Les presento a Gaia, una perrita que adoptaron mi esposa e hija la semana pasada mientras yo estaba de viaje. La encontraron amarrada a un árbol y les dijo una persona que llevaba un día ahí.
Va a ser la compañera del Mozzarello. Según el veterinario, debe tener año y medio de edad. Es muy cariñosa y poco a poco se acostumbra a estar con nosotros.
@rtfm it was not copied from any other logo/company/project at least, because at that time I knew of no such to copy from. But sure, :// has been used since URLs were invented - if not longer.
So interestingly, I have a much easier time with this than I did with eSpeak. And I’ve used both Orpheus and eSpeak about an equal amount. Interesting!
If you’re actually seriously asking, it’s better than a screen reader in such a way a video might be better than text I suppose. More personality and character and you have more control over what gets said how, and how it sounds. You’re basically narrating your toots like an audiobook. If you enjoy doing it, there’s nothing wrong with it, but those of us who use screen readers are so used to them that we’re happy reading the text as well. We usually set our screen readers up in very specific ways, like specific voice, the speech rate is really fast, substitutions and different levels of punctuation and so on, so we already have a very specific way in which we read posts which might take literal fractions of the time that listening to the audio might. But on the other hand, you reading your posts gives voice and sound to the text and I think that’s cool.
@talon I have zero experience with screen readers. I can use my imagination and what I’m imagining is something akin to what Stephen Hawking’s “voice” sounds like. And I can imagine how awful a wall of emojis would be. Glad you liked my AudioToot. It was fun to make.
@talon Wow. That was my toot? I didn’t recognise a single word of that! That’s insane. That’s faster than I can read. Respect. It’s certainly more time efficient.
@talon Even though I am also a screenreader user, I couldn't understand that reading of the toot with Eloquence either, it was too fast for me: I use more human-sounding voices with my screen-reader, faster than ordinary human speech, but not as fast as that.
@talon @frog67 I've just been gradually speeding it up. I once heard someone using it with the speech rate set to 80, and now that's my goal lol. Right now it's at 60.
@Caoimhe @talon @frog67 I have it at 50, although I cheat, I use the Spanish voice to read English too. Weird, I know. But as Spanish has an almost phonetic spelling it's not ambiguous in the end.
@sukiletxe @Caoimhe @talon @frog67 That's me with Polish. Rate 60 with rate boost on is what I feel most comfortable with, although I adapt my settings to Mac / iOS of course.
Data visualizations aim to make information easier to understand through visual presentation, but they can have specific accessibility implications for people with disabilities.
Why some of my friends do not visit the Yasukuni-shrine in Tokyo, and more thoughts on how Japan and Germany see the Second World War and deal with history: blog.fluxcoil.net/posts/2024/0…
Interesting! I see that it got republished in small numbers, copyright wise it is no longer protected. fr.de/kultur/literatur/hitlers… sees it still forbidden as "propaganda", but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kam… sees unmodified versions as not covered by the ban. Fixing the article.
Auch wenn 70 Jahre nach Adolf Hitlers Todesjahr das Urheberrecht erlischt, bleibt seine Hetzschrift "Mein Kampf" verboten. Es gibt eine Ausnahme: Am 8. Januar wird eine vom Institut für Zeitgeschichte edierte Ausgabe erscheinen.

Das ist so absurd. Man weiß wirklich nicht, ob man lachen oder weinen soll. phpMyAdmin ist offenbar ein »gefährliches Hackertool« im Sinne des Hackerparagrafen 202a StGB. Wenn der Gesetzgeber das JETZT nicht ändert, dann war es das mit der Responsible Disclosure. Wenn man jetzt noch dafür belangt wird, überlegt man sich zweimal, ob man die Daten nicht gleich gewinnbringend verkauft... 🤦♂️
European parliament MEPs have voted to outlaw use of terms such as “environmentally friendly”, “natural”, “biodegradable”, “climate neutral” or “eco” without evidence, while introducing a total ban on using carbon #offsetting schemes to substantiate claims theguardian.com/environment/20…
And they ignore the misleading terms they use themselves e.g. to push ChatControl. IMHO before they tell others how to deal with things like that, they should put their own house in order. I mean, they set a bad example themselves. And not just one at that.
