The XMPP Software Foundation has published an open letter to Meta, asking them to support true messaging interoperability using the XMPP protocol.
Meta had previously integrated this protocol, and WhatsApp is actually built on XMPP for its message routing system.
We support this initiative as it represents the best approach for genuine interoperability. Federation is the way to go !

Someone here suggested WERO, we read about it and have just activated it in our bank. It was very simple and took 2 or 3 clicks.
An all-in-one digital wallet solution:
Wero is a new European payment system designed to modernize the way we handle transactions across the continent. Launched in 2024, it aims to unify various national payment solutions into a single platform.
Wero is the brainchild of the European Payments Initiative (EPI), a consortium of 16 European banks. The initiative was born out of a need to create a sovereign and unified payment solution for Europe, reducing dependence on non-European payment systems like Visa & Mastercard.
With Wero, sending money to friends and family will be much easier because it allows you to send and receive $$ instantly using just an email address, phone number, or QR code. No more IBANS, 3 days of waiting to receive 💸 etc.
It's also a good alternative for Paypal 🇺🇸 and it is designed to replace several national payment solutions, including Giropay 🇩🇪, Paylib 🇫🇷, Payconiq 🇧🇪 🇱🇺 and iDEAL 🇳🇱 which not always work cross-borders.
The roadmap is full of features to be implemented like online and in-store payment.
For the moment, it's available only in Germany, France and Belgium.

I am wondering if it is possible with #NVDA to search for text in specific colours.
Let's say a co-worker sends you a document and tells you that they have formated some sentences in red and others marked with a yellow background.
How would I quickly find such sentences?
With #JAWS the skim reading feature comes to mind. But I don't know if there is a way to do the same thing with #NVDA.

Tonight's weird tech question: Is there a DOM API/JavaScript hack of some sort I can use to track, save, and restore the screen reader's position in a relatively static HTML document? Say, for instance, you were reading a book in an HTML document with your screen reader, then closed the window. Now imagine that window was an app, and I wanted to make certain your position was restored when that app opened again. Is there an API I could hook into for that?
It's not quite focus, because that'd require tabindex. It probably isn't one of the text properties, right? Because you're not exactly in charted territory when you're arrowing through a paragraph not in a writable element like an input or textarea. Can I track that at all?
Peter Vágner reshared this.
No. The closest thing to an automatic solution to that is probably tracking scroll position, and you may or may not be able to make that more granular by making the text quite big (I haven't tried). But even then, the best you're gonna be able to achieve is to track the closest element and put focus back there to restore the position, without character-level accuracy.
I know that Mozilla and NV Access have done some work to allow selection of text within the NVDA browse mode buffer to be communicated to the browser for on-page actions that require a selection. But:
1. That doesn't work across browsers; and
2. your use case seems targeted at reading, not selecting.
Thanks, that's what I was thinking. And just to check an assumption, setting the scroll position won't update the screen reader's position in the doc--I'd have to use focus shenanigans for that?
For context, this is my attempt at a document reader that saves/restores position when the document is closed/reopened. I don't think I need character accuracy, or even paragraph accuracy, if I can open books or longer documents to roughly where the reader closed out.
FWIW I'm not just being lazy and asking, I'm trying right now and it isn't working, which I suspected it wouldn't. It's also possible I'm using my web framework wrong or that something is behaving silly under Linux.
Thanks again!
That's mostly correct.
There are some instances in which a webpage can move the scroll position without explicitly setting focus to the target element, and have the screen reader's reading position follow. But that can be less reliable, particularly if the target element is visually obscured, and setting focus is a more explicit/guaranteed way to do it.
Note that if you're setting focus to things like headings and paragraphs that aren't focusable by default, you'll need to dynamically inject a `tabindex="-1"` for the best results.

Closing in on the first big milestone of Exchange support in @thunderbird! One of the last major items on our list before the next big step is the ability to copy folders - including from outside an Exchange account into one - and I've just managed to get it to work locally.

Edit: This post is based on outdated information which is no longer relevant. I apologize for the confusion.
NVDA Remote was merged into NVDA for the upcoming 2025.1 release.
This sounds like something to be happy about, but read on.
Now every new feature and change has to go through NV Access to get approved, which is a lot more work than adding your feature to an addon.
Why not create a separate addon? As said in #17703, they plan to remove the ability for addons to run on secure screens in the future. If this happens, nothing like Remote can ever be created again without the blessing and cooperation of NV Access.
Instead of empowering developers and users by allowing them to choose which addons are usable on secure screens, NV Access plans on disabling them.
Merging this just gives NV Access more leverage to meeting this goal. Their reason might be something like now that Remote is merged, we don't need addons there anymore because the interaction time is so short.
You might say that NVDA is open source, so someone can just modify the features they don't like. That's true, but it has to be signed for UI Access to work correctly, so someone would have to pay quite a bit to fork it and do their own thing. You then also have the problem of a fragmented community between NVDA and the new one.
The advantage with Remote merged in is that the users will be able to use Remote without an extra download, but we're going to be stuck with whatever NV Access gives us. I guess we'll see what they turn it into.

It feels quite uncomfortable that cloudflare is somewhat openly admitting to analysing login credentials that are going through the reverse proxy, and providing aggregated stats on it (without explicit consent of the user it appears?)
Based on Cloudflare's observed traffic between September - November 2024, 41% of successful logins across websites protected by Cloudflare involve compromised passwords.
Don't get me wrong the results are actually pretty interesting, but I just cannot think of a ethical way of doing this, and it feels kind of jarring that they just "did that"

Today I learned: If you use #Chrome and are annoyed by those "Sign in with Google" dialogs stealing keyboard focus on certain websites, you can disable it at the browser level.
In the address bar, type or paste in "chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi" (without the quotes. You should land on the "Third-party sign-in" Settings page.
On that page, there'll be two radio buttons: "Sites can show sign-in prompts from identity services", and "Block sign-in prompts from identity services". Set it to the second one, and you should find that the problematic dialogs are no longer present.

