Both Firefox and Microsoft Edge allow you to press Control + Shift +S to save part of a web-page or the full site. as a screenshot, .png file. This is quite interesting to me. I'm not sure if the selection part is accessible via keyboard to choose part of the page, but this was a random shortcut I bumped into, one which from my testing does not appear to exist on Google Chrome, unless the shortcut key is different.
TIL conditional formatting in #LibreOffice calc goes wrong when your compare values are on another sheet and you save as xls file: the sheet reference gets dropped
Maybe it's a xls limitation, and mybe I should check the resulting xls before mailing it 🙄

I haven't even finished my coffee yet but I've already come across a bunch of bad takes on the telegram thing today.
I've already boosted this, but I'm begging everyone to read this post by @evacide before forming a strong opinion on this:

NIST has been working on a "Digital Identity Guidelines" document for a while, with the second draft being prepared for its final review:

It looks like they want to include facial recognition as one of the options, but they insist that any solutions will need to take privacy into account.
I'm glad they're considering that, but I don't see any mention of relatively simple methods for fooling these systems, as discussed in this article (among others):

Hackers Fool Facial Recognition Into Thinking I’m Mark Zuckerberg
Using a new technique, researchers say they can make AI systems misidentify people by adding small bits of data to the images.Todd Feathers (VICE)

I'm not American, nor do I have any particular industry experience with facial recognition other than a broad knowledge that biometric authentication is very often a terrible idea.
Perhaps someone on fedi who has a bigger stake in this wants to draft some open letter or something? I will happily add my signature to anything that raises these concerns in a well-considered manner.
I'll probably write something short if nothing substantial is organized before that deadline, but it would probably be more effective coming from a broader coalition.
Allowing police officers to submit LLM-written reports reveals a remarkable misunderstanding of what LLMs do, a profound indifference to the notion of integrity in the communications of law enforcement with the justice system, or both.
Given how readily subject to suggestion human witnesses—including police officers—are known to be, this is a disaster.
Yes, police reports aren't always the most accurate, but introducing an additional layer of non-accountability is bad.

When meta glasses work to read something, they work very very well. But, when they fail, they fail spectacularly. For some reason, I could not get them to read me something that was right in front of me, the same exact thing I'd done before with other documents I had sitting before me. And other appps did much better.
It's a reminder that this device hasn't been enhanced for blind people's specific needs. It's a device/platform that happens to have features that help.

Looking for a #gnome #linux suggestion. I'm running #debian on my laptop with Gnome. I'm looking for how to configure a Gnome hot key to do something I'm used to doing.
On a Mac or on Windows, Alt-Tab cycles through open applications. This works the same on Gnome. On both Windows and Mac there's another key combination (Ctrl-Tab on Windows, I think; Cmd-~ on Mac) that will let you cycle through windows of the currently focused application. If I have 2 or 3 terminal windows open, I can press Cmd-~ to bring different ones in focus. These keystrokes don't seem to be working in Gnome. I can't find a key sequence to switch between VSCodium windows, or terminal windows, or Firefox windows.
What's the trick?
the shortcuts are Super + Tab for switching between apps, and Super + the key above Tab, depending on your keyboard layout.

"Trudeau says Canada will slap big tariffs on Chinese EVs "
In other news Governing for the lobbies. The Govt already killed the Canadian made Zenn car a decade and a half ago.
And nothing in sight to force the lobbies to produce smaller and cheaper EV.
(putting aside that EV are not the golden hammer of climate action)
This is more complex than governing for the lobbies. This is not only to entertain the local economy (feeding the local workers rather than these at the other end of the planet), but also to prevent dependence, dumping, takeovers.
But I hope that there will be incentives for local <25k$ cars; while a good portion of people could use active or collective transportation most of the time, we do need cars, sometimes, and we'd better use energy-efficient ones that don't suffocate our closed, non-infinite atmosphere.
I would like to thank the big Internet monopolies of Google and Microsoft for killing the open email system so that we can focus on used closed proprietary silos that make it so difficult to do anything with.
This is the Internet we all envisioned.
Trudeau: We don't want to take any risks of Canada being flooded with (checks notes) affordable electric cars.
The quote:
> Federal regulations set up by Transport Canada to approve low-speed vehicles (LSVs) for public road use excluded the ZENN and other NEVs from Canadian roads. ZENN's battle with Transport Canada over LSV regulations was periodically mentioned in Canadian news.
Until we have essentially "solved" the climate crisis, the mass provision and use of AI is immoral. Their energy usage is simply indefensibly high.
Same goes for cryptocurrencies and blockchain of course, but that's both more widely understood, and no longer the thing that businesses are eagerly throwing money at, fearful of missing out.
Do you still use #Gmail?
Answer not listed? Let us know in the comments!
- Yes, I need it for Android. (32%, 150 votes)
- Yes, because I like it. (9%, 42 votes)
- No, why would I? (58%, 273 votes)
Unfortunately, Android doesn't work without a GMail account. I look forward to the day Google's monopoly would come to an end.
However, I haven't been using Gmail as a communication means for at least 4-5 years, but strictly to log in to the Play Store.
Same is true for all the other Google "free" products: Search, Maps, YouTube, Drive, Calendar, Pay, etc.

#Telegram and #Durov are once again in the media, so I translated my May piece about the service to English:
Telegram is neither "secure" nor "encrypted"
rys.io/en/171.html
Calling Telegram "secure" or "encrypted" is misleading, and is journalistic malpractice.
Telegram itself seems to mislead about it on purpose.
Telegram's encryption protocol is suspicious and transmits cleartext device identifiers with every message.
They have been called out for it many times, and refuse to change.

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..
I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.
So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.
You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici…
We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.
