It sounds like an interesting idea, but a bit like the venerable comic book, silent cinema seems beyond me. There's an event in London for those who are interested, though.

Covid did happen, but the RNIB seemingly haven't touched this sort of research since 2017. I wish they'd move on it. the UK used to lead the way, and now we're so not. NO push for apps to be accessible, no push for live streams to have a feed (that broadcast television already does), and no progress on portable access.

maybe worth reaching out to RNIB immersive media team who I know have been working in related areas in recent years.
in reply to Sean Randall

Honestly, if the idea is to watch a film with no actual diegetic sound at all and read descriptions? I'd prefer a book.
I hope i'm misunderstanding the idea. Obviously if you have some eyesight, or used to, or have an interest in the medium, you'll be more interested by default.
It souns to me like an interesting idea for a research proposal but an utterly impractical waste of time and energy, especially given people's levels of Braille literacy and reading speed contrasted with the speed of film.


This is Nathan. Nathan is trying to make money by offering overpriced domain names which are otherwise free for registration.

Don't be like Nathan. Get a real job.

if you can register .net for free then ive been paying 12$ to too many people.

@bobmagicii "free for registration" means that you can register it freely not that you don't have to pay for the registration.

Long time no post! Been building a graphical #WASM interpreter!

Very useful when your program is doing funky stuff and you don’t know why… Here’s a sneak peek 👀

in reply to Jonas Kruckenberg

would this be able to be run in the browser?

Then it could join the ranks of awesome web based debug tools like the godbolt compiler explorer and rust playground.

in reply to treefit

@treefit Actually the “default” version is in-browser yeah!

Since it’s written in rust ive built the gui using egui, so it can support web+native where native def has better performance but shipping a website is just so much easier so thats the default

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.

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.

@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.

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! :)

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.

stallman-report.org/

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.
