For non-health reasons, I have used in the past now and then the magnifier and the text-to-speech assistant in Windows and had noticed they did not always work with all sites and apps and also the apps themselves had a significant negative impact on the OS performance. I haven't tried these things on Mint Linux yet, but I would've thought hard to believe Linux is somehow even worse than Windows when it comes to accessibility. Also, that makes me feel like even this limited accessibility only exists for the sake of legal compliance... Ableism is a huge problem and, yeah, able people should be more woke about it.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation.

Opportunism indeed. Maybe he's thinking France needs any potential business allies in the future now that the US might be gone out of the picture, although the reconstruction of Haiti and building a consumption-happy middle-class there would take long time... If that's the case, it might be bound to remain a pale attempt compared to China showering investments into African and Asian infrastructure.

Far-right imperialist governments are ushering in right now across Europe despite the scarcity of, as you say, leftist policies... Maybe it's because it's not about horseshoe theory, opposites attract and all that, so much as: capitalists strip away the democratic facade whenever their infinite growth model hits limits and so they try to cut corners, decrease regulation - Trump's latest deregulations are a striking example of that.

You are asking if encryption is enabled on the side of my client? Well, I see Allow key storage is enabled, I haven't touched it, it's the default. Disabling it would enable me to read message history or not? (I am not concerned for now with extra security.)

I've joined the room from another server, but messages posted before me are displayed as "You don't have access to this message". Is this a normal feature of Matrix, a peculiar feature of the server, or a bug? (I'm very new to Matrix and Element)

Europe is running the risk of falling even further behind global digital market leaders like the United States and China. The EuroStack initiative aims to counter this trend by developing Europe's own comprehensive digital infrastructure. This industrial policy framework integrates technology, financing, economic development, political governance, sustainability and public interest considerations. An analysis by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, led by innovation economist Francesca Bria and an international team of experts, estimates that this transformation will take roughly a decade and require investments of around €300 billion.

soon. But once the world runs out of oil, the climate is decimated, and population comes crashing down because of restrictive immigration laws, there will be a sharp curve to the left and pro-EU that could lead to more interest in federation.

Or

This. Also, throw in the mix a backlash against nationalists abusing the cultural power void that might appear if both the US and the UK are collapsing - including the media industries -, the soft power of English declines, and instead of mass adoption of Mandarin in the stead of English we might try again Esperanto (which might not be the perfect universal language, but it could be perfect for Europeans).

Explain please? I’m uncertain about the heart of where you’re coming from

Globalism is such a weasel word. Esperanto-speaking cosmopolitans and tax-dodging capitalists are usually not the same. Then again, the far-right demonized even Esperanto back in the past century and might do it again if people took it seriously.

Check out rule #4. The server is based in Germany.

Android and Linux

Some of the issues with accessibility in Linux seem to come down to FOSS developers not willing to take an extra mile complying with accessibility standards, others have to do with how the big corporations have much more resources for it. Sadly, that seems to be the situation - I am surprised myself to learn there's much to be improved in this department.

 

Ok, this might be a dumb question, but is it really technically possible in any way - even a convoluted one, like manually downloading HTML pages from Facebook? - to mass import posts from one's Facebook into Mastodon or Friendica instead of painstakingly copying them one by one? I've got a 10+ year archive to port and it's a daunting task to go through them...
