To see my own text and logic happening in front of me on my old DOS-based offline system was pretty magical in the 1990's.
“The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives, people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.).

I know Unity bundled curl ~6 years ago, and as far as I can tell it's still there (judging by the amount of "curl error"s thrown by UnityWebRequest that people complain about).
Unity's fallen out of favour lately, but I'd wager it has at least a few billion historical installations on mobile alone

🎑 中秋節快樂 🥮
추석 잘 보내세요
Chúc Tết Trung thu
The 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese lunisolar calendar marks the #MidAutumnFestival, when families from East Asia gather to enjoy gazing at the full moon 🌕. This year, it falls on September 17.
While the #MoonCake is a shared tradition among many East Asian cultures, others like barbecue and pomelo is unique to #Taiwan.

The seasons are changing and I am feeling it.
Looking for a new role as Sr. Staff or Principal SWE to work on a product. Remote or hybrid (Berlin area). Open Source is a big plus.
Bringing +20 years of experience in Engineering, especially around standards, processes and software architecture to the table.
I love DX, enabling people and AIDD (AI driven development).
So, if you look for someone to transform and lead your engineering department, let me know.
Sharing is caring.
ahoj, fediverse!
I'm doing a little experiment #selfhosting a single-user instance
I'm also @asl
Not sure what account I will ultimately roll with, but just following everyone in both places to stress test if the potato hosting this can handle federation 😅

I feel like in iOS 18, certain VoiceOver pauses are longer, like the one between the name of a control and its role. As an example, find the "VPN" option in Settings. The pause between "VPN" and "not connected" is huge. The pause between "not connected" and "button", less so, but still longer than it was before (I think).
Here's hoping that one day, Apple will make this a configurable option. Naturally, for at least one version of iOS after they do, the increased customisation will mean control names aren't spoken or something equally broken. But then it will be great.
A setting I believe is new in iOS 18 that I haven't seen mentioned: VoiceOver -> Rotor -> Change Rotor with Item, the description for which reads:
"Changes the selected rotor based on the VoiceOver-focused item."
This sounds like a great thing to turn off in certain activities, e.g. the rotor switching to "Actions" each time you swipe in Mail or Dystopia can be frustrating. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be one of the settings that's editable on a per-activity basis, limiting its usefulness. I'm not sure I want to turn it off system-wide.
(Edit: this apparently isn't new in iOS 18, just new to me.)
I think per-activity configuration is a hard problem to solve, mainly from a user experience/workflow perspective. There are still certain parts of NVDA config profiles that constantly trip people up, for example, and many of them without obvious solutions.
Having said that, Apple's decision to explicitly define a subset of settings that can go in an activity seems like the wrong way to do it. It only leads to fragmentation, and the feature being far less amenable to creativity than it otherwise could be.
The VO utility approach seems the most sensible.
Create an activity, choose which settings categories should be different for that activity, have the ability to display the settings panes for these categories in an activity context to change the settings.
The NVDA approach is fundamentally broken.
Activities sound like they should work more of the time than they do because context is key.
As an example, activities include an "audio ducking option", the options for which in iOS 18 are: "Default", "On", or "Off". In other words, the new ducking modes exposed by the rotor haven't made it into the activities system, because it's isolated and fragmented from the rest of the screen reader.
It requires Apple to explicitly opt aspects of behaviour into activity readiness, and make a new UI for their configuration even though one already exists elsewhere. The result, unsurprisingly for something that relies on humans to put in extra work, is activities feeling like an outdated island, or a feature that's still very immature.

Tech Company executive Larry Ellison: "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," Larry Ellison said, describing what he sees as the benefits from automated oversight from AI and automated alerts for when crime takes place. "We're going to have supervision," he continued. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person."
We've already had two external contributions to Thunderbird Appointment after just a short time of the repo being public (also already 178 stars)!
Written in Python, we'd love to have more contributions. Come and join us. Jump in - the water's fine!
I just added Live Recognition to the VO rotor. Very interesting.
