#Catima 2.38.0 is out!

github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

This release adds support for .pkpasses, removes the Stocard importer (as Stocard no longer exists) and removes images from the widget below Android 12L.

Do note that the widget change is not what we want. If anyone understands this crash and has a fix, I'd love to hear it, so we can support images on all Android versions: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Coming soon to an app store near you.

Widget crash issue

Thanks for the new widget! Great! But there is a problem: if the cards have no pictures, everything works. If you add a picture to at least one card, the application closes with an error and the wi...

Please note that the #FDroid release is sadly still delayed due to gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu….

There is also F-Droid's request to Google on issuetracker.google.com/issues….

I'm watching the F-Droid issue and it looks like Google may release a new version of aapt2 that can run on the older hardware of the F-Droid buildserver but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. Hopefully this changes in the near future.


aapt2 fails to run on the buildserver - AGP 8.12.0-alpha07 is latest compatible (#593) · Issues · F-Droid / admin · GitLab

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.

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.

The FBI had 240,000 pages of surveillance reports on MLK Jr.

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. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Friday.

The time is fast approaching when our living room will become a total and utter chaotic mess. The builder has confirmed a start date for the chimney removal.

I've just booked a Bulky waste collection from the council: one of our 2 sofas is in no condition to continue living, so they're taking it away next Friday.

It amused me greatly that I am now on step 6 of a 5-step process, with an accompanying progress bar at 120%. Obviously whoever designed the web interface didn't account for the thank you page post-booking.
Gotta love a fencepost problem.

Card provider was really slow, too. Made the flow feel like something from the 90's.
Nicely done, MHDC good to see our money being spent well.
I can't grumble really, they're very good as local authorities go.

logo of Malvern Hills District Council. It features the text "Malvern Hills District Council" in black letters. The words "Malvern Hills" are aligned to the left, and beneath them are the words "District Council," also aligned to the left. Between the two sets of words is a stylized design of two overlapping, curved shapes. The top shape is green, resembling a hill, while the lower shape is blue, suggesting a valley or body of water. These shapes are intertwined, reflecting a sense of landscape. The overall design integrates the text with the graphic elements to represent the district's geographic features.

with regards me telling y'all our local council were good at what they do, I got a phone call pretty much immediately after booking my bulky waste collection on Friday.

I had 'Somehow managed' to book a collection on a day of the week they don't collect. Nobody's ever done it before. 'Friday's are absolutely not an option in the calendar on the booking page'.

The issue is, of course, accessibility-related. The input type of a date that has native keyboard accessibility and the selectable calendar of dates they want you to choose (with a mouse, naturally), hold only the most tenuous of connections, and only one of them seems to be working in the reality they expect.

Hey ho.

I'm sorry to say this but ally has been a thoroughly disappointing experience for me. Nowhere does it feel like a polished product. They released a new shortcuts feature the other day except... it doesn't work? It's supposed to launch into an ally conversation with it automatically answering whatever question you had, like describe this scene. So it takes the photo, spends a buch of time sending it to ally, and then the conversation launches and it just goes "hey" or whatever other fluffy greeting it decided was necessary at the time. I thought it might be because of my custom ally which tries to make it a lot more terse, so I tried every standard personality they ship, but nope. It just doesn't work with any of them.
They said you can adjust the speech rate in a previous update but I can't figure out how.
The image recognition is just bad. I have no clue how they do this, because Envision's describe scene is a lot better and also uses AI, including being able to ask about images. Do they scale it down to like a pixelated mess or something?
The app is slow. It is just ungodly slow.
Also can we talk about the captcha when signing up? I couldn't do the audio version no matter what network I was on. I had to get sighted help.
Also my favorite thing is when you ask it to describe something, it says let me take a look, then says I can't take any images even though it clearly just took an image, and then you can ask it to describe it and it's like oh you're totally right there's actually an image here and proceeds to describe it really badly.
What on earth happened here? Seriously what the hell actually happened here?
I could go on but I think you get the point. I have encountered so many annoying things while using this stupid AI that I'm honestly a little baffled that nobody at Envision is noticing this. It is possible to do so much better. I just don't understand!

I'm still miffed the ADA URL parser people keep their biased and misleading performance comparison against curl on their front page.

ada-url.com/

Their parser is not 10 times faster than curl and yet their main graph makes it look like that.

They don't seem to show the version of curl, at least I couldn't see it on that page.

But this brings up a more general point that I've thought about before: ideally benchmarks between implementations should be done by independent parties, or at least peer-reviewed by all parties, but that's quite rare. I've been wanting to have something like that for my backup implementation work, from time to time.

@Di4na This may be slightly off-topic, or maybe not, but Inno Setup (a fairly popular installer creator for Windows) recently added an option to purchase a license for commercial use (after using zlib-like license for over 25 years), though this was much simpler for them, as there are only two main developers and very few external contributors.

Ve slavné závěrečné scéně z Čapkova románu Válka s mloky se pan Povondra doptává syna na břehu Vltavy, jestli je něco nového. „Ani ne, jen v novinách píší, že mloci jsou už u Drážďan,“ odpovídá syn.
