Interesting: ProtonMail finally admits that Germany "is a good choice given Germany’s strong privacy laws and culture that make it almost as strong as Switzerland."
For once, we couldn't agree more. 😀
We'd even argue Germany is much better as we do not have data retention laws (which would be against the German constitution) - while in Switzerland large tech companies are forced by law to retain data: tutanota.com/blog/posts/data-r…
@iwastux @PuffPuffPeace Exactly, being in a 14 eyes does not matter; Germany & Switzerland are no different when it comes to secret services. That's why we need end-to-end encryption! tutanota.com/blog/posts/fourte…
I'm using the latest version of Mac OS. When VoiceOver encounters a YouTube page in Safari, it starts speaking through all of the Verified badges on the page and reading the titles of some of the videos all at once.
Hi everyone! A week long jam about making blind accessible games is going to be next month! It's all about testing out new tech to make blind accessible games! I hope some folks join! itch.io/jam/bare-1
A game jam from 2023-07-22 to 2023-07-31 hosted by NightBlade & vampirebox. Welcome to the first BARE Jam! The goal of this jam is to explore technologies we can use to make games accessible to blind players. Beginners and vet...
Oh, it's not actually available yet? Well, I signed up. Seems like an idea worth supporting. Also, haven't they done a collaboration with @sqfmi? Is that the same Beeper?
On the one hand it is great to see a new member of the foundation. On the other hand it is a no go that they can read the messages while they are re-encrypted.
When I am bored, I start to scratch something that my humans don't like to be scratched. A chair upholstery for example. 🪑 This always brings their attention to me. But they are also angry angry at me. 👀😡 So I invented the step two. After scratching I start to look cute. 🥺 This immediately removes all the anger and only human's attention remains. 😺 #Cat #CatLife #LifeHack #CatsOfMastodon
Vyhrála jsem Překladatelskou soutěž Jiřího Levého v kategorii prózy za překlad kapitoly románu Glory zimbabwské spisovatelky NoViolet Bulawayo. Mám radost 😊 Ještě větší radost bych měla, kdyby chtěl Glory někdo vydat u nás. Není to žádná nevýznamná kniha, v roce 2022 byla zařazena na shortlist Booker Prize. 🏆 A myslím, že svým výsměchem autoritám by mohla být českým čtenářům sympatická. Bohužel krize tomuhle typu literatury úplně nepřeje. No nic, budu ji zkoušet nabízet dál.

Let’s get this right. Scientists didn’t fail to communicate the risks of #climatechange, they have been warning us for a century. Our policies are failing because after knowing the risks, fossil fuel companies spent billions of dollars blocking meaningful action on #climate.
Dnešní hackerský útok na web @CRozhlas, který měl přenášet konferenci Média a Ukrajina, potvrzuje, jak moc protivníkům vadí objektivní informace o konfliktech.
One of my favourite things about the fedi culture of image descriptions is that I have no idea what that logo is wth never seen it. Wait Nix is that like ONE distro? I through it was a generic term to describe any Posix system!

It is good to see more people rebel against NVD's ridiculous severity levels. This time a small memory leak in the yasm assembler:openwall.com/lists/oss-securit… - rated CRITICAL 9.8
OK WTF... that almost seems deliberate? How does a small issue that doesn't even get many comments suddenly get a 9.8 CVE? Did someone just want a critical CVE in their name and had friends, or what??
I can only find two people with NVD association on LinkedIn... So people working there are either ashamed or ridiculously understaffed, and I suspect the second. But I'd rather have them not score at all than score that badly...
BOSTON, MA—Ramping up search and rescue efforts to locate the missing OceanGate tourist vessel, the U.S. Coast Guard told reporters Tuesday they sent out another submersible full of billionaires after the first one.

