#Fedra is now on GitHub releases! Beta 2 gives you some new hotkeys for switching timelines and interacting with threads, makes the binary smaller, fixes deleting posts, and a couple other small tweaks. github.com/trypsynth/fedra/rel…
It is great to see so many examples of blind people meeting our own software needs lately. Thanks for the work you're putting in. Do you have any estimate for when you will create a Windows installer? I know several people who would love to play, but even extracting a zip file into a folder and running the executable from there is beyond their comfort zone. Same question for Fast SM, who I would mention but auto-complete appears broken in that client at the moment...
@JonathanMosen Thanks for the feedback on the installer, I can get one done pretty soon! My thought, as a technical user, was it's one binary, they can just grab it and put it somewhere, but I understand that lots of users are used to just running a setup program and then the software works, so I'll definitely get to it. Thanks for the feedback! :)
@JonathanMosen Also, as excited as I am about how far you can go with just one executable in this new tech stack, you may eventually hit some constraint that forces you to ship other files as well.
@Bri @FastSM It's working now for me too mate. I can't account for why it wasn't before. Perhaps it hadn't had its vitamins. So, any thoughts on a nice user-friendly installer for this thang?
@JonathanMosen @FastSM That's awesome. If you don't mind, can I take a look at how you did that? I won't if you don't want me to of course but the users want an installer, and I currently have no idea what's the best way to roll one through GH actions
@JonathanMosen @FastSM I just realized, the way you do it works, but because of the nature of Python, I don't know that I would be able to do it with a non-dynamic installer file like that. Hmm
@Bri @JonathanMosen @FastSM here is the error, Failed to execute script 'FastSM' due to unhandled exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\FastSM\\errors.log'
@Bri @J3317 @JonathanMosen @FastSM Well also, to be fair to installers, having your error logging lliterally be "yeah so let's just pipe stderr to a file handle that I open once without any error checking and then never close" is more than a little bit horrifying.
@J3317 @JonathanMosen @FastSM A lot of that shit is just leftovers from Quinter. It's worked out okay ish so far, but yeah there are still a few questionable things it does yet.
@Bri @J3317 @JonathanMosen @FastSM Am I the only one that gets flash backs to those quarenteen zones featured in the last of us games, when I hear/ see the name of the fedra mastodon client? Fedra also happened to be the shorthand for the very strict and controlling group behind enforcing curfew, maintaining order, handling the distrobution of food rations, etc during the events of the last of us parts 1 and 2.
No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".
But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.
Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

Gerade Info-Mail bekommen: Die Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes sucht weitere Teilnehmende für ihre Umfrage zu Diskriminierungserfahrungen. Die Umfrage läuft noch bis 28.02. und ist in verschiedenen Sprachen verfügbar. Vor allem werden noch Jugendliche ab 14 Jahren für die Teilnahme gesucht, da diese Gruppe noch unterrepräsentiert sei.
How did we end up in the timeline where instead of writing a note on a post-it and sticking it to the door one needs A HUNDRED THOUSAND GPUS WHICH COST A TRILLION DOLLARS AND BURN A TERAWATT OF POWER WHILE GIVING ZERO FUCKS ABOUT COPYRIGHT OR CONSENT?
Some genius made his AI remind him to get milk in the morning and it used up his $20 account balance overnight because it kept checking if it was morning every 30 minutes. Lmao. “AI”

#seattle is in the #superbowl and I couldn't think of a more perfect birthday present than a personalized item, unique experiences, or a practical item tailored to my specific hobbies and interests.
@mattmay we met at a Seattle "scripting enabled" meetup, and hung out at CSUN occasionally. Many years ago. I have a vivid memory of a Karaoke bar in San Diego with taps of sticky slushies.
They spent $40 million making it, and $35 million marketing it, and as expected it earns only $5 million.
But on the bright side, old Jeff gets to support the Trump crime family without people boycotting Amazon and burning down his stores — the way they torched Teslas after Musk got Trump elected — because this new money transfer is a bit more opaque.