Let's go on a trip to memory lane, shall we? Let's go back to 2014. NPR reported on the tiny island of El Hierro: "El Hierro, the most remote of Spain's Canary Islands, is now billing itself as the world's first energy self-sufficient island that has never been hooked up to a power grid."

I feel uneasy about self-promotion and exposing my work, since I never feel too certain it's any good.
Still, I wrote a small poem in the form of a dialogue called A Rose, and since I bothered writing it and formatting it in Markdown for my blog, I may as well leave the link here: modulus.isonomia.net/writing/r…
I, unironically, love Reddit. But it's just USENET with a better UI, and a few moderation improvements.
Most days I use DropBox. But it's just FTP, but a bit easier to use and automate.
I waste a lot of time on Slack. When I explain it to old-school nerds, I say it's IRC - but developed by someone who gives a damn about user experience.
Most people in the world don't have access to WWW. Instead, they use Facebook which gives them a much simpler way to post photos and share their thoughts. It doesn't ask them to hand-edit an .htaccess file.
I don't know anyone who uses Listserve. It turns out that Telegram is faster, more convenient, and doesn't require esoteric commands.
Indeed, why bother with Email? You don't need to learn how to configure SMTP when you have WhatsApp.
What other, classic, decentralised Internet tools have been turned from open protocols to closed and proprietary services?
A large part of this is our fault. And, by us, I mean gatekeeping nerds. We developed tools which were unforgiving. We had no interest in the "soft" skills of empathy. We were too socially-awkward to speak to real users. We were insular and we liked it! Worse than that - we revelled in it.
LOL! ROFL! LMAO!
And then Apple eats everyone's lunch by relentlessly focussing on being user friendly. Good for them. But it means handing over control to a single organisation.
I don't claim to be any good at user experience - far from it. But I despair at some of the redecentralised efforts I see springing up. They are technically brilliant, and follow the open-source philosophy of scratching one's own itch. And they all - without fail - are terrible to use.
Redecentralisation won't happen because of us nerds. It must happen despite us. Despite our ingenuity and despite our self-infatuation. It must be inclusive, and put user-needs at its very heart.
Heads up 🇬🇧: we'll be at #StateOfOpenCon in London on 6-7 Feb. Stop by our table for physical copies of the Standard for Public Code or Governance Game, or come tell @ainali and @ejfdr about your #FOSS project. You can still get tickets at: stateofopencon.com/ #SOOCON24
Je smutné, že státní správa musí šlápnout do pedálů tam, kde volné prostředí zaspalo. Ale líbí se mi, když se stanovují jasná rozhodnutí, jasné cíle a jasné termíny.
Do 6. června 2032 orgány státní správy přestanou poskytovat služby na protokolu IPv4.
2032 mi přijde zbytečně daleko. Ať to bude kdykoliv, stejně to nestihnou všechny úřady. Ale ISP by to mohlo konečně donutit s tím pohnout. A všichni říkají že jsou prakticky ready jen to mají zatím jen v testovacím provozu, tak by neměl být problém...
@stepan Někdo zase nadává, že je to moc brzy. Nedá se vyhovět všem, je potřeba ale dát jasné rozhodnutí: teď to uděláme a bude to. Jinak se bude pořád jenom povídat a točit a jednat a nikam to nepovede. Někdy je prostě potřeba se rozhodnout.
když jsem to četl, tak jsem skřípal zuby. Je hrozný, že tohle nějaký soud může říct, ještě měli napsat, že se jí to líbilo, twl 🙈 🤬 každé znásilnění je špatně a mělo by se přísně trestat, statistiky jsou neúprosné!
jako, už to že se předtím 2x pokusila o sebevraždu je jasným důkazem toho, že si následky ponese životem fakt dlouho. Tady je na to podcast, který všechny ty problémy co lidi co si tím prošli mají podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0c… a je to fakt hrozný. Znalec by se měl zodpovídat za svůj posudek.
