As a nuclear engineer, I have never been asked to show my portfolio of reactor designs I maintain in my free time, I have never been asked to derive the six-factor formula, the quantization of angular momentum, Brehmsstrahlung, or to whiteboard gas centrifuge isotopic separation, water hammer, hydrogen detonation, or cross-section resonance integrals.
There's something deeply wrong with an industry that presumes you're a fraud unless repeatedly and performatively demonstrated otherwise and treats the hiring process as a demented form of 80s-era fraternity hazing.
HTTP Upload on conversations.im is temporarily unavailable. Our hosting provider is working on resolving the issue.
In the meantime you should be able to get half decent results - at least in 1:1 chats - by long pressing the failed file transfer and selecting 'Retry as P2P'.
Millions of women entrusted their menstrual data in the period cycle app, Flo. But the court says Meta was intentionally eavesdropping on users' in-app communications.
Consumer Reports evaluated period tracker apps to find out how well they protect your privacy. The data the apps collect could be used against you in a post-Roe v. Wade world.
@drathir , probably I will never understand the women who need to lead such notes. I mean any notes for their m cycle. Because it is natural, intuitive, even easy. In 95% and even more the lady can feel and trust her body. It’s not like flush.. it takes time with regular and very precise warnings.
Pity that so many people can’t read or sense these body signals. Because they happen a day or even several days before.
Today is exactly twelve years ago since we created the lib/http2.c source file in the #curl source tree, and doing HTTP would never be the same again.
The paradigm shift going from one transfer per connection to possibly multiple transfers per connection was massive and took many years until most of the bugs were ironed out.
@icing well, if the spec is complete and unambiguous, it should be possible to describe the problem with a state machine? Then it should be possible to implement and verify it, or?
"And if you process reqest 1 and read from its socket, you may get data for request 2. etc."
Sorry, my mindset was shaped by doing Code for an ASIC (with an own communication protocol) --> and we knew: It has to work 99,99% bugfree with the first tape out. But it needs a lot of Testing and Verification to ensure that.
Guess make it perfect was not an option for you cause of the shipping delay.
Spotify JSON history to readable txt converter, an app to convert your Json Spotify data to friendly readable format has been released: This is a simple offline tool that converts Spotify's JSON streaming history into a clean, readable text file. It works entirely in your browser. It all started when my "Discover Weekly" playlist on Spotify refreshed and all the great songs I liked were gone. Unfortunately i was on the trip, and music was playing in the background, so i forgot to add those songs to the library. I checked the listening history in the app, but that only shows the last 50 tracks. Then I discovered that you can request your full listening data from Spotify, so I did it and received a ZIP with large JSON files. Files were technically readable, but not convenient at all, so I wrote a small HTML + JavaScript tool that converts them into a clean text file with just the date, artist, and track title. It works offline in your browser and makes the Spotify history actually useful. tdprograms.ovh/pfiles/SpotifyJ…
Well, thank you Amazon for alwasy having every darn thing I need. I needed a folder for my new blue badge, that allows us to use disabled parking when I'm out with Justine, for anyone who doesn't know, and I even managed to get a pink one! Woot!
No entiendo lo del “LB”. Lo veo mucho, y es como si me estuviera perdiendo algo. Como si “LB” fueran las siglas de “Mensaje fuera de contexto” en algún idioma que yo desconozco.
Sé que significa “last boost” y hace referencia al último toot que se ha hecho rt. Pero (a) ese toot no tiene por qué estar cerca y a veces obliga al lector a entrar en el perfil a buscar y (b) el toot con “LB” puede haber sido retooteado, y lo mismo se escribió hace varios días, lo que hace casi imposible encontrar el toot al que se refiere en su inicio.
Yo prefiero citar con mención y enlace al toot al que me refiero, de ese modo mi comentario queda ligado a él.
