If you are used to working with #Microsoft #Office, you might feel lost when working with @libreoffice. But did you know that with just two #LibreOffice settings you can make the user interface look similar to a Microsoft Office product?

I'm glad I bought a digital amp. I imagine since I did my speaker placement values by ear it's probably as good as the seperation this would give. If you didn't want to deal with all that this might be worth buying two of them, IMPO. apple.com/newsroom/2023/01/app…

Interesting bit of prior art in retrofitting accessibility onto Tk, or rather Python's Tkinter: There's an old Python package called Tka11y (pypi.org/project/Tka11y/) that implements accessibility on top of Tkinter using ATK (so Unix-only in practice). I hadn't realized that ATK could be used in applications that don't use GTK at all.

Peter Vágner reshared this.

Of course, ATK was itself an abstraction, for which AT-SPI was theoretically just one back-end (though it ended up being the only one in practice). So one could think of ATK as being a C-based equivalent of AccessKit, developed over 20 years ago. Not that I want to abandon AccessKit and go with ATK instead, of course. The GObject dependency and use of LGPL would probably prevent wider adoption of ATK outside the GNOME world. And even GNOME has effectively deprecated ATK now.

Zákazy jsou poměrně ostrý krok. Mně by pro začátek stačilo, kdyby objednávání vlakových jízdenek pro služební cesty nebylo výrazně složitější než objednávání letenek. Snad to na té univerzitě tak mají.

It's been a while, but yesterday we released Dendrite 0.10.9, containing our first Helm chart, several bug fixes and optimizations™

PSA: Today Thunderbird 102.7.0 releases with a crucial change to how we handle #OAuth2 authorization with #Microsoft accounts. This may involve extra work for users currently using Microsoft-hosted accounts through their employer or educational institution.

UPDATE:
We have delayed further rollout of Thunderbird 102.7.0 while a suitable patch is implemented to resolve a critical OAuth issue

If your client was already upgraded to 102.7.0 and you wish to use a previous version for the time being, please install and launch an older version, for example, 102.6. Thunderbird should automatically detect your existing profile.

However, you can launch the Profile Manager if needed by following these instructions: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/p…

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

UPDATE:
A solution to the authentication issue will ship with version 102.7.1, releasing during the week of January 23.

Version 102.7.0 is now available for MANUAL download only, to allow unaffected users to choose to update and benefit from the fixes it delivers (thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderb…)

Please note that automatic updates are currently disabled, and users of Microsoft 365 Business are cautioned to not update.

From the Firefox 109.0 changelog:

„The native HTML date picker for date and datetime inputs can now be used with a keyboard alone[…]“

Nice! Always great to see native elements being improved.

The full changelog can be found here: mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/109.…

Indescribably exciting to have just been the first ever(!) person to enter Matrix in VR, thanks to @thirdroomio@twitter.com's first cut of WebXR support. Add in freeform scripting via our WebSG API and built-in direct-manipulation scene editor, and the possibilities will be infinite!! 🤯🚀👽

@utopiah Very excited! Please prioritize moderation tools. There are some excellent examples out there, Altpace’s space bubbles (are they still around?) mute buttons, etc. Do what Meta clearly didn’t do and go have fun actually playing all the other stuff that’s out there so you can see what works and what doesn’t for preventing harassment.

Layoffs are absolutely a social contagion. I've been in numerous conversations planning layoffs, and what peers are doing is always a key concerns. Layoffs are also a technology, and in the Crossing the Chasm framework, when Microsoft gets to layoffs we've reached the Late Majority. reuters.com/technology/microso…

I've been collecting interesting examples of information organisation in history, focusing on non-Western civilisations. I came across this example of an ancient Mesopotamian spreadsheet! It records wages paid to temple workers in 1295 BCE.

Unfortunately I didn't save screenshots of all the weird errors I got along the way they would have been good to illustrate the post with.

Warning about the new thunderbird email app update, 102.7.0. If you are connecting to MS exchange servers, you may have pain. It changed App Name (see bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.… ) & now some exchange servers don't recognize it & "require approval." My university server just refuses to connect, and my law school server tells me I have to ask for approval. No release notes, no explanation, nada. Really poorly handled, @thunderbird
in reply to John Quentin Heywood

Sorry about this paper cut, John. it can be challenging keeping up with Microsoft's changes.

We did post about it here, as well on our blog, back in November.

But you're right that release notes aren't live yet for 102.7.0 -- that's because the update isn't live yet ;-)

A new version of Weather O'Clock, a #GNOME Shell #extension that puts #weather inside the pill next to the clock, has been released

This version is the completion of what I wanted this extension to be. One day I would like to see something likes this upstreamed.

I use this hidden feature of Firefox many times a day, which is not advertised well because it does not work on every site. You can right click the search box on any web page and bookmark it with a keyword. So because I've bookmarked Google Maps search box with the keyword "maps" if I want to locate tamworth uk I just type "maps tamworth uk" into the browser’s address bar. Works for many, but not all, sites.
