Two years ago we switched all #curl documentation into markdown as the source format. We generate man pages and more from those.

curl docs format evolution

I trust you have figured out already that I have the highest ambitions for the curl documentation. I want everything documented in a clear, easy-to-read and easy-to-find manner.

Baví mě komentáře od lidí na #Youtube, kteří mají nutkání "odhalovat" neoznačená AI videa, jako např. cestovatelku časem na různá historická místa. Jinak by se díky realistické kvalitě opravdu nedalo poznat, že to není realita 😝

BTW jsem pro zákon označovat všechen AI obsah, jinak bude během několika let (nejen) Youtube skoro nepoužitelný, nebude se dát filtrovat. A vše bude růst exponenciálně: porostou nároky na energii, poroste množství podvodů a lží, bude se melancholicky vzpomínat na dobu před AI. V rukou mentálně nedospělých lidí je AI zlo.

So tell me, how do you feel about TikTok in the US now opening ways for systems like Palantir and others that "assist" ICE to get access to your user data? Allowing the US to do what they accused China to do – surveillance – when avoiding exactly that was the original stated reason for the whole fight?

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní lidečkové! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐶
Včera mi došel balík z antikvariátu! Jucheeeej! Nudit se nebudu. Tak copak já si vyberu jako první? Lord Archibald má úplně stejnou radost. On dostal krabici. Teď na ní pilně pracuje. Sir Artur takovou radost nemá. Původně se do té krabice uhnízdil. Byl surově vytřepán a teď se vztekle z opěradla gauče dívá, jak z krabice odletují ohryzané kusy. Myslím že si ho budu muset udobřit nějakou dobrůtkou. V koupelně probíhá hádka. Obě Dcery národa odjíždějí do města. Obě chtějí k umyvadlu. Hned. K zrcadlu. Hned. Možná si půjdu pro židli a sednu si ke dveřím. Spor se přiostřuje. Chtějí rozsoudit. Židle nebude. Prchám.
Vy se každému sporu dnes vyhněte a udržujte si hladinu zdravého humoru. 😊

Friendly reminder that Mastodon, et al is federated, which means you almost certainly won't see every reply on a thread.

Let's say you're reading a post from "reasonable.domain". And someone from "cesspool.domain" replies to it. If your instance blocked "cesspool.domain", you won't see that reply.

This effect minimizes the appearance of harm. It can be a blessing, but it also means you won't always see the problems inherent on these platforms.

Give it to a popular speech synthesis engine, ETI Eloquence, or Eloquence TextToSpeech on Android, to not mispronounce stuff when they are incorrectly spelled. Strategy...being the word in reference. Eloquence says it correctly even if people type Stratogy. eSpeak immediately says something I can't even make other synthesizers replicate. The place where I most often see this horrible mistake is on forum.audiogames.net, but I don't go on about it there, because it's not the user's fault that the speech engine they use does not alert them to the mistake. I do read braille, mostly to help me with my work, as most of the folks CVs I have to process, have African names, and speech, no matter which synthesis engine, break African names royally. Just...fix Stratogy on eloquence so it actually pronounces it wrong...then that illusive E in the middle will replace the incorrect O.

@Bri It's often encountered in discussions about SoundRTS, or similar realtime strategy games. I don't scroll in the agnet forum too often, because of workload, but saw stratogy pop-up again yesterday evening while checking for new releases. I can't remember which topic exactly now, else I might have posted so you could see what I am squektalking about.

Liebes Fediverse! Ich hatte im schulischen Rahmen schon mehrfach Zeitzeugen zu Gast: Holocaustüberlebende, politisch Verfolgte aus der ehem. DDR, usw.

Nun suche in Kontakt zu Menschen, deren Eltern(-teil) Täter*innen zB. in der Nazi-Tötungsmaschinierie war(en) UND die sich kritisch damit und mit der damit verbundenen Familiengeschichte auseinandergesetzt haben.

Habt Ihr mir da Namen oder Tipps, wen ich da anfragen könnte?
Gerne mal boosten! Und: Danke vorab dafür!

I know I use AI a whole lot lately, but people are vastly over-estimating the capabilities of it and thus using it for all kinds of things they shouldn't! One giant example is that hardly anybody writes anything themselves anymore. Look, being well-written used to be something to be proud of. Now, I beg anyone and everyone to just write things yourselves! I'd almost go so far as to say, the less well-written whatever it may be is as long as it's still getting the intended message across, the better! At least it won't be full of false positivity, more emojis than the Apple Keyboard and more lists than...A person who loves lists! Very Sincerely: someone who is quite saddened by both companies and individuals making writing so much more boring!

I don't mean to be blunt, and ask your pardon, but if the most important part of the company, the marketing which generates sales and the sales department, is being tossed at AI, why wouldn't the less important parts which can be ignored in most cases be filled with AI as well? Developement isn't that important compared to sales. Jaws is more or less done at this point, new features are either too far a reach or require ideas which people don't have. The same may be said of magnification generally, right? Why not dump everyone who knows what's going on and milk it for all you can?

One of the coolest things for Rhythm Heaven fans, Heaven Studio, now has a mod to make it screen reader accessible! I've been having such a blast playing this thing! If anyone would like to snag Heaven Studio, and/or the mod, links will be below.
Heaven Studio Revival Project: drive.google.com/file/d/1FKeKx…
Accessibility Mod (click on download on the page): chikutaku-luyi.itch.io/rhsamod
After downloading the mod, you should see a Heaven Studio folder. Go into that, then there should be things like MellonLoader, and other items. Select all, then paste them into the root of your Heaven Studio folder, then load Heaven Studio.exe, and enjoy!

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

MAGA: Conquest: We nede Greenland to protect our national interests so we'll just take it. Progressives: Alliance-building and collaboration: We need Greenland to be on our side to help us meet our national goals, so we'll work closely with them in a mutually-beneficial relationship. The choice here is quite clear my friends.

So I've tried the brand-new blindness Windows apps #FastSM and #BlindRSS and I have to say that I'm highly impressed with both! If you haven't checked them out yet I highly recommend giving them a try. Both represent elegant yet simple solutions to Blue Sky, Mastodon and podcast and text RSS feeds. #accessibility

new, experimental build of SpeechPlayer. I would like those who are brave to test, for a new, more Eloquence-like sound. Shoutout does go out to @fastfinge for helping to get this idea going and colaborating on the repository.

The big switch is that it is no longer a sawtooth wave. Instead, it now uses asymmetric cosine glottal-flow pulse (a pitch-synchronous "glottal pulse train"). So, glottal flow pulses, not continuous oscillator shapes like triangle/saw/square. This has allowed us to achieve a much smoother voice, with clearer consonants but the familiarity of the voice people know.

@fireborn I mean, it's meant to preserve the characteristics of the voice mostly, so that changes are incremental, but it does add a bit of smoothness - and the Benjamin voice finally sounds better. Going incrementally at these, this tuning was really just on the wave generator and not the speech itself that it interpolates. Consonants do sound a little sharper which is nice in it, but people are super sensitive to the smallest of sound changes, so I'd rather more people not notice much of a change or be happy with it still than go "oh no this is sounding like the ESpeak version!" which is what people hated about it in the firstplace.
