New York Times has run FOUR op-eds in the last 2 days mouthpiecing woe-is-me sympathy for UnitedHealthcare and scolding the public for not performing solemnity. They have spoken to zero families bankrupted by UHC's avaricious chasing of profit at any cost. Manufactured consent in action. Offensive.
Jeseň ubehla rýchlejšie než som plánoval, ale to nie je to podstatné, čo som chcel povedať. Dosť som totiž uvažoval, ako poňať pokračovanie môjho predchádzajúceho blogu, a teda ako by mala vyzerať lekcia 2. Nakoniec som sa rozhodol nenosiť drevo do lesa a prichádzam iba s prekladom článku z eff.org - How to: Understand and Circumvent Network Censorship licencovaného pod otvorenou licenciou CC-BY takže to čo teraz budete čítať, nie je moje dielo, iba môj pokus o preklad.
My partner and I first broached the possibility that we might need to flee the country last summer. After election day, we began that preparation in earnest. I’m making the document we used t…

NVDA Alpha 34782: the iconic music piece you'll hear upon installation is gone, for good, as a consequence of the enforcement of WASAPI for audio output. Good changes IMO. @NVAccess

None
Summary of the issue:
In #17507, the audio logo played while the NVDA launcher is loading has been removed. However, the quick start guide still makes a reference to the ...
Oh what a lovely memories. I can remember that time when @Jamie Teh has introduced this jingle to the small #NVDA community at that time. Thanks @victor tsaran @NV Access @Amir
@Europe Says Some already quite privileged workers, compared to the rest of the Italian working class, are using strikes as an excude to start the weekend on Thursday.
To the expenses of paying citizens who have already bought tickets and are not even refunded.
As a consequence they are stealing twice: once their wage is stolen from the company then end-user money is stolen too.
The situation of transportation in this country is already on the verge of collapse even without these strikes, with consequences on a complex economic situation.
@hub Note that the TIME person of the year is not necessarily the morally best person. They have picked Hitler as well in the past... And they do tend to pick the winner of the US presidential election.
My second stop, another shop and the same problem. Where can I leave the #bike? The stand is there but a car is blocking it. Actually markings on the ground say this is a path way and it is so wide that customers with a shopping trolley should easily pass around parking bikes. But cars are porking on it. On a path way... 😠
Fedora 41 switched Firefox to use @pipewire for webcams, but the transition hasn’t been smooth for everyone. I’ve noticed common issues popping up—here’s my guide to help you debug and fix them. 🔗 jgrulich.cz/2024/12/13/when-yo…
Four years years ago AT&T, a company that, for years, cheapened out on upgrading its broadband lines to fiber, effectively stopped selling DSL. While that’s understandable given the limitations…

On the sixth day of OpenAI's Shipmas, a notable enhancement graced ChatGPT—the integration of camera access within its Advanced Voice Mode. This feature,
Me: "Hey it would be nice if #LibreOffice could provide a nicer name and icon to the operating system's processes list, at least on Linux, instead of still using the StarOffice binary's filename from 39 years ago…"
That dude who never touches code but always shoots down proposals: "ABSOLUTELY NOT 😒"
all you need is a User Agent changer extension in Firefox and suddenly all of those pages that "need" Chrome work just fine. They should not be allowed to lie like that.
🎉 Happy to announce that my talk "A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP" at FOSDEM has been accepted! 🎉
I'll explore a new way of seeing XMPP and how it can achieve things quickly and simply when used as a coding interface. I’ll also discuss the work of the XMPP Standards Foundation and why having many XEPs isn’t a bad thing.
📍 See you at FOSDEM 1 & 2 February 2025 at Real-Time Lounge.
