Hmm I have a book I bought saturday that came with PDF and Epub versions. Q-read won't open the Epub, error says parsing failed "Unable to parse document." Any other programs for windows that can open it and save as txt?

Before the prompt is colorful ascii art of a waving rainbow flag, along with a reminder of how to use the keyboard to get to the settings. the prompt itself is a nonbinary flag and cycles through black, purple, white, and yellow in little arrow segments. white has a tilde in it, representing the current directory

Ah, my family had an SB16. That might be why OPL3 was familiar to me. Never played Doom or Doom II, though.

@matt Most DOS games were OPL2 and didn't have much optimisations for OPL3. There was a list of games that fully supported it somewhere, can't remember where I saw that.

Wellp, over the weekend, I got Sling TV again, and boy do I regret it. When I had it in 2016, only the guide was inaccessible mostly, now the entire video player has no accessible controls, not even a way to adjust volume via the keyboard. I'm crushed, honestly, just crushed. YouTube TV being $72 is too much, Philo is better but with fewer channels, and FRNDLY TV has some of the ones I want but even fewer. Sling sucks, if you're blind, just don't get it.

nowadays if you're using an actual tv more and more sites aren't working like they're supposed to, so the best chance you have is to pirate or find a good tv service.

yeah what's hard is that we don't have a physical TV here (I stream content from my computer through a local-hosted Icecast server that gets pulled in through 2 multiroom Echo studios, 2 dots, from a skill.)
upside: No fuss about video and audio syncing or using propriatary OS and screen readers.
Downside: Well, this, I guess. Ideally I would somehow play streams as playlists in VLC and channel surf that way, but never in our corporate DRM-protected world.

@GoemonIshikawa ha yeah, that's not a bad one with the hosts file I have none of the ads show. I think my big problem tends to be the quality of streams and then of course not knowing when something moves, but for sure a sad state of the world when sites like that are more simple and accessible than mainstream paid streaming sites are who would have the money but not dignity to relinquish control for user freedom and ease of access, either.

@GoemonIshikawa that schedule is perfect for each channel too, that's what's surprising there, no fuss, just the straight channel schedules. Ugh. It's almost like in an effort to feed us more content and recommendations and have fancy two-directional scrolling for the guide and bla bla bla ruins it all. LOL. Will probably cancel Sling because their iOS app shows actual .PNG filenames with URLs attached, gonna screen record it and complain to them.

Tip of the day: When it comes to #PDF documents, what you see and what is actually there can be two different things. Just because you can read words in the document doesn’t mean it is searchable. Or perhaps you have a searchable #PDF but it’s still not found in a search in #DEVONthink. Here are a few ways to deal with such #PDFs. #macos #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday devontechnologies.com/blog/202…

It's interesting how thin a skin the React crowd has. They think I'm being deeply antagonistic when, in fact, I've been holding my fire (and the confidences of consulting counterparties) for ~8 years. This has only served to make things look *better* than they really are.

The damage I'm seeing isn't just in the public sector, or limited to exceptionally bad cases. It's now ecosystem-wide, and JS-first culture owns a share of the blame.

But why do I care? A short thread.

My primary motivation is that I want the web to win.

What does that mean? Concretely, that means that I want folks to be able to accomplish most of their daily tasks on the web. A reasonable diagnostic metric is time spent as a percentage of time on device. JTBD fraction would be the natural leading metric, but it's wicked hard to track.

This phrasing – fraction of time, rather than total time – has the benefit of not being thirsty. It's also tracked by various parties.

Ok, but why?

If you make $20/ hour, you take home about $15 after taxes.

That night out isn't $300, it's 20 hours of your time, or 2.5 days of work.

That car isn't $60,000, it's 4,000 hours of your time, or 500 days of work.

Framing purchases in time instead of dollars will help you make better-informed decisions with money.

Always consider opportunity cost. Your TIME is valuable.

Got to love those "recruiter" emails. Today's favorite?

"Hey, Emilly. We've seen your resume, and we're really impressed with it. A bachelor's and a masters in Computer Science? 20+ years as a dev? I think you'll be excited at the opportunity to take a 70% paycut - - maybe more! - -and join our team as an independent contractor in an entry level customer service role! You can work from home in those totally legit job!"

I think the dead internet has eaten the whole online job hunting and application process. It's bots AI tailoring resumes to ghost jobs posted by company bots to collect resumes against some future need, which is all filtered by automatic screens built by more bots against vague requirements written by overworked folks due to random management demands.

I really wish my professional network wasn't so weirdly tilted towards chemical engineers and materials engineers.

It's a pretty mundane looking medication box, with a sand dune on it, and an atreides logo - along with a bunch of stickers warning it may cause permanent iris and sclera discolouration, and that it's a prescience enhancer.

Fucking BANGER of an opener in @pluralistic 's latest newsletter:

The Secret IRS Files revealed the fact that many of America's oligarchs pay no tax at all. Some of them even get subsidies intended for poor families, like Jeff Bezos, whose tax affairs are so scammy that he was able to claim to be among the working poor and receive a federal Child Tax Credit, a $4,000 gift from the American public to one of the richest men who ever lived

I’ve been unemployed for almost 6 months from my last tech job and have been unable to find employment. I can make more an hour driving a city bus than I made working in my last job (I looked it up). Why in the hell would I want to remain in the tech industry and beg for work when I’m failing every single time I send out a resume? This is an industry that I have been a part of for 30+ years but no longer cares about me. I really think I’m done.

I've heard people wonder "as a developer, will AI kill my job?"
I think there is a definitely non-zero chance that it might...

But not because an LLM is going to write all the code, better, faster and cheaper, no. Because, when this bubble finally pops and tech companies are left with nothing but piles of out-dated GPUs and plummeting stock prices, they'll "fix" the problem the only way they know: by firing 30% of their workforce!
