the username and password have long been automated, but now it sends a login code to your e-mail, so you gotta log in to that, which involves another usename and password and a 2fa text message, then by the time you sort all that out the original login code is expired, so you've gotta send it again, which requires you to solve three captchas while drinking a glass of water upside down, then you put it in and it logs you in and you close the private browsing window you used to open gmail before trying to do the actual thing you wanted to do in the first place, at which point the site decides you need to go through the entire 2fa workflow again
I'm typing on a DAS 4 Ultimate on my desk, with an MX Mechanical Mini on my lap, with a braille display to my left, and a running laptop to my right. I'm totally sane, y'all.
I try to tell people to be a bit circumspect about the crap they put on social media and I get told I’m paranoid. But you know, I’m just a person with 15+ years of experience working in vocational rehabilitation, so I know nothing about how employers actually think or act. Lol. Seriously though, don’t think for a minute that hiding behind a fake name will keep prospective employers from finding your posts. I want to see more of my fellow Blind people working in a job they love like I do. That’s the only reason I’m posting this.
Fall is almost here in the Northern Hemisphere, which means it’s time for another major release of iOS for the public. While some of the information in this article may be new to readers, this year’s changes started being discussed in the spring.
Hey y’all. I’m going to a music festival next week for the first time ever. Louder than Life in Louisville. I’m only going the 19th. I was wondering if anyone on here is going. I’m also wondering if any of you have been to festivals like that and if you have any tips for me. I feel pretty well prepared, I studied the guidelines of the venue and I’m bringing an external battery, a seat cushion, picnic blanket, tp in case toilets run out, hand wipes and sanitizer, I even bought some hiking shoes. I’m just still nervous because it’ll be a lot of activity, a lot of people, a long day. I bet it’ll be super fun too! I’ll be seeing Sleep Token perform as well as several other good bands. Just can’t shake the nervous feeling though. I’ll be going with a group. I’ll be the only blind person. That’s not what I’m nervous about though. Anyway…
Ничего обещать не могу, но попробуйте пнуть меня через несколько дней. Моя жена печёт совершенно охренительные печеньки, по вкусу похоже на магазинные, но ей нужно повторить, чтобы записать рецепт и сделать фото — в прошлый (первый) раз всё умяли 😂

I spent part of today learning about Django-Unicorn as an alternative to Phoenix LiveView. Sadly Unicorn doesn't support push events- they just abstract away the AJAX calls and re-rendering.
Django Reactor does support events, but then you have to use async all over the place, and even then the components don't get state pushed to them, they send a message to the client which then makes an AJAX request for a state update.
I love that on fedi I will frequently come across posts which say things like, "I'm switching my LobNar configuration from Dexxxxus to Qzzzzp, because while I appreciate the LBND support, Drippz doesn't play well with *screeching sound repeated seven times at precise intervals* and my ¿~™€€÷¿ port is 33759904.5 so I can't install 🍒🍒🍒 without voiding my warranty."
And I'll look at it and wonder idly what the fuck they're talking about, but I don't have to care, so I let it flow over me like the lifeblood of the universe, while secretly harboring the suspicion that no one, not even the poster themselves, knows what the fuck they're talking about.
I love your description of our birdspeak. Although I apologize on behalf of all of us, any professional environment has its own slang. Being in software development, music and some other domains, I know it for sure.
@menelion Having been a professional computer toucher myself at one point, I appreciate cant and shop talk. That's part of the reason why I find fedi jargon so fascinating, because even though I vaguely know what some of it is talking about, it's all still mostly Greek to me, which is awesome.
Do they have a certain dress code? My grandfather went to the nobel prize in sweden once and he told me he had to get a custom suit tailored just to attend
Today I set up a laptop with #Windows 11 for my sister-in-law. The Windows UI is definitely more polished in 11 than it was in 10, but boy, it is cluttered and distracting: "Here is the weather forecast and how about stock prices? News? You surely want to read the news! And BTW here is this cool app from our store." 🤯
@mks_h the laptop came with pre-installed Windows. I just helped her install some apps (mostly open source), set them up and migrate data. The last thing I want to get into is maintaining Windows. 🙂
A simple, easy to use PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customize, declutter and improve your Windows experience. Win11D...
ChatGPT leaked private Gmail data to attackers by Friday. 🤦♂️
Because #promptinjection is not a problem these "PhD level" AI assistants have solved.
Look at that calendar invite. That text is all it took for taking over someone's #ChatGPT connected data. Allowing the attacker to use the same #MCP enabled tools that are supposed to make AI useful at work.
It really is as stupid as @davidgerard keeps telling in Pivot to AI.
@patrick_h_lauke I think Elon musk gets on drugs and spews all this nonsense because he can. If he doesn't even know how many years it is to the next election, that tells you something about how much he really cares about he says. Gosh, why doesn't he just shut up and take care of his failing businesses? :)
It's the first time in my life that I became a lucky winner of Elon Musk's whatever some sort of money. The problem is that I need to send my winning number to some email address and then the money would be sent to me via a cashier’s check or an ATM card. Ah, last but not least, the congratulatory email ended with words “God bless you!” That really gave it away! LOL
@Lprazdnik I was wondering about the same. I guess they would like to establish an email conversation first! It's a good practice to do so if you are serious about a business transaction! :)
Re: last boost (cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog…), I wonder if Windows is also becoming less popular with blind kids. My immediate reaction was that they're an exception, because Windows still has the best screen readers. But my sample size of younger generations of blind people is too small for me to be sure.
