More Command line fun: downloading a podcast In the show hpr4398 :: Command line fun: downloading a podcast Kevie walked us through a command to download a podcast. He used some techniques here that I hadn't used before, and it's always great to see how other people approach the problem. Let's have a look at the script and walk through what it does, then we'll have a look at some "traps for young players" as the EEVBlog is fond of saying. Analysis of the Script wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | head -1` It chains four different commands together to "Save the latest file from a feed". Let's break it down so we can have checkpoints between each step. I often do this when writing a complex one liner - first do it as steps, and then combine it. The curl command gets https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ . To do this ourselves we will call curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ --output tuxjam.xml , as the default file name is index.html. This gives us a xml file, and we can confirm it's valid xml with the xmllint command. $ xmllint --format tuxjam.xml >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 Here the output of the command is ignored by redirecting it to /dev/null Then we check the error code the last command had. As it's 0 it completed sucessfully. Kevie then passes the output to the grep search command with the option -o and then looks for any string starting with https followed by anything then followed by two forward slashes, then -o, --only-matching Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line We can do the same with. I was not aware that grep defaulted to regex, as I tend to add the --perl-regexp to explicitly add it. grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml http matches the characters http literally (case sensitive) s* matches the character s literally (case sensitive) Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] : matches the character : literally / matches the character / literally / matches the character / literally [^"]* match a single character not present in the list below Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] " a single character in the list " literally (case sensitive) ogg matches the characters ogg literally (case sensitive) When we run this ourselves we get the following $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg The last command returns the first line, so therefore https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg Finally that line is used as the input to the wget command. Problems with the approach Relying on grep with structured data like xml or json can lead to problems. When we looked at the output of the command in step 2, some of the results gave https://ogg . When run the same command without the --only-matching argument we see what was matched. $ grep 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml This episode may not be live as in TuxJam 115 from Oggcamp but your friendly foursome of Al, Dave (thelovebug), Kevie and Andrew (mcnalu) are very much alive to treats of Free and Open Source Software and Creative Commons tunes. https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/ https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respond https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/feed/ With the group meeting up together for the first time in person, it was decided that a live recording would be an appropriate venture. With the quartet squashed around a table and a group of adoring fans crowded into a room at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester, the discussion turns to TuxJam reviews that become regularly used applications, what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 and for the third section the gang put their reputation on the line and allow open questions from the sea of dedicated fans. OggCamp 2024 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2024, Manchester UK. Two of the hits are not enclosures at all, they are references in the text to OggCamp what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 Normally running grep will only get one entry per line, and if the xml is minimised it can miss entries on a file that comes across as one big line. I did this myself using xmllint --noblanks tuxjam.xml > tuxjam-min.xml I then edited it and replaced the new lines with spaces. I have to say that the --only-matching argument is doing a great job at pulling out the matches. That said the results were not perfect either. $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam-min.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=1029https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respondhttps://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg You could fix it by modifying the grep arguments and add additional searches looking for enclosure . The problem with that approach is that you'll forever and a day be chasing issues when someone changes something. So the approach is officially "Grand", but it's a very likely to break if you're not babysitting it. Suggested Applications. I recommend never parsing structured documents , like xml or json with grep. You should use dedicated parsers that understands the document markup, and can intelligently address parts of it. I recommend: xml use xmlstarlet json use jq yaml use yq Of course anyone that looks at my code on the hpr gittea will know this is a case of "do what I say, not what I do." Never parse xml with grep, where the only possible exception is to see if a string is in a file in the first place. grep --max-count=1 --files-with-matches That's justified under the fact that grep is going to be faster than having to parse, and build a XML Document Object Model when you don't have to. Some Tips Always refer to examples and specification A specification is just a set of rules that tell you how the document is formatted. There is a danger in just looking at example files, and not reading the specifications. I had a situation once where a software developer raised a bug as the files didn't begin with ken-test- followed by a uuid . They were surprised when the supplied files did not follow this convention as per the examples. Suffice to say that was rejected. For us there are the rules from the RSS specification itself, but as it's a XML file there are XML Specifications . While the RSS spec is short, the XML is not, so people tend to use dedicated libraries to parse XML. Using a dedicated tool like xmlstarlet will allow us to mostly ignore the details of XML. RSS is a dialect of XML . All RSS files must conform to the XML 1.0 specification, as published on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website. The first line of the tuxjam feed shows it's an XML file. The specification goes on to say "At the top level, a RSS document is a element, with a mandatory attribute called version, that specifies the version of RSS that the document conforms to. If it conforms to this specification, the version attribute must be 2.0." And sure enough then the second line show that it's a RSS file.

In this episode of Environment Variables, host Chris Adams dives into the evolving landscape of sustainable web development with Alexander Dawson and Tzviya Siegman from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Dawson and Siegman discuss the W3C's efforts to develop Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG), a comprehensive set of evidence-based practices aimed at reducing the environmental impact of web technologies. They explore the creation and potential impact of these guidelines, especially as global interest grows in embedding sustainable practices within web standards. The episode also covers the challenges of driving adoption across public and private sectors, the role of testability in sustainability guidelines, and future directions for standards that minimize digital carbon footprints. This engaging conversation provides listeners with insights into how W3C's sustainability initiatives could shape the future of the web.

