If you ever don't know what to do, just play one of your favorite songs or music that makes you want to get up and dance or just take a walk. If still unsure, at least you'll feel good.
Unlike git-blame, which can tell you who wrote a line of code, git-who tells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase. You can think of git-who sort of like git-blame but for file trees rather than individual files.
"By choosing platforms like Mastodon, we champion community-driven technology over profit-driven manipulation" in other words, we, the workers, seize the means of production? phillipjreese.com/the-social-n…
As users flee from Twitter/X, two visions of social media's future compete: Mastodon's community-controlled network versus Bluesky's venture-backed promises.
For the #linux #midi experts: When I connect two identical devices to a system, what does aseqdump -l or aconnect -i show as name for each single device. Retoot appreciated.
I don't know why C++ has nice APIs like std::expected and std::optional that leave big footguns for undefined behavior. It's not even explicit. In Rust for unwrapping these values without checks, you have unwrap_unchecked() which is a clearly marked function and requires an unsafe block to use. In C++? You can just accidentally dereference an invalid pointer and get undefined behavior.
We are getting close to a beta for NVDA 2025.1. We are on track for 2025.1 Beta 1 to be released early next week. Please do subscribe to be notified by email as soon as it is available! In the mean…
This is something that all Windows screen readers struggle with. Nothing touches a #linux terminal with either #speakup or #fenrir. Maybe the mac has something, but the linux terminal works rock solid.
Sharing some professional news: I've joined Mastodon full-time as Head of Communications! After freelancing with the project since 2023, I'm excited to bring my experience in open source and community to help tell the story of the Fediverse. Read more on my blog.

any #IndieDev that makes #blind accessible and more complex games and wants me to cover their games? yes my yt channel is small but I just want more games to play.
I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.
What do you do when your lucrative patent expires? In the case of MP3s, the patent owner tried to migrate everyone to another tech that was still under patent. At least that scam didn't work. #RetroComputingdfarq.homeip.net/mp3-is-dead-l…
Boosts appreciated. To any #musicians who upload to #YouTube and use hashtags: if you make a #cover, do you include the original artist hashtag? For example, if John Doe posts a song and you make a cover, do you write hashtag JohnDoe, or is that tag only for John? Really not sure here. #Musician #Music #Producer
the joke is that yuri was used as justification to shut down one of the servers hosted on hetzner i'm unsure how apocryphal that is but i fully support clowning on them
i think they suspended an instance for hosting a yuri image once, and people have not forgiven them for that. the particular image that led to the suspension was posted more than once in the replies
As Trump tariffs brought volatility to the Wall Street charts, Nvidia stocks are still a ‘top pick’ for investors. After plummeting as low as $86.62 last
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
We're here to stop surveillance by corporations like Google and Apple. That's why we replaced Google's FCM with our own notification system and keep Apple Notification Data at a minimum. Learn here why this is important.
You don't have to say unalive or whatever other dumb terms to get around filters. You can say kill, murder, suicide, whatever. There's no algorithm here to punish you for using the actual words for things.
You can say swear words too. You are allowed to say fuck and shit and whatever else.
Don't say slurs though.
Edit: you can call yourself whatever you want. Don't call others slurs though.

Print material is everywhere. In the past, blind people would have to wait until someone was available to read things like mail, directions and important paperwork.
In our 2024 Explorer Survey, people identified three main categories of tasks: describing, reading, and technical assistance. Since 2020, the use of visual interpreting to assist with computer and other technical tasks has surged significantly.
#Segen oder Werkzeug zur #Manipulation? #Hallow bezeichnet sich selbst als »erfolgreichste Gebets-App der Welt«. Unter den Unterstützern und Investoren der vermeintlich christlichen #App finden sich viele #Trump- Unterstützer. #Datenschutz- Lücken könnten für dessen #Wahlkampf genutzt worden sein:
Die katholische App Hallow bezeichnet sich selbst als "erfolgreichste Gebets-App der Welt". Unter den Unterstützern und Investoren der App finden sich viele Trump-Unterstützer – und Datenschutzlücken könnten für dessen Wahlkampf genutzt worden sein.
Wo Gwen #Stefani zum täglichen Beten einlädt: #Hallow ist eine Art individualisierte Content-Plattform für römisch-katholisches Leben. In die #App haben laut @businessinsider.com Peter #Thiel und JD #Vance investiert. Ein #Medienethiker sieht die App als Vehikel für die post-liberalen #USA:

Hi, if I've submitted the form (some time ago), I can simply show up? Just want to be sure because there was no confirmation (understandably, as I assume that would be a semi-manual process with Google Forms).
If I may suggest, a little note next to the form link on the Wiki page (just something along the lines of "there is no confirmation, but once you've submitted the form, you're free to show up") would be helpful for anxious people like myself 😅
