Tak přesně tři týdny vydrželo auto před barákem, než mi někdo poškrábal dveře klíčem.
in reply to Jiří Eischmann

To je ta chvíle, kdy se nejvíc tluče myšlení dospělýho ("ta sviňucha mi zničila auto") s myšlením dítěte ("když tady tátovi nakreslím sluníčko, bude auto krásný a bude mít radost")

Chce to hodně sebeovládání a sebezapření to ustát, aby nemělo první šrámy na duši už takhle brzy :)

in reply to Schmaker

@schmaker Já už mám děti 19 a 20 let starý, kdyby je napadlo v tomto věku čmárat na auto sluníčko, tak ten šrám by měly určitě. :mastolaughing:

so in Windows 11 (23H2), File Explorer gives you feedback on searching with #NVDA. I opened a folder on my NAS, hit f3 and typed something in, and got a couple of files. i was in a different explorer window when it announced the search was complete and it had found 2 files. How does it send that to the screen reader? it isn't a typical notification, but I wasn't looking at the window in question.
#nvda
in reply to Sean Randall

Was it an alert? Those can be received system-wide. Failing that, given that it was on Windows 11, it was probably a UIA notification but the exact API use for those escapes me at the moment.


We have a server at work that can’t boot with SSDs in it. Yes. You read that right. It will not boot with SSDs in it. You have to boot it first before installing your drives. What the fuck?
in reply to aaron

does it try and boot from the ssds and fail? or is there some bug in the ahci/NVME controler or something
in reply to Devin

@sparksexist I’m not really sure, I think it tries to boot from the ssd’s regardless of what you set boot options to. I’m not sure how though because there is no efi partitions on any of the drives.


It's raining gently outside and it's just pure magic.


When copying audiobooks from a 2011 WD drive to my new one, 2 files out of thousands give me an "Invalid MS-DOS Function" error. They appear to play fine. I've tried all suggested fixes, check disk, defrag, creating the CopyFileBufferedSynchronousIo registry key. Still happens. I think I can download the files again but wondering if there is anything else to try? Afterwards, I was going to reformat the drive and reuse it, wonder if that's the only way to fix this?
in reply to Jay Pellis

Try copying with cp under Linux if you can. Windows likes to be a shit about copying files.


@Tutanota Any idea when you will support IOS 18 dark icon ? because your white app are alien ...

Increasingly convinced that people shouldn't run a #Mastodon instance for others to rely on unless they:
1. use a specialised, managed hosting service; or
2. legitimately want to learn about the gory details of how federation works, managing and scaling a large Ruby on Rails application, tuning a database server and background task runner, orchestrating careful back-ups, setting up an alert system, and many more things.

Those can be extremely useful things to learn, but it's becoming clear that it isn't as relatively uninvolved as, say, throwing WordPress on a server to run a low-traffic blog. And those are only the technical tasks.

in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof Looks like it's the Tweesecake home server from more scrolling on my part. Seriously though rolling your own Mastodon server from start to finish all on your own and maintaining and making sure it continues to run is neither uninvolved or inexpensive. And people really need to consider this before running a server for others.
in reply to Amanda Carson

Mastodon is honestly a resource hog, arguably Ruby is really not meant for web apps. Maintenance is one thing, moderation is another. I don't think the average Fediverse user has any idea how much is out there that we have to deal with so we can foster a safer place for everyone. It is a lot of mental strain from the worst of humanity at times. But it is definitely worth it. If anyone hosts a server, a thank you now and then goes a long way, especially if the service is provided for free.

There are also other servers if anyone does not want to deal with Mastodon, I ran #Pleroma and forks for years, which is lightweight and maintaining the software stack is a lot less involved. Then, there's #GoToSocial, which really can't be compared to anything else, except maybe #Snac. They are just brilliant.

Small, focused instances are always better, so is having more accounts, in case one server goes down. Just my opinion.



So I just had my alarm go off but I was already awake for 2 hours. Before the alarm went off I could not fall asleep. After it went off it was so much easier to fall asleep. Why?

I think cuz before my mind was wandering. After the only thing on my mind was "I gotta get up" making it easier to fall asleep

Now I wonder how I can use this to fall asleep faster for real

in reply to Leah

Set an alarm for the time you need to fall asleep, then the only thing on your mind will be the need to fall asleep.