Building a Good Web doesn’t just mean making the current Internet a nicer place, but making an Internet that everyone can use. This week Lola Odelola (Lola’s Lab, formerly of Bocoup) joins the Good Web series to talk about the fundamentals of web accessibility and the fascinating process the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) uses […]

So in episode 353 we said bye bye to David Waumsley. Well, now is the time to own up to the fact that David is not in fact going away! In my defence, David is moving away from the WP Builds podcast, as he's really no longer making much use of WordPress, but he's still in the website building profession. He's decided that he wants to make website without a framework, and therefore he's going to be working from with HTML and CSS and trying to follow along with the guidelines the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) lay out for us all to follow. With that in mind, no sooner had David stepped away from WP Builds, well, he was back in my inbox asking if I'd like to create an entirely new podcast with him about this 'new' (old?) approach of his to website building. Having loved every minute of the past seven years of content creation with David, I jumped at the chance, and so a new show was born, and we're calling it the 'No Script Show'. You can find it at noscript.show. So for the next six episodes which would have normally been myself and David, it's still going to be myself and David. Hopefully you'll get an understanding of what we're, and you never know, some of you might even subscribe to the show as well. After six weeks of this format, we'll go back to just WP Builds content, week after week. So here it is then... episode 1 of the No Script Show. I hope that you enjoy it.

Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee (born 8 June 1955), also known as TimBL, is an English computer scientist best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP. He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Berners-Lee proposed an information management system on 12 March 1989 and implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November. He devised and implemented the first Web browser and Web server, and helped foster the Web's subsequent explosive development. He is the founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web. He co-founded (with Rosemary Leith) the World Wide Web Foundation. In April 2009, he was elected as Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences. Berners-Lee is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founder's chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence. In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe. In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. He received the 2016 Turing Award "for inventing the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale". He was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century and has received a number of other accolades for his invention.

What if you could get sued if your website is not low-carbon enough? What if you would be barred from many call for tenders if your digital services don't hit minimum sustainability requirements? Science-fiction? This is what people said on 5 May 1999 when the first version ever of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines was released by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). 20 years later, these pitfalls are day-to-day concerns for many digital companies and digital service providers. On August 31st this year, the W3C released its first ever Sustainability Guidelines (draft version). Ines Akrape and Lukas Mastalerz, two of its core contributors, share insider insights in this episode on how it will impact the way of working for millions of web developers, designers, ops and data folks. And why we will certainly not wait 20 years for this to happen… ❤️ Subscribe, follow, like, ... stay connected the way you want to never miss an episode!

