So gerade mal mein zerschossen weil ich nicht aufgepasst habe beim Update und icu irgendwie nicht mitgenommen hab. Aber dank Bootstick und arch-chroot und pacman-static war das recht schnell wieder geregelt.

Dafür liebe ich , hätte man sicher neu installieren müssen...

One of the many features we have in @Vivaldi is the Calendar.

We had some important requirements when we made it:

1. Flexibility in display. So many calendars cut a lot of information. We want everything you want to be visible to be visible.

2. Inline editing option. Means you can see everything else while adding or editing an event.

3. Easy to use with the keyboard.

4. Both offline and online accounts. Means you can choose whether events are stored in the cloud or just locally on your computer.

If you have not tried it, give it a try. Available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Bonus : Makes it easier to move away from Big Tech.

You're a newbie and as a newbie, you want a system that "just works".

You are OK with learning if you must, but the truth is, you would rather a system that is already familiar, and out of the box, the only thing you want to set up is your Wi-Fi (maybe printer). To be perfectly honest, you simply want point and click easy, just like Windows or Apple.

Ultramarine Linux (Kde Plasma) is what you seek.

I have looked everywhere, but I can't find this post from 11 February! It isn't showing up in my Sent timeline. So if it is on my profile, and/or if you have seen it, I apologise.

I am not closing my account here, but I need to try something other than Friendica, due to accessibility issues. I am considering Akkoma, but am open to other networks if they are compatible with Mastodon.

I am seeking an instance with the following specifications.

Accessible interface (I use a screen reader called NVDA). If it uses Semantic html and isn't cluttered, that's a great start. I would prefer it to be compatible with Mastodon so that I could also use TweeseCake as a client. I need to easily be able to access things such as notifications, follow requests, my own posts, to be able to search for tags, people, my posts etc.

Posting limit of 5,000 characters or more (more preferred.

Ability to pin, unpin, edit, and delete posts.

Ability to filter content, so that I don't see certain words or phrases. (This doesn't work with TweeseCake, so it's not as important as the rest, unless the site is so accessible that I can use it often.)

Ability to select between seeing all posts of someone or only some, and to choose whether to let someone follow me without my seeing his posts or to follow him completely. (Friend versus Subscriber on Friendica).

Extensive profile with keywords. (Keywords may be a Friendica feature, so can be skipped.)

Most people write in English and are not politically, technologically, or gaming obsessed. No radicals of any pursuasion. (the English bit is just to help me find friends on my particular instance.)

Free speech (nothing illegal or homophobic). I personally avoid obscenities.)

If such an instance exists, please tell me. I found https://akkoma.fediverse.observer/list[7] but that's just a list with no real information about each instance. I would have to go through over 400 of them, choose the ones from the UK, Canada, and America (they're the most likely to have English instances), then go through those to see if they meet my requirements, but that's ridiculous.

I am not a programmer, so please don't suggest I start my own instance or join a network that is not set up with a webpage and/or to accept a client, as I know nothing about these things other than that they run on Linux and I'm a Windows user. I just want something that works. Also, if there are any demonstration instances, please let me know. I heard of one where accounts only lasted five days, but it seems to be gone.

about the PnPUtil command. It allows you to list and manipulate the drivers recorded in the driver store.

If you've got an old Windows installation chances are that there's a lot of old cruft in there and it might prevent some recent security features from working (such as memory integrity and virtualization based security). pnputil is the right tool to find those old drivers and get rid of them.

If you are looking to move away from your Big Tech browser, maybe it is time to give Vivaldi a try?

A few things worth mentioning:

1. Workspaces and tab stacks.
2. Tab tiles.
3. Vivaldi Social, Mastodon server.
4. Encrypted sync.
5. Built in tracker and ad blocker.
6. No crypto built in.
7. No AI built in.

Vivaldi is made in Norway and Iceland and our servers are hosted in Iceland.

