V hospodě kam teď v létě s dětmi chodíme je trampolína, a přímo nad ní je ptačí hnízdo. Děti jsou tím nadšené a jinak samozřejmě zadělané až za ušima! 😅
Me to prijde jako vyber random veci. A confirmation bias.
V tom vyberu asi nejsme tak liberalni jako Nemci. Ale jestli si nekdo o Cesku mysli, ze je to konzervativni zeme, tak by mel vyrazit treba do Ameriky, Polska... to by se divil.
@mwenisch Klidně by ten výběr mohl být širší. Já si osobně nemyslím, že bychom byli konzervativní země, ale bohužel máme přetlak konzervativců a zastánců statusu quo v obou komorách parlamentu. Bohužel, v některých věcech bychom se mohli inspirovat i u toho konzervativního Polska. Stejně jako v Německu je tam dostupné konopí na předpis pro každého (nemusí mít ani diagnózu).
@mwenisch Amerika jak kde, já byl teď v Kalifornii a z těch 🏳️🌈 vlajek by se tak třetina čechů co znám asi s prominutím posrala. Asi si každý může za lidi ve svém okolí, ale já s textem bohužel musím souhlasit. @donbahno
@mwenisch Nemyslím si, že bychom byli méně konzervativní, jen to má jinou podobu. Češi jsou spíš pasivně konzervativní. Odmítají změny, volí ty, kteří jim je slíbí blokovat, ale nejsou militantně konzervativní, že by kvůli tomu zvedli zadky a něco udělali (což je v tomto případě moc dobře). Zároveň u nás není ten náboženský konzervatismus, ale o to silnější ekonomický. Co se týče třeba podpory obnovitelných zdrojů nebo rozvoje elektromobility, jsme opravdu jedni z nejhorších v Evropě. Polsko je na tom podstatně lépe. Nevím, jestli to je vlastnost naší společnosti, nebo jen spíš byla vychýlená naším polistopadovým vedením. Klaus a spol. tady dost nastavili atmosféru, že jakákoliv změna je eurohujerismus a ekošílenství.

this one hallucinates a cat, says the dog is standing, mistakes the pink blobs for balloons and hallucinates a yellow balloon, makes up trees that aren't there, and doesn't mention the main focus of the comic, which is the two animals flying through the air thanks to the bubble gum bubbles they're making!
but yeah no cool, really really great technology for disabled people: just lie to blind folks about what's in a picture! what could go wrong!
garbage garbage garbage, if you're pushing this shit technology instead of advocating for people to take a minute to write a decent alt text then fuck you
It's unreliable, but it's better than the alternative which in most cases is nothing. Descriptions of unusual images are iffy, but for example finding out what a screen says, which lights are on on a router, what sort of liquid is in a jar... Lots of blind people are benefiting from this routinely. And there are no good alternatives. There's no reasonable world where we can count on a sighted person being always there to describe anything.
I hear what you're saying about VI people using it. There are other options. Like, it's not like we're left without options. For example of a description effort without AI, explain how #Alt4Me works so well on here, as an alternative. Is it just a fluke in your eyes? @modulux @dumpsterqueer
Oh, that's definitely viable for images posted on the fedi. But image description of things around us for example is a lot harder. If I need to know what's around me, or what things are on a shelf or such, there's not much way around it. Projects with human volunteers are fine, but, for me at least, I'm pretty inhibited about letting some stranger see my living environment and such.
as someone who ran a heathcliff edit account on twitter for years, hand-wrote alt text for four comics posts every day, and convinced several of the other folks in that community to do the same, the alternative is this. it is doing the work, writing the text.
and while i might agree with you that it’s better than nothing on a silly social media post, it’s real bad in my professional life where it just lies about financial numbers in a chart &c.
Right, where alt text can be provided, a human should provide it. But the world doesn't come with alt text, and can't. There are lots of things that can be done in tech to mitigate it, for example a device might beep in order to give feedback instead of just having lights. But there's tons of visual information in the world that's not really subject to this sort of solution.
i get it, i just really worry about the ‘better than nothing’ argument when like… even the op we were talking about… sure it’s low-stakes, but that alt text has zero bearing on the actual image. is having a fundamentally different experience really what we want to be pushing? and again, it trickles down and is getting harder and harder to push back on stuff in my professional life where it’s like… actually important. it worries me.
Yeah, worries me too; and I definitely don't want AI to be another excuse for people to give up on alt text or a11y, which already some people are doing. I'm just saying, there are cases for which I really can't see how it would be possible to do better, regarding descriptions of physical things in the world.
This is wonderful. I love hearing about all the successes with the Monarch but it also makes me sad. Like I have moneyffbuy one if I really wanted, and I'm hoping that the membrane on the Monarch I tried was messed up somehow. or that the unit by defective. Theguy showing it to me was a sighted person so I'm not sure he would have known how Braille should feel. the thing just sounds so awesome, but I couldn't read through it. Talking to other people, no one is havingth. Hoping to find another one near Portland, Oregon or Vancouver, washington to try.
If you run into anyone in PortlandeaWashington Vancouver, Washington area who has one, that would be great. I think it was a combination of sjtting in that awful student chair in the school for the blind and feeling rushed and startled by the membrane because I couldn't even read words that I knew what they were. He read Braille by sight, the instructor. I'm so sad because I want a multi so bad and could actually buy one. I just can't buy something I can't read.
@EdenLinnea If I may ask, does the seller not offer a thirty day return policy? One of the few great things about our equipment is that, even before the policy became widespread, the vendors of adaptive stuff offered thirty day, no questions asked, returns.
@techsinger Yes, of course. Bt is 18 grand. It is a lot quicker to spend than to get back. If I put this much on credit, while it would not max me out, I would have to use about four cards. I would then just pay it off a good way to get some rewards. And I might have done that, had my first experience not been so horrid. But just since I've not heard this complaint from others, I mean, some don't really like it, but they can read through it. So I just think before knocking it for good I should try another one.
@EdenLinnea I see what you're saying. It makes sense, and I'm sorry about the difficulty. It's obviously the price tied to the rarety and general headache of getting the product for a test.

