Aww this read made me sad but I do like his ending. I hope it comes to pass as he imagines it but time will tell I suppose. I'd miss #KYW if it went but as I say that I feel hypocritical because I spend more time listening to radio from the UK than my local area so there we are.
@robini71 I just found out about WCBS this morning and I was shocked. With the plethora of news channels and apps, maybe an all-news radio station doesn't have the relevance that it once did?
I dunno. Those American news stations are quite superficial. They seem usually to operate on a 20 minute clock. I can see AI making this format much easier to produce. The algorithm can pick the stories, parse them for good broadcasting copy, and put them in a queue to be read by AI using good news voices that have been licensed. You would have live talent on a retainer for big stories that require intensive coverage.

Before I purchase a pair of AI glasses, I am interested to know what type of glasses Google Glass is going to be moving to. As I understand it, the current Google Glass Envision is using is no longer in production. What will Google be using for their glasses?
is the talk liable to be made available online at some point after the fact? It sounds very much like something I'd like to get my coworkers who are revamping our vuln management process to watch.
Actually CWE is kinda helpful as it provides a descriptive approach to the issues, while most of the others you mentioned are mostly enumerating existing entries. Sometimes even with such generic texts that entries become interchangeable.
@benbe I believe the CWE idea is sound and fine, but I'm not sure it actually works or serves much purpose in the end. A little like time reports: there's a thinking somewhere the data will be useful for something but in the end it never is...
I like CWE for its documentation as it serves as a nice educational resource when teaching colleges or discussing requirements. Less from the identify-this-vuln side of things.
The coming EU Cyber Resilience Act will affect all Open Source projects. The Eclipse Foundation has created the Open Regulatory Compliance working group together with a list of other Open Source organisations to jointly develop best current practises and have a continuous dialog with regulatory bodies.
Mikael Barbero will present this important workgroup at the NSSS24!
Why I switched to LibreOffice. When I open a file in excel (let's say a csv), the app will make all kinds of assumptions on datatypes and and formatting, and just apply those changes. !!Noo msexcel, I DON'T WANT you to drop leading zero's off my numbers-string..!!
Libreoffice will also see those choices, but it will always ask first. The functional difference between the 2 in a nutshell..
@mfraz74 Hi, if you think you've discovered a bug in LibreOffice, our QA community would appreciate a quick bug report at bugs.documentfoundation.org – Please provide details about your setup (LibreOffice version, operating system, steps to reproduce, and screenshot if relevant). Thanks!
I really wish LinkedIn would improve the accessibility of their iOS app. The first thing that comes to mind is that I have to press a load more button every time I want to view another group of articles on the home screen. Why should I have to do this? As far as I'm aware, this is the only main stream platform that exhibits this annoying behaviour.
@douglawlor Everything about linkedin sucks to me. It's a poor platform in many ways. Accessibility, usability, even trying to find a way to quickly post from the site is nasty.
@FreakyFwoof I honestly can't stand using it. That was only one of the things. If i took the time I could go on for hours about it. It is just an absolutely horrible platform to use both on mobile and desktop.
@douglawlor @FreakyFwoof I'm in agreement. I maintain an active presence on LinkedIn as it's a great tool for network but it's a mixed bag when it comes to accessibility.
@bmoore123 @jfayre @douglawlor @FreakyFwoof I'm glad I waited for someone else to apply the snark. It must be all the prep for GAAD that's preventing him from making these common-sense changes.
@ppatel @bmoore123 @jfayre @douglawlor @FreakyFwoof Las time I saw him was at a local conference. He was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, and everyone would approach him one by one. My friend went up to him and asked if he could kiss the ring. Lol!
@jfayre @douglawlor @mcourcel @ppatel @bmoore123 I was at Worcester college with him, and even shared a room at some points as well. Glad to hear it's not him.
@mcourcel @bmoore123 @jfayre @FreakyFwoof @douglawlor @ppatel Many years ago, I contacted LinkedIn's accessibility team once or twice with feedback specific to accessibility. I would then hear back from them right away with a very friendly and personalized response but then nothing would get fixed. What that tells me is that, at least at that time, LinkedIn had a very dedicated and passionate accessibility team but that there was a disconnect between their accessibility team communicating the feedback and the actual development teams applying that feedback. In other words, I don't necessarily blame their accessibility experts for dropping the ball. I suspect that the ball is being dropped once it changed hands.
