Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve as editor of a major sci journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. All of this despite living when women were still barred from attending 🧵
Myself and @dadederk are hosting an iOS accessibility workshop at the coolest looking (in all senses) conference of the year @ARCticConference The workshop is included in your ticket price. See you there! arcticonference.com/#Programme
This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.
And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.
I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).

The amount of stuff like this that shows whenever you decide to not show media or show the text format of a mail, just because the sender didn't bother replacing it in their template, is frankly quite impressive.

380 Millionen Standortdaten aus 137 Ländern: Ein bislang unbekannter Datensatz zeigt so umfangreich wie nie zuvor Gefahren des globalen Datenhandels. 40.000 Apps sind betroffen, darunter queere Dating-Apps. Mit alarmierender Genauigkeit geortet wurden Nutzer*innen von Wetter Online, Focus Online und Kleinanzeigen. #databrokerfiles
Nutzer-Standorte aus Zehntausenden Apps stehen zum Verkauf
Millionen von Standortdaten aus Apps fließen an Datenhändler ab - das zeigen Recherchen des BR mit internationalen Partnermedien. In Deutschland sticht eine populäre Wetter-App besonders hervor. Experten sprechen von "Kontrollverlust".
Kurios das Netzpolitik über das selbe Thema berichtet, mit dem Unterschied das dabei alle Partnermedien ausführlich namentlich erwähnt werden: chaos.social/@netzpolitik_feed… @IzzyOnDroid

Raise a mug of coffee and toast to a television pioneer! 73 years ago today, on January 14, 1952, NBC’s “Today” show made its debut, revolutionizing morning television and forever changing the way Americans start their day.
I'm a big fan of RSS, so much so that I can't imagine reading my every day webpages and tracking changes without it. If Miniflux, or any other RSS reader is not lightweight enough for you, give github.com/thebigroomxxl/tinyf… a Go.
Yes. If you'd like an app, there's a bunch depending on what operating system you use (MacOS and iOS have quite a few), plus the guy who wrote Vore hosts one for free you can use on the web here
The House on Tuesday voted 218-206 to ban transgender girls and women from girls’ sports in federally-funded schools by amending Title IX,the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions.
"In the most severe CVE, an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code on the machine the server is running on."
That would be CVE-2024-12084 (9.8) AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, a heap-based buffer overflow in rsyncd.
I was never super into numb3rs, but that show had the single greatest techno babble scene ever aired on TV. I laugh every time. I’m laughing right now. 🤣
Episode 6x07: Numb3rs describes the Internet Relay Chat protocol, a "pretty primitive chat program". It's how hackers talk when they don't want to be overhea...

Google’s Gemini AI just shattered the rules of visual processing — here’s what that means for you. "Google’s Gemini AI has quietly upended the AI landscape, achieving a milestone few thought possible: The simultaneous processing of multiple visual streams in real time." "...Imagine a medical professional showing an AI both live patient symptoms and historical diagnostic scans at the same time... " - uh, do I want to? Keep AI far away from my medical records (I say that as I'm sure it's too late already.) venturebeat.com/ai/google-gemi…
Internal Meta memo tells managers how performance-based job cuts will work (This is a bit sad to me, because accessibility teams especially have to do a lot of comms with so many other parts of a company and so it's one of the least areas to have "underperformers" but this is often not as visible to leadership) businessinsider.com/meta-tells…
Thursday, February 20, 2025, 8–11am PDT / 5–8pm CET, we are hosting a new edition of our online community event Smashing Meets. In this Meets we're hosting 3 amazing speakers who will talk about various aspects of accessibility in web.
love this, we need more designers to talk Dataviz so spread to knowledge within my internal work A11Y community too, maybe that'll give more sign-ups :D
What about sharing to & from iPhones? Will that work with this update? All I saw was something about sharing items to & from Android. I may have to test that with my BrailleSense, although, I don't think it'd pair using phoneLink.
Hello Mastodon, I seek your retrogame expertise. I wish to play Barbie: As Sleeping Beauty on a modern Mac. How might I go about doing so? archive.org/details/barbie-as-…
I have tried both the above ISO, and the those found on Myabandonware, with the DOSBox fork "Boxer" without any success. myabandonware.com/game/barbie-… (MyAbandonware ISOs are said to be corrupted - the one from archive.org loads on my Mac, but Boxer says that it does not contain a DOS executable.) Any ideas? I am trying to get this working for a less tech-savvy friend, so I need the solution to not be TOO complex for an average Mac user to follow.
oof, best of luck. Really hope nothing bad happens to you or your team, fingers crossed with all this crap around defunding DEI, I always worry that it will branch out into accessibility teams because they see that as part of it, when in reality product accessibility and work inclusion are different areas. But we know the big-wig senior leaders can't distinguish that. And then we expect them to distinguish between knowing what compliance and usability are, ha ha.
I turned 40. My party was all the friends, the femmes, the theys and gays I have met along the way here in BCN for the last 6 years.
Our collective focuses and prioritizes Black and POC Queer and Trans folks. The bar? Queer and Trans owned. The decks? Ran by us. The vibe?? Set down by us.
There is something so amazing about POC Queer spaces, can never be replicated. It was amazing.
Some of mula will be going to local charities. IDK, I am blessed. Sexy, hydrated and blessed.
@matrix Hi, I have a question: How do I report a problem that I am facing if I do not know if it is the server or the client or where the problem occurs? It could be two different servers or clients involved....
The problem itself: I am part of empty room: People get kicked out of personal conversations with me and I get kicked out from their perspective, too.
I do not know why. A screenshot is attached. Where would I start to report such behaviour?
very weird; not a typical failure mode. i suggest starting filing the bug on the client where you're seeing it and then it can routed to the server(s) as needed.
