Apple’s interference with Jon Stewart’s show, telling him he couldn’t talk about either AI or China, was the main reason I decided to retire in case anyone was wondering. I couldn’t continue to work at a place that does that sort of thing. And now Tim Cook is showing the world he supports white supremacist Donald Trump.


I wish I was surprised by all the media orgs bowing and scraping to the next president. But this is how they operate. By Jan. 20, they will have completely memory-holed the fact that he is an outright fascist.

Remember: This is a business decision.



“But Democracy Is Not Over” Are you really absolute sure about that? I think it very probably is.

Trump has been screeching since 2015 about wanting to imprison and kill his political opponents, and how he needs people around him who would will do it when ordered because that’s why he couldn’t from 2016-2020. And guess who he’s surrounded by now?

Are you REALLY FUCKING SURE that democracy wasn’t just murdered by all the stupid fucking idiots who didn’t vote for Harris yesterday?

Hi there, I'm considering Tuta for me and my family.
How does it handle a shared family calendar? That's vital for us.
in reply to Patrick Leavy

@patrickleavy You can share entire calendars with all family members, it syncs instantly on all devices. You'll need Revolutionary or Legend for this, and support needs to activate the family option. Do contact us via the question mark to the right of your mailbox once you've subscribed!

This is old, but it shows how you can share the entire calendar and how it then shows up in the other account instantly: youtube.com/watch?v=n8l_xV6z8E…

in reply to Tuta

thank you. Do you have plans to develop a way for people to author docs within Tuta, but in a non-proprietory format e.g. ODF (so non-Tuta people can read them)?

After yesterday I plan to close accounts with any company based in the USA... Which means
- Mastodon as only social media
- tutanota for email
- Linux for OS (already been using this for 20 years)

Any suggestions for search ?



@Tutanota a reminders feature would be a nice thing to have.

So I can switch away from using google calendar for reminders.

@Tuta
in reply to Tuta

I meant more like google tasks or iOS reminders.

i want to see a list of reminders separate from the calendar.

Thanks for the details, will let the developer team know!


More things I've discovered about Newt's music folder. He can play m4a and flac files, there's a graphic equaliser to make the best of the sound, and the music settings are totally independent of the book ones, so I can have more bass on the music without it making the book reading boom and keep me awake! Damn I love this thing so much!

@cachondo I never could get on with rock box, though I know how versatile it is. I can't deal with that voice, though it might be better now. Evo has the Evona voices, which I really like a lot.
in reply to Lulu Hartgen

oh the voice is customisable as part of the setup process. I have Elloquence. But it's not true text-to-speech, you can't load ebooks into it. and all the hardware is old now, of course.

Austrálie plánuje zákaz sociálních médií pro osoby mladší 16 let. bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzd62g…
in reply to #TYDEN (Rychlofky)

Toto je zase taká ftákovina...
Ako budú rozoznávať, že som austrálčan?
Pri registrácii? Podľa toho čo vyplním? Podľa IPčky? V prvom prípade budú deti klamať, v druhom použijú nejakú pokútnu proxynu alebo VPN.
Alebo to budú sledovať podľa IPčky neustále? Čo potom zahraniční návštevníci?
Toľko otázok, a to som sa ešte nedotkol toho AKO by prebiehala taká verifikácia? Neviem, či a aký doklad austrálski teenageri majú, ale cpať oficiálny doklad do ľubovoľnej sociálnej siete nie je vôbec dobrý nápad a zároveň sa opäť sa vraciame k tomu, kto všetko bude spadať pod tento "geniálny" nápad.

Noviembre no es sólo el mes de mi cumpleaños: también es el cumple de muchas instancias en español, y hoy en particular la nuestra cumple 2 años. Este año hemos bloqueado algunas instancias dañinas, hemos limitado Threads, y hemos sufrido una pequeña fuga de amigos mexicanos por culpa de un incidente con un señor religioso. Por lo demás, creo que todo va bien, pero prefiero preguntaros: ¿cómo estáis? ¿Algo que se pueda mejorar? (no vale lo del límite de caracteres)

