Even huge company like #google sucks in #UX so much.
This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?
Youtube UX: no link to the video, but here you can watch some different stuff...

@Razemix Oh. I just figured out there is a context menu on a right click.
Invested years of playing escape rooms and puzzle hunts is starting to pay off.

@ebassi I feel stupid. Is this a reference to that book by Neil Strauss?

It’s funny how the only reason WhatsApp exists is to help Meta show you more targeted ads.

You are not paying with your data—you are literally paying by being psychologically manipulated into buying shit you don’t need.

It rather exists to steal the addressbook off peoples phones and then use the social graph that results from that to do all sorts of bad things, not only target advertisement better.
in reply to Kris

@kris considering that 95% of Meta's revenue comes from selling ads that's probably the one bad thing that most users should be concerned about.

Tyhle kufry Garmin mi vyhovují mnohem víc než od Shimana, proto jsem je dal na nejlepší tretry (letní DMT).

Tak co zimáky — spokojenost?

in reply to Pavel Kout

@pavelkout
Botky super, fakt díky za tip. Mně ty kufry přijdou trochu volnější. Ty žlutý jsou víc fest, ale v pohodě.

Ako počúvam Dobré ráno sobota ma napadlo že tie telové kamery pre policajtov možno nie sú ani tak problém materiálny alebo ako to zrealizovať ale či sa nestretáva s odporom zo strany Polície. To len tak, môžem sa mýliť.

To potom nemôžeš byť like a... "ty k***, choď do p***, ťa tu roz****", nebudeš môcť nikoho biť, budeš sa musieť kontrolovať a robiť robotu dobre. Tu je to asi trochu opačne.

Asi sa mýlim, len taký pocit.

There are too many EV charging networks in Australia. So far I've had to install 11 apps and register my card details with them.
Sure, once that's done it's easy to charge at each of them. But how about just accepting a credit/debit card at the charger?

But but but... how could they extract other personal data from you if they just did that?

Well, I've taken the plunge and done it. Though I'm perfectly happy on X, I've joined BlueSky Social, mostly to check it out for accessibility and follow a few friends over there. @wesderby@bsky.social for anyone over there who's interested.
in reply to Wes Derby

When time allows, please consider letting us know what it's like from the standpoint of accessibility.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield Will do. I can say so far, I’m very much underwhelmed. I won’t say it’s a complete accessibility nightmare, but I also will say it’s not for the faint of heart, at least on iOS. Going to test the website later. Probably going to do a podcast episode on it over the weekend.

Peeps, is flatpak-pip-generator actually outputting checksums in the JSON for anyone? Did something break?


Has anyone found a really good WebDAV server for Android? Asking because you can actually mount those as network drives in Windows and interact with them through File Explorer. I currently use WiFi Pro FTP Server, which does exactly what you'd expect and does it well ... but is FTP/S. I'm finding myself interacting with my S10E's filesystem often enough that this would be really useful, and either MTP or USB2 is a huge bottleneck anyway.
in reply to x0

@x0 @masonasons @jscholes Somehow, I've never tried rclone before today. I just did (not even mount yet, which isn't my current use case) and I'm wondering why this has never been in my life before this point. I must have been living under a rock or something. I've heard of it before, but I thought it could only do S3 and hosting services like that. Turns out it can do... many services, including consumer ones.
in reply to Jamie Teh

@jcsteh @masonasons @jscholes I know right? THere's a post of mine a while back about how rclone is just one of those programs. I can use it for a Windows rsync equivalent when syncing directories too, it need not be remote. Unlike rsync it doens't do per-file deltas to my knowledge, it's all or nothing on a per-file basis, but at least it can track renames. And it's inherently trivial to sync entire directory trees. The ability to *mount* a webserver outputting an http index and download/sync from that as if it were, say, an NFS or FTP server is perhaps the coolest thing ever.