Y sintiéndolo mucho, he añadido “LB” a mis filtros. Porque en serio que no me entero de nada 🤣
Una opción alternativa (aunque entiendo a quien no le guste) es poner el tut del LB como respuesta al tut impulsado, borrando el nombre de usuario. El resultado es que se puede abrir el hilo y ver el tut impulsado directamente.
This is what I’ve been working on for last months at #CVUTFEL – electronic door sign for classrooms. 10.2" e-ink display, ESPink #ESP32 board from #Laskakit, battery (for some), a custom case, firmware and control server. Receives images via MQTT, sends telemetry back. #IoT
The case was designed in FreeCAD and printed it on Prusa MK3S and Prusa Core One. Firmware is built on Arduino SDK with patched GxEPD2_4G lib. Control server is written in TypeScript and runs on NodeJS. It renders screens to 2-bit grayscale PNG and sends via Mosquitto.
The price is ~115 EUR of you order the e-ink display and battery directly from China.
Most of this is my work, from the hardware up to the control server and also monitoring. It’s a very interesting project, a nice change from what I normally do because it’s a physical object. :)
This batch is 32 pieces and they will be installed mainly in Dejvice this month.
Today, we are remembering David Graeber, who passed away five years ago.
“Nothing could conceivably be more violent than to tell us—and particularly our young people—we are forbidden to even dream of a peaceful, caring world.”
Putin and Vucic met once again and officially they spoke about gas deliveries through Hungary. But strangely the transcript doesn't mention that Ukraine interrupted these deliveries last month.
So they must have spoken about something else pressing that cannot make it into the official transcripts. Right now Russia could hardly afford sending any form of support to violently suppress protests. So...?
Cooperation with Russia at the highest level is of vital importance for Serbia, and especially with regard to Russian gas supplies, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Monday at the start of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Be…
Now now, you're giving me some interesting news to read. Honestly, am I surprised? No. Maybe he does want to escape. 😂 From what exactly does he want to escape, I'd want to wonder, but okay. His country doesn't look that bad to me.
Oh, I can't see the post, don't have bsky, and they haven't fixed accessibility. I went there not recently, but people didn't look worried or unhappy to me, or maybe there are places where it's not that widely seen. I haven't asked others who've gone, so I can't say more, but I won't also say that it's definitely not good with the whole happenings in the recent few years, nowhere has been good tbf.
Are you in Brazil this week? The World Blindness Summit and WBU General Assembly are taking place in São Paulo and NV Access are there!
From 9am on Wednesday 3rd (10pm Australian Eastern time), as part of the "Nothing About Us Without Us" panel, NV Access director Emma Bennison speaks on "Why Should Blind People Lead Their Organisations?"
At 2:30PM (3:30AM AEST), NV Access General Manager James Boreham, and Emma Bennison speak about "NVDA, A Global and Resilient Movement: Community-Driven Access to Digital Inclusion" as part of a panel on "Digital Access for All."
For those interested in streaming the world blind union today, the link we posted earlier was for day 1. You could get to today's link through there, but here is a direct link to the English stream for today: youtube.com/live/32IYXSanUXw
As I start into my office life, well sort of, I wondered if the #Blind have any tips or resources using #NVDASR with the typical MS Office programs and co. I'm familiar with Word, but what about Outlook (Mail and Calendar) Teams etc? I've never worked with these really, so anything is appreciated. @mastoblind @NVAccess
We have training material on some of the main office modules (Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint).
Microsoft do have pages of shortcut keys for the various programs, eg here is their page for Teams: support.microsoft.com/en-us/of…
Often it is a matter of getting used to how your particular employer works, eg even in Word, they might send you suggested changes, but whether they do that in comments, track changes or highlighted text will vary which features you need to know :)
The stupid, it burns. This guy is US Secretary of Energy and blithely puts certifiably and grossly and embarrassingly incorrect statements on social media.
alien: earth is so so good. I had real concerns with the early ep disney stuff but the last couple eps have been amazing. love the photography, bold choices on soundtrack that really work for me (PUMPKINS), great characters, pitch perfect casting.