Meta : How to Integrate Your Brand with Threads - Social media app Threads, Meta's new Twitter alternative, has seen a nearly 70% decline in the number of daily active users since its July 7 peak, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, spoiling their explosive launch just two weeks ago and paling in comparison to Twitter. Now Meta is providing guidance to brands on how to integrate with Threads, its ephemeral messaging app for teenagers. The guidance includes tips on how to create "epic entrances," engage followers, and run challenges or contests.Meta suggests that brands make a grand entrance on Threads by combining images, memes, and open-ended questions to announce their arrival. They should also engage followers by creating interactive content, such as polls or quizzes. Additionally, brands can run challenges or contests to encourage users to create and share content on Threads.The guidance also emphasizes the importance of using puns and talking about Threads in order to promote the app. Finally, Meta suggests that brands explore Threads' existing tools, such as stickers and GIFs, to create engaging content.4. 30 New Ecommerce Metrics in GA4: Get More Insights into Your Shopping Performance - Google Analytics 4 (GA4) has just announced an expansion of its ecommerce measurement capabilities, adding 30 new dimensions and metrics. These new metrics provide more granular data on items, promotions, and shopping behavior, making it easier for marketers to track and analyze their ecommerce performance.Some of the new metrics include: Item Name: The name of the product that was purchased. Brand: The brand of the product that was purchased. Category: The category of the product that was purchased. Promotion Name: The name of the promotion that was used to purchase the product. Checkout Step: The step in the checkout process where the purchase was made. Gross item revenue (The total revenue from items only, excluding tax and shipping) Gross purchase revenue (The total revenue from purchases made on your website or app) Refund amount (The total amount from refunds given on your website or app) These new metrics can be used to answer questions such as: What are the most popular products? What brands are performing well? What promotions are driving sales? Which checkout steps are causing the most abandonment? The addition of these new metrics is a significant boost for ecommerce marketers, providing them with more data to track and analyze their performance. These changes to GA4 make it easier to see meaningful ecommerce data. Marketers will no longer have to build custom reports to access key revenue metrics.5. Google Updates Misrepresentation Policy: What You Need to Know - Google has updated its Misrepresentation policy with detailed information on how marketers can build trust. The document advises what steps and precautions brands should take to make sure their products and offers are eligible to be served in Search.The updated policy includes new requirements for brands to provide clear and transparent information about their products and offers. This includes information about the product's availability, pricing, and shipping. Brands are also required to provide accurate and up-to-date information about their reviews and testimonials. For each issue specified, Google provided specific instructions that brands should follow: Business Identity Ensure that the official business name is provided and that there is consistency across the registered business name and domain name. Make sure a brand's website features an ‘About Us' page as this establishes authenticity and helps customers to understand their unique journey. Link out to the brand's social media profiles from the website so that customers can follow those accounts should they so wish. Transparency Make sure website content and messaging is completely clear and include details regarding shipping, returns and privacy policies. Ensure honesty and transparency about the brand's business model and how the company operates. Online reputation Display honest reviews and testimonials about a brand's products and services to help customers understand how to use them. Feature any badges or seals of approval from official third-party sources. Clearly display how customers can get in touch. Be sure to tell customers if the brand publishes a blog post. Make sure customers know if the brand was mentioned in a third-party article. Professional design Make sure that the brand's website has an SSL certificate to reassure customers that their sensitive data is stored securely. The brand's website should be easy to navigate and shouldn't contain any unnecessary redirects or redirects to broken links. Try to avoid placeholders where possible as this gives Google and the customer the impression that the website is still under construction and not yet ready for SERPs. Google explained that there are several steps brands can take to help it to understand their business faster and more accurately: Create and verify a Google Business Profile. Share up-to-date information in the Merchant Center under the Business information settings. Link relevant third-party platforms to Merchant Center. Follow Google's SEO guidelines to ensure a strong customer experience is provided. Opt into the Google Customer Reviews or other third-party review services to improve eligibility for seller ratings. Match product data in the product feed with your website to make sure that customers are seeing the same information across both platforms. Google is also taking steps to crack down on misrepresentation in the Merchant Center. Merchants who violate the policy may have their products removed from Google Search and Shopping results.Read Google's “Building Trust with your Customers” guide for more information on its Misrepresentation policy.6. Avoid Spam Risks with Your Domain Name - Google advises against choosing cheap top-level domains (TLDs), such as .xyz or .club, due to the increased risk of spam. These domains are often used by spammers because they are inexpensive and easy to register.Google's Search Relations Team (John Mueller, Gary Illyes, and Martin Splitt) in the Jul 20, 2023 podcast episode recommended that website owners choose TLDs that are well-known and reputable. They also suggest considering branding and marketing factors, not just SEO, when choosing a TLD.Google's Search Relations team debunked the misconception that having a TLD matching your keywords provides an inherent SEO advantage. When Splitt asked if owning a domain like fantastic.coffee could offer any SEO benefits for a coffee shop, Illyes responded with a definitive “No.”For more on website domain best practices, check out the full episode of Google's podcast.P.S: I covered this is Episode 163. Now Google is talking about the same issue. 7. Your Domain Name Matters: Don't Forget the Branding - Another update from the latest episode of Google's Search Off The Record podcast. Google's John Mueller has advised that domain name selection should prioritize long-term branding over keyword-centric SEO strategies. Keywords in domain names do not impact Google search rankings, but they can influence user behavior. Therefore, it is more important to choose a domain name that is memorable and easy to type, even if it does not contain any keywords.Here are some additional tips from Mueller for choosing a domain name: Choose a domain name that is easy to pronounce and remember. Avoid using hyphens or numbers in your domain name. Keep your domain name short and concise. Make sure your domain name is available in all relevant top-level domains (TLDs). 8. 301 vs. 404: Which is Better for SEO? -  When a web page is deleted or moved, it can be redirected to a new page using a 301 or 404 status code. Google's Gary Illyes answers the question about which status code is "less harmful" A 301 redirect tells search engines that the page has been permanently moved to a new location, while a 404 error code tells search engines that the page cannot be found.So, which is better: 301 or 404? Google's Gary Illyes answers the question about which status code is "less harmful" in July's SEO Office hour.Per Illyes, it actually depends on a case by case basis thought 301 redirects are generally considered to be better for SEO than 404 error codes. If the page is missing because two sites were merged, a publisher can 301 redirect old or outdated pages to the new pages that are similar in topic.However, there are some cases where a 404 error code may be preferable. For example, if a page has been deleted because it was spam or malicious, a 404 error code will prevent search engines from indexing the page.9. Good Page Experience is Not Enough for SEO - Google's John Mueller recently clarified that having a good page experience is not a silver bullet for SEO. In other words, having a website that loads quickly, is mobile-friendly, and has no errors will not necessarily improve your search rankings if your content is not high-quality or relevant to the user's search intent.Mueller's comments are a reminder that SEO is a complex process that involves a variety of factors. While page experience is an important factor, it is not the only one. If you want to improve your search rankings, you need to focus on creating high-quality content that is relevant to your target audience.10. Google Doesn't Favor AI-Generated Content - Google's Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan, has clarified that Google does not give any special ranking boost to AI-generated content. In fact, he says that "lots of AI content on the web that doesn't rank well and hence isn't well received" by Google Search.Sullivan's comments come after a recent article in Vox Media claimed that AI content is "currently well-received by search engines." However, Sullivan says that this is not the case, and that Google's search algorithms are designed to rank content based on its helpfulness and quality, not on how it was produced.This means that AI-generated content can still rank well in Google Search, but only if it is actually helpful and informative. If it is not, it is likely to be ignored by Google's algorithms.11. Should You Match Google's Rewritten Titles? - Google often rewrites the titles of pages in the search results, most of the time removing the site name from the title. That seem to indicate to them that maybe Google sees the site name as redundant and perhaps they should just drop the site name from the title tag altogether. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as to make the titles more concise, to make them more relevant to the user's search intent, or to avoid duplicate titles.There is no consensus on whether or not it is a good idea to match the titles of your pages to the titles that Google rewrites. Some people believe that it is important to match the titles in order to improve your click-through rate (CTR). Others believe that it is not important to match the titles, and that you should focus on creating high-quality content that will attract users to your site.Google's John Muller offered his recommendations on this topic by writing: “I would not assume that a rewritten version is better (for SEO or for users), and I'd recommend keeping your site name in there — because it makes it easier to confirm a site name that we show above the title. Also, it's a well-known pattern, so I wouldn't change it just for Google.”The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) says that the purpose of the title element is to define what the webpage (referred to as a document) is about. And Google largely follows those standards.Google's official title element recommendations (on Google Search Central) for title tags echoes what the W3C recommends in a little more detail. Google advises that title elements should be descriptive and concise. The title elements should not be vague. Lastly, Google recommends concisely branding the title. That means using the site name is fine but repeating a marketing slogan across the entire site is not necessarily concise.Why does Google rewrite titles? Years ago many SEO sites recommended adding keywords in the title tag instead of recommending to describe what the page is about. Eventually Google figured out that people were stuffing keywords in the title tag. Obviously, if the keyword is relevant to what the document is about then put the keyword in there if you want. Another reason Google rewrites titles is because the description of the entire page is not appropriate. For example, Google often ranks a webpage for what is essentially a subtopic of the main topic of the webpage. This happens when Google ranks a webpage for a phrase that is in the middle of the document.So should you match Google's title rewrite? In my opinion it is not a good idea because Google might be ranking the page for a subtopic. If you want a reality check about the title element, give ChatGPT a try by inputting the text of the document and asking it to summarize it in ten words. Then again be careful because ChatGPT can spit out incorrect information.