I asked you whether you had switched from Big Tech. This is what you answered.

69% Switched a long time ago.
13% Just switched.
15% Are about to switch.
3% Do not want to switch and love Big Tech.

I guess this makes sense. You are here.

Now, please help you friends and family switch. For their sake, but also for all of us. The world is better with them joining us.

Have a wonderful day!

Ready to move away from Big Tech?

There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO

Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own:

1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously.

2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one.

3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time.

4. Office software : Libre Office.

5. Video conference : Whereby.

6. Desktop OS : Linux.

7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general.

As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try.

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.

What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?

The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.

Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

You are going to have to trust me when I say, use Linux.

If you need 2nd PC for gaming. Fine.

But use your Linux PC for everything else. Banking, shopping, ect. If it important and can identify you, use Linux.

It does not matter what Linux distro. Newbies, I would suggest Ultramarine. But ultimately, anything is better than nothing. Do not make any excuses. Find away to use Linux.

I tried to post this to the Friendica support forum, but it kept timing out when I entered my information. I am now attempting to subscribe to their e-mail list. However, I thought I would write this here so that those who know coding, etc. might be able to offer a solution, or at least, to pass this on to the developers.

I joined Friendica in October of 2024, when Facebook decided to shut down their Basic Mobile site (not app). I am totally blind, and their main page is a nightmare to use with a screen readre (NVDA in my case). I chose Friendica because of the huge character limit, the ability to edit and delete posts, local posting, extensive profiles with keywords, and the ability to connect with all sorts of accounts in the Fediverse. For the most part, I am enjoying my time here. However, I am noticing a lot of inaccessibility on the Friendica page. I am not a programmer, but I'm guessing this is at the core of the software and is not due to the instance I'm using (friendica.world). I am also guessing that the page is not written in HTML5 and does not follow WCAG guidelines, though I may be wrong about that. If not, I strongly urge the developers to review them and implement them if possible. If so, perhaps, some changes can still be made that would make this a more screen reader-friendly site. Note that I tried this with Firefox and Supermium (a direct fork of Chrome).

Mostly, I use TweeseCake to access the site, but there are some things I can't do with that client. All of the following refer to the site itself.

  1. There is a list of links at the top of the page that acts like a menu. This causes many problems while trying to perform basic tasks, particularly editing posts and handling notifications. I can't always activate said links/menu either.

1A. I can't stress how frustrating editing posts is. It sometimes takes over ten minutes. The "edit" option is a link/menu, and it can only be found via another menu. Once I finally find and activate it, I hear the sound indicating that I have entered focus Mode. Usually, this means that I am in an edit box and can type. However, in this case, I am taken back to the main page, as if I never entered the option to edit my post. Using e to try to find an edit box doesn't help, as it just sends me to the replies to different comments. So I am forced to find the post, and start all over again. The only way I can do this successfully is to try to tab through the links/menu at the top of the page (when it works), then through other posts, until, finally, I am placed in an edit box where I can type.

1B. When I go to the Notifications" link, I have to tab to "Mark all System Notifications as Seen". This isn't even a regular link, as I can't copy and paste the text from it. Once I tab to and out of that, I can then read my notifications. But here is what I have to do if I want to see follow requests.
1. Try to get the notifications link to work, then click on it.
2. Tab to marking notifications.
3. Perform a search for the word follow.
4. Click on the link of the notification that someone wants to follow me. I open this in a new window, to try to keep the original one available.
5. Make my choice as to whether to approve that notification, then close that window.
6. Return to the main window. Only now, I am not where I left off. Instead, I am placed back at the beginning of the page and the Notifications menu is not open.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
Ideally, I should be able to go to a normal notifications link, perform steps 3 through 5, then return back to the link, and perform steps 3 through 5 again, as many times as necessary, without having to repeat 1 through 3.

