🕵️‍♂️ LinkedIn's latest trick: #scanning your #browser extensions like a nosy neighbor peeking through your blinds. They encrypt the results, so don't worry—no one will know you're into cat memes. 😺🔒 But hey, it's all for "user #experience," just like when your cat "helps" you type. 🐾💻

Plum, for Proactive Land Uncovering & Monitoring, is an orchestration tool to learn, monitor, and document an exposure surface. It coordinates work between scanning agents, keeps historical results, and makes observations searchable over time.

This project, part of D4 which was initially co-funded by the European Union, is still young, but it already addresses a concrete need: helping CIRCL to keep a global view of Luxembourg’s IP space, especially in the context of NIS2-related activities. The goal is not only to scan, but to maintain actionable knowledge of the national perimeter, its visible exposures and allows vulnerability discovery in the context of incident response.

Hey, it turns out that GNOME's "Document Scanner" application (Simple Scan) actually _can_ do Optical Character Recognition, running a post-processing script. It's just really, really, really not obvious (nor easy to set up): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/1#note_2713733

As a stopgap, here's my proposed UI lipstick fix just so that the existing UI's purpose can be understood: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/merge_requests/322

I'm hoping to see a built-in implementation someday.

Another newcomer-friendly UX papercut enhancement idea for GNOME's "Document Scanner" (Simple Scan) app: providing the page cropping aspect ratio presets directly as a split menubutton for the cropping action in the toolbar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/553

#UX #usability #GNOME #SimpleScan #scanning #paperwork

Finally realized what has been bugging me for years with the GNOME "Document Scanner" (Simple Scan) app's cropping feature: it doesn't set the mouse cursors to indicate where and how you can interact to adjust the cropping rectangle.

I filed this issue with some hints, so that any newcomer can contribute a fix for it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/552

(BTW, there's a similar papercut in GNOME Calendar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/963)

When I went to the IHOP website some time last year, the menu was fully accessible. Then, they changed it, and I had to use an old version from the Way Back Machine. Now, I went to the modern site again, and they are still inaccessible. After searching several sites, I finally found one that had the pdf. But I would need to open my Windows 7 virtual machine, open Openbook (ocr scanning software), load the pdf, convert it, and only then could I start reading the actual menu. Of course, I would also need to use the find command to get to the various sections, since it's not html and I can't just click on a link or go to the various headings, so that would take more time (usually, the last doesn't bother me, but it just adds more inconvenience here). So I just settled for a sampler, because my parents don't have all day to either read the menu and have me choose, or sit and wait for me to do all of the above. This whole thing took only a few minutes when the actual site was accessible. Am I missing something here, perhaps with using NVDA?

Meta might be secretly scanning your phone's camera roll

@berniethewordsmith The main way to respect #privacy is to avoid #scanning #private, end-to-end encrypted content at scale. Focus on:
- #Voluntary and opt-in tools for local scanning.

- #Serverside checks only for data that’s already leaving the private domain.

- #Cryptographic #protocols that verify matches without exposing the rest of users’ data.

I’ve finally started #digitising my #analogue #film #archive. It’s a mammoth task, but one that has to be done. So, the process begins; cleaning the #negatives, #scanning, processing, and then cataloging and keywording. This will take a while! #photography #35mm
