@fabiscafe @okapi espechally in the form of an interactive desktop...

  • I could see it valid for multiple shell sessions, but #tmux & #screen cover that pretty well.

  • If one has to login into different machines then chances are #aithentification is centralized anyway.

Needless to say #modernizations like #SystemD don't happen because people like #Poettering are "hobbyless", but because the preexisting status-quo (#SysVinit) was slow, inflexible and error-prone by strict linearity and non-parallelization.

  • With a literal /etc/init file one can literally get a system to hang due to a mistake (i.e. certain call doesn't get invoked correctly), whereas on #SystemD (and competing solutions like #LaunchD on #macOS and #SMF on #Solaris) your desktop / laptop will continue to noot even if it doesn't have a network connection.

Not to mention as Benno Rice explained: 'Shit just gotmore dynamic!': We don't have that one big ass maingrame and serial terminals, instead we have laptops that may he carried around a campus or traveled with all day and that constantly switch between wireless and wired networks and have VPN tunnels open and whatnot...

Hey @Snowman,
What's your familiarity level with #Reaper? I'm having a wierd issue with my left arrow key, that is exclusive to Reaper. I have all necessary extensions which make it accessible to those of us using #screen-readers. thie issue is:
When audio is not playing & I'm not in keyboard help mode, the left arrow seems to take me forward through my project, rather than back, as it should & states it will when I enable help mode.
I have the latest version of #jaws2025, along with the scripts you made installed.
How do you recommend I proceed?

@joplinapp I just heard about your app tonight, during a class I attended. I'm visually impaired & your app was mentioned as a free alternative to OneNote. However, on my #Windows11 computer, with the #JAWS #Screen-reader, I'm unable to sync because it's insisting that I create a Joplin Cloud account, which I found out, has a cost associated with it. Would you be willing to provide more info on pricing? I was unable to find it on your website? (1/2)

As Sergeant Baker strode into the barracks, the men quieted down.
"Next week we're having exercises with those farmboys from Butterfield Arsenal," he said. "Squad Six has been assigned to #screen the left flank."
"Who's going to lead?" Flypaper asked.
"Who do you want?"
The men looked at one another, then with one voice they said, "Curtains."
"Looks like it's all you, boy," Baker said to Curtains. "Don't embarrass us."
"Has he ever?" laughed Roughneck.
"I'll do my best, Sergeant."

The cottage was abandoned. Maybe once it had been a gamekeeper's residence, "but now it's been left to the pixies," Liza's brother said.

Liza longed to see pixies, & one afternoon, she found her way to the cottage.

The #screen on the outer door was torn; the inner door was open. On the floor inside lay grasses, tender leaves, & russula mushrooms. Seated round were harvest mice & hares--& pixies, with laughing eyes & shining hair.

"Hungry? Join us!" they invited.

“[T]he church swapped out its priest to set up a #computer and cables in the confessional booth. After training the #AI program in theological texts, visitors were then invited to pose questions to a long-haired image of #Jesus beamed through a latticework #screen. He responded in real time, offering up answers generated through artificial intelligence.”

AI worshippers have come full circle.

If you’ve lost your iPhone, your first step would probably be to use Apple’s Find Devices feature to pinpoint its location.

So, imagine the horror of trying to log in only to find that you’re locked out of your Apple ID
—someone has changed your password
—and that whoever has your phone has free rein over it, including access to your money through financial apps.

Without your Apple ID, you can’t kick them off or remotely wipe sensitive data from your phone.

And you may have permanently lost access to everything stored on iCloud, including your photos. 

This has been the reality of hundreds, if not thousands, of people,
as detailed in recent reporting, which recounts stories of phone-theft victims observed entering passcodes or tricked into divulging it.

The passcode is then used to compromise their Apple ID.

What can you do to prevent this❓

Apple will be releasing a Stolen Device Protection feature in a future software update to help prevent bad actors from changing users’ account passwords.

In the meantime, and to add another layer of protection, I use Apple’s #Screen #Time feature to disable account changes.

This requires that another passcode be entered
—one a thief will likely not have gleaned by looking over your shoulder
—in order to do things like change your Apple ID password.

For this to work properly, make sure your iCloud account password is not saved in the Password’s keychain
—otherwise, someone could reset your Screen Time passcode. 

⭐️To disable account changes: 

Go to Settings

Click on “Screen Time”

Click on “Content & Privacy Restrictions”

Under “ALLOW CHANGES”, click on “Account Changes”

Select “Don’t allow"
