@Aryan The main concept is that you have Brawlers, basically characters with different abilities, attacks, health etc. These Brawlers do also have gadgets, super powers, super attacks, ranks etc. You collect trophies by fighting with these brawlers, in various modes, either showdown (solo or duos) but also 3vs3 in modes like brawlball (football) or basketbrawl (basketball), gem grab, where the teams have to collect more gems than the other team while fighting each other of course, and when a player dies, they drop all the collected gems, hot zone, and a bunch more. Of course you have all the shit you'd expect around it: friends you can invite to play and form teams, clubs with rewards, quests which give you coins which unlock rewards on a reward track, brawler upgrades, brawler skins etc.

@Aryan To name a few abilities, you either have generic brawlers which just shoot bullets, but there are quite exotic ones as well like the projectile jumping from brawler to brawler, poisoning enemies while healing allies with the projectile, some that fly/jump, stun you etc etc. Of course some are slower, faster, so it's also a part to be strategic, for example a brawler with a wide range won't make a lot of sense when you play on a map with a bunch of walls since it makes more damage the farer it's away.

Went to fill out a W-9 this morning and realized Firefox's PDF form filling was...somewhat less than accessible. An hour or so later and I now have a Claude skill to do this for me. It finds and downloads forms, fills out details from natural language plus clarifying questions, applies image signatures using handwriting fonts, and does a visual verification pass on each page to make sure everything looks OK. I'm of course not confident enough yet to let this fill forms without human verification, and it doesn't yet handle non-fillable forms, but just being able to say "Help me fill out this form and sign/date it for me, then give me a basic sanity check" is a gamechanger even if I still have a sighted human in the loop. Reduces the process from lots of hand-holding and inaccessible editing, to a final and much quicker visual pass.

I've wanted an app to do this for over a decade, but wasn't super thrilled about writing something whose only value add was that it was the accessible version of something sighted folks take for granted. Now I have it, and it's less than 200 lines of markdown.

Jonathan reshared this.

Heard, I spend a lot of time watching mine. It almost never runs unsupervised unless I have it in a container, and I generally only leave it alone if it's working through a longer implementation plan which I've read, or if it's doing something like research. Even so, the fact that it works much faster than me is good, even if it does mean I spend more time checking its work later.
in reply to Nolan Darilek

After I saw your post, I was asked to sign a form that had a canvas for me to draw a signature with the mouse, and now I'm wondering if Claude could help me with that. Despite what I said in my last comment, this is probably a case where I don't really care if the AI messes it up somehow. In this case, I pointed out that I can't sign the form without a sighted person helping me (I think I have an easier time advocating when I know that several other blind people are going to be affected, somehow), and they made the signature box optional, so it doesn't matter for now, but I've run into these things from time to time and don't know of a way to handle them and end up asking my roommate to help me.
in reply to Mike Gorse

Possibly. For that you want to look into MCP servers--specifically probably something called the Playwright MCP. This lets you use something like Claude Code to control a browser. It can either control your actual browser, or a sandboxed/headless browser. Sometimes I'll use this for a high-level sanity-check--have Claude implement something then ask it to use the code via browser and make sure it works.

Mal etwas zu #Inclusion: Ich werde belehrend kritisiert, weil ich - wie 70 % aller im Fediverse - #AltTexte nicht oder verkürzt schreibe. Ich teile ausdrücklich die Position, dass wir inclusiv agieren sollten. Aber manche Bilder dienen nur als Blickfang für Sehende, um Aufmerksamkeit für den Text zu generieren. Für eine Bildbeschreibung wie früher in der Schule fehlt mir meist die Zeit. Und vor allem: Es wäre möglich, dass Mastodon diese Bildbeschreibungen per Klick und KI generiert.
in reply to Wurzelmann

Hab gestern hier irgendwo gelesen, dass die Rate an Alttext im Fediverse auf 28% (oder so ungefähr?) gesunken ist, weiß aber die Quelle nicht mehr und ob das eine gute Quelle war.

Außerdem ist das eine schlechte Nachricht!!
Die Heuchelei von wegen "Ich bin für inklusiveres Agieren, aber ich mach's selber nicht" find ich echt nicht ok.

Und wer selber sieht und ein gutes Internet hat, kann beurteilen, ob ein Bild "nur ein Blickfang" ist oder nicht. Wer blind/sehbehindert ist, kann aber nicht wissen, welche wichtigen oder unwichtigen Infos das Bild enthält und welche Infos damit diesen Personen vorenthalten werden!! Darauf wurde Herr Polenz auch schon hingewiesen, aber das Argument ignoriert er natürlich.

Die Betroffenen dermaßen auszuschließen und Bildbeschreibungen mit "wie früher in der Schule" zu verunglimpfen, ist echt niveaulos. Aber dann immer schön "Ich bin für Inklusion" behaupten...

