I have this incredible kitchen scale for over 20 years now. It has a swipeable screen and does not need recharging.
You put sth on it, then touch the screen with your finger and swipe right and can measure whatever you put in next.
I do not fully understand the math behind it and how it uses the gravitational fields and atom bonds. But it works reliably and it's always on. Truly magic.
✏️ New blog post: Views on views (looking for feedback)
In AGWG, the working group that makes WCAG, we have been working on potentially changing what is “web page” today to something like “view”, so that the standard works better in other contexts, like native apps and VR.
I gathered some, ahem, views and added my own, feedback much appreciated!
one of my favourite things about Windows 9x is that people made these "software CPU cooling" utilities that made the CPU issue a halt instead of being stuck in an idle loop. "Extreme Cooling" my Intel Celeron right here
@archos Je rozvážné používat tlumočníka. Američané však byli v převaze, byli nehostinní a věc s Ruskem je pravděpodobně už dávno rozhodnuta. Nikdy se nenechat jazykově dominovat! Víme o co jde, že?

We’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern.
@treefit thanks! TIL. I develop and hack bluetooth devices for my day job so if i manage to reverse this scale (have not had time to try yet) i will contribute.
@treefit I have all the parts in stock to make one, I went and bought one because “why would i bother, when off the shelf is only $30”, well i know why i would bother now.
OK yall, those missing shakes from Sonic have arrived. Version 2025.5 of the bestspeech addon fixes the static problem I mentioned in my last couple of updates. It's recommended to update to this version so you don't get startled by a random burst of white noise when using bestspeech with rate boost, especially if you do not use NVDA with wasapi. github.com/samtupy/b32tts_wrap…

I put this up last night, and I probably will again next week. I had this crazy idea of a mastodon meet-up, virtually, where we could all order from a restaurant and eat together. If you think this sounds fun, feel free to fill this out, (don't worry, I'm not collecting too much info), and we'll see if we can get something planned! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
This is a form to see who might be interested in a meet-up lunch or dinner virtually. Please note, I only wish to collect name and/or mastodon username for the purposes of organization.

I need a logo for my FOSS project. The current logo is a placeholder I threw together so I'm looking for anything that's more stylish/creative. Here's the current logo and the only real requirement I have is that the K and the VM stand out since it's supposed to be a play on Linux KVM.
If you're interested please provide a portfolio of previous works you've done (preferably logos, but anything with text in it will do) and a quote if possible.
Payment can be made via PayPal, Ko-Fi, CashApp, or credit card.
Hello everybody. You wanted Sonic? Here is your Sonic, complete with all day breakfast, burgers, chicken and a side for everyone. I'm happy to say that I have successfully implemented rate boost into the Bestspeech NVDA addon as requested! Feel free to grab github.com/samtupy/b32tts_wrap… to try it out. Have fun! Sonic is both the name of the algorithm we're using for rate boost as well as the name of a restaurant I enjoy sometimes, so I couldn't resist the word play haha.
love eating at Sonic! Although the foot-long Coney can give me horrible heartburn, thankfully not experiencing the same with this new fix. :D Huge thanks in getting this done, and while it does muffle consonants slightly, it's really only minor to me and with unvoiced volume at 90 it's good enough to be pleasant. Also love that this had no performance impact, that's superb :D

As is visible, about one third of all reviews came from mapcomplete, only a fraction less then mangrove.reviews itself.
It is also surprising that there are quite a few swiss websites in there.
No big surprises here, seems like food is by far the most popular theme to give reviews on.
Language
From the reviews that had a text, the language breakdown is pretty much in line with the changeset-language statistics.
English: 102
Dutch: 42
German: 37
Russian: 14
French: 12
Locations
The MapComplete-reviews are geographically clustered in Europe and the US – not surprisingly where the biggest and well-connected popuplations live.
However, South America and South-East-asia are starting to popup as well. Flanders is overrepresented in Europe. MapComplete is mainly developed there and had a few projects going on there, so there are more reviews. Conclusion
The reviews work and there is a slow but stable growth in the number of them. The results are predictable and, dare I say it, downright boring.
It must be said that the reviews have gotten a higher visibility in the MapComplete UI, which definitively helped to get more reviews.

Curious how this is going to play out with China? I mean, Russian and China agreed to have a "for ever" relationship, or whatever they called it. Will Russia abuse American weakness or will they now bow to Trump? I assume the former...
