This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?

This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.

gregkh,

@vegard @kernellogger "a team of engineers" COULD do that (hint, Android does, by just taking the stable updates), but the paper shows that a specific "team of engineers" currently does NOT do that, which puts the users of those kernels potentially at a greater risk.

Read the paper, it's interesting.

Disclosure, I read it before it was published, but had no influence on it at all.

@kernellogger as usual, the point is not that these are bug free, but that they are regression free. The kernel upstream releases break userspace on every new release, and kernel maintainers don't care. See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a1912f712188291f9d7d434fba155461f1ebef66 for example, as Daan just found out, which removed a mount option without caring that it is still being used, so since 6.8 every btrfs device can no longer be mounted by systemd

Is there a #linux command that can do timezone conversion on timestamps? Ideally through a pipe?

I want to convert syslogs in UTC to localtime (based on $TZ env).

cat /var/log/syslog | tz2local

@phs @cafuego Oh yeah, [0] would be sufficient; I had changed it because the ISO format I was using separated the space with a space rather than T.

@phs @cafuego Here ya go:

#!/usr/bin/env python  
import datetime, os, sys  
for line in sys.stdin:  
 line=line.strip().split(' ')  
 print(datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(line[0]).astimezone(), ' '.join(line[1:]))

Wie kann ich in /etc/network/interfaces in es einstellen, dass auf allen Interfaces gemacht wird, auch wenn ich jetzt noch nicht weiß, wie das Interface in Zukunft heißen wird?

Jetzt steht da halt:
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp

Aber auf einer anderen Hardware heißt das Ding ja vielleicht eth0 statt enp1s0...

Also was tun?
Brauch ich ein Startupscript, dass die Config generiert?

@SomeGadgetGuy ChromeOS doesn't really sound #deGoogled 🤔

@shaedrich No no. Not use Chrome. Install linux on it instead.

@adamsdesk This is actually fantastic, I'm relatively new to git and have been just randomly opening files in .git till I found the origin URL. Also thank you for providing a fish function too!

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we want to recognize the work being done on accessibility by @matt as part of the @gnome Foundation. He is the lead for @accesskit and is currently working on Newton, a Wayland-oriented solution for assistive technologies that can modernize accessibility on the Linux desktop!
