Living in a society where everyone is constantly trying to scam you if exhausting.
Sure, there's the regular scammers we think of. The ones who call or email you and pretend to be your bank, your telco, your long lost family with an inheritance for you.
But then there's all the legal scamming. Phones that come with built-in advertising IDs. Pop-ups with tiny close buttons. Anything where you have to "opt-out". Wherever bullshit Adobe has thought up this week.
When I was a teenager in the 2000s I somehow got the opportunity to interview the drummer from Minor Threat for a hardcore zine.
I asked him for his advice for young musicians. He said “you’re not going to listen to this advice because you don’t think it’s cool, and one day you’ll regret it, but always wear earplugs.”
No, Windows 11 File explorer, I do not want my file list to be grouped by week, or by filetype. What kind of crack are you on? I just want a nice alphabetized listview. And stop telling me that you're working on it, because I'm the one who pressed Enter and am well aware that you will be working on it. thanks!
So I asked #ElevenLabs for "a ham radio operator calling CQ on the busy 20-meter band". As a #ham myself, this is absolutely correct; we all eventually just trail off into unintelligible growling noises. #AI
What #linux distrobution has the best accessible gui? I need to duel boot this on the same machine along side windows. #slint #a11y #ubuntu #fedora #archlinux
Arch can have whatever GUI you set up, so it meets that requirement by default. Slint is also really good for accessibility. Didier is an excellent distro maintainer and really does a great job with accessibility for Slint. Also, if you want to install either of them, you know where to come to for support if you need it. ☺️
I would, but this machine is a laptop so I don't have that option. I will have to use a single boot loader. I do have a ssd and a spinning drive in this machine though.
So in A Herbivorous Dragon of 5000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized season 2, the Crunchy English subs make it seem like King Vanessa being a girl is a reveal in ep4, because in ep2, she's referred to as "he".
This is odd since nobody acts like it's a reveal, & her name is "Vanessa". So I looked further b/c Chinese has no spoken gendered pronoun (there is "he" & "she" in text but in speech, it's the same word). The Bilibili Chinese subs say "she" (她), so do their English subs. It's only Crunchy that made the assumption the King is a boy.
I suspect the CR translator was working from just the raw, & without text they had to make an assumption, & they heard "king" & saw somebody who could be a feminine boy & assumed male.
the reason we suspect it's a translator error and not Crunchy using AI translation or something is because in episode 4, a character definitively genders Vanessa, calling her "my sister". That's the first time it's made directly clear. (The character referred to an off screen sister in previous episodes but not that that was Vanessa). And then the Crunchy subs start referring to her using female pronouns. So that's likely when the translator realized the gender of the character.
Crunchy notoriously overworks and underpays their translators so it's likely they don't have time to think too much about these things because of how fast they're pushed to translate stuff, and they're doing it as they get the episodes.
incidentally I really hate how online western anime fandom treats Chinese anime/donghua. There's like constant hate on subsplease and other places on animation that has Chinese audio, and they complain about it being a "dub" even though that's the original language, and then they say they'll wait for the "real Japanese" even tho the JAPANESE IS THE DUB. There's also all the weebs who complain that Chinese sounds worse & is less "real" sounding than the Japanese dialogue and like, most of you can speak NEITHER LANGUAGE, shut the f- up.
And of course Wikipedia often only lists the Japanese VAs for a lot of Chinese anime, and it's so hard to find what the OP of a show is b/c all sites in search results list the Japanese OPs as the only OPs for the show -_-
For anyone who might have ideas. Could you recommend me a Daisy reader for desktop? I can read books fine on Bookshare but would like to be able to save them on my computer. Thanks.
I am currently researching the best NAS for all my data to be stored. My current device has finally decided to die. It was a western Digital. Any recommendations welcome. Also any recommendations to stay away from are Also welcome. Thanks!
ooooh curious what you find on it, I currently have an older Buffalo NAS that has a decent-ish web interface and is paired with 2 3 TB drives in RAID to make 6. I back parts of it up regularly but would be good to find one that's either got built-in drives or has 2-4 3.5 inch bays to load up drives with.
I sincerely regret to see Linux kernel patches like this one removing Russian developers from the MAINTAINERS

a symbol of how far the Linux kernel developer co
Sanctions enforcement is not a joke, and there is a reason even chinese banks comply with cutting russians off.
Going with your analogy, if hypothetically a non-NATO member Germany would start a war and others would sanction Germany, you as a german developer would rightly get removed from kernel maintainers lists. This is how sanctions work.
I can’t believe this is controversial, programmers are attempting international law and failing again.
