Průzkum: Volby by v srpnu vyhrálo ANO, do sněmovny by se dostalo pět stran

Tvl SPD 11% 🤦‍♂️

in reply to Archos

A já se tomu ale vůbec nedivím. Vsak už jsem to psala, že ta laxnost koalice co se voleb týče je otřesná. Všude jen agresivní kampaň SPD, ANO, PRO, STAČILO a nejvíce tedy SPD a STAČILO. O koalici jsem ještě na cestách nenarazila. A mě osobně už nějaká osobní snaha pomoci Pirátům taky už nějak přechází. Proč se snažit, když jim to nějak žíly netrhá 🤔 navíc nelegální polep je u nich reputační riziko 🤷‍♀️

De todos modos, lo de la elección de qué #tecla quitar para que quepa el teclado en el portátil es todo un tema.

¿Quitar el teclado numérico como en los HP de la consejería?
¿Convertir arriba y abajo en medias teclas?
¿reducir el tamaño de shift?
¿Eliminar insert y/o printscreen?

Yo antes no lo hacia, pero ahora miro mucho el #teclado antes de comprar un #portátil. Reentrenar la memoria muscular es muy complicado.

in reply to MicroBlog Castellano

Yo llegué a devolver un portátil por temas de distribución de teclado. No tenía la tecla del mayor/menor que, insertar, aplicaciones... Así se complicaba mucho la vida. El mismo día lo llevé de vuelta a la tienda. Ahora procuro mirarlo con antelación, pero no es tan fácil comprando a distancia.


Very impressive project: a 12 hours radio programme on #Palestine featuring history lectures, poem readings, music and more. Mostly in English with some Arabic readings too.

In collab with Radio Alhara featuring sounds from the 1970s onwards.

the haitians & cats racist meme in the us is interesting to me because is this a template for scaremongering new migrants? when i was a wee child, in the PJ of the 1980s (so if yk the racial mix yk la), i legit heard this being said of the indonesian migrant workers. hmm.

@Shunra (like, in singapore, the mainland chinese intermixed with the more bougie sg chinese have totally led to this meme about them being sooooo sensitive to the smell of curry cooking - mainly because they've been known to complain to apartment admin or even the police too, wtf)

Okay. Okay! The web browser I wrote today is now working! Except for the web browser part.

I will do the web browser part of the web browser tomorrow
in reply to mcc

This is not a joke, I am creating a command line browser (a la lynx, w3m, links) based on servo, which I am calling Cuervo because command-line servo. So far you can bring up a dialog box to enter a URL, choose to either enter a URL or abort, and if you launch with LANG=es the interface is in Spanish. This is actually not that bad for one day considering at the start of the day I literally just had the ratatui "popup" sample and nothing else!

Jo a víte jak nám předělávají tu kotelnu, že jo?
Tak starý kotel už dávno leží rozřezaný na kousíčky. Ale ten nový, ten nový nám budou prý montovat až někdy v říjnu. 🤣🤣🤣
A pak budou muset ještě opravit ten navazující komín.

Normalize not having an opinion on things you don’t understand.

You're allowed to say, “I don't know enough about this to have an opinion on it.”

@matt I don't have any opinions about accessibility, I don't understand it. I'm not disabled, I just write Android apps


If I try to download an NVDA add-on using the one for the Spanish add-ons store I get an error message about SSL certificates.
This also seems to happen when any add-on tries to download something that isn't from NV Access's site.
Any idea why this is happening?
@NVAccess #nvda #blind @mastoblind
in reply to Kara Goldfinch

Kara, do you mean you are trying to update a particular add-on you side-loaded from the Spanish site, or you are using the latest alpha and set the mirror to use to the Spanish site?

Either way, could you give me more details please / which add-on / site / versions / steps to repro, etc? Thanks!

in reply to NV Access

The Spanish store has their own add-on to access it, and I was trying to download an add-on using that.

The release of #GNOME47 is imminent and our #translators have done their usual amazing work! There was a lot of #Accessibility work this cycle and #translations are a big part of that.

With a few days left, this is a great cycle to improve the user experience for non-English #ScreenReader and #Braille users.

@Quenti Yeah, we have a GitLab script that can do release notes, but we don't have a strong project-wide standard commit messages.

Detailed changelogs can take a lot of time, but i'll make an extra effort in future :)

Ich schwanke zwischen #gruselig und #abartig. Werde ich nach dem Einsteigen dann vom #Ford gefragt, ob ich der Verarbeitung meiner Stimme zustimme und muss bei Ablehnung aussteigen oder die Karre fährt nicht bzw. geht einfach aus?

@strelitzer Bei Ablehnung kann er Dir dann leider nicht alle Dienste vollumfänglich anbieten. Es geht dann nur der rechte Blinker sowie Fahren im ersten Gang. Es leuchtet im Fahrzeug dann ein rotes (auweia: Roooxanne…) Licht, und die Abfrage wird alle 5 Minuten wiederholt – weil als Antwort nur "Ja" und "später fragen" zur Verfügung stehen… 🙊 💨
in reply to Strelitzer™

@strelitzer Davon ist (leider) auszugehen. Ist ja auch voll im Trend: Du "kaufst" etwas, aber es gehört Dir dann nicht wirklich. Und wenn ich so an Kindle denke (das Tablet, nicht das Bier): möglich dass Du einen Aufpreis zahlen musst, wenn Du den Crap nicht haben willst. Im Blick auf so manches "Abo-Modell ohne Werbung" wird der Aufpreis dann natürlich deutlich höher ausfallen als die Werbeeinnahmen…
in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅

Nur sinnvoll, wenn sie überall Autos aufstellen, alle von Ford und neu wären, und die nicht nur mithören, was drinnen gesprochen wird.

Poly folks question. It’s typical of monogamous couples to refer to each other as my “other half.” Are any of you referring to each other, even jokingly, by other fractions…?

Google has wreaked havoc with TalkBack 15.0. When the Gemini description feature is enabled, you can't have access to offline text extraction. And under this circumstance, if your Internet connection is weak or lost for whatever reason, you won't have access to any sort of image description or text extraction at all. Moreover, even if Gemini description is disabled, labels for unlabeled icons are read with a 2 or 3-second delay whereas they were announced instantly with TalkBack 14.2 and 14.1. And on my S24 Ultra, if I disable Gemini description, local/offline text extraction oftentimes fails. That is, TalkBack reports the recognition accuracy, but doesn't announce or read the extracted text at all. Is Google aware of all of these? I don't know. Who makes these stupid decisions at Google? I don't know. Does beta-testing play a meaningful role in TalkBack development? Not sure.

Super random query of the day to my blind followers. Do sounds ever have textures to you? This has happened to me for almost as long as I can remember, and I'm actually not 100% sure if it started before or after I completely lost my vision, but I just excepted it as a fact of life for so many years. Yeah, of course that particular synthesizer making that particular sound feels like a car tire to me, or of course that box getting dropped in the kitchen felt like the same material our mantel is made out of. Is this just me this happens to? I wonder if it's like some weird form of synesthesia?

Hmm, what license to release my game engine under... :neocat_think:

Any suggestions, fedi?

in reply to ch0ccyra1n

I’d suggest MPL for non-viral copyleft if you want to remain fairly permissive. It means people should share modifications to your game engine but need not license derivative works (games) under MPL.

I would definitely choose a license that contains a patent idemnification clause because of how many patents exist in this space. Nothing more permissive than Apache.
