Inspiré par le "[old computer challenge](dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-07-…)" proposé par Solene (dataswamp), je vais essayé d'utiliser pour seul ordi pendant une semaine ce vieux Packard Bell d'il y a 20 ans (1.5Go de RAM, 1 CPU 2.2GHz, 1 HDD). C'est pour moi une façon de réfléchir à nos pratiques numériques qui participent à l'obsolescence logiciel et matériel. Je vais essayé de live toot tout ça :-)

Aujourd'hui j'ai recompilé Quaternion comme un grand. Il semble que mon principal problème était le timeout de 30 secondes sur la synchro : c'est trop court pour mon compte avec plusieurs centaines de rooms et ma petite machine. En passant le timeout à 10 minutes, plus 2/3 autres tweaks, j'ai un client Matrix avec du chiffrement de bout en bout et qui soit pas trop lourd. A moi Matrix !

Apparently some dickhead (or dickheads, as the case may be) uploaded malware into an issue on Codeberg and shared links to it and managed to get Codeberg onto a number of block lists so some folks can’t access the site now because their ISPs are blocking it.

If you know the folks who run these lists and can help remove Codeberg from them, I’d appreciate it.

More details: codeberg.org/Codeberg/Communit…

THUNDERBIRD SUPERNOVA UPDATE:

Massive UX/UI updates to Thunderbird coming in January (on our alpha "Daily" channel). Get Daily on thunderbird.net -scroll down the page a bit to choose version: Stable, Beta or Daily). Remember Daily is Alpha quality, there will be really rough edges, but I use it every day and am very productive. 😁

These big changes should hit Beta in February or early March, at the latest. Then it's just polish and shine until the stable, yearly release in July.

Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!

audiogame-manager

Audiogame-manager has moved. The new url is:

git.stormux.org/storm/audiogam…

The easiest way to update is to just reclone the project from the new url:

git clone https://git.stormux.org/storm/audiogame-manager

The old gitlab code will remain available until approximately new year’s day. It has been archived so that no one accidently pushes code there.

Actually cannot believe this. After 13 years, Sony/BMG have decided to take down Rick Astley's "Never gunna give you up" due to a dispute with Youtube over ad royalties.

It's completely blocked globally. Actual end of an era.

@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 :blobcatgooglyshrug:

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.

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.

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.

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.
