#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings 19 updated & 2 added apps:

* Mousedroid: transform your Android phone in an input peripheral; mouse, keyboard, or numpad 🛡️
* RvKernel Manager: a powerful and user-friendly open-source tool for managing your kernel settings (root needed) 🛡️

Our RB reports will be a bit late today, as one of our builders dropped off the network (we're on it) & the other runs all builds 🙈

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

@shadowwwind To be fair, it's easier to get RB at IoD than at F-Droid, if you didn't establish it that way from the start. At F-Droid, that would mean a switch of the signing key then (as without RB, the APKs get signed by F-Droid) – which then would mean for everyone to uninstall and re-install. And first to know you had to, as you'd simply get no update information anymore (incompatible signature)… At IoD, we always ship the APKs built & signed by the resp. developers, so it's easier.

Single page apps can be problematic for assistive technology users.

TPGi's Doug Abrams explains some code examples that will help improve the accessibility of your app.

👁️ super short note: placeholder perfidy

"I made the mistake in a recent article of using the placeholder attribute content to illustrate when a label is not correctly associated the text label does not provide an accessible name."

Anybody ever ran into synchronization issues with e.g. Davinci Resolve and #Rusticl ?

I fixed some issues with gl_sharing and wondering if that resolves it for everybody as well: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…

18 Years to the day that I went out and bought the final Harry Potter novel, I'm still reading fanfiction based upon the characters. I had left it all behind for over a decade when the story was finally done, but I've been drawn back in strongly over the last 4 or 5 years.

My daughter is 14 and is really looking forward to the TV series to see the characters she already knows in a different light, and a couple years back when I was still a school teacher, I was shocked to see children drawn into the world not through the books and then the movies based thereupon, but from the Fantastic Beasts / Grindelwald films, an entire 'nother entry point into the saga.

It's powerful to see that an author has gone from being a wonderful luminary around children's charities to a practically despised and hated figure over trans rights. I would also love to peep into a parallel world where Pottermania wasn't a thing and the books were modest successes, just to see how the ending would really have been without all the pressure.
Part of the reason I devour the fanfiction is that I don't remember ever feeling the ending of the original stories were particularly satisfying, so seeing so many variations and outgrowths of the possibilities are a balm.

In a recent Bloomberg Technology interview, Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the widespread belief that building smartphones in the U.S. is economically unfeasible. Purism’s Liberty Phone—manufactured with made-in-USA electronics—stands as working proof.

Weaver pointed out a crucial detail: the Trump T1 is essentially a rebranded Chinese-made Wingtech device.

Und dann wären da noch die Dinge, die mit KI-Unterstützung richtig gut funktionieren können, vorausgesetzt man hat eine gute Idee. Ich arbeite hin und wieder mit CSV-Daten und wollte schon immer einen schlanken Editor haben, ohne gleich ein Office oder eine Web-App nutzen zu müssen. Herausgekommen ist Sivvy, ein CSV-Editor für das Terminal. Wer sich über mein Gefrickel amüsieren möchte, Quellcode gibts auf GitHub und unter gleichem Pfad auf Codeberg ⬇️

This is interesting: this combination of a circuit breaker (black lever) and RCD (white lever) can trigger the white lever down by pressing the T button even if the black lever is down.
I guess this means the power is brought from the bottom. And only thanks to the extra switch in the T circuit, magical smoke does not leave the device when holding the T button for a longer time.

You can tell a German wrote this, because that's not the order those words go in in English ;)

My background is in #AI and ML, even though I’m not working on it directly now.

One of the reasons is that I’m utterly disgusted by the kind of people who have taken over this field.

These are the same kind of sociopath cynical anarcho-capitalist cryptobros who screwed up the few good ideas about Blockchain and transformed it into just another speculative financial instrument.

And you know why I hate them from the bottom of my heart, why I believe that they have negative added value for society?

Because the previous generations of computer engineers, those who gave us the digital computer, modern operating systems and the Internet, would NEVER get a boner thinking of how many jobs they would have replaced. They didn’t repeat all the times “this will make all office clerks redundant so I can keep all the money for myself, it’s so beautiful!”

No, their focus was just on building things that improved society.

Not on creating chatbots that consumed as much energy as a country, and dreaming about how long it’d take them to kick people out of jobs and screw their lives.

And they don’t even bother to think how to prepare anybody for the transition, or how to build a sustainable post-employment world.

No, the only mission of these filthy motherfuckers is to make them and their shareholders disgustingly rich. Millions losing their jobs in the process is just a small collateral effect in the way of their wealth.

These are parasites screwing up one great idea after another just because they need a next-big-thing wagon to jump on and get rich. They are literally reversed Midas who turn whatever they touch into shit.

This kind of people would belong to a psychiatric facility in a functioning society, but unfortunately in today’s ultracapitalist world they are seen as technological gods - and even inspire new generations of tech enthusiasts to be jerks.

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat, which transforms into 'the world's largest mirror' (used for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites) during the rainy season, when a thin layer of water covers the surface. This creates a breathtaking natural phenomenon where the sky and clouds are perfectly reflected, offering surreal and stunning views.

But they only collect data about you to offer you a better service, right?

I've always said that letting companies collect data about you only weakens your bargaining power.

On weekend I managed to connect all my selfhosted services that support it to the #Keycloak #SSO (single sign on).
Namely #Mastodon #Peertube #NextCloud #FreshRSS #Matomo and #grafana

Why to bother with such complication for apps serving only a couple of users?
First it's quite easy nowadays.
And second, because I want to get rid of passwords and just use #passkeys .

This is one of many examples showing that good apps should just focus on one task and just use standards to cooperate with other apps focusing on other tasks.

Peertube for example focuses on videos, not user management. I am very OK that they don't support passkeys, because they implemented OpenId Connect standard to allow me use Keycloak for better login options.

On the other hand, I am quite sad that SSO is often the one feature, that is proprietary and reserved only for paying customers. SSO is not for huge corporations anymore. It's also usefull for us, selfhosters with couple of users.

❤️ :opensource: :keycloak:
