"Lo aquí planteado busca ayudar a entender la situación poniendo énfasis en la construcción de masculinidades crueles, bajo la idea de que no es un suceso aislado, sino que responde a un contexto y una dinámica social en donde crecen grupos como los autodenominados incels, fratría masculinista con fuerte base en redes sociales que reproduce discursos misóginos y enaltece comportamientos violentos."
There was the equivalent of a Youtube call-in show, where you win stuff for correctly answering weird questions without looking them up with a search engine. They had ways of knowing if you do.
I was watching Linus Tech Tips, something I usually don't do, because they annoy me, and was the first to correctly answer the question: "What is the city of origin of VoIP equipment manufacturer Grandstream?"
The answer was Brookline, Massachusetts.
Unfortunately, I woke up before I got to learn what I won. Oh well.
So I found the secret to getting Google to listen to us! See, you have to join their Discord servers lol.
So Gemini on Android is less accessible with TalkBack than Gemini on iOS or even Gemini on the web. And I'm tired as fuck of sucky ass technology shit for the day just trying to do BSI on this iPhone because obviously having both hands on either side of the screen is having more than 3 fingers on a single side of the screen or some bullshit. Crem of the storming crem, Apple. So St'm not going into detail about the issue here because anyone who's kept up with the complaining I do knows the issue. Anyway, so I join the Gemini Discord, and I thought I'd posted that issue months ago, but apparently not. I know I reported it from the feedback part of the Gemini settings, but this is just proof that they don't read that shit.
So I post the bug report in the bug channel, and within a good hour or 2 I get a reply. Because of course. Now Google, make a TalkBack Discord server lol. Fucking insane. But yeah y'all if you have issues with Gemini, go to their Discord lol.
Version 0.4 of Paperback, my lightweight and efficient ebook and document reader, is out! Changelog: * Added CHM file support! * Added bookmark support! You can have as many bookmarks throughout as many documents as you like. You can jump forward and backward through them with b and shift+b, set one with control+shift+b, and bring up a dialog to jump to a specific bookmark with control+b. * Added an installer alongside the portable zip file! The installer will install Paperback into your Program Files directory, and automatically set up file associations for you. * Text files with BOMs should now be decoded properly, and the BOM will no longer be displayed at the beginning of the text either. * Added far more information to the status bar. It'll now show you your current line, character, and reading percentage. * HTML comments, as well as the contents of script and style tags, will no longer be shown in text output. * If passing a relative path to Paperback on the command line, it will now resolve it properly. * Percentage movement is now handled by its own slider-based dialog, accessible with control+shift+g. * Documents without known titles or authors will now always have a default. * The position saving logic is now much smarter and should only write to the disk when absolutely necessary. * The document you had focused when you closed Paperback is now remembered across application restarts. * Input into the go to line and go to page dialogs should now be sanitized more strictly. * Fixed table of contents navigation in epub 3 books with relative paths in their manifests. Zip download: github.com/trypsynth/paperback… Installer download: github.com/trypsynth/paperback… Donation page: paypal.me/tygillespie05 Enjoy!
How do I select an entry from an epub TOC? I got it open, there's the tree view, I press enter on a section and nothing happens. I press OK and it says please select something from the TOC. My input is an epub generated by the FicLab browser extension, I can send it to you if you need help with repro.
@x0 You've found an edgecase. I've solved a couple of these with weird epubs, but someone just reported another on GH. Hopefully fixing that will fix yours too.
Would it also be possible to, when opening the TOC, automatically move the cursor to the nearest enclosing TOC item? So that, E.G>, if I'm reading chapter 15 of volume 2, opening the TOC will place me on the chapter 15 item inside volume 2? Obviously if I were to actually click on this I would likely be shot back to the beginning of chapter 15, but it makes navigation easier if you want to do relative.
@x0 I struggle to understand why you'd want this. It's supposed to take you to the closest toc item to exactly where you are. If chapter 15 has subheadings, just hit left arrow and you'll collapse it and get to the chapter 15 root node, which you should then be able to press enter on. Or are you telling me you've found an epub that always puts you at the start of the TOC when you press Ctrl+T? In which case that's a bug.
Fiiiiixed! TOC activation now works, and I used heading nav to move sections after I went somewhere and scrolled a bit, and then opened the TOC again, and it kept up with where I went. So you are now capable of parsing the output of the FicLab browser extension.