And, that post really makes me feel like an old guy set in my ways, because I've settled into being pretty comfortable with Windows; I've gotten used to just ignoring the shit that Microsoft keeps piling on.
i know in canada it's a lot more mobile phones but with PCs still dominating schools and it's what work is being done on often. e.g. my daughter just started in university and that's what she is using... and the university has a M365 subscription and is heavily Microsoft oriented
I finally have a #pixel10pro. Now it's going in the drawer, and I'll be rooting for the #GrapheneOS developers to finish support for it as soon as possible.
@decathorpe finally because I couldn't wait to check out the hardware, but I never planned to use it before I can get GrapheneOS on it. The main reason why I got it now is that there $250 cashback only until the end of the month. Waiting for GOS would only make the phone more expensive.
@andrew773 yes, I already have a Pixel 6a with it. It's a good entry phone for GrapheneOS because you can get it for ~€120 and it still has 2 years of support. A good way to try GOS out without spending a lot of money.
Nice one! Will probably buy one too when Pixel 11 will come out (I'm buying older Pixels when the new ones come out as there are usually good deals on them). Tbh, I'm interested in the desktop mode a lot - it seems it's really close to the official release now - and Pixel 10 may be a good device to run a Linux VM smoothly enough to be useful in the desktop mode.
@kayla I was thinking about getting Pixel 9 because 10 isn't a major upgrade and I wouldn't have to wait for GOS, but at the moment with the cashback 10 is for the price of 9.
A historic perspective: Fascists killing other fascists over their fascism not being fascist enough is not an uncommon thing in fascist history. And then blaming "the left", "communists" or a "secret cabal" for everything also isn't. It's an old pattern used time after time. #JustSayin (This is my personal opinion)
Ano, problémový toot jsem už ráno smazal a uživatele kontaktoval. Snažíme se věci řešit co nejrychleji, ale ne každý sedí u počítače nonstop. Jen upozorňuju na tohle chování – místo aby proběhla komunikace, hned se sahá po #fediblock celé instance.
@schmaker Ano, někteří to tak prezentují. Můj postup je: první přestupek = varování a smazání příspěvku. Mazat účet hned po prvním průšvihu nechci – pokud by se problém opakoval, pak už ano.
@schmaker Vážně řešíte někoho, kdo provozuje cosi s názvem “pizza.enby.city”? Kolik to má lidí? Tři? A tbh přijde mi ten toot na hraně, ale asi ne přes čáru.
@Unreed Ten maník z pizza.enby.city mi je úplně u zadele. Jde o to, že podobně „chytrého“ může napadnout udělat seznam blokovaných instancí, vytáhne je z hashtagu #fediblock a pak se to tu začne šířit.
Ostatně podobné seznamy už kolovaly při migraci z Twitteru a některé CZ instance je tehdy také importovaly. @schmaker
@schmaker Takže na vycukání adminů stačí chodit a hulákat jeden hashtag? Ten seznam bude úplná blbost. Co když začnu používat fediblock na svoje skříplý pravý rameno?
myslim to roztleskávání fediblocku. u autora příspěvku se pořád nemůžu rozhodnout, jestli bydlí někde Neštěmkách u Mojžíře, nebo jestli to odkoukal u alt-right kolegů z Xka
jo me kdysi přišlo hlášení ze “overtly racist”. Přišlo na me. Za příspěvek kdy jsem řekl ze za mlada jsem mel za sousedy cigany a půlka z nich byli nepřizpůsobivý průseráři a druhá půlka naprosto v poho 🤷♂️ tak snad zas něco nepřijde když to tu opakuju
jo, tohle přehnaný blokování je zvláštní. Na takové instanci bych nechtěl být. Takhle mě dlouho blokoval mastodon.art za to, že provozuju fedisearch. Vůbec nebyla možnost se bránit, prostě ke mě doputoval příspěvek typu "tenhle týpek indexuje posty na fedi a není jak se opt-outnout, zablokovat" a bylo hotovo. Nikomu nevadilo že to není pravda. Neindexují se posty, ale accounty. A opt out způsoby mám asi 3. 🤷
I posted about adding pthread_cancel use in curl about three weeks ago, we released this in curl 8.16.0 and it blew up right in our faces. Now, with #18540 we are ripping it out again.
I think it's reasonable to declare that pthread_cancel() is effectively broken for any nontrivial use on contemporary OSes and it is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
(I suspect it would actually be easier to cajole libc maintainers into adding an async friendly version of GAI() than to make GAI() cancellation safe.)
If you want a cancellable thing from which you can make blocking calls, the only near-universal option is subprocesses. Unfortunately there are reasons why in some ecosystems it is impolite for a library to start a subprocess.
