@cachondo Thank you for being a long time JAWS user. We wanted to create a training series to celebrate features that had a huge impact at the time of their release. This training series is also designed to help ones who are new to using JAWS, some of whom were not even born yet in 2002, learn about all the features available in JAWS. Maybe you know someone new to using a screen reader that may benefit from this training?
wanna give a huge shout-out to Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky for gifting us some absolutely stunning colour photographs from Russia in the 1910s.
YEAH YOU READ THAT RIGHT. he took three photographs of each subject, through coloured filters, and then projected the images again through the filters and superimposed them.
and thus, we have colour photography of early 20th century Russia. and it's beautiful.

@analog_ashley and I LOVED Andor, and I'm psyched to be sitting on a Comic-Con panel about it this very week -- if you're at Comic-Con you can catch our panel about Andor and Resistance on July 24th at noon and if not, you can dive deep into the psychology of dissenters and coalitions with this episode!
SHOW NOTES Dominic Packer’s Normative Conflict Model of Dissent is described in this paper as well as his other work: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1088868307309606 Cat also mentions Mina Cikara’s work on coalitional cognition....
Sergey has been of great help for my minor stumblings of trying to write #ObjC #GTK bindings for #ObjFW. He's got formidable knowledge und deep insight into #GObject especially and Cxx languages in general.

Actually it's a genius idea to ask them for VAT. Because it puts a price tag on the so called "free" and given how they avoid paying their fair share of taxes....
> A toxicologist at UC Davis got his hands on a disposable e-cigarette, the kind that’s popular amongst teens and young adults with broccoli haircuts. He decided to test it for various metal contamination, and found such a high concentration of lead that his first reaction was to assume his equipment was malfunctioning.
We got rid of (most of) the leaded gas but the children, they yearn for lead. And thus, a new study shows that 1) Gen X is fucked thanks to their childhood lead exposure and 2) younger generations are sucking on vapes that are chock full of the shit …

Trump has told the Wall Street Journal its reporters are not welcome on his visit to Scotland. As a Scot living 3 miles from Trump's Turnberry golf course, I can tell you the unwelcome visitor is Trump. He's despised in Scotland & he'll be met by 1000s channelling the late great Janey Godley.

🛡️ "Stop Subverting Sandboxes" with Michael Catanzaro at #GUADEC2025 📅 25 July 🕒 13:40 CEST 📍 Brescia
🔒 Flatpak can protect users—but not if we keep bypassing it. Michael calls for stronger sandboxing, better portals, and shares GNOME’s new security bounty program.

Apps on Flathub need to ship with more hardened permissions out of the box. No full access to / or ~ where you'd only need the downloads folder. Don't approve apps that ask for more than they actually need.
you already get the choices presented to you in a fairly straightforward manner if you install flatseal but even then you have to go out of your way to change the settings from the typically insane defaults
@soop I’ve always felt that it was a missed opportunity for them to do the old Android way of letting the app’s publisher decide what permissions it wants, instead of letting the user decide like iOS and modern Android do
@violetstone @soop Flatpak and GNOME do rely on runtime permissions in the form of Portals, similar to the permissions model on iOS and Android. There are a number of static permissions that had to exist to transition from an entirely unsandboxed model to a permissions model where we actually provide an API and user control over what apps can do.
XDG Desktop Portal allow Flatpak apps, and other desktop containment frameworks, to interact with the system in a secure and well defined way. This documentation covers everything you need to know ...
@violetstone @soop for more background on the reality of the Flathub security model, I recommend reading this blog post; I wrote it to help explain it pretty in depth:

i wonder how this works for business travels e.g. from the EU. where you, like, dunno - signed an NDA or some state secrets? like on a encrypted disc, encryption method certified by whatever agency.
> meet customer in the u.s. > immigrarion officers: password or jail
and may god (or whatever you belive in) be with you when you dont have the corp admin password that is used by your IT department
I have a flash drive on my keyring (the one holding the house key), with a LUKS encrypted file system on it, to be mounted using the loopback device. The password is also on it but GPG encrypted, and my GPG keyring is not on this flash drive. The flash drive was reformatted so it contains an EXT4 file system, so someone plugging it in might not even be able to get started. Would that be illegal? I use it as an "in case the house burns down" backup.
I wish I could say I'm surprised. About 5 years ago, I'd be in shock. Not anymore, our country's going to hell, and we're taking the long long painful way and it sucks. In about 6 months from Jan of this year to now, nothing feels certain or safe anymore. So this sadly does not surprise me
Seems to be, they passed some moronic personal beliefs bullshit to excuse medical professionals from having to treat people. Fingers crossed someone refuses to treat the jackass who came up with that because it goes against their beliefs.

All the countless hours spent on the #Linux Desktop Migration Tool are finally paying off! My wife got a new laptop yesterday. I installed #Fedora #Silverblue on it, created a user account, connected it to the home network, and left the migration tool running overnight. She could start using the new laptop without any interruption in the morning, and the whole thing took like 15 minutes of my time.
@garrett at the moment it only supports direct migration. Doing a "backup" is something I'm considering, but I would have to completely rework the script because it's run on the destination machine, not the origin. Now the only workaround is having a 3rd machine (e.g. a VM), migrate the data and settungs there and then migrate them from there to the new installation.
Just out of curiosity I tried vibecoding a GUI app (written in Python, GTK and libadwaita) based on the migration script in Cursor. It really rewrote every feature, created a desktop file, AppStream metadata, icon, flatpak manifest... I started getting an existential crisis... and then it tried to build and run it and was running into dependency issues and cutting features until it got down to a simple demo window that finally worked. 🙂
@electricCZ it would look nice as a desktop app, wouldn't it? But I don't have time for it and I'm not definitely gonna vibecode it. It would be unmaintainable bloatware. I asked it to optimize the ssh connections in the script and it added 120 new lines. I asked it to come up with a more intuitive directory selection and it added 600 lines (the current one isn't ideal, but it's only 40 lines of code).
How did you manage the migration of GNOME config files? My usual experience with DEs is that it's impossible to migrate all configurations and settings that I "clicked" in the GUI.
Yeah, and that's the problem. I literally lose my mind creating DEs and basically all GUI software solutions for Linux by breaking the Unix philosophy and, by small steps, leading towards a mainstream Microsoft-like solution.
I still can't understand why DEs don't have a centralized directory to store all configurations, which can be transferred to another computer, and settings for the whole workspace are just done.
@VildaVedo yeah, it requires a lot of cherry picking of settings, not great, but it's doable. For example after the migration I can open Evolution and start where I stopped at the previous machine, but in order to do that, I have to reinstall Evo, move the app data, migrate dconf settings, migrate the NSS database (for certificates), migrate GOA configs (for online accounts), migrate the keyring (for secrets), migrate GPG keys. And if you do all this, you get the wow moment when you open Evo on the new machine and it's the same and ready to use.
@paoloredaelli it's sort of leftover from assumptions at the very beginning of the project. It thought it'd be good to have the prerequisity to avoid any potential breakages. But I don't think it's necessary and it's actually something I can handle in the script. I'll add it to my todo list to get rid of it.
