For example, use field labels instead of placeholder text. Placeholder text disappears when users begin typing. This forces them to memorize placeholder text or delete information so they can see placeholders again.

Is anyone on here a Black birth worker or know one?
For my research, I am seeking to interview as many Black midwives (and other Blk birth workers, but midwifery is the central focus) as possible and get connected to birthing centers employing Black birth workers, esp. in the US South.
If you are/someone you know is interested, pls DM me! Thanks for reading!
Ok so hey #Canada #GenX especially people from #Winnipeg who spent time in Eaton Place downtown in the early 80s, because that is the specific instance of what I'm certain was in many government offices and such.
Ok. It is maybe 1980 I'm late single digits and I go downtown with my gramma a lot, and we spend a fair amount of time in Eaton Place, her doing whatever she did, and me doing a circuit of Petland, a record store on the second floor, the arcade, and near the North entrance of the South building, there was a government office of some kind.
In that government office, there was a computer. Not one that #retro heads would recognize, it was large, did simple colour graphics, and had a weird nonstandard keyboard about the size of a gigantic TV remote, on a curly cable. Possibly some sort of Unix thing and I think it was networked, presumably on the Internet.
It mostly did very boring stuff and I was just a kid, I didn't care about whatever its main functions were, but I had learned that if I entered f518, there was a graphical mystery house game of some kind.
I remember that office had a fair amount of techy stuff, like, there was a kind of pushbutton video jukebox where you could watch various promotional videos, I remember one of the things it played was a Folklorama ad with the "la-lalala-la-lalalaaa" earworm, which my older California chick cousin and I laughed at one summer day that we were all downtown.
I would really love to find out what was the deal with that computer system, though.

Great article, I agree with all of this. I worry about older people especially, my mom is a good example of this, who rely too much on LLMs to get information or conduct research. At the same time, they definitely have their uses, but I'm sick and tired of the hype. These things are not magic boxes, they are not some new species. They can do amazing things absolutely, but they're not the be all end all solution.
Pretty stoked that the feds completely misunderstand actual Americans. They especially miscalculated the willingness of white folk to stand up for marginalized members of our communities.
As with any group, we are not a monolith. They assumed it would be so and that was a bad assumption on their part.

I would not be here except for the countless hours spent at my bedside as I grew up in and out of hospitals. They noticed infection when others missed it. They would sit in my room as I laid awake in pain as they charted. There is nothing or no way I can say thank you to my unsung heroes, my nurses, who worked with my doctors to heal me and save my leg from amputation. Think about nurses that have blessed you. Thank you nurses!
So, I'm now on Delta Chat and very curious to try it out. I actually read the entire help file and it's got me thinking about how nice it is to have an E2E messaging option that's fairly straightforward unlike Matrix, Session and SimpleX. All 3 of those have some technical hurdle you have to jump over while it feels like Delta Chat (going to continue assuming it's 2 words until someone corrects me) is a breath of fresh air. That was a rather frictionless sign-up process, while Signal demands you fork over your phone number. If you would like to say hello, just send me a direct message to start the process and I'll invite you to chat with me. #Privacy #E2EMessaging #deltaChat
A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed. archive.is/2026.01.26-040554/tโฆ
These people are fucking sadistic disgusting pieces of shit. They seriously need to be held accountable, I really hope we can get these goons out of here ASAP.
I really think what happened this weekend will be a turning point, they went too far this time, and I really want people to just say "enough is enough" and end this shit.
Again, stupid question time, sorry. Gemini has the --screen-reader switch which seems to remove the symbols announcing themselves as "box drawings". Open-codex doesn't let me do this. I want these symbols gone. the punctuation setting doesn't seem to change the situation at all. Does anyone know the way to get rid of these? I'm using windows ten powershell 5.1. I have tried CMD without any change. I am happy to upgrade powershell if it will do anything, I am also happy to get WSL 2 running if that will help, or set something up over SSH. I just want to know if any of these will kill these symbols.
I'm not saying the Trump administration is turning the US into a dystopian hellscape, but when the local newspaper needs to help you identify what toxic gas Federal agents are unleashing on citizens, I think it speaks for itself.
"Neil Young Trashes Amazon, Gives His Complete Musical Catalog to Greenland for Free "Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president," Young writes to fans. "My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos""
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall, -- only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judgeโs permission to share records that show how the feds respond when โtheir agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.โ
#Marimar #Martinezโs lawyer argued Monday that top Trump administration officials continue to smear her name, and that the White Houseโs false narrative about her arrest has even seeped into writings by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
All the while, a standard court order bars Martinez from sharing records in her case.
Designed to protect against the improper disclosure of evidence, attorney Chris Parente says the order has instead become โa prophylactic to countering a pernicious misinformation campaign mounted by the United States.โ
โThey are forcing the public, and Supreme Court justices, to have to rely solely on the governmentโs inaccurate version of events,โ Parente wrote.
โThis court has the power to shed light on the truth of what happened on October 4.โ
Marimar Martinez is blocked from releasing evidence in her case by what's known as a "protective order." Though standard, her attorney says it's โbecome an albatrossโ around her neck and โkeeps the entire country in the dark."