Connected computers have changed the world perhaps more than any other single invention. The impacts of nearly instant global communication and effectively infinite, perfect storage of information are at once undeniable and difficult to fully comprehend. And yet, technologists, bureaucrats and corporate leaders make decisions on a daily basis that should be considering the repercussions. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Today, we'll discuss the digitization of the world and some of the more important impacts it has had and is having on society with the authors of the book Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion. Harry Lewis, former Dean of Harvard College, is Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science at Harvard. Ken Ledeen is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Nevo Technologies, Inc., a software development and information technology consulting firm located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Épisode 808 : Interoperabilité, c'est le mot du jour. Fini de faire cavalier seul pour Markito dans la course au Metaverse, le Boss de Meta signe des partenariats stratégiques pour faire avancer son projet et normaliser le futur du metaverse.A quoi ressemblera le fameux Metaverse ? Est-ce que ce sera un espace virtuel ouvert, joyeux et collaboratif comme le pays des bisounours ? Ou verra-t-on naitre des espaces propriétaires payants s'affrontant dans une concurrence féroce digne de Game of Thrones ? Pour résumer qui aura les clés de la boutique ? La promesse : le Metaverse n'appartiendra à personne.C'est Zuckerberg qui a pris le lead médiatique sur le projet metaverse.Il a pris des positions, tenter un morve risqué, jusqu'à rebaptiser le Groupe Facebook en Groupe Meta.Mais face au risque hégémonique, Zuck se défend. « Le Metaverse ce n'est pas Meta. Ca n'appartiendra pas à Meta. »Il faut de la coopération pour créer de la cohérence. Et aucune entreprise n'est censée posséder ou gérer le métaverse.Pour que le métaverse soit une expérience véritablement immersive et révolutionnaire, une gamme de fournisseurs devront exploiter leurs propres espaces et travailler ensemble. En gros, le Metaverse doit se construire un peu comme Internet tel que nous le connaissons actuellement.Le metaverse, une question techniqueMais les vrais enjeux du metaverse sont avant tout techniques.On l'avait évoqué en parlait du déploiement de l'occulus Quest 2 ou des lunettes du projet Lazare.Mais il y a un peu plus que ça, il y a aussi le MSV, LE Metaverse Standards Forum.Pour le Web, par exemple, on a le W3C, le World Wide Web Consortium, qui convient des normes de l'InternetAvec au coeur du Web, la même notion d'interopérabilité.HTML, CSS, PHP, Balises, autant de blocs de construction fondamentaux mis à disposition pour que chacun puisse créer ses propres expériences connectées. Pour le Metaverse il y a le MSV ConsortiumEt bien Pour le Metaverse, il y a le Metaverse Standards Forum, un lieu de coopération entre les organismes de normalisation et les entreprises pour favoriser le développement de normes d'interopérabilité pour un métaverse ouvert et inclusif,Quand on parle de normes, on parle de schémas, de plans de connexion, de transmission d'avatars, de codage…* »Le constat de ses membres est simple : Le potentiel du métaverse sera mieux réalisé s'il est construit sur une base de normes ouvertes. »*Et bien que personne ne sache encore exactement ce qui sera nécessaire, ces éléments de base fondamentaux définiront l'espace métaverse, ce qui garantira que des entreprises comme Meta ne finissent pas par dominer entièrement la prochaine étape.—L' absence d'interopérabilité est un problème clé dans l'industrie naissante du métaverse. Ceci étant aujourd'hui c'est tout l'inverse qui semble s'écrire. Roblox a son propre truc à base de gros pixels carrés. Ce qui se passe sur Fortnite ne peut se passer que sur Fortnite et Horizon la plateforme en VR de Meta n'offre aucune passerelle avec rien.—Les géants se mettent d'accord dans une sorte d'alliance cordialeLa semaine dernière, le groupe Meta a adhéré au nouveau Metaverse Standards Forum (MSF). Il s'agit d'un groupe de travail qui réuni des organisations et des entreprises de premier plan pour travailler ensemble sur l'interopérabilité. En gros, les géants du web de demain se réunissent pour créer ensemble les normes nécessaires pour un métaverse ouvert.L'idée étant que les utilisateurs puissent emporter leurs avatars et objets virtuels avec eux entre les différents espaces et expériences en ligne.https://metaverse-standards.org/—Il s'agit pour les géants d'écrire le HTML de demainL'interopérabilité est déjà un élément clé du Web, avec des blocs de construction fondamentaux, comme le HTML ou encore le CSS.Personne ne possède ces langages mais il existe des règles d'utilisation qui permettent à tous de participer.Le Metaverse Standards Forum est d'ailleurs encadré par le le World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) un organisme qui régit aujourd'hui les règles d'interopérabilité du web.L'idée sera que de pouvoir passer d'Horizon Worlds à Fortnite, de manière transparente et fluide. Un vrai défi qui pourrait effectivement changer le game ! —Le Metaverse Standards Forum rassemble aujourd'hui les leaders de l'industrie du Web3.Quelques noms : Microsoft, Adobe, Nvidia, Meta, Sony InteractiveCeci étant collaboration ne veut pas dire sans rapport de forceEt Meta bien décidé à ne rien laisser passerAttention, aucune confusion n'est possible : Meta aimerait contrôler autant que possible la poussée du métaverse. Et c'est déjà bien avancé…. grâce notamment aux ventes de ses casques en réalité virtuelle et au développement de son espace Horizon Worlds VR.À en juger par la stratégie de croissance de Facebook au cours des 10 dernières années il y a peu de chance que Zuckerberg se contente de faire de son entreprise un composant parmi d'autre d'un métaverse multiplateforme.Tout comme l'entreprise a acheté et absorbé les autres acteurs de médias sociaux, Zuckerberg a évidemment les dents longues.——Epic Games et Microsoft font figure de concurrents sérieuxSi il y a bien une entreprise qui est prête à tirer profit du métaverse, c'est Epic Games. Epic Games c'est le fabricant de Fortnite.Epic Games vend également Unreal Engine, le logiciel de conception en trois dimensions qui est utilisé par toute l'industrie du jeu et dans les superproductions comme la série "The Mandalorian". Epic Games s'est d'ailleurs récemment rapproché de Microsoft avec la mise à disposition de Fortnite sur Microsoft cloud.Avec la Xbox, Microsoft fait figure de leader sur le sujet du cloud Gaming. Le Gaming on le sait c'est une porte d'entrée énorme pour le Metaverse.L'objectif assumé de Microsoft est de toucher plus 3 milliards de personnes via sont service de cloud Gaming.Les projets actuellement projetés par le Metaverse Standard ForumAssets 3D interactifs et rendu photoréalisteInterface humaine et paradigmes d'interaction, y compris AR, VR et XRContenu créé par l'utilisateurAvatars, gestion de l'identité et confidentialitéOpérations financièresIOT et jumeaux numériquesSystèmes géospatiauxUn autre exemple de projet à venir : Interopérabilité des actifs 3DTester et éprouver le flux de travail des actifs 3D de la création au rendu d'exécution dans plusieurs moteurs :Confirmez que les comportements et les attributs des actifs satisfont les cas d'utilisation.Testez le pipeline de publication et de transmission.Exercez des comportements et des attributs interopérables dans plusieurs applications d'exécution.Source : Metaverse standards. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

