It’s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described. It was an incredible opportunity to share with a wider audience the importance of NVDA & our overarching message, that everyone deserves equal access to technology.

You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sA…

How Warren Buffett Privately Traded in #Stocks That Berkshire Hathaway Was Buying and Selling
==

Buffett has long said such trading would be a conflict of interest, and Berkshire policies prohibit it.

But confidential records show that, on at least three occasions, he sold millions of dollars of shares in stocks that Berkshire was #trading.

random post import from new followed diaspora profile

Hi there,
not a real problem but I find it strange and in any case worrisome as in the end this adds to the DB without any direct request.

I just followed a profile that has like over a decade of existence in the fediVerse with tons of posts. I actually searched and researched for some of them and like just by the way a few more posts of that profile popped up in my network stream.
It doesn't look like there is any kind of pattern to it at all.
(except that they all end with "4860008dbc6c"?)

I did search for some D* posts from this "brand new server" to import reshare/save them:

https://diaspora-fr.org/posts/50b2e8882bd91579

Also it looks like these posts have in common that bitpickup@framasphere.org, a D* server and there for profile that doesn't exist anymore reshared them, unlikely that this has something to do with it.

I guess this is the point here.

Right now I'm in a working rush as this server juste started as it should, have a back log on the merge report and actually am anxious to do what I actually wanted to with this domain, so right now I can't.

If I stumble over it again I will come back to this, other wise when I have some time I'll try to recreate the "bug".

Share some screenshot of a post if you like, you can remove name and post body, just the date time part is needed to understand.

Avoid missing attachments in Thunderbird with attachment keywords that you can customize!

Go to Thunderbird Menu > Settings > Composition, and scroll to 'Attachments.' Click on 'Keywords' to maintain YOUR custom keyword list. 📎

If you're, ahem, strategically not attaching documents when you say you've attached them, you can turn reminders off across Thunderbird in Attachment Settings - or disable reminders for the current message when the attachment reminder pops up. 😉

Petition der Mozilla Foundation an #Microsoft:

"Wir haben 4 Jurist*innen, 3 Datenschutzexpert*innen und 2 Aktivist*innen beauftragt, den neuen Servicevertrag von Microsoft unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Keinem der Profis gelang es, dem Dokument zu entnehmen, ob Microsoft plant, Ihre persönlichen Daten – darunter Audio- und Videodaten, Chatprotokolle und Dateianhänge aus 130 Produkten wie Office, Skype, Teams und Xbox – zum Training seiner KI-Modelle zu nutzen.

Wenn 9 Datenschutzexpert*innen nicht verstehen, wie Microsoft Ihre Daten nutzen wird – wie sollen Normalverbraucher*innen da durchblicken? Wahrscheinlich gar nicht. Deshalb fordern wir Microsoft auf, Klartext zu reden, ob das Unternehmen persönliche Daten zu KI-Trainingszwecken einsetzt."

Looks like Qualcomm managed to make a SoC style ARM chip that's comparable to Apple M series chips in terms of power consumption and performance.

Can't wait to see some Linux laptops using this chip.

“The emissions from production of computing devices exceed the emissions from operating them, so even if devices are more energy efficient producing more of them will make the emissions problem worse. Therefore we must extend the useful life of our computing devices. As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible.” arxiv.org/abs/2303.06642

@kopio this is not totally true... Premium customer since 2019, I do not need more than I pay and the premium fits me well. Yesterday I received the tuta mail about the possibility to get the tuta.com BUT it is only for the revolution and + subscription... The mail insists very aggressively to force me to upgrade to be able to have it... I cannot feel more disgusted by this miserable "marketing" . I would never imagine this company doing such blackmail to old paying customers.

I just spent over 30 minutes attempting (and failing) to sign up for Oracle Cloud's free tier thing because I wanted to test it out. So far, I have:

* Attempted to get around 3 HCaptcha accessibility cookies (I wrote a previous rant about that somewhere (TL;DR: Fuck HCaptcha)),
* Figured out it didn't like my generated password (seriously?),
* sat there for like 3 minutes waiting for the signup process to actually go through (once I verified my payment information and such and there were no (visible) errors, though there could have totally been some hidden error I missed because it was inaccessible),
* Among other amazing things.

I just don't get it.

@RichardMonvoisin trop cool que tu sois sur mastodon, je viens de le découvrir. Ça serait cool que ça soit plus mis en avant sur ton site, à la place des infâmes logos twitter/facebook/instagram. De plus, on peut suivre ton blog en RSS à l'URL monvoisin.xyz/feed mais malheureusement c'est complètement caché. Dommage pour les dinosaures libristes comme moi, enfin bon j'ai trouvé mais quand même, RSS c'est le bien ;-)
