It's that time of the year, I am open for #audio mixing and mastering, as well as #restoration jobs on the Fediverse.
Even better, for the entire month of December, I will do it for completely #free, especially if it's meant to be a gift, or you are looking to preserve dear memories.
If you need professional quality, custom ear-tailored audio work that sounds good and translates nicely, no matter where you listen, get in touch and let's discuss your needs.
Please note: This is on a first come, first serve basis, depending on requests.

#Seznam, the company behind Mapy.cz, has become a silver partner of the #OpenStreetMap Foundation.
It was about time. They've been benefiting from #OSM for years.
Now I have one last thing on my wishlist: Drop the proprietary maps for #Czechia and use OSM everywhere.

I wonder how hard it is to bind keys "per keyboard" in userland Linux. Like if I get a separate USB num keypad, how easy is it get the key event so I can use it as a specialised controller.
Just thinking out loud.

So you mean giving the screen reader a way to receive notifications about input events?
Is this work related to the solution @matt prototyped as part of STF this year?
Thanks for tagging me on this thread. Yeah, he's extracting that part of the work I did for STF earlier this year, and reimplementing the AT side of it in libatspi. As for the bit about X.org, it seems to me that Mutter shouldn't expose this new protocol at all when running in X window manager mode, since libatspi can already get keystrokes directly from the X server.
To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:
"I don't care, I use Linux"
Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?
This is a systemic problem.
You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

Hledal jsem, na co koukat na Maxu, když mi dali tu slevu a když už mám všechno dobré dokoukané. Nakonec jsem s přemáháním pustil seriál Rome (2005).
To zas bude znásilňování dějin, říkal jsem si. Po stránce historicity jsem ale nejpozitivněji překvapen: hlavní linie příběhu +/- sedí, herci odpovídají věku postav, dvě hlavní postavy (dva muži z lidu – vojáci) mají alespoň jména odpovídající reálným postavám. Dokonce jsem se i něco doučil (Brutova matka Servilia byla Caesarovou milenkou; Caesar nebyl prcek jako Napoleon, Stalin nebo Goebbles, ale byl opravdu vyšší postavy než tehdejší průměr) a mnohé připomněl (sebevražda Catona Mladšího a Metella Scipiona).
Ocenil jsem satirické prvky (Caesar nebyl biologickým otcem syna, kterého měl s Kleopatrou VII 😁).
Neocenil jsem rétorické výkony senátorů, které jsou redukovány na jednu dvě vzletné věty. Jako chápu, že by na to nikdo nevydržel koukat, ale nechat toho Cicerona mluvit aspoň 5 až 10 minut teda mohli. 😀

A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵

So questions for #Blind #Edgucaters, #teachers, #school staff and anyone in the #education field as a whole.
I am a university student who originally planned to double major in computer science and elementary education, but I’ve recently faced some concerns that I’d like to address.
I’ve been told that pursuing a teaching certification might not be advisable because schools may be reluctant to hire a teacher with low vision, who is mostly blind, to manage a classroom of thirty or more students. This has been quite upsetting.
My dream was to work with elementary students, focusing on #STEM subjects and teaching technology-related topics like understanding tech, its role in the world, and the basics of programming. Now, I find myself uncertain about what path to take.
Working with kids, especially those in elementary school, is my biggest passion, even more than tech or music. It’s something that would truly fulfill me. Since I can’t have kids myself, guiding and teaching young learners is the next best thing. It’s a career I’m committed to and want to excel in.
Being advised not to pursue a teaching certification and to focus solely on computer science has been quite discouraging. I’ve been told to study elementary education as a secondary focus and combine it with my computer science studies. This might involve developing educational systems for kids, but it would likely mean limited direct interaction, possibly just during product testing, which isn’t enough for me.
So, I have a few questions:
1. Are there any educators with #Blindness or #LowVision challenges working with elementary students? If so, in what capacity do you work with them?
2. How has your disability affected your effectiveness in the field?
3. What challenges did you face in getting certified and qualified, and how did you overcome them?
4. What obstacles have you encountered in the classroom and with colleagues, and how have you addressed them?
If these questions don’t apply, what advice can you offer me in pursuing my goal of working with children? While tech is a focus, I’m open to being flexible, as long as it’s an area I’m confident in.
Finally, if teaching isn’t possible for me, what other career paths would you suggest that align with my goals?
I’d really appreciate any support
and engagement in this discussion.
Boosts welcomed and appreciated.

There's an interesting #accessibility webinar next Tuesday by Funka on EN301549 requirements that go beyond WCAG.
Especially relevant for public sector bodies, which must fulfil EN301549 Annex A, some of which is beyond the scope of WCAG.

Every time I have to deal with the libatspi C API, I want to bang my head repeatedly against the desk. The Python bindings around it moved from a "we're writing static bindings so might as well make them more idiomatic" to a big "let's fix the C API" layer, but nobody is fixing the C API because that would require breaking backward compatibility.
I'm not even going to touch the fact that it took more than 10 years to get the RPC interfaces to match the implementation…

Should #Conversations_im add stun.conversations.im as a fallback for #XMPP servers missing XEP-0215: External Service Discovery?
I’ve hesitated to add anything resembling "calling home" (no update checker, no metrics).
However, the main goal here wouldn’t be improving A/V call success (though it helps) but making P2P file transfers more reliable. Many servers still lack HTTP Upload, and the refactored Jingle File Transfer would benefit greatly from a fallback STUN server.
Peter Vágner reshared this.
If it can be deactivated in the configuration, then I don't see an issue with that. I would appreciate a warning though somewhere, maybe just a Message Toast on both sides that the fallback is used. That would help notice wrong configurations.
It would be great if conversations could verify that stun/turn works completely in addition to that. (Might also be a separate tool).
This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.
The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️

A teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:
'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?
'Michael said: 'Just a minute I have to go pee.' The teacher responded by saying: 'That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it?'
Sherman said: 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.'
'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?'
Johnny said 'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for
a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'

Takže přátelé, #Vánoce se blíží a jak jsem varoval, tak už je to tady - #DarujHračku
Máte jedinečnou možnost rozsvítit aspoň na jeden den oči dítěti, který moc důvodů k radosti nemá. Akci organizují každoročně #Tango manažeři na vozíčcích, což je samo o sobě něco, co si zaslouží obdiv.
Představte si, že můžete náhodnýmu prckovi dopřát zázrak pod stromek a splnit mu přání. Buďte #Ježíšek.
Často to nedělám, ale tentokrát prosím - boostujte. On totiž i ten pitomej boost může znamenat radost v očích jednoho prcka.
