Angaben zur #Rollstuhltauglichkeit eines Ortes sind zwar in der @openstreetmap@en.osm.town eingetragen, werden aber auf der #wheelmap nicht angezeigt?
Dann könnte es sein, dass die Beschreibung nicht dem Basis-Attribut wheelchair_description sondern dem mit der Erweiterung der Sprache zugeordnet wurde, z.B. wheelchair_description:de
Wie mir der Support mitteilte, arbeitet man aber daran, auch die Sprachdefiition zu berücksichtigen.

There is no doubt about how important describing images is for blind users. However, being able to hear descriptions of videos is equally important. VideoKareen Kiwan (Accessible Android)
Today on the show Steven and Shaun discuss a range of tech topics including the rise in popularity of a pedestrian navigation app, a new AI assistant that’s just launched, and a major update to a popular QWERTY braille display.Steven Scott (Double Tap)

The network technology giant Cisco offers to turn Wi-Fi access points installed in offices and other buildings into a system that tracks the location of employees, customers, smartphones, laptops and other devices for a wide range of purposes #workersurveillance
I took a deep dive ⬇️ [thread]
The fact that Cisco is able to provide these numbers raises the question about how the company processes the data for its own purposes.
I briefly address this question in section 3.2.6 of my case study, alongside Cisco's claims about privacy, data protection and 'GDPR compliance':

To make things worse, the system can also turn Cisco’s WebEx video conferencing devices and even its security cameras (!) into sensors.
Video camera data can be utilized to analyze the "behavior of people within physical spaces", including employees, students, customers or patients.
Something about starter packs that I think gets lost when they're discussed on Mastodon:
The power of starter packs is not in some centralised mega list of say "Black people in tech," curated by some central authority. The power is in a million tiny "Black techies I follow" lists curated by everyday users.
Check it out. I'm on some lists.
clearsky.app/mekka.mekka-tech.…
And yes, I'm on some lists I don't want to be on, that people use to block. And I mostly don't care. 🤷🏿♂️
1/N
The losers that think being trans means being white and trans, hopped over from Mastodon to BlueSky, and put me on their "transmisogyny list."🤷🏿♂️
But Black trans people, and white trans people that aren't racist and can see Black people, put me in their starter packs.♥️
I don't want to be in community with the fashy white trans people that don't like Black trans people. I prefer the white trans people that like the Black and brown trans people.
I don't like everybody. It's OK if they block me.
Something else interesting:
ClearSky, the tool for inspecting blocks, list membership, etc, is built by a Black developer. 👍🏿
BlackSky, the tool and moderation community for Black ATProto users and apps, is built by a Black developer. 👍🏿
Black developers are building on Blue Sky.
Shout out to everyone who will read this, and instead of saying "How do we get them to build for Mastodon/Activity Pub?" Will froth at the mouth about fake federation and the inevitable corpo takeover.🤡
I've never understood why Masto is anti-starter-packs but pro-follow-Friday.
It's literally the same concept.
AI is great, now we're being told not to say "yes" on the phone. Awesome.

Die App des Bundesrates war ein positives Beispiel. Dass es auch weniger datenschutzfreundlich geht, zeigt die App der Bundesregierung: Sie nutzt Verbindungen zu Google Firebase und enthält eine angeblich »technisch notwendige« Analysefunktion, die sich nicht deaktivieren lässt (analytics.bundesregierung.de).

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.
We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.
It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

There are loads of ways to transfer files from one phone to another device, but what about literally grabbing and dropping files?Hadlee Simons (Android Authority)
I installed #Signal and #Conversations_im on a clean install of #GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a and measured the battery impact. The results are shocking!
Both messengers had only one contact: my regular phone.
I used my regular phone to send messages to the Pixel 4a (which was not used for anything else over the course of the experiment).
I always sent the same message via Signal and #XMPP (mixing up which app went first). In total I sent ~32 messages in intervals of 10mins to a few hours.

Similar observations here, though with Google Play Services notifications...
Switched to Molly in the UnifiedPush variant with ntfy as provider and it got way better!
No problem anymore at that front.

A PSA for people active on #Bluesky: your block list is PUBLIC information.
A website that tracks Bluesky stats – which I am not naming here on purpose – makes this job super easy: you can enter *any* username and see the accounts a user has blocked.
(Yes I tested it with my account and was horrified)
I'm alarmed by this because the information could be weaponized for abuse.
Muting may be the safer choice then?

If you can't give, don't feel guilty. Those who can contribute for those who can't. 🤜 🤛

One year after our first Nix & Rust meetup, we are meeting again in Heidelberg for our first anniversary! 🎊 Note that for the first time, this meetup is only about Nix and NixOS, the declarative package manager and Linux distribution.rheinneckar.events
As talk, we'll be hearing from @notthebee who recently tinkered on using #NixOS to power his couch gaming PC.
For our anniversary, we're reserving more time for hacking, troubleshooting and networking than before, so feel free to bring your laptops, projects and #Nix problems with you! And even for complete beginners, this may be a great opportunity to learn from more experienced Nix users.
