Pat (wirkt, als ob er ein Problem mit Frauen hat) bittet mich, eine Tablette zu teilen. Die wäre so hart, wir hätten ja extra einen Zerteiler dafür. Nehme die Tablette, zerteile sie mit der Hand, gebe sie zurück. Erst erstaunter, dann böser Blick.
Recently, I've found that random apps on iOS will open and be unusable. VO thinks there's nothing on the screen, except the status bar, and while the home gesture works, it lags. This just happened, and I double tapped a status bar item to jump to the top of the screen. VO said this: page -9223372036854775808 of 9223372036854775807
Yep, I am seeing this a lot with apps such as Instagram, Meta AI and others. Which ones did you spot? I wish this behaviour was reproducible so that we can properly report it. I usually jump into Screen Recognition in such instances. This helps somewhat...
@vick21 Audible, Google Classroom, and one more that I have suddenly forgotten. It seems to be random, though, not tied to a specific app. Perhaps it's the apps that pull all their content from servers?

Good Saturday morning! It is very snowy outside. I think we got about 8 inches of the stuff. Needless to say I'm not going anywhere. Bruno is going out to clear the walkway and the driveway. Nothing else exciting for the day. Have a good one!
I think we got 3-4 inches where I'm staying. I don't like the snow. I don't like the cold. But, if I, like, met my person or something and they were up here, then I suppose I'd move back, and my family is up here, so I don't know what the future will bring. Anyway, I hope you had a nice Christmas!
As a fun nerdsnipe, I'm getting pretty deep into 80s style speech synthesis, and have been studying systems from that era. What I'd like to do is a low-resource synthesizer that can run on chips such as RP2350. I'm reading the MITalk book and think it might be reimplementable, but have questions. If you know someone who might also be interested in this, please put us in touch.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. A Ferenghi businessman is haunted by three spirits who attempt to remind him of his honor. The Ferenghi should have simply slain the demons who attacked him. 3/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to Tiny Tim!
The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Two pathetic humans attempt a mating ceremony in which they sell their most prized possessions in order to purchase gifts for each other. Incomprehensible. Why does the female not simply bite the male to show her affection. 1/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman. A child's toy comes to life and defeats the evil Rat King in glorious hand-to-hand combat. Then the toy's honor is memorialized in dance and song. A true warrior's tale! 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Shulz. A young warrior struggles with internal demons of self-doubt and depression. While selecting a Christmas tree, he symbolically chooses one which reflects how he views himself - a weak tree, unable to support even a single ornament. He lashes out at those he considers his closest friends, attempting to remind them of their honor, and eventually gives up, believing his efforts were ultimately meaningless. But he is mistaken. His words were spoken with the heart of a true Klingon warrior, and his friends wrap the tree in their most prized possessions, giving it the strength to stand on its own, holding the weight of ornaments many times its own weight over. They gather around and sing songs of bravery and courage, and remind the young Klingon that he too will be welcomed into Sto-vo-Kor. Because sometimes the greatest battle a warrior will ever fight is the one inside his own mind and heart. 6/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to the House of Brown.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss. A cautionary tale. A Klingon from a lowly house is shunned by his peers and forced to live without honor on the outskirts of town. Instead of seeking honor and glory on his own like a true Klingon, he instead sneaks around under cover of darkness and steals the town's presents with the help of his faithful targ. As punishment, Kah'less removes his warrior spirit and he is doomed to stay in the small town facing his dishonor every day. If he had the heart of a warrior, he would have done battle against Whoville and claimed the glory of Christmas for his own. 4/5 Christmas Bat'leths.
The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton. The King of Halloween Town assigns three children to kidnap the demon Sandy Claws because he is a coward who refuses to fight his own battles. They too fail, because none of them possess the heart of a warrior. 0/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Tim Burton has no honor.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May. A young warrior is shunned by his peers due to a physical deformity. He leaves his family and house to seek his own glory. He returns after defeating a dentist, a filthy gold-loving Ferenghi prospector, and an abominable snowman. Recognizing his fearless warrior spirit, he is given the place of honor at the front of Santa's sleigh. 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory upon the House of Rudolph!
O pessoal que tem sempre que vir a correr dizer que determinado Governo de Esquerda está a ser responsável pela subida da Extrema-direita por "sucessivos escândalos" e por "não atender às condições económicas e sociais da população nacional" não tem nada a dizer sobre o actual Governo?
I might be weird (well, I'm sure that I am, in a lot of ways), but I wouldn't really mind if people just didn't buy me gifts. I feel like it contributes to me accumulating clutter. But some people really enjoy buying gifts, so I can't really say, "don't buy me anything," and I feel like I need to roll with it. But, just as one example, now I have two sets of measuring cups and spoons (one of my relatives seemed to think that, somehow, I might not already have a set). There's probably a young blind person somewhere who could use one of my sets, if I can find them. On the other hand, I never really know what to buy as far as clothes go, so I don't mind if people buy them for me, except that I end up with more jackets than I need, and so on. But, again, someone can probably use one of my extras, so it's a matter of me figuring out what to do.