What's up, everyone! In this episode, Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss Apple, Microsoft, and Google's announced plans to support the FIDO Alliance and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard. Please LISTEN

Dans le monde sans pitié des GAFAM, il est extrêmement rare de voir des entreprises collaborer dans un but commun. Et pourtant, Apple, Microsoft et Google se sont alliés afin de mettre fin aux mots de passe et proposer de toutes nouvelles méthodes d'identifications. Est-ce réellement la fin des mots de passe tels qu'on les connaît ? C'est ce que je vous propose de voir dans cet épisode.Pour l'historique, cette quête de la fin des mots de passe ne date pas d'hier. En 2016, le World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) lançait une mission aux grandes entreprises de la tech : supprimer les mots de passe. C'est dans cet esprit qu'a été créée la FIDO Alliance par Microsoft, Google et PayPal, et qui en 2019 a donné naissance au standard officiel WebAuthn. Également impliqué dans le projet, Apple rappelle par la voix de son directeur du marketing Kurt Knight que je cite « travailler avec l'industrie pour établir de nouvelles méthodes de connexion plus sûres qui offrent une meilleure protection et éliminent les vulnérabilités des mots de passe est au cœur de notre engagement à construire des produits qui offrent une sécurité maximale et une expérience utilisateur transparente, le tout dans le but de garder les informations personnelles des utilisateurs en sécurité » fin de citation.Concrètement, le fonctionnement de ce mode d'identification est assez simple. Au lieu de rentrer un mot de passe pour se connecter à un site ou à une plateforme, les utilisateurs peuvent tout simplement utiliser leur smartphone. En fonction des préférences de chacun, il est possible de choisir l'authentification par caméra frontale ou bien le lecteur d'empreinte. Pour les plus réticents, il sera aussi possible d'utiliser un simple code, ou même de dessiner une forme. Si des milliards d'appareils et les navigateurs récents intègrent déjà cette méthode, Apple, Google, et Microsoft se sont assuré que peu importe la marque, chaque appareil puisse servir de terminal d'authentification. Je cite Vasu Jakkal, Vice-Président de la sécurité chez Microsoft, « les utilisateurs peuvent se connecter à Google Chrome sur un PC Windows en utilisant un mot de passe sur un appareil Apple » fin de citation. De quoi grandement faciliter l'adoption de cette méthode encore peu démocratisée, mais plus pour longtemps. La FIDO Alliance annonce un lancement général dès le début d'année 2023. Hébergé par Acast.

