At last, the USB portal originally authored by @refi64 in 2021, later continued by Georges Stavracas in 2023, and finalized by @hub, has been merged!
The USB portal allows sandboxed formats like Flatpak to access USB devices without poking holes in the sandbox. This is great for security, as accessing USB devices will now need to be explicitly granted by the user.
Now we just need to wait for implementers to implement them in their respective portal implementations, starting with GNOME: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des…
The documentation for the USB portal is available on the xdg-desktop-portal website: flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-…

Surprise, @github is now pushing Copilot on the home screen 🤢
Keep in mind that I've never signed up for Copilot, have disabled Copilot in every way that's possible, and yet I still have a "Copilot Individual Subscription" which comically has "Enabled" as a text field amongst drop-downs for disabling specific features and buttons for signing up for professional services.

One of my all-time favorite spots, the trolley graveyard was a privately owned collection of streetcars on 19 acres of track stretching back into the woods. The owner, my good friend Ed Metka, passed away earlier this year and the cars are being scrapped.

→ U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattack
nbcnews.com/tech/security/us-o…
“The hacking campaign, nicknamed SaltTyphoon by Microsoft, is one of the largest intelligence compromises in US history, and it has not yet been fully remediated.”
“Privacy advocates have long advocated using end-to-end encrypted E2EE apps.” *sigh*

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.Kevin Collier (NBC News)
Taking the opportunity for a few basic reminders:
→ Encryption is nothing without open-source. Use @signalapp, @matrix, or whatever is E2EE + open-source. Not WhatsApp or any other closed-source app.
→ Use 2FA/OTP but never by SMS. Don't fill in your phone number when creating online accounts, especially if it can be used to recover them (such as bank and email accounts).
→ Don't assume that the number calling or texting you is actually the number calling or texting you. Spoofing is trivial.

In April 2024, we published a quick tip on how to filter chats on WhatsApp. Since then, this feature has been extended to include "Favorites" and user-createdKareen Kiwan (Accessible Android)
I love the idea of the DoD using Matrix during what may turn out to be pretty eventful next few years.
Coast Guard: We are seeing unknown boats on the western sea board
Air Force: [Unable to decrypt message]
Army: [Unable to decrypt message]
NATO: [Unable to decrypt message]
Like, if your hacker trans girl or whatever is struggling to make your chat system exchange messages consistently and predictably, what hope does a single branch of defence with 200,000 troops have?
It's not like the DoD has hoarded all of the experts in this area from the rest of the world, likely quite the opposite
It'll probably turn into "nobody actually uses that complicated matrix stuff, the employee handbook is inaccurate, we just message eachother on Whats App groups and everybody just pretends everything is fine".

Absolutely can recommend this series on iOS #accessibility from Dani! He’s an expert on the topic and his tips are concrete, understandable, actionable, AND come with great graphics!

I remember when a thief came into my house through an unlocked windowwhen I was a graduate student in Miami and stole my underwater photography gear. The police almost laughed at me when I suggested that they dust for fingerprints the window that s/he obviously opened*. They told me it wasn't like a cop drama TV show (copaganda really is copaganda) and they wouldn't do it. But when a healthcare CEO is gunned down in Manhattan, they will pick up candy wrappers and water bottles off the street to try to find DNA (much more expensive then fingerprints, and prone to errors if they are using objects on the ground in a crowded city). My claim was denied, but the healthcare CEO's claim will never be denied.
abcnews.go.com/US/police-piece…
*I'm not trying to equate theft to murder. I'm trying to compare the responses. The cop's response suggested that they rarely dust for fingerprints. Ever. His solution? Monitor Ebay for your photography equipment and let them know if I find it!

Jak jsem přešel z Galaxy Watch na Garmin
Před pěti měsíci jsem si pořídil hodinky Garmin Epix 2 a myslím, že je to dostatek času na to, abych se mohl podělit o první zkušenosti.

Hádám, že myslí maximální tepovku, podle které se nastavují ta tepová pásma. To nějaký čas trvá, i když teda nevím, jestli šest měsíců. Třeba kolega, který běhá hodně, si tu maximální tepovku nastavuje ručně, protože říká, že mu to prý Garmin nikdy nebyl schopný dobře určit a pak mu neseděla ani ta pásma. 🤷
