Počet vojáků, kteří zahynuli nebo byli zraněni na Ukrajině, překročil podle generálního štábu ukrajinských ozbrojených sil hranici milionu. Tvrzení o obětech na ruské straně se shodují i s odhady západních zpravodajů.

Great day yesterday at #Devconf . Many in-depth discussions after my talk at the @fsfe booth, most of the time together with @llas .
@sofiaritz and @Tobias had a full #FreeYourAndroid workshop, showing people how to flash their phones and the rest of the time had a busy time at the #FSFE booth as well.
Big thank you to all who attended my talk, and to those who joined us at the booth.

With the launch of Android 16 earlier this week, Google did not release the Pixel hardware repos and device trees...Abner Li (9to5Google)
I'd like to be wrong about this but I think that the combination of this:

and this earlier announcement:

... effectively means that Android is now no longer an open source project in any way that matters, at least for anyone who's not an OEM.
Google says this change will simplify things for developers and OEMs.Ryan Whitwam (Ars Technica)

Accessibility Overlays
In this episode, Desiree and I discuss those terrible accessibility overlays that promise to make websites more accessible while actually doing little to improve accessibility. As Desiree's demonstration shows, these overlays are hard to use, don't behave consistently, and provide little in the way of greater access.

"'Secretary Noem, you should resign,’ Cortez Masto said in a post on X. ‘You're head of Homeland Security and you can't take a question from a sitting U.S. Senator at a press conference? This level of abuse of power is shameful, outrageous, and is not doing anything to keep our homeland safe.’”

Meta does not indicate to users what their privacy settings are as they post, or where they are even posting to. So, if you log into Meta AI with Instagram, and your Instagram account is public, then so too are your searches.Amanda Silberling (TechCrunch)

Sensitive content
You can watch this happen almost in real time with Kristy Noam herself. When asked at the press conference, her tone is fairly consiliatory: what we saw was inappropriate, we’ve been trying to meet with him, but I’ll meet with him after this meeting and see waht his concerns are.
That was before she got her marching orders. Her tone on Fox news is much different:
youtube.com/watch?v=9XgL76jnFJ…
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., did not identify himself as he interrupted the event on 'The Story.' #foxnews #news...YouTube
This man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podeum, interrupting me and elevating his voice and was stopped, did not identify himself, and was removed from the room. As soon as he identified himself, appropriate actions were taken.
Suddenly she is spinning with multiple falsehoods, to create the impression she was in danger somehow, possibly fearing for her life. It is the only play in Trump’s playbook: never back down. Because it works.
Hypothetically, if, rather than putting the cuffs on him, one of the agents just pulled their side arm and shot him in the back of the head. The talking points from Republicans would be exactly the same. Because they do not care about what’s true. It’s all about what they can get away with. Right now, they’re getting away with a lot.

Google’s disclaimer says AI “may include mistakes,” which is an understatement.Ryan Whitwam (Ars Technica)
If a user’s expectations about how a tool functions don’t match reality, you’ve got yourself a huge user experience and security problem.
Humans have built a schema around AI chat bots and do not expect their AI chat bot prompts to show up in a social media style Discover feed — it’s not how other tools function.
Because of this, users are inadvertently posting sensitive info to a public feed with their identity linked, including prompts with:
- exact medical issues
- federal crimes committed
- tax evasion
- home address
- interest in extramarital affairs
- sensitive court details
- private photos of unclothed children
- audio asking personal questions
- private upcoming travel plans
- questions about the legality of actions
- challenges in personal relationships
- feeling shame with disabilities
What do I recommend as next steps for Meta and other orgs considering a public AI chat bot prompt feed?
1. Pause the public Discover feed. Your users clearly don’t understand that their AI chat bot prompts have been made public.
2. Ensure all AI chat bot prompts are private by default. This goes for all future AI chat bots as well. Don’t wait for users to accidentally post their secrets publicly. Notice that humans interact with AI chatbots with an expectation of privacy, and meet them where they are at.
3. Alert users who have posted their prompts publicly and that their prompts have been removed for them from the feed to protect their privacy.
If I’m able to watch users inadvertently admitting to federal crimes and posting unclothed pictures of their children to the Meta AI Discover Prompt feed, they clearly don’t understand how it works!
Meta: Pause the product, bake in clear strong privacy, and help users fix their accidental prompt posts.
It’s time to make it right.
Here is a redacted user asking Meta AI about how to ask a judge to not sentence them to death for the murder of 2 people.
Clearly Meta users do not believe their Meta AI prompts are publicly available. This one is tied to the user’s identity with elements of their username which I’ve redacted.
If your family, friends, and coworkers aren’t aware that Meta AI chat bot prompts can be easily and accidentally posted to a social media-like feed, please inform them so they can keep their sensitive questions private.
Imagine if Google searches were surprisingly showing up on a new social media feed, this would devastate folks.
Hey y'all, I'm starting an "ALT After Dark" account, inspired by the wonderful @alttexthalloffame! The goal would be to encourage good alt-text on NSFW image posts, as well as showcasing shining examples of spicy alt-text.
Why? Because #AccessibilityIsHotAF, that's why.
What are our goals?
- Promote quality adult content that focuses on consent, community, and accessibility (great alt-text, proper CWs & hashtags) ❤️🔥
- Reduce the prevalence of porn-bot and repost accounts that post without subject consent, without alt-text or CWs, engage in hashtag spam, and lower the safety / enjoyment of folx on Fedi 🚫
- Engage positively with the community and generally be wholesome-ish 😉
How will we do it?
- With well-vetted human volunteers.
- By leading by example.
- With the help if the community.
What do we need?
- An ideal instance to host us.
- An effort to make the Fediverse a better place.
- Volunteers (of which we already have several).
Thoughts on all of this?

#AudioMo Day 12 (because I haven't been bothering to actually label these with the day, for some reason:
On the late afternoon of August 5, 2010, we had quite a thunderstorm, during which, an ice cream van was driving around the neighborhood playing Christmas tunes. Someone didn't get the memo, I guess.
When it played 'Silent Night' during this very not silent thunderstorm, I kind of lost it. I can even be heard in this recording attempting to suppress my having lost it, before running away and closing the door, so I could bust out laughing somewhere else, and not mess up the recording.
This was produced with an Olympus DM-520 connected to an Audio Technica AT-822 single-point stereo microphone hanging out of a bathroom window. As I recall, the positioning of the microphone was not optimal, so I did some re-processing of the stereo image.
I don’t know if any of you have used the app, jacket.FM. But I hear that people are having trouble getting into it today. I have also been hearing that the developer plans to close it down and make a different app.www.applevis.com
