My mum used to wash my hair as a child by getting me to kneel on a chair and washing it over the sink. I had my first proper "grown up" hair appointment at 11 years old and guess what I did when the stylist asked me to come to the sink? I could die inside when I remember.
🆘 Masto, j'ai besoin de ta magie. Mon mari est gros (130-140 kg) et on cherche une chaise de bureau RÉSISTANTE quitte à mettre le prix. Vous savez où on peut trouver ça ? Le repouet assomme un grossophobe #mastohelp
Bonjour, ici un gros mec (à peu près le même poids, même un peu plus). Quel est votre budget ? J'ai choisi une chaise y a longtemps mais j'en ai pris deux à l'occasion du Black Friday.
@Tutanota iOS app - is it new that when I mark my emails and click "move" then the folders are suddenly presented in reverse order? Previously the "Inbox" was first and then it was my custom folders below. Now all my custom folders appear on top and in reverse order. It's kinda annoying, can you please make it like it used to be? Make the order just like it appears in the sidebar. Thanks

Я знаю что я дурачок наверное, но чета мне так хочется сделать многопользовательскую онлайн игру с квестами, гриндом, всякими штуками и механиками, с лутом, и конечно с циферками (в которых я правда ничего не смыслю).
Пока-что в планах сделать что-то вроде #webfishing но с фермерством, но у меня этот проект в голове как то не укладывается и не представляется особо.
Вы больше похожи не на дурачка, а на героя. Потому что у меня когда-то тоже были такие идеи, но я понял, что я не потяну. Причём я всего лишь хотел сделать онлайн-дурака (извините, pun not intended), в смысле, карточную игру, доступную для всех. Но понял, что по крайней мере пока нет.
La carte Fluo jeune (moins de 26 ans) passera de 1€ à 10€ (« 1000% de hausse »).
La carte Fluo adulte passera de 20€ à 30€ (50% de hausse) dès le 1er janvier prochain.
Si votre carte Fluo Adulte échoit d'ici au 31 mars 2026, et que vous envisagez de la renouveler, nous vous engageons à la renouveler d'ici la fin décembre 2025 pour profiter de l'ancien tarif. Vous gagnerez 10€.
Pour la Carte Fluo jeunes, quelle que soit l'échéance de votre carte en 2026, l'investissement est instantanément rentable... elle sera valable jusqu'au 30 mars 2027 à 1€ ! #Strasbourg
If you get the chance to visit Strasbourg, the European Parliament is quite a thing. This kind of weather really makes for some nice pictures! #photography #strasbourg #europeanparliament
Interesting finding: most of the custom 2FA input forms (you know those with single digit input fields) *do not* work on slow internet. Likely because they require some JS bundle that does not download properly or takes forever. Solution: just use a regular single input field, folks! #accessibility #a11y #openweb #webdev #javascript #2fa #login #web #ux #usability #ui
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.
I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.
But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!
For those looking for a covid/flu vaccine around #39c3 bcrt at the globetrotter(.de) shop in hamburg north gives out shots, about 20-30 per shot. I paid 49 for covid+flu, also for non-germans.

Question for the maybe five other people in the world who can answer this kind of question about platform accessibility APIs: Is it worth it to include an alpha channel in a color struct for a cross-platform accessibility API? Does any platform accessibility API actually support this, and does any AT actually do something useful with it?
Seems that IAccessible2 supports alpha, but optionally, and I don't think there's a single screen reader that does anything with this info, at least. Maybe some sort of screen magnifier, but I have no idea how those work. typedef long IA2Color A value specifying a color in ARGB format, where each 8 bit color component specifies alpha, red, green, and blue respectively. The alpha value is optional. accessibility.linuxfoundation.…. Pretty sure UIA just leaves the high byte of their long unused, but I could be wrong there. This isn't a complete answer and you probably already knew all of this, but figured I'd pass it along just in case.
I do think it might make sense for AccessKit to implement IA2 at some point. For Servo to be practically accessible on Windows, for example, it might be useful to have a bug-for-bug-compatible emulation of Chromium's IA2 implementation, so NVDA and JAWS's existing virtual buffers will work.