@bagder Yes that’s entirely fair, it would not have taken much to state:
“We are removing these names from the maintainers list because of US sanctions enforcement. No, this is not optional, at a penalty of personal criminal liability but I Linus Torvalds would not challenge this removal even if I could”
(Which was i think the gist of the statements that came out later)
“Simply do not break a glass, and it will last a thousand years. Smash it, and it will not last an instant. Democracy is like that: fragile, but only if you shatter it.”
@alecaddd lol we have candy to hand out as well and they will be clearly separated and labeled. So hopefully none. We’re thinking of making a game out of it idk yet.

I do wonder just how serious about #accessibility is the team behind the MuseScore software. At least on Mac OS things are broken to the point of making it really quite counter-productive to use it. Broken tooltips, strange keyboard navigation, unfinished dialogs, etc, etc. I've been checking for updates for ever hoping to see some progress, but progress I see none.
Heyah there. I spent some time contributing issues and suggestions regarding MuseScore Studio accessibility while I was at Eastman School of Music over the last year and a half and was studying the BANA Music Braille code manuals to gain requisite knowledge to make recommendations regarding MSS' built-in Music Braille support. However, I never had a chance to test things on a Mac, I have since begun focusing elsewhere (I felt the only meaningful way to achieve progress at the speed I would have liked would have involved me writing code, something which I do not yet have the skillset for), and others, primarily The DAISY Consortium, RNIB, and the Sao Mai Center for the Blind, quite simply beat me to the punch and have far more resources, knowledge, and development skills than I.
With that being said, hopefully I can help. Apologies if I'm providing you with information which you already know. MuseScore Studio's keyboard navigation scheme is quite weird and nonstandard on every platform. In general, F6/Shift+F6 or grave/shift+grave moves you through whole sections of the program, tab/shift+tab gets you through different controls, and arrows move ou through buttons, boxes, etc. VoiceOver nav commands will likely not be useful anywhere in MuseScore Studio (ugh). With that being said, I'm pretty sure there are several professional musicians who use MuseScore Studio 4.
There's more info available both in the MuseScore Studio 4 handbook, where there are full sections on accessibility and keyboard navigation, and there is a speciffic page on the MuseScore.org website with accessibility tips and tricks which might be of use.
Finally, a mailing list set up by a blind music educator from New Zealand has become the defacto community resource as well as a place for users and some community contributors to discuss issues and fixes. It can be found here:
A MuseScore Studio 4 WhatsApp group monitored by developers and users is also available. there is also a MuseScore Studio Discord server where developers and users discuss and where you might be able to get some traction for accessibility fixes. Please PM me for links.
This group is here to promote and assist people with the use of the accessibility features of MuseScore Notation Software and the www.musescore.com ( http://www.musescore.com ) score sharing library website.
Also the best advice I can give about both MuseScore as well as Sibelius is that do not use VO cursor. Just use it as like windows app with tab/shifttabs, arrows, space, return, escape, etc. Using VOCursor will ensure you'll get into trouble. lol
I've taken to answering the phone "Potato" instead of "Hello", because a human will go "what?" and a robocall will fail to determine what language it should start its script in.
Matt Mullenweg is making an absolutely spurious legal claim to silence his critics. Because of the fair report privilege, "platforming the claims in the lawsuits" is on rock solid ground. If anyone knows the person behind bullenweg, there are plenty of lawyers who would delight in telling Matt to go piss up a rope. mastodon.social/@mvsde/1133736…

Do you know anything about its accessibility for screen reader users? Unfortunately, everything I've ever tried from JetBrains, was far from being usable by a screen reader user.
I never use those buttons (even though I "probably" should) and I prefer the smaller sized tablets.
Different people have different sizes they draw at and desk space should also be considered.
(I should get back to using my Intuous again. There was a while where it didn't work with GNOME due to bugs, and a while where left-handed mode didn't work either. So my usage of it dropped off as a result and I didn't keep it in my workflow.)
i'm interested in knowing how folks who use computers a lot and also deal with chronic pain/fatigue/illness set up their home workspaces in ways that are designed to support their needs. i've heard of things like monitors being suspended/tilted to use while lying down or reclining. are there good resources/forums for this kind of thing? i'm also interested if anyone wants to share a picture or description of your setup.

