Oyez, je vous présente… le sélecteur de titres de #transportcollectif de #ARTM pour la grande région de #Montréal, zones A+B+C.
La stupidité absolue d'avoir une technologie comme la carte Opus, le futur de demain de l'an 2008, et maintenir l'incompatibilité entre les régions avec… 5 types de cartes Opus. On ne peut mettre des billets "zone C" sur une carte Opus standard montréalaise.

Le #Québec n'a jamais rattrapé son retard face à la carte Octopus de Hong Kong de 1997.

I really want to convey my appreciation for Ally. Of all of the generative chat bots I've used, Ally is what an AI chatbot should be. I appreciate that I can just ask it to focus on a specific image without the need to activate a button to upload a photo. Also, the latest Test Flight build now allows me to fine-tune it so that it just provides me with information without trying to act like my human best friend. It's a great service. Thank you for making it available.

Every year, Focus on the Family offers generous discounts on their audio dramas, including adaptations of the Narnia stories by C. S. Lewis, Little Women, a Christmas Carol and others. These files are in unprotected MP3 format and so they can be played on any device which can play MP3 audio files, such as a Victor Reader Stream, SensePlayer, Evo 10/12, smart phone, a BT Speak, etc.
I don’t know when this sale began or when it expires. Several years ago, I purchased their Narnia stories, along with “a Christmas Carol” and the acting and production values were excellent.

Does anyone fancy testing an #inkscape node editing branch?

One of Inkscape's most important features is node editing. I really believe we're better than Illustrator, Affinity et al at this specific feature. So with this GSoC adding functionality I need people with Inkscape experience to test it and make sure it's not breaking workflows:

You can see animations in the description about what it's doing. Comment there or here if you try it. And THANKS!

Considering the sad closure of #Mull browser and all #DivestOS-related projects, I need to change Android browser.
I was wondering which are the differences between @privacybrowser and its derivative @monocles
They both seem nice and safe. Also coveryourtracks.eff.org give pretty good results!
Hints?

@ppatel Well', in theory, yes. In practice there's little evidence to support the claim that Americans want progressive agenda. I wish I observed the opposite. With as much anger as Trump projected during the last election, you would have thought a tiny fraction of the popular vote went to him... Perhaps I don't understand this country, but I am speaking from my personal observations.

@vick21 I get that. But it's been documented in polls. For ex, back when Obamacare was still new, people said they were against it until you asked about its components (also, if you called it ACA, not Obamacare, but that's a different story). Then they were a YES for the components.

That's true of a number of issues and policies. There have been repeated segments about this on various political shows.

The number pi has an evil twin! It's a number called ϖ with many properties similar to π. There are even mutant trig functions connected to this number, called sl and cl.

So maybe while you were studying trig in high school, some kid in another galaxy was having to memorize all the identities for these other functions.

I doubt it. Just as pi and trig functions are connected to the circle, this number and its mutant trig functions are connected to a curve shaped like the symbol for infinity, ∞. But this curve is just less important than the circle. I'm not enough of a cultural relativist to believe there's a civilization that cares more about the shape ∞ than the shape ◯.

This ∞-shaped curve is called a 'leminscate', and I'll show it to you in my next post. A civilization will probably only get interested in ϖ when it gets interested in the lemniscate.... or the deeper math it's connected to. On our planet, it was Bernoulli, Euler and Gauss who discovered this stuff.

(Why does unicode even have the symbol ϖ? Here's why: it's a script version of the Greek letter pi, sometimes called 'varpi' or 'pomega'.)

Did you know that you can configure custom notification sounds per contact or group chat in #Conversations_im?

Apparently not many people knew that so the next version will make, what essentially is a native Android feature, easier to access via the overflow menu of contact or group chat details.

Peter Vágner reshared this.

Man, corporations really want to put a stop to libraries:

cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/otta…

"Depending on the title, public libraries may pay two or three times more for an e-book than they pay for its print edition. In some cases, the e-book may be up to six times the price, librarians told CBC."

"Those publishers ... will often license copies of e-books for just 12 or 24 months. Once that licence expires, libraries must repurchase access to the same book." #canada #cdnpoli #books

We have no affiliation and make no endorsements herein but we share this because one of our friends in the BITS chat had recently been discussing #BrailleEmbosser products. As such we make mention of the Boxing Week sale at #Humanware on magnifiers, audio products and some of their #Braille displays and embossers. store.humanware.com/hus/promot…

The Book of Winter: By Christine Malec and J.J. Hunt
J.J. and I participated in this extremely satisfying collaboration. It’s a Solstice story with a magical book and a breath of hope. J.J. invented some of his signature vivid descriptions, around which this story grew. It’s 42 minutes long, and I hope it’s a refreshing Holiday read/listen. talkdescriptiontome.buzzsprout…