Just for the record, Chromium implemented most of its IA2 support based on what Firefox did. Gecko was the first on Window, and Chromium copied what Gecko implemented, so they would be compatible with JAWS and NVDA sooner. All the UIA stuff in Chromium only came into play once Microsoft started using it for Edge as well.
AT-SPI has GetAlpha (it has been there since before my time), but I don't know if any Linux ATs use it for anything. I took a quick look at Orca, and it doesn't appear to call it.
My screen reader just spoke the following text: Make 2026 the year you sound like a pro level slider. yes, I'll definitely be doing that. Amateur level sliders are just terrible, and they suck.
of course, this was an email with the level slider emoji, 🎚️ right after the word pro.
If I wanted to be on a "better" Twitter after the Musk takeover, I would open a BlueSky account. It delivers the same centralised, algorithm driven experience that divides in overhyped influencers and mere click fodder users, just the way all centralised "social" networks are designed to be.
And that's why I am NOT on BlueSky but here on the Fediverse. The Fediverse isn't a better X, Facebook, Instagram. It's the Fediverse. People to people. Embrace the principle and you will be happy here!
The @TetraLogical team has gathered (online) for a day of retrospectives, updates, and opportunities to continue innovating what we do and the services we offer, plus a Christmas quiz to wrap it all up.
There might also be a selection of Christmas hats on display, and there's a rumour going around that my hat might not be black! 😊
Morning All, I know this is a small thing, but very frustrating. When someone tells you to be ready by a certain time and you are still waiting at least half an hour later! Thank goodness I’ve got great radio to keep me company. Hope you all have a great day.
@FreakyFwoof Or the sighted people that never make plans and say they'll just sort it out on the day and not to stress. Sorry love but I need to order different modes of transport in advance depending on the time you'll be there and where you want to meet me.
What do we blindies use for ripping CDs on windows accessible?? Just foobar or is there something even better? It's mainly CDs with spoken words/audiobooks. #Accessibility #Blind #CD
If you want to make perfect digital and lossless copies of our music-CDs, then this is for you. By following this guide you should be able to make bit-perfect verified copies so you never have to do it again.
@André Polykanine @Jonathan I am wondering why you think #EAC is not suitable for audio books? #foobar2000 has secure ripping as well so if you like it it's a good tool. Also cdex has been open-sourced years ago and can still be used. github.com/elha/CDex
I'm using DBPowerAmp. It has a really interesting token system that allows me to name tracks in particular ways depending on the genre etc, and supports identifying whether tracks have been wripped accurately or not based on shared checksums. This isn't free but I wanted something I could rip a load of flac with minimal fuss.
If you've been having fun blasting aliens in the Audio Invaders game @ChanceyFleet and I created, I just made a new update. Max Energy is now 175 and updates properly when you get energy boosts, there are now hotkeys to hear your current score, energy, and round, and I made lots of internal optimizations. Chancey is also dominating the score board, so see if you can blast as many aliens as her! marconius.com/fun/audioInvader…
TL:DR Mat is a corporate slave, is really tired, and is getting fucked over
Now I don't need to tell you all capitalism is shit but it's wearing me down right now. A whole year with no more than 6 days in a row off, I'm set for 2 full weeks holiday over Christmas, starting last Friday.
Yeah, so some fucker makes comments in a meeting with the fucking CEO of the company, trying to deflect from a shit job they did, risking tens of millions of dollars, and put it on me and my team because I wasn't there to defend us, despite us being the only group to actually do a good job and not fuck up.
So yeah, worked the first 3 days of my Christmas "holiday", including a conference call in the middle of a family celebration meal. Tomorrow I have to find a quiet place for a call with the CEO and all the global Executive leadership to defend my team, who have done an amazing job cleaning up other people's shit, during a day out with friends visiting an exhibition, having a meal and going to football match.
This was my reward for the year, some carefree time, and it's just been laced with anxiety and, frankly, unpaid labour.
Apologies, I'm ranting.
Please don't reply with "fuck them, don't do it" or, "get a different job man" or whatever. It's really not that simple. I've been in this game 25 years but the timing is particularly bad this time.
Nothing but solidarity from here man. Luckily I don't have to shoulder corporate shite like this, but can relate to expectations of unpaid labour and not enough time away from the parts of what I do that get fucking tiring. Fingers, toes and testicles all crossed here that the long game goes badly for the people that have earned it.
