Hey @yatil - I came across your #accessibility in the #fediverse post: yatil.net/blog/accessibility-i…
I'm currently working on a #chess game that can be played over Mastodon, and I'm keen for it to be as good an experience as it can be for everyone. I've done some research, have a prototype, and now I feel like I can start talking to users...
Would you be willing to offer your thoughts, and could you recommend a few people I could email or chat to?
Many people think about moving or at least establishing a presence in the so-called Fediverse. The Fediverse is (and this is probably a very shortened and incorrect) a collection of distributed web applications that can talk to each other.Eric Eggert

for folks who don't know, google specifically has like, the Most Advanced C++ Bug Catching/Mitigation Tools, to the point that they *took over the development of clang*
just using rust instead, even with 'unsafe' parts, completely blew all of that out of the water! holy shit!

Tusky 20.0 (a Mastodon client for Android) is out! It's live on Google Play + F-Droid now.
I helped with this release:
- I added (with help) a "focus" dialog that lets you set the focus point on an image attachment, like the web client has
- If you're logged in on more than one account it now shows your account name in the title bar. I didn't do that. I added a preference to turn it off since it's personally not useful to me… ^_^

Gerade wenn jetzt vor Weihnachten wieder ein #Smartphone unter dem Bäumchen landet, ein Hinweis: Antiviren-Scanner-Apps auf #Android und #iOS benötigt ihr nicht. Diesen nutzlosen Hokus-Pokus kann man sich sparen - am Ende wiegt man sich nur in falsche #Sicherheit, obwohl diese Apps systembedingt (Sandbox und Co.) kaum etwas leisten. Im Gegenteil: Diese vermeintlichen Sicherheits-Apps sind meist vollgestopft mit #Trackern. Mehr Infos und wie man idealerweise vorgeht 👇

This time, they've taken their server offline to "fix vulnerabilities affecting service stability and user security".
As it turns out what happened is that there's a vulnerability that straight up allows a malicious actor to edit another person's posts, among other things.

49-Euro-Ticket verzögert sich: Langsam wird es peinlich | tagesschau.de
Das 49-Euro-Ticket wäre ein Meilenstein in der Verkehrspolitik und eine finanzielle Entlastung für viele. Dass sich die Umsetzung jetzt verzögert, ist ärgerlich, meint Torben Ostermann. Das Vorhaben droht zum Rohrkrepierer zu werden.
Vielleicht sollte jemand mal die FDP informieren, dass Siemens auch Züge und Mercedes Busse baut? 🤔 OK, nix für Porsche & Co dabei… Obwohl: Wenn die halbe Republik in den Öffis sitzt, ist doch die Straße wieder frei?
Aber wie Du schreibst, es ist nicht gewollt. Wenn man wollte, hätte man schon längst ein 29€ Ticket (ging mit dem 9€ Ticket ja auch recht schnell). Das benötigte Kleingeld könnte man einfach von der Kohle-Subvention abzweigen, "kein Geld" ist auch nur ein Vorwand.
My boyfriend (@crispy) says that he wishes there's a way to use Mastodon when he can't type much because of #OCD. He says that's why he prefers Twitter Spaces, because he can use his voice.
Perhaps #Mastodon would do well to add a voice post option?
He doesn't like dictation because it's slow and doesn't work properly. The built-in dictation at least.

Small Web sites will require JavaScript to sign in.
Why?
To protect your privacy.
We use public-key authentication (which I’m implementing as we speak) so your secret is never stored on the server and you only enter it in places you own and control.
(I can already see some folks up in arms about this because JavaScript Bad™ so I just checked in the initial copy for the page that gets displayed if JavaScript is off.)

Yupp, once more: Ad-tech destroyed the web. If it weren't for them, the world would be a much better place!
* Web traffic down to 10% (no bloated elements, no bloated ads, no tracking scripts)
* Mail traffic down (same reasons plus no spam at all)
* required computing resources down to below 50% (no tracker-blocker needed, no spam filters)
* power consumption down (especially those ad panels!)
* …
When we say "hyper-capitalism destroyed the world", this is true on so many levels…
