Bon sinon, Microsoft m’informe que « Le 16 septembre 2024, les applications qui utilisent une technologie de connexion moins sécurisée ne pourront plus accéder à votre messagerie. », or j’ai un compte Outlook (oui je sais), qui sert peu mais dont j’ai néanmoins l’usage, que pour le moment je consulte avec Thunderbird.

Je n’ai pas envie d’installer l’appli Outlook pour des raisons de nik, et si le compte est pas dans mon logiciel de mail je vais absolument oublier son existence dans le néant et ne pas penser à aller le consulter

Donc : est‐ce qu’il y a une solution pour qu’il continue de fonctionner avec Thunderbird (ou est‐ce que en fait je m’en fais pour rien et ça va continuer à fonctionner très bien ?) ; si non est‐ce que vous avez des recommendations de logiciel de mail qui fonctionnera avec un compte Outlook ?

Edit : On me dit que en fait c’est bon ça va continuer à marcher tout bien et j’ai pas à m’en faire, c’est parfait, merci Masto pour ton efficacité 😁

Du coup s’il y a des gens qui sont aussi dans ce cas, quelqu’un a eu la gentillesse d’expliquer en détail la manipulation à faire dans les réponses, et je vous remets le lien ici directement si jamais : mastodon.social/@AkkaLyo/11314…

New blogpost: Thunderbird, Nextcloud, calendar invitations, and unwanted html email with non-working 'confirm acceptance' links

Last week, someone kindly flagged a problem with how I'd got calendar invitations set up, and it was annoying me.

So, over the weekend, I fixed it :)

This was a great article, and we hope this advice helps a lo of Thunderbird users!


Reading through Mozillas jobs page: "Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI", "Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads", "Program Manager, AI 360", "Principal Product Manager, Generative AI","Sr Staff Fullstack Engineer, Anonym", "Senior Manager, Sales (Anonym)"

I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads.

in reply to Sarah Jamie Lewis

I'm not surprised that they are shutting down their mastodon instance "experiment" with little fanfare - it is very clear that open social networks between human beings do not fit within their vision of what the internet should be.
in reply to Sarah Jamie Lewis

Genuine question.

There's a risk (it may be somewhat small but it exists) that Google might be forced to cut their funding to Mozilla due to antitrust. This would affect over 90% of their revenue.

What else are they supposed to do? Just let things happen and abandon Firefox once Google's AI and ad money stops flowing in?



The goal of the CAQ is to make public transportation inaccessible... that's not cost saving anything.

at least from what I'm reading, my work laptop or workflow won't explode after upgrading it to Sequoia, especially unlike the disaster with VMWare breaking that one time.

We’ve made the hard decision to end our experiment with Mozilla.social and will shut down the Mastodon instance on December 17, 2024. Thank you for being part of the Mozilla.social community and providing feedback during our closed beta. You can continue to use Mozilla.social until December 17. Before that date, you can download your data here (mozilla.social/settings/export), and migrate your account to another instance following these instructions (support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/m…).

Believing in everything and nothing at the same time. As a former Mozillian, I feel that you have totally lost the plot and only represent despair. Despair that the org doesn't believe in its mission.

But I know you never listened to people anyway, so what's the point?

"Ever since we shutdown mozilla.social and disengaged from Mastodon, the sentiment analysis on our social media posts regarding our AI initiatives shows positive reactions went up a staggering 857%! I guess everyone on X seems to like them! A great win for our sharehol—I mean, our sponsors!"

Per the recommendation of one of the listeners to the podcast where I regularly co-host, I have bought the Anker Prime 27650 mah powerbank. Pretty nifty: it has a Bluetooth LE module and by pairing it with the dedicated app, you can read useful info from it like the current charge percentage, how much time is left until full charge, how much voltage goes on each port etc. As a bonus, it can be triggered to make a sound so that you can find it easier and, by extension, any backpack, bag or other container you left it in. Pretty great for any #Blind person looking for the next useful gadget to add to their tech backpack. #Accessibility #A11y

@sofquipeut That's true. Should have indicated that in my post. Hopefully there will be some discounts either for Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Christmas.

in reply to Paweł Masarczyk

It's an interesting product though. I'll add it to my wishlist! I was hoping it was cheaper than the accessible Energrid power bank. :)
in reply to Paweł Masarczyk

@oxytude lol well said man! I've just proposed your idea for our traditional Christmas episode, "accessible Christmas gifts! :)
in reply to Paweł Masarczyk

@kaveinthran Is the 27000 model really $200 wow also, 27000 MAH may not be allowed on an airplane? Wonder if the lesser prime models also have bluetooth?


Honestly, one of the things I appreciate most about Mac OS is the fact that a new OS version came out, and I had an opportunity to talk to a friend, who is using a lot of the same software as me, to ask whether anything broke accessibility-wise.

Everything seems to be ok this time and I'm probably going to upgrade either today or tomorrow, but if there were any deal-breakers, I could hold off for as long as I needed. Windows does not give me that luxury.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

What broke is RIM, due to the constant permission prompts. And something else on the remote assistance thing got broken as well.
in reply to x0

@x0 Yeah, I'm aware of that, fortunately I don't think I'll have a need for it anytime soon.

It's right up with Rogue Amoeba in the "incredible technical feat, I almost can't believe anybody actually made this work on Mac, but God will it break" territory.

@x0
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

I'm curious why Windows wouldn't give you that chance? Just because you have no WIndows friends that use what you use? :)
in reply to Florian

@zersiax No, because it forces updates on you and there's little you can do about it without going "off the beaten path", piracy, or both.

