Hoy toca canción en italiano. Me acuerdo de ella porque cuando iba con mi tío Fernando, solía poner una cinta de canciones italianas, de las que solo 2 o 3 me quedaron en la memoria. Esta parece ser que es una versión moderna de una canción popular mucho más antigua. Porta Romana: youtube.com/watch?v=-uDJ2ZDIda…
Sí, no solo añade y cambia letra sino también parte de la música. Parece como si estuviera metiendo la canción popular con una mezcla de otra cosa. Esta creo que es más fiel. youtube.com/watch?v=GBtfIx5ku8…
The Council of Europe has made a #treaty on #AI (Treaty number 225), open to other signatories, and has been joined by the US and other countries. I've taken a quick look, and while it's mostly fluff (AI shall be used for good and not evil type stuff) there are a couple of useful bits.
There's a risk framework that states have to set up, to consider the graduated risks of AI in different areas. A possibility for a moratorium of AI use in specific high-risk areas. An obligation that, where AI is used to make decisions, people affected can challenge them and be given an understanding of the systems involved. There's also an obligation to assure to people that they are notified they are communicating with an AI rather than a human.
I found a clip of me, age twelve, and ran it through an Eleven Labs voice I made last week, when my voice was mmuch deeper than usual. I used speech-to-speech to super-impose the characteristics of twelve-year-old me against current me, 28 years later. So, this is perhaps what I might have sounded like if I kept my thick southern accent, and decided to work for a country radio station.

Finally! NVDA 2025.1 will be able to recognize and announce same page links, and buttons which point to text on the same page. It's part of Alpha 33850, and can be disabled, if desired, in NVDA's Document Formatting settings pane. So issue #141, opened on Jan 1, 2010, is closed. Thanks to everyone who helped materialize this: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue…
@JustinMac84 Yeah - that would also be cool. My guess is that either the BrowserNav add-on or the NVDA Global Commands Extension add-on allows these though I might be mistaken. @NVAccess
@JustinMac84 We do have an issue at github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… - so do comment on that - and also, noted in that, the Global Extensions add-on does provide this functionality in the meantime.
@JustinMac84 True. This issue affects many aspects of NVDA. For instance, I really want to see the functionality of the ColumnsReview add-on integrated into the NVDA core.
@JustinMac84 There is an issue for clickable at least, I haven't looked at columns review's functionality, but feel free to create an issue if there isn't already one at github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… - re what gets built in and what's an add-on - essentially we try to ensure the most important functionality for the largest user base is built in - there will always be things some people see as vital others don't use - and some which are add-ons we simply haven't got to addin in.
ColumnsReview provides 10+1 gestures to read and copy the list columns header and content. It's also built into JAWS. However, the functionality provided by ColumnsReview is more powerful and useful than the one found in JAWS, List items, for instance, can be searched via this add-on: addons.nvda-project.org/addons… @JustinMac84
There are roughly 5 hours until the "polls" close for the #Drupal Assc elections! If you haven't voted yet, look for your email from the Heliosbot and spend 5 minutes checking the box! Lets try and have record turnout for this election!
Hello people, boy do I have some news for you. So @Kaliah and I were messing around with Siri, and it had a complete A I meltdown and said the letters J, C, F, E, and X in a random order and wouldn't stop for 30 goddamn seconds. We spent like 10 minutes laughing our asses off at this. Here is the recording for proof of this completely bizarre occurance. Happy listening!
Wait a damn minute, look at that pull request discussion and the diff as committed… the CTO of #Firefox has amended #Mozilla's "Neutral" position regarding #JPEGXL to indicate that their "cost" concerns are mainly about the security risks of a decoder being 100k lines of C++, and that they would be "open to shipping" a memory-safe decoder that meets their requirements?
And some folks at Google are going to write that implementation in Rust?!
@davetaylor2112 I know and I wish I had checked that message a bit more thoroughly before I distributed it. All I can say is to email the individual mentioned in the message if you're interested in participating.
My tech skills are average. I thought about getting the BrailleSense because people have said that one of them could potentially have a dtropbox app. Can you tell me which one that is?
@kjw810 Sure, no problem. I don't use any of the blindness-specific players anymore, at least not hardware players. However, with all of the frustrations I'm having with Voice Dream Reader, I'm tempted to get an Evo12; at least its interface is likely not to unexpectedly change and make it difficult for me to load books. 😀
The EVO 12 is OK. I guess my favorite was the Bookport Plus. But I would want the Braille Sense for its Braille capabilities, if it really can access dropbox.
@kjw810 the Bookport Plus was a great player. It was a modified Plextalk Pocket. I loved what APH did to it but it's no longer available and the Evo is still more inexpensive. It doesn't play protected Daisy books but most of the books I've been reading aren't in that format, anyway.
I use Edlin when I want to write something quickly, like a test program or a brief note.
Edlin is also very useful if you want to capture some commands into a FreeDOS batch file— you can write the new batch file while any commands you ran are still visible on the screen.
