Today is a special day for the @libreoffice community.

14 years ago, we decided to take a bold step and create LibreOffice, the best open source office suite.

Since then, we've managed to take LibreOffice to the top of the open source community and release 29 versions with incredible features and match our interoperability in the market.

Congratulations to the LibreOffice Community of developers, marketers, documenters, advocates, managers and, above all, our loyal users.

I'm staying in Sunnyvale and it looks like I might have tomorrow evening free. If anyone in the bay area would be interested in catching up, let me know.

Q: if you are currently a full-time software developer, have any specific results from software engineering research in the last 20 years changed how you analyze requirements, design or write code, deploy it, monitor it, organize teams, or track work? Please note: I'm not asking about indirect improvements (e.g., better static code analysis => better linting tools) or about impact of research in other fields (e.g., ML coding assistants). Thanks in advance for on-topic replies.

The complaint against LAPD for raiding a medical imaging place bc they thought it was a grow op, getting their rifle stuck to the MRI, and quenching the magnet is jaw dropping even for regular cop incompetence

scribd.com/document/774049009/…

(Edit: direct PDF link: fnord.cloud/s/cLfSXa4b8Szo4LN/… )

Based on his 15 years as an LAPD officer and twelve hours of narcotics training, and based upon the presence of security cameras (typical of any reasonable commercial business), tinted windows (a reasonable practice for any medical facility concerned with patient privacy), high power usage (as any diagnostic facility), the alleged odor of cannabis plants (in a busy shopping plaza with no prior reports), the absence of a cultivation permit (which no diagnostic healthcare facility would possess), and the presence of two men wearing identical company-branded shirts (unexpected of individuals involved in illegal cultivation), OFFICER FRANCO found probable cause for cannabis cultivation at the TARGET PREMISES
Considering the search yielded no live cannabis plants or any other contraband, and the detained employee had already been released, it was evident—or should have been—that any further action taken by the LAPD Officers would exceed the scope of the search warrant. 40. However, some LAPD Officers continued to roam freely throughout the TARGET PREMISES, casually engaging in conversation with one another. The whole operation was nothing short of a disorganized circus, with no apparent rules, procedures, or even a hint of coordination. 41. At 5:01 PM, an LAPD Officer was observed standing in front of the MRI office door, reading the sign that read, “Warning. Magnetic Field. High Frequency Yield. Metal Parts and Medical Instruments of All Types prohibited.” Additionally, the warning sign displayed photographs of items prohibited in the room, which included scissors, screwdrivers, keys, watches, and credit cards. 42. The LAPD Officer then proceeded to the end of the hallway and returned a few seconds later with another LAPD Officer.
Said LAPD officer, dangling a rifle in his right hand, with an unsecured strap, approached the MRI Office, glanced at the large warning sign on the door, reopened the door with his left hand and proceeded inside. 44. Expectedly, the magnetic force of the MRI machine attracted the LAPD Officer's loose rifle, securing it to the machine. 45. The MRI machine was equipped with a sealed emergency pull button labeled, "Caution, Emergency Use Only." This button was intended to be activated solely in the event of a genuine emergency, such as a health risk to a patient inside the machine, a fire, or an evacuation situation. 46. Rather than seeking assistance from the on-site employee, or waiting for the manager’s arrival, one of the LAPD Officers made the unilateral decision to break the seal and activate the emergency shutdown button, deactivating the MRI machine.
46. Rather than seeking assistance from the on-site employee, or waiting for the manager’s arrival, one of the LAPD Officers made the unilateral decision to break the seal and activate the emergency shutdown button, deactivating the MRI machine. 47. This action caused the MRI's magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine. 48. The LAPD Officer then grabbed his rifle, this time wearing the strap over his shoulder as he should have when he entered the MRI room, and proceeded to walk toward the entrance, leaving the magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office

The cryptocurrency "industry" is spending tens of millions to remove Ohio's Democratic senator. If this tips the balance in the Senate, the damage this will cause to our nation will be incalculable.

Crypto is a home for some of the worst slimeballs in the world. Now its key backers are working to make things much, much worse -- all for greed and screw everyone else.

They are loathsome. And unaccountable.

Today's rendition of the game "is this AI hype from 2024 or 1974"?

"In three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being. I mean a machine that will be able to read Shakespeare, grease a car, play office politics tell a joke, have a fight. At that point the machine will begin to educate itself with fantastic speed. In a few months it will be at genius level and a few months after its powers will be incalculable."

Minsky ~1970.

