Thank you everyone who made me enjoy this year's #smashingconf immensely. I had a wonderful time! ❤️

The slides for my talk are online!

Uns ist #Nachhaltigkeit und #Ressourcenschonung ein Anliegen.
Daher hier Links zu #Bücherschränken / #Bücherboxen, die zeigen, wo in #Wuppertal #Bücher abgeben oder getauscht werden können.

Ergänzung:
Bei Hutmacher / #Utopiastadt #Wuppertal steht auch ein Bücherschrank.

Bei @MapComplete gibt es auch eine Karte für Bücherschränke, über die fehlende Schränke leicht ergänzt werden können.
Damit werden die #OpenStreetMap -Daten ergänzt, so dass die Orte dann auch auf Open Book Case und allen weiteren Karten, die auf #OSM basieren dazu kommen.

"Is Putin in the room with us just now?" - asked a pro-Russian Polish MEP on Twitter today in one of the discussions related to Russian influence in Europe .

She deleted this post as the context has changed due to Russian drone attack on Poland. But if you want to imagine how would your room look like if Putin tried to be there with you, there are some pictures:

I already have enough issues with my iPhone slipping between the driver's seat in the car and the console gap because it always slides out of my shorts pocket somehow if I forget to take it out before I sit down

Now I'm walking around the house looking at every crack and crevice wondering how many iPhone Airs are going to get lost in there, forever unretrievable...

@dvl I think the engineering is impressive but is it necessary for a phone? I'd rather see super thin electronics be the norm for other things.

Make an even thinner iMac

Use that tech to make... I don't know, just some computer embedded somewhere thinner. The digital dashboard on your car? I'm sure they'd appreciate if there was less room needed behind the screen.

My saga to find an #ARM #SBC that has #AES acceleration hits some roadbumps, because it seems all the newer ARM boards require a custom vendor OS with, usually, an ancient kernel. Sigh.

If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:

I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.

If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.

Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.

Peter Vágner reshared this.

in reply to Jessie Nabein

There's basically 2 situations where this can happen:

1. The app needs Google Play Services, if you disable this (on stock Android) you'll need to enable it. If you use a custom ROM, you probably want microG
2. The app detects if it's installed by Google Play, either a weak check (can be bypassed with `adb` and using the `-i` flag I think or a strong check and... yeah, no luck.

If you're on stock Android, I see no reason to use Aurora Store, it doesn't give more privacy :)

Hi friends. Job fair was a bust, a lot of them are tech related jobs I have no experience with. Sucks, because nobody told me I needed to be a programmer for data related jobs with SQL. I never learned it in College, I am a business graduate, I learned mostly financial stuff also, there weren't many companies there. Oh, and I can confirm, ICE is recruiting blind people. No, I did not even consider it, but just letting people know. Anyway, its not a total loss because I'll be meeting with someone tomorrow from a local staffing agency.

@Scott @ToniBarth I think a list of pids would be easier. But there can be a hell of a lot of running processes, so I'm not sure how usable that would be. A list of foreground windows might be nicer, but that means you can't choose a process with no UI window like NVDA. There are multiple reasons a GUI for this is going to be annoying. Before we even get to this, we need to figure out how to hook up a Win32 GUI to a CLAP plugin in an accessible way.
in reply to Scott

@Scott @ToniBarth Hmm, I'd probably have to rewrite from scratch to use a framework now. HTML might have been nice and easy, so that's unfortunate. Oh well. I have had some success getting the GUI scaffolded, but am running into an issue where the tab key won't move through controls despite me doing all the things you're supposed to do with Win32 sub-dialogs. Very frustrating.
in reply to Scott

@ToniBarth @Scott Thinking of adding a "Capture audio from all applications" option as well, but I probably need to warn about feedback for that. Also, any idea on a better name for the "Apply" button? Is just "Capture" too vague? "Start capture" is perhaps better, except once you start it, it's already started, so it might not be clear that it applies the new settings.
in reply to Pratik Patel

@ppatel I did check out slint, its not the UI framework that makes VST plugin development so hard, its the window provider. Winit works just fine, however VST plugins don't work with Winit as you need a window handler that does support child windows, and those aren't natively accessible with AccessKit yet. Discussions with @matt yielded that it shouldn't be to hard to adapt those or develop a wrapper, but i'm not smart enough right now.
in reply to Toni Barth

@ToniBarth @ppatel To clarify, the problem is that winit can only create top-level windows and also wants to own the event loop. For a VST plugin, you need to be able to create a child window and integrate into the host application's event loop. baseview (github.com/RustAudio/baseview) can do this, but as far as I know, nobody has written AccessKit support for baseview yet, and I don't think slint supports baseview.

@ebassi
following the suggestion from @sysadmin@social.tchncs.de, I found out, that the bug reporter and troubleshooter might not even be a part of the gnome project at all. It's from RedHat and it's repo on github:

github.com/abrt/gnome-abrt

I'll reproduce now and leave an issue there.

And another thing: What even is this "Politics" that some people don't want you to talk about?

Are we talking about the stately and important machinations of state, in which laws are debated and passed, elections are held, spiced with the occasional scandal from a misbehaving representative of the people?

Are we talking about televised screaming matches between horrible people in formal wear trying to persuade the voting public that the other guy is somehow even worse than they themselves are?

Is it things that one of these awful people has decided to talk about in order to win votes?

Are we talking about the daily realities of real human beings that other people aren't comfortable hearing about?
