Thanks @prosodyim for this awesome XMPP server! I’ve been running pimux.de for 10 years now, and the experience from an administrator’s point of view has been pretty awesome!
Yupp, trust Google. The one running googleapis.com, where you can find your daily scam. They marked us once more for an APK their own scanner marks clean. See gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577 for more details.
And always keep in mind: that's the actor that wants to define which apps are safe for you to install on your Android devices, and disable you from installing the others. Because, security, you know?
Thanks @alcea – though we should hand the praise to the dev of the app, or at least share it with them. We just make it easier accessible – but all the work of developing the app in the first place, wasn't ours 😉
To Google: SafeBrowsing could be such a useful tool – but you're undermining the trust in it yourselves by such actions. Especially when even your own scanners disagree. Get a human in the loop, your system is hallucinating 😉

Elina Valtosen mukaan Yhdysvallat on edelleen sitoutunut NATOn viidenteen artiklaan. Tämäpä mukava uutinen! Voimme siis luottaa siihen. että mikäli Yhdysvallat hyökkää Grönlantiin, Yhdysvallat ryhtyy välittömästi puolustamaan Grönlantia Yhdysvaltojen hyökkäykseltä ja aloittaa sotatoimet Yhdysvaltoja vastaan.

If not, how about organizing one in Friday evening? Nothing formal or fancy. We can just pick up one of the nice old pubs in the old town and meet there.

it's like me way back doing the same over IRC. So many people patiently answered my questions and built the foundations for my entire career
I wonder what dumpsters he's diving though because for a poor Chinese kid (he told me he was poor), he currently has in his possession a Huawei iSCSI SAN

Hey blind people, what is the recommended accessible format for distributing text-only content? So that a short text of a couple hundred words is browsable, searchable and the structure is understandable?
Am I correct is assuming that a well-structured PDF with all the titles set correctly would do the trick? Or is there some secret file format that is much better suited?
The document is intended to be distributed as downloadable file, not as a website.
(Sighted people feel free to boost but for the love of everything please do not try to answer)
Properly tagged PDFs can work, but depending on how the PDF is generated, getting the tagging done correctly can be anything from slightly tricky to impossible. But if you go with epub, it's pretty much the same as generating accessible HTML. A lot easier.
@fastfinge I try not to be dogmatic about much in accessibility. But one hill I will proudly die on every time is that there is no such thing as a universally accessible PDF.
You can get the tags right, test with users, spend 12 thousand dollars on it being professionally evaluated and remediated...
And then I'll open it on my phone, or in Chrome, or in Firefox, or in basically anything that isn't Acrobat and it will go wrong.
Maybe just a little bit, with a paragraph being incorrectly spread across multiple lines. Maybe a lot, with all of your expensive and careful tagging being completely discarded.
You don't know what will happen, I don't know what will happen. given that one of the only real selling points of PDF is that it will retain and faithfully reproduce visual layout and formatting, the fact that not even the tiniest bit of accessibility consistency exists makes it a rotten ecosystem.
@fastfinge And yes, I know lots of people have put lots of effort into PDF accessibility, both at the big tech and open source levels. My aim is not to dismiss that, but rather to acknowledge how practically bad things still are.
Mozilla, for instance, have probably come closest to creating a PDF parser -> renderer pipeline that respects accessibility tags and isn't made by Adobe. But even Firefox breaks single runs of text across screen reader cursor lines, sometimes with as little as one character each making text hard or impossible to follow.
On iOS, meanwhile, I can't reliably use VoiceOver's explore by touch in a PDF rendered by Apple's own software, which also occasionally turns individual letters or random bits of words into their own swipe targets while stripping Whitespace.
The various apps made specifically for blind readers with PDF support? I don't even trust them to accurately extract all the text, let alone present the tagging and formatting correctly.
@fastfinge Invariably, someone will read posts like this and think—maybe even post—PDF's not all that bad. They read a set restaurant menu on their phone just the other day!
What I say to that is: good, I'm glad they could do that. But also, they can't even independently be sure that they actually did read the full menu.
Still, that's two pages of relatively low stakes text. It's not a 265-page legal document which even Acrobat's accessibility layer took seven minutes to render and then caused the software to crash upon navigating to the first footnote.
@WeirdWriter@skye The issue with HTML is that a lot of browsers these days will refuse to download HTML, and will just open it. For less techy people, actually saving an HTML file they got from a link can be challenging. And markdown is fine on desktop, but I'm not aware of anything on mobile that allows navigating by headings in a markdown file. Personally I'd say epub. There are free programs on all the platforms that can open epub, browsers just download it by default, making accessible epubs is as easy as making accessible html, and it will work for blind and sighted alike so you don't need to create two different documents.

As Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called "Board of Peace" at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities.
The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones.
This all comes as Palestinians in Gaza struggle to survive with little food or shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid.
“It’s hard to take these people seriously. I mean, they’re buffoonish.
But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News.
He calls the Board of Peace “a parody of a colonial body” and says the plan for Gaza will result in “ultimate control and subjugation” of the Palestinian population