I should've done this a long time ago (and I thought I did at one point) but just subscribed to the GNOME release calendar on my phone, so I'm hoping that I'll get notifications there when it's a release day. I'm always worried that I'll overlook the deadline and forget to make an AT-SPI release, and I'm pretty sure that I've done that before, so hopefully this will help.
s an aside, I don't think I've ever used my measuring spoons, either. I never measure spices, but then I'm not any kind of chef, either.

Na, alle Weihnachten mehr oder weniger unbeschadet überstanden? Mein Knie zickt weiter, ich schone es weiter, außer ich knie mich aus Gedankenlosigkeit genau drauf. Aua! Aber ansonsten hier soweit nix neues.
I am currently trying to for the problems with git.friendi.ca that occur more and more frequently by moving this setup to a new server. I will need a bit more time to accomplish this.
Updated! TheMistWorld 3-in-1 simulator tool got a huge overhaul. You can now create gems, or enhance equipment, with actual game sounds. That's right, you weren't tired of hearing the equipment failing sound over and over again enough? Now you can hear it slam endlessly and not caust you any real or in-game money! Same goes for gems. We now have an interactive, time-based enhancement mode where you can listen to gems failing and succeeding as it happens per level. If you don't check it, in either scenario, you get a text progress. The gem simulator now has shard prices for server 1 and server 2, so you are able to compare which server has what. Merry christmas and happy new year. mwgame.wiki/mistsim.html
Starting with v7.68.5-1, we've unified Molly and Molly-FOSS into a single fully FOSS app, with no proprietary dependencies.
We replaced the proprietary Play Services SDK previously used by Molly with our own open-source implementation, so FCM push notifications are now supported for all users.
If you have either Molly or Molly-FOSS installed, just update like usual. No migration needed.
Molly v7.68.5-1 is already available on GitHub and F-Droid. Accrescent coming soon.
I've always dreamed of a world in which we have to optimize code for memory usage more often, but I did not expect it to come about because of market distortions by an AI bubble.
By the way, I'm an independent consultant who would be thrilled to optimize your code for you! :)
The newest version of Firefox added browser.ml.linkPreview.* settings in about:config, which apparently serve no purpose other than popping up massive, stupid overlays where they offer to use AI to describe the bookmark you've visited 500 times.
So fuckin' stupid that we have to constantly disable more and more settings they've randomly added to get around the fact that we've disabled all the settings. It's just the fucking worst, people that run companies are all brain-dead assholes.

Dropbox is trash. Have to join a shared folder but can't because apparently I'm using 360% of my available storage, oh no. The root folder is empty, I left all shared folders, I don't have photos uploaded... Asked Claude, apparently it's a backup feature I have turned on somewhere somewhen, but no idea how to turn it off anymore. Meanwhile, on Windows it's spamming you with stupid notifications, and on the web and mobile app, it's trying to shove the premium plans up your throat no matter where you click. Even if I get this crap resolved, no way I'm even considering using that again. Can't we just have a good cloud option these days?
There's probably something in preferences to turn that off, but I agree Dropbox is trash. They only store one copy of every file, no matter how many people have it in their Dropbox, so shared folders shouldn't consume any space in your Dropbox unless you're the owner. But they know their 2 GB plan is unusable, the only thing you can pay for is 2 TB you'll probably never use, so they make money and that's all that matters. I didn't even install it on my latest computer. Much happiness.
@simon Nope, not in settings for me, but I found the direct link and am now deleting stuff. Also they now introduced a 500GB plan for 5,99€, but with no additional perks such as more devices, just plainly 500GB storage. The bad thing is that, from mobile for example, you have no other way than subscribing to get these stupid alerts away, in case you are in a hurry and need to join a folder or something. You must mess around somewhere on the web to eventually find what they're complaining about.
That's actually not unreasonable pricing, though the device limits are absurd. Certainly that would be enough for shared folders though, and there are various ways of attaching third-party apps to Dropbox and allowing access through them.
But but, your files are going to get deleted, go fast get the 2TB premium plan because it's awesome and you get a ton ofuseful features and best get thhe yearly sub because you can save.../s
what android media player do people use? i am thinking of adding actions to vlc, as the ui is in kotlen. But it is on gitlab so i am not sure if i will do a pr or just keep the build to use for my self lol.