It could actually be seen as having overperformed at $2,9 million.
Estimates were $1-5 million and this projects to around $5m.
I can't paste that. Did you select all in the text file instead of select all >copy >paste? if so, do a quick post edit and do that instead. The data's a bit different and will parse properly. I'm curious...
I'm doing another update which will mean that CTRL+Shift+C copies the clipboard with more metadata including tempo and title, this is made for sharing. I cannot believe that I accidentally vibe-coded a music sharing platform...
If you get bored, make sure you're on the latest composer version, and then you can hit F2, enter some notes and a title, then edit this post with that info. Be sure to select all, then do CTRL+Shift+C and paste that in your post.
Лучи ненависти сервису HCaptcha и тем, кто его использует. Ситуация: надо пройти челенж. "Вслепую" челенж пройти, как вы понимаете, невозможно. Но HCaptcha хорошие. HCaptcha заботливые. HCaptcha сердобольные. HCaptcha придумали как незрячие могут пройти челенж! Они придумали устанавливать кастомный Cookie-файл в браузер, по которому, в последствии, фрейм проверяет и скипает задачу. Ну, это они так думают. Наивные. В реальности фрейм HCaptcha упорно утверждает, что куки-файла нет. Установил. Куки-файла нет. Еще раз установил. Куки-файла нет. Еще раз. Нет. "Вы использовали разрешенное на сегодня количество файлов cookie." Спасибо, бл*дь! Горите в аду! Есть же Recaptcha, ну что вам неймется-то? Аааа! Задница полыхает, что твой вечный огонь.
О, Денис! Привет! У нас в англоязычных слепецких кругах её называют обычно либо HateCaptcha, либо HellCaptcha. Надеюсь, что их кто-нибудь таки засудит за их псевдодоступность.
Да сомневаюсь. Доступность есть? Есть. Работает? Ну, раз есть, значит работает. Тестировалось? Ну, у нас тестировалось. Жалобы есть? Ну, есть, но мы же не боги.
Right, so I got the Pixel 6 Pro and like 5 additional cases for 50 bucks, battery has been replaced with an original, the screen has a few dead pixels, but the guy even gave me the old screen and battery. Now I have a device to test Graphene OS on, yippi.
Re: last boost (dragonscave.space/@TheQuinbox/…) about Fedra, @TheQuinbox's new Mastodon client, what makes this project notable to me is that it's written in Rust and uses wxDragon, a project to provide Rust bindings for wxWidgets. The result is a desktop application with top-tier accessibility for screen reader users, in a self-contained executable that's quite small by modern standards (~10 MB for Fedra). I hope this project will become a reference for future applications by and for blind people.
Note: Fedra is currently Windows-only. There are some complications in using wx to create non-trivial accessible interfaces across the three major desktop platforms. I'm sure Quin will work those out over time.
This is also a resounding success story for Cargo, Rust's build system. I just pulled Quin's repo, updated my Rust stable toolchain, then ran "cargo build --release". That was it. Out popped a stand-alone executable. On Windows! "Fused silicon", to use @glyph's old metaphor (blog.glyph.im/2006/04/fused-si…), has never been easier. Granted, this is my dev box, so I already had a recent Visual Studio installed, but I don't recall having to do much if any futzing with it.
I do realize, that as @glyph pointed out much more recently, a stand-alone executable isn't the whole story, especially on non-Windows platforms. blog.glyph.im/2023/03/no-exe-i… We need packaging, digital signing, notarization on macOS, etc. But there's work happening on that stuff in the Rust ecosystem as well. For example (and I haven't yet seriously looked at this): github.com/crabnebula-dev/carg…
@glyph Much better than how Paperback used to work, make sure you clone with the submodules, then init vcpkg, then make sure you're in a dev cmd prompt, and then run these three commands. Cargo is one of the things that keeps me coming back to Rust, despite me finding other languages that have draw in their own ways.
