So jetzt mal ehrlich ihr #Fedinauten da draußen, die ihr #Misskey, #Sharkey oder #Iceshrimp nutzt! Wieso nutzt ihr das, was ihr nutzt und was findet ihr besser im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Fedi-Möglichkeiten?

Bin auf der Suche nach einer weiteren Fedi-Software, die ich mir genauer anschauen möchte und muss mich zwischen den dreien entscheiden.

Gerne darf dieser Beitrag zur Entscheidungsfindung geteilt werden. 😜

I was told that the output I would likely get on most of the triple 7 controls would be bogus, and that currently the mcp speed box does not work. Until I can actually fly a test sector with it, we'll be doing the 737-900 ER



Hey all, I'm excited to be presenting next week at #UbuntuSummit ( events.canonical.com/event/51/…). The goal is to demonstrate an all #OpenSource creative toolkit. Will be talking @Blender @inkscape @GIMP @krita @kdenlive #Scribus #webstudio @penpot. Any others you like?

The EU #TaxTheRich petition has failed to gather 1 million signatures. Germany, France and Denmark were the only countries to cross the line. That tells you how many people can actually be mobilised for real change to our system. I am very disappointed. eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/… 1/3

I signed and promoted, and yes, I am disappointed too. If a low-effort aciton like this has so little success, a European general strike or something like that is a world away.

Probably going to be streaming again today. Most likely the PMDG tripple 7. I have never flown this particular aircraft before, and I will absolutely fly it like the 737. I also know that accessibility is a WIP, so there are some things I simmply cannot do.
in reply to aaron

That'll be fun. I'd fly myself but I currently can't afford Navigraph which is absolutely required to fly. But I love watching flights so I might be on there.
in reply to Rook

@rooktallon You can fly without it, so long as you can check your sid/star waypoints and program them yourself. Not ideal but can be done.
@Rook
in reply to aaron

Do you have a yoke? Or do you use an Xbox controller like I do?
in reply to Rook

@rooktallon I use a keyboard at the moment, but I do want a throttle quadrant and yoak
@Rook
in reply to aaron

Either this or the 737-900 ER, that I already know how to fly.

@drew Out of interest, do you know if there is a deliberate a reason WhatsApp UWP has the emoji and add attachment buttons between the message list and the input box? That makes it less efficient to get between the two, which is a pretty regular thing. I can easily work around this with the WhatsAppPlus NVDA add-on, but I always prefer things to be better out of the box, so thought I'd ask. Could those buttons be positioned after the input box instead?
in reply to Jamie Teh

+1 to this.
having input and outputnext to each other in the tab order is far more logical to my mind, particularly given that you can press return to send.
in reply to Sean Randall

Thanks for this! I’ll see what I can do, can’t make any promises though🙁

In general, how big a priority would you put on having fewer tabs to get you to where you want to go? This is a place where WCAG falls down a bit IMO because it emphasizes following the visual order, which can clutter things up.

in reply to Drew Mochak

the visual order makes no sense if you need to interact with the list of messages in this case.

No digo que no tengáis razón los que decís que el gasto en subvenciones al alquiler habría que meterlo en inspecciones. A largo plazo, sería lo mejor. Pero esto, ¿que implica?

Para empezar, modificación de las RPTs correspondientes, para lo que hay que ir a negociación colectiva, obtener informes preceptivos varios, dotar las plazas presupuestariamente, y de forma consolidable (con lo que se necesitarían hacer modificaciones presupuestarias al capítulo I), sacar la oferta de empleo público (que es anual), convocar, nombrar tribunal, y hacer las pruebas selectivas, resolver recursos, llamar a nombramientos, dar tomas de posesión...

Si se hace en 2 años, es con suerte.

in reply to modulux

lo malo es que se ha demostrado que las ayudas al alquiler directamente van a una subida en igual cuantía del precio a pagar y al final estamos como antes a costa de perder dinero público en subvencionar al rentista.
in reply to Juan CBS

Sí, no digo que sea una buena solución; ni siquiera una solución. Simplemente que es difícil resolver el tema rápido por cualquier vía.

