I Out of sheer boredom and curiosity, I asked #ChatGPT to write a little essay about #TrafficLights and how they differ from country-to-country. I then had an #AI version of yours truly read it, courtesy of #ElevenLabs, so here it is. I even learnt a few things I didn't know, assuming of course, that Chat GPT is correct in what it wrote.

squee. I finally got around to enabling the #rust #cargo sparse protocol and I. am. in. love.

in ~/.cargo/config.toml, put:

[registries.crates-io]
protocol = "sparse"

The speed difference for 'cargo update', particularly on a smaller project, is amazing and delightful.

Discord on a Nokia 2780!

I wrote it using a small version of my Go Discord library. It's a PWA app that also works on desktops.

The fact that Nokia locked the phone made any debugging effort near impossible. Styling for such a small screen was also quite challenging.

Still, it's a fun project that gave me insight on how to design apps for such a device. Once I can play Spotify on it, I might just make it my main phone.

Hello everyone,
I hope all are safe and well during these crazy times. I need everyone to listen up for a second, because I'm here to talk about an important safety issue that is rarely discussed. I'm talking about active shooter situations, and people with disabilities. A discussion occurred this morning between my husband who has multiple disabilities, and his worker who assist him a few times a week. She basically wants to minimize his shopping experience to keep them safe, but she went about it in the most atrocious way. We had a shooting at our local Target just down the street from us, and it is a place my husband and I have visited many times. Thankfully no one was shot, but this brings to mind a very important discussion. So far, I've seen nothing talking about active shooters and how people with disabilities and their caregivers can prepare and plan for these situations. If you have a few minutes, I'd like to point you to the following blog post I've written, both as a therapeutic writing exercise, but mainly, to share awareness of this issue. How are these caregivers being trained? Why aren't they approaching these subjects with sensitivity and respect as they should? Please read the blog post at the link below. Keep in mind I've also sent it to my local news station. Each and everyone one of us, as members of this society, have a civic duty to make sure equality isn't just a word in the dictionary. We need to step up and draw awareness to these concerns. Thank you for taking the time to read our story today. Everyone, please be safe. Many blessings.

"Pojďme Poštu využít jako to místo, které se stává dotykem státní správy pro lidi, kteří nemají digitální kompetence například.

Writing my first NVDA addon and have hit a stumbling block. If I do something like for obj in obj.parent.children in event_NVDAObjectInit, is it expected behavior for the caller, which is a member of obj.parent.children, to trigger some sort of infinite recursion where it repeatedly re-initializes itself?

Plugging away at my Steam addon. When scrolling through lists of friend activities, focus lands on things I can recognize as activities by their class, but they're on the same level as other items whose names I need to combine. But the row parents have no unique classes identifying them as activities. So AFAICT, all I can do is detect these individual classes, then look to the parent for more details. But this locks up NVDA by repeatedly re-initializing the same object, and the loop is what triggers it.

Here's my post on nvda-addons with more details: nvda-addons.groups.io/g/nvda-a…

Bing's new AI is pretty much just OpenAI (incl. ChatGPT) but with the capability of using Bing itself as a search engine, to get more up-to-date and accurate knowledge about a certain input.
It can also generate images, but it's literally just Dall-E.

I asked it to get info about my website and it seems to have copied word-for-word certain things, such as what music I enjoy (I have info about that written on my website, it just told me that exact info).

WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!

Our board just voted to rescind both the layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation at our publication—and you were a huge part of it. THANK YOU! You proved to the world that #TexasNeedsAnObserver!

@strelitzer Es scheint in der Politik üblich zu sein, dass die genannten Gründe nur vorgeschoben sind – die Agenda aber ganz andere Ziele hat. Da brauchst Du für das beste Beispiel nur nach Brüssel zu schauen. Deren "CSAM" ist eigentlich sogar das genaue Gegenteil dessen, als was es "verkauft" wird (es schützt die Kinder nicht, sondern höhlt den vorhandenen Schutz sogar noch aus).

"Wenn etwas zu gut klingt um wahr zu sein, ist es das meist auch." Skeptik ist bei Aussagen der Politik immer nötig
