OpenAI is moving to publish the results of its internal AI model safety evaluations more regularly in what the outfit is pitching as an effort to increase transparency.
Reports that 89 million steam accounts details got breached, regardless of being true or not better change your Steam password. Especially devs I guess but everyone should.
@ariadne Having created that card, one should find a card that accepts artwork ( I can send the original ) and make cash donations to their effort of choice. One has to spend a LOT of money with a card to make a meaningful/effective impact.
@dexter @ariadne I did alright, I was pumping everything I could through that card like $60k/yr, but a couple hundred dollar donation per year is basically equivalent 😭

I like you lot. You are doing the possible and with inginuity. I'll probably get the BT Braille when it comes out because a notetaker is what I've been hoping for after so long. The last time I had a notetaker was a Braille Sense but I would love one that has the ability to run actual apps. Imagine playing a mud on your Braille notetaker with tintin?
I can't tell y'all how much I love #Emacs. It was the first interface that really intrigued me. It was the first interface where I felt like there was so much I could learn about. And Emacspeak brought it to life for me. Headings spoken by a deeper voice. Italics spoken by a higher, rather fuzzy voice. Bold spoken by a deep voice, almost like headings. Because headings are bold, and large. A calendar where I could move around the actual calendar, not just a list of events. Want to know what date next Friday is? Find Friday of this week, and simply press Down arrow. Or C-n if you're really into Emacs. And there it is. Oh and Nov-mode (nov.el). I can't say enough about that package. An EPUB reader that doesn't choke on a huge book. And Markdown-mode and Org-mode, and even HTML-mode. With Emacspeak, I could hear the syntax highlighting. That way, I knew if I didn't close a bracket pair, or quotes, not only by the punctuation itself, but how the voice sounds.
And now Emacspeak hasn't been updated in a year. Luckily, I think T.V. Raman has made fixes up to Emacs 30. But beyond that, I don't know. I hope it's not abandoned forever. I maybe could use Emacs through Orca, or BRLTTY, or maybe Speechd-el, if I can figure out how it's supposed to be set up and used well. But it feels like such a pail imitation of Emacspeak. But then, unconfigured Emacs doesn't feel all that special either.
Regarding Speechd-el, there were a few good threads at the speechd mailing list last year's March, April and May. One user came with a config file quite complete, see: diesenbacher.net/blog/entries/…

what have been your issues with speechd-el? try the mailing list, Milan is very responsive. If orca works, speechd-el should also work, both have speech-dispatcher as their backend.
Bonjour ! J'aime bien le concepte de 1.2.Train, mais malheureusement l'accessibilité pour les utilisateurs non-voyants laisse à désirer. considérerez-vous l'amélioration dans cette direction ? N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin d'aide. Merci !
@menelion Bonjour André, je suis d'accord il y a plein de choses à améliorer en matière d'accessibilité. Je continue la discussion vers vous par mail 🙂
WCAG is evolving. Since 1999, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines have defined accessibility in binary terms: either a success criterion is met or not. But real user experience is rarely that simple. WCAG 3.
Embedded Recipes 2025 heads to Nice, France with talks, workshops, and a PipeWire hackfest, all bookended by the Linux Media Summit and the GStreamer Spring Hackfest!
If you’re like me and enjoy watching streams or listening to multiple audio sources, check out my newly updated @pipewire based script! It makes muting or unmuting sound from different sources really easy.

Though other tech bigwigs have done what they can to publicly placate the Trump administration, one company stands out for not doing so — at least not yet.
Google just kicked off its I/O season with a special Android Show: I/O Edition, dropping a ton of news about what’s next for the world’s most popular operating system.
"Despite this dismal success rate, companies are going all-in on AI, driven largely by the belief that everyone else is doing it. Nearly two-thirds of CEOs (64%) say “the risk of falling behind drives them to invest in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring to the organization,” according to the study."
"The tech-first-ask-questions-later approach has resulted in some memorable flubs. Air Canada once employed a chatbot that made up a refund policy when chatting with a customer; it was forced to give back $880 to the client despite trying to argue it wasn’t responsible for the bot’s actions."
"McDonald’s tried an AI-driven system for its drive-thrus for three years before ending the effort. During those years, the system made mistakes like trying to add bacon to an ice cream order and giving one customer an order of 260 Chicken McNuggets."
Apple hat heute haufenweise neue Barrierefreiheitsfeatures angekündigt, die mal wieder eine Menge Potenzial haben, für viel mehr Teilhabe zu sorgen: apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/app…
Am besten ist wahrscheinlich, dass sie im App Store künftig zeigen wollen, mit welchen Bedienungshilfen eine App zugänglich ist. Das ist wegweisend und nicht weniger als der wichtigste Fortschritt für Barrierefreiheit insgesamt.
Hardware vendor ZOTAC have announced they're working on a new ZOTAC GAMING ZONE Handheld, with a prototype that will be shown off at COMPUTEX 2025 running Linux.
@fireborn It would have to be a modified version of manjaro as it doesn't come preconfigured for gaming, no Steam installed for example. I know Manjaro does have an immutable version they're working on so that could possibly be related.
New organizers are running the show this year — big thanks to BayLibre for picking up the torch and keeping the spirit of Recipes alive: small-scale, sharing, and real exchange.
We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works well except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-pe…
In March of 2023 we announced that we were starting work on a safer high performance AV1 decoder called rav1d, written in Rust. We partnered with Immunant to do the engineering work.
It’s a legitimate question that comes up from time to time. While the question is fairly short, the answer requires a few details. Behind the question of security, it’s also often about privacy.
How secure is UnifiedPush?

in reply to Colegota en Akkoma • • •Indeed, very little apps show hackerspaces - OsmAnd and Organic are some of the apps that do show them.
However, both don't (yet) support showing panoramax-images. That'll hopefully change soon!