Can anyone recommend a citation software that is easy to use? I need something like this for my homework assignments. Does anyone have any experience with this? Boosts appreciated. #software #accessibility #citation
I just saw a short on Youtube about how many musicians find it hard to tell the difference between an augmented and a diminished chord. To me, it's pretty obvious, not because I have a firm grasp of music theory. I really don't. It's always been sub-par. I just play things that sound good to me. The reason it's obvious to me is because of the Casio SK-1 I had as a kid. It had dedicated keys for different types of chords, and someone once told me what they all were, probably when I was about four years old. Stuff like that sticks around forever.

So hörte sich manch männlicher Mitstudent für mich in meinem ersten Semester an der Uni an: "Unter Einsatz immenser, jedoch bis zum Moment der Aktualisierung des Impulses latenter Energien löste sich die amphibielle Kreatur von ihrem habituellen Standort und verschwand, einer in erster Näherung parabolischen Bahnkurve folgend, in den mehr oder minder transparenten Räumen ihrer Existenz." = »Ein Frosch sprang ins Wasser.« Danach bekam ich ob diesem abgehobenen Geschwafel nur noch Lachflashs. 🙃
I'm in Belgium for #FOSDEM and the #XMPP Summit, and ever since I crossed the border on Wednesday, my roaming has been extremely spotty or non-existent. It's amazing how much XMPP instant messaging traffic I can still get through a very slow EDGE connection, whereas the Mastodon API with Tusky doesn't work at all.
Try disabling or enabling 5G. I got similar issues when traveling to Czech or to Hungary. Also manual selection of different local provider may also help…
Today is a double dumb. I can't tell where the toothache ends and the headache begins. I think that's me done for the rest of the day, probably. With all the snow that will surely still be on the ground tomorrow, I have a funny feeling my root canal won't be happening then. We'll see, I guess. #MakeItStop
Wäre heute nicht ein guter Tag, um einen Messenger auszuprobieren, der einen offiziellen Standard nutzt, d.h. den Weg von Instant Messaging zu Independent Messaging zu beschreiten?
Einen ganz einfachen Weg, der deine persönlichen Bedürfnisse berücksichtigt und dabei auch die Souveränität deiner Mitmenschen verbessert, findest du hier: imday.de/
Tak Tusky už konečně umí zobrazovat i citace. A taky přidal další kosmetické vzhledové změny. Jsou tak nenápadné, že nevím, co přesně se změnilo, ale vím, že je to jiné.
I’ve had a long and crappy week especially with this horrible weather.
Always remember to be kind to each other and you matter so much. You deserve the best and most amazing moments.
Today we are gonna be talking about hyperbolic orbits
A hyperbolic orbit describes the path of an object that passes through a gravitational system only once and never returns. Unlike circular or elliptical orbits, a hyperbolic trajectory is open, meaning the object has enough speed to escape the gravity of the body it encounters. In our solar system, some comets and interstellar objects follow hyperbolic orbits, briefly swinging past the Sun before heading back into deep space. These paths have an eccentricity greater than one, a key mathematical signature of escape. Hyperbolic orbits are important because they reveal objects that originated elsewhere. A few examples include Oumuamua and 31/ATLAS.
Das Jahr hat erst angefangen und ich kann jetzt schon nicht mehr. Die ganze Weltpolitik, persönliche Sorgen, es passiert gefühlt nichts schönes mehr. Ich muss das ganze rausschreien, um wieder Luft zu haben. (Wieder ein schneller Scribble-Comic, mehr schaff ich gerade nicht).
Last of the Matrix series at the Decentralisation Communication devroom: what does it take to bring MLS to decentralised environments? Hubert tells us so!
Today at #fosdem26 we listen to @benjaminbellamy the father of @Castopod presenting the project #podilibre to bring freedom and control at every step of the process when producing a podcast.
