We're building something for the Fediverse. #Holos
ActivityPub running on your phone. Your own server, your data stored locally. A relay handles your stable identity when you're offline.
One account, all formats. Short text, long articles, photos, videos. The UI adapts to your mood. Switch between text mode, photo grid, video feed, article editor based on what you feel like sharing.
Same network, same followers.
Early stages, but the foundation is solid. We wanted to share the progress.
WhatsApp, le produit de Meta (ex-Facebook), vous savez, la messagerie qui prétend protéger la vie privée, a laissé fuiter 3,5 milliards de numéros de téléphone suite à une faille de sécurité...signalée il y a 8 ans.

**Everyone** is trying to control your communication. The reasons vary from simple curiosity to pure commercial interest, all the way to using it to control one's thoughts.

všetky nikotinové výrobky ktoré som mal doma a nepoužíval (ako liquidy, iqos, iné liquidy, e-cigarety, rôzne nástavce atď) podotýkam nepoužíval mali hodnotu ~80€ a to podľa mňa nie je normálne
edit: ráno kašlem a neznie to veľmi sexy to preto, v podstate sa dá kašľať zo všetkého len to inak znie tabak/iqos/e-cig/liquidy
I've been asked several times about why are there those birds chirping sounds at train stations here in Japan . The reason is the same as why you see those yellow blocks on the ground at train stations and on walkways in Japan .
Up until a couple months ago there wasn't even such a thing as encrypted RCS. What Google's been doing for several years now is having Google Messages do its own encryption that had nothing to do with RCS, but then sending the encrypted text over the RCS connection.
Then when Apple was forced (by China) to add support for RCS, they said they'd only support exactly what was in the RCS spec, so no encryption. Subsequently the RCS people have added TLS encryption to the spec and Google has slowly begun rolling out it in Google Messages, but Apple has not yet implemented the new encrypted version, despite participating in its specification process.
> Carriers are incompetent with this sort of interoperability and they gave up on running their own RCS servers to let Google do it through something called Google Jibe
Oh good so all RCS text messaging across carriers has a single point of failure now: Google
Thanks to @FineFindus's dedication towards implementing this (alongside the individual event .ics export feature) this year, you will be able to use this feature in #GNOME 50 (or the nightly flatpak version of Calendar today): gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.
Buried in this nicely-detailed RCA is a pretty damning fact:
Cloudflare left .unwrap() in mission-critical Rust code.
For non-Rustaceans, .unwrap() handles a type called Result that can either be Ok with a value, or an Err with an Error. The whole point is to gracefully handle errors and not let panics make it to production code.
I use .unwrap() sometimes! Usually when there's a logical guarantee that the result can never be an error. But I make sure to purge it from critical processes for exactly this reason.
Cloudflare suffered a service outage on November 18, 2025. The outage was triggered by a bug in generation logic for a Bot Management feature file causing many Cloudflare services to be affected.
Tomorrow night join @Liz, for Full Circle from 7 P.M. eastern (US time). Their will be a showcase, and in the third hour will be the next episode of Chickenman. So tune in tomorrow night, and see who is hiding in the showcase. HKCRadio.com
Decided with the direction that @freedomscientific is taking JAWS that it's time for me to cancel my home annual subscription and switch over to @NVAccess as my screen reader on my personal machine. NVDA does what I need on it (web surfing, email, writing, and some coding) fine, so I figure why not. And I can always pick the subscription back up if I really need it for something.
Thanks Justin! Great to have you :) You're probably already across this, but there is a "Switching from Jaws to NVDA" guide which is quite handy: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/… And as someone familiar iwth both - if you do notice anything missing from that guide (whether you need help with it, or already know how to do something not documented there) please do let us know and we can update it for others.
If you can give us more information on those work app you need, we can look and make sure we are at least aware of what isn't working, and hopefully endeavour to get better with them.
Honestly, the biggest thing on my wish list would be making reading through chats in Teams as easy as it is with JAWS with its virtual PC cursor turned off.
That's something concrete to start with, thanks! Just for someone who uses Jaws even less frequnetly than teams - can you please give me a quick description of what that is like, compared to how NVDA does it?
Sure. With JAWS, when you're in the section ;showing the chat history, you can just arrow up and down to jump from message to message. If you hit enter on one, you can then tab through things like any links in the message, an options menu, the options for reacting to a message, etc. Since Teams is a progressive web app, it's probably just some role="application" wizardry. Heck, there may just be a key combo I can hit to get it to work like that.
Gaming while blind is the highest difficulty. I like challenging experiences with intense naratives. Like The Last Of Us, or Alt Frequencies!Specs: I5-13600K, RX 3050, 16GB DDR4, Keycron K4 keyboard, PS5 controller and Madcats fightstick.
ooh that game is fun, once you configure the settings right for accessibility like raising volumes on opponent positional and fighting cues, it's really playable. Problem is, still haven't gotten through more than 2-3 fights in tutorial, so I'll fight you if I ever get through it and maybe some battles after LOL
@Tamasg I'm talking about the original arcade versions of Mortal Kombat! There is an app called Fightcade that will let you match people to play online via an emulator. Tried it out last night and it seems decently accessible! The games are mono, but, that's the game, nothing to be done there.
This update is available to GrapheneOS users via our app repository and will also be bundled into the next OS release. Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features.
Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS reposito...
Is there a basic media player for Windows? Play/pause, transport, supports all the formats, volume, all the basics. No cluttered UI, no library, no advanced playlist stuff, no video/DVD playback, no magic album art stuff. Just hand it one or more audio files and it plays, with good hotkeys and good accessibility.
yup Foobar, I personally don't mind VLC but I can see what you mean by the clutter, plus it being QT-based is really what I hate about it most LOL. Foobar I can never get used to, too bare-bones for me, but might work for your use case once you set up your config right I think.
@andrew @mcourcel I stopped using Winamp about 15 years ago in favor of Foobar 2000. I really don't like it's default configuration, but same can be said for Winamp.
