@chikim This does make me think. The only real thing of interest to me is the live translation feature. But I don't believe Apple was ever good at this, so I'll just wait and see what sort of experiences others will have before I make any move! :)
@chikim Yeah, somehow the heart monitor feature didn't really excite me. :) But funny re hearing. Perhaps I should get them just for that one reason? LOL
I think if you're onn an iDevice capable of Apple Intelligence and AirPods firmware is on 8A356 or later, it should work for you: support.apple.com/106340 @chikim
Resolves #5611 by just removing support for the X11 backend entirely.
If the eventual goal is to implement everything in GTK, we can remove some X11-exclusive code and get rid of quite a bit of cru...
At Meta Connect 2025, Mark Zuckerberg’s live glasses demos repeatedly failed. Why did he risk it in the age of keynotes that are long marketing videos?
So, you’ve proven you can take action. You canceled Disney, rallied around Kimmel, and feel good that you’ve “done something.”
But now what?
Will this be yet another moment where your actions only extend as far as how close to home the issue hits? Or can your outrage and your action, finally be more inclusive?
Am 20. September 1822, vor 203 Jahren, wurde der Scheibmaschinen Erfinder Peter Mitterhofer geboren. Unter anderem gelang es ihm 1866 aus Holz- und Blechteilen den ersten brauchbaren Schreibapparat für Blindenschrift herzustellen. #make #blind #inklusion
that's an interesting claim that lots of companies make (admittedly fewer and fewer these days). But I'm curious to know what your policy on responding to US gov subpoenas are? Especially given the new classification of trans terrorists.

Vyzkoušel jsem bridging mezi Bluesky a Mastodonem přes fed.brid.gy a jakkoliv je super, že něco takového existuje, furt je to jen hack, který má do plnohodnotného propojení platforem hodně daleko, hlavně v UX. Řešením je podle mě samozřejmě zrušit Bluesky a přestěhovat lidi na Mastodon 😎
Jo, je to jen o krapet lepší než prostý one-way bot. Mám to aktivované asi ok, za který jsem tam nabral 39 followerů, což je nic oproti tomu, co mám tady. Reakce na moje příspěvky tam je prakticky nulová. Pokud to má nějaké reakce, jsou to lidi tady z Mastodonu, kteří také bridgují na BS.
Amid budget uncertainty, NASA gets some good news: Use House funding levels The House budget still cuts science at NASA, but not as deeply as the White House sought. arstechnica.com/space/2025/09/…

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are."
I, for one, don't want an imitation of a "little person" inside my computer, anticipating what I want, or steering me toward what its developers want me to want. I'm fine with a "responder" as Jobs called it, that keeps me in control.
Maybe that reaction is just a sign of how pessimistic the current zeitgeist has become. Or maybe that Jobs quote was always hopelessly naive.
Well, the types of computers we have today are tools. They’re responders: you ask a computer to do something and it will do it. The next stage is going to …
Almost a year ago, your incredible generosity helped us raise the funds to buy the server that Altbot runs on today (locally and privately) It's been operating from my home ever since, and I'm so grateful for the support that made that possible.
But now, the situation has become unsustainable. My home network is under a sustained, targeted DDoS attack aimed at taking Altbot offline. And unfortunatly this isn't just a threat to the bot, it's a serious security and privacy concern for my family.
A lot of people are probabaly going to be asking the same question I did: "Who is doing this?" but the honest answer is: I don't know, and I likely never will. These attacks are launched through botnets and proxies designed specifically to hide the source. Figuring out the "who" is nearly impossible. The only thing I can do is focus on the "how to stop it."
Running this critical service from a residential address is no longer viable. To protect Altbot and my family, we need to move the server to a professional data center with proper, enterprise DDoS mitigation.
The Goal: $2,880 to cover 12 months of secure colocation.
This will provide a secure, stable home for Altbot with:
This isn't just about maintaining a service. It's about ensuring that an important accessibility tool remains available for everyone who depends on it, while also protecting my family's privacy and safety.
Please consider supporting if you can. If you're unable to donate, boosts are incredibly valuable for raising awareness.
Thank you for your support and for believing in Altbot's mission.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.
una gran divulgadora, me encantaba verla cada que salía en algún programa, así fue como la conocí desde mi pueblito hace varias décadas de eso y aún tengo grabado en la mente el gran carisma y el amor que le tenía a la ciencia. Q.E.P.D.
RIP Apenas la vi (como espectador) en el pasado evento por el eclipse en las islas de CU. Se le va a extrañar. ¿Cómo era eso de que uno está viejo cuando las personas que admira se mueren?

před pár dny jsme běžel v 10°C, dneska v 28. Počasí nádherné, ale já už na takové výkyvy nejsme stavěný, tělo už se adaptovalo na podzim a dneska jsem se málem uvařil. 🥵
