Trying a sattisfaction survey for #audiopub.
Do you like the site? Do you hate it? The reality of making stuff is that you almost exclusively hear from people when something is broken or they're frustrated. If I only went by my inbox, I'd think everyone hated this project. I don’t run big intrusive analytics, so this Survey exists instead to hopefully gain a better picture!
Feel free to respond to it: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Golden aspens blanket the trail at Fish Lake, Utah, in a beautiful autumn display. More than beautiful—it's part of Pando, the largest living organism on Earth. Over 100 acres, sharing one vast root system, a living wonder of nature. Walking here feels like stepping through living history, every leaf connected to a single ancient being.

Live Translation with AirPods is not going to be available in the EU. This means that it doesn't use on-device AI model and the microphones forward everything to remote servers 🤯

UPDATE: Before this post goes out of control. The DMA can also be a reason why this feature is not available in the EU:

@mysk@mastodon.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I would bet that this isn’t about GDPR but about the digital markets act, in which case on-device or off device doesn’t make a difference.

For a while now I have been looking for an easy-to-use solution to track the time I spent on various tasks at my wor. My colleague has recommended Toggl, a tool to do just that in the browser. I have tried it and neither the website nor the Windows app were accessible. Thanks to somebody boosting it, I have discovered Timery for Toggl by @joehribar , a third-party client for the Toggl service. It is easy, definitely accessible and powerful with shortcuts and widgets. It's customizable to the point where i now use the VoiceOver gesture of two-finger swipe left to start a new time entry (an instance of time running), as opposed to a timer which is a predefined time counting config that creates its own time entries once launched (this I start with a two-finger swipe to the right, pick a timer from the list and go). The new time entry only requires a name and starts immediately. I can assign it to a project later. The quadruple tap with one finger resumes the recent timer and a single tap on both sides of the screen (actually the half of the gesture to enable Braille Screen Input), stops any running tracking (I'll have to change that actually as it gets triggered everytime I really try to activate BSI). The subscription is definitely worth it! I don't have to even open the app most of the time and tracking has become much easier. Thank you! apps.apple.com/pl/app/timery-f… #Accessibility #Blind #iOS

⚡ Google is killing Android freedom by stopping you from side-loading apps. What's your reaction?

Option 1: Stop call it side-loading: Google wants to stop us from INSTALLING apps on our OWN phones.

Option 2: Awesome, now I can hate Google and Apple equally for destroying freedom.

Option 3: I don't care as I'm using a different OS anyway (please comment which one!)

i would not yet feel that issue because microG would never implement such anti-features, and if google puts that into aosp then would i need to worry tbh, but i already am switching over to #plasmaMobile6 on #PostmarketOS and with it away from the bloat of android but i am stuck on 2 apps that need AVB so no waydroid and for them do i use a seperate phone running #IodeOS.
i hope that this pushes the devs of android roms to maybe switch and contribute to #mobilelinux for more freedom.

I really don't think Carney knows what the words "nation building" means. "Nation building" is making big ambitious investments that make people proud of being part of the nation and unite the nation.

Public healthcare was a nation building project. The railroad was a nation building project. The Canadarm did some nation building. Weed could have been if Trudeau didn't fuck it up and put the provinces in charge. Dental care could have been if it wasn't just Obamacare for teeth.

Examples of nation building projects would be:
- High speed rail
- Free universal child care
- Massive investment in public transit across all cities (not PPP)
- A UBI
- A nationalized ISP with a mandate to provide high speed internet to all

No one is going to be like "I am so fucking proud we have invested in a copper mine!" or "Wooo! Upgrades to existing nuclear power plant!!" or "phase 2 of an LNG pipeline? Awesome! Phase 2, baby!!"

Those are not nation building. Those are just industry investment.

Zítra jdu poprvé zkusit vzít #kolo na nějakej real-deal výlet namísto drobných popojížděk. Vůbec netušim, co mě čeká, jestli to dám a jestli to dá kolo, ale kdo se bojí, chčije v síni!

Večer přemažu #Rockrider, nabiju powerbanku, pobalim hadry a na konci mě snad bude čekat zasloužený #pivo...

...anebo smrt :D

Vyrážím dopoledne, takže když někdo v okolí týhle trasy budete mít cestu, můžem pokecat (pokud někde nezabloudim :D )

Případný updaty budou v tomhle threadu

Oh yes, we know your truth, and I’m a feisty bitch. The same Julie Deden who runs CCB, and regularly tells women who are sexually assaulted that “they need to not make this a big deal because it could wreck his life.” His, fucking, life? What about her life? The same Julie Deden who has been asked, multiple times, to step down and has refused? Sick bitch who should not be in such a high place of power. Julie Deden you should be ashamed to show your vile face in public let alone speak about supporting blind folks. nfb.social/@nationsblind/11518…

@technocounselor @cublanco @tardis I. Agree completely, if we were on facebook, twitter, and I was using my real name. Employers can easily look that up. For the record, my sense of humor is very dark and sarcastic, so not everyone will find it funny. So you’re right, I would put far less on facebook or even on a mastodon that uses my real name.

Don't be that paranoid, you are not entitled to give social media to employers, at all. So no idea why we'd even raise that up. It's not like we tag people or anything, this is fedi, if someone don't like it, there are plenty of choices. Every opinion is valid. And I don't know if any of you realise it, but people go to fedi to run off from popular social media, so there that. That was an unnecessary, if valid concern. Like I said, I am not dismissing, but we're all free to share. I created this because I don't care about the bosses of people. I do my job, you do your job, as long as that's a thing, no one really cares. Plus, let's be real, blind orgs suck, they probably have good stuff, yes, but if there are bad personnel, then the whole thing is caboom, untrustworthy, like who tf cares, even?

Um, masto public posts are very public. Well, you really can't google me, for example. Google here prevents me for example, to look at people's backgrounds, or anything about them. So yeah. Also, everyone does background checks, and as long as someone isn't an ass and harming people in actuality, I doubt an employer will jump on them. Masto stuff shows on Google if you know what to look for, but yeah.
