Thanks to @FluidEscence, I just learned you can customize touchpad gestures. Windows has presets like volume or switching desktops, but you can also bind any hotkey to a gesture. Right now, a 3 finger tap restarts NVDA, just as a test. I never knew this was possible. makeuseof.com/windows-11-touch…

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS

eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/…

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

"The Open-Source AMD GPU Linux Kernel Graphics Driver Nears 5.8 Million Lines"

Insane is a word that comes to my mind.

That's about 33 times the size of curl - for a set of drivers.

Starting now, #curl shows extended help for a given command line option if you write it after --h. Like "curl -h --location" or "curl -h -O"

Shipping in the pending curl 8.10.0 in mid September.

#curl

If you’re a feed reader developer/contributor and want to help thousands of sites with misconfigured server caching reduce their hosting costs:

  • Support conditional-GET with Last-Modified headers.
  • Support conditional-GET with ETag headers.
  • Support the RSS ttl element in feed markup.
  • Support the syndication module in feed markup.
  • Request compressed formats (gzip and Brotli; Zstd is also becoming available now). libcurl should have support, if you’re using that.

Feeds are some of the most-requested pages on a lot of sites, and full-text feeds are often rather large. The feed-paging module helps but not everyone aggressively pages since client support is limited.

I like the idea of having one feed containing everything I’ve written, even if it isn’t the default feed. A single-file archive of my site optimized for feed readers. But if my default feed becomes paginated (the Brotli-compressed version is approaching 300kb; I’ll paginate it once it crosses 500kb), I’ll want my alternate unpaginated full-text feed to have very conservative refreshing.

I imagine a hypothetical future in which I host my site on a single-board computer on a home internet connection, and I build my site for that use-case.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this extraordinary song by the UK folk group the Young’uns. In stunning style, it tells the true story of a young man in the anti-fascist protest in London in 1936. It makes me ask myself each time, how much courage do I have?

This is my next attempt to post a thing through the trailers account.

I am aiming for …

  1. a title here, which is ‘and a one and a two’.
  2. The content, of course, which is what you should be reading now.
  3. The link at the bottom shouldn’t have a question mark in it, because the permalink should be short,
  4. and finally we need audio to work as well.

This is largely because the trailers account will be posting … well. Trailers. and the trailers are audio things.

#Wrocław und das #Viertel der gegenseitigen #Achtung.

In meinem Umfeld kam die Tage die Rede darauf. Vielleicht ist es ein #Reisetipp?

Ich war seinerzeit jedenfalls sehr beeindruckt von Janusz Witt's #Engagement für #Toleranz und Achtung.

Falls sich jemand dort umschauen sollte, ich wäre für ein #update zum #Projekt dankbar.

If you're not into Tiktok and shorts, but like your longform content, if you happen to like oldschool Rhodes and Wurli sounds from the 80's, you might like this overview I did of a recently-released product. I think it has some of the more unique sounds in the genre, and is very customisable which I demonstrate in the first 20 or so minutes. The last hour is spent going through my favourite sounds in the library, so yeah, this is a long one...

Question for those who own the Bible Courier: what TTS engine does it use? I have to admit that I'm intrigued by this device but I haven't yet seen it. Its price of $100 is just high enough that I'm not quite sure I want to order it but I am thinking about it ..

I’m not personally familiar with this product. But students in the passive owned something like this it’s usually an audio recording that’s broken up by Bible books, chapters, and verses in such a way that you can easily navigate to them using buttons. There is an awesome Amazon echo app called the Bible app skill though that works pretty good and has several different narrated Bibles. as an alternative.
