New iOS #SwiftUI Videos #a11y technique and documentation waiting for review in the App Store.

For my latest piece at Curb Cuts, I wrote about this week’s new iPhone 16e.

Please read and share!

Stress test my new Fediverse server. Boost this post unnecessarily.

Edit:
Let's add some links to websites it hosts!

Edit 2: Y'all are gonna need to try harder.

Edit 3: Still holding up pretty well, even with how hard y'all are trying! This is a little Beelink mini PC I got for $12 when Amazon sent me the wrong item and wanted me to pay to send it back, hosted on a home fiber connection. The jump in processor power really cut Sharkey's response times and lets my reverse proxy Traefik keep up way better. I think it was HTTPS on a 12+ year old Intel desktop chip that was really doing it in.

@JamesHeather já jsem zatím zkoušel Revolut, KB, Air Bank a Fio a všechny fungují. Jen jsem narazil na problém, že při ověření přihlášení z nové aplikace přes QR kód, to QR kód z druhého telefonu nebralo. Nevím proč, tomu jsem ještě nepřišel na kloub.
@archos používá GOS už dlouho, ten bude mít ohledně bankovních aplikací jistě víc zkušeností.

@JamesHeather @Jiří Eischmann George slovenskej sporiteľne kontroluje, či bol inštalovaný z Google play, tipujem, že v českej sporiteľni to bude podobné.
Môj postup je stiahnuť cez aurora store, rozbaliť do /data/local/tmp a inštalovať nejako takto cez terminál priamo na zariadení:
export instid=`pm install-create -i com.android.vending|sed "s|Success: created install session||g;s|\[||g;s|\]||g"`
for f in `echo -n $@`;do
export size=`wc -c $f|cut -f 1 -d \  `
export spname=`echo $f||sed "s|.apk||g"`
cat $f|pm install-write -S $size $instid $spname -
done
pm install-commit $instid

@trilobyte yes, it's primarily privacy and security hardening. It seems to be more thoroughly de-Googled than LineageOS. Yet everything (except for Google Pay) just works without installing anything from Google.
You can find a good comparison here:

in reply to Jiří Eischmann

Thanks for the comparison, it is interesting Android Auto is supported. To add some context: Currently I am running Xperia 10 IV, but its support ends in half a year. It is possible to "officially" build own AOSP for it (because of Sony Open Devices), but I am not quite happy about the idea of maintaining it. Anyway, I will need to deal with the situation and I don't like the idea of creating more e-waste with buying new phone, so buying something older could be the way...

I am 47 years old. I have seen more Nazi salutes in the last 30 days than I have ever seen before in my entire lifetime. This isn't an accident. It isn't mental illness. And it sure as shit isn't funny. This is intentional. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement.

Koketuju s myšlenkou, že by se mi na #VHSky líbilo mít nějaký živý #rádio, který by třeba místo videa mělo jen "now listening", nebo něco podobnýho (případně při podcastech třeba livestream ze studia) .. tak jsem při hledání po internetech hledal, jak fungujou komunitní rádia a objevil studentský #RádioR s licencí CC-BY-SA

Jde tenhle můj myšlenkovej průjem nějak přetvořit v něco hmotnýho, nebo je to jen kravina? :)

Is it possible to write advanced theming #CSS with context-aware conditional code? As if()! 😉

@chriskirknielsen shows us a glimpse of what's possible—just in Chrome Canary right now behind a flag, but here's hoping it gains ground soon.

On a related note, us #WebDev folks are eagerly awaiting container style queries in Firefox! Can it happen please pretty please with sugar on top??

Oh my word, fuck you HP

EDIT: They have already rescinded the policy, lol. See first comment.

'HP Inc is trying to force consumer PC and print customers to use online and other digital support channels by setting a minimum 15-minute wait time for anyone that phones the call center to get answers to troublesome queries.'

in reply to Matt Blaze

@mattblaze It's such a shame, the company was very progressive, and ahead of its time. I remember reading HP Research papers in the 90's about how to make more easily recycled or upgradable computers, in order to minimize electronic waste. Also a lot of early literature about good corporate governance, etc. in business school studies, etc. Amazing to see them fall so far.

So, what people don't realize is that "HP" is no longer HP anymore. It is now run by some kind of metastasized parasitic organism that has only one goal, which is to extract as much money as possible out of its "customers" who don't realize it's become a giant parasite, thinking it's a "trusted brand" (which it once was). Sad to see it. Never buy anything from that company, NEVER.

To take stock of things here in Ontario...

Under Doug Ford’s leadership the province is in decline.

Transit is awful. Housing is impossible. Healthcare is broken to the point of being completely inaccessible for many Ontarians.

His government has presided over scandals and grifts, and has attracted an RCMP investigation into the Greenbelt scandal.

But we got $200 cheques, a premier in a fun hat, and can buy beer at the gas station now, so it’s all good.

Well hot damn, my Steve scammer is back. Same first 2 messages, a third "You didn't reply to me, so I'm guessing you don't know me," followed by a pic and "Remember me?"

I'm going out on a tenuous limb here and suspecting that, no, I don't in fact know this person.

As an aside, any #blind folks know how to accessibly find a Matrix ID in @element? At the very least I want to find if this person is coming through a bridge, then shut that down if needed.

And this is why Element accessibility is important. When I review the interface, I see what look like a ton of noisy stale ARIA announcements hanging around at the bottom of the interface, making it very hard to do the "move to the bottom to find if new interface elements were added to the DOM" trick. It's not just an inconvenient annoyance. It makes defending against potential pig butchering and other scam attempts much harder. How can I feel confident on a network if I can't safely use its flagship client?

in reply to Peter Vágner

Found it, thanks!

Fractal seemed pretty simple when I used it last. In particular, it didn't seem to have support for spaces, which was rough since I'm in lots of rooms, many of them with similar names like "General". :) Did I miss something? I guess it'll work in a pinch, but I'd eventually like to use Matrix for voice and such so really wish a more full-featured client was accessible.

Either way, thanks for the tip.

We're still $76k away from our stretch goal to establish a non-profit.

We're already working on it, and can't wait to build a sustainable, long term home for our ecosystem of projects!

That being said, if you could help us reach $200k, we can hire more team members.

Please spread the word, we need ethical and safe alternative platforms more than ever!

Hmm, I must really like the Material Design language, or at least I'm a bit nostalgic for the older versions of it. Check out this screenshot of my desktop using the Materia Dark theme, but with the default Fedora Mate 41 wallpaper... I'd love to know if the use of Roboto is obvious or not. Sorry to my visually impaired followers, as trying to give this an extermely detailed description is a bit difficult. #Fedora #Mate #GTKThemes #MaterialDesign #MateriaDark

Greetings everyone. Well I'll say one thing, there's never a dull moment here at Top Tech Tidbits. Last week we were forced to make a pretty major change to the way that we deliver news to you each week, and plenty of blind readers had plenty to say about it.

Organizace Člověk v tísni oznámila, že nedělní shromáždění Společně za Ukrajinu na Staroměstském náměstí zahájí prezident Petr Pavel.

I can't help but think a company doing this is irredeemable. Their understanding of business has drifted so far from what's healthy that I think they should be shut down, and regulators should do some long reflection on how to keep others from getting this bad.