Auf dem ehemaligen #Twitter kann man offenbar wirklich alles machen, ohne, dass man (in der #EU) belangt werden kann: #Hass, schwere #Beleidigungen, #Morddrohungen, ...
Alle Abkommen wie der #DigitalServiceAct, die da etwas anderes behauptet haben, sind wirkungs- und sinnlos. Wie so viele Abkommen mit den #USA.

For the next release of #Conversations_im I’m switching the default for showing all messages, including sent ones, left aligned, to 'on' for all tablets.
Combine this with disabling 'Colorful chat bubbles' and this looks pretty clean and almost like a regular desktop app.
This post is also a reminder to existing tablet users that those two settings exist. Too bad there aren’t that many of you.
Hello. Please tell me why after sending the gpg key through Conversations_im I can't download it as a regular txt file? The same with the gpg encrypted txt file. I want to just send and download what I submitted.
Tablet layouts might get more popular again with Android 16 significantly improving their desktop mode. I have been using a Conversations fork a bit via my Lapdock and some additional polish to make it easier to use this way is apprechated. For example adding support for sending messages by pressing the enter key on a keyboard would be really good.
Facebook users opting to upload their photos for “cloud processing” are inadvertently giving Meta AI access to their entire camera roll, including photos that have not been uploaded to Facebook’s servers.
Here's the absolute weirdest electric vehicle you've ever seen. It was called the Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway in the UK, and it's an elevated tram which ran on submerged (at high tide) tracks. It started running in 1896 but was knocked out of action a week later by a storm. It was rebuilt and ran for 5 years, carrying thousands alongside the beach for no immediately obvious reason. 😄 It's long since gone but the fact it actually existed is surreal.

We've recently made many tweaks to improve accessibility of our settings pages for keyboard users, screen reader users, and users who have JavaScript disabled. Ensuring Kagi is accessible is a priority for us.
Most VOA headquarters staff, who were emailed Reduction-in-Force notices a week ago, are being informed today the RIF notification is rescinded, but USAGM warns them the agency will be "running another RIF in the near future."
As one of my colleagues puts it: "Our chain is being yanked again."
Wow, why are they fooling around with people lives like that? You’re fired, you’re not, oh no, sorry, you are, but no, not yet, please come back to the office. WTF?
@vick21 So they will eventually "self-deport" -- make the situation so unbearable that they quit the job, then the agency doesn't have to deal with the fallout / legal actions of illegally firing them.
> A veterinarian said the dog suffered contusions to his right rib area and ordered “rest and a mild dose of pain meds,” agency spokesman Stephen Sapp said in an email.
what a fucking scam, a vet wouldn't charge $840 for a wellness checkup and some doggy aspirin. That's $100 max.
@feld this is like assaulting a police dog, they're going to throw the book at you because you were insubordinate to their petty authority no pun intended
@sun @feld Anyone should have the book thrown at them for kicking a dog that wasn't being aggressive, especially a small dog. > 70 year old man from Egypt this has probably been how he's treated any street dog that approached him his whole life without even thinking about it. If he couldn't show any restraint in an airport, then he almost certainly wouldn't in a local park when someone's shih tzu runs up to him. It's for the best that he's deported.
Like fd-find for doing essentially find . -name blah. And rg (ripgrep) which does grep -R but it's aware of git, files like pyc or .bak files, and it excludes them by default.
Now I have sd which is hopefully replacing the last thing I used perl for. I write perl -pi -e s/x/y/ga lot. Just doing a quick string replace inside a file. So sd can start doing that.
I'm also trying to get used to zellij instead of tmux and starship for modern prompt decorations like the kids do.
Ich hab dann jetzt auch mal ne Meinung zu der Anregung gepostet, ob auf der #GPN23 ein Raum für Körperlichkeiten nice gewesen wäre.
Na gut, hauptsächlich hab ich ne Meinung dazu, wie man seine Opposition dazu nicht vorbringen sollte. Mit Queerfeindlichkeit zum Beispiel, oder Klassismus.
Ich hab da erst dran vorbeigescrollt, aber ihn mir jetzt doch angeschaut. Und wow, der hat sehr gute Argumente dafür, warum Kink gut zum Chaos passt, und der Vortragende ist auch einfach super sympathisch. Find ich. Empfehlung!