Ich hoffe, meine lieben Leseratten sind nicht mittlerweile verhungert – seit Mitte Juni kein Lesefutter zugefügt 😱 Also hier mal schnell 24 Neuzugänge bei ebooks.qumran.org/ hochgeschoben. Mehr kommt nach, braucht nur wieder ein wenig – zu viel zu tun…
Ich leg mal eben noch 28 weitere #eBooks nach, ja? Sind gerade hochgeladen. Insgesamt stehen derzeit 12.826 🇩🇪 EBooks bereit.Ich leg aber (hoffentlich) die Tage noch wieder ein wenig nach, mal schauen ob wir die 12.900 noch knacken…
Und eine weitere Batch mit 24 #eBooks ging gerade hoch, zum Aufrunden auf 12.850 eBooks insgesamt. Rückstau noch lange nicht abgebaut – aber dass es weiterhin täglich eBooks regnet, kann ich natürlich nicht versprechen 😉
Hi, ich schreibe Fantasy, einen Teil davon auch frei verfügbar. Ist allerdings queer.
Akzeptierst du nur Public-Domain (also CC0), oder auch sowas wie CC-BY oder ND? Dass Leute meine Sachen gratis lesen, wäre für mich kein Problem, aber dafür, Leuten zu erlauben, die nach Belieben zu verwenden oder sogar unter deren Namen zu verkaufen, ohne mich bloß zu nennen, steckt da zu viel Arbeit drin.
@r_shivran Meine eigenen Bücher sind CC BY-NC-SA, ebenso wie die von Cory Doctorow und einigen anderen. Wichtig ist mir da, dass zum Einen ich rechtlich abgesichert bin (also verteilen darf), und dass die Autoren (so noch lebendig) damit einverstanden sind. Einige Autoren haben mir auch einzelne Werke explizit zur Verfügung gestellt, quasi "all rights reserved" mit Sondergenehmigung. Also gern her damit, und natürlich auch gern queer 😃
btw, ich bin Frontend-Developer und das Webinterface sieht ein bisschen 90er aus. Ist das Absicht bzw. dein persönlicher Geschmack und soll so, oder ist die UI/UX-Gestaltung bloß nicht dein Hobby? Ich hätte ein paar Ideen, wie ich mir das als User übersichtlicher wünschen würde und würde daran auch kostenlos mitarbeiten, aber da ich mich schon erstmal in den Code einarbeiten müsste, würde ich das nur machen, wenn du das möchtest.
@r_shivran Ich bin in der Tat kein "Grafik-Designer", habe das daher nach dem KISS-Prinzip gemacht – keep it simple (and functional). Komme schon eine ganze Weile nicht mehr dazu, an miniCalOpe zu arbeiten; IzzyOnDroid nimmt mich mittlerweile voll in Beschlag (ist quasi schon ein zweiter, aber unbezahlter Vollzeit-Job).
miniCalOpe verwendet "Template Sets", je eins für OPDS und HTML. Beide gleiche "Struktur", so dass sie identisch befüllt werden können.+1 HTML Set wäre, wenn möglich, ideal 😉
Grafik-Profi bin ich auch nicht, aber würde mich bei UI/UX zumindest als ambitionierten Junior einstufen. Ich habe halt mit Android-Development keine Erfahrung und würde mich auf HTML und CSS beschränken, aber damit kann man ja auch schon einiges machen.
Ich schau mir die Funktionen an und würde dir auch erstmal einen Entwurf erstellen, damit du eine Ahnung bekommst, was ich mir vorstelle.
edit: Wird ein paar Tage dauern, ich muss erstmal bei der Dateistruktur durchsteigen.
@r_shivran Passt. Ist auch kein Android involviert da, sondern in der Tat nur HTML+CSS (kein JavaScript). Wie getippst, idealerweise wäre das einfach ein neues Template-Set. Zusätzliche Felder (z.B. Buch Cover in den Listen) sollten machbar sein – hatte ich schonmal versucht, bin dann aber am Design gescheitert 🙈
Letztendlich ist mir beim eBook-Server wichtig, dass die eBooks verfügbar und einfach abrufbar sind, auch direkt aus dem Reader heraus (OPDS). Muss keinen Schönheitspreis gewinnen 😉
Ja, Buchcover wären definitiv von Vorteil, außerdem wäre auch eine Filterleiste nett (das ist das, was ich als User*in konkret vermisse). Javascript kann ich, könnte also langfristig auch Funktionen ergänzen, aber erstmal würde ich bloß an der Optik/Template arbeiten, bevor ich mich an sowas mache und dann aus Versehen den Reader zerschieße :p
Javascript bedeutet nicht zwangsläufig Cookies, ich benutze aus Prinzip keine CDNs für Dinge, die sich irgendwie selbst schreiben lassen.
Und nein, sorry, ich verstehe, wenn man kein Javascript möchte, aber das, was die Suchfunktion momentan anbietet, würde ich wirklich nicht als "Filtern" bezeichnen, man kann nichtmal mehr als einen Tag gleichzeitig setzen.
