still keep thinking back to that post I boosted on fingerprinting within text fields (seirdy.one/notes/2024/11/20/yo…) - and how at work, I always copy and paste from either blank Notepad or VS code scratchpad-type docs I temporarily keep. Even if that's a Slack response, I'll still paste in from notepad and then apply formatting to parts of the text to my desires (or write out the markdown and re-do it after pasting.)
Not sure why I've always done it this way, part of it I know is control over where and how formatting is applied. (Thinking about how Slack turns ``` code blocks into something that screen readers don't announce the formatting for, as an example.) The other part is typing indicators, perhaps - I get conscious if people see this typing indicator, even though I know most likely nobody cares, but if something takes me longer to write thoughts out on, I want zero judgment possibilities. In Google Docs, unless I'm making edits or proofreading, I'd rather paste in chunks of text at once because if I end up re-writing something to sound more accurate, I don't want the inaccurate version of it revisioned. And these are just my own personal reasons for always copy-pasting. I suppose if my workplace claimed I was doing all my work by AI writing, it's not like my workflow there had changed before and after its usage. With how much they promote internal AI tools though for increasing our productivity, don't see that happening.

Working on an open source Matrix project, and you would like the world to know more about it? Our FOSDEM DevRoom's Call for Proposals is open until the end of November, don't be late!

Talks will be recorded, livestreamed, and re-uploaded to our channel!

As of Chrome 131 you have more options to style `<details>` and `<summary>`.

You can now use the `display` property on these elements, and also use a `::details-content` pseudo-element to style the part that expands and collapses.

Human-caused climate change is intensifying Atlantic hurricanes, with rising ocean temperatures adding an average of 30 km/h to wind speeds, according to a new study by Climate Central.
That's a lot.

Already looking forward to the chaos the next time a major blindness convention is held at one of their hotels.

This weekend I wrote a #maubot that converts Spotify links shared in #Matrix chat rooms automatically to your preferred streaming service using #idonthavespotify <github.com/sjdonado/idonthaves…> by @sjdonado@threads.net.

So if you use Matrix I just opened a small "Luddites Unite" Channel on my Matrix Server. Dunno what it will become yet but setting up a "Luddite Slack" felt like it was the dumbest thing on the planet.

Tomorrow and saturday, we are doing a #surveillance #camera walk in #Ghent: see meetup.com/openstreetmap-belgi… and meetup.com/openstreetmap-belgi…

We will be adding them to #OpenStreetMap using @MapComplete

Following up on the previous vote, the never ending flood of requests and careful considerations, the Bluesky bridge fed.brid.gy/ is no longer suspended from #tchncs :tchncs:.
The bridge depends on active consent from any linked account in order to work and will only bridge public toots: fed.brid.gy/docs#visibility

If valid concerns arise / things get out of hand unexpectedly, we might change this decision in the future.

Just did the "Global Digital Accessibility Salary Survey" by #WebAim. Looking forward to the results!

Merci 🇫🇷, obrigado 🇵🇹!

#EUSolidarity means standing together when it matters most.

After Spain activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism in response to devastating floods, Portugal and France swiftly stepped in to help.

🤝 Over 150 team members and 60 vehicles joined forces with Spanish authorities, working tirelessly to clear streets of debris, pump out water and mud, remove vehicles, and transport rubble.

When we work together, we are stronger.

Una pregunta que se me ocurre para quien sepa de metodología de encuestas o demografía:

Teniendo en cuenta que sabemos que la opinión política, salvo en el caso de activistas, es mutable y débilmente sostenida (aunque sea extrema) ¿hasta que punto preguntar por un tema en una encuesta le va a dar una saliencia que cambie la posición del encuestado?

Ejemplo práctico: si preguntamos a una población objetivo por los problemas que más les preocupan, y metemos la inmigración en la lista, ¿estamos sólo midiendo, o también induciendo a esa preocupación?

Can we please retire the myth that there is “no engagement” in the Fediverse?

Exhibit A: this badge from #Ivory showing the activity in my account over the past 22 hours — 344 notifications (likes, boosts, follows, replies).

I was on Twitter 1.0 for 14 years, had 4x as many followers on my personal account and never ever had these many interactions. Why?

The damn Big Tech algorithms penalizing my posts whenever I shared links.

I LOVE the Fediverse and its chronological feeds ❤️

There's an interesting #accessibility webinar next Tuesday by Funka on EN301549 requirements that go beyond WCAG.

Especially relevant for public sector bodies, which must fulfil EN301549 Annex A, some of which is beyond the scope of WCAG.

Free registration: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
