Wenn #Bus oder #Bahn wieder mal auf sich warten lassen - gute Gelegenheit um etwas in Sachen #Barrierefreiheit des #ÖPNV zu tun:
Handy raus, #OpenStop starten und #Daten sammeln, die Menschen mit Behinderungen helfen können.
Das @komin@bildung.social hat dazu Info's:

I just signed this petition from the #InternetArchive (@internetarchive) and hope you will too.
change.org/p/let-readers-read-…
Background from IA:
"We are disappointed in today’s opinion about the Internet Archive’s digital lending of books that are available electronically elsewhere. We are reviewing the court’s opinion and will continue to defend the rights of #libraries to own, lend, and preserve books."

Update. I recommend @mmasnick's good take on the ruling against the @internetarchive and #CDL.
techdirt.com/2024/09/05/second…
"What would you think if an author told you they would have written a book, but they wouldn’t bother because it would be available to be borrowed for free from a library? You’d probably think they were delusional. Yet that argument has now carried the day."
Update. "[University] #libraries across the country, from Carnegie Mellon…to the U of California system, turned to what’s known as [#ControlledDigitalLending, #CDL] in 2020, which gave students a way to borrow books that weren’t otherwise available. Those programs are small in scale and largely experimental but part of a broader shift in modernizing the university library. But the appeals court ruling could upend those programs."

I did some quick research about Apple Inc.'s financials earlier today and figured I might as well post it here before closing those tabs:
Market Capitalization (aka marketcap) is the value of one share of a company multiplied by the number of shares in existence.
Apple's marketcap is currently sitting around 3.358 Trillion USD [1].
For context, this is approximately 183% of the marketcap of Alphabet (Google), which is 1.835 Trillion [2], or roughly 216% the expected 2025 budget of the US military
[3]As of the end of Q2 2024 Apple had 25.565 Billion USD in cash or cash equivalents

Earlier this year the EU issued apple a fine of 1.8 Billion Euro (~1.98 Billion USD) for abusive practices
[1]Google just lost an appeal [2] for a fine of 2.4 Billion EUR (~2.65 Billion USD) which was originally issued in 2017.
Meanwhile, another case has been going on with Apple since 2016 concerning 13 Billion Euros (~14.35 Billion USD) in back taxes owed to Ireland

How is Matrix changing the way the Swedish public sector communicate? Kenneth and Anna will tell us everything about SAFOS at The Matrix Conference in Berlin next week!
Kenneth and Anna from Försäkringskassan, one of our customers, will be in Berlin on 20 Sept showcasing SAFOS, a cloud-based secure communications platform built on Matrix that sets a new standard for Sweden’s public sector.

Really need to finish up the bureaucracy and knowledge-base work necessary to "officially" launch Matrix at Linköping University.
We've been running it for internal communication for many years at this point after all, and it is open - albeit undocumented - for all employees and students.
If someone is able to run curl's test suite on Windows locally, maybe they can help to identify what makes several tests so slow and ultimately cause CI jobs to timeout and fail.
I've had the pleasure of mentoring two fantastic Outreachy interns over the summer. Together they completed two usability studies for the GNOME project. This is the first study, which tested a set of media apps (Loupe, Showtime and Decibels):

Есть один писатель-колумнист, которого я очень и очень люблю. Зовут его Джейсон Парджин, для друзей - Дэвид Вонг. Помимо книг, он много писал для сайта американского комедийного журнала Cracked, который я в свое время почитывал.
Его фишка в том, чтобы говорить максимально циничные вещи максимально бескомпромиссным и жестким языком, чтобы сделать читателя немного лучше как личность. Короче говоря, чувак наваливает базы по хардкору.
Один из его очерков, прочитанный еще в институте, несмотря на то, что его просто неприятно читать (даже скорее благодаря этому) на многие годы определил мое отношение к себе и к миру, вытянув меня буквально из бездны циничной апатии. Я регулярно его кидаю людям, которым надо услышать, Вот он: cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truth…
Но в этот раз я хочу поговорить не о нем, а о другой статье.

According to news media: today, a billionaire is being taken into space, where the crew will open the rocket door and put him outside.
This seems like a great start, and I hope that the remaining 1,780+ billionaires left here on earth will be following suit soon.

A tohle je taky na facku⬇️článek z roku 21, a už tehdy ta hovada dělala přesně to samé co dělají i nyní. Na vývěsce u nás taky prelepuji cokoliv.

We're getting ready to start creating the #GoToSocial 0.17.0 release candidates, finally :)
We're now running this instance on the latest snapshot, to try stuff out and ensure it's working correctly. So far, it seems good!
To celebrate, here's a couple of MP3s, since it's possible to upload those now. Enjoy! And sit tight for the release candidates in a week or two ^_^

Hi Team Tuta,
Are the Tuta servers down at the moment?
I tried checking on isitdownrightnow.com/ but that didn't work.
Apparently, according to the downforeveryoneorjustme.com website, the isitdownrightnow.com/ website is down, so I can't check if Tuta.com is down.
I'll work out how to check if Tuta.com is up... or down... soon. Just give me a minute for my puny human brain to process things and catch up.
🚲Um dos legados que vai deixar este mandato em Santiago de Compostela é o numero de novas ciclovias 👏 O reto não era difícil, porque em todos estes anos era uma matéria pendente. Todo um logro para um bipartito em minoria 💪
Ademais, muitas das obras não são grandes obras, mas pequenas intervenções de pintado, elevado de passos de peões...

Znáte produkty digitoo.ai?
Kamarád uvažuje o vytěžovacím OCR sw na faktury do účetnictví a první s čím se u jejich trial verze setkal je, že MS ten instalátor nepovažuje za důvěryhodnou binárku. 🤣
Data prý na Azure Cloud, šifrovaná, hmmm hmmm. Já nerad cloudy a nerad tzv. AI.
Sekce "Odpovědnost" z jejich VOP přiložena.
Digitoo je dobre. V soucasny pravni uprave se nic moc lepsiho vymyslet neda, ta firma si nejak musi nastavit SLA mensi nez 100% (ktere se explicitne predpokladaji).
Jinak public cloud je proste server od velkeho poskytovatele, nekde to byt musi, tak proc ne treba na Azure.

in reply to Jen Gentleman • • •FWIW, the UI of the snipping tool is quite confusing with a screen reader, at least with NVDA.
What would be great is something like the UI for starting screen sharing in Zoom, with the application windows being list items you can select, and the options to capture system audio and mix in narration from the microphone.