Happy thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends. We aren't big on Turky, so dinner tonight will be a boneless leg of lamb done on the smoker, mashed potatoes and stuffing.


i grew up surrounded by people who read books by self-help and project-management gurus, from teachers to relatives. I’m critical of much of the overcomplicated advice that gets published by them. one of the only self-help or project-management mantras i sincerely believe in is SMART goals.

Any time I make a goal that I haven’t made sure is specific, measurable, attainable/realistic, for which I’m responsible by a given time, I fail. Silly acronyms that spell out relevant words are supposed to be bullshit but this is somehow the ultimate exception.

“work out more often” fails. “try this light five-day exercise regiment, fitting it into your schedule on these days, and write down what was too easy to ramp up next week” works.

“clean the house regularly” fails. “clean the counter until it’s smooth, at this time tomorrow, within 15 minutes, and reward myself with some blueberries if i finish in time before moving onto the next cleaning task” works.

With ADHD it’s impossible for me to be productive at something without obsessively SMART-ing my way through it. I’ve tried everything and this is the only thing that’s stuck. I’m amazed that such a silly corpo acronym for increasing team productivity is actually 100% legit.

Sensitive content

in reply to Seirdy

seriously. SMART covers all the ways I wriggle out of tasks.

  • “where do i begin”: specific.
  • “will I ever be have done enough”: measurable.
  • “it’s too overwhelming”: attainable.
  • “someone else can do it”: responsible individual.
  • “eh, later”: time-bound.
  • “I don’t feel like it”: I went through the trouble of making a SMART goal, making a five step promise to myself to do something. I don’t want that effort to go to waste.

That’s basically it. All the ways I avoid something taken care of by one comically simple acronym.

This entry was edited (2 weeks ago)
in reply to Seirdy

I kind of wish it didn’t spell out SMART because i instinctively hate any acronym that spells out a relevant word.
in reply to Seirdy

huh, I really should try that out. thanks for sharing!!
in reply to 0xBADBABE

adhd brains are an absolute joke. for real. like, the only thing I did today was to attach a time to the tasks. not just the day, no, a specific time and an estimated guess how long it’s going to take.

and that alone tremendously helped. omg.

thank you so much for sharing this!!

in reply to 0xBADBABE

@jasmin For real. Planning each day with 30-minute accuracy and two separate hours of grace time for adjustments/delays has transformed my life.


Just got around to playing with the now working iPhone mirroring app in macOS 15, not too bad. Although, I wish it would not keep repeating iPhone mirroring when navigating.r
in reply to DAVID WOODBRIDGE

Hmmm, how did you get iPhone Mirroring to work? Is it 15.1 you are seeing this on? The best I can get out of this combo with 15.0 is the “home” and “app launcher” buttons, but this only after relaunching VoiceOver.
in reply to victor tsaran

@vick21 It's the latest beta 18.1 that I'm using with the latest beta update for macOS 15 as well.


Sometimes I wish there was a way to either turn off user names altogether or put them at the end of the posts. This may be e a screen reader thing, but it gets overwhelming to my ears when one or two people take over my timeline. No personal feelings, BTW!
in reply to victor tsaran

Do you mean in mentions/replies? In Mona, I have usernames turned off for posts.
in reply to Jonathan Mosen

@JonathanMosen Ah, I didn’t realize there was such an option. Can you quickly called up a user name if you want to know who wrote the post? Anyway, I can research from here. Thanks for the tip!
in reply to Jonathan Mosen

@JonathanMosen Hmmm, I actually meant omitting usernames / user names in the posts themselves. Where do I find this option? I see there is a setting under “general”, but it does not allow me to turn off user names completely.
in reply to victor tsaran

Yes it does, YOu have three options, name, username, or name and username. So just set it to name and you won’t hear the username.
in reply to Jonathan Mosen

@JonathanMosen Ah yes, I already have it set to the name. I was looking for an option to “anonymize” posts so that I do not hear the same name if they post lots and lots of posts one after another. You could say it’s just a whim! :)


When JD Vance says, "My wife has three children" – he does not refer to his wife by her name (Usha). He also does not refer to any of his 3 children by name (Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel). And most importantly (red lights flashing, sirens blaring) – he doesn't acknowledge himself as his daughter's/sons' father (i.e., "Usha and I have three children"). All three of these are significant distancing behaviors.

