This question has been thrown at me several times this morning from the Apple keynote event. Remember that the LIDAR which is helpful to so many blind or low vision folks for detecting objects etc is present in the iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro Max, it is not present in the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 air.
@FreakyFwoof @ppatel Just reread the original post. It certainly makes sense given that both Air and 17 are less powerful and thinner profile devices. Pro is a Pro for a reason! :)
@vick21 @FreakyFwoof @ppatel Perhaps a stupid question, but what's the advantage of having a lidar? I'm genuingly curious what the benifits are for blindness apps.
Is there anyone on my timeline using Remote Incident Manager on Mac OS 15.6.1? I’ve been trying to use this with AIRA but don’t want to waste my minutes as RIM crashes as soon as it tries to establish the connection. There are known issues with this OS, as noted here, manual.getrim.app/en/macos/iss…, but not as severe as what I am experiencing. I would like to test with someone before calling AIRA again. Anyone? Thank you!
Ah, wonderful! And just like that, I've used up my alloted 30 minutes with Remote Incident manager by troubleshooting their crashing issues. I connected remotely from another machine but, apparently, was counted as connected even though there was no active session. Not good! :)
Welcome Today, Apple announced new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro at its "Awe Dropping" media event. Here's a quick summary, for those who don't care about the details. Jump to the next heading to skip the summary and get to the good stuff.
Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.
if you’ve been living under a rock these past few months before today’s #AppleEvent here’s two links as a quick refresher on Tim Cook’s latest fascist bootlicking asshattery:
BTW there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.
this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.
Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.
Nvidia stock faces turbulence after strong earnings, with Citi cutting its target price. Is NVDA still a buy, or has the AI chipmaker’s rally run out of steam? Get the latest analysis.
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
Is Meta the Next Nvidia? A Deep Dive into Its AI Potential
Meta is quietly becoming a serious AI contender, with $72B in AI infrastructure spending, superintelligence labs, and open-source Llama models. Despite 30% YTD stock gains, it trades at a big discount to Nvidia. With 3.48B daily users and massive cash flow, Meta offers muted downside and huge AI upside.
Could Meta stock become the next big player in AI? With massive infrastructure investments and ambitious AGI plans, Meta offers a unique upside at a significant valuation discount.

there's an old comment (~2015) on HN by the rsync.net team saying they removed WebDAV support from their service because of issues with mod_dav in Apache and it was abandoned / couldn't reach the devs...
but the git history disagrees with that. It came back to life.
you could run another SFTP server on a different port or in a container. Just add the keys you want. It's what I use for personal transfers between my stuff.
it would need to be SFTP in a jail/container that's behind a wireguard tunnel that goes to a cloud server... would not be fun to set that up; would have to definitely use a separate port from 22 and then I couldn't integrate it with my LDAP auth as easily unless I setup all the pam ldap shit...
edit: also some of the things I use this for do not support SFTP, sooo
@verita84 I'm so mad at about it too, it's insane. Trying to figure out the right goddamn commands to make a role and policy and then apply it is frustrating. Everything feels so opaque without the UI. The mc command just isn't good and their docs suck
Yeah. So glad I went back to NFS instead of that shit. I was a big fan of them for years and even helped in their Slack channel and earned a minio sweater.
We're they GPL or some other license that will prevent a fork to fixing their mess
@verita84 there was a bug at one point where deletes didn't actually work, but it returned a 200 response code. I looked through their codebase and they weren't actually testing the functionality. They were just faking a success code to the command line tool. I asked them in their slack why they weren't actually testing the real functionality of Minio and they just made stupid excuses.
Yesterday, the Oaxaca state government, headed by the "leftist" MORENA party, unveiled 75 new assault rifles for the state police purchased from Israel Weapons Industries.
De acuerdo con Karina Barón Ortiz, titular del Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Estatal de Seguridad Pública (Sesesp), se trata de 75 fusiles semiautomáticos con un cañón de 14.5 pulgadas, calibre 5.56.
The debut of "Sounds Good!" A new long form show! Watch to the end to see a magical musical moment!This feels like a big step for the channel. I’m so gratefu...
a few of my friends have been reporting some not so awesome changes on the #sunoAI websight. Apparently for them, the library is now inaccessible, the creat dialog is entirely not itself, and the sliders in the create dialog also are not accessible. So far I haven't seen these changes, but at least 2 of my friends have reported this. Anyone have any idea how to possibly return it to it's previous state. Unless this is what we have to look forward to. #sunoAI #a11y
@ZBennoui same, I wonder if somehow something's odd with their browser in general? Spesifically one of my friends, in both browsers her suno is very broken. I wonder if there's some like, skin/interface thing you can hit, to change it?