Hallo liebe Leseratten! Ich schick Euch mal eben ein kleines Futterpaket. Gerade machen sich weitere 21 #eBooks auf den Weg zu meinem Server. Damit stehen Euch dort nunmehr 12.265 Schmöker-Einheiten in deutscher Sprache zur Verfügung 🥳
Wie üblich:
* ohne Anmeldung * ohne Tracking * ohne JavaScript * mit OPDS (also gern direkt in Eure Lesegeräte/Lese-Apps einbinden)
Wenn ich im Tolino-Browser die auf deiner Seite genannte opds-Adresse eingebe, sehe ich den Seiten-Sourcecode. Fehlt da das html-Tag oder kann der Tolino das nicht?
@Diogenes Das ist nicht der Seiten-Sourcecode. Das ist OPDS (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Pub…). Im Browser immer die Browser-URL verwenden. Ob der Tolino OPDS unterstützt, weiß ich nicht, habe keinen.
@serrq I focus on German, yes. There's a smaller English section (about 1.1k eBooks) as well covering a few topics, mostly SF and Judaica – English is covered well in so many other places like Gutenberg already.
Compatible with Libera: probably. Does it support OPDS catalogs? EPUB format? Then yes.
hmm über vodafone kabel ist qumran.org nicht erreichbar(timeout)? Dns wird richtig aufgelöst. Wenn ich über die selbe Leitung per vpn rausgehe gehts.. oder wenn ich mobile Daten nehm... also entweder ich hab nen Denkfehler... oder irgendwas ist komisch
@serrq Afraid that you'll need to ask the devs of the app. There are so many apps, I cannot know them all by heart 😉
PS: I've just installed the app to check for you. Couldn't find that option either. If you're open to an alternative reader app: Book Reader (f-droid.org/packages/com.githu…) has my library pre-configured. (at least it had when I last checked, a couple of years ago 🙈)
Ir just like and use both. Accessible Android, Boosted from @accessibleandroid: No matter how much phones evolve, there will be those who will prioritize and love a computer more than a phone.

The app in this article connects phone and computer in a much more comprehensive way. The app is currently called Phone Link and is being developed by Microsoft.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).
If anybody cares, the city of Poznań, Poland, has published all their public transit announcements, about 2700 of them, for everybody to Download and enjoy. Cc @Piciokztm.poznan.pl/pl/dla-deweloper…
Great! Now somebody could theoretically build those into a transit schedule app to recreate the announcements system inside our pockets for vehicles where this is missing. I believe Poznań updates their info in real time, actual real time, not every 30 seconds like some cities do so this would actually make sense.
You could always use something like this to track the transit you're waiting for more easily. Would be fun to see how well the message in the app and the vehicle actually arriving would synchronize.
Something like this would have been far more useful here in Wrocław, but our APIs are basically nonexistent. You can get GTFS schedules easily, but that’s about it. Realtime data is available in theory, but it breaks pretty often. If you want to get reliable realtime data or electronic access to the interactive schedule boards that you can find at many bus stops, you essentially have to reverse-engineer the official Android app and connect to the API with its username and password. Of course, none of the boards talk. Buses with no PA system at all, a PA system so quiet that you can barely hear it or a PA system that announces the line but not the stop are also pretty common, especially on some lines.
Yes, I've experienced that. Also, the announcement about the line number and direction being played inside the vehicle only or as soon as it leaves the station. Pretty wild!
Yup. Our vehicles seem to be using the same speaker for the next stop / current stop announcements as for the line/direction announcements. If the line announcement plays with the doors closed, you can barely hear it.

An analysis of why Mastodon failed to capitalize on the Twitter migration according to a former Mastodon admin. These all match my experience
1. Features competitive to Twitter of 2008 when we’re in 2023 2. Users don’t care about decentralization 3. Decentralization makes the user experience worse 4. Its decision makers consider its usability flaws to be features not bugs. 5. It’s culture is exclusionary
I’ve been using fediverse stuff (Mastodon and, most recently, Calckey – I’m just going to use “Mastodon” as shorthand here, purists can bite me) for over a year now, a…
But also, I think claims of the "failed migration" might be premature? The migration is still happening. Just much slower and more organically than folks who are used to hypergrowth seeing. 🤷🏿♂️
Every time a social media network upsets its userbase, the fediverse grows. I joke that it's the Pete Davidson of social networks. Given that social media networks can't seem to stop themselves from annoying their own users, it seems to be a pretty good growth strategy.
Blue Sky's major value proposition for about 4 weeks was "this place is better for Black people than Twitter or Mastodon." And for those 4 weeks it was the fastest growing, most hyped, social network. Celebs joined!
Then they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, by allowing the most followed, most visible Black woman on Blue Sky to be harassed by a person posting racist nonsense while they took no action other than to defend the abuser.