I am once again asking you to refrain from using “Zionist” or any variation thereof when you talk about Israel, its government, people from Israel, settler-colonialism, etc.

Because the way you’re using it is similar to how it’s been used as an antisemitic slur for decades and it’s normalizing that kind of thing in a way that will harm Jews who have nothing to do with Israel and may even vocally oppose the policies and actions of Israel’s government.

Is there a reason I shouldn’t buy a framework laptop to replace this Dell garbage?


I feel like it’s the year 2001 when I resisted getting a mobile phone until I really needed it. Now I’m resisting Meta glasses. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the cost … I really need a laptop too, but it may also be because it’s “what everybody’s doing” in my little community. For now, I resisted instant next day arrival, and my wife and I’ll be old geezer standouts for awhile at least. We are ok being classed as geezerz though.
in reply to James Scholes

@jscholes @amy0223 With third-party support on the way IE, Be My Eyes etc, they will trounce Envision glasses for portability in short-order. If they allow one third-party app, others will surely follow.
in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof @jscholes @amy0223 Yeah we're going in the right direction IMHO with mainstream equipment with third-party app support, rather than using specific hardware like Envision and Orcam have done in the past. I'm still not a huge convert at the moment, but I don't need to record video right now. I'm still wanting to do more OCR reading with these glasses, which I don't believe is an option right now.
in reply to Andrew Hodgson

@andrew @FreakyFwoof @jscholes I don’t have the need for any kind of smart glasses right now and we’re trying to save money and all. But if I were buying, even with any downsides I’ll take a mainstream option over a for the blind product. I just don’t trust these niche products that are so highly priced to stay around. And when envision ends up like Orcam it’ll be a mess.
in reply to Amy

@amy0223 @andrew @jscholes What you said. I've tried to go mainstream with products I've purchased as much as humanly possible. Orbit Reader is an exception for obvious reason. In 1994, my dad gave me a Franklin Language Master which just *happened* to have TTs, so even that I guess is an off-the-shelf product. Loved that thing.
in reply to Noel Romey

@FreakyFwoof @amy0223 @andrew @jscholes That Language Master, which was called the Language Master 6000 Special Edition, was amazing. Everything on it was accessible and it even came with an excellent instruction tape. Several years ago, I bought a used one so I could continue to play with it. I always hoped that Franklin would have released an accessible encyclopedia but I don't think they ever did.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield @FreakyFwoof @amy0223 @andrew @jscholes I remember you doing a demo of that from the 1992 Blazie Engineering audio newsletter. Finally got my hands on one in middle school a few years later. "All aboard!"
in reply to Steve

@sclower @FreakyFwoof @amy0223 @andrew @jscholes I totally forgot that I had done a demo of that product and even now I barely remember it. That came about because Blazie Engineering became a distributor, though not the only distributor, of that product.
in reply to Andrew Hodgson

@andrew @FreakyFwoof @jscholes @amy0223 I meant to ask, can these glasses just be used for system audio and phone calls, like bluetooth earphones? or are they purely for the app ecosystem?



Delivery by October 30. Wow. It’s 2024. They still ship with the pony express.
And X1 carbon are overpriced.


The sky was thick solid clouds stretching from the horizon in the east to just above the horizon in the west. I wondered if that little gap above the horizon in the west would be enough for an interesting sunset. We waited 35 minutes for sunset and it was worth it.

Looks like my laptop is no longer charging. Fucking. Dell. USB-C. garbage.
And what can I get in under 2 days?
in reply to Hubert Figuière

It should be noted the original Dell charger that use a jack died in under 2 years. Because Dell is terrific quality.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

Found a replacement for the barrel jack charger, this will work to keep the laptop running. Ordered a replacement. Not Dhell. Not (overpriced) Lenovo.

Got a Framework. Will report in 2 weeks (or sooner)