  1. I can't just go to the site and enter an edit box to post. I must go through a menu to find the link to do so. Yet there is an edit box for searching for content, tags, etc.
  2. Some pinned posts don't always read properly. I can see my name, when I posted, that it's pinned, a public message, tags (if applicable), buttons for resharing, etc., and the number of comments. But I cannot simply read the post itself. ""Comments" is also a button, not a link. Even when I expand them, I still can't see my post, and finding the button again to close them takes a lot of time, as posts also have their own buttons. Note that unpinned posts are read properly.
  3. While the process of editing my profile is completely accessible, finding the edit option might be slightly confusing for new users, as it requires entering yet another link/menu, this time with the user name as the title..
  4. If I go to a profile of someone not on Friendica (usually Mastodon) and wish to reply to a post, after I enter my credentials, it takes me back to my profile, not to the relevant post. It only worked once.
  5. The Friendica app for Windows is basically the site itself. I don't understand this at all.

If you want to see a truly accessible site, try this link. I don't work for them, though I do have an account there.

dreamwidth.org

Please, if any changes can be made, I urge you to do so. The site is otherwise a pleasure to use, but my frustration at not being able to easily perform such basic tasks is increasing.

Am I missing anything or are all the existing operating systems for in the really limited to
1.
2.
3.
4. /Fairphone
(Which are all open source & privacy respecting but are/work with phones that aren't anywhere near rugged standards.)

5.
6. with google
7.
8. /apple
9.
(Which are all virtual monopoly parts, government partners & thusly fascist entities, who love spying on their users, that have rugged smartphone options.)

?

As in my tech updates I'm still looking for an open source operating system that can work on a smartphone (cases available for the flimsily designed hardware don't count as the device itself being rugged).

Accessible Youtube Downloader Pro stopped working properly a few days ago. Can anyone recommend anything that works with NVDA? I would prefer a client, but I have also used various youtube to mp3 sites in the past. I would prefer something that lets me set the bitrate to 128kbps or that defaults to it.

Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies.

What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules?

The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage.

Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand.

You are here. That makes you unique. You have made a good choice to take a step away from Big Tech. Now, get more people to join us. Help them with the initial process of setting things up.

If you have not done so already, download an alternative browser, such as Vivaldi as well. Consider whether you can move away from other Big Tech services. At Vivaldi, for example, we use Whereby for video conferences. Many of us have moved to Linux. Many of us use LibreOffice, instead of Microsoft office. There are options if you look for them. It is easy to go with Big Tech, but if you think the world would be better without them or if they had less power, know that you can make a difference.

Spent the last 6 hours trying to get a hello world equivalent gui window with a button on rust under windows.

This task which one might think is simple ended up taking literal hours and still hasn't been achieved because: the tutorials for gtk on windows and rust suggest putting msys2 bin directory on the path. This causes rust to fail to build correctly because it uses the wrong gcc and linkers.
Afterwards I managed it by using the appropriate environment variables.
But then I found out the dynamically linked libarries weren't found. I tried getting a way to copy them but it turned out to be too much work so I just moved the executable to the same dir.
Only to find out that gtk4 has no accessibility on Windows. Not bad accessibility, not accessibility that needs to be turned on. No. Accessibility. At all.
So then I decided to try Qt, which wants me to create an account to get an installer. Absolute no.
Got the 1.5gb sources and trying now to get an off-line installer out of it.

To get a fucking window with a button in it.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to say this state of affairs is complete bullshit, and that most people with a normal level of motivation would have found plenty of opportunities to have given up. I still might.

(Not using NWG because tying the data to the GUI elements is non-trivial, it seems to require copying a lot and using twice the memory.)

Windows C++ devs:

My main project is a Python + Qt GUI application. Distributing that as-is on Linux is easy. On Windows, a little trickier.

What I do now is distribute it with Python embeddable and pure Python code. That's fine, but it makes the launching a little tricky.

I'm currently trying to create a trivial C++ exec that just launches the correct files via CreateProcess().