>have you actually tried it yet, though
Yes, I have. And, it worked. But, it sucked. And I don't want to go through the lengths to make it not suck (like a dedicated address for it + a Chatmail deployment) when I already run an XMPP service which does everything DeltaChat does but better + more.
@adiz this statement is technically inaccurate. Xmpp and Delta chat have the same federated model, so architecturally they are equivalent.
However, a key pain point for me for xmpp is that media attachment is out of band with regards to the protocol, occurring over http. It has all the same privacy concerns that media uploaded to the fediverse does. As media sent over Delta chat occurs in band (email attachment) and is end-to-end encrypted, it is strictly better from a privacy perspective.
However, from a normalfag perspective, interface remains the chief detriment of using xmpp over other solutions. The xmpp ecosystem has been waiting for "someone else" to make a good, functional, attractive client forever. It is not a good argument to say that all it needs is a client that has not been developed in 20 plus years. One client that is a functional clone of something that normalfags are used to like telegram or Whatsapp, is an enormous selling point for people not concerned with, or unable to understand arguments for privacy.
I like xmpp. I like Delta chat. But there will be no one true instant messaging solution until a plurality of users exist that brings it to dominate the market. Currently, those are all proprietary networks tied to services like Facebook or well, mostly Facebook I guess.
The open source community is never going to fill this gap. I'd like to be proven wrong, but I've been waiting for 20 years now...
waiting just as long. hasn't happened. the desktop ui for deltachat feels wonky and i'm slowly moving away from handset although arcanechat for 'droid is pretty okay.
what i like about deltachat is i already have a mail system which i use for.. mail. i can still keep encrypted mail separate from delta(openpgp) encrypted messages and it just works. i've handed deltachat to people in this thread, elsewhere on fedi, at the local coffee haus, and to the chick i'm dating who's not technical. so far so good.
i was always an enthusiast of xmpp, but damned if i can't get anyone to talk on it regularly so i use it for a transport bridge for fun, nothing serious.

Everyone talks about XMPP and bad clients, but I just don't have this experience. There are multiple clients available and they all work well for me. 🤷
It's kinda a moot point when Delta Chat has just the one client.
I can concede media being facilitated by HTTP in XMPP vs. within the protocol itself. Still more performant and capable than trying to do file transfer over SMTP. @feld

@pwm
@adiz @pwm it's pretty easy for you to build a client on any platform if you want. You get to skip all the annoying parts of reinventing the SMTP/IMAP/PGP and Iroh functionality. In fact it would be stupid to reinvent it because the core has been audited multiple times.
So you just wrap the core DeltaChat JSON-RPC server (written in Rust) and treat it like an API service, and you're done.
just because there are client libraries for these protocols in another language don't mean they're good or safe
edit: I should really emphasize that the only safe PGP implementation is rPGP in Rust, and it has some required functionality you will not find in GPG, Sequioa, NetPGP, etc that is being leveraged for additional privacy. It would be a security downgrade to not use it.
edit2: anonymous recipient is an example, which makes it impossible for an adversary to analyze the PGP data and know who it was intended for because there is no exposed public key ID. The only way to know who the message was for is to successfully decrypt it with the recipient's key! github.com/rpgp/rpgp/issues/50…
Currently rPGP supports receiving packets with "anonymous recipient" (all-zero wildcard keyid/fingerprint), but I have not found any way to generate them. But key_id is always included in the gener...GitHub
> Everyone talks about XMPP and bad clients, but I just don't have this experience.
If you lock yourself in a box where only Android and Linux desktops exist, sure, there's an *okay* XMPP experience available. Conversations on Android is like the only good client available.
But the experience is still terrible on Windows, Mac, and iPhones
@pwm@darkdork.dev @adiz@mtl.jinxian.casa
media attachment is out of band with regards to the protocol, occurring over http
Does it not send some sort of key over XMPP when you are sending a file to an OMEMO chat, making the data transmitted over HTTP useless without it? I never looked into it myself, but attachments sent without OMEMO look like normal links you can access from a web browser, those sent with OMEMO encryption have aesgcm:// schema.
I'm just not that knowledgeable about XMPP and not sure what that means 🤪
Does this mean that the URL is encrypted or that the file has to be downloaded and then decrypted with a key sent over XMPP?
This specification provides a protocol for sharing encrypted files using the stateless file sharing protocol (XEP-0447).Marvin Wißfeld
@m0xEE @adiz @pwm that's similar to how Signal does it as well, and I think iMessage(?). Probably Whatsapp for groups too. Makes most sense anyway.
Fun part is that if the web hosting is not owned by the chat app team it has a potential for metadata leaks. Signal groups use CloudFlare, so you can just ask CloudFlare for the logs of who downloaded a file from their CDN and you get the IPs of all members of a Signal group. So you better hope that nobody has infiltrated your top secret anonymous anarchist chat group and shared a file because there's a way to unmask the members
There are ways to unmask IPs, anyway. If the concern is about deanonymization or infiltration or loss of encryption then honestly the most likely threat in any system is a mole, not people pulling server logs from service providers or man-in-the-middle attacks, etc.. And, there is virtually no way to program or digitally defend yourself out of infiltration if you're running a group or organization. 🤷
Luckily, we run our own websites and XMPP server, etc.. @pwm @m0xEE
