Challenge: How many questions will it take the new Freedom Scientific AI chat bot to give me something totally ridiculous? fscompanion.freedomscientific.…
Answer, only one. It just told me that R and Shift+R can be used to navigate to the next/previous slider on the Web.
On the more amusing side, it was also perfectly happy to tell me that NVDA+N can be used to access the NVDA menu, and that I should quit JAWS and switch to NVDA first. A real shame we can't share the conversation...

“It was May 8th 2020 for the third time, and Ryan had already caused two traffic accidents.”

Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, superpowered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.
Ryan only sees different routes; and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending... no matter how many loops it takes.

Skyper 💻🎧☕📖

As a reminder, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted e-mails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipient's public key. This issue has been brought up to the Tuta team 6 years ago...

So, maybe less "we're the most secure e-mail provider in the world" and more concrete security 🙃

Getting chased by a stupid AI company for a (claimed) royalty free image on my blog that I obtained from pixabay.

I replaced it immediately. It was not important, Now using another royalty free image...

I get crap like this all the time because of all the images on the #osspodcast site

I know a lot about copyright (or at least I think I do), so it was easy to just ignore the mails

I imagine a lot of normal people freak out and comply

Sadly there's no realistic recourse here. Even if they domain gets shut down, they'll just start again with a new one

Back when Windows 10 was first released and for several years after, Microsoft provided a tool allowing you to show and hide updates if there were updates that were causing problems, called wushowhide. This tool is hard to find and the platform it is built on is now deprecated, so I wrote this simple Windows program to hide any unwanted Windows updates. Simply run it, wait for it to list all your available updates, and type the numbers of the updates to hide, seperated by spaces.
Note: Due to how the Windows update API works, this program requires administrative privileges to run.

V #BBC Shaimaa Khalil:
The Japanese firm which apparently makes the walkie-talkies says production on that model stopped 10 years ago.

Icom describes the IC-V82 as a handheld radio which was exported to the Middle East from 2004 to 2014 and has not been shipped since then. The manufacturing of the batteries has also stopped, it says.

The company says it isn't possible to confirm whether the IC-V82s that exploded in yesterday's attacks were shipped directly from Icom, or via a distributor.

V #BBCNews Tom Bateman:
Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the US was "still gathering the information" about the exploding pagers.

But behind the scenes, there will be another scramble in Washington to help protect Israel, this time from a potential response from Hezbollah.

Nevertheless, there is again a barely concealed sense of exasperation at the chance the attacks could amount to a significant miscalculation.

Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂

Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.

We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

Tři postřehy z povodní

Letošní velké povodně se naší rodině vyhnuly. Přesto jsem jejich průběh sledoval, protože v zasažených oblastech jsem měl vzdálenější rodinu, kolegy, známé. Jak už to u takových tragických událostí bývá, vyvolaly celou řadu diskusí: o schopnosti krajiny zadržovat vodu, budování přehrad, polderů atd. Mě ale pohledem ajťáka zaujaly tři věci.