EDIT: these were just from the top of my head, there are quite few others too, among which @kaidan / libervia by @Goffi / @monocles / @cheogram (this list _not_ exhaustive)
@nicoco @prose @dino @movim @daniel @kaidan @Goffi @monocles @cheogram interesting projects, but I'm more so interested in an app that provides a modern and consistent experience across platforms - think Signal, but powered by XMPP.
I think you should be able to only restore your local Homeserver's data in Matrix and let it backfill all the other data from the originating servers. If you can't do that what's the point ??

Our current “democracy” is not fit for the challenges of preserving complex life on Earth—it functions more like a kleptocracy. Ordinary people need to reclaim governance by building what they call a “House of the People,” where wisdom—not wealth or power alone—drives decision-making.
It's a hopeful discussion of what is possible, and indeed what is actually being done.
When people have experienced ways to bring Power to those with Wisdom and Wisdom to those with Power, then they’ll work together to make it a reality at a larger scale.
An update to Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine that targets the newest variants and is made entirely within Canada's borders was just approved by Health Canada.
Federal public servants took fewer sick days during peak pandemic remote work, but sick leave has now risen to pre-COVID levels, with 9.2 days on average in 2023–24.
How to easily integrate a XMPP server with Akkoma or Pleroma. In the following we will concentrate on Akkoma (a better Pleroma fork), but Pleroma should work more or less the same.
something to warn users about with these integrations is that they don't support Channel Binding (or at least I don't think they do).
Channel Binding is something I would like to enable by default in a not too distant future and I hope that other clients move with me.
It will still be possible to disable because there are obviously deployments where this can not be avoided but it would be nice if we could keep those to a minimum.
I assume as long as SASL-SCRAM-plain is the only way to achive auth integration with other system, there is really no way around that. Channel Binding is a nice feature, but personally I find it much lower priority than auth integration.
Maybe you could look into supporting Oauth2/OIDC login flows in Conversations? At least Prosody seems to have good support for this now, and I think this might be the only realistic way to have both Channel Binding and auth integration.
@kris As far as I’m aware the oauth support in @prosodyim is for authenticating other apps against existing prosody users. Meaning the user database of Prosody would be the source of truth which would allow Conversations to use channel binding. So yes I agree that this would be the better approach to integrations. But I don’t think Conversations is much involved here.
@kris @prosodyim To be clear I think integrations are good. We shouldn’t prioritize between integration and channel binding and instead - from the get go - find ways to have both.
@daniel @kris The OIDC/OAuth2 project for @prosodyim does support both internal and external user databases. The focus was on allowing fine-grained permission and not exposing passwords to web clients, but the resulting SASL middleware made it easy to support external identity providers.
The federal judge let Google off the hook in the antitrust case that the company supposedly lost. He said no to any serious remedy. And he indirectly killed Mozilla (Firefox and Thunderbird).
A good day for Google, and a terrible day for what's left of the open web.
After an amazing long run of stability it has been decided that I am back on the job market and available to work for a new employer. I prefer to remain in the #accessibility space, but I guess beggers can't be choosers and all that jazz. I'm doing my own search but if anyone out here is on a team needing help or has any job leads, I would really appreciate making the connection. #CPWA #WCAG #Salesforce
The NFB recently advertised two open positions in accessibility advocacy that were circulated here on the Fediverse. I assume you would need authorization to work in the United States for those roles, so they may or may not apply to you. I looked at them myself, but I'm not looking for advocacy work - rather, I wish to be in more research and policy-oriented positions that ideally also emphasize contributing to the scholarly literature (e.g., academic or policy organizations).
Sorry, my mindset was shaped by doing Code for an ASIC (with an own communication protocol) --> and we knew: It has to work 99,99% bugfree with the first tape out. But it needs a lot of Testing and Verification to ensure that.