I've mentioned this before but SimpleX is more private secure and anonymous that signal threema and session.
SimpleX is decentralised meaning taking down a single group of servers or org wouldnt destroy the simplex network, people can run completely anonymous simplex servers over tor, this puts simplex ahead of Signal and Threema
SimpleX has quantum resistant encryption which puts it ahead of Threema and Session, the UK military[1] and NATO[2] both consider quantum computers to be a threat now because of store now decrypt later attacks
SimpleX has no user identifiers not even random strings, its essentially like having a "burner phone for every contact". Two or more compromised contacts could corroborate your messages by linking them to your signal username or your session id, but with simplex your contacts can't prove your identity even between eachother. This fact puts SimpleX above Signal Threema and Session
These technical details about the simplex protocol can all be found on the project website including the whitepaper
This is actually a pretty good list of the Google Apps and Android alternatives. Good job Tuta! But you forgot to mention some of Proton's apps, like ProtonMail and Proton Pass and also IronFox (as a more privacy focused Firefox browser for Android, cuz there's no Mullvad B. on Android). Signal is what WhatsApp WAS SUPPOSED to be and Startpage is by far the best Google Search alternative in terms of search results. Just my opinion!
Last year, I outlined the specific requirements that an app needs to have in order for me to consider it a Signal competitor. Afterwards, I had several people ask me what I think of a Signal fork c…
- Is it possible to share some apps that would be equivalent to the ones provided by Apple that a user can delete/remove from phone and, therefore, add a MUCH better choice to use in its place?
I use Tuta for calendar and mail, Fossify for most of utilities, Brave for search and browser, Kvaesitso for launcher and Viber for chat. If I need ChatGPT or Claude, I run them in browser. Also, I use Filen for cloud, FUTO for keyboard.
Also, to be in the FOSS spirit, I plan switching from GitHub to Codeberg.
I think if more people found at least equal pride in the code they removed and simplified as the stuff they added (also on management level), a lot of stuff would work a lot better.
In der Vorweihnachtszeit haben sie es besonders eilig: die Paketboten. Sie klingeln, rufen Namen, balancieren Kartons und verschwinden so schnell wieder, wie sie gekommen sind. Vor allem in Stadtteilen wie dem Wedding, wo Häuser selten nur ein Vorderhaus haben, sondern auch Seitenflügel, Quergebäude und Hinterhöfe, ist ihre Arbeit eine kleine logistische Meisterleistung.

Need help asap. So my NVDA doesn't wanna speak other than in login or user control dialogs. Reinstalls didn't help, and of course restarts arn't the magical quick fix. :p. At the same time, wifi doesn't appear to work. Sometimes it barely works, and I thought it was a tailscale issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. It only worked the first time when quitting processes. I should point out that it's a pc issue, not an internet itself issue as it works just as it should anywhere else, for example, this work laptop I'm posting on now. What kinda messed up conbination is this? The wifi thing started yesterday in the morning, by the way. Only today nvda thought it wanted to just quit working.
Oh, oops! Did you install all Windows updates? Did you try a hard reset, which is basically hold the power button until the laptop turns off? Also, apparently microsoft's vibe coding, broke the login screen, and not sure if they fixed that. Other than that, I am considering saying goodbye to Windows. And if you can't solve that, maybe it's time for new windows re-install, or something with the WI-FI card is wrong, but if not that, check for driver updates. What brand are you using?
using ctrl+windows+enter to enable narrator for performing this.
Once narrator is working press windows+r to bring up a run dialog.
Into that run dialog type in "%appdata%\nvda" without the quotes and press the enter key to activate.
NVDA folder should be opened in the windows explorer. Use arrow keys to navigate and find nvda.ini configuration file.
If you really wish to proceed hit F2 and rename this file for example to nvda-backup.ini and confirm the rename operation by pressing the enter key.
Finally restart NVDA either by pressing ctrl+alt+n on the keyboard or navigate to the desktop, find the NVDA icon and activate it with the enter key.
NVDA should start with default settings. if it's working it's likelly there are some conflicting settings or addons in your config. If it's not you can revert this process and try something else.
@pvagner @tardis Now I can't try all of those things anyway. First because I reset for now, and second, even if nvda worked, then my wifi problem would've still been there.
