Fรผr blinde Musiker*innen, die die zugรคnglichen Keyboards und auf NKS basierenden Bibliotheken nutzen, weil sie eben sprechend sind und somit zugรคnglich, im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen solchen Keyboard-Systemen, ist das eine verdammt schlechte Nachricht. Sehende kรถnnen vielleicht auf Alternativen ausweichen, wir haben aber solche nicht. Wie bitter! Hoffe das ganze ร–kosystem wird irgendwie gerettet.

Yesterday at work:

me: "Codex, figure out why <component> doesn't see <hardware>, even though <hardware> is clearly present on machine."

(left unsaid: component runs in container, other stuff (also in containers) sees hardware fine).

*2 minutes later*

Codex: "You have foo installed at version X (likely from ubuntu repositories), vendor's hardware support matrix page says that <hardware> only supports Foo at versions y+, I advise you to install from official vendor repo. If you run foo, it shows a "hardware not recognized" warning."

Me: "You don't have sudo, write a sh script runnable with sudo."

Codex: "script is at ..."

Me: "./script.sh; reboot"

*2 minutes later*

Oh that worked. Would have taken me hours of debugging otherwise.

The whole thing took about 15 minutes, most of which was installing packages over a slow network connection.

So, jetzt weiรŸ ich auch, woran es lag, dass ich immer dachte, meine Posts auf diesem Account wรผrden zu spรคt in der Timeline erscheinen. Mein Programm, mit dem ich trรถte, steckt noch in der Entwicklung, und erst jetzt ist das Streaming komplett. Jetzt lรคuft also alles. Das wird bedeuten, dass ich in nรคchster Zeit auf meine Instanz umziehe.

Need to view the recovery key for a FileVault-encrypted Mac in order to, for example, reset its login password? If you opted to allow your Apple Account to be able to decrypt your Mac, the key is stored and viewable in the Passwords app on your signed in devices like any other credential; just select your Mac's name in the list of accounts, and then click or double-tap the key to show it. #TipTuesday

What is with these websites with seemingly random soft hyphens ยญ placed everywhere?

Here's an example. It makes reading with a screen reader very difficult.
When researchยญing a famous hisยญtorยญiยญcal figยญure, access to their work and mateยญriยญals usuยญalยญly proves to be one of the biggest obstaยญcles. But things are much more difยญfiยญcult for those writยญing about the life of Marie Curie, the sciยญenยญtist who, along her with husยญband Pierre, disยญcovยญered poloยญniยญum and radiยญum and birthed the idea of parยญtiยญcle physics. Her noteยญbooks, her clothยญing, her furยญniยญture (not to menยญtion her lab), pretยญty much everyยญthing surยญvivยญing from her Parisian subยญurยญban house, is radioacยญtive, and will be for 1,500 years or more.

Canceled my Spotify subscription this year and started using @AntennaPod, and my god what an update to my QoL.

No algorithms shoving perceived interests down my throat, no analytics tracking my every move, and no ads other than any the shows themselves decided to embed in an episode.

Seriously, if you can, give it a shot for at least a week, or swing a donation their way. We all need projects like these to flourish

So far with Moltbot, just on their web interface I have:
Sent a message to A T Guys support using the contact form on the website, getting around the CAPTCHA
Rickrolled myself by having it find Rick Astley on my computer and play using Winamp
Created a 20 song playlist of 90s bangers from files on my hard drive
Connected with Home Assistant and controled my speakers
Taken a screenshot of my computer
This thing can do good and very bad things. But wow the potential is there however you define it.

Reading the "European agentic AI landscape" report and it doesn't start well. And note, I'm not per se opposed to AI. But this sort of unjustified affirmation of the consequent bothers me:

"The EU must address systemic barriers that limit its ability to
strengthen the agentic AI ecosystem and generate value."

Oh, really, must it now? Why then I suppose no-one could have anything to argue against that.

Please help sign this online petition.

A new bill in Indonesia would massively expand censorship of LGBT+ content online. Tell lawmakers to reject this dangerous legislation now!

This petition was created by their partners at the Pelangi Nusantara.

Stop Indonesiaโ€™s bill to censor LGBT+ lives online

Indonesia is moving to ban LGBT+ content across digital platforms. Activists warn this will fuel harassment and arrests. Urge lawmakers to reject the Broadcasting Bill and defend free expression โ€“ censorship is not protection.

Leyendo noticias de Administraciรณn electrรณnica, acabo de ver esto, que se presenta como favorable, y a mi no me lo parece (y eso que yo sรญ pienso que la IA y los LLMs pueden tener utilidad).

"Europa destina ahora una mayor proporciรณn de capital riesgo a la IA agentic que Estados Unidos, con Francia y Alemania emergiendo como los principales centros. Una constelaciรณn mรกs amplia de ciudades innovadoras, como รmsterdam, Estocolmo, Mรบnich y Barcelona, โ€‹โ€‹estรก fortaleciendo el papel de Europa en este espacio. Los financiadores pรบblicos, como el EIC y el EIT Health, desempeรฑan un importante papel catalizador, atrayendo a los principales inversores globales al ecosistema europeo de IA agentic."

The iPad was announced 16 years ago today. How?

How has it been that long?
How has the iPad not made PCs irrelevant yet?
How long until Apple just admits that iPad OS is a failed experiment with 7 too many window management options that make using the iPad more frictionful than a real computer at almost every single use case.

I still use mine almost every day but if my current 2018 iPad Pro stopped working for some reason Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™d replace it. It just doesnโ€™t quite know what itโ€™s for. Still.

I tell ya, you could give Windows the newest and even better hardware in tons, and it would still be sluggish, laggy, unresponsive, straight up ignore input or take a minute to process, especially when booting up. This is a fucking top tier Lenovo laptop, I don't care how much bloatware there is on there, you have the resources, go and use them man, no reason to have my screenreader lag, only process one out of 3 keys and force me to reboot before even having done anything.

I tried using Claude Code on the desktop app today. Not to get technical, but Claude's where it's at if you're working on a large project like I am. It helps me follow a plan through beginning to end in an ordered way. Chatgpt is useful for other things, but this thing's generally accessible, is a great code pair, and it's willing to teach me as we go so I can do some of the coding. Heaven't started coding a lot yet, but I have a plan file outlined, and I'll start a refactor tomorrow.

OK, what are these big, awful, horrible problems which are supposed to befall me if I upgrade to the newest version of iOS as a voiceover user? Got a notification from Dice World and so of course immediately updated on my primary device because Iโ€™m that kind of stupid. So far, seems to be yet another massive wave of nothing. Thoughts welcome.
