Oof! I re aggravated an ankle injury, and now walking is uncomfortable. This too shal pass. At least it's Friday, so make it an awesome day and weekend all. Meds will be here to make ankle better soon enough. Have a good day
That sounds painful. I hope you feel better soon. I sprained my ankle a few months ago, and now it mostly feels fine but isn't 100% the way it was. I had a physical a couple weeks ago and mentioned it, so now I'm going to get it xrayed.

I really want to love LDAP more than I do because it constantly feels like it's a black box by default. How do I successfully custom extend the schema on my own? It's a mystery. The only time it's ever really worked is when someone provides you the magic ldifs that I can never seem to produce myself
@sun @i I need to switch to this. If they just added a daemon to sync with OpenLDAP you could use this as your master and send all your queries to the very fast and lightweight openldap nodes. You get the best of both worlds then.
LDAP's problem has always been the tooling. Blindfolds and drawers filled with razor blades
My current sleep schedule of sleeping from 2:00 to 6:30 PM is specifically structured to avoid the hours of venting from a person in my house. You know you've failed when someone's specifically arranging their sleep schedule to avoid you. Being up in quiet nights is a bonus, but this person is one of the biggest reasons I'm in an era of being nocturnal.
oh, and my Debian 13 Distro today got Orca 49.4 as part of Trixie-backports. So, looks like Debian's getting latest Orca bits fairly soon after drops, which is great news.
I wonder if those fancy Narrator image descriptions require the second-generation NPUs, or if Narrator was more permissive and allows them on Zen 4/ Intel 1st generation Ultra chips. We will never know, I guess.
they were initially, but then when the Copilot Plus PCs hit they had rolled out an offline generation form of these. However I'm thinking since it came with that Copilot Plus PC branding it's very likely it requires the 2nd generation NPU (or the NPU inside Qualcomm chips, although I would not think it's limited to ARM like that) (it was announced on sites like accessibility.org.au/narrator-…)
Microsoft has released an update to its Narrator feature in Windows 11, which uses artificial intelligence to provide detailed descriptions of images, charts, and graphs.

if any of these laws were passed when i was a teen, i would be long, long dead, probably because i would have ended my life by suicide.

@technocounselor Exactly! And also some stupid or megalomaniac ideas like "Is it possible to create a programming language alone, with the help of AI tools?"

Believe it or not: #deltachat is growing audio/video calls starting with the currently rolling 2.22 releases ... A few people already had two hour long stable calls :)
Calls are an experimental option while we continue to work on reliability, UX/UI revisions, and configuration of TURN servers on #chatmail relays and in clients.
We want calls to reliably work across all major platforms, networks and phones, including #UbuntuTouch
Всем привет! Возможно ли сделать звонок, если использовать только классические сервера электронной почты? Мои попытки позвонить закончились неудачно - сам вызов проходит, но ни звука, ни видео.
@phl email is only used for "signalling", for exchanging initial offers. Otherwise the setup uses a simple STUN/TURN server and webrtc in webviews on the clients. It's all pretty standard technology even if it's tricky to get it to reliably work across operating systems, platforms and devices. WhatsApp and Signal aren't doing it much differently. We'll write more about it when we release it as a stable option (probably still some time off).
email is just a message bus. and it's very fast and reliable (battle tested queues, etc) once you remove the need for any spam filters etc getting in the way
@RussSharek only 1:1 for now. Once this is fully stable and mainlined (non-experimental) we'll see about group calls. On Desktop you can already do several calls next to each other to simulate a group call :)
@s4rkn Can already replace #SignalApp for 1:1 chats especially if their phone number requirement is unacceptable to you. See github.com/chatmail/relay for hosting a relay.
@ati1 Re: #DeltaChat on #Librem5. I just tested the experimental direct 1:1 calls and it worked great : ) The call ring sounded loud and clear on my Librem 5!
@opensourceopenmind Ok. So I made a call from DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @LineageOS calling DeltaChat on Pixel3A running @postmarketOS with @phosh I got a nice ringtone on PostmarketOS phone, and Ubuntu laptop and iOS phone 👍️ I've answered on Postmarket phone. Audio worked great, and I also got video from Lineage phone but not from Postmarket phone (no surprise to me though I have a working front camera on PM OS so theoretically it could already be done). So 10/10 overall. Great work!👍️
@opensourceopenmind @LineageOS @postmarketOS Although for DeltaChat text messages received on PostmarketOS I still only get notification banners with haptics, no sound. Working with Delta running both in foreground and background. To get notification sound I have to have chat with that specific person sending text open in DeltaChat. Again on foreground or background doesnt matter but chat has to be open. Other way - only haptics.
I run both but here I'm talking about notification sounds on PostmarketOS run DeltaChat. Not sure if it works on desktop Ubuntu because it wasn't so important for me on desktop but I'm gonna check that as well and submit that issue. Thanks 👍️
Uch sorry I didn't pay enough attention to your toot and only now I noticed you asked wether I use DeltaTOUCH on PostmarketOS Phone. No I don't use DeltaTouch. I use desktop DeltaChat installed from Flatpak on both PostmarketOS phone and Ubuntu desktop.
Hi, will it be possible (or perhaps already planned) to add another layer of security for opening/unlocking the app by fingerprint on smartphones (similar to WhatsApp for example)? Some of my non-techie friends installed it and said such feature would be appreciated 🙏