Non, in fact. I use the typical music apps like Spotify Tidal, and dedicated podcast players. But not a generic local file music player, I mean these music and podcast apps support downloading anyway. Probably just me though, I haven't really found a media player I'd like anyway.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonští! 🙋♀️🐈🐶 Je suchý mráz. Svítí velké žluté kulaté. To je vám taková paráda! Jeho Lordstvo dostalo půlku vařeného vejce. Sir Artur kus rybičky. Já si dávám ranní kávu. Den jako malovaný. Musím říct, že Archibald klame tělem. Vypadá jako roztomilý medvídek, který neumí do pěti napočítat. Ale nevím, jaké geny v něm dřímají. Občas se stane, že chytí stopu. Zavětří jako Bloodhound, nahodí vrtuli a mizí v dálce s čumákem při zemi. Tuhle ho zase přepadnou chrtí myšlenky. Letí jako tryskáč, nožičky nejsou vidět, překážky neexistují. Úplný Falco. A pak má chvilky, kdy je proti němu Rotvajler hadr. Kde se v něm bere to hluboké vrčení a vlčí dravost? Porve se s vámi jako zarputilý buldok. Člověk by se ho na chvilku i bál. A pak sebou plácne na gauč. Kříženec lachtana, knedle, čuníka, tousťáku, kočky a brambory. Vy si taky najděte nějaký objekt k prozkoumání. Jen pozor, jestli nemá ostré zuby. Aby vás nehryznul. 😇 #dobre_rano #dobréRáno
Damals wohnten wir in einem Haus, das seit den frühen 70ern eine Sechser-WG war und in der links-alternativen Szene Triers einen berühmt-berüchtigten Ruf als Zentrum allen Chaos, aber auch als Ort legendärer WG-Feten hatte.
Für die Badezimmertüre gab es keinen Schlüssel mehr, sodass man, wenn man ungestört bleiben wollte, laut Musik hörte.
Je nach Musik wusste man, wer sich gerade im Bad befand. Z. B. hörte Mitbewohnerin T. entweder Element of Crime, Ry Cooder oder Buena Vista Social Club.
Jetzt hat meine Liebste die Badezimmer-Musiktradition wiederaufgenommen und ich muss nun an unsere ehemalige Mitbewohnerin T. denken, weil meine Liebste Talking Timbuktu von Ry Cooder hört. ^_^
LOL! Das klingt spannend! Der Vorteil an lauter Musik bei besetztem Bad ist natürlich auch, dass auch andere Aktivitäten stattfinden können, vorzugsweise zu zweit oder mehreren, die sonst nicht üblich fürs Bad sind, von lauter Musik aber auch gut maskiert werden.
Das ist alles vorgekommen. Auch, dass während zwei Leute zusammen in der Wanne badeten, sich andere Mitbewohner*innen einen kleinen Tisch und Stühle holten, um zusammen Backgammon zu spielen oder zu quatschen. Vom Bad aus kam man auch auf das Dach vom Anbau. Im Sommer schliefen wir darauf und dort wuchsen auch die Hanfpflanzen. Du siehst - Intimsphäre war bei uns meist nur optional.
Agréablement surprise de voir que le site des bibliothèques de Paris a été mis à jour pour ajouter des informations sur l’accessibilité numérique des epubs que l’on peut emprunter.
Le site lui est encore loin d'être accessible malheureusement.

Anyone using S3 (compatible) storage for incremental backups of Linux and/or MacOS machines at home? If yes, what backup software/tool? Open source preferred. My first unfocused research suggests to look at restic [1] and maybe just some scripting around rclone [2]. Any hints/links welcome! (Yes, this is part of my project to use local S3 compatible storage based on garage [3])
There is a CLI tool that lets you do common video and audio operations without having to remember complex ffmpeg syntax. There is no AI and no API calls, just old school pattern matching. It’s fast, works offline, and feels like video editing in plain English right from your CLI. For example, you can simply type: ``` ff convert my-file.mp4 to gif ``` And it will generate the ffmege command for you: ``` ffmpeg -i my-file.mp4 -vf fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos -loop 0 -y video_output.gif ```
Na to, že tím netopíte, je to celkem hodně. My máme dům 220m2, vše na elektřinu (topení, ohřev vody, vaření, filtraci bazénu, praní+sušení, teď už i auto) a jsme letos na 11,7 MWh. Když jsem byl single, měl jsem spotřebu v 70m2 bytě 1 MWh ročně. :)
Somewhere along the line developing Catima changed from "fun little hobby project where I can build an useful thing and have fun" to "oh God if I make a single mistake I risk 125 thousand people losing their data, I must not make any mistakes" and I do kinda miss the old vibe.
I mean it's amazing that my little hobby project got this many people to have just that tiny bit more privacy (yes, loyalty cards inherently are tracking but at least we reduce the trackers) but sheesh 😅
seem to remember a quote by the unknown Linus Torvalds, “just a hobby, [it] won’t be big and professional like GNU.”, how times change. Take care of yourself first!