A test would be to see if this works with nested TOCs, E.G> if I'm in section 2, subsection 4, subsubsection 3 and open the TOC, do I end up focused on subsubsection 3 inside those two, auto-expanding as necessary to get me there?
Yup. And I don't know enough about epub to construct such an intricate test case, plus what the hell would I put in all the sections? I think using the fanfic harry potter and the methods of rationality, official epub, I might be able to test level 2 anyway, it has divisions in the TOC for arcs.
@Aryan Meh. I dislike plaintext views for that kind of thing. I like to have links and lists and block quotes and such. I've never totally understood the seeming obsession of any accessible desktop reader dev to immediately go and let's just strip all the semantics and output raw text! I still make CHMs of the Python help documentation. I *need* to see the semantics in something like that, and navigate them.
@x0 @Aryan IMO, plaintext fields fall apart completely when tables are concerned. Everything else can be worked around, kind of, tables are a complete no-go.
@miki @x0 @Aryan Yeah, that's the problem with QRead, it doesn't really tell you that unless you t and shift t. It'll require some thought to get right, but I think I'll be able to pull it off.
@x0 @Aryan My concern is whether there's anything in the epub specification that might require loading the whole document for the table to display properly.
Same-page links are definitely one feature that wouldn't work with this arrangement, wondering if there are others.
On normal webpages, that is definitely the case (because of Javascript if nothing else), but I don't think epub supports that.
@miki @x0 @Aryan No, I don't think we'd need to do that. What's hard is if the table has hyperlinks in it, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Just FYI: my only account which is still active for me is from AllOverthePlace.ca. If anyone notices a David Goldfield from other accounts who follow you, please do notify me so that I can investigate it. Now there is a Civil War historian named David Goldfield who is, of course, welcome to establish a Mastodon presence but barring that, other accounts with that name are likely fakes.
My DV advocate has been working to find us safe housing! In the meantime, I'm also working on an application for a part-time job that could be a great fit, and continuing to look for legal help while doing as much as I can independently.
PLEASE help us get legal help, a car, and everything else we need to survive ♥️
Unfortunately we didn't get the transitional DV housing we were hoping for 💔 and still can't go home as emergency restraining order was denied. This goal is for legal funds but housing support is also urgent!

When Andre (@Onj) randomly reached out offering to produce drums for a collaboration, it just so happened that was working on a song and was having trouble getting drums that sounded right. It was perfect timing and he did an amazing job. Check out the links on Andre’s profile to check out his work! He’s a real talent and an awesome human.
Our collaboration is now up on #Bandcamp for #BandcampFriday if you want a copy for yourself.
@VE3RWJ According to a conversation earlier today in The Global Voice's public chat room, he claimed that all the "parodies", as he calls them, are “funny” to him. When he was told that what he was doing was pathetic, he basically responded with “that’s your opinion”, or words to that effect. In case you want to look at what he wrote, the room can be accessed at theglobalvoice.info/chatroom.h…. He definitely has problems, that’s for certain.
@kjsapergia @VE3RWJ I see it, is there a way to go back in the history? The fact that he uses Fahrenheit to measure temperature makes me wonder if he is in the US.
@VE3RWJ I believe his real name is James Popov. That's what he's known by in his emails. He's also an extreme Trump supporter. As far as the history goes, you should be able to scroll up through the page. I think it stores what was said for up to a week, but I could be wrong about this.
@kjsapergia @VE3RWJ I am not surprised at all that he is a Trump supporter. I'm sure there are Trump supporters that are decent people and that don't behave that way, but they do seem to be an awful lot of them that enjoy being trolls just like him.
@kjsapergia @VE3RWJ yeah well, I dont really talk about that guy, I just let his spam accounts flood my notifications and that's that. though i will not deny at all that what he's doing is completely not ok. I think his name is ramon salizar or something.
In Japan, trees in the path of urban development or road construction are often relocated rather than cut down. This reflects the country’s deep respect for nature and commitment to environmental preservation.
Using specialized techniques, experts carefully bind and protect the roots before transplanting the tree to a new location.
This approach ensures the preservation of greenery while allowing infrastructure projects to move forward.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 12 updated apps. Our ongoing gardening activity cleaned out 2 no longer maintained apps which where also rarely downloaded anymore:
* Ylight Music: a Youtube Music client, which was reported to us as … behaving strangely * widgets-for-auto: Android Auto widgets, with several proprietary components and also only few downloads
As it goes with gardening, our other plants are now better visible 🤗
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
