Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is delaying a requirement for automakers that sell in Canada to begin hitting minimum sales levels for electric vehicles next year
Proxmox VE also enables SLAAC on all interfaces by default, so your host may be accessible over IPv6 on interfaces, you didn't even configure IPv6 on. You also can't see the auto generated IPv6 addresses in the WebGUI. :D
@subnetspider agreed 💯, Linux networking is horribly subpar compared to FreeBSD and Solaris/Illumos. it's a shame that so many people form opinions of linux network stacks without being exposed to alternatives which don't suffer random breaking changes on kernel upgrades, where the environment isn't lorded over by self-proclaimed dictators.
elaborate please. when i worked at the UI the networking team was extremely into how great we did at running a dual-stack open campus network and i haven't heard many critiques of Happy Eyeballs.
@emory which Happy Eyeballs? v1, v2, v3 ? (uhoh!) The reason we have v3 now is... critiques!
If we ever do achieve an IPv6-only world (big doubt), now we have to expend effort to rip all of that out from every library that expended the effort to add it. Every new implementation gets more complex.
This probably wasn't the day I wanted to read about Carney's efforts to protect the auto sector from EV rules : firesmoke.ca/

Your wife has just given birth in a barn. You're certain the kid's not yours, and the three random guys who all look different kinds of crazy rich suddenly showing up with loot bags aren't doing anything to change your mind. Then - the words "biblically accurate" haven't been invented yet - a gaggle of the absolutely wildest creatures you have ever seen appear and start singing. A kid wanders in beating a toy drum, why not. You rub your eyes for a second and look up to see a supernova pop off.
WebSocket has been supported by curl as a non-experimental feature since version 8.11.0 (November 6 2024). With the upcoming release of version 8.16.0, we are taking it a step further.
Back-to-school seasoning may be winding down, but Thunderbird is seeing where we make the grade (and don’t) with accessibility. Learn about our recent a11y study and find how to help us make Thunderbird accessible to everyone!
Hmm, hold on a sec. You said: In JAWS, message bodies were unreadable in email and compose windows with Braille display. That is simply not true. I use Thunderbird successfully with JAWS and a braille display. I'm able to read message bodies, compose and reply to messages. Curious as to how this was determined?
@mcourcel This study is definitely only the start of our accessibility research, and we'd love for screenreader users to join our UX mailing list to share their experiences and be involved in future work and based on much more feedback. thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…
@mcourcel Yes really I was just in there yesterday. Why would they say such a thing and who did they consult and how was it determined? And here's hoping they're not about to break it and in so doing make it a reality.
@robini71 This study is definitely only the start of our accessibility research, and we'd love for more screenreader users to join our UX mailing list to share their experiences and be involved in future work, which will be based on substantial user testing and feedback. thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…
@robini71 @mcourcel Souhnds like they did some testing with users. But, objectively some results of this testing are iffy. I think this probably falls into the user not knowing their screen reader category.
@ppatel This study was done with experienced screen reader users who were new to Thunderbird. This study is a part of our ongoing efforts to make our products more accessible, and we'd always love to have more feedback from existing Thunderbird users who use assistive tech like screen readers at our UX mailing list: thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…
Florida is ending vaccine mandates. What do Canadian travellers need to know? Before you get to the linked article, where CBC News gives you their ideas on what Canadian travellers should know, here's what I say they should know and do, or rather not do. If you value your health, and have an ounce of intelligence, just don't. Travel to Florida, that is. cbc.ca/news/health/florida-vac… #cbc #topstories #news #canada
The vaccine-denying idiots and elimination supporters may feel free to rain shit down on this thread, and even unfollow. That's really okay, I promise. But know this. We live in a world of society, not a world of solo. Vaccine mandates aren't about any one person's life or choices or supposed freedom or autonomy, its about keeping an entire society safe. It goes beyond just you. And for the group of people who are most vulnerable, children, think about them, before you put your faith in some idiots trying to win political points. Health sciences exist for a reason, and these mandates were put in place many years ago, across many major diseases for damn good reasons, and based on very real, tragic experiences, and lots, and lots, and lots of death.
Have you ever thought about the phrase "earn a living"? About how messed up it is? The idea you need to "earn" your life and place in the world?
