@drew That would explain why Netflix is completely inaccessible on those devices, then.
Though I think I remember it reading channel names, so perhaps not?
that communicator was the first thing I ever bought on eBay and I spent the entire week crapping myself thinking I've been ripped off to the tune of many many dollars
E-commerce platform Shopify denies it suffered a data breach after a threat actor began selling customer data they claim was stolen from the company's network.
Are you also allowed to send the LaTeX source?
As a screen reader user, those are far more readable to me than the PDFs. Fortunately most papers in my field are on arxiv now, and that site lets you download LaTeX with no questions asked.

You can now get three kinds of #PureOS subscription from @purism!
Each of them:
- Helps maintaining releases and bug fixes
- Helps pushing code to other projects
Free and Open Source Software (#FOSS) developers also need an #income!
Consider subscribing if you want to advance #Linux #privacy friendly computing or if you are using #MobileLinux.
shop.puri.sm/?s=pureos+subscri…
#opensource #phone #librem5 #pinephone #chatty #mobian #linux
so you're saying people should give Purism - a for-profit company - money, because they did the bare minimum of hiring open source devs and letting them keep their work in the open?
I can't tell you where your purism subscription will go, but anyone can tell you exactly where you money goes if you donate to a project like postmarketOS directly instead... And to be frank, I'd argue that you get much better bang for your buck when it comes to progressing the Mobile Linux ecosystem.
Thanks to @slomo the #gstreamer gtk4-paintable-sink just got support for video rotations. This is nice for video apps, making playback of video recorded on phones (portrait mode) more easy or faster (avoiding a copy compared to using a dedicated gst videoflip element).
The change is even better for Snapshot, the #gnome camera app: it uses the sink for its viewfinder and avoiding additional copies here has quite an impact on #mobilelinux devices.
Minimálne do 2030.

Waymo’s Robotaxi Rollout is a Landmark Moment for Driverless Cars
We’ve finished digitizing all of the The Famous Computer Cafe tapes. In the end, we recovered 52 1/2 episodes, a perfect time capsule of the world of microcomputing spanning November 17 1984 through July 12, 1985. They’re at archive.org/details/famous-com…
Hundreds more episodes are still lost, so keep an eye out in the world for more Famous Computer Cafe tapes: they’re on 10.5” NAB reel-to-reel tapes, and may still be in or around the Los Angeles area.
Newly added episodes:
John Shirley, who was president of Microsoft. He died in 2013.
John Reese, head of Tronix and Monogram Software, talking about home banking and “Dollars and Sense” software.
A banger of an episode with journalist Steven Levy (author of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution); Sid Meier of Microprose, talking about F-15 Strike Eagle); and Dave Johnson of IBM, discussing voice response systems.
Christopher Miles of Crystal Network, which was some sort of online service that I couldn’t get my head around.

$700bn delusion: Does using data to target specific audiences make advertising more effective? Latest studies suggest not | Mi3
Ever wondered how come martech is a US$700bn industry, but the ads you see are still crap? Clue – it's because the data foundations are crap, says Brand Traction's Jon Bradshaw.www.mi-3.com.au
This doesn't align with intuition nor with prior research, which makes me extremely suspicious.
It might be true for some pieces of content, but it's hard to define contextual for e.g. a Taylor Swift song or "Game of Thrones", and a lot of content we consume on the internet is exactly of this nature.
@miki It’s indeed difficult to define. But in essence, you don’t have to match the context of every piece of content ads are shown next to but rather the context of the location. See:

This is Susan's daughter, Lesley.
I regret to inform you that my mother lost her battle with cancer yesterday morning, the 25th of April, 2016.
I want to thank all of you for the compassion and support you showed my mother during her long illness and in all of her beloved hobbies from writing to music to astronomy.
There will be a memorial posted towards the end of May, very soon. We would love to see you in Chicago for it. An obituary will be posted in the Naperville Sun.
Her wishes were for donations to The Nature Conservancy in lieu of flowers.
Much love and many thanks,
Drew and Lesley