Acabo de descubrir que en Estados Unidos las Normas técnicas que se incorporan a las leyes por referencia son, según la jurisprudencia, de dominio público o al menos se permite su consulta y copia gratuita por interés del derecho de defensa.
mastodon.social/@eff/113341665…
En España, hay que pagar para acceder a las normas UNE, referenciadas en mucha legislación. (Recuerdo que mi primera mascarilla casera la hice con la norma Francesa porque la española no estaba disponible).
in reply to MicroBlog Castellano

En la UE tenemos la misma regla por vía jurisprudencial (C-588/21). El caso era sobre acceso a los normas de seguridad de juguetes, y el TJUE decidió que en la medida en que las normas de la UE le dan valor normativo a una norma técnica, es parte del estado de derecho que pueda ser conocida por el público.

Yes, and the fact that you know I am is why I am using it in the first place.



I love that Metatext and Semaphore are living new and enhanced lives as Feditext and Enafore, respectively. Unfortunately, both of these new projects have long standing, severe problems impacting accessibility, so I'm still using the old, unmaintained projects as my daily drivers. One of these days, I might get around to looking into these bugs myself, but until then, this is how it is.

@vick21 I actually didn't realise there was a limited free version of Mona to try and I wasn't willing to pay for something I might later decide I didn't love. Might have to try it at some point. That doesn't change things on desktop, of course, where I don't use Mac.

I think you will love Mona. It’s the best thing, IMHO, we have on the iPhone.


I see Microsoft still haven't fixed the crash in Phone Link when you focus the message list. So, here's my app module to work around this and add some other conveniences. I can't be bothered adding type annotations, etc. to submit to NVDA core, nor can I be bothered submitting this as an add-on, so this will require developer scratchpad to be enabled. gist.githubusercontent.com/jcs…

Tamas G reshared this.

in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox Oh oh, yes, I know what you're talking about now. I have calls disabled for Phone Link because it wants to steal calls from my Airpods, but I re-enable calls on demand occasionally if I need it for a specific call, which isn't that often for me. Just in case you don't know, alt+s gets you to settings, which is useful for quickly disabling calls.
in reply to Jamie Teh

Yep. Problem for me is that calls work more reliably than sending messages. And sometimes, new messages won't show up, but I'll get all the pointless notifications like there's no tomorrow. I can turn those off, but then I'd probably get nothing but phone calls. If I turn those off, I'd probably get nothing.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox Yeah, it's definitely far from perfect. For me, it's also a hell of a lot better than nothing. And I blame Apple for all of this crappiness, for all the difference that makes to no one.
in reply to Patrick Perdue

@BorrisInABox Anecdotally, Phone Link seems to be more reliable with messages for me in the last month or two, perhaps iOS 18, a Phone Link update or... complete falsehood that I will discover as such just minutes after I write this. Do with that what you will, probably nothing. :)
in reply to Jamie Teh

Oh, cool. I've had pretty much the opposite experience here.

Hahaha. I can't relate to that as a screen reader user. Though in Unified English Braille, an asterisk consumes 1 more cell than a dash. There's some useless trivia to support our preference.

I wonder why americans call it "bullet train". I mean they don't kill people and they are hardly found in america. And opposed by most republicans.


When considering the widely discussed ethical issues with generative AI (unrestrained energy use contributing to climate change, theft of creative work, perpetuation of biases, etc.), I wonder if there's a meaningful difference between current-generation models like GPT-4O that can generate image descriptions on top of everything else LLMs do, and earlier, more specialized vision models used in things like the Microsoft Office apps and Microsoft's Seeing AI app.
in reply to Matt Campbell

In other words, if I were to take a stance on not using the former kind of model for ethical reasons, then to be consistent, would I also have to refuse to use the latter (but earlier) kind of model?
in reply to Matt Campbell

The fact that the latter runs on my phone with decent performance, and the former does not, would suggest that there are differences. Whether or not the latter's initial training exhibits some of the same problems as generative models, I don't know, but it's one of the many reasons that just referencing generative models as "AI" is lazy and harmful.

For instance, I read an article yesterday about a publisher updating their copyright statements to include the text:

"No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems ..."

The lack of nuance immediately made me wonder if I would be violating those conditions if, through my legitimate and unintended actions, any part of the work ever came into contact with any machine learning technologies, e.g. those used for OCR.