Your WI-FI problem is as persistent as my terminal killing the battery. I hope the WI-FI stuff gets fixed. If the computer is too new, and your router is not, that could also be an issue. I had that. It was no fun. I forced my family to get a newer router. I like that config suggestion, I have a computer that needs something like that. Mainly for work, but also because I have some addons that may or may not be changing stuff around.
@tardis @pvagner Lol, all other devices work like I already said in my original post if you read to the end, and after that dumm reset it also works. I mean at this point it worked for over 1.5 years so ehh. Windows11=trash.
Meh. At the end of the day, a windows settings reset, without file loss, or uh, appdata and apps did but anyway, it, kinda fixed it for now. But still, what garbage balancing issues does windows have?
Uh, I have given up on figuring out what the issues with Windows are. It's do to the various brands, hardware, drivers, etc. Plus, microsoft's vibe coding nowadays. Why care to support hundreds of different systems? They are getting lazy. :D
Tras el evidente vapuleo a PSOE y Unidos por Extremadura, solo pienso lo siguiente. Tengo un recuerdo muy vívido de cómo hablaba Pablo Iglesia en el primer auge de Podemos. La casta, los de arriba, los trabajadores, nosotros. Le dieron hueco en los medios de comunicación porque era la moda, sí, pero digo yo que esa moda debió nacer de algún sitio. La izquierda necesita recuperar un discurso de clase, apuntar hacia arriba y hablar de problemas reales y concretos. Y así, quizá, le den un huequito en algunos medios de comunicación. Con la estrategia discursiva de ahora mismo está claro que esto no ocurre. Aunque no sea el estilo típico. A Ayuso la sacan continuamente cuando dice alguna burrada. A lo mejor hay que decir burradas con un poquito más de sentido. Quedan menos de dos años para las generales y está claro que con lo que se hace ahora mismo ("hemos hecho nada y no sabemos qué más podemos hacer") no sirve. Ni se va a articular una izquierda fuerte ni hay una estrategia discursiva que llame la atención. Pues nada. Cuatro añitos de Feijóo y Abascal, manifestaciones en las calles porque nunca hemos visto un PP tan abiertamente fascista y en cuatro u ocho años preguntarán "qué ha pasao". Porque el PP SIGUE metido en corrupción hasta las cejas y Vox también sin siquiera haber tocado poder (EDITO: a nivel nacional). Divertidísimo va a ser. Tan divertida como la gestión de Andalucía o Valencia. Qué impotencia, de verdad. Porque yo tengo la vida resuelta pero uno tiene la cosa de preocuparse por sus vecinos.
Creo que lo que dices es preocupante, desde luego. Pero tampoco tengo muy claro que haya ninguna receta para revertir el tema. Los medios son agentes que siguen sus propios intereses; no creo que con un giro de discurso se corrija el problema.
Tampoco tengo muy claro lo de la falta del discurso de clase. Yolanda Díaz/sumar llevan un montón de tiempo insistiendo en eso: cuestiones de clase, problemas reales y concretos. SMI, registro horario, jornada laboral, permisos, falsos autónomos, mejora del sistema de inspección. Y creo que no tiene muchos efectos.
@modulux La misma Yolanda Díaz se deinfló como líder político al poco de llegar al gobierno. Una pena. Hace falta mucho carisma para liderar esto, y por desgracia Ayuso y sus locuras tiene un montón, para mal.
Me acuerdo que tuvo una época buena (o a mi me lo parecía) en los momentos de "le voy a dar un dato." Pero sí, parece haber desaparecido, no sé si es que se concentra en su labor técnica o que no se le da bien.

Every time, without exception, that we’re at Joy’s sister’s house I get the absolute worst sinus headaches. I’ve never known why and it isn’t a problem I have elsewhere but… damn this hurts.
So sorry to hear that! Are there any known allergies? Does Joyce's sister maybe have plants in the house that trigger these? Or furniture or appliances that have certain chemicals in them that your body reacts to? My mom once bought a ceiling lamp which had a substance in its casing that gassed out when warm, and I got the worst headaches from that.
Restarting something that shouldn't have been paused, and even if it seems feeble, redundant, or far behind everything else, I think it's still needed and even more so these days github.com/akiraux/Akira/proje…
