Am I being stupid, or is there an easier way to get VO and TDSR to play nice together? I tried using activities to mute speech but this would mean that I’d miss notifications, wouldn't be able to use menus in terminal etc, or, what I've currently been doing, using rtrackpad commander to mute speech manually while I'm in terminal; same issue. Any help appreciated.

@Tutanota iOS app - is it new that when I mark my emails and click "move" then the folders are suddenly presented in reverse order? Previously the "Inbox" was first and then it was my custom folders below. Now all my custom folders appear on top and in reverse order. It's kinda annoying, can you please make it like it used to be? Make the order just like it appears in the sidebar. Thanks

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.

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.

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!

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.

A cockapoo curled up on the floor next to an elephant toy and a tennis ball:

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.

Friendly reminder, a reverse chronological feed like Mastodon and Pixelfed use are technically algorithms.

@senesens I don't think that wanting to find an audience is inherently bad. Obviously there is *a lot* of slop on social media platforms. But there is also a lot of good content. And generally speaking the fact that anyone theoretically can be discovered through social media algorithms has been a great equalizer if you compare that to what we had before where a creator had to convince a traditional publisher or broadcaster.

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.

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.

Oh, oops! Did you install all Windows updates? Did you try a hard reset, which is basically hold the power button until the laptop turns off? Also, apparently microsoft's vibe coding, broke the login screen, and not sure if they fixed that. Other than that, I am considering saying goodbye to Windows. And if you can't solve that, maybe it's time for new windows re-install, or something with the WI-FI card is wrong, but if not that, check for driver updates. What brand are you using?

@Winter blue tardis @Marc Hoffmann My guess is that NVDA configuration is somewhat messed up. My recommendation would be:

  • using ctrl+windows+enter to enable narrator for performing this.
  • Once narrator is working press windows+r to bring up a run dialog.
  • Into that run dialog type in "%appdata%\nvda" without the quotes and press the enter key to activate.
  • NVDA folder should be opened in the windows explorer. Use arrow keys to navigate and find nvda.ini configuration file.
  • If you really wish to proceed hit F2 and rename this file for example to nvda-backup.ini and confirm the rename operation by pressing the enter key.
  • Finally restart NVDA either by pressing ctrl+alt+n on the keyboard or navigate to the desktop, find the NVDA icon and activate it with the enter key.
  • NVDA should start with default settings. if it's working it's likelly there are some conflicting settings or addons in your config. If it's not you can revert this process and try something else.

Política: La izquireda no acierta

Creo que lo que dices es preocupante, desde luego. Pero tampoco tengo muy claro que haya ninguna receta para revertir el tema. Los medios son agentes que siguen sus propios intereses; no creo que con un giro de discurso se corrija el problema.

Tampoco tengo muy claro lo de la falta del discurso de clase. Yolanda Díaz/sumar llevan un montón de tiempo insistiendo en eso: cuestiones de clase, problemas reales y concretos. SMI, registro horario, jornada laboral, permisos, falsos autónomos, mejora del sistema de inspección. Y creo que no tiene muchos efectos.
