We announced that we are sunsetting unauthenticated media access on matrix.org just 2 months ago, and already 60% of requests are now using the new authenticated endpoints! We’re grateful to and proud of the ecosystem for moving so quickly 🚀
We’re on track to hit nearly 100% by August 28th, but some fixes and releases will be landing awfully close to that deadline – so we’re moving the deadline back one week to September 4th.

The recording for my talk from Berlin Mini GUADEC about the GNOME STF project is now online! Probably the talk with the least preparation and sleep I've ever given, but hopefully interesting nevertheless.

I'm very sad that @sonny was not allowed to give the talk with me as planned. He is the heart and soul of the STF project, and none of this would have been possible without him.

With apologies to those who come at me every few months to complain that some of my toots have #hashtags within the contents instead of "after the contents", this is an argument that can never be won, as I illustrate below.
I'd rather see screen reader applications (or a11y-aware #Mastodon clients) automatically solve the problem by removing the hashtag and/or colors for those who don't want them. Otherwise, you're petitioning each individual instead of fixing the tools. Ya heard me, #MastoDev
Oh no!
I heard you were supposed to in-line hashtags for screen readers.

Готовые средства обхода. Waujito написал своё решение под линукс (github.com/Waujito/youtubeUnbl…), которое направлено только на ютуб.
Также для Windows существует GoodbyeDPI от ValdikSS (github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI), под линукс еще есть zapret (github.com/bol-van/zapret).
Существует ByeDPI (github.com/hufrea/byedpi), который работает как прокси (Windows/Linux). Также есть версия ByeDPI под андроид (github.com/dovecoteescapee/Bye…), работает как "фейковый впн".
Советую прочитать подробный комментарий от ValdikSS о том, как использовать эти средства. (github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issue…)

A quick OptiSpeech update.
I started a training run last Friday in an Azure VM donated by a friend from India.
I implemented pitch control, which is analogous to inflection setting found in other TTS systems.
A demo website is coming soon that allows you to try the model with your own text.
WARNING THE MODEL IS STILL IN EARLY TRAINING. Only 190K steps, target is 1M steps.
In den 40er oder 50iger Jahren wurde das kleine Häuschen mit natürlichen und nachhaltigen Materialien aus der #Region gebaut. Dazu zählte auch die Farbe für den Sims/ Ringanker. Sie wurde in der nahegelegenen Stadt aus Naturmaterialien hergestellt. Diese #Farbenfabrik gibt es schon lange nicht mehr, aber ein Enthusiast knüpft an diese Tradition an.
Ich freue mich über den strahlenden Anstrich, den man damals Saalfelder Ocker nannte.

Yesterday I released version 0.8.0 of the rubbl_casatables Rust crate. If you've ever wanted to work with low-level CASA data using a compiled language that doesn't make you hate yourself, take a look! The blog post talks a bit more about container formats in general and why C++ makes me sad.

Push for CalDAV and CardDAV is getting real 😃 We're opening a new chapter of high-speed syncing for the whole open WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV ecosystem.
If you want to be the first of the first trying it out yourself you shouldn't miss @nextcloud Conference (Sept. 14 + 15 in Berlin) this year where we'll be revealing this to a broader audience for the very first time!
Here's a teaser of what's coming :)

The benefit of a protocol is to not have the dependency on a specific implementation of a vendor? So, any WebDav supporting server could be used by the same client implementation, right? Sorry, if I ask stupid questions.
A massive thanks to @davetaylor2112 for alerting me to the UK train ifo app for iOS, 'Nearly Departed.'
Why I didn't know about this or use it sooner is beyond me. It was invaluable yesterday. They also explicitly mention #VoiceOver on the main page, so props to them for that.
'Accessible
The app has been extensively tested with iOS accessibility features, such as VoiceOver and Dynamic Type.'
If you take a lot of national rail trains in the UK and use iOS, you need this app too.

I've seen a few people talking the new "Zen" browser, which is based off of Firefox instead of being yet another Chromium variant.
So I checked out their website[1]... the first big image shows a collection of browser windows. One is being used to browse birdsite, while the other is on GitHub's home page with a tagline "The world's leading AI-powered developer platform".
Their header has a "Useful Links" section which points to
1. Their privacy policy
2. Their **discord**
Then I looked at their privacy policy and apparently if you want to contact the dev team your options are:
1. again, their discord
2. github
Folks, I'm just gonna go ahead and say you should skip this one.

Ahora, mucha más gente puede generar «contenidos» (odio la palabra, pero la uso a propósito aquí). Se nota en

Pero también hay vigías del sector de los creativos que dicen que la facturación está disminuyendo. En un entorno de freelances explotados, esta vuelta de tuerca puede ser la última. (🧵)

in reply to lebout2canap ⏚ • • •@lebout2canap The async annotations are a new marker for GObject-Introspection, like the ones we have for memory ownership.
This allows bindings like JavaScript and Python (and maybe Rust) to automatically map `foo()`/`foo_finish()` methods to their native async/await syntax.
