@treefit the primary goal of Akira is to offer a fast and stable UX and UI design tool. No prototypes or dev mode at first, what Sketch used to be at the beginning, built with native code and targeting Linux. The rebuild in Rust comes from a performance and inheritance necessity, as well as safety and a more appealing codebase to onboard more contributors.
For how much I love Vala, it’s still a niche language and lacks a lot of the standard libraries and tools compared to others more widespread
If you're new to Thunderbird, helping someone get started, or were just curious, we explain not only how Thunderbird's spam filters work, but our tips and tricks for putting them to work to keep your inbox spam and junk free. 📧
Since few days ago, at my workplace, I cannot use Thunderbird anymore since they shutdown IMAP/SMTP logins. At home I had to install Evolution to be able to use f*in' M$365 account. Since, I believe, Evolution is open-source, why can't Thunderbird use it's technology and support Exchange/M$365 accounts? I love new Thunderbird interface, and Evolution gives me Thunderbird v45.x vibe.. or worse.
@phanecak načítal som to celé... bol nepríjemný na zdravotníkov a potom napadol policajtov, potiaľ mi to stačilo. Také klasické Slovenské, určite aspoň 10x spomenul koho je syn.
Lebo vsak, p. Fico si ide uz 4. Vladu, a super fasa chytry aj pracovity je, len mu to furt ktosi kazi. (A furt sa pride na to, ze ti co boli volakedy jeho favoriti a terazky uz nie su, ze kradli. Ale o tom po tom.)
Omlouvam se ze to tu nejelo, ale meli jsme tady "trosku" problem s vodou, elektrinou, internetem, plynem a tak vubec ... Nastesti me se velka voda vyhla asi o 50m a mam jen vytopeny sklep.
Sorry for instance not working, but floods happened ...
@archos já už teď jen čekám na čerpadlo … v sobotu mi odešlo. Hned jsem objednal, ale z pochopitelných důvodu alza ještě nedovezla. Snad zítra 🤷♂️ Hasiči mají o dost důležitější práci než odčerpávat můj sklep.
I've recently taken to adding a direction tag to benches in #OpenStreetMap. My convention is that the tag value corresponds to the direction of view.
Delighted to find that @vespucci_editor now shows (single) direction values, but wished I'd known about the whizzy direction tag gadget which uses the phone's compass yesterday. (It's a bit too clever if adding the values in retrospect.)
@pietervdvn thanks, but I'll stick with @vespucci_editor . I now have an excuse to sit on benches to record the direction, rather than just heeding to catch my breath
possibly the most unnecessary audio-description commentary in the episode last night. This is from Nightsleeper, a 6-part BBC thriller that started on Sunday.
@DerryLawlor I suppose in this case the wagon was on a train, so we need to know the train didn't explode but the wagon did. Just amuses me though. In general, the description's very useful I think. Love me a good TV drama!
I had no idea that the BBC logo is visible in the video here. I kinda assumed that, like the audio (discounting the descriptive track for the blind of course), the entire visual experience of a scene was diegetic, barring subtitles, onscreen text and so forth. #TodayILearned. #BlindProblems
@sarajw The wagon that exploded was on a train, so perhaps it'll be relevant if we see the same train later on. Without more description I don't know if the train is safe or not, but obviously can't see the visual to know if that was communicated to the rest of the audience.
Description often breaks atmosphere, particularly with jump scares in horror we find. It's necessary much of the time, but I do wish I could have it in my ear rather than mixed into the whole family audio feed that we share.
In that clip you posted - it looks like the gas wagons that exploded may have been on another train, which had just gone over the points of a junction - and was clipped by the speeding train where they're showing the interior with all the panicking people.
Mind you, that's from watching that very short clip several times now - not sure all that context would have been caught visually - depends what came before and after it...
@sarajw I admire the describers - it's incredibly hard to know what to comment on, particularly if you haven't seen the rest of an episode or something.
The most inessential and hence humorous bit of audio description I've encountered still goes to the movie Juno. Dog: Woof, woof. Cast member: Shut up! Pause. Audio describer: The dog does what it's told.
Please enjoy @pluralistic Cory Doctorow's fantastic presentation on taking back the internet from last month at #DEFCON32. Cory's takes are always thoughtful, provocative and it was his deshittification concept that helped inspire the DC32 theme. More videos from #defcon coming soon. As always, pass it on.

my recommendation is to get a gold medal from some kind of local hot shot. That can give the family a clue that maybe what you do has a relevance in the world 😁
That's amazing! Curl is indeed everywhere. Now to monetise it, charge 1€ for each device which uses curl - if only eh? Just thinking, "smart" speakers would likely use curl also, I'd bet there's more that 50M of them.
Wow. What about POS terminals. Is imagine they use curl too. It's never ending. Would be amazing to know what % of electronic devices use curl. I'd bet it's a high %.
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
September 16, 2024- Time Magazine: “Did the Pandemic Break Our Brains?” “COVID-19 has been linked to serious cognitive problems, including dementia and suicidal thinking. And brain fog, a common symptom of Long COVID, can be so profound that people are unable to live the lives and work the jobs they once did.” “.. leading hypotheses suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may cause persistent inflammation in the brain, damage to blood vessels in the brain, immune dysfunction so extreme it affects the brain, or perhaps a combination of all the above. Studies have even found that people’s brains can shrink after having COVID-19, a change potentially associated with cognitive issues.” - time.com/7021575/covid-pandemi…

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.

Yeah, #Boeing employees are on strike in union plants (non-union ones are still working).
However, what is interesting is that Boeing’s quality issues started around 1997 after an acquisition/merger with a problematic company. Great article by @NPR!

in reply to AkiraUX • • •what are the current goals of @akiraux ? what were the problems with the old codebase you are trying to solve by starting from scratch?
BTW great to see the project development continues! 🤩