NORAD pact would change if Canada pulls back from F-35 order, warns U.S. ambassador

cbc.ca/news/politics/norad-can…

Remember all this shit american software that nag you with question and never have a "No" answer? It seems that Americans can't take no for an answer, and like a bully threaten when shown resistance.

And I expect David "Chamberlain" Carney to bend backwards to spend more of this austerity budget to buy these flying bricks.

The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't but their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:

"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Bin dankbar, hier im Fediverse meist konstruktiv über die Gefahren von Rechtsmimesis & Rechtsdualismus diskutieren zu können.

Erlebe jedoch leider immer wieder Verharmlosungen von Antisemitismus, von Sexismus & auch Ableismus von Links.

Meine Bitte: Bevor hier manche immer wieder in Gruppen gegen Moderate vorgehen, reflektiert auch die Schwächen Eurer eigenen Weltanschauung.

Danke. #Dialog #Demokratie #Rechtsmimesis #Linksmimesis #Antisemitismus #Ableismus #Connewitz mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/lei…

Jemand poltert über Betroffene und respektvolle Hinweise für mehr Teilhabe hinweg und kriegt hdankenswerterweise ordentlich Gegenwind.
Da MUSS es sich um einen orchestrierten Angriff statt um einen eigenen Fehlgriff handeln.

Jeder macht mal einen Fehler und greift daneben. Das an sich ist nicht schlimm. Der Umgang damit, werter Herr Blume, macht aber den entscheidenden Unterschied.

Jetzt beleidigt zu sein, statt nur ein Wort der Versöhnung zu finden, setzt da meiner Meinung nach nur noch einen drauf. Das ist schade.

Good morning all. How is everyone doing?
It's a little after 6 a.m. here. It's 18 degrees outside, with a wind chill of 5 below zero. We are definitely not used to this kind of cold. My poor mom had to step outside for a minute, and she said it actually hurt.
I just had breakfast. Scrambled eggs with cheese and toast, as one of the soft foods I can tolerate. Most of my nutrition right now comes from medical food shakes. Now I'm back in bed playing Evolve Incremental. I might rest for a bit, since I'm feeling tired and have a mild headache.
We have a very full house today. Four dogs and 24 cats, with most of them indoors because of the cold. My mom is doing a lot of refereeing between cats, keeping them out of trouble, and watching for the ones who like to pee in the house.

So, yesterday sucked.

I've had a toothache that comes and goes for the last little while. It reached new excruciating levels last night, and I essentially became nonfunctional for all intents and purposes. Finally got some sleep, and feel a little better this morning.
So, today, I get to see what my options are for dealing with this while outside of network.

@fosdem is less then a week ahead! And this year, we will have a #stand there presenting our #opensource #secure #router - we are bringing #OmniaNG! This time we are joining forces with other opensource projects by #CZNIC. For example #Bird ;-) Looking forward to all the discussions we will have in #Brussels! See you there!

Look what I found. A Web site to look up RSS feeds from a URL (assuming the URL supports them.) If there are better alternatives, I'd love to know about them.

Welcome!

Man hat ja häufig das Problem, dass man sich große Vermögen schlecht vorstellen kann. Hier ein Versuch, das zu umgehen.

Wenn eine Pflegekraft Vollzeit arbeiten würde, bräuchte sie 971.428 und ein halbes Jahr, um das Vermögen zu erwirtschaften, das die BMW-Erb*Innen Klatten und Quandt heute besitzen.

Das ist dreimal die Zeit, die der Homo sapiens existiert oder die Hälfte der Zeit seit der Erfindung des Faustkeils.

Ich finde auch Folgendes anschaulich:

Stell dir vor, jemand gibt die jede Sekunde einen Euro. Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf... Nach einer Stunde sind das 3600€, ein guter Monatslohn.

Für eine Million Euro brauchst du damit etwa 12 Tage.

Für eine Milliarde brauchst du etwa 32 Jahre.

Um bei heutigen Multimilliardär*innen anzukommen:

Für 50 Milliarden (Klatten, Quandt) brauchst du etwa 1500 Jahre.

Für 200 Milliarden (Musk, Bezos) brauchst du etwa 6000 Jahre.

Kyle Rittenhouse walked up to police carrying an assault weapon during protests in Kenosha, then killed people, and Conservatives called him a hero.

Alex Pretti filmed officers during a protest, kept his handgun holstered, was wrestled to the ground, had his weapon taken away, and then was shot dead, and Conservatives are calling him a terrorist.

Contributions of governments to #OpenSource are often unsustainable - fragmented, short term subsidies, feature work or new things. Nothing shifting billions of tax money from Big Tech to open source!

The public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model. Commit to deploy these & shift real procurement money!

Debate me at #FOSDEM - between 12:55 and 13:40 on tis. Get involved!