Does this sound like a good idea? Code linked below.

During my time at Opera and now at Vivaldi, we have made a lot of browsers. I asked you which ones you had tried and you really had tried a lot of them:

There are likely quite a few you have not tried, though. Some of the others we made include:

- Opera on a Fax machine (really!).
- Opera on a fridge.
- Opera for airplane infotainment systems.
- Opera on Tivo (for menus).
- Opera on various TVs and DVD players (for menus mostly).

Now my focus is on Vivaldi and we will continue to add stuff you like. Enjoy!

Has anyone ever had this issue with NVMe SSDs?

"A device which does not exist was specified."

Is this a hardware defect? The drive (PNY CS3140 1TB) is only about 5 weeks old. It seems to fix itself after a couple of reboots, but it's very annoying. Linux doesn't seem to have any issues with it yet.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.

This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

This may be old news, but I just heard that there will be paid extended support of Windows 10 once it goes end of life this October, even for private customers.

Do you think people will do that or will they blindly switch to Windows 11?

The Fediverse is unique.

My survey asked what your favorite search engine is.

51% said DuckDuckGo, 12% Startpage, 9% Ecosia and 4% Qwant. Only 6% said Google and 1% Bing. 17% said they preferred another search engine, with many mentioning Kagi and Mojeek.

This is quite different from what the market share out there is, which shows how unique you all are here in the Fediverse. You make your own choices and do not follow everyone else. Be proud.

Mouse Gestures

One the many popular features in Vivaldi is mouse gestures. Have you tried them?

You need to enable mouse gestures in settings. They work using the mouse and through another setting, you make them work on the trackpad as well (using ALT).

Our goal is to adapt to your needs as a user of Vivaldi and this is part of it.

Launching today, Vivaldi is a proud participant in the Browser Choice Alliance!

BCA is an informal alliance of browser makers who are all prevented from competing fairly on Windows PCs, because Microsoft self-preferences its own Edge browser.

From @jon:
“For a long time, Vivaldi has publicly called out Microsoft for its dirty tricks to undermine consumer choice. Independent browsers like us simply cannot compete fairly with Edge when it is so heavily preferenced in Windows. Regulators need to intervene urgently.”

My survey showed that most users are not happy with the browser that comes with their computers. If you are using one of those browsers, how about trying something new?

Does your browser have workspaces? Tab stacks? Tab tiles? Windows panel? Page capture? Sync? Custom themes with custom buttons? Web panels? Mouse gestures? Editable keyboard shortcuts?

Want to try a browser that has all of the above and more?

Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.

It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.

Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.

Opera gets just 1%.

Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.

The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.

If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.

If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

Hello. This is my .

I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.

I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.

Based on my little survey, 81% believe search has become worse with the introduction of AI.

Do the search engine makers care or will they continue in the same direction?

IMHO, if you want to show something as the definite answer to a question, it better be right and not some AI generated stuff.

The goal for search should be to have the best possible search results. Typically AI generated stuff is not that. You would like the original information and not a rehash.

Microsoft enabled the notorious "Recall" with the last update (for Windows 11 only). It's part of the OS and can't be uninstalled. This software stores metadata about EVERYTHING that appears on your screen, including passwords/urls/images/videos/any messages you send or emails etc

To disable this gross spyware, run the following as admin on the command line:

Dism /Online /Disable-Feature
/Featurename:Recall

What we are not is:

3. An ad company.

New platform to play on!

Desktop Kittens have come leaping into Windows, running rampant on your computer, distracting you from all the UI stuff in Windows you've come to hate.

Advertisements got you down? Start menu annoyingly in the middle of the screen? CoPilot creepily tracking everything you do? Who cares!? There's kitties on your desktop, playing and having fun.

ARM and x86 support!

Use the extra performance features of your AI enhanced Windows ARM laptops for kitties instead of glorified random word generators. They are much more adorable than suggestions to eat poison mushrooms or mismanaging your private data.