The chapters do not work directly if you are listening the podcast from the web Player, therefore this is another reason why it is better to subscribe to our podcast directly from the podcast players such as Apple podcasts on iPhone or Podcast adict on Android platform. Now let’s jump into the news Section to see what we have prepared for you: This year CES 2020 was occupied by many more assistive technology vendors than on the previous CES events, which is absolutely a positive sign. Therefore we selected a few of the most interesting products which were shown for general public: First Braille tablet shown at CES 2020 While we don’t have too much technical information about the Tactile Pro, it is great to see that such devices are slowly getting into the mainstream and that braille as the most important form of written form for blind people is being updated into new device. Hap2Phone Allows Users to Feel Objects in Photos on Their Touchscreens Hap2U, a haptics developer specialized in integrating sensory intelligence into tactile surfaces, will unveil Hap2Phone, the world’s first haptic smartphone display, at CES 2020. While this device isn’t made for the end consumers, the concept of such a device might be very interesting for System integrators and OEM manufacturers. OrCam Announces New AI Hearing Device and Handheld AI Reader at CES 2020 OrCam is a known vendor from Israel. This time they decided to expand their product line towards the users with Hearing and reading problems with 2 new products. We don’t know what  the price of the products will be yet, however this does not mean that you should not visit their Stand on the upcoming assistive tech events such as the Sight City 2020 where you can try their products directly. W3C Launches an Introduction to Web Accessibility Free Online Course in Cooperation with UNESCO IITE On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (UNESCO IITE) announced the launch of the online course built on the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) open curricula with international expert trainers from W3C Member organizations. [The MOOC begins on January 20, 2020.] How to make museums more accessible for disabled people? Ask them The Arches project took place in 6 different museums across Europe for the last 3 years and they came up with really interesting results which Pawel represented to us in the podcast. This time we prepared really cool news for visually impaired musicians: Building Raspberry Pi Smart Guitar for Blind, Deaf and Mute Musicians This really cool Instrument combines various tech solutions built into one device, allowing the users with seeing, Hearing or speech problems to use it as they wish. The users can choose to receive the information via built in small Display, read the information via built in braille Display or choose the built in buttons for going through the menus in the guitar, in case the users have speech problems which they can read thru the built in Display or hear it thru the built in Speaker. Avid and Berklee College of Music Team Up to Deliver Innovative Accessibility Features for Visually Impaired Music Creators Musicians who are visually impaired finally can get really excited, because Sibelius will become much more accessible for Jaws, NVDA and Voice over users in the near future. That means that the Level of integration will be much improved for students and musicians who need to utilize Sibelius for composing on the daily bases. For many years visually impaired community was struggling with accessibility of Sibelius which is in todays world one of the main tools used for composing and arranging, and it looks like that this will finally change. VIEWS International published the results of the VIPTech project, and Bart gave us more info about it. EUROPEAN DISABILITY FORUM AND ORACLE E-ACCESSIBILITY SCHOLARSHIP 2019-2020 If you are Student who is studding IT related subjects and if you are visually impaired you may want to apply to the following scolaireship till March 6th.

Google Assistant Now Has Interpreter Mode on Android and iOS Devices We checked live in the podcast if the feature Works for the smartphones, and the result was very positive. Than we also checked if the same feature is available on the Android smartwatches, but weren’t sucsessful in getting it to work. That means that the smartwatch users will have to wäit a bit longer untill the interpretor arrives. However we were able to talk about another cool feature which allows all the users of Google Assistant to check their local air quality. IN order to activate it, just say “Talk to Air Quality Index”. After that the assistant will ask you for your location permmition, and after a few seconds you will get the results from the closest air quality measuring station. The last information for today Comes from Pawel who presented to us Z5NBY RetroArch 1.8.2 – Accessibility features for blind people. If you are a blind Gamer who likes the old style games like a final Fantasy this will be a great news for you, since you are able to play the game which you could not do it before. As always, we are here for you on our Twitter and e-mail so give us a Feedback about the last Episode, and we are looking forward to be back with you in February.

IntroAs a website development company, VGM Forbin is always working to create websites that are accessible for all online users. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure web access to all users including those who require the use of assistance devices. We’ve recently committed to a Web Accessibility partnership with a company known as AudioEye, that conforms to WCAG guidelines and will aid us in holding ourselves accountable for digital accessibility.What is WCAG Compliance?The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), are a set of standards that ensure the internet is a more inclusive and accessible space for everyone. It’s a set of formal guidelines that allows site owners, writers, designers and developers to create accessible web content for website users of all abilities. The guidelines state that digital content must be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust in order to be accessible to all users.This Episode’s guest is the Partner Program Manager at AudioEye, Shenyse Lujan.What is AudioEye?AudioEye was founded in 2005 by a set of brothers, Sean and Nathan Bradley. Nathan was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease. Because of this they began to start thinking about how Nathan's ability to access the internet is going to change over the next 10 or 15 years. They founded AudioEye with the belief that equal access to digital content was the right of everyone. AudioEye is a fully managed end to end accessibility solution whose mission is focused on eradicating all barriers to digital accessibility.How does AudioEye contribute to the accessibility of websites?Utilizes JavaScript that is embedded in the global footer of the website and gives the ability to manipulate the DOM(Document Object Model) and re-mediate errors of accessibility. Some examples of this are adding alternative text to images to help someone who is blind and uses a screen reader, tab focus for someone with motor skill disability who is utilizing the tab key, the ability to pause a carousel image for someone with a cognitive disability, and much more.WCAG and ADA standards are always changing, how does AudioEye stay up to date with those changes and implement them on websites?WCAG is the primary focus of AudioEye so it is always something that is at the forefront of everything they do. They are constantly changing and updating their standards so that their clients’ website is adhering to the latest changes of the law and is accessible for all users.How does AudioEye compare to other similar services available out there?Some companies are only providing the front-end toolbar and web enhancement tools but don’t provide that back-end maintenance to ensure that the website is accessible. Many digital accessibility companies are only pointing out what should be changed but AudioEye is pointing out the issues and also re-mediating them. AudioEye also tests the websites with different devices that are going to be used by people with disabilities. Sites are tested by someone using a screen reader or other assistance devices to ensure that the changes that are made are being tested by the devices that they are meant for.How do Forbin website customers benefit from the partnership with Audioeye?AudioEye works very closely with developers at Forbin when sites are being developed so that from the beginning a site is following WCAG standards and always improving. Forbin has its own website platforms and AudioEye meets quarterly with Forbin developers for training sessions to ensure that the Forbin development team is up to date with all WCAG standards. This ensures that the development team at Forbin is equipped with the right tools to make the best improvements for web accessibility. Shenyse Lujan:Partner Program ManagerCertified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC)slujan@audioeye.comhttps://www.audioeye.com/marketplaceMobile: 520-425-1783  Sean Dever:Web Marketer/SEM Strategistseand@forbin.comhttps://www.forbin.com/

