Hay gentecilla nueva por aquí así que me apetece presentarme. Soy Alba, de Andalucía, trabajo escribiendo, normalmente como periodista de moda y cultura. Hasta aquí llegué huyendo de X en su día y me quedé porque tengo un interés creciente por ver cómo la literatura, la tecnología digital y la naturaleza entretejen posibilidades para la vida en este escenario de crisis del clima. Avivo un club de lectura sobre literatura y territorio en Mastodon. Bienvenidxs!🪔
"Four typhoons have been detected in the Pacific Ocean at the same time, making it the first time such a phenomenon has occurred in the month of November since observations began in 1951.
In total, at least 160 people have already been killed while 9 million have been displaced from multiple storms. "
"Usagi is the fifth major storm to hit the Philippines in just three weeks, with a sixth forecast for this weekend. At least 160 people have been killed and nine million displaced, while the unusual frequency has left people already struggling with the aftermath of previous heavy rains and flooding little time to prepare for the next strike."
"But the streak of violent weather was forecast to continue in the central Philippines, where Tropical Storm #ManYi is set to reach coastal waters by Sunday.
The weather service said it could potentially strike at or near the heavily populated capital, #Manila."
"The #Philippines has ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people and cancelled dozens of flights as a “potentially catastrophic” #typhoon – the sixth storm in a month – approaches the archipelago.
Packing winds of 240km/h (149mph), Man-yi [aka #Pepito] was upgraded to a super typhoon."
Typescript having both undefined and null is mildly annoying. Semantically undefined is what you should be using to denote that something may or may not have a value in your types or function arguments. But if you're working with a non-typescript library or getting something from an external source, null is actually what you should be checking for in many cases. If you only check for undefined because that's what the types say, but you get null instead, your program explodes.
The accordion-like design makes it easier for people to not only grip their phone, but use it as a de-facto stand while watching video or doing FaceTimes.
Hi! Are you familiar with the 11 labs reader? I'd like to know if there is a way I can import my library into it so I can read the books I want to read instead of just the books that keep popping up. I don't see any buttons that will let me add my own personal material. Is that even a thing we can do?
@EJGilbert Hi, Leianora. Yes, you can import your own files into the ElevenLabs reader, although it supports very few file types. On the main screen of the app, you should find an Add button which VoiceOver reads as a'import button, image, possibly Add." . Once you activate this button, at the bottom of the screen you should see the following choices, Write Text, Paste Link, Import File and Scan. Choose Import File. You should then be in a file browser where you can select available locations, such as OneDrive, iCloud Drive, etc. Essentially, I believe it's the UI of the Files app. For best results, I recommend importing plain text files.
I see welcome back on my screen and then it says jump back into your recents Then it starts listing things like Cinderella, goldilocks and the three bears, The Little Matchgirl, etc. Do I even have the right app?
@EJGilbert After the Welcome Back message, do you see an Account button? If not, I suspect that you need to sign in or register by creating an ElevenLabs account. It's possible that this is a required step in order to import your own files. I did this as soon as I installed the app so I've never seen what happens without first signing in.
@EJGilbert That's very odd, as I also created an account via Sign in With Apple and I'm not paying extra for a premium account with them so I'm not sure why the app isn't providing a button to import your own files. Are there any other ElevenLabs Reader users who could comment on this?
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 Yeah, you would think, right? I did too. It would behave the same way as when the video actually shows up. We could call it a consistent UI. But no. The logo does nothing. It's not a link. Actually clicking on it took me to the suggested video as i is partially rendered under it. I had to open dev tools to dig out the video link from the iframe src attribute as there really is no link to the video in the view.
@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.
I am not using it, so please excuse my naive question. Is WhatsApp still "officially" cionsidered e2e-encrypted? Is there any widely-accepted evidence that it is not so?
I have to use it, my sons a playing soccer, there war WA-Groups. BUT: I have old android devices running with LineageOS/DivestOS, nothing. Only use is Whatapp. With this installed Whatsapp (registered on home numbers/fax ) I connect via the Whatsapp-Web-Connection with my XMPP("Whatsmenow")-transport or with some whatsappweb-apps (F-droid for example). The whatsapp-devices I call "Wanze" ("bugging device") and it is mainly switched off, once per week it is on for a few minutes for syncing. Thats my way to deal whith that. The people in the groups know that this is not for fast reading and reacting and if it is urgent, they send me a SMS .
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.

Hi, if you think you've discovered a bug in LibreOffice, our QA community would appreciate a quick bug report at bugs.documentfoundation.org – Please provide details about your setup (LibreOffice version, operating system, steps to reproduce, and screenshot if relevant). Thanks!
I have a repo called the Opera Omnia - it's a collection of JSON lists of things like armor, adventures, character classes and such that you can use in your games. I have a simple web app that you can use to browse the Omnia oov.puter.site/
Every so often, you get something that's clearly a labor of love. Apple has acquired the innovative digital reverb legacy of Quantec and its late founder Wolfgang "Wolf" Buchleitner and built it into Logic Pro for iPad and Mac.
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.
Puzzle constructors like Anna Shechtman are pushing to make crosswords more socially and linguistically inclusive. She writes about gender and puzzles in her memoir “The Riddles of the Sphinx: Inheriting the Feminist History of the Crossword Puzzle.”
My plans may have been derailed today, but I wound up spending it with a friend I hadn't really caught up with properly in a long time. I think this was meant to be.
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?
My grandfather used to tell me the reward for doing something difficult was being expected to do a better job at something harder, so what has the work of taking care of each other through this pandemic been if not preparation for taking care of each other as times get even worse
A quick in-person glance at the We Are Rewind cassette player and the Fiio DM-13 CD player reveals they are seemingly not as advanced as their vintage counterparts.
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.
@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.
@DavidGoldfield Is there an API yet? I think it may eventually emerge as the mainstream social network of choice. Mastodon is too nitch, threads is already annoying people.
@Jage @DavidGoldfield Sounds like maybe…Check their site, blsky.social as it looks like it links to some clients…None of which appear to be accessible, naturally.
@Jage @DavidGoldfield @app Yeah…It can be done, it’s just clunky. I’ll keep it for a while and continue messing with it, but until it fixes its access issues, X and Mastodon will remain superior.
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.
@jscholes WinFSP is still slower than native Windows support in my experience, but that could be an option. My explorer replacement does support FTP, but I was hoping to extract some zip files directly to the phone.
@masonasons @jscholes Doesn't the regular explorer support that, via the FTP extension provided with fucking internet explorer of all things, which you can get to via map network drive? You should actually be using rclone BTW, with WinFSP..
@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.
@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.
Clearly, the president elect favors sex offenders like himself. Why would that be? LOL Perhaps they will offend each other now? journa.host/@w7voa/11348963111…
