Я знаю что я дурачок наверное, но чета мне так хочется сделать многопользовательскую онлайн игру с квестами, гриндом, всякими штуками и механиками, с лутом, и конечно с циферками (в которых я правда ничего не смыслю).

Пока-что в планах сделать что-то вроде #webfishing но с фермерством, но у меня этот проект в голове как то не укладывается и не представляется особо.

in reply to DearFox

Вы больше похожи не на дурачка, а на героя. Потому что у меня когда-то тоже были такие идеи, но я понял, что я не потяну. Причём я всего лишь хотел сделать онлайн-дурака (извините, pun not intended), в смысле, карточную игру, доступную для всех. Но понял, что по крайней мере пока нет.

Info de l'ASTUS :

La carte Fluo jeune (moins de 26 ans) passera de 1€ à 10€ (« 1000% de hausse »).

La carte Fluo adulte passera de 20€ à 30€ (50% de hausse) dès le 1er janvier prochain.

Si votre carte Fluo Adulte échoit d'ici au 31 mars 2026, et que vous envisagez de la renouveler, nous vous engageons à la renouveler d'ici la fin décembre 2025 pour profiter de l'ancien tarif. Vous gagnerez 10€.

Interesting finding: most of the custom 2FA input forms (you know those with single digit input fields) *do not* work on slow internet. Likely because they require some JS bundle that does not download properly or takes forever.
Solution: just use a regular single input field, folks!

I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.

But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!

Seems that IAccessible2 supports alpha, but optionally, and I don't think there's a single screen reader that does anything with this info, at least. Maybe some sort of screen magnifier, but I have no idea how those work. typedef long IA2Color
A value specifying a color in ARGB format, where each 8 bit color component
specifies alpha, red, green, and blue respectively. The alpha value is optional. accessibility.linuxfoundation.…. Pretty sure UIA just leaves the high byte of their long unused, but I could be wrong there. This isn't a complete answer and you probably already knew all of this, but figured I'd pass it along just in case.

It’s been a looong while.

Since my last post I have:

🐶 Switched jobs to another doggy daycare.

🐶 Gone from five days a week to four. This is to make time to…

🐶 Study the dog trainer course I have started with PACT. It’s been a slow start, but I’m being consistent.

🐶 Gained a best friend in an anxious cockapoo called Glenn. This is him below, chilling after shouting at a child.

Life’s pretty busy, my head’s all over the place, but I’m moving forward.

Windows User: My computer froze again. I have to restart it for the third time today

Linux User: That’s rough. My system has been running for 3 years straight without a single crash

Windows User: Wow! What have you been doing with all that uptime?

Linux User: Trying to get my usb ink printer to work 😅

If I wanted to be on a "better" Twitter after the Musk takeover, I would open a BlueSky account. It delivers the same centralised, algorithm driven experience that divides in overhyped influencers and mere click fodder users, just the way all centralised "social" networks are designed to be.

And that's why I am NOT on BlueSky but here on the Fediverse. The Fediverse isn't a better X, Facebook, Instagram. It's the Fediverse. People to people. Embrace the principle and you will be happy here!

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115758…

The people who dislike The Algorithm™ are either consumers who basically just want an RSS feed reader (nothing wrong with that) or people who brought audiences over from other platforms.

If you’re trying to create something and find an audience for it on the #Fediverse, you need some sort of recommendation algorithm. Otherwise, you’re just posting into the void.

in reply to Daniel Gultsch

in my opinion a chronological feed and impulses is a good method for the audience to find you and sort of recreates what happens in the real world, where you get to know people, organizations or businesses that people talk about, or that you find on the street.
An algorithm that goes beyond that is kind of cheating as far as I am concerned, and it is an open door for future bad practices.
I think the fedi is ok as it is right now. 🤷‍♂️

I pass through the Solstice gate
And I am changed.
I squeeze and slip
Through the narrow place,
The thin place,
Where all our years are seen,
And worlds stack like sheets of glass.
I pass through the Solstice gate
And I am changed.
I leave behind what cannot fit,
Shedding self like snakeskin,
Discarded as old, ill-fitting clothes.
In the no-time, no-place, nothing,
I lose myself, to find it all.
I pass through the Solstice gate,
The threshold, one of three,
And I am changed.

