A new kind of git history
Discussions about rebase vs. merge are familiar territory for anybody with an interest in version control in general and git in particular. ...nhaehnle.blogspot.com
Sonos is considered a recommended speaker brand in the blind community.
Both because many blind people are audiophiles, and because their app is screen reader accessible.
However, Sonos is about to release a new version of their app and at the moment it looks like it will be practically unusable for the blind.
Screen reader users that will not prevent their devices from updating will lose access to the expensive hardware they have purchased.

Keď včera prišli prvé náznaky, že by MS mohol spomaliť a "plne sa sústrediť" na bezpečnosť mal som z toho zmiešané pocity. Iste, na prvý pohľad sa to dalo považovať za dobrú správu, malo to však dve chybičky krásy. Dnes je už aspoň prvá z nich preč.
- Včera to bol iba šum, nič oficiálne. Dnes to však už môžeme považovať za potvrdené.
- Áno, spomaliť a urobiť to, čo je správne - sústrediť sa na bezpečnosť a opravy... super. Aj to treba pochváliť. "Ale není to málo, Antone Pavloviči?" Bezpečnosť nie je niečo, čo stačí "urobiť" raz za čas a máme vymaľované. Nie je to projekt, je to nikdy nekončiaci proces. Iste, MS by sme pravdepodobne krivdili, ak by sme povedali, že na bezpečnosť úplne kašlú, ale nedávne usadlosti jasne ukázali, že to čo robili doteraz nestačí.
Zmení sa teda aj niečo na ich systematickom prístupe? Rád by som tomu veril, ale profesionálna skepsa mi nedovolí byť optimista...
Microsoft pokračuje v bití sa do pŕs, ako to s tou bezpečnosťou na prvom mieste myslí sakra vážne. Veľký šéf dokonca odkomunikoval všetkým zamestnancom pomerne rozsiahlu správu, kde sa okrem iného píše aj to, že ak sa kedykoľvek musia rozhodovať medzi bezpečnosťou alebo inou prioritou - majú jednoznačne uprednostniť bezpečnosť. #Microsoft #Bezpečnosť
Krásne, skvelé, takto by som bol rád, keby sa firmy správali. Ale verím tomu, že to myslia (v MS) úprimne? Že to nie je iba reakcia na aktuálny negatívny sled udalostí? Že to nevyfučí ako balón behom max jedného kvartálu? #Firmy #Správanie
Neverím im ani slovo. Iste, aj takýto krátkodobý záchvev môže na chvíľu veci trošku zlepšiť, ale nemajme prehnané očakávania. MS bral doteraz bezpečnosť buď ako nutné zlo, alebo ako spôsob ryžovania, keď čo i len trochu pokročilejšie bezpečnostné funkcie zabalil do najdrahšiej E5 licencie. #Microsoft #Bezpečnosť
To, že MS produkty sú obľúbeným (rozšíreným a deravým) cieľom útočníkov nie je novinka a všetci to vieme už nejakú tú dekádu, takže ich aktuálne "precitnutie" je naozaj veľmi ťažko uveriteľné. #MS #Produkty #Útočníci #Bezpečnosť #Memo #TheVerge

O clima de tolerância recente para grupos de caráter racista e fascista como por exemplo 1143, Habeas Corpus, Reconquista deixando-os livremente existir e manifestar-se tem esta consequência: ficam depois com grande à vontade para cometer este tipo de crimes

Wow, what an absolute disaster! And I thought in 2024, we finally would be past such grand fuckups! Excuse the language… But there is no other word that can describe how I feel about this. We have 12 Sonos devices in our household as well, and many of them are already the second generation devices, after the first gen we bought ten years ago started breaking down or no longer receiving updates.
As for Sonos’s commitment to accessibility: This was definitely true for the iOS and Android apps in the past, but never for the Mac app. The Mac app is the same rubbish that I downloaded ten years ago, and my reports on the easy to fix labeling problems totally went unheard. So while it is appalling, this newest round of accessibility fuckup doesn’t totally come as a surprise.
