@archos Unity nahradil tuším už někdy v roce 2016-2017 GNOME. Přijde mi, že jsem snad poslední člověk na planetě, kterému se ten vzhled líbí 😅. Vypadá to jako elegantnější verze macOS, který jsem si v posledních měsících taky dost oblíbil
Výhoda Linuxu, každému sedí něco jiného a má možnost si vybrat. Já někdy v tom roce 2016 zkusil Manjaro, protože jsem koupil notebook Lenovo a byla to snad jediná distribuce, ve které fungovala WiFi a postupně přešel na Arch a zde už jsem několik let 🙂
"All of us, regardless of background, should be horrified by genocide, as much as we would be of other facts that we don’t shut down discourse on through self-indulgent projections of innocence, like the world being round despite the fact that some insist is not so. We should all be enraged."
I work in professional fact-checking and content moderation for my day job at meedan.com and I have begun conversations about ways to do content moderation as a federated service that admins can pay to subscribe to (where moderators are paid a living wage, maybe in worker owned coops even, as opposed to big social media companies using basically sweatshop moderation labor)
Someone should set up a third-party tool that mastodon/fediverse users can report abuse to. It should be staffed by people who are skilled at evaluating this stuff and who are paid to do it.
"Yesterday, I came across a somber tweet by a man who’s trying to protect his family from Covid. He said, “my wife has been speaking with the principal of my children’s elementary school and that he has been advising her to file for divorce because I was clearly not well and ‘my life revolves around fear.’”
Yes, a principal is telling someone’s wife to divorce him because he wants to protect them from a deadly, disabling virus.
"Companies are also starting to pressure their employees to get therapy “to conquer their fear of Covid.”
There’s a line from the film The Big Short that echoes through my head these days. The investor Michael Burry says, “I may have been early, but I’m not wrong.” There’s a lot of us who feel like that right now. A majority of the world thinks we’re crazy. In reality, we’re not crazy at all.
"Over the last few months, there’s been an avalanche of studies telling us that Covid poses a major threat to our health, our lives, and our sanity. The biggest risk now comes in the weeks and months after we recover. Our politicians and media have done a poor job communicating this threat. Instead, they’re doing their best to manipulate information to protect their own political interests. The public has bought into these lies. They want to believe they can return to normal.
There’s no permanent immunity from this virus. Each time we catch it, this virus attacks our hearts and minds. It weakens us. It tries to kill us. It imprints on us, so a future variant has a better shot next time.
1. You can catch Covid multiple times. 2. Reinfections are common, not rare. 3. Breakthrough infections are common. 4. Covid can kill you months after you recover. 5. It can cause brain damage. 6. It can cause blood clots and heart attacks. 7. It doesn’t spare children. 8. Vaccines help, but only some. 9. Masks work. jessicawildfire.substack.com/p…
"Everyone should know about these studies. I’ve linked to the original articles. I’ve tried to summarize them in clear language. I’ve also linked to summaries written by journalists who still care about the truth.
Last winter, the media made a concerted effort to convince Americans that Covid had become mild. They said catching Omicron would protect us from future variants, and that we could ditch our masks. Newspapers were filled with op-eds basically telling us to go out and shop, celebrate, and get infected. They blanketed the internet with stories about the “relief” people felt catching Covid.
There was no evidence to support any of these myths, just arrogant assertions from the same handful of pundits. The actual studies tell the truth. You don’t want to catch Covid once. You certainly don’t want to catch it multiple times. We should be getting boosted. We should be wearing masks.
@fireborn It is on github, not lab. I have moved more towards github recently because gitlab’s accessibility has gone down hill, and you can’t read thei readme file for projects without javascript, so no w3m. Github still works decently well with w3m.
@fireborn Which mod key did you pick? If super, to switch between windows would be super+tab and super+shift+tab. Should I make it be alt+tab and alt+shift+tab no matter which mod key you choose?
@fireborn I will add the volume stuff sometime today. I’ll have to think about how to change things to not include a ratpoison mode, so I may not get to that today, but I’ll certainly keep it in mind.
@fireborn Volume keys are in place now, as well as other music bindings. At this time, they are part of ratpoison mode, but I will add an alternative soon. For now, however, the keys are as follows:
Never mind Codeberg, I just got my own Gitea up and running. I will ask the developers if they could implement a math captcha similar to the one on my Blog's comment form, but I'll keep the image crap turned off and deal with any bots manually until they have a solution. I know bots can get around those images easier than screen reader users can. But I have zero comment spam on my blog since I moved to Chyrp Lite and turned on the Maptcha plugin, and it is screen reader friendly. If I find that the Codeberg version works better or implements a math captcha similar to the one I have on my blog, I should have no trouble migrating to their fork. I don't know that my server will handle a sizeable number of large projects, but I certainly can take some small to medium projects. And you'll be happy to know that I have migrated a repository off Gitlab already, and I can see README.md with w3m. I find general accessibility on Gitea to be a good deal better than Gitlab as well.
@kyle that looks neat. I like sourcehut pretty well too, but this is a shared project, so it was either gitlab or github, and github is better these days. I know that sucks, because open source is always better, but they really have wrecked their accessibility, and javascript required to read a simple text file is just plain dumb.
@fireborn We are merging the key conflict detection. I sent you a reply on github. Basically, for things that present dialogs, use yad instead of zenity. Also for short things like battery info, you could just make a key binding and speak the information with speech-dispatcher instead of using a text box.
@fireborn I updated the battery status script just a bit so that it doesn't rely on ls which can be different on different systems. I also did some string manipulation so it would read "Battery 0:" instead of "BAT0".
If you have time, take a look at it and tell me what you think.
@fireborn lol I was way over thinking the ratpoisonless configuration. Once I realized it would actually be simple, it took me about 10 minutes to write. Then I spent about 35 more minutes tracking down a really obvious bug in the yesno dialogs.
@fireborn when you do pull requests, can you create a different branch for each one, and only request one thing per branch? The last batch has some tangles with things that are already in master, and basically we are adding in things manually because it's easier this way. With single pulls per branch, it should make it much easier to do this in the future.
If your instance is blocking an instance with folks you'd like to still read, you can add any Mastodon account to your feed reader (I like NetNewsWire myself) by using the following formula:
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him

You may want to block the @federatedfandom.net instance. I was mildly critical of a book's run-on sentence; the instance's owner showed up on twitter to be, well, this.
@brainblasted I suspect it's deliberately unreadable to make some sort of point? (I don't know the book, so I'm guessing.) But yes, either way, it's unreadable.

"Regardless of what accessibility conformance level you target, do not arbitrarily open links in a new window or tab. If you are required to do so anyway, inform users in visible text." adrianroselli.com/2020/02/link… via @aardrian #UIDesign #IXD #a11y #links #wcag #tips
TL;DR: Regardless of what accessibility conformance level you target, do not arbitrarily open links in a new window or tab. If you are required to do so anyway, inform users in visible text.
What's your opinion on doing this for web apps like Gmail, Twitter, Mastodon, etc.? In these cases, I tend to think of the app as a semi-permanent thing with its own context, not a transient thing that I return to with the back button. Pressing enter on a link and having it effectively replace my email/social media app seems super counter-intuitive to me. The exceptions don't quite cover that.
Does anyone know any instance directories which have safety requirements for being listed?
So, for example, JoinMastodon has the covenant at joinmastodon.org/covenant, are there any other instance directories which have similar (or better) rules?

"We don’t yet know what an Internet with less virality would look like, or whether it would be as compelling as what came before. But it is heartening, after watching Musk’s erratic Twitter despotism, to imagine community-driven spaces that are only as good as the hosts who moderate them and the people they attract. Perhaps we are undergoing a collective period of relearning what we need and want from our digital lives."

Totally tooting my own Horn Bet, but if anyone enjoys the game of #Craps, I coded an #accessible version of it with #Python called Oh Craps! along with the 3 other casino mother games that can be played in #Terminal or your command line of choice. Couldn't find any accurate nor accessible casino games out there so I just built my own! I also created and maintain a compendium of Craps strategies for fellow #Dice nerds: marconius.com/craps
I wrote some useful utility for DOS in 1997 and distributed it via bulletin board. It was TeaspoonWare, which I made up. The license said if you like this please mail me a teaspoon because I lose them and mum gets mad. Every so often, we’d get a teaspoon in the mail without explanation. Drove mum insane.
I've been trying to get together a community-driven computer history journal. I'm looking for authors and editors, and was thinking some of you might be interested in contributing:
The fruits of academic research mostly take the form of articles that are published in specialised journals. The majority of these journals are owned by a small number of commercial publishers, who benefit from public money to achieve record profits.

"The latest change would mean all documents required or permitted to be signed under the Corporations Act of 2001 can be signed in a “technology neutral” way. Notices currently required to be published in newspapers would instead need to be published in a way that is “publicly available and reasonably prominent”."
More of the temporary changes introduced during the pandemic to allow businesses and regulators to use electronic signatures and hold virtual meetings will be made permanent under legislation introduced to Parliament on Wednesday.

@fireborn do you mean the image? That was auto generated by mastodon from the link, I don't have any way to add alt text to that (or don't know how, since I didn't even see it until I published it)
@fireborn what accessibility stuff are you thinking? I'm not very familiar, but I though accessibility features are normal way up the stack from firmware.