Standards are crucial to the way we live—just look around you. A no. 2 pencil, perhaps? That arrived in an 8x8.5x20 shipping container? Standards allow your computer and smart phone to connect seamlessly with others. While it is clear that standards shape the material world we live in, someone decided that they should be that way. In a word, standards have a social life of their own. In Engineering Rules: Global Standard Setting since 1880 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019), JoAnne Yates and Craig N. Murphy look at the pervasive practice of private, voluntary standard setting as it grew out of a social movement of engineers. From the International Organization for Standards (ISO) to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Yates and Murphy provide an engaging narrative about the people and processes responsible for making the technologies we have today work with one another. Mikey McGovern is a PhD candidate in Princeton University's Program in the History of Science. He is writing a dissertation on how people used discrimination statistics to argue about rights in 1970s America, and what this means for histories of bureaucracy, quantification, law, politics, and race.

Standards are crucial to the way we live—just look around you. A no. 2 pencil, perhaps? That arrived in an 8x8.5x20 shipping container? Standards allow your computer and smart phone to connect seamlessly with others. While it is clear that standards shape the material world we live in, someone decided that they should be that way. In a word, standards have a social life of their own. In Engineering Rules: Global Standard Setting since 1880 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019), JoAnne Yates and Craig N. Murphy look at the pervasive practice of private, voluntary standard setting as it grew out of a social movement of engineers. From the International Organization for Standards (ISO) to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Yates and Murphy provide an engaging narrative about the people and processes responsible for making the technologies we have today work with one another.

Hinter der Abkürzung WebAuthn verbirgt sich der Begriff Web Authentication. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen veröffentlichten Webstandard für eine Programmierschnittstelle -auch bekannt unter dem Begriff Application-Programming-Interface, kurz API -  die zur Authentifizierung von Usern im Web dient und anstelle von Passwörtern auf dem Public-Key-Verfahren und der Nutzung von Faktoren wie biometrischen Merkmalen, Hardware-Token oder Smartphones basiert. Darüber hinaus soll die WebAuthn-API die Kommunikation zwischen einer Webseite und einem Sicherheitsgerät einem sogenannten Token erleichtern und die Anmeldeverfahren im Internet sicherer und komfortabler machen. Die WebAuthn ist eine Kernkomponente des FIDO2-Projektes. Im März 2019 wurde sie vom World-Wide-Web-Consortium (W3C), dem Standardisierungsgremium für das Internet, und der Fast IDentity Online-Allianz, kurz FIDO-Allianz, zu einem offiziellen Webstandard erklärt. Die WebAuthn-API kann sowohl im Browser als auch auf Webplattform-Infrastrukturen integriert werden. Durch den Einsatz der WebAuthn-API können Webseitenbetreiber ihren Benutzern alternativ zum klassischen Passwort-Login, die Registrierung und Authentifizierung mittels „Authenticator“ anbieten. Bei einem “Authenticator” kann es sich dabei um einen Hardware-Security-Token handeln, wie zum Beispiel einem FIDO-USB-Sicherheitsschlüssel, der mit einem Computer verbunden wird oder aber um ein Smartphone, an dem man sich durch biometrische Informationen identifiziert wie zum Beispiel durch den Fingerabdruck, Gesichts- oder Iris-Scan. Bei WebAuthn haben User zudem die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Authenticatoren gleichzeitig für ihr Online-Konto zu registrieren. Dadurch wird für sie die Kontoverwaltung und -wiederherstellung wesentlich komfortabler. Beispielsweise kann sich ein User mit einem Fingerabdruckscanner bei mobilen Anwendungen auf seinem Mobilgerät anmelden und parallel dazu einen Hardware-Security-Token registrieren. Falls das ursprüngliche Gerät aktualisiert, verloren, gestohlen oder kompromittiert wurde, lässt sich so der Zugriff auf das Online-Konto schnell wiederherstellen Aber lassen Sie mich die Funktionsweise der Web Authentication noch etwas näher erklären. Zunächst einmal müssen Sie wissen, dass bei einer WebAuthn-Kommunikation grundsätzlich drei “Parteien” beteiligt sind: Der Authenticator, der Server und der JavaScript-Client -auch bekannt als Web App. Mal angenommen, ein User möchte sich auf einer Webseite die eine WebAuthn-API benutzt registrieren: Zu aller Erst bietet ihm die API mehrere Authentifizierungsmethoden an. Der User kann zwischen externen Hardware-Security-Token oder biometrische Authentifizierungsmethoden, wie dem Iris-Scan, der Gesichtserkennung oder dem Fingerabdruck wählen. Sobald er die gewünschte Authentifizierungsmethode ausgesucht hat, muss er seinen “Authenticator” einmalig registrieren. Bei diesem Prozess erzeugt der Server zunächst eine Challenge (Herausforderung) und sendet sie samt Login-Daten zum JavaScript-Client im Browser des Nutzers. Diese weist das Endgerät an, den neuen Authenticator zu registrieren. Anschließend generiert der “Authenticator” ein individuelles Schlüsselpaar. Der Privat Key wird auf dem Endgerät gespeichert und der Public Key wird gemeinsam mit der Credential-ID und der Signatur der Challenge an den Server übermittelt. Der Server verifiziert die Informationen und hinterlegt sie in einer Datenbank. Beim erneuten Login übermittelt der Server erneut eine Challenge. Diese wird vom Browser zusammen mit der Domain an den Authenticator weitergereicht. Nach der Bestätigung durch den Benutzer, beispielsweise durch einen Fingerabdruck-Scan wird die digitale Signatur zurück an den Server gesendet und der erfolgreiche Login erfolgt. Sie sehen, mit WebAuthn profitieren sowohl die Webentwickler als auch die User. Denn: die Web Authentication ermöglicht starke, eindeutige, auf öffentlichen Schlüsseln basierende Anmeldeinformationen für jede Webseite oder Webanwendung. Gleichzeitig minimiert sie damit das Risiko, dass User zum Opfer gefährlicher Man-in-the-Middle-Angriffe und Passwortdiebstahl durch Phishing oder Keylogging werden. Außerdem erleichtert WebAuthn die Bereitstellung sicherer Webanwendungen mit einer Auswahl an stärkeren Authentifizierungsmethoden. Auf diese Weise wird die Abhängigkeit von schwachen Passwörtern verringert. Darüber hinaus bietet WebAuthn den Benutzern die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Authenticatoren für ihr Konto zu registrieren, um die Kontoverwaltung und -wiederherstellung komfortabler zu gestalten. Bevor wir zum Ende unseres Podcasts kommen, lassen Sie mich noch einmal kurz die wichtigsten Merkmale der Web Authentication zusammenfassen: Erstens, für jeden Webservice ist ein eigener, eindeutiger Account vorhanden. Sprich, es lassen sich nicht mehr gleiche Zugangsdaten zur Anmeldung an unterschiedlichen Webservices verwenden. Zweitens, die Zugangsfaktoren wie biometrische Informationen verlassen niemals das Endgerät eines Users Drittens, die Anwender können sich mithilfe eines Hardware-Tokens, einem Smartphone oder biometrischen Merkmalen wie beispielsweise einem Fingerabdruck, Gesichtserkennung oder Iris Scan anmelden. Viertens, für die Anmeldung sind keine Passwörter notwendig. Dadurch ist diese Authentifizierungsmethode resistent gegen Man-in-the-Middle-Angriffe und verhindert den Passwortdiebstahl durch Phishing. Fünftens, WebAuthn wird inzwischen von Windows 10, Android, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge und Apple Safari unterstützt. Ebenso ist die Integration auf Webseiten über den Aufruf der WebAuthn-API möglich. Fazit: Die Web Authentication ist ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Internetsicherheit. Sie ist der erste globale Standard für eine sichere Web-Authentifizierung und ebnet somit den Weg in eine Welt der benutzerfreundlichen, hochsicheren und passwortfreien Authentifizierung.

