well 404 does initially publish everything for free, to my knowledge anyways. They just paywall their archives after some amount of time. So you gotta be quick about it, but I’ve never seen any critical/current events from them paywalled. I read this Cellebrite one for free when it came out.

2024-07-15 18:46:11

oh man, I can’t even buy stickers anymore?

2024-07-14 03:20:18

The amount of brain dead takes I’m seeing on this app recently is a good reminder that Mastodon didn’t solve *all* of Twitter’s problems. Some are just inherent to social media.
Time to go outside for some fresh air 😊

well, the heat has to go somewhere regardless of how it’s cooled. Unless you go insane like Linus (Tech Tips) and hook up the water cooling loop to your outdoor pool or something, it won’t make a difference to your room temps.

Okay, lots of talk about Mozilla becoming an ad company (ew). Out of curiosity, *approximately* how much would you honestly pay for an open-source, privacy-respecting, bloat-free web browser?
Something like Firefox, if you knew your money was 100% going towards Firefox development and not the pockets of Mozilla execs or their Pocket/AI/AdTech side ventures.

yeah, I was thinking about that yesterday. There's not really a mechanism to *prevent* this AFAIK... as if a legislative body would ever place limits on themselves.

can’t really speak to any of Apple’s accessibility stuff, outside of the fact that everyone I know IRL who it’d be relevant to uses and swears by Apple products, so I assume it’s pretty good on that front.

hmm okay. First thing seems like a big problem (which I haven’t seen a single mention of this week, but maybe I missed it lol) that I’d imagine is true, since I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite as nice as macOS’s setup process in the Linux world in terms of accessibility options 😔
Second thing (which is the only thing I’ve seen many paragraphs of threads about) seems like people assuming the worst for no reason whatsoever. So, just classic internet drama I guess?

2024-06-20 06:30:06

Seeing a lot of GNOME drama about accessibility lately that isn’t making much sense to me.
If you use a screen reader, why wouldn’t you also just use X11? You’re already using a non-default tool, so a non-default window system seems like not really a burden. If they were going to remove X11 in favor of Wayland I’d obviously 100% agree it’s bad, but they aren’t (until screen readers work), so… what’s the deal?
Someone smarter pls explain 🙏

"IF it becomes a national law"
This is not my understanding of how the EU works after the Treaty of Lisbon was made effective in 2009. It seems to me that national governments have a lot less power to override law in areas where the Union has the power to make them nowadays.
But, I hope it will work out 🙏 One thing the EU *definitely* does better than the US is listen to public opinion at the end of the day 👍

2024-06-19 16:56:32

Say what you will about the US government, but at least is it pretty easy to:
1. Find out who is elected, how they were elected, where they’re from
2. Generally find media coverage about federal laws being proposed
The more I read about the #EU and things like #ChatControl, the more I wonder how Europeans can accept this technocratic system that seems (almost?) intentionally designed mainly to shield national governments from the blame of their own bad decision-making.

2024-06-19 09:16:17

Really the only thing I can think of that currently exists and comes close to #ChatControl is North Korea's OS, which scans every file on the computer for certain keywords... and the fact that this comparison is being made at all is very problematic.

Another month, another round of server bills arriving 💸

I haven't been a huge fan of the idea that's been floated around that Proton should develop their own web browser... but with all the latest #Mozilla news, and now this great development... maybe @npub19kd…t56d should take up Mozilla's mantle after all 🤣

Why do I feel like #Mozilla will get a pass on this tech that is very similar to the ridiculed Google Privacy Sandbox? 😇

2024-06-14 14:14:58

So anti-vaxxers have been supporting a real-life “deep state conspiracy” this entire time huh? Although I actually am a little (emphasis on little) surprised it turned out the US government themselves pushed the anti-vax narrative instead of a foreign hostile power 🤦‍♂️

If Disney is going to continue insisting on these live action movies, can’t they at least re-make Atlantis and/or Treasure Planet? Those could be killer live actions.

surely not more than just uploading images to a post…

2024-06-11 09:59:07

Will #Mastodon add the ability for individual users to upload emojis to their account, now that [Genmoji](https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/#:%7E:text=letting%20users%20create%20a%20new%20emoji%20to%20match%20any%20moment ) exists? Seems like there will be a lot more demand for custom emojis in the future 🤔

2024-06-08 17:27:40

Anyone using the #iVerify app on their iPhone or Android? I’m also curious about how long you’ve been using it and what your thoughts on it are.

maybe the solution to all the copyright discourse around AI is simply for each copyright holder to mint their work as an NFT 🤔🤔🤔

2024-06-08 06:33:09

hot take but “AI” is kind of making me miss the “blockchain” days