(I hadn't considered the dizzying toxicity of this phrase until it came up on We Can Do Hard Things - Abby Wambach's podcast that has absolutely nothing to do with soccer.)
The feeling behind the phrase "earn a living" - the idea that you have to do in order to be - is everywhere in our society. Including in open source.
For over a decade, I've been working to help open source newcomers make their first contribution. But what if just being there was contribution enough? And what if the pressure to contribute isn't just a barrier to newcomers, but to maintainers who a…
Open source projects are complex. People have trouble finding tasks. Trouble setting up dev environments and running tests. Trouble understanding the concepts the project relies on. How to navigate the docs. Who to ask for help.
It's really hard, and that puts pressure on maintainers to make it easier. If you've prepped for a sprint or hackathon you know that vetting a 'good first issue' to make sure it actually is a good first issue usually takes more work than just fixing the issue would.
The ability to simply be ourselves and feel good about it, without having to prove ourselves through achievement, is a cornerstone of psychological health. It is a hallmark of good relationships to be liked for who you are instead of what you can do. To know that even if you mess up - and even if you do absolutely nothing - you are cared for, you belong, you are loved.
Open source contributors are not the only one who struggle under this pressure: open source maintainers have it even worse.
Unlike new contributors, who struggle to find things they can do, maintainers are often overwhelmed by things to do. But, though the reason they cannot do the tasks is different, it's the same fundamental problem.
Both the contributor and maintainer feel the pressure to do what they cannot do, rather than getting to simply be.
The new contributor feels like a failure and leaves the project. The maintainer feels like a failure, and burns out.
Even worse, this can become a self-reinforcing cycle. The maintainer blames themselves for not finding ways to help newcomers contribute. They didn't do enough to help the newcomer do things. The newcomer feels like even more of a burden to the maintainer. See how overwhelmed the maintainer seems? Maybe they'd be better off leaving.
There was an interesting discussion in the SFWA discord and a tangential topic was men and reading.
So I’m curious. Men, of any age. Are you a reader? I broke it down into Avid - More than 20 books a year Sometimes - Less than 20 a year Don’t read - Self explanatory I hope.
Please share far and wide. 100% not scientific and feel free to reply with genres and any other color commentary you like in the replies.
So it's interesting. I used to read/listen to audio books a lot more while I was in middle/high school, but then when I got to college that dropped drastically. I want to get back into it again, I never disliked reading, just never felt like I had the time.
@ZBennoui I've been trying to recall if I read much in college (my 1.5 years of it) and think my reading dropped to zero then too. then just.... picked right back up.
It's so interesting that it's rarely a conscious decision, just a thing that happens.
Let me get this. Those that don't want the EV mandate would be the one that would never vote for the PM party. (they got a pipeline with the previous PM)
Hello world! 👋 Greetings from the #LibreOffice Conference in Budapest. Of course, this is just one part of the wider LibreOffice community that makes the software – consisting of hundreds of people around the world. Join them! #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware
Over the past ~2 months, we've opened hundreds of PRs, upstreaming #IzzyOnDroid metadata to the corresponding apps' repositories using Fastlane structures (gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…). Most of them have been merged already, about 100 are still open.
* if you received such PR and haven't merged it yet, please merge! * if you didn't receive such PR for your app(s) hosted with us, please let us know!
Once all is settled, our consolidated metadata can finally be made public in a git repo
What the hell is this "awe dropping" shit Apple are touting? I have just been in a 40 minute corporate session of absolute and total balls around this terminology.
Any #Rockbox users looked at the Innioasis Y1 yet? The port is still being tinkered with, but it's a much cheaper option than a refurbed iPod classic. Obviously as a blind person you get no real text-to-speech output in files, but you do get a decent battery, USB-C, bluetooth and perhaps eventually wifi, a supposedly solid DAC and all the other benefits of Rockbox for a $50 USD device. Yes, it's a cheap Chinese plastic thing, but ... well. I have fallen into ponds with technology aboard.
I had a poke at this Innioasis device last week. It's running Android 4.something. I could not even bother with Rockbox and just throw Eloquence onto it. Writing a wrapper to open and read plaintext would be half a day, getting my head back into java (not used any JDK stuff since my GCSEs).
