If you like fun, geeky, Linuxy videos, check out @veronicaexplains on tinkerbetter.tube! Sure, she's got a YouTube channel but between the ad-blocking fights and the preroll ads and the midroll ads and the postroll ads and the lack of privacy and a few other reasons...

Why watch her on YouTube if you have another choice?

While I know the economics don't work for everyone, I'd love to see more YouTubers do this. Post the videos on YouTube, sure. But it's not like it needs to be an exclusive agreement between the creator and the audience.

@amir The only time I've had NVDA crash in the last year or so has been when I've been specifically testing something someone has reported which makes NVDA crash. Many of the crashes I've seen reported have either been edge cases the majority of users wouldn't encounter, or caused by add-ons - which is not to say neither of those is important - but I think overall, NVDA is stable for most users is most situations

@amir I agree with NVAccess on this one. Yes, "never" is likely not technically true, but most people use "never" to actually mean "not often enough to register with me as a problem". Ever since Firefox was updated to fix the freezing problem, I've only had NVDA freeze or crash when I spammed it with text in cmd due to a bad script, and there are tickets on that already. Outside of that, I've had good stability.

Malaysians are such that this year's Michelin announcement of more additions from Malaysia has barely registered - I only saw it days back from my news feed, and I've yet to see it gone even mildly viral. Compared to last year, but mainly it was in the disbelieving tones of, what the fuck is this, and, if this makes the list where the fuck have they been eating, and, cheh KL Penang only Bib Gourmand only, and not to forget, well ok that's one more place we'll just let the tourists and expats go. Hater game strong 🤣 (I'll probably check them out... When I remember to. That said, quite a bit I can't go to anyway which just means I'll forget hahahaha) #TootSEA #Malaysia

Vláda se odhodlala zmrazit ruský státní majetek na území Česka

Vláda schválila přidání podniku pro správu ruského majetku v zahraničí na národní sankční seznam. Podnik v Česku provozuje a spravuje mnoho nemovitostí, které jsou majetkem Ruské federace, převážně v Praze nebo Karlových Varech.

Happy 83rd birthday to synth godmother and transgender icon Wendy Carlos!

#wendycarlos #botd #transgender

Edit: I failed-ish, that was a photo of not Wendy leaning over a synth, mislabelled. I've subbed a photo of actually Wendy (I think, I trust nothing now) and placed the photo of Roger Joseph Manning Jr in the comments. Really cool that Wendy's getting so much love on Mastodon ❤

@paco No, that is not correct. When you use Tutanota only the hash of your password is transmitted to our server and the server can not derive the real password from the hash - but still log you in. We would never transmit the real password, that's an absolute no go in terms of security. Read more on this here: tuta.com/security

Report z *Veletrhu pracovních příležitostí*: zastavila jsem se u několika stánků zajímavých firem, popovídala si s jejich personalisty, vyplnila jejich dotazníky, rozdala životopisy, přihlásila se do výběrového řízení ve veřejné správě, zasoutěžila si a vyhrála pár reklamních kravinek...

Takže očekávám, že příští týden mi bude telefon vyzvánět jako o život, až mi budou z oslovených firem volat, že mě všichni chtějí 😀🙃

…HUH. Long-COVID destroys synapses, and is a major contributor to the brainfog. nature.com/articles/s41380-022…

This goes some way to shining a light on the promising results they've been seeing in testing nicotine patches as treatment for long covid: nicotine effects synapse formation and receptivity (tests using patches because they don't habit-form and aren't, y'know, SMOKE [bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com/a…]).

But what's super interesting to me is that another thing that's also been shown to encourage synapse growth? Is psilocybin.

ICQ vs Teams. So very true. I'm probably going to have to get a new work computer with days of reconfig cos so much is not saved properly in our profiles cos Teams just Cannot Cope and is eating 97% of the RAM constantly even when not in a video call.

Image now ALT texted. I thought it was described but re-seeing my boost in timeline the image wasn't described, so can only assume I was having a stupid last night and you get this post instead.

ICQ vs Microsoft Teams ICQ is represented by a famous meme dog (I don't know what it's called) which has huge arms like a boxer with the ICQ logo over it. Teams is represented by a different famous meme dog (which I also can't name) which is small and miserable looking. Under the ICQ dog are the words "Find anyone on earth and send direct file transfers in 50 different chats on a 486 (computer) with 4MB RAM using a 14400 baud modem. Under Teams dog are the words: "I ran out of memory while loading your username".

Pro změnu už zase svítí sluníčko.

Přátelé, za 24 hodin vyhlásím víkend. Těšte se! Včetně @archos'e!

Na víkend už se taky určitě těší moje češtinářka ze střední, kterou jsem potkal před chvílí při cestě z práce.
Vůbec se nezměnila. Stále její obličej říká: „Jsem nasraná na celý svět.“

Taková byla i před čtyřmi lety, ale její hodiny mě velmi bavily. Možná proto si pamatuju věci jako Gazdina roba, Její Pastorkyňa, Gabriela Preissová, Zamřížované zrcadlo, Petrolejové lampy, Staré ženy, ...

Po asi ctyrech letech jsem si zahral Nova Drift (novadrift.io). Fascinuje me, jak ji jeden clovek dokaze dlouhodobe rozvijet. Pritom bez DLC nebo subscriptions. Stari hraci, jako ja, uz mu zadne penize neprinaseji.

Tak to alespon nasdilim a snad si to nekdo koupi.

Skoda, ze takovych dlouhodobe vyvyjenych her neni mnohem vic.
