New from 404 Media: people are using AI to auto apply for jobs. Bot scrolls LinkedIn, opens job applications, writes cover letter. Users say they've got interviews

We tested it. "By the time I finished breakfast, I had applied to 12 different jobs" 404media.co/i-applied-to-2-843…

Today I heard about Altirra, a free Windows emulator of 8-bit Atari computers. In the latest version it includes an accessibility mode, turned on from the configuration dialog under the system menu. After you do the emulated screen can be reviewed just like a modern command prompt (IE with NVBDA's review commands.) It aalso supports emulating a lot of peripherals and you can have authentic floppy drive sounds and I'm a total sucker for those. It's really cool to see another vintage #retro computer platform become accessible like this. #a11y #accessibility virtualdub.org/altirra.html

Please boost!

Do you need Code of Conduct Enforcement training in 2025?

Fill out my workshop time survey:

forms.gle/bXp5M8S7F7nbbJkd9

Help me figure out what time to run my monthly Code of Conduct Enforcement workshops.

otter.technology/code-of-condu…

With people needing training in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America, it's impossible to find one single workshop time that works for everyone. So each month I pick a different time zone to best accommodate.

If you are a conference organizer, please let me know which month and time you need training!

You can either fill out the form, or send an email to sharp@otter.technology

Kurzer Bericht im DLF über Behinderten-Ausbeutungsbetriebe ("Werkstätten").

Es gilt immer noch als Argument, dass behinderte Menschen mit einem feuchten Händedruck entlohnt werden können, weil sie dankbar sein sollten, überhaupt arbeiten zu dürfen. Es ist einfach nur empörend, wie unsere Gesellschaft mit Menschen umgeht.

Knapp 6 Minuten, es gibt eine Zusammenfassung als Text.

deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag…

Ich kenne übrigens einige der Argumente aus meiner Erwerbslosenzeit, wenn mir irgendwelche Mistjobs oder Quatschmaßnahmen schmackhaft gemacht werden sollten: Geregelter Tagesablauf (als wäre das ein Wert an sich), "Anerkennung" (als stünde ein entwürdigender Lohn dem Anerkennungsgefühl nicht offensichtlich entgegen), "Sinnstiftung und Identität" (weil ein Mensch ohne Arbeit ein wertloser Niemand ist), blabla. Das alles sei viel wichtiger und toller als eine angemessene oder überhaupt eine Bezahlung.

Unsere verkorkste Arbeitsmythologie macht wenige Menschen reich und viele Menschen arm und krank.

Das ist eine Nummer, die du in einer Situation weitergeben kannst, in der du dich belästigt oder unwohl fühlst. Wählt die Person dann diese Nummer, erhält sie kurze Zeit später folgende Nachricht:

„Hey, hier ist Noa. Eine Person hat sich nicht wohlgefühlt und dir deswegen diese Nummer gegeben. Besuche noanruf.de/nummer-bekommen/ und schau, wie du diese Situation beim nächsten Mal vermeiden kannst. Grüße, NoA.“

The amazing thing about open source services is, you can create interfaces for it the way you imagine them best. Currently testing #Pipilo, an iOS Fediverse client by @luckkerr which presents each timeline as a horizontal bar you swipe through to get to the next post. From a VoiceOver perspective, a slider control is presented and you explore the posts by swiping up and down, then explore the screen to discover things like links, replies in the corresponding thread, attached multimedia. Łukasz also makes sure that everything works correctly with VO and more goodies are already there in the current Testflight build. Glad to see this level of attentiveness to accessibility and a fellow Polish person coding fedithings. Give it a try. apps.apple.com/pl/app/pipilo/i… #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #iOSDev

Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

We heard back from the Obtanium dev, and his advice is to delete the app from Obtainium and re-add it, but specify a release title filter this time. Or you could add it in one click via the crowdsourced app configs website: apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/?cat…

(Basically, there was a hiccup caused by the fact that repo now hosts two apps instead of one, but this should be a one-time occurrence.)

“For me to post a hurricane forecast and for people to accuse me of creating the hurricane by working for some secret Illuminati entity is disappointing and distressing, and it’s resulting in a decrease in public trust,” says Cappucci. He says he hasn’t slept in multiple days and is exhausted. This last week he received hundreds of messages from people accusing him of modifying the weather and creating hurricanes from space lasers. "

...I'm sorry... wut? Is this for real...?

🇬🇧Dutch Parliament just passed an exemplary resolution on #ChatControl with broad majority +++ "irreconcilable concerns about the proportionality of the European CSAM Regulation" +++ "detection order to be issued on the private communications of all citizens" is unacceptable +++ Government and experts to draft "an alternative European proposal to combat the dissemination of images of online child abuse"

I've noticed that, for me and my wife at least, #Signal isn't always reliable for time sensitive messages. Even after exempting it from the Android power saving and everything it's almost like it goes to sleep sometimes and notifications don't pop until we open it up. The #XMPP app Conversations.im however is very reliable. Running a packet capture on my phone shows that when switching networks #Conversations immediately reconnects, but Signal doesn't, sometimes for several minutes.
A screenshot of a packet capture on my phone, showing the apps that were first to reconnect after starting the capture. The app behaves like a VPN so starting a capture makes apps reconnect, thinking you've switched networks.
