Why do we still call it a "phone" when we use the flash from the camera as a flashlight at least 1000Ć more often than the phone app?
Yes, I'm using Mastodon on my flashlight.
@hub It's a "consumption rectangle", for large pockets only, I guess.
Or a "magic glass brick" where everyone rubs the glass as if it were a magic lamp with a genie, except the electric genie in our "phone" shows us cat videos and ads instead of wishes.
Politische Karikatur:
Ein kleiner Mann im Anzug zu einem grƶĆeren Mann mit wenig Haaren, auch im Anzug, wahrscheinlich Merz:
āChef, orientieren wir uns in der Migrationspolitik am Grundgesetz?ā
Antwort: āJetzt werden wir mal nicht konservativā.
An der Wand ein GemƤlde von wahrscheinlich Merkel aber mit einem schwarzen Streifen in der Ecke als sei sie tot.
Hinter den beiden MƤnnern ein groĆes Fenster, typisch fĆ¼r BĆ¼ros.
Unter dem GemƤlde eine Zimmerpalme.

From my #inbox
Okay, so after my successful move from mas.to, it's time for a little intro. Basically it's an extended version of my profile description.
I'm a blind guy living in the eastern part of Slovakia, working as Sysadmin. I'm happily married, rather introverted, a cat lover, who enjoys simple moments, such as having a coffee or a drink with my loved ones. I'm passionate about music (listening and mixing), #FMDX, reading both text and audio books in English, Slovak, and Czech. I used to do a lot of OS tinkering (Linux, Windows and Android), but now I prefer the things to be stable and working, rather than experimenting with everything. I prefer the non-proprietary open source stuff whenever possible, but I'm not strict about it.
I'm not a frequent poster, but I do participate in things that interest me.
For more details on my hobbies, see my profile description. Feel free to contact me if you think we have something in common.
I have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..."
And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??
I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging š¶
And it was a comment on a post about Starbucks being terrible, their CEO being terrible, and them doing terrible union busting! And this... This is what someone chose to write as a JUSTIFICATION to get Starbucks even though they thought they probably shouldn't?
I am... Collapsing into a black hole. Just. Fuck.
Is there anything stopping Starlink from delivering uncensored cell service to China / Russia / North Korea?
The answer is probably "money", but I can imagine some democratic government sponsoring a project like that in the future.
It'd be extremely funny if Musk turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to free speech after all.
The new Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, is going to commute to the office 3 days a week by private jet.
Don't forget to take your reusable cup to the coffee shop!

Automatic contact discovery is a game changing feature! I think I will try it as soon as possible!
Currently I try to avoid #ios, because it's a #GoldenPrison. I know it is hard to achieve discoverability, but making a client that "phone home" to quicksy.im telling "I am number xyz" feels like a trick, a shortcut. But I couldn't find any other way.

One really important Linux thing I learned this week is why insecure people do this behaviour:
*eye roll* just boot from stick/just build your own module/just roll your own server/just invent time travel/just impregnate a unicorn/I can't believe you even had to ask
It's because giving the real answer to a request for instructions would involve admitting that workflow takes you-the-expert 50 steps, they're different every time, they're highly context dependant and involve a lot of embarrassingly arbitrary magic spells.
That shit is hard to explain. It's embarrassing not being instantly able to explain something when you're already insecure. Much less shameful to pretend the thing "just happens".

Ah Ha!
Many thanks for that 'update'. I was aware of the triple usage. Also available as a hairdressing option 
I did get them all confused. I first heard of the MIT version of Curl. Really liked its inherent speed (totally dependent on doing the computing on the clients side)
So for example ray tracing could be done in real time. At the time this was something. Now of course it is commonplace.
Thanks again for the #linc
Das wird diesmal ein #FahrradFreitag in @fahrradkoeln!
Die #cmcologne startet wie gewohnt um 18h am #Rudolfplatz in #Kƶln
Alternativ gibt's die Lesung von @SheDrivesMobility um 18.30h an der Uni
Eine kurze Begegnung der #CMKoeln und #katjadiehl ist geplant!
Egal wofĆ¼r ihr euch entscheidet, Teilnahme hier oder da ist ein Weg zur #Autokorrektur #VisonZero #RespectCyclists
Weitersagen, insbesondere in die weiteren #sozialeMedien, ist erwĆ¼nscht.