The issue of accessibility in online learning has been waiting for attention. Until recently, however, the urgency for action has been largely absent or deferred. Intentions were good, but few formal implementation deadlines demanded immediate action. The passage of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in 2005 led to the 2008 b adoption of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The Ontario Government has set a time limit of 1 January 2021 for compliance with this standard. This presentation will consider the changing concept of disability and accessibility in online learning. It will then provide a case study of Tyndale University College Seminary in Ontario, Canada, as it prepares to implement accessibility requirements for the 2021 deadline. Recorded and aired on Friday, January 26, 2018. The audio below plays the entire webinar with the Q/A session at the end.

In the second of my two-part interview with activist and author Cory Doctorow, we discuss how copy protection schemes (called “Digital Rights Management”) is trying to control how you watch, save, and share the digital movies, books and music you thought you owned. Cory explains how the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has caved into corporate interests and set the stage for serious future security issues with all web browsers. In the news this week are some serious bugs in both Microsoft and Apple products, an update on an important court case involving the First Amendment and DreamHost, and long-overdue updates to the accepted ‘best practices’ on creating passwords (and an apology from the guy who caused us all so much grief). My tip of the week will speed up your web browsing and help protect your surfing privacy. Listen to Part 1: The Mouse That Scored, How Copyright Went Wrong Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist, journalist and blogger — the co-editor of Boing Boing (boingboing.net) and the author of WALKAWAY, a novel for adults, a YA graphic novel called IN REAL LIFE, the nonfiction business book INFORMATION DOESN’T WANT TO BE FREE, and young adult novels like HOMELAND, PIRATE CINEMA and LITTLE BROTHER and novels for adults like RAPTURE OF THE NERDS and MAKERS. He works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, is a Visiting Professor of Computer Science at Open University and co-founded the UK Open Rights Group.

Server-side JavaScript has really started to take off, with a number of great projects providing different pieces of the puzzle. This talk will introduce server-side JavaScript and provide an overview of the existing projects as well as some ideas about where it’s all going in the future. Tom will look at how the various JavaScript runtimes, such as V8 and Rhino, affect development and provide their own unique features. You’ll also see the standardisation effort of Common.js and why it’s shaping how people write server-side JavaScript. All the leading SSJS frameworks - Node.js, Narwhal, Jaxer - will be discussed as well as some more quirky uses of JavaScript on the server such as CouchDB and YQL. Tom Hughes-Croucher is an Evangelist and Senior Developer in Yahoo’s Open Strategy Group, focusing on Yahoo¹s Web Services and Cloud Platform. Tom joined Yahoo! to work on the Yahoo! frontpage in Europe as a Front end engineer. He brought his experience from contributing to a number of Web standards for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the British Standards Institute (BSI).
