#StardewValley yesterday I bought animals and I didn't leave the animaldoors open, but they went out anyway. that seems so weird as I thought they'd stay inside if the animaldoors are shot. How to get them back in as a #blind Person using #StardewAccess Mod?

@erion Yeah I think so, I play it in German so often don't know the english Names for things.


People who confuse entomology and etymology bug me in ways I can't put into words.


one of my real pain points with the iPhone is composing emails using the built-in mail app with #voiceover. It’s got slightly better with iOS 18, but the Misspelt Words option in the rotor still does not work. This might not be an issue for some, but for me I cannot send emails on the phone with confidence that it is written accurately and looks professional. I know there's the option of writing it in the Notes app, reviewing it and then pasting it into Mail, but come on! That's such a clunky workaround.

Is Mail any better on the iPad at all? I would quite like something that is an in between device to a laptop and a phone that I could use to quickly write emails, make additions to documents, write quick notes etc, and in that sense the iPad could be a nice fit, but if iPadOS has the same issues as the iOS versions then meh, it might not add much for me. Any thoughts?

if you suspect you've got a word wrong, a quick left then right flick (effectively deleting then re-inserting the space after your word) will trigger a misspelled announcement if the word is incorrect. 90% of the time a single flick down will choose the one I meant after that.

Van erre valakinek egy jó megoldása, vagy jobban össze kell barátkoznom a Puppeteerrel?



I decided to record the forest in autumn during one of my regular walks a couple of days ago. The weather was nice. A few birds, wind, the gravel under my feet. When I got home I recorded some piano, pads, bells, and put it all together.

This is beautiful. Beautifully imagined, beautifully created.


I'm tired of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they are going and meet up with them later.


One more arrived.

In my folder with "funny" emails, I now count at least *19* emails that have been sent to me regarding Cisco Anyconnect VPN related problems.

Nineteen. Because they use #curl and the license is in there somewhere with my email address.

By all means, keep them coming. I'll keep counting!

Zadní světlo s radarem na kole chcete. Garmin Varia RTL515 je teď v druhé nejlepší akci historie.
Jedno z nejlepších zařízení od Garminu.

Asi ne.

Spíš na jaře nechám vyměnit zadní světlo ze něco, co jede z dynama a nemusí se nabíjet.

Radar se mi líbí, ale na moje použití to je overkill.

Já mám silničku, většinou jezdím kde jezdí i auta, tak to se radar vyplatí, ale jasný pro tebe to moc nebude.
in reply to Archos

@verosk Taky jsem jezdil, ale to je tak 25 let. Poslední roky máme všichni doma treky a spíš nás baví poznávací courání. Když teda zrovna nestavím. 🤭
in reply to Archos

No, já už českým obchodům nevěřím. Jak tento radar (za 2990) tak i boty na turistiku, kupuji ve slevách na Amazonu.
Ale i v Čechách to jde, ale musíte mít známé, třeba hodinky Garmin 265 pod 9k.
Ono na tom je vidět, jak si chudáci prodejci mastí kapsu.


In other #curl stat-counting news, Mr. @icing has now climbed to committer number eight by commit count (501 commits), in less than three years since his first. Ranked number four if we go by number of added lines (88K lines added).

Viktor @vsz is at position five by commit count (920) after a recent intense period of activity in which he has been the "committer of the month" in the project several months recently.

Yeah, Ableton Move does really sound cool, but unfortunately, I don’t think I will have the time to play with this. It’s way too cool and, I know, will require a lot of fun time! youtube.com/watch?v=0Ra1nhrt6v…

I haven’t had this much fun with music in a long time. If you ever can find the time, I think you will find yourself doing things you’re never would otherwise. Certainly was the case for me.

@BorrisInABox That’s exactly my concern. I already have to divide the time between work, composing, recording, playing guitar, etc. And I am not too successful there! :)

Disabling #Windows #AI features organization-wide using #GroupPolicy.

This will turn off #Recall (the periodic screenshot service) and #Copilot (the AI assistant service).

1. Download and install the Windows 11 24H2 administrative template files: microsoft.com/en-us/download/d…

2. Add the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 Sep 2024 Update (24H2)\PolicyDefinitions to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions on the domain controller.

3. Start Group Policy Management on the domain controller.

4. Create a group policy object with these values:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Turn off Saving Snapshots for Windows = enabled

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot = enabled

5. Link the group policy object in at an appropriate level in your domain.




I've often used the verb "stallmanising" to mean being such a cunt about your perfectly reasonable cause that you actively turn people against it.

The thing that frustrates me about this is that the #FreeSoftware community wastes so much fucking time on #Stallman. So much time and effort is wasted on the eccentricities of one man, even though anyone with a gram of sense can see that this man is unfit to lead the social movement for our digital liberation.

And we are so utterly beholden to him. So much of our language and framing is Stallmanesque, sometimes undeservedly. My biggest pet hate is the narrative that 'you, the user, will be free if you use Free Software'. No you won't, especially not if you are not technically inclined. We are freed together as a community, not as individuals. The system of collaboration and the sharing of our digital infrastructure makes this thing liberating for all of us, not my ability to patch better Esperanto support into glibc.

And it's not like this movement needs a single leader, or that there aren't already extremely talented and dedicated leader figures in our community.

And it's not like there aren't problems with our community that aren't related to Stallman. There are so many people (men…) who make this community less lovely than it is.

But instead of lifting up other voices, or addressing other toxicity, we're stuck endlessly dealing with this one eccentric man.

I was reading and thinking about a post discussing the Stallman Report¹ and a section leapt out and resonated for me:

"My biggest pet hate is the narrative that 'you, the user, will be free if you use Free Software'. No you won't, especially not if you are not technically inclined. We are freed together as a community, not as individuals."

And it crystallized a thought that has been knocking around my mind for months: …

Software being Free (or open source, or zero cost, or even "open core" (gag)) does legitimately help developers - those very few.

But there is another role: the folks who specifically assist others to navigate up knowledge and skill gradients, and who work to diminish those gradients: the distro maintainers, the package testers & integrators, the sysadmins, the community moderators.

It is fine to want freedom yourself but we *must* work for each other's freedom too.
