That bit about the personal blog makes me almost wish I worked for a company with big enough computing needs to own a whole rack. Hopefully some company will offer public cloud / VPS hosting on an Oxide rack someday. I assume silos mean that such a company could offer direct Oxide API and/or console access to its customers.
I'm the developer of Spiel, a new free desktop speech API and framework. I created a Piper provider for it, and the sky is the limit to what else is possible. Orca already has support for Spiel. project-spiel.org/
@henriqueffc at some point I hope this is hosted in flathub. The distribution and discovery of synthesis voices is a bit different than apps, so some work needs to happen. In the meantime spiel has it's own flatpak repo
🔗One of the most important things to understand about accessibility is how people use the web.

@stephanie I remember a story at Futureshop in Vancouver on Broadway. I wanted some GoPro accessory and they were locked. Ask the sales dude about one, he said "we don't have it" and left. And then I had to wait for another sales person for the alt I was thinking but didn't have time to ask....
And then at the cash sales dude 1 asked to be the "person that helped" (commission) and I said "fuck no".
I really needed the shit urgently and at the time Amazon Canada was still crap.
LibreOffice guidebooks are available in many different languages, thanks to our worldwide community of translators 😊 The Czech-speaking team just released the Getting Started Guide 24.8: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware
Zdeněk Crhonek (aka “raal”) from the Czech LibreOffice community writes: The Czech team has finished its translation of the LibreOffice Getting Started guide 24.8.
I’m always very impressed at the quality of these guide books! There should be a guide book on how to make a guide book because every time I try, it turns into a mess!

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.

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...