Wer Ć¼ber das #Klima schreibt, sich mit dem Klima beschƤftigt, hat hƤufig und zu Recht das GefĆ¼hl, es passiert zu wenig, wir kriegen nicht mehr die Kurve und alles wird den Bach runter gehen.
So wahr das ist, mit einer negativen Einstellung ist es leider auch schwerer Leute zu Ć¼berzeugen.
Bei meiner Arbeit im #Handwerk sehe ich oft das Gegenteil: Wer ein Dach/Haus mit ƶkologischen Baustoffen wie #Holz und #Lehm saniert, hat es im Sommer kĆ¼hler, im Winter wƤrmer und hat langfristig sehr geringe #Heizkosten und braucht keine #Klimaanlage
Gleichzeitig wird es schƶner und gesĆ¼nder dort zu wohnen, die LebensqualitƤt steigt.
Ćhnlich ist es ja fast Ć¼berall: Mehr #Fahrrad und ĆPNV, weniger Auto bedeutet: Mehr LebensqualitƤt, grĆ¼nere StƤdte, mehr Gesundheit.
Weniger KurzstreckenflĆ¼ge und mehr Zugreisen bedeutet weniger LƤrm
Eine Landschaft ohne Tagebaue und einer Luft ohne Abgase. FlĆ¼sse, in denen alle bedenkenlos baden kƶnnen.
Das ist kein Verzicht. Das ist das gute Leben fĆ¼r alle.
"Ja, wir kƶnnten jetzt was gegen den Klimawandel tun, aber wenn wir dann in 50 Jahren feststellen wĆ¼rden, dass sich alle Wissenschaftler doch vertan haben und es gar keine KlimaerwƤrmung gibt, dann hƤtten wir vƶllig ohne Grund dafĆ¼r gesorgt, dass man selbst in den StƤdten die Luft wieder atmen kann, dass die FlĆ¼sse nicht mehr giftig sind, dass Autos weder Krach machen noch stinken und dass wir nicht mehr abhƤngig sind von Diktatoren und deren Ćlvorkommen. Da wĆ¼rden wir uns schƶn Ƥrgern."

@Jage We still only break add-ons once a year. We have just released NVDA 2024.3, which most users should be on. Following that, we have released the first beta of NVDA 2024.4, which adventurous users may want to try.
Having branched for that beta means we can start integrating the previously planned potentially add-on breaking updates into alpha - which is targeted at NVDA 2025.1 (so, a release & a half from now). No shortening of the cycle, just lots of heads up time for add-on devs :)

in reply to Tuta • • •I really like @Mojeek tbh but I'd say I get good results less than 50% of the time. I try to give feedback to help whenever I can. I love their "focus" feature.
I also realised we sometimes know on which site we want to search so I created a bunch of alias to different websites and I use them. If I want something about public services for example, I have a shortcut to search on the governmental website of my country.

in reply to Mojeek • • •@Mojeek One example, I use a website called Refquest regularly. When I type Refquest into Mojeek the results have a refquest.com result as the third result and itās the privacy page. I just want the main website.
This happens on a lot of results. When there is a direct .com or .co.uk, etc website I get a bunch of stuff from other sites way before the actual site. And the result from the actual site isnāt the main landing page of the site.

in reply to Probably depressed • • •@jrod3737 thanks a lot, we're aware of issues when it comes to ranking homepages as the top result returned in the cluster (Mojeek is 1 result/site unless you change clustering in Preferences).
I've raised this as an example of that - something we're working on.
