Hi all. I'm heading to bed, but I'll leave you with this brand new AccessiWeather page that allows you to download both the latest release stable build as well as the latest experimental dev build fresh from my machine. Should update automatically as I push new dev builds and as I push new releases. Plan on adding more to it like patch notes/changelog etc, but I wanted a way for people to download since GitHub can be confusing. orinks.github.io/AccessiWeathe…

Ich hatte gestern die Chance, mir die Funktionsweise rund um den automatischen Upload bei der @nextcloud -Android-App erklären zu lassen.

Seither bin ich viel geduldiger, weil ich jetzt weiss, dass vieles, was ich sonst so ausprobiert hatte, nichts bringt.

Damit ihr nicht auch im Dunkeln tappen müsst, habe ich die Erklärung für euch zusammengefasst.

Generative AI runs on gambling addiction — just one more prompt, bro!

You’ll have noticed how previously normal people start acting like addicts to their favourite generative AI and shout at you like you’re trying to take their cocaine away. Matthias Döpm…

This is the original middle finger of the right hand of #GalileoGalilei as it can be seen in the #MuseoGalileo, Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza in #Florence:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%…

My personal highlight of this trip to Italy so far.

Yes, the #middlefinger gesture is old enough. Even old greeks and romans used it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_fing…

Maybe this (and the #catholicchurch forcing him to publicly revoke his findings) is why somebody decided to steal this part of his body when he was moved years after his death.

From now on, this picture will be awarded by me to anybody who is talking bullshit that was scientifically proven wrong already.

I authored a new Policy Proposal: "Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs"

Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs

This proposal suggests providing a mandate to the RIPE NCC to revoke resource certificates associated with longtime non-functional CAs to reduce Relying Party workloads.

#ElementX nutze ich schon länger parallel zu #Element für meine Chats.

Nun habe ich aber das neue #SchildiChat Next ausprobiert.

Es basiert auch auf ElementX, hat aber #Spaces integriert. Das gefällt mir sehr gut. Damit lassen sich z.B. Chaträume übersichtlich ordnen.

#Matrix ist für mich nach wie vor ne gute Sache. Ich würde es auch WhatsApp-Wechslern eher empfehlen als #Signal ... vor allem auch, weil man sich damit nicht vom Smartphone abhängig macht.

Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.

Finally figured out how to do a release on Github. It's confusing but I guess it has security advantages... Anyways I don't really provide support for this, but I use it every day, mostly with media player classic for streams. I dunno what else I need , for this thing accept for splitting the source code into files, so there's less load for people looking at the thing who aren't me. Just thinking about it for a while. github.com/serrebi/Accessible-…

This is the first executable release. You can still build newer source from the github using the instructions I've included. You must download the conf file from the Github, if you want channels to...

@Brandon I think in the simplest form possible, there is no need to build. Installing the dependencies including wxpython and sqlite is enough for directly running the python script.

I have another question, you have bound events when changing the selection of the listboxes on the main window and you are also handling arow key presses. Overriding up and down arrow keys affects selection reporting on linux. Navigating with page up and page down keys is working fine and it's accessible. Nawigating with arrow keys makes accessibility worse. Simply removing handling these key presses makes it work fine for me. Is there a reason you have implemented it like that please?

@Brandon Oh yes. You are so great and the update is working fine over here.
I am surprised you are making these tweaks on such a rapid pace. Originally I assumed I'll look into it and this is excelent outcome. Really a big thanks.

One more little thing I have discovered. I can't activate the menubar by pressing alt key or F10 key on linux, thus I'm googling if I can make it work.

@Brandon Damn, you have really made my day with such a simple and working app.
I am thinking about other little features such as ability to use either kodi or mpd (music player daemon) or even generic upnp devices (such as smart TV) over a network as a player.
Kodi and MPD appear to be doable easily, generic UPNP I have to research.
I think I'll try to calm down my-self from the excitement a bit and I'll try implementing these next weekend or so.

@Brandon I am just thinking out loud again. There is a command line client for MPD called MPC and a different one for kodi called kodi-send. These may not be that readily available on windows I am not sure.
So given all of this I can't decide between trying to come up with a generic template for an external players so we can add our own into the config or bother with networking stuff.

I am fixing all the media player paths and adding mac support, but UPNP will come once I split this into a few different files, sso I can deal with it affectively with AI. I'm kind of mixed on adding it, but I plan to add airplay/chromecast/UPNP as well. I don't know if it's worth it. I just want to send the URL's and if the devices can decode it that's it from me. I don't think this software is as required on MacOS, but it's not much effort to get it working aparrently.

@Brandon Excuse me for the late reply. All is working fine for me on arch linux now, except of the fact, setting up environment variable NO_AT_BRIDGE disables screen reader accessibility for wxgtk and with this variable setup, the app is no longer accessible with orca.
I haven't looked at the other variables but my guess is that except of UBUNTU_MENUPROXY we don't need setting up the others.

@Brandon The traceback on exit is now solved. Unfortunatelly the custom alt key handling does not appear to work for me here. I think trying to reimplement it from scratch is difficult.
I have discovered setting an environment variable like this in the main function before starting the wxpython app makes it work for me.
        os.environ["UBUNTU_MENUPROXY"] = "0"

In fact, I have sent you a pull request right when mentioning this issue here, but you might have overlooked that. Of course it no longer applies, so feel free to close it.

The media should always be vigorously defended from cynical politicians seeking to hide their bad actions or poor policies but it's also true they need a reckoning when they fail at their very core purpose of exposing the full facts of the day & creating an informed electorate🧵 #abpoli #cdnpoli #Wildfires #pipelines #Climate #ClimateChange

Boggling to watch towns across western Canada evacuating again in the face of what will be yet another super heavy wildfire season as Premiers from these same provinces bang the table for more pipelines. Equally boggling is our media STILL failing to make the obvious connection for us in any way /2 #abpoli #cdnpoli #Wildfires #pipelines #Climate #ClimateChange

Přátelé, tak dlouho jsem sledoval tyhle geniální animace, až jsem autorovi dneska napsal, jestli by souhlasil s tím, že je postupně budu dabovat do češtiny pro zdejší publikum. Chvilku jsme ladili, jak to udělat, ale od začátku byla odpověď jasná:
"я буду тільки радий, якщо ви поширюватимете мої анімації!"
(Budu jen rád, když budete mé animace dál sdílet!)
Takže si užijte první z mnoha dílů v kolaboraci s "Фріоніс", který je i po roce od prvního vydání stále aktuální! 🥰