Yes, I know Windows can be fixed with third-party utilities of dubious provenience, which are probably safe, probably won't crash your system and will probably keep working for a while.

in reply to Florian

@zersiax I really don't like treating my computer like a precious and sickly pet that one has to care for, lest it die in agony. I want to be as close to a stock config and a stock system as possible, with the smallest possible amount of moving parts that can break. Every deviation increases the chance of previously unheard-of bugs, weird system interactions and getting into uncharted territory. I don't think I could use Windows well with that attitude.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

I dunno... thats kinda how I use mine and I've been ok so far, but I don't go out of my way to install things like ExplorerPatcher and ClassicShell and such
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@zersiax and with that said, I should look into Nix more.

After all, if I need to make changes, I'd rather make those changes to a text file that I can keep in git, properly version and document with copious comments, and then let some piece of software make my system reflect that file.

I do wish those were simpler. Easier to type. And stuff like Microsoft Office. Want to insert a file, Alt + N, A, F. Or Excel, Alt F, I, S, H. See, people tell me that Emacs is awful, and so many keys, all that. When Windows programs are just as bad.

I’m currently working on a new Python WebKitGTK browser for GNOME. I’m aiming for it to be a better foundation to work on than Epiphany which has a huge C codebase and some outdated UI patterns. :blobcat_engineer:

#GNOME

in reply to Jamie

As the project is growing, I'm deliberating whether Vala could be a better option for the project as it's more GObject oriented, it has stricter typing, and it's compiled. What do you think? :blobcatthinking:

#GNOME

  • Python (30%, 9 votes)
  • Vala (70%, 21 votes)

I've been mulling porting some UI from C to Vala. It does GObject really well and you don't need to buckle in another supply chain.

Please could anyone who understands regular expressions, particularly in the context of Power Rename give me a hand? I'm trying to prepend text. I put .* in the search field and (text)$1 in the replace field as instructed by two places. I've tried this with and without spaces and it totals the whole file name, leaving only my new text. Thanks for any help.


Please stop demonizing “AI”; the stuff you have a problem with isn’t AI research or AI tech, it’s a very small subset of that domain that (a)has ethical issues with training data sourcing and (b)is being horribly misused/way overly trusted

AI research is valuable and important, and MOST of it doesn’t have these problems. It’s doing things like increasing the reliability of cancer screenings, helping astronomers make better observations, improving assistive technology, accelerating medical research, etc.

Not all AI is “train a chat bot” or “train an image generator” for nefarious or stupid purposes



Just got word that my former employer and former team just got hit by layoffs 😢😢😢

Great people. Shitty timing

in reply to Merry Jerry 🎄🎅🕎⛄️❄️

I think I stopped to understand this (biz) world... if I ever understood it at all. I mean, couple of years ago it started to be obvious that IBM CIO wants to centralise the security / compliance functions back in US. Similar situation happened in Kyndryl and I've seen multiple layoffs of seasoned professionals. Meanwhile we hear about security personnel and talent shortage around the globe for multiple years in a row (well, decade and more). Still stories like this are popping up every now and then. Even worse, when you try LinkedIn, you see opentowork badges of those people everywhere.


I got stuck behind a confused Zoox this morning. No, I didn’t commute through Whoville, it’s Amazon’s driverless car thing.

It signaled left then moved right, blocked both lanes and stopped to fret.

A perfect metaphor for the AI strategy of a driverless company.

Okay, so I understand that AI is cool. I understand that we can make AI do a lot of things. But seriously. First, there's a model that turns HTML into Markdown. And granted, I haven't tried that one, and I probably should. And now this? Like, no one has heard of Pandoc anymore? Like I can literally write a Markdown file and pandoc -i presentation.md -o presentation.pptx. Something like that anyway. And get a presentation out of it. Or just import a Word document into PowerPoint. Or just use a Markdown file and arrow down through the bullet points if I don't *need* to be fansy.

I'm starting to kind of understand how wasteful people are with this kind of stuff.

It is very rewarding to see that after just 1 year of my ethnography on data centres in México (when nobody talked about this country), more people are now interested:

Stock tickers are a commonly sighted example of something ARIA live regions might be useful for. But has anyone actually ever seen this in the wild? Would #screenReader users actually want a stock ticker to ever be implemented in this way? #accessibility
in reply to James Scholes

nope. The places I want live events they don't happen and the places I do they don't.
in reply to Sean Randall

Many pages with stock tickers usually have more than one, and the updates would be so frequent as to be overwhelming (at least during market hours). So I'm just not clear on the expected user experience. Seems like someone was just reaching for an instance of information that changes a lot, and a bad example has propagated.
This entry was edited (2 months ago)
in reply to James Scholes

@cachondo yeah, unless there were quick keyboard shortcuts which gave control over injected live alerts and which tracked stocks have them, it would be more useful. Unfortunately it's easiest to use an example without considering the finer implementation details Thus if someone made that without thinking through what's cited, they'd make a horrible experience. Live regions only work if the dynamic content is timely, not overwhelming and context-aware
in reply to James Scholes

Yes I've seen it, for foreign exchange and not actual stocks but still, and it's an awful, terrible, insane idea.


Oi, now on the hunt for a macOS Sequoia ISO file. It's just not high-prio in my life RN, I bet the Internet Archive will eventually get one uploaded or something, and running Mac OS on a virtual machine is a bit like eating room-temperature icecream that you end up drinking mostly by the end.

Usually you install the installer app, and there's a folder you turn into an ISO image.