"unread, Starlink, Weather Resilient & High-Speed," Oh yeah? But is it also resistant to at-will control of maniacal leaders who want to feel like they're on top of the world, huh? Nope, passing, moving on.
Yo @ThePSF the vendor you use for the board election ballot is not screen reader accessible. Does that then mean that me and other blind people are unable to vote?

Canada desperately needs to decouple from a self-inflicted dying empire.
The world is moving in one direction (EVs, PV energy and other clean energy) and the old is doubling down on Coal and Oil and protecting ICE vehicle manufacturers while gutting research and science programs.
**Stop protecting dying industries and read the financial and economic tea leaves neoliberals.**
Why, is Canada as a country lowering our standards and ambitions to appease an administration who is clearly not interested in leading the world anymore where the money and technology is obviously pointing.
We're not even talking about the moral and climate change aspects, so it's something even the most money motivated people can understand.
Rant over and we will now resume normal programming 😁
Canada is a failed petro-state. And that's what we need to get out of.
It's gonna be a long and hard journey. When you see the state violence unleashed on environmental activist, vs the velvet gloves used to remove insurrectionist... you know were the bar is.
What's up with NVDA's start and end markers? I know they're unreliable for large blocks of text, but I just tried to use them for about 20 lines of PHP in VSCode and they failed. I marked the start, moved to the end, hit nvda-f10, and was told "no start marker set". Do they not work in VSCode at all? I always have trouble with this feature, so often forget about it. It feels like each time I remember and try it, it doesn't work right.
@FreakyFwoof @cachondo Oh, I thought it was for anywhere, so you don't have to try to navigate while holding shift. For instance, mark the start, use a search, or jump to matching brace, or some other movement command, then mark the end. I actually didn't realize it was usable with the review cursor. This will make copying text out of terminal windows easier.
In terms of using it where there's an actual cursor, though, you'd assume there's some sort of selection feature in your editor *MS word has extend selection with f8, for example). VSCode has an expand selection thing, alt+shift+right? I don't quite remember sorry. Never understood why you can't give go to line a range in these editors
@cachondo @FreakyFwoof VSCode also has a selection marker, ctrl-k then b. Navigate normally, then use ctrl-k then k to select from the cursor to the mark. But I like the idea of NVDA handling this, since each program will have its own key commands, if it has the mechanism at all.
@FreakyFwoof I THINK IT@S BEYOND NVDA@S scope, certainly in core. I absolutely see the need for marker for the review cursor because you can't pull text off the screen normally. But in any editable area where you already have a movable cursor? Not a feature I've found myself missing.
@cachondo @FreakyFwoof Also, thanks for the reminder of alt-shift-right. I hadn't really played with it before. It's handy for selecting more and more when you start in a nested bit of code, it seems. I'll have to try it more to get a better handle on how it works.
@FreakyFwoof @cachondo While start/end markers are indeed for the review cursor, by default, the review cursor is configured to follow the system caret, so the scenario of setting a start marker, moving with arrows across some text, and then selecting or copying it should absolutely be possible, unless you turned this following off with NVDA+6.
@NikJov @FreakyFwoof not in VS Code, though, which uses a paginated input field. I can see how it might work in a virtual document which NVDA can access all of.
My Google Pixel 9 Pro just got an update to Material Expressive, and it makes the dynamic colors in #Conversations_im way too intense for my taste. Remember that you can turn off 'Colorful chat bubbles' in the interface settings.
I don't know - at this point, the 'primary and secondary surface' theme colors maybe aren't meant for things like chat bubbles anymore. Anyway, the setting to turn them off is already there. Or go back to the default (non-dynamic) theme.
@habib95 @picolo69 Thanks for reporting, we"ll look into this. However, spam is defined by multiple factors by these services, not just the sending address.
@habib95 Thank you very much, but a few weeks ago that wasn't happening, and now all emails sent to Gmail go straight to spam. It's a problem because it's no longer reliable.
WOW. So is this money actually reaching users's pockets whose privacy has been illegally breached? Don't think so.
I am afraid this is another legal bribing scenario. Hey Google, we received a complaint that you were illegally collecting data without user's consent. Ohh we are sorry EU. You can sue us and we pay you 325 million. Deal? Deal.
