@accessibleandroid That's not true. The Pixel 8 (and all other non-Samsung Android 11+ devices) will support Gemini AI image descriptions, but it won't be done on-device.
Today's prize for on-brand academic behaviour goes to the School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of Glasgow, for disguising their building as a chalkboard.
(I'm informed that the elements were collected from working chalkboards in staff offices.)
Been mulling over this article/research paper sent out by @Researchbuzz yesterday about how users do everyday tasks on the computer
"Everyday tasks with computers are not only frustrating but so difficult that a person’s cognitive abilities are predictive of their task completion rates."
Which at first sounds like "Yeah that makes sense" but put another way, there's a barrier to doing basic stuff on computers and that barrier is complex user interfaces.

"Svet má mnoho tvárí, kto sa z nich vysomári? pýtal sa básnik Miloš Žiak niekedy ku koncu normalizácie. Ale aby sme sa nielen trochu „vysomárili“, ale vedeli aj správne reagovať, potrebujeme odpoveď, kam „smeruje“ dnešná vláda." 1/3 ~ #BorisZala dennikn.sk/4174025/potrebujeme…
TODAY, for our Lost Internet series, @tomscocca considers his long-ago personal blog. "In the years between then and today, readers became concrete—concrete, specific, and, in meaningful quantities, hostile." flaminghydra.com/the-you-dot-c…
Ich zitiere: "Schon 2017 schrieb die AfD in ihrem Papier zur Flüchtlingspolitik davon, »irreguläre Migration über das Mittelmeer« stoppen zu wollen. Seither hat der Begriff seinen Weg in die vermeintliche Mitte der Bundespolitik gefunden. Jens Spahn und Friedrich Merz verwenden ihn zum Beispiel nur allzu gern, schließlich fand er sogar seine Aufnahme in den Koalitionsvertrag der Ampel-Parteien."
Niemand sollte diesen rechten Begriff verwenden, weder die Politiker noch die Tagesschau. Damit leisten diejenige, die ihn verwenden nur Vorschub für die Sprache und Themen der #noAfD.
Problém sa vyjasňuje. Apka, ani stránka v mobile nejde prihlásenie iba na mojej wifi. Na inej wifi alebo na mobilných dátach sa prihlási. Ale pritom na Pc na mojej wifi ide. 😁 Záhada nad záhady

Just another example which highlights the fallacy of tech being neutral/apolitical
I’m all for competition and alternatives to our current banking systems, institutions, and policies but what we can’t ignore is that we’ve failed future generations when we lie about the risks
Hear the story of how @AppleVis nearly closed down and our new partnership with @bemyeyes came about, as myself and @Thomas_domville were joined by Bryan and Hans to talk through it all, answer questions, and look to the future. #Accessibility AppleVis Extra 99: Inside the AppleVis Acquisition; A Conversation with Be My Eyes | AppleVis applevis.com/podcasts/applevis…
@JeffBishop Not that I necessarily see this as something which is likely to happen but what would happen if there were ever accessibility issues, no matter how unintended, with an update of the Be My Eyes app. Would BME allow AppleVis the freedom to point this out in a review or forum post??
@DavidGoldfield @JeffBishop That's an excellent question! We discussed this in detail during our recent podcast interview with the Be My Eyes team. Yes, we are completely free to critique Be My Eyes if their app is inaccessible or for any other reasons that warrant discussion on AppleVis. They will not interfere with or influence our team and their opinions. I hope this reassures everyone that AppleVis and its community can freely express any necessary criticisms towards Be My Eyes without fear of suppression.
Let's recap how the clock works shall we? At midnight, a new day starts, so the time gets zeroed to 00:00, at least here in Europe. The clock value gets increased every minute all the way to 23:59 after which the day is concluded and a new day starts.
So if you claim that a ticket is valid from the time of first check-in till 00:00 on the same day, the validity interval is actually negative or zero at best. 🙄
@partim yes, I think validity till 24:00 would make it clear that it goes till the end of that particular day. Also using time values like 00:01 and 23:59 makes it much more clear for everyone without harming the validity much 😉
@partim i thought i saw something about japanese timetables running from something like 04:00 to 27:00 so the hours after midnight count as part of the preceding day
but some brief searchengineering suggests i might have been misled … or it might have been oldskool tv scheduling, dunno
Check your IP cameras: There's a new Mirai botnet on the rise
Yet another Mirai-family botnet growing by exploiting vulnerabilities in end-of-life devices, highlighting the importance of replacing EOL devices.
Depending on the device and its hardware, users _may_ be able to flash a different operating system or firmware onto a device that is no longer being maintained by the manufacturer to "extend its life."
I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.
Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.
In just over 8 days (12 September) you can watch the twelfth edition of @inclusivedesign24 #id24, a free online event that requires no payment, no sign-up, and no wading through overt product pitches: inclusivedesign24.org/2024/sch…
Just look at that schedule and those great topics and speakers.
Set up a viewing party. Binge watch them again over the weekend. Participate in real-time to ask questions.