I'm coping with heavy feelings by writing music, as I often do. So I wrote this little piano, vocal and solo cello piece today called "Better Than This". files.jantrid.net/music/NthDeg…

reshared this

in reply to Jamie Teh

I would like to sing this at my favorite karaoke bar, if you're willing. If you provided an accompaniment track with some kind of count-off, I have a friend who could make it into a video with lyrics, and he has access to the karaoke system at that bar so he could add the track. Now, I'm in Kansas, so there are probably many in that audience who voted for Trump. But I know there are at least a few who would want to hear this. If you don't want someone else to sing your song, that's fine.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt I don't mind. Singing this somewhere there are Trump supporters feels intense - might earn some ire - but that's your call. :) It might be a day or so before I get a chance to open up the project again and get you an instrumental render.
in reply to Jamie Teh

I've asked my friend Tony (the one who would be putting the track in the system for me), who almost certainly feels as we do, what he thinks about me singing it at that bar.
in reply to Matt Campbell

Tony has done political songs before. He and I even did one as a duet once or twice: "Blame the Bible" by Panzy Division youtube.com/watch?v=XiGAylyOL0…

Now that I think about it, there's another karaoke bar in town, a gay bar, where Tony can also add tracks. The song would likely be better received there. They do karaoke on Mondays.

in reply to Jamie Teh

@matt Good old fashioned demucs/other thing could work if you can't get the project open in-time.
in reply to Andre Louis

@FreakyFwoof It can wait. I'd rather wait for Jamie to give me a clean track, with a click-track count-off if possible so I can come in on time, given the lack of intro.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Could easily add it myself if needed, but only if he doesn't get to it first. Throwing a four-stick count in is easy enough.
in reply to Jamie Teh

Wow, that was fast. I truly didn't mean to rush you. Thank you.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt When I get around to publishing this on streaming services, it'll be on an album with the duo I have with a friend, "Electronight Alchemy". But Jamie Teh is good if you want to credit by songwriter name rather than the artist under which it will eventually be published.

Když to tady dneska kluci nakousli, co bylo vaše úplně první auto?

Já měl svoje první MBčko (rv1967). V šedé barvě, krémový interiér a tu vůni si dodnes pamatuju. Koupil jsem ho tehdy za 2500 Kčs od mého dědy, který už nemohl řídit.

To byl rok 1990 (bylo to o tři roky dřív se narodila moje žena 😂)

@Woody have been playing around a little with the Meta Ray-Bans. I’ve just posted a method that I’ve used to get it to read the entire text on a page. Not perfect as it’s a two-step approach but at least it gave the whole text.
You have to ask Meta look and tell me what you see and wait for the summary to complete which is a little painful.
Then I asked Meta without saying hey Meta because you can still do that in the same conversation, read this to me exactly how it is written. It then said extracted text and read the page. Might be worth playing around a bit but that seem to work for me. Cheers.

These AI programs need to have a mode where they just read the text instead of starting out with a summary.

@DavidGoldfield Totally agree and I’m sure you’d like to think that that would happen if not with these but definitely future mainstream devices.


I had a chance to complete surveys from both Doordash as well as with the Walmart app on iOS. I gave the user experience the lowest ratings and explained the issues I'm having with VoiceOver swiping not behaving as expected. With the Walmart app on iOS, swiping stops moving from one item to the next when navigating search results. When in a section of items, moving from one item to the next takes too many swipes; it's just so LinkedIn.
With Doordash, swiping seems to move from one heading or category to the next, rather than moving from one food item to the next.

I don't have Doordash installed, but have the same issue with Walmart, especially when going thru search results. Also, when swiping thru my favorited items, voice over seems to really drag at times and jump back to the beginning of the list.


The Vatican's Anime Mascot Is Now an AI Porn Sensation.

"Incorporating wood sawdust and chips into field soils stimulates fungal growth. In particular, incorporation of hardwood material resulted in rapid and long-term stimulation of fungal filamentous growth. The fungi that develop are not the wood rot basidiomycetes found in forests but ascomycetes (sac fungi) that have easy access to the cellulose polymers in shredded wood."

"Stimulating fungi through wood addition fits well with more sustainable agriculture. It suppresses plant pathogenic fungi and the excess nitrogen, which might otherwise wash out, is captured by the fungi. It also increases the overall diversity of soil life by providing fungal-eating soil creatures with a food source."
