Almost screwed up my dedi because the curses interfaces for yes/no on an apt upgrade was not very accessible and I removed a kernel against a warning. Fortunately, it worked out.
in reply to James Scholes

Not sure, I don't remember how I set it up, but for some yes/no choices it presents the yes and no as two words surrounded by angle brackets, and you choose by tabbing around. I was SSH-ing and NVDA wasn't exactly sure where the cursor was.


Does anyone know about Helmholtz machines, or similar, and would be open to me asking a couple of questions?

I do experimental cognitive psychology and they're outside my expertise, and I think my questions are the type that are hard to answer through reading individual papers myself but should be simple for someone who is familiar with the higher level assumptions and norms of the field.

Thanks!

Have just been sent an accessibility toolkit, in an image only PDF file. Said toolkit includes instructions on accessible document formats. Good luck.

Bit different, but reminds me or when a hospital sent me a letter as an image pdf. I told them that I couldn't read it so they'd need to send it me as a word document.
What came back was the image pdf embedded in a word document.

Just got on to the latest #DoctorWho Time War box set (after a catch up). Nowhere, Never is beautifully trippy. Loving itโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m now finding myself slightly confused about my own continuity.
in reply to Theta Sigma

Wow, that deep huh? Our continuity is here, right now, in the present. Wondering about the future, about something so impermanent is pointless, it leads to suffering. But your continuity is sure. Even if say, you believed in a next life and you might not remember, you continue existing. We are all connected on the biggest level, that which makes us humans, and then deeper beyond that. But many don't realise that. I am glad you are now, here, that you wrote this post. And I am glad many are here and now, even though many of the many do not realise the significance of living in the present. With that said, be afraid not of your continuity, but of missing even a single present moment. Ha! I'm sure The Doctor would approve of my speech now. ;)
in reply to Winter blue tardis๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ

@tardis the problem with living in the present is that if youโ€™re not entirely certain of your immediate past or the direction of your immediate future, and your memories and plans have somehow got confused between dream, reality, fiction and possibilities, then the โ€œwho I am right nowโ€ can be confused by the absence of a clear answer to whether that identity is even remotely continuous with the who I may have believed I was going to be in the process of becoming who I may be now.
in reply to Theta Sigma

Yeah, but then comes awareness. Also, if you feel nervous about it, accept it as a new adventure. Maybe a Doctor adventure. :) With a happy ending. Needless to say that, no matter where the continuity of life gets us to, we must be prepared like the Doctor :) But when awareness develops, and when we practice on that development that exists in us in waiting, we learn to distinguish between what is reality and what is fiction. I had, and still have, issues that blur reality for me. So being aware and knowing where reality is, knowing what is true is essential for one's existence. Also, that's a new adventure I took myself, though I did not watch the box set you did. Bring along some companions, a Tardis, and transform the nervousness into an adventure to remember friend.
in reply to Theta Sigma

Also, everything in this world is impermenant. We constantly change. And change is one thing that if we do not accept, we'd be really really stuck unfortunately. Change is an adventure too. Even this Tardis goes through changes. Do you know how many times I spun around in space? Unaware and broken? But there comes a time when if we embrace change, it just works. Needless to say I still think life is like a game. But the most serious one for the players. Like these lit RPG books we read. :D

Stupid PayPal question. If I change my name on PayPal, but my card is still registered with my deadname, will transactions still work?
in reply to Stu

Sure, the name on the card is a separate thing. My wife's used my card on her paypal. Just ensure you put the name on the card in when you add the card.

#Europa necesita de inversiones para detener la caida del empleo

Para ello decidio imponer #aranceles a ยฟtodos? los #vehiculos que no se fabriquen en la #UnionEuropea lo que esta afectando de manera muy dispar a la #industria

Todas las fabricantes de #China deberan pagar al menos el doble y hasta 3 veces mas que la fabricante de #EEUU, #Tesla
1/x

in reply to josmit

Algunos articulos mencionan cifras, pero ninguno se atreve a poner toda la informacion sobre la mesa: ยฟCuantas ayudas reciben las marcas locales y cuanta reciben las extranjeras en sus paises de origen? ยฟReciben directa o indirectamente las locales (a traves de filiales o empresas mixtas) ayudas en los otros paises?

