Firefox supports a new “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” feature in the context menu which ensures that copied links no longer contain tracking information.

Did you know @kde had an #accessibility inspector? Currently it's hidden in the build folder of libqaccessibilityclient but not for long. We started the process of making it a standalone application and a first release is planned in 2-3 weeks!

ever since Be my AI demonstrated the capabilities of GPT 4 for understanding the content of images, which is not a single bit less impressive than its textual abilities, I was looking forward to having an API I could use.
Because this brings awesome potential for various use-cases, though also for economical reasons, Be my AI is not on Android yet and I can't really afford spending $20 monthly on a ChatGPT + subscription.
Few days ago, OpenAI finally introduced a vision API, and here is my really simple, but working Be my AI in terminal:
github.com/RastislavKish/visio…
Let's have some fun, there is a lot to enjoy!
Note: Uploading images can take a while, though if it apparently takes too long, it's likely frozen, OpenAI is dealing with a lot of demand after their dev conference on six-th November, so chatGPT is down from time to time. My script is not very well prepared for this at this moment, I may add proper timeouts and retry options if it becomes too big of an issue, though I rather expect things to calm down again as things get resolved on the OpenAI side.

There are many awesome data sharing solutions around. However, I've always wanted to be able to just Ctrl+C on one machine and Ctrl+V on another, clipboard is just such a handy thing!
so, I finally decided to get this done. Welcome Clipshare, a foss, end to end encrypted universal clipboard, written in Rust! Only Text and desktop platforms supported for now, but Android is definitely coming and files / images perhaps too.

Global hotkeys on Windows need Autohotkey for now as far as I can tell, I was building the program on Linux so the Microsoft platform got somewhat minor attention. But the sync mode does work, so you can use tools like AHK to make it working. I will try to fix it, though feedback from Windows users on this would be definitely appreciated!
Have fn!

Today I'll probably be posting a bit more from the #OpenAlt conference. If you're not interested in it, use that great feature of Mastodon and mute me for the weekend.
I'll be giving two talks at OpenAlt:
Fedora Asahi Remix: Linux on Apple Silicon
Fediverse: Mastodon and Others
I'll be happy to meet you at the #Fedora booth or at my talks. If you cannot come, you can watch the talks online (they're in Czech though): openalt.cz/2023/program/

@sovtechfund (funded by the German government) just announced a €1M grant towards the @gnome project, an open source desktop environment.
Imagine a world in which governments don't spend billions of dollars in licensing fees every year to make Microsoft richer, and that money instead goes towards _public code_ that belongs to all of us.
That may seem utterly implausible - but every example like this brings us one step closer to it being inevitable.

OpenAI si vsimlo o jake niche je zajem v tisicich AI startupech a spustilo vlastni "GPT builder".
Je to celkem dobra evoluce v pouzitelnosti. Dost lidi si najde vlastni pouziti ChatGPT a to se pro ne stane synonymem pro AI. Napriklad doplnovani kodu, analyza tabulek, zkracovani textu, copy na socky... Pojmenovane chaty s jakoby ruznou funkci jim tuhle kotvu pomuzou zvednout.

It’s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described.

I just spent over 30 minutes attempting (and failing) to sign up for Oracle Cloud's free tier thing because I wanted to test it out. So far, I have:
* Attempted to get around 3 HCaptcha accessibility cookies (I wrote a previous rant about that somewhere (TL;DR: Fuck HCaptcha)),
* Figured out it didn't like my generated password (seriously?),
* sat there for like 3 minutes waiting for the signup process to actually go through (once I verified my payment information and such and there were no (visible) errors, though there could have totally been some hidden error I missed because it was inaccessible),
* Among other amazing things.
I just don't get it.
As night trains are the superior art of traveling, I never understood why in the last decade most train companies dismantled them.
I always suspected a mixture of pseudo-modernism ("high-speed trains are more modern"), lack of cooperation among rail operators of different countries (the European rail system has more of a patchwork than a network) and the conspiracy theory of car and air travel industries lobbying against the most convenient way to travel long distances.
Luckily, follks in Eastern European countries weren't as shortsighted as their counterparts in the other parts of Europe, and maintained their night trains. ÖBB is most active in bringing back night train connections in Europe. Turkyie and Ukraine are good on track, too!
If you want to find night train connections, check this web:
back-on-track.eu/night-train-l…?
"Back-on-Track is a European network to support improved European cross-border passenger train traffic and night trains." 🖤

So yeah. Are there things that could be improved? Of course. When isn't there? There's always room for improvement. But considering where we came from, basically a game where you held and released one button with the previous Forza, to this? This is amazing. I can only imagine what they could do if this accessibility mindset continued. And I really hope it does. And not just for racing games. For all games. Sorry now I'm seriously just rambling.

Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.
You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!
This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).
It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.