It's a new home, they might need help adjusting

Let me know if there's some show stopping bugs or weirdness.

No, this is no a new CAPTCHA, this is a new malware vector which tricks users to open #Windows command line and paste a command to download some harmful stuff.

And now for the last item and the highlight of the whole lot:

/286 v2.11 Retail

Box is in very nice condition, contents are like new (the 5.25" disk set e.g. is still sealed).

Funny thing - this is the ONLY boxed retail copy of any version of Windows I own so far. All others I own are either OEM or newer versions in a DVD keep case. 😅

This is a personal account, but since 2017 I've been working at as a writer and occasional host. I'm most well-known for and / content, but my interests can be very broad - Especially with stuff I know nothing about!

Tech can be fun and tech can be a tool, and to that end, I advocate using (and breaking) every platform and learning about the days of computers past. Between work and home, I currently daily drive and in roughly equal measure.

I was a kid, so that probably had something to do with that philosophy... And my fondness for FM synth.

Does anyone have any experience making a bootable win10 installer on a usb stick? I used Ventoy (on Linux) to load a win10 iso (I have a license), but on a Thinkpad t510 with a 500GB SSD, the installer keeps saying ‘cannot install on the hard drive’. I used diskpart to partition my ssd as MBR, NTFS in a single volume. Windows setup can see it, but won’t let me install on it

This demonstrates a thing that I’m sure serious security pros (and their adversaries) have long known: These Windows security products are a highly attractive attack surface for serious professional Bad Guys. They run in God mode and are typically purchased by IT-management types via the “enterprise software sales” process. (Think: golf.)

I wonder how many of them are already deeply compromised? I am certain that the number is not zero.

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.

We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.

We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.

So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:

  • we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
  • we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
  • all our PC games would run
  • we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software

... where the heck would we even start?

Edit: Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!

Windows, Microsoft clamping down.

So, you probably know that I like the idea of Linux, but is it just me being a fanboy?
No, not at all.
As time progresses, I am constantly seeing Microsoft doing things that have never been and never will be user focused.
So, I'll shut up and explain the latest dilemmas, first and foremost, devices with unsupported hardware won't be able to install 11 anymore, even through unconventional methods.
Secondly, Microsoft is now using aggressive tactics to block customisation software, fancy that old start menu or task manager? tough! Not only will ms block the app and currently you'll get smacked with a black screen. This is all in the latest Windows insider, which will come out as 24h2.

So no, I am not a fanboy, the accessibility cannot be compared to I am left with a hard question.
Do I compromise control for less accessibility or more accessibility for no control.
I invite everyone who reads this to consider that question. The other question I have, how much will it take before people get tired of ms? Where do people actually draw the line and stop putting it down to Microsoft being corporates?

belated #Introduction

I've been enjoying infosec.exchange for the last month or so but have been putting off an because I'm awkward and anxious ( am I right?). I feel more comfortable talking about my cat than myself or my work on social media, so you'll probably mostly see him amongst my boosts and replies. He's a little hacker who tricks me into FaceID unlocking my iPad for him or hides my pouch of physical security keys to remind me not to be careless with them.

See how I just went on about the cat? Yeah... I feel imposter syndrome about belonging in . I'm an IT and focused () whose been fascinated/working with computers since I was 3, and have been doing it professionally for over 10 years now. Does that make me ? I honestly don't know. I love this community though and want to make an effort to share what I do know more often besides the cat pics or conversations or boosting and news I think to share.

If I had to sum up in a few hashtags and such, I know securing and best but I use/protect and if you'll forgive me for using there too. I love and , the and and we share, and stuff, and , and reading/writing reports just as much as code. I'm not super passionate about the but that's not a hill I'd die on and is pretty cool.

Did I mention I have one of the best ever?

Anyway, "it's me, hi!"
