The Office of Management and Budget should review its strategic plan for improving management of #Section508. #OMB’s current strategic plan was released in 2013 and should be reviewed using current information and compliance data.
I have been very sick for almost 4 weeks...now that I'm *finally* feeling a bit better, I've lost my sense of taste and smell and can't enjoy any of the yummy holiday treats. Seriously, olives taste like socks 🫤

Co je Bitwarden Bitwarden je všestranný správce hesel s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem, který může být použit nejen jednotlivci k ukládání jejich kritických a důležitých informací, ale také jej mohou na…
@medvidekpu @archos Vyhodnotit riziko, jestli o data přijdu kvůli špatnému zabezpečení cloudového správce hesel, kde se mu věnují profesionálové 24/7, ale také i útočníci, vs. Kvůli nějaké mé laické chybě u lokálního správce hesel, kde jsem však všem hackerům ukradený, je složité. Ale je fakt, že když už jsem teda trochu IT gramotný a vím, co je to backup, tak bych na ty cloudy tak spoléhat nemusel. Bije se to s leností.
@medvidekpu Jak se u Keepass řeší synchronizace z desktopu na mobil? Na netu vidím šílenosti typu uložená hesla na Dropboxu nebo GDrive, takže jsem reálně zase u hesel v cloudu. @archos @pavel
@OliKockova Já několik let používal unixového správce hesel pass passwordstore.org ale tam bych nedostal rodinu Tak vyhrál Bitwarden /@michal@spondr.cz @medvidekpu @pavel
@archos @medvidekpu Rodinu neřeším 😁 password managery mám dva - KeePass s offline daty a logon scripty do firemních SAP serverů - a Bitwarden s online daty a hesly na webovky.
The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 23 - Poland (try it yourself)
So Apple did flip the switch at last and today's window is ready for all of you to try out. Zuzanka is an app made by Zatoichi, a Warsaw-based startup with one of my blind friends as a tester and head consultant. It reads out the expiry dates on products so it's perfect to run through everything in your fridge before Christmas to see whether your supplies are still safe to be consumed. Once you start it, it will beep continuously to tell you it is ready. Then, once something that it may consider to be a date is found in the camera, it will start beeping faster until it finally recognizes and speaks the date outloud. There is a handy tutorial added telling you where expiry dates are commonly found on different products. The app gives you a 24-hour trial period and a handful of subscription options which I believe should be affordable. There is a lifetime license option too capped at around 30 €. The AI models for this app have been predominantly trained on products found in Polish supermarkets and I was successful using it on a pack of German Balsen chocolate biscuits so it is interesting to see whether this could work in other countries. apps.apple.com/pl/app/zuzanka/… #Accessibility #Blind #AdventCalendar #Poland #Mobile #Startup #Shopping
Zuzanka is the world's first expiry date scanner. The app makes it easy to locate expiration dates on food products, converts them to text format and allows export to other applications.
The accessibility for the blind advent calendar: day 22 - Czech Republic
I did not manage to post the window for yesterday, so it's double act time today. All good things come in threes and as it happens, one of the things I did yesterday was taking part in the Clubhouse meeting of the Czech blind community where 2022 was summed up and different good things that happened in terms of assistive technology were named. One of the solutions somebody pointed out was the ability to operate an ATM using the banking app of Ceska Sporitelna, one of the leading Czech banks. Developed with the Covid pandemic in mind, the feature happened to also benefit blind users. The way it works is, every ATM supporting the feature displays a QR code on its screen by default. The user scans it using the dedicated feature in the Sporitelna app, confirms whether the ATM number detected is the same as the one written on the machine itself and once the connection is made, all of the operation: defining the amount of money to be withdrawn, confirmation, authorization etc. is being handled using the app. The money comes out, the operation is successful and everyone is happy. The number of the machine can be verified either through the list of nearby machines in the app or via an accessible spreadsheet that either the bank or the community have put together, I'm not sure. #Accessibility #Blind #AdventCalendar #CzechRepublic #Banking
The release of subfolders for iOS is experiencing a short delay. Apparently, Apple doesn't take kindly to referencing other "mobile devices" in the What's New section of an update.
To be clear, we included no mention of Android in this submission.
This type of overly restrictive behavior is unacceptable and is a clear example of why open source software is important. A single company should not have this kind of market control.

US House passes equal pay bill in latest victory for women’s soccer team
New bill ensures equal pay for US women in international events
Equal Pay for Team USA Act will now move on to Biden’s desk. The House has passed a bill that ensures equal compensation for US women competing in international events, a piece of legislation that came out of the US women’s soccer team’s long battle to be paid as MUCH AS MEN.
We all have a to-do list with items that have been there for too long, as more important problems come up… or procrastination kicks in. That’s even true for Mozilla, which recently fixed a Firefox bug that was first reported 18 years ago.

2. The General Services Administration should publish data on #Section508 compliance. #GSA gathers and analyzes data on Section 508 compliance twice a year but does not release it to the public or Congress. Releasing these data publicly will improve #transparency and accountability regarding Section 508 compliance

A tech company source used to make me turn off my phone before meetings because of concern that his employer would check to see if our phones were near each other. This was not a crazy concern it turns out! TikTok tried something like this to hunt down leakers: nytimes.com/2022/12/22/technol…

The Department of Justice should resume reporting on federal compliance with Section 508 requirements. Section 508 requires DOJ to report on the federal #government’s compliance with #Section508 every two years. However, DOJ has not issued a report since 2012. In response to bipartisan Aging Committee oversight, #DOJ recently committed to issuing its first report in a decade.

in reply to cariefisher • • •Yikes. That is horrible. I've been a bit sick recently. Things definitely taste better than socks.. Well, better than my socks anyways.
Glad you are feeling a bit better. Take care of yourself, and let others take care of you too!
We all need you in 2023!

in reply to Mike Gifford, CPWA • • •@mgifford thanks Mike! I hope you feel better soon too!!
Thankfully, I never tested positive for any of the big bad three this year (COVID, RSV, influenza)...so I guess it could have been much worse
I am thankful for health more than ever after this year. It really is more valuable than anything else...but you never realize it until it is gone.

I was feeling well enough today to be shoveling snow, so that's a good thing. :)
