Včera sem spolubývajúci dovliekol nejakých feťákov babu a chalana. Navarili si, zožrali mi vajcia a korenie, čo by mi až tak nevadilo ale nič neupratali, akože vôbec nič. Plus sú to fetky a tie ja už toľko nemusím ako kedysi.

What's a good book that has songs in it? Either songs are a big part of the culture, magical system or plot, or characters tell their stories through song, or they just like to sing a lot? Some examples: many of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques, Princess Academy and the Book of 1000 Days by Shannon Hale, and the Books of Bayern had at least 1, the Unicorn Chronicals by Bruce Coville, and the Hobbit. You know, things that a good reader or cast could do justice to. #Bookstodon

A lot of stuff by Mercedes Lackey and friends, for example the Valdemar Series, has a strong emphasis on songs and bard. There's even some recorded music based on the songs that appears in the books, like an album called Oathbound: vows and honour.

It sure feels like the iOS 18.1 beta has some killer battery drain. Normally I don't experience battery problems during the beta cycle, but my 15 pro max is draining at an alarming rate. It still lasts most of the day, but this is Apple's best battery and it definitely used to be better. Naturally, nothing in battery settings looks suspicious at all.

It absolutely does. Though I’ve had battery issues since before the beta.

For any #Blind folks interested in volunteering for Harris/Walz or other Democratic campaigns, I'm happy to report that Scale2Win, the dialer they use for phone-banking, is entirely browser-based and works well with screen-readers. (I used VoiceOver in Safari on my iPhone.) There is a script you're encouraged to follow and interact with during calls, so having a Braille display connected helped too. Didn't talk to many actual people but still had a positive experience.

OK, those of you who use BSI on iOS 18. Did you by any chance notice some weirdnesses in certain apps, like the letters being mistyped, dots missed, etc, etc? This is after multiple dot calibrations. Not sure what to think of this. Is something happening to my fingers? But then, why it works well in some edit fields, while in others BSI totally chokes up. I really hope I don’t have to reset my settings. Thanks for any thoughts / ideas!

Hi there. Do you use VoiceOver when composing posts on Mastodon for Mac? If so, when you hit your apostrophe key, does VoiceOver read it as an apostrophe, or does it say right single quotation mark. Please let me know.

Hey there. I found a way to disable the smart quotes option in Mona for Mac. You have to go into the edit menu, and select substitutions, and then where it says checkmark and the specific smart quote or dash, just hit enter to unselect it. After that smart quotes and dashes should be turned off. I found this out through a friend of mine.

The issues you describe have always been there for me since I‘ve been using iDevices and are the reason why I‘ve never used BSI on a daily basis. A hardware braille keyboard is still the only way to go (at least for me).

Look, I do not care whether you support Trump, Harris or the man in the moon! Being disrespectful and insulting when people don't share your opinions isn't cool. We can't all agree, but we can all treat each other with kindness and respect. Ok, I'll go back down my hole now.

Cases for iPhone 16 are going to be tough for a while I've been searching for clear cases, and most are simply updated iPhone 15 cases with the same points of information. The problem with this is that the descriptions don't address how the case handles the camera control button. I just went with the official Apple one for now. I'll give the market a few months to catch up, then go searching again if I hate the Apple one. I've had an official silicone case for my 13 Mini for years, though.

The European mind cannot comprehend this:

“The University of California just announced a list of military weaponry it wants in order to escalate its warfare on its students:
3000 rounds of pepper munitions

I upgraded #GNOME #Calls to #gtk4 + #libadwaita for fun. It's now released in v47.0! Should be available soon in your #LinuxMobile distribution of choice 🚀

Massive thanks to @devrtz, @agx, @brainblasted, and Maximiliano for putting up with my beginner-level GTK skills!

The "About" screen for version 47.0 of the GNOME Calls app, running on postmarketOS on a OnePlus 6. It's an `AdwAboutDialog` which is one of the fancy responsive UI features you can only use on GTK4 apps with libadwaita.
The "What's New" screen for the GNOME Calls app. "Version 47.0: This is the first stable release of the GTK4 version." The first changelog entry is "The big one: The port to GTK4 and libadwaita! Thanks to Anton Lazarev for code and Chris, Maximiliano and Guido for reviews!"

@blindbat84 @Orinks What I would suggest you do to start with is go into the settings and turn down the music a bit at least to start. It’s really pretty and dynamic changing based on where you are but it can make things more confusing. Then, just keep doing the area scan which will reveal any materials you can collect with pings followed by a continuous sound that you can just center and move toward. After you collect a material, rinse and repeat. Eventually this will let you upgrade parts of the suit to let you drive around and eventually also fly. The other sounds you hear when you scan is a continuous rhythmic beeping for your next destination of interest which might be more prceptions you can read or a portal to the next world, and the other sounds you hear that quickly change in pitch is the terrain shape around you. So if you hear the scanner make very high pitched humming that tells you there are hills you might need to jump up to climb, while if you hear lower descending sounds that tells you there are valleys. @bscross32 did a short gameplay recording that demonstrates a lot of this in practice though his suit is already upgraded a bit which yours won’t be at first. audiopub.site/listen/f4205bca-…
