Eh, I have to add: record time in acting. I've reached out to them reporting the issue, and it took no more than an hour for them to fix it and for me having the RB confirmed here (that is, 1h for the entire action). Tapping my hat! 🙇
@triskelion at least that's what the file name of the APK at their releases suggests. And while a demo is all fine, it's not much use in a repo suppost to offer functional apps, right?
But nevertheless: let that not discourage you from suggesting your findings. Who knows, next time it might be something great I've totally missed! So thanks for reaching out! 🤩
@triskelion I'm no Android dev either, but that would change the app name shown to drop the "Demo".
But before I give you false hope there, I'v just looked into the latest release: wouldn't be welcome at IoD, sorry. Comes with Crashlytics, Firebase, GMS etc – so too many proprietary components. Also, why would a wallet app need your location? The app description gives no clue (but speaks of "privacy"). Draw your own conclusions, and I might be wrong to call that "a bit risky"…

The App Directory Submission process is now live at iaccessibility.net Create an account, and login, and then find the App Directory link in the menu. You will then find a button to submit an app.
We will finish creating the ability to view submitted apps by the end of the weekend.
What are your favorite/default flags to use when using curl to download files?
I think "-sLO" seems pretty common as a default. I prefer the extended flag names because it's more clear what's happening for people that aren't as familiar, but of course the short flags involve less typing
most of us are on the way back from DebConf (I'm still going to do some tourism here for a week), so it might take a couple of days for us to reply, sorry. I would love for that to happen, though.
also I did a lightning talk presentation for wcurl, I was waiting to get the YouTube link but you can watch it here for now: saimei.ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debi…
Sidewalks used to be wider. It’s a fact that rarely gets acknowledged in discussions about road diets. Usually the road diet debate is framed as taking space AWAY from cars. Really it’s about giving it BACK to pedestrians. Here’s a good article about it tinyurl.com/2s4bzxw3

"…no single human understands all of the layers…from the transistors and silicon up through …the application code, not even to mention all the network services involved…"—why I am, shall we say, not a fan of the phrase "full stack".
"…engineers I’ve worked with (including myself) who are the most comfortable reading unfamiliar code bases are at risk of habitually undervaluing documentation…”—ouch, that one hurt.
Toto si tu odložím s mojou predikciou - tento výplod od Gartnera sa ukáže ako extrémny príklad genAI hujerizmu. Určite, genAI má potenciál určité odvedvia značne posunúť a prekopať, ale tento prehnaný optimizmus kruto narazí a ja len dufam, že to nebude mať následky ako prasknutie .com bubliny.
@def Hipe je okolo toho neskutočný, všetci to majú potrebu nacpať doslova všade, alebo aspoň to napísať. To je jak blockchain pred dekádou. Ale je to už dobrých 18 mesiacov čo sa tento balónik vypustil a nejaký výraznejší posun, dokonca ani v aplikáciách kde sa dá na prvú očakávať, že by to mohlo mať naozaj zásadný prínos to poriadne nevidno. Naopak skôr vnímam nabaľujúci sa bludný kruh detských chýb a nových problémov.