Some observations from Twitter:
Chappell Roan is super easy to understand: she’s a 26 yo who hates Donald Trump, but has watched hundreds of kids be killed in horrifying ways in Gaza for the last year on her iPhone, and Democrats supporting it. Joe Biden literally hugging the perpetrator. We’ve never experienced anything like this before. I watched LOST on TV when I was younger; today young ppl are watching GENOCIDE. In a country that already has a school shooter problem, that’s probably not a great precedent. Young ppl are being radicalized, Left and Right Kids are so desensitized to horror, that Hitler speeches are trending on TikTok. Hitler did nightmarish stuff, but the lying rhetoric of his speeches pales in comparison to what ppl are actually seeing 4k in Palestine. They didn’t have iPhones in Auschwitz, they do in Gaza

Ok, this is pretty cool. I have had my BT speak since mid july, but I never really tried the pandora player until today. Its not bad at all. Simple player. As far as I can tell, it does not have a thumb up/thumb function, but truly, it does not matter to me. My days of creating pandora stations have long passed. Now, its purely for that trip down memory lane. I like it. @BlazieTech

@matt Yeah, I sort of feel this way about what I did with Pinafore. It was almost an experiment in making the most hyper-optimized SPA I could, a scorched-earth approach to perf optimizations. But it was also a one-man show, and bound to a particular framework, so it wasn't necessarily going to be maintainable long-term. I'm curious how Semaphore/Enafore have held up since then.

At the end of the day, perf is just one virtue among others, and has to be weighed accordingly.

Well I'm still happily using Semaphore, but don't know what I might be missing compared to other clients.

THe Discord quick switcher makes absolutely no sense to me.

I don't know how one could design an algorithm that always produces the wrong result, but Discord has clearly managed to do so.

So, one of the common scam texts we seem to get here is something about a USPS package that can't be delivered due to incorrect address information or something of the sort. The freaking weird thing is, these scammers can't even be bothered to obtain a U.S. voip number for outbound texting, which results in texts coming from random country codes, E.G. +63, talking about this. Given USPS is a service run by the U.S. government and is only national, this is such a trivial red flag that I wonder why they even bother. Pretending to be UPS makes more sense at least, as that one's international. But even so, numbers in the same country of origin as your recipient, guys! It likely isn't *that* hard!

This might be intentional, just as bad grammar in Nigerian Prince scams is.

If you're the kind of person to notice this, you're unlikely to go through the whole process and gets scammed. Hence, it is not worth wasting any effort on you, and it's better to eliminate you from the scam prospect pipeline as soon as possible.

I wish there was a way to make Xcode / VoiceOver stop saying the word “new line” at the end of each new line. It’s confusing, disorienting and unnecessarily verbose. I was hoping I could get VoiceOver “ignore” this in the “punctuation” section, but I can’t figure out if there is a way to do that.

You have to make a punctuation scheme based on some, and then add the punctuation you actually need

I am considering creating a small, professional Web site to document my research, accessibility-related work, and other interests. I can write HTML; I have a Web server configured, and I can maintain files under Git revision control.
What I now want is a set of predefined style sheets that will take care of the visual layout, conforming to all of the applicable accessibility guidance (font selection, layout for mobile and desktop environments, reflow, etc.). The plan would be to write correct HTML, and for the presentation to be handled automatically - in the first instance, for static content.
What are others using and recommending nowadays? There are various CSS collections on GitHub, for example.

I haven't kept up on your journey (I've seen several of the posts, though). If nobody has linked you yet, this blog post by Ben Foster (not sure if he's on the Fediverse) was a huge help for me when I started with Serilog: benfoster.io/blog/serilog-best…

Clothing sizes are like the metric vs. imperial discussion, but there's like 6 commonly used systems, also the definition of all units depend on what product you're using and what brand you're buying from.

“Oh yeah, this Ikea table is supposed to be one metre wide but actually the Ikea brand uses a rather small centimetre so it's like 92 SI centimetres.”

They have played us for absolute fools

Has anyone else who subscribes to certain mailing lists populated by screen reader users noticed all the elementary spelling mistakes that are pronounced perfectly by text to speech, but which are clearly evident to anyone reading visually or, in my case, with a Braille display? This is basic, primary and secondary school-level literacy education gone wrong. It should be of concern to educators, and it may be symptomatic of educational deficits that could limit employment opportunities. If i were an employer, I would be reluctant to choose someone who couldn't write English correctly, especially if doing so were a job requirement, as it often is.
It's time to stop people from falling through the system without acquiring basic literacy skills.

@FreakyFwoof This is why I tell people for my job Braille is a must. As a court reporter, I must make sure things look professional. To be fair, on email lists and anything I do on the phone, sometimes mistakes happen but they're due to Braille mistranslation.

@Eden_Linnea @FreakyFwoof I make mistakes as well. They're usually just typing errors that anyone could make. I sometimes use dictation on a phone if I don't have access to a QWERTY keyboard. However, almost all writing is done on a laptop, and reviewed with a Braille display.
The examiners of my Ph.D. thesis identified, as best I can remember, three or four textual errors - mostly capitalization, as I remember. There were one or two errors discovered later that they didn't find. The thesis was written and edited with both text to speech and a Braille display (operating simultaneously), and completely reviewed with the Braille display, then typeset with LaTeX. 224 pages of main text, if I remember rightly.
