"Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls." Trump's recent comment on tariffs joins a long list of presidential statements that left Americans shaking their heads. A journalism professor shares some examples: buff.ly/NvlvzEg
Turns out, presidents − just like the rest of us − sometimes say embarrassing things. Or mean things. Or clueless things. Certainly things they regret.
A history of music album art. “Before most people owned a TV set, Steinweiss’s album covers were affordable multi-sensory entertainment. Looking at the album cover & listening to the music created an experience that was more than the sum of its parts.” matthewstrom.com/writing/album…
I have never laughed quite so maniacally at a video before, but this takes the... Well, biscuit. You'll see what I mean. Probably should avoid drinking when you get to it though. Thanks @MoonCat for alerting me to this.
just a heads up, those sandisk external SSDs are notoriously bad and there have been lawsuits over it. I've had one fail on me last year. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0…

LibreOffice isn't just an app – it's about defending our rights to access technology without barriers, to maintain control over our own files, and to study, modify and redistribute tools we use.

On April 26, 2025, the Estácio University Center in Brasília – Taguatinga-DF Unit, was the stage for a remarkable moment in the promotion of technological freedom in Brazil.

Whitelisting an email address in popular email providers on iPhone, Android, & desktop ensures emails from this sender do not end up in spam. Learn how this works in our guide.
I have yet to get a spam email with Tuta. I have had it for almost 4yrs and not received one. What sent me to tuta? I made a brand new gmail and had spam emails within the first few days... Thank you for your wonderful services!
great post! i like how the UI is consistent on where settings and controls are located across mobile/web/desktop. many other services could learn from this
It would be super handy if there were a button to add a sender who ended up in Spam to the allow list/safe list (I think white list is an antiquated, problematic term, by the way) from said email directly, without having to dig into settings each time :)
@seathebeauty Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. If an email ends up in spam you can also click on the sender address in the header and add a spam rule directly from there.
Oh, awesome! Admittedly, I was inclined to look for that option/funcrionality in the "..." menu of the email and when it wasn't there, I assumed it wasn't possible to do from the email directly.
I'm on the way to the Nextcloud Enterprise Day in The Hague. Looking at the agenda and even more important at the list of attendees, I'm really excited, and I'm looking forward to an intense day full of great discussions.

I'm not overly happy with the way the audio turned out on this one, but I did read the book last week and enjoyed it. If you're looking for something without a happy ending, you might enjoy ... #bookstodon
A now-deleted blog post from Google suggests that the company is getting ready to roll out Material 3 Expressive, an Android design change that’s supposed to make the interface easier to use.
I generally don't understand this nonsense trend of hiding the user interface as well as possible. It's like on #android using gestures to navigate instead of three buttons at the bottom of the screen. You see less and less on more and more screen...

On one hand, I'm glad that screen readers can do something with this new API out of the box. On the other, long-standing bugs exhibited by using live regions are still present with this new API, such as #NVDA not interrupting a normal-priority message when a high-priority one comes in. #accessibility
@cachondo I think it's using the same machinery under the hood, so I would imagine that is still true. I can add a delayed announcement example to test. @fireborn
@fireborn begs the question, when is a notification not a notification? if I'm waiting for a background process to do something on the web, should my screen reader announce that even if I'm in a different tab or focused on a different app altogether?
I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to invite blind musicians, producers, and artists to join an **accessibility feedback group** for Sessionwire — a platform I’ve been using and really enjoying for a couple of years now.
**What is Sessionwire?** Sessionwire is a remote music collaboration platform that allows musicians, producers, and audio professionals to work together in real time. It offers studio-quality audio, high-definition video, and seamless integration with popular DAWs, letting users collaborate on projects as if they were in the same room.
**Why am I reaching out?** One of the developers at Sessionwire has asked me to bring together a group of blind users to help improve the platform’s accessibility. They already know which areas need work and are eager to collaborate with us to make Sessionwire better for everyone.
**Interested in participating?** If you’re interested, **please reach out to me privately (one-on-one)** and send me the email address you’d like to use for communication. If you plan to use the same address to sign up for Sessionwire, let me know; otherwise, please also send the email you’ll use for your Sessionwire account.
If you have **any questions**, feel free to let me know!
Let’s work together to make Sessionwire more accessible for the blind community!

Okay, let's try this, for the first time ever. I'm Quin, and I'm looking for a job over the summer, possibly longer as long as it's part time (I'm a college student with the summer off). I'm mostly interested in #remote work, due to my complete blindness traveling to a workplace is more difficult, all be it not impossible. I just prefer coding from my bedroom. I'm a software developer and hacker (in the oldest and best sense of the word) who loves nothing more than figuring out a good challenge. I prefer low-level coding in C, C++, Rust, etc., but things like Python and Lua have their place too. My resume is here: quinbox.xyz/resume.html #FediHire #fediHired
