Happy to have a piece of this #FNN article on the #USA #government accessibility and the Accessibility chapter of the @httparchive.org's Web Almanac. #Accessibility is important to citizens & can do better in making their sites usable for everyone.

The Matrix.org Foundation

Please note that this is a different "Matrix," entirely unrelated to the the Matrix protocol.

Europol and the Dutch police have both issued statements clarifying. You can find more info in our own statement here: matrix.org/blog/2024/12/unrela…


An unrelated cybercriminal network named MATRIX was taken down

Repeat offenders drive bulk of tech support scams via #Google #Ads

"Search engines, and Google’s in particular, are our gateway to the web. Yet, that door sometimes opens up to unsavory places thanks to sponsored search results, AKA ads."

This is part of the reason I recommend using an #adblocker (whether in browser, on device, or network-based.)

I mean that guy was still using a denial rubber stamp program to torture and kill people for money. Why is it fine for him to kill and torture people?

Europol was in touch with The Reg overnight to ensure no one imagined the "Matrix" app had any connection to the open protocol for secure decentralized comms of the same name, saying: "The Matrix protocol ( @matrix ) is by no means connected to the Matrix secured communication service that was targeted in OTF Continental."

OK, all good things … are 3: Anyone using Plex Media Server and be willing to check whether this app is still usable?

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/wtf.p…

plexmanager saw its last release 1.5 years ago, and its repo was archived in September. If it's still fine, we can keep it at #IzzyOnDroid a bit longer – but if not, it should be removed.

"Ceratopsian" will be the default theme for Debian 13: The theme "Ceratopsian" by Elise Couper has been selected as the default
theme for Debian 13 "trixie". The theme is inspired by Trixie's (the fictional
character from Toy Story) frill and is also influenced by a previously used
theme called "futurePrototype" by Alex Makas.

After the Debian Desktop Team made the call for proposing themes, a total
of six choices were submitted. The desktop artwork poll was open… bits.debian.org/2024/12/cerato…

Look, it’s why we did Projekt:ONI 5 yrs. Ago…

If your ISP is compromised how do you stay private?

The FBI knows it’s suddenly a real problem, and they are advising people to use Signal. They know that Signal is not backdoored, and they know that encryption is a Net win for people, especially in these circumstances.

Long term, we need to be looking to solutions like Veilid Framework to deny any adversary from having access to our metadata…

but for now, Use Signal, Use TOR.

U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid cyberattack

Amid an unprecedented cyberattack on telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon, U.S. officials have recommended that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to ensure their communications stay hidden from foreign hackers.

Day 4 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. Important information is often conveyed visually through icons, badges, or progress bars... These details can easily be overlooked. Please make sure they're part of your UI's components' accessibility labels or values for a more inclusive experience.

#365DaysIOSAccessibility

Calendar of Advent of iOS Accessibility. Day 4. Visual cues missing from VoiceOver's announcement. Four examples. The first one is a button with a person silhouette and a checkmark. VoiceOver announces it as "Collaborate, button". It is missing the fact that you are already collaborating with someone. Represented by the checkmark. Second example shows a tab with the title "Coming soon" and a badge with the number 6. VoiceOver announces it as "Coming soon, Tab 2 of 5". It is not conveying that there are 6 new movies and shows. Represented by the badge. Third example shows a chart's title: "Daily Average 1h 55m", an arrow pointing down, and "55% from last week". VoiceOver says "Daily average, one hour fifty-five minutes. 55% from last week". The user wouldn't know if it went up or down. Represented by the arrow pointing down. Fourth example, episode download. The stop button is surrounded by circular progress bar. VoiceOver says "Stop downloads, button" but not how much is left.

Anyone useing Paperless and can check if this app still works?

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/eu.ba…

It's repo had been archived half a year ago, and the last release was made almost 3 years ago – so it would be good to know if we should still keep it at #IzzyOnDroid or have to remove it as "no longer working".

Několik lidí se mě o víkendu ptalo, jestli pořád dělám kroužky pro děti. Nedělám, protože #Ukrajina. Práce pro dnesnaukrajine.cz/ mě sežere tak 3.5 hodiny týdně. To je skoro přesně to, co jsem dříve věnoval kroužkům pro děti.

Můžete si říkat, že se vás válka netýká. Ale týká. A až si budete říkat, že je škoda proč už není akce XY, tak tohle je jeden z možných důvodů.