There's an issue for it already, and somebody suggested that the first problem to fix is to replace all the 11000 usages of the word "see" in the source code. Wokeism at its finest.
@miki My gosh. But I did search for issues (I entered "accessibility" in search), didn't find anything about Windows screen reader accessibility. There is one for VoiceOver support on Mac (marked as a feature, although we all know it is not a feature).
@Yinshi Его просто все капец хвалят, он типа такой крутой, быстрый (ну да, на Расте написан), а так-то я на ВСКоде сижу. Даже для Шарпа по сути на него перешёл, большую Студию редко запускаю.
Кстати код на Rust недавно впервые увидел, случайно в одной статье. Ну такое. Бесплатно я бы точно не стал на нём писать. Если понадобится сделать системную утилиту или бэкенд, где Java было бы тяжело, часть стримингового сервиса например, я лучше возьму Go, при всех его моментах.
@Yinshi Согласен. Не знаю, чего с ним так все носятся. Синтаксис просто-таки мерзотный. Я уже грешным делом подумываю сделать язычок в качестве хобби) Ну чисто как я вижу нормальный синтаксис. Ближе всего на самом деле Шарп к моему видению.
Ух ты, интересное у тебя направление мыслей. Ну а чё, попробуй. Я так думаю в твоём случае для подобных экспериментов Шарп вполне сойдёт. Если поиграться, то почему бы и нет. Помню, в универе был какой-то курс где рассказывалось про подобные задачи, но ещё и с тем как устроены компиляторы.
Если бы я захотел так поэкспериментировать, взял бы Scala, сам понимаешь, я из JVM мира. Да и в ФП парадигме писать всякого рода трансформаторы, парсеры и прочее проще чем на императивном языке. В C# есть всякие прикольные вещи для этого, но всё равно императивщина будет торчать отовсюду.
Dites, je suis tombé sur mon poignet cet aprem, ça a très très peu gonflé, mais j'ai du mal à le bouger. Est-ce que c'est la peine de passer à la pharmacie demain si c'est la même chose ou j'appelle directement le 15 après le petit déjeuner pour qu'on me dise quoi faire ?
Appelez le 15 et espérons que le poignet n'est pas fracturé. Essayez de le bouger le moins possible (je sais c'est dur), mais il vous faudrait une radiographie. Ma compassion la plus sincère.

Google ended its Women Techmakers career resource program and erased their work. The decision communicated in a terse email. "The message it sends to women in tech, and women in general, is that we cannot count on unwavering support from big corporations." cnn.com/2025/10/23/tech/google…
I think one of the most important things that a parent of a young child can do is to help them manage what I call the “heartbreak of growing up”: those recurring moments when the child realizes that what they thought was true turns out to be not-so-true, that something they thought was simple turns out to be not-so-simple, and that the world turns out to be much more complex and so much harder than they ever expected.
I make it a point not to call any child “smart” or “talented”because these are words that can often harm them when they meet their next heartbreak of growing up. Instead of telling them that they have innate abilities to *succeed*, I tell them that they have innate *resourcefulness* and *problem-solving skills*. Their next failure should not shatter their self-image; but rather call their creativity and fire into action.
Anyway, this #music #video captures so perfectly the heartbreak of growing up.

First, I used generative AI to help materialize what was in my head (the result was predictably laughable). But THEN I paid a professional human to design it and polish it, as things should be! That awesome human was @micahilbery, because I saw his fantastic work every day during our time working at @thunderbird.
Thank you for helping make this new dream a reality for me, Micah.
I wonder if anyone has ever considered creating a browser extension or an NVDA addon to jump to the next form field on a webpage that is marked as containing an invalid entry. I just spent way too long trying to submit a medical intake form and finally realized that the "Allergies" text field was required, and I had to manually type "None" into it. Am I missing some obvious method for doing this? I know I coudl probably type some code into the console and figure this out, but for general use it seems like this should really be possible.
It should be illegal for people's birthdays to be between the 23rd and 27th of December. If you're born on one of those days, your parents should be legally required to choose either 22nd or 28th as your alternate birthday.
I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs made with copilot".
Meanwhile, there's a grand total of zero requests for "plz put copilot in more stuff".
This should be significative of the attitude of veteran coders towards #LLM creep.
