As it has been a while and I could have done this better last time here’s my #introduction. I’m a #blind #parent, #braille user, and #musician. I have been blind for coming up on 5 years, learned braille over the last not quite 3 years, and spend most of my time juggling being a stay at home dad, and staff for #OurBlind, mainly on our Discord and the r/blind subreddit. I also read a lot, mainly fantasy, mostly on my #kindle with the #voiceview #screenreader, though also read on a #Brailledisplay.
The new #UnifiedPush specifications for Android are merged 🎉
The main changes are as follows:
- Server-to-server requests are defined as web push
- It introduces VAPID (a way of authorizing the application server), urgency and topics
- The ability to define a default distributor
- Gives the distributor the power to properly wake up applications, a bit like what play services do with urgent messages!

"Don't be so dramatic, going to school isn't traumatic to kids, you're exaggerating"
If compulsory schooling isn't traumatizing, then why is it so common for adults to have "late for class" or "forgot about the test" nightmares for literal decades after?
If it were any other experience we'd call that shit PTSD in a heartbeat.

@matt Same for me. I attended college voluntarily and wanted to be there 100%, and I still have dreams about forgetting tests etc.
I would not describe them as "nightmares." They aren't that intense. They're on par with other very ordinary dreams I have about problematic situations, e.g. "my house/car/computer broke," "I forgot to bring my mask to the store during a pandemic," and "I forgot to answer an important e-mail." College did not traumatize me!
Sex and gender are constellations:
"Many people, including Dawkins, believe sex and gender are a straightforward binary. You’re either male or female, a man or a woman, end of story.
But if that were the case, it should be easy to come up with a rule that tells you which sex a person is. However, that turns out to be not nearly so simple. The more you look, the more you find that any such rule is fraught with complications, exceptions and judgment calls."

Hi, how are you? I would like to clarify a question but I couldn't find the answer through the app. What is the price of the monthly plan? The app says it's €3.60. How much would that cost converted to BRL? I am Brazilian
@Tutanota olá tudo bem com vocês? Gostaria de esclarecer uma dúvida porém não consegui a resposta pelo aplicativo qual o valor do plano mensal ? Lá no app diz que é €3,60 quanto ficaria esse valor convertido em BRL ?
One of the top things I wish Apple trained all their UX designers on: do not show obvious, modal feedback telling me the result of something I just triggered is the expected one.
For example, control-click on a video on Messages and choosing “Add to Photos Library" shows a confirmation dialog saying this will make the video available on Photos on all my devices.
I know, that's what I just told it to do… and since it's something non destructive and easy to reverse, why the confirmation?

I thought I understood the extent to which the broad availability of mobile location data has exacerbated countless privacy and security challenges. That is, until I was invited along with four other publications to be a virtual observer in a 2-week test run of Babel Street, a service that lets users draw a digital polygon around nearly any location on a map of the world, and view a time-lapse history of the mobile devices seen coming in and out of the area.
The issue isn't that there's some dodgy company offering this as a poorly-vetted service: It's that *anyone* willing to spend a little money can now build this capability themselves.
I'll be updating this story with links to reporting from other publications also invited, including 404 Media, Haaretz, NOTUS, and The New York Times. All of these stories will make clear that mobile location data is set to massively complicate several hot-button issues, from the tracking of suspected illegal immigrants or women seeking abortions, to harassing public servants who are already in the crosshairs over baseless conspiracy theories and increasingly hostile political rhetoric against government employees.

I found a very odd Google search bug/misfeature on android: I've somehow gotten stuck in Brown Mode.
It happens in both Firefox and Chrome, and as long as I'm signed into my account, it's brown.
Some apps at #IzzyOnDroid would need verification if they still work. Aholic Gino started a list for that, most of them were already covered – but we'd need help covering the remains (just install, see if they work and are useful, report back either in the issue or as reply to this toot).
Any volunteers here on the Fedi?

Here’s the server that’s been running my two #fediverse instances and #Hugo blog for the past two years.
It’s a low-power Intel NUC with a Celeron processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. The entire setup lives under my printer and cost less than $300.
Bandwidth demands are modest—just a few gigs weekly. No fancy tunneling involved either. It’s just a straightforward router setup forwarding a couple of ports, a script that updates the server’s IP with my registrar as needed, and a robust Fail2ban rule set to keep things a bit secure.
No more corporate social networks and VPSes!

* they have never had a pet
* no mother's maiden name, no mother: they have two fathers, neither of who changed their name.
* they were homeschooled, so no high-schools and first grade teachers (arguable)
* they've never been on vacation
* they are not into music, so they have no favorite band.
* they haven't dated anyone
* they're colorblind so no favorite color
* they didn't go to college
* they don't drive
Wholeheartedly agree with @pluralistic 's plea to use #RSS, my favourite RSS application is in fact @AntennaPod for podcasts.
Slightly embarrassed to admit I don't really understand how it works, which suggests that vast majority of people don't know it even exists ...
Are others I've downloaded from YouTube (& other sites) also delivered by RSS?
I don't subscribe to a feed reader, download podcast apps or give any of them my email address.
(I've nothing against RSS.)
The program you use to download podcasts, whether that is Apple Podcasts, Antennapod, or something else, is an RSS reader.
Podcasts are structured as attachments inside of an RSS feed. The way you listen to a podcast is by downloading and playing an MP3 (streaming is just a form of downloading).
It is downloaded to your device by your podcast app.
The way the podcast app finds those MP3 files is by loading and parsing an RSS feed.

If you sync your documents folder with OneDrive, you can then access the wiki file from anywhere. Your notes are saved to a single HTML file.

in reply to André Polykanine • • •I am a big fan of [MemPad]( horstmuc.de/wmem.htm). It is free and simple, basically a digital version of a spiral-bound notebook.
It’s not online, though, and doesn’t do spell-checking, cross-platform sharing or anything like that. Literally an electronic version of a pencil and paper.
Obviously there are far more comprehensive solutions out there, but sometimes I just want a reliable notepad with no special views or anything. MemPad provides a standard Windows tree view control to list your notes and a standard multi-line edit control to type into.
There's a hotkey for today, so you can always jump to either a fresh, blank page or your current day's notes.
A file (I prefer to think of them as books) of notes is independent, so you can't search across notebooks, but you can search through one easily enough.
It's a simple, no frills, lightweight tool with a file format spec for you to take data out if needs-be.
