Nedavno jsem tu nadaval na kulturu faktur v US. Dneska jsem narazil na borce, co nadaval ze za sluzbu vytezovani faktur chteji 5Kc/kus a ze on to radsi da do Gemini a ma to zadarmo.

O hodinu pozdeji psal, ze mu to na fakturach z US davalo celkovou cenu 0Kc ... firma "uplatnila predplaceny kredit jako slevu".

Jsem si vzpomel, jak nam kdysi ucetni nadavala, at to nedelame.

AI revoluce je obcas parodie sama na sebe.

I'm sure a lot of you know that pressing alt, shift, win, and control on modern Windows opens the annoying MS Office thing. But it turns out you can combine that with letters to launch Office apps and services. For instance, all modifiers with w opens MS Word, n opens One Note, p opens Powerpoint, and so on. Also, here's a reminder that win-control-f24 toggles the trackpad. That's useless on its own, but you can remap that shortcut with AutoHotkey or a similar tool.

Is there any possible way for MacOS to be able to find your location without WiFi being enabled? Surely this must be possible. I mean even with a 3rd party GPS or something. I have a hotspot here that has GPS capabilities, why can't I wire that up so it can read that location data from its API or whatever

I ask because I have automation that ensures WiFi is always off when I'm connected via Ethernet. The MacOS networking always resets the order of preferred network devices so WiFi is first, and even when I "roam" from Wifi to Ethernet it will keep the existing sessions alive over WiFi which defeats the purpose.

So I need WiFi completely off when I don't want to use WiFi.

It would be easier if there was a "DO NOT CONNECT TO WIFI" option but the radio is still on -- then this functionality would still work

So, like, thanks to the SoundSource app from @RogueAmoeba I am able to move the sound coming from my Chrome window to the left of VoiceOver. Why is this important? Well, I am in a meeting and this helps me concentrate better on what my screen reader says. To top it off, I applied 10-band EQ to the Chrome source to shape the sound to fit in better with VO.
I do wish I could pan different sources, not just the main output, though!

I know it’s just a social media post, but I stand with my colleagues and the students at America’s HBCUs.

It’s a short hop from radical anti-intellectualism to outright racism, and we’ve experienced these headwinds before.

But the work to build America’s pluralist democracy will not be halted by this kind of cowardice.

Possibly unpopular opinion: the reason I never got into mainstream videogames with accessibility features is because it feels like it basically just plays itself for you. The two largest examples of this that come to mind are The Last of Us and Forza. I'm not shitting on people who play and enjoy those games, I'm glad they enjoy them. But for me, having the game effectively cheat/play itself for "accessibility" reasons just takes all the fun out of it for me. I'm not playing, the computer is. I'm not much of a gamer, but think I'll mainly stick to my audiogames.

Absolutely, Forza with full driving assist is just a very good background noise generator if you like your background noise to be angry cars, and I also completely agree with your original point insofar as there are games that will do that if the right set of accessibility features are on. But seriously. There are so, so, so many more now than before that are just, not even remotely close to being like that. And it would be very sad indeed if your opinion was based on TLOU (disclaimer: I have not played TLOU and am sort of turned off of trying it precisely because I've heard it's a little bit like what you describe) and Forza on beginner mode. At any point, I will more than happily advise on something with low-effort setup if you let me know what style of game you'd be interested in trying. The set of available titles is not massive, but it is diverse and hella fun.

@guilevi Re TLOU I think the game is still worth playing, you do get a lot of agency in how you wanna approach the combat encounters and what you want to focus on with character upgrades. The story itself is very linear and I agree the nav assist could make exploration for collectables easier, because right now if you want to find them you have to keep scanning for items and can easily miss things. If you want to see how a system like that can be improved, keeping the option to turn you to an objective but also adding a lot of passive radars for items, doors and walls, look at 1428 shadows over silesia. But back to TLOU in the part 2 remake they added the no return mode which is pure combat with added roguelike elements and that's my favorite part of the game. And in that mode you can ironically decide where you want the navigation to take you.

@mcepl yeah, I know: social.vivaldi.net/@sesivany/1…

Plus Signal has no web client and Matrix and Telegram don't have web clients of the same quality. Just with Slack there is feature and quality parity.

@usul yeah, a lot of people around me do it this way and it makes sense because you only have one web engine running and it saves memory, but I'm an old school desktop guy and if something has a desktop client I prefer it to web clients.

To the person who just walked past my house twice: you know headphones exist, right? You can get a nice set of over-ear cans, or cheap ones. There are noise-cancelling earbuds, passive sound blocking earbuds, and earbuds that are open to let you hear. There are even bone conduction or off-ear speaker options. What you should NOT be doing is walking along, blasting your audio book through your phone's speaker so loud that I can hear the words through my second-floor window.

Цензура она везде нагонит, да. Если бы мне было интересно, давно бы заморочился с поднятием собственного инстанса, но зачем. Лет 10 назад имело смысл, а теперь, когда в соцсетях стало слишком много публики, для которой любое мнение кроме их собственного это агрессия, ненависть и ещё хрен знает что, нафиг оно всё нужно.

While we're talking about Albert Einstein and how people have tried to erase his 20+ year civil rights protest work from history:

The FBI didn't like MLK jr. They called him "the most dangerous negro." Because he was influential, brought people together, and was vocally against anti-Black racism.

The FBI file on MLK Jr was 240,000 pages long. They accused him of being a communist spy, because he said things like, "racism is bad," and "too much wealth inequality is bad for society."

The FBI had a file on Malcolm X too. 9,000 pages long. Same reason.

The FBI had a surveillance file on Albert Einstein too. 1,400 pages.🤷🏿‍♂️

When Einstein was in NJ teaching at Princeton, a racist person wouldn't let Black Opera Singer Marian Anderson stay in their hotel. So Einstein said, "Stay with me."

Paul Robeson and other Black civil rights leaders wrote a letter condemning lynching. Einstein hand delivered it to President Truman.

9,000 pages on Malcolm X.

1,400 pages on Albert Einstein.

Yes, they considered MLK Jr to be much more dangerous than Malcolm X. They literally called him "The Most Dangerous Negro."

Because what they fear most is the end of racism.

If you're curious, no Einstein and Paul Robeson were not successful in getting that anti-lynching legislation passed.

There have been at least 200 attempts to get that anti-lynching legislation passed in US history.

The US did eventually pass anti-lynching legislation... in 2022. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Just going to come out and say it, thinking of deleting our account. To many memories, consisting of chapters that we need to close our book on. We'd like to make a fresh start. But shit, sstarting over, losing you all, it'll hurt like hell. Just, want something new to work from. And we don't know how...

Yeah, sadly, no import of posts, but you can even edit CSV follower/following lists, if you want to, so you skip on who you want and not want to follow, considering you want to export followers, and not automatically migrate them all. That's what I usually do, mostly, when I switched to Go To Social, there was no way of migrating, had to import everything, import didn't work, so imagine the search I had to do. LOL. There are good instances, I am sure, just see how you feel about them, look at their sites and so on.
