New in Foobar2000 for Mac V2.25 preview: "Added keyboard shortcut mapping functionality."

Yeeees!!!! This is what I've been waiting for for ages. The Mac version received everything else I used, and behaves very similarly and runs just as quickly as the Windows version, but literal 0 support for hotkeys was a dealbreaker. It goes without saying that, like the Windows version you need to go in and set up the keys yourself and at least for this initial preview there is absolutely no default hotkeys defined where the Windows one at least has some menu items configured. It also currently doesn't support global shortcuts or hotkeys without a modifier so sadly still no space to play or pause for me. Even then this is a huge improvement and I can actually see myself using this as my default player now also on Mac. You can download from here

CC @masonasons think you were also waiting for this.

Did you see this? It's an artist's conception of how gravity from the tiny moon Daphnis creates ripples in Saturn's rings - created by Kevin Gill of NASA.

This image was pretty popular here, and elsewhere on the web - but people often don't come out and say from the start that it's not a photo. The actual photos are less beautiful but... hey, they're real! And the ripples look different in the photos. Let's take a look.

This 2005 photo, taken by the Cassini probe, was the first time anyone actually saw Saturn's moon Daphnis! It's only 8 kilometers across.

This gap in Saturn's A ring was first discovered by Voyager, and it was named the Keeler Gap. It's 35 kilometers wide. I guess this gap let people guess the existence of a moon, and later the ripples in the A ring let people guess where the moon must be! I don't really know the history here.

Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 11th May 2025


Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.


(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

Here’s a fun one… Microsoft added copilot features to sharepoint. The copilot system has its own set of access controls. The access controls let it see things that normal users might not be able to see. Normal users can then just ask copilot to tell them the contents of the files and pages that they can’t see themselves. Luckily, no business would ever put sensitive information in their sharepoint system, so this isn’t a realistic threat, haha.

Obviously Microsoft have significant resources to research and fix the security problems that LLM integration will bring with it. So much money. So many experts. Plenty of time to think about the issues since the first recall debacle.

And this is what they’ve accomplished.

Maar deze nieuwe technofix doet niets aan de kern van het probleem: “Bijen hebben nood aan meer onbespoten bloemen”.

Z Trilium Notes jsem zatím nadšený a vypadá to, že bude dalším kandidátem na @oscloud – ale pozor, jde o nástroj primárně pro jednoho uživatele, takže instalace bude jen na vyžádání pro vážné zájemce.

🔍 Co je TriliumNext?
Open source aplikace pro správu poznámek a osobní znalostní bázi – běží v prohlížeči, ale instaluje se jako vlastní server.

Nabízí:
👉🏻 hierarchii a klonování poznámek (stejná poznámka může být na víc místech)
👉🏻 šablony (např. denní poznámky, TODO, trackery)
👉🏻 podporu skriptů
👉🏻 vlastní HTML/JS widgety (grafy, trackery, dashboardy)
👉🏻 vyhledávání, štítky, připnutí, historii změn
👉🏻 šifrování poznámek a export do ZIPu

💡 Dá se použít jako deník, osobní wiki, plánovač projektů, nástroj pro sledování návyků nebo třeba tréninkový deník.

🛠️ Je to trochu pro „fajnšmekry“ – Trilium má své specifika a chvíli trvá, než ho člověk dostane do ruky. Ale stojí to za to. 💪🏻

I have two burning questions about the VIewPoint AI screen reader: 1. Why for WIndows only, and 2. Where does the collected data go? I did not see any disclaimers on their website. What did I miss?
On the flip side, so cool to see AI being put to a good use. Developers, please do not relax though, you still have to take care of accessibility. :) dragonscave.space/@Woody/11447…


Viewpoint is a new AI-powered screen reader assistant for Windows screen readers. It is free. It is designed to make it easier to use inaccessible software, read PDF files and navigate inaccessible websites while using any Windows screen reader.

Because Viewpoint is powered by Google Gemini you will need a Gemini API key. This is free.

Random reminder that #BillGates is the reason why AstraZeneca #COVID vaccine is patent-encumbered:
wired.com/story/opinion-the-wo…

> Gates bragged about convincing Oxford University not to open-license its vaccine. Gates leveraged his $750 million donation to the university for vaccine research—even though its vaccine was developed in a publicly funded lab. Eventually, Oxford sold the sole right of production to AstraZeneca, with no guarantee of low prices and an extraordinary opportunity for profit.

For my disabled followers, what do you consider when thinking about inclusive swag? Swag in this case meaning t-shirts, coffee mugs, backpacks, stickers, etc. that you acquire through conferences, work, or other places.
I struggle to name what I look for in swag for it to be inclusive as a blind person; I think the most I'd look for is cool tactile design on t-shirts and perhaps embossed designs on stickers. But even that's a stretch; I've never felt strongly enough to remotely consider this, and that's why I'm here! I also consider things like Braille to be a novelty, and don't feel excluded when it doesn't exist. In a nutshell--I don't really care. But I'm sure someone out there does. Surely there's at least one of you.
Please boost for reach.
