They mostly all have internal speakers, some are far better than others though. I have a Lenovo and the speaker is pretty crappy. I also have a Dell, and the speaker. on that one is better. Are you thinking in terms of TTS?
Mini is such a relative term these days. A few years ago I got a Lenovo P360 tiny. At the time that was classified as a Mini PC. It's six or seven inches wide and about the same deep. The Dell I have is about the same size. That said, I think some Beelink models include speakers, no idea how good they are though.
No speakers in mine. I got my GmkTek K7 a year ago and am very proud of its capabilities. I especially like the fact I can make hardware upgrades as needed. Check Amazon, as they have deals now for Christmas.
to be honest, Nextcloud are among the best in the open-source community, at least by far not the worst. Most of the open-source devs like to preach about European sovereignty, "great is free", "quit GAFAM" and all these sweet but practically useless things if you are blind, have reduced mobility or have other accessibility needs, but don't give a flying F about #Accessibility. It's better in the mobile land for some reason, but on desktop…You need it, you fix it, — that's what I read lots and lots of times. At least web version of Nextcloud is not bad. As for desktop… it's QT, so, I'm afraid, it will never be usable enough. I have plans to overcome it, and you'll know about it among the first.
@elettrona Even if you are a developer (I am, for example). So yes, I'm probably the best person to fix it: I'm blind myself, I'm a developer, I'm an #Accessibility specialist. Great! But I cannot fix all and all the stuff, from operating systems to messengers to office suites to editors to... you name it. Because it's my work, and I need money for some reason to pay my bills… That's why I'm so angry about this whole "Move to Linux/quit GAFAM right now!!" movement.
@menelion @elettrona Yep, I can confirm also. LibreOffice is coming along, and I can now grade student work with LibreOffice calc now but I'm afraid to rely on much else besides Emacs with emacspeak, Firefox, Pidgin, the old guard.
When I tried to tell my mom about me wanting to change my name, she made an absolutely massive deal about how people would think it's unprofessional or that I was trying to hide my identity (whatever that means, never mind my legal name is on invoices and anything relating to finances). She hammered it into my head that I wouldn't get a job if I put anything other than my legal name on my resume. But would you look at that, first try putting my authentic self out there and I work at a company with some of the most supportive and awesome coworkers ever, and I love my job. So TLDR, my mom was wrong as is pretty much the norm for any queer issue, and supportive work environments are terrific things.
Wait that post I saw a couple days ago about the US State Department banning the Calibri font and ordering Times New Roman because Calibri is "too woke" wasn't a joke??
Můj první toot na GrapheneOS. Začínám se pomalu zabydlovat. Co používáte za aplikace na soukromém (bez googlu) účtu? Hlavně náhradu těch googlových, jako jsou Kontakty Kalendář E-mail
Jaké další aplikace si do toho hlavního účtu má smysl přidat? Na starém mobilu jich mám tunu, spíš občasně poużívaných 🙇
@Milu FairEmail umí také více účtu, ale Thunderbird není špatný. Já porad nevím co je špatného na Owner profilu mít Google play, které běží v sandboxu. Nemá v systému žádná práva, je to jak běžná aplikace.Sice teď mám také víc profilů, ale stále si říkám, jestli mi za to stojí. Newpipe mně momentálně nepřehraje žádné video.
@Milu Já jen ještě dodám. Třeba originální Grapheneos kamera je nic moc. Ja mám klasickou pixel kameru a vypnutý u ní internet. Zase když už má člověk trochu dražší telefon, chci ho pořádně využít. Jinak k tomu Google play, samozřejmě nechci nikoho nutit co a jak má používat, jen si říkám, jestli se někdy zbytečně netrápíme 😀 Na počasí mam BreezyWeatheer f-droid.org/packages/org.breez… A ještě přidám Syncthing - fork f-droid.org/packages/com.githu…
@GuloGulo Jo, chápu 🙂 Každý to má nastavené jinak. Když to korporát dovolí a vyhovuje ti to, tak proč ne. Apple má výhodu v tom, že spoustu věcí řeší za tebe a nemusíš se v tom tolik vrtat, ale na druhou stranu jsi tam víc zamčený. Hlavní je, aby tě ten telefon neotravoval víc, než musí.@Milu @nacelnik01
@schmaker Já mám taky Aurora store na apky co na fdroid nejsou a potřebuji je.
Jinak mě asi ta jejich kamera stačí. Nejsem zas nějaký fotící maniak a pro mě je to dobrá kvalita. Skromná jsem 🥸 Na počasí mě asi nejvíce vyhovuje Cirrus. Vyzkoušela jsem jich hodně a toto rozložení mi vyhovuje. Jinak asi máte Zdeňku pravdu, že u GOS ty apky z play nebudou problém ale za mě osobně se mi líp dýchá čím míň jich tam mám. Jen pocit.