De esto NO SE HABLA UNA SOLA PALABRA en los medios

Lo ironico de esta medida que intenta ayudar a las fabricantes locales, ha sido que todas en su conjunto estan en contra... gracias a esto, #Volkswagen anuncio el cierre no de 2, sino de 3 plantas, #BMW y #MercedesBenz tambien tienen en sus planes reducir su produccion drasticamente, #Stellantis que habia llegado a acuerdos con la empresa asiatica #LeapMotor se estaria quedando sin nada entre las manos y arriesgando a tener que cerrar casi la mitad de su portafolios, porque las empresas chinas estan virando y bajandose de sus planes de inversiones para el viejo continente
3/x

in reply to josmit

Gracias a los aranceles, mas de 10 proyectos de fabricas que se estaban teniendo por seguras en #Espaรฑa, #Belgica, #Polonia, #Italia, #Francia, etc han sido detenidas por las empresas asiaticas, las que probablemente se concentren en #Turquia y otros paises con los cuales la #UE tiene acuerdos de Cero Aranceles

Con estos planes cayendose a las puertas del horno... mas de 1 millon de puestos de trabajo en la Comunidad Europea corren el riesgo de quedar en el paro de manera definitiva

Yesterday I said โ€˜no thanksโ€™ to cake, as I almost always do. Then I saw two slim young women do the performative โ€˜ooh we shouldnโ€™t really but letโ€™s be naughty, weโ€™ll split one!โ€™ dance before ordering dessert. Then I thought: I've never seen men perform that ritual. Then I recalled these skinny mannequins I saw in a shop last year. I'm sad, cross and shocked but not surprised that weโ€™re *still* teaching women to restrict their food and bodies so their appearance can please strangers and society.


We had our monthly community call again yesterday. Curious what we've been discussing and what might be coming to the next AntennaPod releases? Have a look at our short meeting notes: forum.antennapod.org/t/monthlyโ€ฆ
in reply to cuan_knaggs

@mensrea
You can, although we cannot guarantee it'll reach the folks who could implement it. Best place to do it is on forum.antennapod.org. But throw it out โ€“ you're probably not the only one with that idea and we might just have a link for you to an existing request ๐Ÿ˜‰
in reply to AntennaPod

yeah, i'm unlikely to get to the forum. it's a additional sort option for the queue: interleaved. in a queue with multiple podcasts it would sort each podcast by date and then alternate between each pod. so if you have podcasts a, b, c, d your queue would be a1, b1, c1, d1, a2, b2, c2, d2, ...
in reply to cuan_knaggs

@mensrea
We actually already have something along those lines. It's called 'Smart shuffle'. You'll find that option here: Queue > Three dots in top bar > Sort. For details on how it works, have a look here: github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPโ€ฆ
Hope that helps!

I believe in the past you mentioned that in order to fix the issue of being able to resume playback from a lock screen on Android (after a period of time) it would require a significant or maybe even complete rewrite of the app? Is there a master discussion/thread for this bug? It's hard to know what to search for in the forum. Thank you.


So Iโ€™ve had over a year or not being able to upload videos or add alt text using Toot!

Switched to Ice Cubes and it works first time.

Gonna take some getting used to, but here I am.

in reply to Security Writer

Interesting yeah. I also have filters, like a lot of them and I have been able to upload stuff, even alt text, unless it had an update and the tootverse broke. :)

An unanticipated oasis of calm this morning with Father And Son, the Album by Art Garfunkel jr.
The good wife springs into music madness from November, weekends from now on are a chaotic wirlwind of cleaning, shopping, rearranging and generally making ready for the festive period with routine background music accompanyment.
So to hear a voice from my youth, aged and blended with his son, was a bit of unexpected variety.

We're now suffering through Together At Home by Boe and Ball, but you can't have it all.