In the latest #MosenMove developments, Bonnie discovered a company run by a couple of entrepreneurial guys, called Bolt Bins. The site is accessible, and very easy since it uses Shop Pay, so it already knew who I was, had my payment details and knew our address.
Bolt Bins will quickly deliver a huge bin holding 1, 2 or 3 cubic meters of stuff. It’s kind of like an incredibly sturdy canvas bag. We’re using it to load more priceless, irreplaceable technological mementoes, or junk, depending on which of us you are talking to. Bah.
Then, when you’re done, you just push the request pickup button on the top of the website, and they pick it up and take it away! Cool! And effortless too.
But you mark my words, one day, Bonnie’s going to regret throwing out that old charger for, for, well whatever it once charged. You mark my words I tell you! And those floppy disks too! And the RS-232 cable.

I assume you are taking your parallel and serial cables with you as well? LOL


Some of y'all here would see a story about someone's experience with genocide written on Google docs or discussed on Zoom & attack those bringing this story to the fore for using the wrong platform.

Makes you look so incredibly privileged & out of touch.

The priority can be to reach as many people as possible using platforms that are easy for them to use, rather than proving that one is against Big Tech.

Same attitude that makes some of the most vulnerable people not want to use Mastodon.

Intéressant, dans #Windows11 24H2 ils ont ajouté une nouvelle disposition de clavier française. Maintenant on a plein de choses avec AltGr, même le fameux œ. Par contre, il est maintenant très difficile d'ajouter des raccourcis clavier avec Ctrl+Alt parce que dans ces cas-ci AltGr ouvre des applis au lieu de produire des lettres…
in reply to André Polykanine

Практически ничё не понял, но я так понимаю, что-то читается не так как хотелось бы, а там уж фиг знает))
Вообще надеюсь когда-нибудь найти время на французский, хотя бы на базовом уровне, чтобы понять например, смогу ли разобраться с этими загадочными правилами чтения. Помню ты говорил что там всё не так сложно, но блин, когда увидел что фамилия Жиру, может быть написана как Girous и Giroud, подумал что понимание всей логики оно для избранных.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Там фигня читать, но сложно писать. То есть, грубо говоря, читать ты можешь научиться ну за полчаса-час, но это не гарантирует, что ты сможешь правильно написать каждое слово, это всё же не испанский и даже не итальянский. А я написал, что в новой Винде, которая 24Х2, добавили вообще новую французскую раскладку, где занята почти вся клавиатура с правым Альтом. А правый Альт, как известно, действует ещё и как Альт-Контрол, поэтому становится неудобненько назначать ярлыки на горячие клавиши.
in reply to André Polykanine

А, теперь понял что это было. Мда уж, странное решение с новой клавиатурой.
Кстати не помню где читал или от кого слышал, что французы часто пишут с какими-то знатными ошибками, условно в комментах к какому-нибудь посту. Видимо и для них написание это квест.
in reply to André Polykanine

Если оно так, то могу понять почему. Вроде есть такое слово lourd "тяжёлый" кажется. Поставил себя на их место, ага, знаю как оно звучит и чё означает, а вот как пишется, да хрен его знает, может быть lourd или lourp.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Да, это проблема, особенно среди, как бы это сказать… выходцев из арабских стран, у которых по сути дома арабский, а французский только в школе, и то если школа нормальная. А сам понимаешь, где арабский, а где французский, даже без всякой политоты.
in reply to André Polykanine

Вот да, хорошо ещё если школа вообще есть, а то бывает по-всякому.
in reply to Kirill

@Yinshi Сам видел вот такое, своими слепыми глазами. Сравни, как говорится, результат. Перевод: «Я не знаю, о чём она говорит». Правильно: «Je ne sais pas de quoi elle parle». что увидел я и запомнил до сих пор: «Je ne sé pa de koi el parl».
in reply to André Polykanine

Мда уж, похоже кто-то пытался написать с того как слышит и не знает как должно быть.