A ted mi při mé hlouposti došlo, že už máte Milane ten pixel s GOSem? Já myslela až po novém roce? 🙃 @archos @nacelnik01
@Milu Přesně tak — u GrapheneOS je to hodně i o pocitu. Technicky ty aplikace z Play problém nejsou, ale když jich má člověk míň, prostě se mu líp dýchá. Hlavně má každý jiné potřeby — já se v práci bez WhatsAppu neobejdu a pravidelně potřebuju navigaci. Pro mě je důležité, aby kalendář, kontakty, e-mail a další věci neměl Google, stejně tak vyhledávání. To, jestli mám Google Play v sandboxu, je mi v zásadě jedno.@schmaker @nacelnik01
@GuloGulo Jj dva telefony jsou opruz. Mě vadí u iPhonu hlavně cena, ale když ho dostaneš, tak super. Jinak navigaci teď TomTom @Milu @schmaker @nacelnik01
It's totally OK to have strong opinions either way, but I feel like in certain circles it's becoming a purity test.
Do you hold the RIGHT opinions about AI, how it's trained and how it's used?
I think pointing out the dangers is important. Pointing out the risks is important, but recognizing that the situation is nuanced and complex is important as well.
I think the appeal of the purity approach is that completely refraining from using generative AI is something concrete that some of us can do right now. So it's easy to feel that it's incumbent on us to do so.
@matt To make an analogy to something much less divisive: it was clear to me that at some point, we would want to move away from subversion to some other version control system. It was also clear that the market would eventually settle down, and whatever won would have a clear upgrade path from subversion -- but that couldn't be said for all of the intermediate contenders.
So it was prudent to avoid moving until the winner clearly emerged.
I am letting people play with LLMs in controlled circumstances, wtihout ever putting their results into production and clearly marking what they do and how they got there. Someday it may crash and burn; someday it might produce something worthwhile and sustainable. But until then, the responsible thing to do is not to do it.
@dashdsrdash The one that I still get hung up on is: Did using an LLM to generate this code meaningfully plagiarize other people's work or use their work without their consent? And I'm not sure of the answer.
Gosh, no. "The web interface looks the way I want" is not "the web interface is correct", and the entire history of software development as a craft slowly working its way into an engineering discipline is the story of why those things are different.
There are things which have provably correct answers, and beyond the trivial ones, they tend to be things like "use this well-tested theorem prover".
The problem with repeatedly feeding LLM output to a theorem prover and checking for correctness is the same problem as with bogosort, the canonically worst of all possible sorting algorithms.
In case anyone is standing next to the computer help desk... With the ever increasing number of IOT devices in my house, I'm looking to migrate to a more secure networking strategy with 0 trust approach using segmented VLANs. Does anyone have experience with Firewalla vs. equivalent Ubiquiti gear? I'm currently running an Eero POE gateway with an Eero 7 Max mesh. The network functions well enough, however I'm finding the lack of control over basic routing functionality on the Eero maddening.
I've done this with Ubiquiti stuff. By default, VLANs are not completely isolated, I.E. they can still talk to each other, and editing firewall policies is a bit odd from an accessibility standpoint using the web app, where you get all the controls. That being said, I did eventually figure out how to fully isolate each VLAN.
In this case, I was using a Gateway Light with a remote, multi-site controller, but I think it would be the same with a Dream Machine based deal.
@BorrisInABox Thanks for confirming this. From what I’ve been reading, ubiquity gear is super powerful, however it requires a lot of fiddling to get settings just right. I guess this is why I am also interested in Firewalla gear which is supposed to segment VLANs and isolate things by default. I’m not particularly trying to become a network engineer just to get things set up correctly.
@kevinrj Yeah. You can have it as basic or not as you want. Everything pretty much just works by default if you just want a standard network configuration.
Könnte man der #Nextclout mitteilen, dass man das *High-performance backend* nicht benötigt, und bekäme dann wieder einen grünen Haken im Admin-Panel, fände ich das sehr schön.
Doch, das kannst du bei den Talk Einstellungen vornehmen. Da kannst du einen Haken setzen, dann kommt die Meldung nur noch als Bemerkung, nicht als Fehler.
This version adds RwLockWriteGuard::downgrade(), adds Location::file_as_c_str(), improves diagnostic and validation for various attributes, no longer warns for unused Result<(), Infallible>, and more!
I'm happy that my proposal for an introductory course on Homotopy Type Theory / Univalent Foundations at the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information 2026 in Prague was accepted!
This is an introductory textbook to univalent mathematics and homotopy type theory, a mathematical foundation that takes advantage of the structural nature of mathematical definitions and constructions.

for some reason a lot of people are convinced that it's the same as Microsoft's nagging and that such projects would somehow end up the same way, except they would have nothing to gain as they have nothing to sell.