Sexuální zneužívání může být definováno různě. Pro potřeby lékařských výzkumů jeho negativních dopadů na zdraví jej CDC u dětí coby jeden z Neblahých zážitků z dětství (Adverse Childhood Experiences) definuje jako pozitivní odpověď na otázku: "Rodič,…
More details about the end of #IPv4 in state services: On 18th of December 2013 Czech #government decided that every service provided by Czech state has to be available on #IPv6 and be protected by #DNSSEC by 30th of June 2015. Yesterday a followed up action has been agreed on. On 6th of June 2032, IPv4 will be disabled on all services offered by Czech republic and they will be only available on IPv6 from that day on. Apart from that, every June starting from 2025, Czech government will get a report on how are the preparations.
Overall seems like a bold move, but I totally support it! IT sends a message, that #IPv4 is over and everybody should move to #IPv6 already. And even government - the definition of conservative and bureaucratic institution - gets it. Then why shouldn't you embrace it 😉
Vláda ČR včera přijala významné usnesení, které se týká infrastruktury Internetu, když projednala materiál s názvem „Restart zavádění technologie DNSSEC a protokolu IPv6 ve státní správě“.
Obejrzałem dzisiejsze posiedzenie parlamentarnego zespołu ds. walki z wykluczeniem transportowym. Tematem były pociągi Newagu. Jeśli kogoś jakimś cudem sprawa ominęła, zostawiam link: zaufanatrzeciastrona.pl/post/o…
Streszczając: Dragon Sector mówił w zasadzie to co na np. 37C3 (oczywiście mniej technicznie), w sposób spójny, konkretny i zrozumiały. W zasadzie niczego nowego nie przedstawiono, poza bardziej szczegółową listą usterek, ale dla obecnych tam osób pewnie było trochę nowości. Newag wypadł natomiast bardzo słabo, w ogóle nie odnosząc się do tematu spotkania. W swojej prezentacji ani razu nie wspomnieli o zmianach w oprogramowaniu, przez pół godziny nawijali o jakości przeglądów wykonywanych przez firmy zewnętrzne, próbując w ten sposób zrzucić winę na podmioty serwisujące. Do tego stopnia pieprzyli bez sensu, że prezentację w zasadzie przerwano, kazano się streszczać i mówić na temat. Po prezentacjach obu stron zostało niecałe pół godziny, więc czasu na pytania było stanowczo zbyt mało – tak naprawdę potrzeba by było całego dnia, a nie dwóch godzin, by ta dyskusja do czegoś mogła dojść. Mimo to stanowiska DS i przewoźników były interesujące i pozwoliły paru trupom wypaść z szafy.
Disclaimer 1: w cudzysłów stawiam niekiedy nie tyle cytaty 1:1, co stanowiska poszczególnych stron. Wybaczcie, ale nie chce mi się scrollować 140 minut materiału, by sprawdzać, czy nie zamieniłem miejscami spójnika z przydawką. Disclaimer 2: nie chce mi się zakładać bloga specjalnie na jeden tekst w roku tej długości, dacie radę.
O prezentacji DS nie będę się zbytnio rozpisywać, gdyż jak pisałem, jeśli czytaliście artykuł na z3s i oglądaliście 37C3, to nigdzie nie drgnie Wam powieka z ciekawości. Chłopaki prezentowali prezentację osobiście, z drobnymi komentarzami od siedzącego obok prawnika ich reprezentującego.

California is considering adopting a new law (AB-1757) that adopts Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA as the level of accessibility that websites and mobile apps providing products or services must follow.
I’m in month 3 of furlough, and I am in need of a new job opportunity. It’s not what I want, but what I must do for my family.

If you use the #flatpak version of #deltachat_desktop and it crashes 💥 when you click on notifications or unread chats -> you can disable notifications as workaround to get rid of the crashes.
We unfortunately haven't found a solution for this problem yet. 😢
Seems to be related to a libnotify portal + electron issue.
If you want to know more or know something that could help us to fix this problem, the issue is here:
