Cool to see a company whose annual revenue is $250B announce a $1.25M open source security fund (that’s about three *minutes* of revenue), in a press release that without blinking or apparent irony (1) says maintainers need more time and (2) requires maintainers to take a multi-week, many-hour training program.

So they did not mention it but a ton of the google apps have actions now, I keep finding them without a hint they are there. Also not sure why you have issues with it speaking over voice recording, that stopped for me ages ago, like #TalkBack 12.1 ages ago, though this does seem to break with third party tts engines, also the #braille support if you did not know is currently on #Humanware to push a firmware update because even if the HID bluetooth had been released those devices would not work, so people need to pester Humanware about that. Also as of the last month or two Lookout appears as an accessibility app and can be mapped to a shortcut.

@johannes While I think both, I haven't had the need to sync settings yet. The best option would be for TB to provide WebDAV sync option, so it could be synced with any WebDAV compatible service. And also extend that to TB for Android 😃

Note taking app Joplin does it well, as an example.

Otherwise, location where user data is stored could be synced to Nextcloud via Nextcloud's desktop client.

This year @igalia has contributed in a number of ways to encourage discussions and efforts aimed at improving the Linux display stack.

In the first half of the year, we hosted the 2024 Linux Display Next Hackfest, and in the second half, with a gathering of developers at XDC 2024, I co-organized the Display/KMS Meeting.

This blog post details what we discussed during those 3 hours together:

I think my paper on Dummett, proof assistants and pluralism has shaped up rather nicely, and it will be good to see it out in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society in a few months’ time. You can read the preprint now.

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on earlier drafts, and discussed these issues along the way.

There's more to be done, but I hope to have clarified some issues around how we can think about the relationship between constructive and classical reasoning, and how philosophers might engage with what is going on in the application of dependent type theory in proof assistants, programming language design, and the formalisation and mechanisation of reasoning.

Should #Conversations_im add stun.conversations.im as a fallback for #XMPP servers missing XEP-0215: External Service Discovery?

I’ve hesitated to add anything resembling "calling home" (no update checker, no metrics).

However, the main goal here wouldn’t be improving A/V call success (though it helps) but making P2P file transfers more reliable. Many servers still lack HTTP Upload, and the refactored Jingle File Transfer would benefit greatly from a fallback STUN server.

If it can be deactivated in the configuration, then I don't see an issue with that. I would appreciate a warning though somewhere, maybe just a Message Toast on both sides that the fallback is used. That would help notice wrong configurations.

It would be great if conversations could verify that stun/turn works completely in addition to that. (Might also be a separate tool).

While doing an unrelated Google search, I discovered a Youtube video about a fascinating toy from the 70's. I've never owned or seen one of these, but the way they managed to make the toy seem to be intelligent is just amazing. There's no computer chips, no data processing, none of that. Just an 8-Track player at the heart of the thing. 2XL: The '70s Toy that Faked AI with an 8-Track: youtube.com/watch?v=amuRIydCoJ…

I had a 2XL back in the day. It really was just an 8-track tape player with four buttons to jump too each of the tracks. Each track was recorded in such a way that, whenn you switched tracks at the right time, you'd get a different response. As you say, it had no intelligence but it sure did a nice job faking it. Unless you were one of thhose kids who understood how 8-track tapes worked.

@DavidGoldfield I also had a 2XL, didn't know how it worked until long after they were both dead. I had two, not at the same time, and quite a few tapes. Some were, Battman's Gotham City, Riply's Believe it or Not, Spiderman (unsure of full title,) and Music Maker, which was the coolest one! It allowed you to use diferent musical snippets to make a song! Primitive now of course.