@André Polykanine @Jonathan I am wondering why you think #EAC is not suitable for audio books? #foobar2000 has secure ripping as well so if you like it it's a good tool. Also cdex has been open-sourced years ago and can still be used. github.com/elha/CDex

If you've been having fun blasting aliens in the Audio Invaders game @ChanceyFleet and I created, I just made a new update. Max Energy is now 175 and updates properly when you get energy boosts, there are now hotkeys to hear your current score, energy, and round, and I made lots of internal optimizations. Chancey is also dominating the score board, so see if you can blast as many aliens as her! marconius.com/fun/audioInvader…

TL:DR Mat is a corporate slave, is really tired, and is getting fucked over

Now I don't need to tell you all capitalism is shit but it's wearing me down right now. A whole year with no more than 6 days in a row off, I'm set for 2 full weeks holiday over Christmas, starting last Friday.

Yeah, so some fucker makes comments in a meeting with the fucking CEO of the company, trying to deflect from a shit job they did, risking tens of millions of dollars, and put it on me and my team because I wasn't there to defend us, despite us being the only group to actually do a good job and not fuck up.

So yeah, worked the first 3 days of my Christmas "holiday", including a conference call in the middle of a family celebration meal. Tomorrow I have to find a quiet place for a call with the CEO and all the global Executive leadership to defend my team, who have done an amazing job cleaning up other people's shit, during a day out with friends visiting an exhibition, having a meal and going to football match.

This was my reward for the year, some carefree time, and it's just been laced with anxiety and, frankly, unpaid labour.

Apologies, I'm ranting.

Please don't reply with "fuck them, don't do it" or, "get a different job man" or whatever. It's really not that simple. I've been in this game 25 years but the timing is particularly bad this time.

In der Vorweihnachtszeit haben sie es besonders eilig: die Paketboten. Sie klingeln, rufen Namen, balancieren Kartons und verschwinden so schnell wieder, wie sie gekommen sind. Vor allem in Stadtteilen wie dem Wedding, wo Häuser selten nur ein Vorderhaus haben, sondern auch Seitenflügel, Quergebäude und Hinterhöfe, ist ihre Arbeit eine kleine logistische Meisterleistung.

Need help asap.
So my NVDA doesn't wanna speak other than in login or user control dialogs. Reinstalls didn't help, and of course restarts arn't the magical quick fix. :p. At the same time, wifi doesn't appear to work. Sometimes it barely works, and I thought it was a tailscale issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. It only worked the first time when quitting processes. I should point out that it's a pc issue, not an internet itself issue as it works just as it should anywhere else, for example, this work laptop I'm posting on now.
What kinda messed up conbination is this?
The wifi thing started yesterday in the morning, by the way. Only today nvda thought it wanted to just quit working.

I wasn't aware of @Tutanota 's contact synch fonctionnality on Android. Since i had #tutanotamail on my old phone that I have lost, today I installed #tutamail on my current phone to find out that I had unexpectedly recovered all my old contacts that I thought was lost forever.
I'm happy about it. That unknown feature gave me a new life today.
I want you to know that. Thank you for the job!

Question for the Mastodon hive mind:
Primer:
I have a need to convert, resize, reorient, and transcode video for various stages of our video edit and distribution pipeline. I've been doing all of this in ffMpeg, via command line arguments and custom-coded scripts. However, the needs of this thing just simply don't scale that way. And no one but me gets access to the CLI on these systems. So that's just not feseable.
Now finally, to the question.
I am looking for an open-source web frontend to ffMpeg that is, if not fully accessible, as that is a very tall order, but at least usable by an experienced screen reader user with the typical tools and hacks learned over twenty years of experience. Just something that doesn't make accessibility a barrier and most importantly, a time waster.
Please boost far and wide for reach, with thanks.

Ready! Set! Fire!
