Had my call with the CEO and a load of execs, had to take it from a park around the back of the Tate gallery as there was nowhere quiet and private enough.

Got roasted but fucking smashed it. CEO thanked me profusely for turning around a $10m shit show.

The fucker who caused all the drama tried to attribute some of the success to someone on their team who had absolutely nothing to do with it. I let that shit slide, for today. Record will get set straight, served ice cold, corporate climbing motherfucker.

Christmas isn't cancelled ✊

I see that Fernando Pereira is donating to OpenReview (with a public announcement) because he apparently cares about "open science" or "open research" or some such. That's news to me.

He is the Google VP who wrote a condescending, bizarre, what was meant to be anonymous, "privileged and confidential" letter which was then sent to the HR department, instructing me and my coauthors to retract our Stochastic Parrots paper.

I was considering setting up my #immich server for a while now, but ept putting it off because I thought migrating the photos from iCloud to immich would be hard. Several how to's explained you had to download the photos from Apple's privacy website in bulk, or export them on your Mac as separate files.

So, finally put to work: I made enough room on my Mac to export all of them, I exported all photos in original quality from the Photos app to some directory on the Mac, and setup my immich server.

Then, finally, being able to login on the mobile immich app, I see a simple 'backup' toggle. I can select all albums in the iOS Photos app and switch "enable backups" on.

Just like that, it uploads everything to my new immich instance. This couldn't have been easier. All my prep work wasn't needed.

So, if you have been holding off, don't. This is so easy.

I'm so glad NVDA, Narrator, Orca, VoiceOver, TDSR, and Fenrir exist. I'm so, so glad JAWS is not the only desktop screen reader, and that FS did not persue JAWS for Mac.

I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.

Okay, but then, either provide the logs from Orca's debug, tell us what is wrong via bug reports or mails on Orca list, or you'll have always the thing which annoys you, so you'll be posting these posts. For example, without any specifics, I can not reproduce (or anyone) your Orca responsiveness issues, which I, except for huge web pages (say a table with tens of thousands of rows) can not reproduce. And yes, it might be also hardware dependent, so hardware specs along with the Orca debug log would be best.

For the love of Bob I'm begging people to stop putting unnecessary electronics in fucking everything.

My new fridge has a screen, with capacitive buttons that don't even seem to always do the same thing. So no adjusting the fridge for me. Then, more egregiously, I got a water filter jug, and it has a tiny screen in it, for some reason. Presumably because sighted people are incapable of tasting when the filter needs replacing, or god forbid putting a note in their bloody calendar to change the damn thing.

I love gadgets, but this is just fucking silly. Mountains and mountains of ewaste and it's all this sort of useless shit.

Shit is getting weird out there... oh wait, I mean same as it ever was.

"Two young #Jewish #children at #Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport were harassed by a man who called them ‘pig,’ ordered them to dance, and threatened to snatch their #kippas if they did not ‘#freePalestine,’ according to footage circulating on social media this week.

The man who accosted the children filmed the video himself and addressed them in both #French and #English.

“Are you gonna free #Palestine, bro?’ the man asked, adding, “If you don’t free them, I’ll snatch your hat, bro.”