Devs: if you're keeping a device on iOS 18/watchOS 10/etc. for testing, now is a good time to go turn off automatic updates!
If you've instead been using your only non-primary device as a 26 testing device, now's a good time to wipe it and restore the old OS onto it if you need it.
Starting next week, it'll get a LOT harder to install these outgoing OSes. Now's the time.
There's going to be more speak about AIs finding genuine security problems soon.
Google Big Sleep found one in #curl that we reveal tomorrow.... in about eight hours. (but no, we don't know how much was AI and how much was human or how many false positives they had to wade through to get there etc maybe they will let us know later?)
I just went to put a paintbrush in some paint, one side of the brush hit the edge of the water jar hard, I lost control of it and it flipped up, somersaulted twice, flew over my desk lamp, hit the window, and then landed in a potted plant.
I walk through life knowing there are Olympic gold medals waiting for me, in events that don't yet exist.
“I didn’t write it” when his signature matches many others, and he gave leniency to the only woman who could corroborate that he sent it to her, isn’t very convincing.
I once saw this blogpost (I believe linked by @niko) about how critical it is to design applications to work on low-bandwidth with good UI/UX for that scenario, or preferably offline-first
honestly, I don't remember that blogpost mentioning not just stuff like the update UX or other bandwidth-heavy tasks, but even less heavy tasks like just sending a message
I feel that's overlooked often, and I'm honestly glad that XMPP, Delta.Chat and good ol' IRC help me in these times where my connection fucking stinks
because thing is, DESPITE how little data they're transferring, Signal will still be noticeably slower than IRC or XMPP, even with encryption (in-transport and E2EE from the apps), which is interesting
in other words, if you want something that is quick, I'd recommend XMPP or delta.chat :]
also I'm just a shill for delta in general, they've done some pretty damn cool work and continue to do so on the budget of (relative to other projects) literal pennies

"Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site Tuesday in the Park Avenue neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protestors.
The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed."
I set my personal blog up so it approves all followers automagically (Soapbox), because I'm fine with anyone following me what wants to, and I don't want to be bothered with new followers in my alerts. However I'd like to know who my new followers are because there's a chance I might want to reciprocate, so is there a way to check this, maybe friends, group: followers... Sort by date added maybe?
@Kāpitan my personal Friendica node automatically follows back and there is no way to disable it, and you can always see your followers in your contacts
@pasjrwoctx👽 Yeah, I didn't want that option, my home timeline is busy enough that I don't need to indiscriminately follow people back. Only bad part about seeing your followers in your contacts, is that they're only sorted alphabetically.
@Kāpitan I wish I could have it where anyone can follow, but I dont follow back automatically, currently I can only manually unfollow, and yes a busy time line is good but also so very bad especially on shared hosting, it causes me headaches if my feed is ripping all day long, and yes the contact list is a bit of a pain, but I still love my friendica, it really over all is a great platform.
If it's anything like previous upgrades, I'll most likely be waiting until October or November to grab them. Hopefully there won't be many serious bugs this time, but somehow I doubt it.
#Tusky 31 is right around the corner. This is a smaller release with some nice improvements to filtering and the scheduled status view. Tusky 32 will then be the big one with a rewrite of the timeline UI inculding supprt for quote posts. It will take a while to implement this, but trust me it will be worth it.
Vivre sans voiture est la meilleure action individuelle pour le climat bonpote.com/vivre-sans-voiture… (Mais devenir végan est la plus facile à mettre en œuvre )
Je vis sans voiture (non pour le climat, mais parce que je suis aveugle), et je vous dis, c'est vachement difficile. Le transport en commun est super mal développé malheureusement, malgré le fait qu'on pourrait le faire CO2-neutre ou presque (prenez l'exemple de Nice et ses bus électriques chargés par un panneau solaire). Mais non, on s'en fout généralement du transport en commun.
a corrolary here is that blaming your ideological interparty enemies for election losses and the rise of fascism is a major distraction. you can't win every election. you need to focus on fighting fascism when you win. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:htdsa…
