With the clarity of hindsight, it's fine to say Honda would obviously nail a reusable rocket test

But, I don't think anyone outside the company actually expected this. Honda has a history of venturing out to experimental work E.G. robotics, but this is totally new

How accessible is web browsing on Amazon Fire TV?

In this video, @patrick_h_lauke, Principal Accessibility Specialist, takes a dive into some of the built-in accessibility features of the Fire TV platform.

For many users with disabilities, web content is just one part of a wider digital experience that includes apps, streaming services, and devices that aren’t traditionally associated with web accessibility.

Note: My antimalware program, MalwareBytes, flagged this site as having malicious activity. I am fairly certain that this was a false positive but it is still wise to scan anything that you download.

I was once told I was being dramatic, when I explained that an animation was making me nauseous. Expect: I’m not the only one.
Motion and pseudomotion in digital interfaces can trigger nausea, vertigo, migraines, and even seizures for users with vestibular disorders, migraines, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

one of the more astounding things I've learned from Jon is that rail nerds and rail advocates love trains more than the rail industry loves trains.

A couple of versions ago I introduced a setting in #Conversations_im to hide the avatars next to message bubbles.

I'm personally not a big fan of the look, but it does bring it closer to what Signal and Google Messages are doing.

The next version will split that out into two settings: One that controls the avatar on received messages and one on sent messages. (Indicating what account is being used.) Hiding only the latter is a decent compromise for those who use the app with a single account.

Please join us for our monthly webinar scheduled for Tuesday, July 1 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. We’ll be introducing a new feature which will be included
in the next BT Speak update. You will also have a chance to ask questions and provide feedback to the team at Blazie Technologies.

I have taken to looking for Copilot AI in GitHub responses before filing issues. If it’s there, I don’t file. Feeling a bit validated here:

(limited alt to come, but if you want more ask OP…)


Sent a pull request to Audacity fixing a crash bug I'd been running into frequently. The cause was an out-of-bounds memmove. Classic C++ areas.

Anyway I got a fucking copilot review on my PR which left two comments, both completely wrong, one of which suggesting I reintroduce the out of bounds memory access. I'm furious!


Alas I've just ordered a WIFI enabled, AI washing machine; and the copyright doesn't even include CURL; I thought the 5 year warranty would enable be to ask @bagder for advice on getting my clothes cleaner.
Still, it seems to have everything else, NuttX and contiki low power OSs (neither of which I've come across), Uboot, wpa_supplicant, cJSON, FatFS
(They've had fun misprocessing the GPL text as html or something)

@rooktallon I think that the contents of all of these archives of vintage blindness software, manuals, periodicals, etc., should definitely be uploaded to the @internetarchive just as someone did with Playback. I'm willing to assist with this but I won't have time in the next few weeks. If anyone has the time to do it, please feel free.

Purism- CNN Report

In a recent CNN report, skepticism surrounds the Trump Organization’s claim that its new “T1” smartphone is “Made in the USA.”

Experts, including Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the claim, citing striking similarities between the T1 and a low-cost Chinese phone, the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, made by Wingtech, a Chinese manufacturer.

Weaver emphasized the logistical and technical difficulty of building a phone in the U.S.