@mcourcel @bmoore123 @jfayre @FreakyFwoof @douglawlor Ah but they prided themselves on having accessibility integrated into their development process. Things have clearly changed.
@ppatel @mcourcel @bmoore123 @jfayre @FreakyFwoof @douglawlor If LinkedIn claimed that accessibility was baked into their development process I would strongly disagree with that claim and I'd be happy to demonstrate why I believe this is not the case. It's a shame as they're such a valuable resource, which is why I maintain an active presence on that platform, but I would never pay for their premium plan, partially because of their accessibility challenges. To be fair, I haven't communicated with them about this in some time and so we as users do need to do that to do our part in at least trying to affect positive change.
it also looks like Microsoft is blocking your domains again I tried multiple times to contact a support Mail and never got anything back but using GMail worked fine. So far I can confirm for 2 totally different companies.
If you want #XMPP and the convenience of a free service, including automatic contact discovery, a catchy name and iOS+Android apps, quicksy.im is here (from the author of Conversations).
"Nach Recherchen von CORRECTIV konnten mindestens 34 frühere hauptamtliche Mitarbeiter der Stasi in Reihen der AfD identifiziert werden – alles Männer. ... [Jene waren] linientreue Anhänger des SED-Staates. Sie hatten sich bekannt, als Schild und Schwert der Partei, die sozialistische Herrschaft in Ostdeutschland durchzusetzen. Jetzt sind diese Menschen auch in der AfD."
This is a powerful, well-written article by a gifted leader who would make a great CEO of Vision Australia herself if she wanted the role. She has inspired me to talk more openly about my own experience. It is tempting for leaders with the experience for these roles to bite their tongue and think that things will surely be better next time. But our silence is bought with the promise of a tomorrow that never comes. The time has come for us to take on these agencies, and I do wonder if one way to do that is for a group of us to get together and take it to the United Nations under the Convention on the Rights of Disabled People. I applied for the Blind Low Vision NZ CEO role last year. I did so with compelling credentials. I am a former Board chair and senior manager of that organisation, I have CEO experience in a national disability service provider. I am internationally recognised as a leader in the blind community and have an in-depth knowledge of this sector. I’m considered an expert in the critical area of technology as it effects blind people, an area which is transforming our lives and has the potential to do so much more. I was not successful. Instead, a sighted person was appointed with no knowledge of blindness or the sector. Yet another opportunity was lost to stop the steady erosion of blindness services. A chance was missed to send a signal to the community, and particularly to younger blind people, that blind people can and do lead. Yet more damage was done to the organisation's moral authority. After all, how can you possibly champion blind people as attractive employment prospects when you won't even walk your own talk and appoint a blind person yourself to lead the organisation? Indeed, until recently, for some considerable time there were 0 blind people on Blind Low Vision NZ's Executive Leadership Team. New Zealand’s situation is very similar to the Australian situation so clearly summarised by Emma. We also have a Board Chair with consumer credentials who has discarded the values that got him there. When I highlighted this issue far less forcefully at the time it happened to me, some accused me of sour grapes. So let me be clear. I would have been delighted if a qualified blind candidate from anywhere in the world had been given the role. This is about a principle that, in not speaking up for it, is costing blind New Zealanders dearly in terms of service quality. This is happening all over the world, and it has to stop. Do people for a moment think that if an organisation dedicated to serving women had been led by a succession of men for five years let alone a hundred years, there wouldn’t be a huge outcry? Nor would, or should, members of ethnic minorities tolerate organisations serving them being led by someone who doesn’t know how it truly is to face their challenges first-hand. It wouldn't be right for them, and it is not right for us. Enough is enough. Change only starts when the silence stops. linkedin.com/pulse/missed-oppo…
Me entero de que hoy se cumplen 35 años del lanzamiento de esta #canción de #DepecheMode. La conocí tiempo después. Nunca tuve el álbum: había traducido mal el título, #Violator, y por mucho tiempo creí que su tema era algo prohibido y obsceno, imposible de justificar en la casa familiar. Además, no tenía dinero. Escuchaba la canción cuando iba a visitar una tienda de discos y comics en mi ciudad natal. Oh tiempo tus pirámides y todo eso. youtu.be/u1xrNaTO1bI?si=MXmQqa…