You usually see the response at the bottom on social media; then you scroll their comment history and, just like clockwork, you'll find the first sentence somewhere

WhatsApp Desktop Faces Major Update: Users Warned of Forced Logout and Resource-Hungry Upgrade
WhatsApp is preparing to log users out of its PC applications with a sweeping update set to begin on December 9, 2025. This comes as part of Meta’s plan to replace the older native Windows WhatsApp with a Chromium-based version—a move that promises new features but significantly increases system resource usage. While this is not the first warning, it signals a major shift in…
Recently, WhatsApp began sending notifications to desktop users, alerting them that they will be logged out to complete the upcoming update. Some users first

Krátce po jmenování Andreje Babiše premiérem došlo v Ústí nad Labem k tragédii. Pětapadesátiletý muž se stal první obětí nové éry blahobytu, když zemřel na následky udušení poté, co mu dokřupava upečený holub vletěl rovnou do huby a zasekl se mu v krku. az247.cz/muz-v-usti-s...
I got invited to submit a proposal for the social web dev room thing to talk about Smithereen but unfortunately I'm not coming because I can't get a sensible Schengen visa any more. Every country I looked up now only issues single-entry visas. Belgium itself stopped issuing non-immigrant visas to Russians in 2022.
I would think that something developed by software people would search literal strings when using a "dash" in the search team. Like `some-key` and not pop `some` or `key` as most relevant.
Was just thinking realistically, are you going to pull out your DotPad, Monarch, other larger graphic Braille display at the airport to check your Uber ride status? Or look at a transit /navigation app at directions? Was looking at the dimensions for the DotPad, the smallest of them all, and it's still the size of an iPad 11-inch, slightly larger and thicker. Good to pull out at your gate or in-flight, bad when walking around as it's too large. Some of you have asked if Cadence uses a membrane or film over dots, and the answer is no. I'm told this was a deliberate choice, to make the cells feel more crisp and sharp. Indeed, their rigidity reminds me of Orbit cells, but you can push down on them and when you lift your finger they spring back up. While you lose out on uninterrupted graphics (since Cadence uses Braille spacing, meaning there's a gap every 2 columns,) you get a pocketable reading device that's prioritized for that task. I was thinking to myself how most of these companies approached the multiline Braille concept purely from the graphic side, not so much making reading portable. For many of these companies Braille is another product alongside magnifiers or screen readers, or big-name medical groups sponsor them. (Dot Inc is an exception here.) So they didn't have the creativity to think, "what if we made smaller versions of this? 4 lines of 12 or 20?" Still find this a bit astounding and sad, until Cadence came along. They took a lost opportunity and made it real.

In fucking agony because of my stomach again. At this point, I'm thinking it's something as simple as coffee. I'm using lactose free milk. I'm not really having that much with lactose in it. Maybe it's sugar. Maybe it's gluten getting worse. I don't know, I just know it hurts, and I can't stand it.
Oof! This is awful, I am sorry to hear. I also have issues with some brands. Here I thought! I had it worse I am unable to go to the bathroom in any way, I can't even drink water or coffee without the hole of me hurting in protest. I send you my warmest, most comfortable hug, and hope and wish you figure it out soon, and get better. It is definitely no fun. And it's chrissmas almost, so health issues, kindly, go away and let people enjoy the holidays.
Informal Masto poll: What do y’all think of the name Nayshawn? Pronounced ‘Nay Shawn.’ For context, I was telling my s.o earlier that if we were to have a kid, I would want them to have a name that doesn’t get them picked on in school. And, he was like, if it’s a boy, we should name him Nayshawn. I think this name is ridiculous. He thinks it’s kick-ass. What do you think, fediverse folks?
Today's reddit amusement, from an erotic scripts community, a script entitled: "grandma got bent over by a raindeer." Noone else hearing the song in their head now? Just me then? ok fine.
1) If you messaged someone about 20-30 hours ago, and did not get an expected response/receipt better "resend" (long-tap or right-click the message to resend). Unfortunately, not all queued messages at the crashing nine.testrun.org server made it to the new one.
2) 2.33+ app releases are rolling out, supporting using "multiple relays" so that failing relays (like happened above) will not cause lost messages anymore. See support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi…
Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.
but roughly the current first multi-relay release introduces the ability to have more than one relay associated to your chat profile. You can choose what is your primary device, but will receive messages also on all secondaries. This is just an intermediate step towards another release where the outcome will be: if any relay works, the message will get through. single relays failing don't matter.
Thanks. Still hard to imagine. Would it mean that is also a way to change a severer without losing the connections? Say somebody started 2018 with Gmail but now wants to be recognized on their own server (e.g., own company …)?
@devSJR yes, that's the plan that you can exit from gmail or other big providers if you started with them. It's just that the last weeks were a lot of work for everyone involved, and we still need to stay attentive/co-ordinate about any issues in conjunction with rolling 2.33 releaeses (it's more complicated than you might think). Originally, we only wanted to publically talk/educate about it when the releases are fully available for people. Maybe just check back next week :)
You are certainly right when you say “it's more complicated than you might think”. I am fine with waiting.
BTW, I always like these non-noisy updates. The last one included "calls" which is a big deal. However, it seemed to have the same importance as “we fixed this one bug that affect one person in a hypothetical scenario”. In this release, there is yet another big feature.
