Open Source@lemmy.ml•Axios JavaScript library has been compromised with malware in supply chain attack
10·13 days agoI was trying to figure out why people still use Axios, when the built-in
fetchworks just fine. Is it because people are still sending XML requests?

9·15 days agoNah we mostly followed the roads. I was accompanying a wheelchair user so it was best to avoid going in and out of the road.

28·15 days agoI was there today, it was a blast, everybody was super friendly.
If you didn’t get a chance to come this time, you should come to the far-right counter protest on the 16th of May!

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Paying without Google: New consortium wants to remove custom ROM hurdles creating an open source alternative to Google Play Integrity
10·27 days agoI agree it would be good to have third party integrity checks to not require Google Services etc. as part of the chain.
In GrapheneOS, many Google Play integrity check pass, but payments still do not work. You are notified when an app uses the integrity API, but probably only because they have spent a bunch of work sandboxing Play Services. This is what you see when you look at those details:

I guess the obvious problem is that so many apps rely on Google Services, such as for payments, opening the store, checking for integrity etc. On stock android, you can’t pick and choose these services separately or use third party ones, unlike using a third party keyboard, for example. Everything is one big proprietary, data guzzling lump.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•300 million on the streets in a historic national strike in India
1·28 days agoOne of the major demands of the strike was the withdrawal of the trade deals India has recently agreed to with the US and the EU. The CTUs, SKM, and left parties in India have called the deals a surrender of the country’s sovereignty and harmful to the interests of the millions of farmers in the country as they allow open access of Indian markets to foreign farm products.
As someone not from India I think I must be missing context. It sounds like they would like India to remain a semi-closed market, as I have heard it has been for a very long time.
Usually trade deals are a viewed aa good thing, at least in the west. Of course, you can have situations where contries assets are owned and controlled by foreign entities while lining the pockets of politicians, which is bad. Not sure if that’s the concern.
Anyone want to add some context?

Technology@lemmy.world•The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No RicherEnglish
105·29 days agoLet me guess:
It’s because all the money goes to billionaires.
Edit: Pretty much what it says. It’s more detailed than that but yeah. Labourers get less, more value is attributed to capital (buildings, land) and collected by the rich.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Aurora ICE detainees are malnourished and forced to work, advocates report
3·1 month agoPrison labour exploitation was already bad in the US before, when you actually had to be convicted of a crime to participate. Now we just have force labour camps for people who just happened to be born with the wrong genes.
Sounds awfully familiar.
When are the allies going to invade the US and free those under their tyrannical regime? When will the US get sanctioned? (Hint: never)

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for an open-source screen reader alternative to Windows Narrator that is AI-powered and has a more human voice.
4·1 month agoThe one I hear is good is NVDA by NVAccess, but it doesn’t have AI.
Website: https://www.nvaccess.org/about-nvda/
Source code: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda
I would be fairly surprised if you found an open source screen reader that had AI built-in.
It would likely have to run locally if it was open source.
Typically companies don’t make their stuff open source, and non-profits are unlikely to host an AI for you because of the cost. It’s unlikely to run locally as the cost for that model to run and download size may make it unusable or impractical for some hardware. Typically screen readers need to be accessible to everyone, and therefore need to run on very old and / or cheap hardware.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Trans activists say restoring traditional Pride flag at Stonewall isn’t enough
2·2 months agoThe trans activists are right, to be fair.
The only ones actively using the old pride flag are either people who don’t know any better or trans-exclusionary groups such as the LGB alliance.
We can do better, so we should.
