If you rely on assistive technologies (TTS, Braille display, enlarged fonts), what would be your preferred terminal output from a compiler or other CLI tool telling you where an error occurred?
If you'd prefer a different option, please elaborate.

In the Telegram group of a podcast I really love a listener brought this: github.com/github/spec-kit. And it seems, it's a thing I've been searching for since I started using #AI assistants in my development. Even before AI I always wrote a spec first, even if it was quite rough on edges, — I've always thought in lists and headings (yeah, screen reader user habits!). It's even more trustworthy because comes from #GitHub itself. Although it's still in version zero, I'm trying it now and it seems a very interesting concept.#SpecKit #SDD #SpecificationDrivenDevelopment

For 11025 Hz, we kept the original symmetric cosine glottal waveform because the new LF-inspired one sounded "constrained" / "like a small cell phone speaker" at low sample rates.
At higher sample rates (16000+), use asymmetric LF-inspired glottal waveform
with sharp closure (sharpness=3.0) for richer harmonics and "grainier" Eloquence-like
character.
This is based on the Liljencrants-Fant (LF) glottal model from 1985 - the same research that informed Klatt88 and likely Eloquence's DSP!

@alexhall @jscholes @jackf723 @Bri Once you copy a file from File Explorer, in Outlook you don't even have to create the message before initiating the paste. From the inbox, instead of pressing ctrl+N, press ctrl+V. This invokes the New Message dialog and takes the file that you had copied and automatically attaches it to the message. Just fill out the relevant fields, to, cc, etc., type the message and send and the file is already attached.

My latest at ZDNET:

"No one running a so-called Home edition of Windows should be forced to manually edit the registry or run PowerShell scripts to manage updates or turn off features they don't want to use. Those users shouldn't have their files moved to OneDrive without their informed consent. If they choose an alternative browser or search engine, that choice should be respected."

Windows 11 has 1 billion users - and they're furious

Hitting 1 billion monthly active users should be cause for celebration in Redmond. These days, though, it feels like every one of those users is complaining. Does Microsoft have what it takes to address the many pain points in Windows 11?

I've made getting to both the web and iOS versions of my Fast Weather app easier. Just visit FastWeather.online to use the web version or use the Try iOS link at the bottom of the page to join the iOS Test Flight and get the program. Table view on the web is a favorite of mine for quickly browsing temperatures in either my set of cities or the prepopulated lists of cities for a state or country. Change the view to table, pick a state and use screen reader table commands to quickly read.

A person just walked by in sturdy shoes, a face mask, and a backpack with a protest sign sticking up out of the back. They walked with purpose and resolve (heading toward the nearby transit station to get downtown, I assume), and it was all I could do not to run out and thank them for protesting.

Thanks again, a million times over, to everyone out there showing up, on behalf of those of us who can't do that right now. 💜

@stepan Definitely it has integration with MQTT or there is an integration into Home Assistant. The question is if there is coverage. If there is, all you need is a small companion, if there isn't you'll have to install a repeater in some good location to cover the area for yourself and others. Urban areas such as Prague, Brno and Ostrava are well covered. Countryside, you still have to be lucky. You can check the current map of the network here:
mapa.meshcore.cz/
You can use the Propagation function to see what coverage you would get from a spot you pick on the map.

Undiagnosed neuro-divergence is like playing a video game on the hardest settings, whilst everyone else is gaslighting you by saying it's on the easy mode.

When you are diagnosed (even self diagnosed) it's like realising you are on the hard setting, it doesn't make the game any easier... But you know you're going to struggle and can find ways to work around the problems to better suit your abilities.

trying to find a local radio station threw fastplay isn't working. if I could figure how how to listen to it in say winamp, I could save it as an m3u file and use fastplay to listen to it that way, but searching for it isn't working. if anyone wants to help me figure out how to find them, it is Power 96.5 WQHH.

It seems that radio-browser.info which is the site that Tweesecake uses, and likely FastSM as well, does not carry a stream for that station. Not saying it doesn't exist, just saying it doesn't exist on a popular open source radio listings platform, and its probably unlikely that the blindy apps will find it. If you do come across some sort of live stream like something on a web page from them, and want to attempt to extract a source, let me know, and I'll do some source code diving and see if they haven't entirely wrappered it. But probably most likely its not as easy as it once was. But if a stream exists that you want to see if can be turned into a Winamp or FastSM compatible stream, I welcome the challenge.

@Bri @countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 you have every right to brag about it! I didn't think I would like it, as I haven't liked a lot of players I have tried threw the years, but yours has actually caused me to stop using winamp lately. the only thing you don't have is support for DSP effects. lol.

@countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 No. I don't even want to touch that. SiriusXM is really damn stingy about what can play their streams. A SiriusXM app for Mac and iOS recently got shut right the fuck down because of SiriusXM blocking the app, so ... I could maybe get it working and it might work for a bit, but eventually it would just get shut down.

@Bri @countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 the person doing the development for it was a hell of a person too! that makes me want to seriously consider getting rid of there service just for this reason. I mean I haven't been listening to them a lot lately, and when I did, it was on my google speaker, or an echo in the house, but still. to jsut do that after 10 fucking years, that is completely bullshit!

I do love going through job application submissions where 700 candidates replied with the exact same sentence on one of the entry questions.

Using AI tools to email blast all job postings doesn't increase your chances, it makes you look lazy and doesn't make your resume stand out.

The mediocrity machine is so good at giving you the illusion of efficiency

@winduptoy whatever thing Mozilla is doing or the way they (mis)communicate things, it has nothing to do with people applying to jobs.
The majority of the applicants know nothing about Mozilla nor Thunderbird, they just use AI tools without any safeguard or awareness of how terrible they are and everyone in the world is dealing with the consequences of this unmitigated and unchecked cluster fuck that a bunch of billionaires unleashed on the web

Australia is BURNING

Tuesday’s temperatures reached record-breaking levels in Victoria—49°C—forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate due to extreme fire danger and leaving thousands of animals without food, water, shelter, or safety. The situation is also dire in New South Wales, with catastrophic temperatures forecast to hit wildlife hard, especially flying foxes whose population is decimated.

You will probably hear nothing about this on the news, but it's happening