Imane Khelif is a cis woman, she has experienced 9 losses against other women in her career, including the 2020 Olympics where she lost against Irish participant Kellie Harrington. Yet, the usual transphobes are currently unleashing a vile attack against her, misgendering her, accusing her of being a man competing unfairly and having some sort of advantage against her fellow athletes, all because she doesn't fit their incredibly limited norm of how a woman should look.
Suddenly, people who never cared or know much about the sport are very interested in women's boxing, and found a scapegoat in her in order to spread their disinformation. Khelif is currently receiving more vitriol than convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde who was still allowed to compete.
This is basically yet another reminder that it was never about genuinely caring for the safety of women. Transphobia is dangerous for everyone, *including* us cis women, and that the links between TERF ideology and white supremacy are very real. Feminism isn't feminism if it's not intersectional.
Lin Yu-ting originally got into boxing wanting to protect her mother from domestic violence, which clearly shows that she has experienced domestic abuse first hand.
Imane Khelif grew up in poverty, she started boxing when she became good at dodging the physical attacks of boys in her village, traveled 10km to train, and had to work to pay for her own bus fare, as her father didn't approve of boxing for girls. An experience that a lot of girls who grew up having so-called "tomboy" interests are probably familiar with. I know I am. She has recently become a UNICEF ambassador, aiming to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams. (unicef.org/algeria/en/stories/…)
Not that the transphobia and clear racist undertones of attacking these two women, despite the fact that they are both cis, aren't horrible enough, but there's something particularly sinister and cruel in the fact that the people who decided to paint them as villains and keep circulating disinformation about both, claim to act in the name of ending violence against women and protecting women's rights.
Die auf Übermedien formulierte Kritik an der Geheimplan-Recherche von Correctiv hat ein zentrales Problem, findet unser Autor. Denn sie will vom Wesen des zeitgenössischen Rechtsextremismus nichts wissen.
In the ongoing saga of trying to return a bottle I picked up at a shop in the station at Sloterdijk. Having failed at a supermarket in Leiden I tried the machine at Utrecht centraal. But apparently I'm too fucking stupid to return a bottle...
This is the machine. I can't work out how to use it. I have up after 5 mins. There seems to be no interactive mechanism. And you need a fucking app to use it ?!?! Which utter ableist fucking moron came up with this idea?
Why can't I just hand my empty to the human I bought the full one from ? What sort of tourist is gonna bother to download an app to get their €0.15 back ?!?!?
I'm trying to take another stab at implementing #Passbook (#pkpass) support in #Catima.
It's going okay but I'm having trouble hunting down test cases, especially test cases with localized strings.
Do you have any .pkpass file you're willing to share with me? If so, please send them to me and tell me if you're okay with me including them in Catima unit tests. Feel free to censor things before sending (but please tell me what you censored).
I received a variety of different passes with quite some variety of fields existing/missing and different data types.
As far as I can tell, I should have enough data to properly test and implement all common cases and I think I don't need more cards right now. If I turn out to be missing something after all I'll make sure to ask for help again :)
The Marrakesh Treaty has led to countries opening up their copyright laws and allowing the reproduction of accessible books. However, there are still many limitations. For example, 18.7% of the participating countries have a commercial availability check, and 38% have a secondary law that might require a check.Hopefully, the European Accessibility Act fully taking effect in June, 2025 will lead to a proliferation of accessible books provided by publishers. #accessibilityrepository.ifla.org/handle/123…
Exciting news on open-source neural voices! Our first experiment is complete with fantastic results! Check out the audio sample attached to this post. For this month, @pneumasolutions provided GPU resources for training. I really appreciate their contribution. This is just the beginning. To keep training going, I'm still accepting donations. Any amount helps. I'm happy to receive your donations via PayPal: paypal.me/geotts Please mention mush42/tts in the notes. #SpeechSynthesis #AI #ML
is that capable of working in low resource environments? would the resulting thing be able to generate samples at a speed good enough for most screenreader use? or, is this not ment for that use case?
@esoteric_programmer The model is designed from the ground up to be used with a screen reader running on the CPU. It takes a lot of experimentation to strike the right balance between model efficiency and output quality. But I'm getting there!
@spacepup It is not based on Vits. While the underlying repo supports multiple model architectures, this particular run is based on ConvNeXt-TTS architecture: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1…
End-to-end (E2E) sequence-to-sequence (S2S) neural text-to-speech (TTS) models and E2E-S2S neural voice conversion (VC) models can achieve high-quality speech synthesis with a single neural network.
@spacepup Glad to hear this! For now, I'm not making checkpoints available due to them being unstable. While initial results are promising, I discovered an issue with FFT parameters. Fixed it, and currently waiting for the server to become available to fine-tune with corrected data. Upon getting consistent output quality, I'll publish an online demo, and make the pretrained checkpoints available via HuggingFace.
If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: disconnect.blog/generative-ai-…
Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.
@s_levi_s Codeberg is running a single server (~130W) on renewable energy. We know that we can reach more efficiency, mostly because we don't benefit from scaling effects yet.
The difference is more like this: - we do not encourage users to use more resources, because it would cost us more. Most competitors do the opposite (e.g. recommending the use of heavy CI pipelines), simply because it makes more revenue - we do not spend any computing power on tracking and unnecessary data collection
It's one of those days where I'm missing Window-eyes 2.1 and 3.1, and feeling kind of sad over it. Also the Windows 3.1 Program Manager. Sigh. I will wallow in this feeling for a bit. Also not having Brailab and the classic Hungarian DOS games I grew up with while my American counterparts enjoy their retro DOS games with Mame, kind of makes me more nostalgic, I guess. Some hope! vetusware.com/download/Mikrobi…
Stéphanie, why did you choose Ottawa and not Montréal when you moved from Vancouver?
Because I have an Anglo husband and I won't tolerate hateful politics against him.
Can't be welcomed with bonjour-hi, can't get healthcare in English. No no no.
"Elle rappelle que l’expression « Bonjour-Hi » est proscrite dans les succursales de la SAQ et que les employés sont tenus d’accueillir les clients en français."
Des mystérieux « Bonjour-Hi » ont fait leur apparition ces dernières semaines sur des commerces et des trottoirs de l’arrondissement de Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
if that can make you feel better, franco also won't be able to get healthcare. Because the Franco-fascist in charge is also doing all he can to sell it to the private sector after destroying it.
Now I will say "Bonjour-Hi" everywhere. And default to English.

Dominantný webový prehliadač Chrome od Google s vydaním novej verzie Chrome 127 začal užívateľov upozorňovať na blížiaci sa koniec podpory inštalovaných rozšírení, ktoré podporujú iba ...

If you search for simple utility apps on #google's play store it will almost always give you a bunch of options that contain ads or ask for unnecessary permissions.
F-Droid is an alternative app store for android devices which exclusively lists apps published under the AGPL (a #copyleft / free-software / open-source license). It's possible to install F-Droid on a normal Android OS via its APK, but that can be intimidating.
Most of the apps on F-Droid are *also* available on the play store. So, even if you aren't ready to fully switch out of Google's ecosystem, you can still use F-Droid's search as a better way to find options that are (in my experience) free of ads and surveillance.
Each app features a page which links to their source code, which usually has a README file, which usually points to their page on the play store.
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
To jo, dnes to bylo dobré chlázení. Po dvaceti minutách jízdy začalo pršet.