@r_shivran Schonmal mit der Ctrl/Strg Taste gespielt? HTML/Browser Standard. Ich kann problemlos mehrere Tags auswählen, siehe Screenshot 😉
Und ja, ich weiß dass JS und Kekse zwei verschiedene und voneinander unabhängige Dinge sind, möchte aber beide möglichst vermeiden. Unsere "liebe Werbeindustrie" hat dafür gesorgt, dass beide einen schlechten Ruf haben. Und ja, alles sollte "lokal" auf dem eigenen Server laufen – keine Sourcen von Extern laden.
Nein, habe ich nicht ausprobiert, weil aus dem UI für mich nirgendwo ersichtlich ist, dass diese Funktion für STRG überhaupt hinterlegt ist. Da würden Checkboxen mehr Sinn machen, oder zumindest ein Hinweistext. Unpraktisch wäre das bei dem winzigen Auswahlfeld auch immer noch.
Aber ist gut zu wissen, dass es insgesamt implementiert ist.
Spätestens, wenn ich auf "Suchen" geklickt habe, sind die Auswahlmöglichkeiten weg und ich sehe nichtmal, welcher Tag aktiv ist.
@r_shivran Da stimme ich Dir natürlich vollends zu – und ein Hilfetext wäre sicherlich einfach hinterlegbar. Umstellung auf Checkboxen wäre aufwändiger, sowohl von der Auswertung als auch vor allem vom Design (die Liste ist ja nicht gerade kurz). Bin natürlich für Vorschläge offen – weiß halt nur nicht, wann ich da zu etwas komme…
Ich sehe jetzt nicht, was bei der Auswertung von Checkboxen aufwändiger sein soll als aktuell, wenn die Mehrfachauswahl (hier über STRG) bereits implementiert ist.
Der Nachteil bei der Sache mit der STRG-Taste ist aber natürlich auch, dass auf einem Mobile-Gerät, wo man den Reader vermutlich nutzt, idR keine Tastatur angeschlossen ist, sondern die über Touch bedient werden, und STRG über Touch-Tastatur ist schon echt unbequem.
@r_shivran Mobil im Reader wird das OPDS Interface benutzt, da werden die Daten als strukturiertes XML geliefert. Die Darstellung wird dabei vom jeweiligen eBook Reader bzw. der jeweiligen App übernommen. Da sollte das eigentlich kein Problem sein.
Für Weiteres wechsel ich mal in den "DM Modus", damit wir hier nicht das ganze Fedi (oder auch nur alle Follower) "spammen"…
Wie gesagt, ich muss mich mal in den Code reinlesen, was da wie implementiert ist. Irgendwo muss die Suche ja programmiert sein, läuft dann vermutlich via php? Könnte man auf der Ebene ggf. auch optimieren, dauert nur länger, bin ich nicht so der Pro drin.
Aber das können wir ja irgendwann mal in Ruhe besprechen, wenn es dir passt. War ja nicht der Sinn der Sache, dass du jetzt mehr Arbeit damit hast, v.a. wenn du eigentlich gar nicht die Zeit dafür hast.
@r_shivran Ja, ist PHP. Und "wann es passt" ist schwer zu beantworten… miniCalOpe ist ja bei Codeberg gehostet. Ggf. lassen sich Issues für asynchrone Kommunikation nutzen?
(und ja, eigentlich wäre beim Code ein Rewrite fällig, bin nur nie dazu gekommen. Das Ganze ging ursprünglich aus einem "Quick Hack für den persönlichen Gebrauch" hervor)
My grandmother was a secretary in a Nazi concentration camp, filling out death certificates (“heart attack”); they issued these for people they didn’t immediately murder on arrival.
This was 80 years ago & I’m two generations removed.
@mattmay I think those billionaires do not realize they will end up on a chopping block. They think the money will save them. I have to say that many Americans, from rich to poor and vice versa, are so naive of things like fascism and radical nationalism that they are willing probably disregard a lot of warnings. Folks do not realize it’s not a movie on the screen. Perhaps the history means it to happen this way. I am sadly puzzled.
The Small Midwestern Cities That Could Play a Pivotal Role in This Year’s Elections —
For all the talk about big-city Democrats and rural Republicans, it's the voters in overlooked places like Sandusky, #Ohio, and Racine, #Wisconsin, who could decide everything from key congressional races to the presidency.

OK, I was trying very hard to record a screencast demoing the new picture descriptions with ChatGPT in iOS18.2, but screen recording cuts out when Siri speaks. Not sure if this has always been the case or this is temporary bug though…
if you connect your phone to a Mac by a cable and open QuickTime and start a screen recording on your Mac, there will be a drop down option on the record controls that will let you select your iPhone as the recording source and then you may be able to record what you want there. 👍🏼