En Dominoโ€™s tienen una pizza de Kitkat. Eso si que levanta el estรณmago, jejeje.
in reply to Juan Nuรฑez

dominos deberรญa estar prohibida asรญ en general, por malos. Son peores que telepizza, que ya es decir. Buscaros un restaurante de cercanรญa, que suele haberlos muy decentes.
in reply to Juan CBS

Por cierto, no deberรญa yo decir esto, pero muchas pizzerรญas estรกn apareciendo como sombra de los famosos kebab. En Italia los autรฉnticos maestros son los egipcios que hacen unas pizzas muy decentes. En Espaรฑa tambiรฉn estรกn empezando a entrar con mucha fuerza.
in reply to ร“scar Gorri

pues fรญjate, aquรญ hay un restaurante que estรก llevado por gentes del norte de รกfrica, no sabrรญa decirte de donde, pero me da reparo y nunca lo probamos. El reparo no lo tengo tanto porque no sea italiano, sino por tener una carta muy extensa, cartas extensas significan generalmente cocina lamentable o, con suerte, poco buena.
in reply to Juan CBS

La ventaja de la pizza es que hay una sola masa y muchas formas de condimentarla con poquรญsimos ingredientes. Yo le darรญa una oportunidad con alguna de las clรกsicas.
in reply to ร“scar Gorri

Pues yo, desde que probรฉ los Croissants autรฉnticos, o los mรกs franceses que conozco, y hay varios sitios en Madrid donde los hay, desde luego no les echarรญa nada de nada de nada mรกs que su propia composiciรณn. (1/2)
in reply to Enrique Varela Couceiro

Se pueden encontrar buenos croissants aquรญ, pero los hay que buscar, y huir del almรญbar, claro. En Coruรฑa creo que habรญa un sitio que tambiรฉn los hacรญa buenos pero ya hace aรฑos que no voy.
in reply to Juan CBS

Yo, ni Dominoโ€™s, ni Telepizza, ni ninguna cadena. No conozco ninguna que sea buena. De todas formas, nos preocupรฉis que pronto sacarรกn la pizza de nutella, y dejarรฉis de discutir de la piรฑa, que por cierto, para mi gusto, no deberรญa aparecer jamรกs en una pizza.
in reply to Enrique Varela Couceiro

La de nutella es ya vieja! En Italia se encuentra hace muchos aรฑos. En algunos sitios la suelen acompaรฑar a peticiรณn de coco rallado.

Por aquรญ en Santiago hay un sitio que ha ganado premios con pizzas muy peculiares. Sicilia in bocca creo que se llama.
in reply to Enrique Varela Couceiro

Ejem: En Italia tambiรฉn se comen algo parecido a los grelos. La diferencia es que es la misma mata pero cogida bastante antes, mรกs tierna y pequeรฑa. En pizza se suele poner con salsichas especiadas. Por cierto, es ahora la รฉpoca en que se encuentran frescos. Se llaman Brocoletti.
in reply to ร“scar Gorri

Bueno. No tengo ni idea de eso, pero los grelos, ya sabes: son los brotes tiernos del nabo, que se recogen antes de que florezca. Es decir, en esta รฉpoca tambiรฉn es cuando mรกs estรกn en comida. (1/2)
in reply to Enrique Varela Couceiro

Creo que en Galicia los recogen mรกs subidos que en Italia. Yo aquรญ los encuentro mรกs tiernos y algo mรกs amargos, pero son la misma planta.
in reply to ร“scar Gorri

Hay que distinguir grelo de nabiza. El grelo suele ser tierno y amargo. La nabiza es algo mรกs dura.
in reply to modulux

Exacto! Recordaba algo yo sobre eso. Entonces, en Italia y en Galicia se come lo mismo. Aquรญ gusta bien tierna y amarga.

This is awesome and I can't wait to see the progression in this type of technology! Keep in mind it does take a very long time to render the description on even a one minute video so don't plan on your two-hour movie being audio described in a flash. My colleague recorded a demo video in our little group tech training session and it was about 10 seconds. I think it took about one minute or a little less to give us the description. It was really cool, though.

If you've been looking for that next semi-cheap music-making fix but haven't decided what to get, consider Ableton Move.
If you look at the official videos, literature and documentation, you'd be fooled into thinking that it's not actually accessible. This is incorrect.
It runs a web-server for helping you manage samples,recordings and sets, but it also has an undocumented screen-reader which I demonstrate in this video.
Next to Komplete Kontrol, I can say that this has been the most innovative, fun and game-changing piece of hardware I've owned and I thoroughly enjoy working with it.
