I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.

grep is a very important command. grep is considered complex by many for no well funded reason.

Why this bold statement?

There are not only man pages available, for all POSIX Operating Systems, but also very good tutorials, even in de Linux documentation project.

Don't think that you'll be able to learn high level grepping in just two, to five minutes. grep is a tool great at doing one thing in a great manner, pure Unix wise.

However

ls -R ~/your_dir | grep string

Die nahe Zukunft erscheint als Cyberpunk-Dystopie, nur ohne die coole Ästhetik sondern im Grauen Überwachungskapitalismus des Spätanthropozäns.

Überlegen wir uns lieber bessere Ideen wie wir leben wollen und wie wir diese Ideen umsetzen können, anstatt so etwas abzuwarten.

"Forscher:innen aus Italien ist es gelungen, Menschen in WLAN-Feldern biometrisch zu identifizieren – und das auch, wenn diese keine Gadgets wie ein Smartphone bei sich hatten. Das eigens entwickelte System Whofi hat eine Trefferquote von 95,5 Prozent.

Die feinen Veränderungen, die menschliche Körper verursachen, wenn sie WLAN-Signale durchqueren erwiesen sich laut den Forscher:innen als so individuell, dass damit einzelne Personen identifiziert werden konnten. Ein neuronales Netzwerk war dann in der Lage, ein personenspezifisches Profil aus den vorhandenen Daten zu erstellen – und die Signaturen mit vorhandenen Personenprofilen zu vergleichen.

[...]

Ob und wann Whofi in entsprechenden Sicherheits- oder Smarthome-Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommt, ist unklar. Klar ist derweil, dass künftig ein Verzicht auf Smartphone und Co nicht mehr vor der Erstellung eines Bewegungsprofils schützen dürfte."

Das neue polizeiliche KI-Überwachungssystem soll Gewalttaten schneller erkennen. Dafür muss es beispielsweise Faustschläge von normalen Armbewegungen unterscheiden können.

Das lernt die KI laut der Polizei aber nur mithilfe von Aufzeichnungen echter Menschen. Die sollen von den Kameras am Hansaplatz und Hachmannplatz kommen. Jetzt hat die Polizei NDR 90,3 auf Anfrage mitgeteilt, dass die KI ab Anfang September mit den Aufnahmen gefüttert werden soll...."

Neben Elon Musk, seinem Mitgründer #PeterThiel und Sam Altman gilt der CEO von Palantir als einer der bedeutendsten Digital Leader. Wie sie profitiert Alex Karp von der Wahl Donald Trumps zum Präsidenten der USA. Doch hierzulande ist er noch recht unbekannt – und das obwohl auch deutsche Polizeibehörden mit der Palantir-Software “Gotham” arbeiten: Das erfolgreiche und gleichzeitig umstrittene Datenanalyse-Programm ist darauf spezialisiert, große Mengen an Daten zu bündeln und zu visualisieren, mit dem Ziel der Informationsgewinnung und Überwachung. “Gotham” kann über digitale Datenanalysen weltweit Profile einzelner Menschen erstellen.

The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:

- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality

We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser

- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration

Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.

On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:

- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI

You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.

We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

Hard to believe, but apparently some good stories can be told even without me. I guess I'm not the conditio sine qua nonfor a great conversation... a good guest is, and Sean Martin, CISSP can certainly hold the wheel.

I wasn't available, and I missed this one but I'm more than happy to help spread the word about yet another fantastic Brand Story told via Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine. This one's worth your attention.

Julian Hamood from TrustedTech joins Sean to talk about something most organizations are getting dangerously wrong: #AI readiness.

Here's the uncomfortable truth—AI doesn't clean up your mess. It makes it louder. Faster. More confident-sounding. And potentially more damaging.

Data scattered across personal drives, legacy servers, and random SharePoint sites? AI will find it.

Inconsistent permissions nobody remembers setting up? AI will exploit them. Architectural spaghetti connecting clouds, on-prem systems, and #SaaS platforms that were never meant to talk to each other? AI will inherit every flaw and present the results with the certainty of an oracle.

This conversation digs into what real readiness looks like—data classification, access controls, architectural clarity, and governance that doesn't get bypassed because someone in sales wanted a shiny new copilot.

Watch. Listen. Think before you deploy.

I'm going to try and stop watching short-form content online.

I gave up watching tiktok a number of months ago, and now it's time for Reels and YouTube Shorts to go as well.

I have a theory that they trigger the same areas of the brain that gambling lights up.. and it's not so much about the watching, but about swiping to see if you ✨win✨ by finding something fun. I noticed that I'd be watching something I was enjoying and just swipe anyways to see if the next clip was ✨better✨, which feels like classic gambling behaviours.

This weekend, I tried out TalkBack 16.2. And rather than rant about the one step forward and a good 3 steps back it took in Braille support, or how it can't take an actual screenshot and describe the screen unless there's one accessible element onscreen it can grab on to, or any of the other stuff I routinely rant about, today, I'll just say thank goodness for the iPhone.

I'm so glad I didn't sell or give away my iPhone 16 or Apple Watch. I'm so glad I got the AirPods Pro 3. I'm so glad it's evident that at least a few blind people work at Apple and are listened to at least when it comes to their most popular product, the iPhone. I'm so, freaking, glad that Apple at least keeps the lights on for Braille on their platforms. And I'm so glad screen recognition is a thing so when I'm playing a video game, I can have the menu read out even though there is no accessible element on the screen. I'm so glad that with AirPods, Voiceover isn't too sluggish and that you can't really tell that, when you swipe passed the visible end of a list, like the settings app, VoiceOver scrolls the screen for you. I'm so glad that at least that bit of magic is still there. You don't *have* to know these things. In Braille, it *feels* like a Braille-first interface, as far as we've made one in the past 30 years. And when VoiceOver gets AI image descriptions, I'll be thankful for those too. In the meantime, hey Siri, describe my screen. I'm so glad that I can almost always keep my iPhone in my pocket and just use Braille. I'm glad I can type my passcode in Braille and it just works! I'm so glad I can read a book and it pans to the next page. I'm so glad I can bind just about any VoiceOver command to arbitrary Braille keys. If I want dots 1-3 with Enter to go to next link, I can make it do so! If I want Space with Enter with O to open the Braille Access app chooser, there it is! Oh also I can press Command, Option, Control, FN, and Shift modifier keys with Braille commands. Just sayin'. At this point, iOS with Braille would be a way more blind-friendly OS than Android. And I think we should make this more clear: Braille-friendly is blind-friendly. Because if your interface is flexible enough to work with Braille, it'll be flexible enough to work with speech.

TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.

In the period where the following commands were valid

ATX3DT
ATA

Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.

The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

Every computer operates the same way internally: it converts your actions into data, follows instructions step by step, and transforms that data back into visual or auditory results. From clicks to calculations, everything involves numbers moving at incredible speed. Ultimately, this occurs as binary (0s and 1s) information via electrical signals and transistors. #computer #tech #Technology #PC
