Apple’s about to be hit with new EU penalty, but it’s been delayed for now - 9to5Mac in c/europe@feddit.org

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.

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.

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.

I wonder why isn't Friendica more popular by now.

It's not about "Nerd Standards", it's about the fact there are reasons to not deem Mozilla so trustworthy anymore: https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-firefox-i-loved-is-gone-how-to-protect-your-privacy-on-it-now/ (I am linking the article for the facts it points out; in the author's place, I wouldn't recommend Brave either).

Comprehensive guide to EU email providers? (lemm.ee)
 

Hey, is there any exhaustive guide to EU-based email providers that breaks down not only which ones have free tier, but also which ones allow multiple accounts and verification by email only? To my horror, I've found out days after switching my multiple email accounts from Gmail to another email provider that the latter explicitly forbid multiple accounts, unlike Gmail, something which was buried in fine print.

Importing Facebook posts into Mastodon or Friendica? (lemm.ee)
 

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...
