Ah yes, a 10th of a tennis court. Very clear. I always picture all areas in 10th of tennis courts. People try to tell me areas in square metres or square feet and I say no, stop, 10ths of a tennis court please, none of your woke, EU-mandated measures.
thing that's making me feel old today: remembering Japan's colour-coded payphone tier ranking system, which at one point was an important thing to know 😅
iirc: * pink phones only took ¥10 coins, up to 6 at a time * blue & yellow took both ¥10 and ¥100 coins * green took phone cards as well as coins * grey were the S-tier payphones -- they took *two* phone cards at once, so you didn't get cut off when your first phone card was used up. the only real option for making an international phone call
Very proud of my music loving son who cancelled his Spotify account, set up a home music server & uses the money he's saving from not subscribing to buy music directly from artists or via Bandcamp every month.
Hey @prism question for you. In WhatsApp, if I'm contacted by someone who isn't in my contacts, but I'd like to add them, there seems to be a difference in the pop-up I get whether I use VO actions to add a contact versus me double tapping towards the top of the screen on their number and going down to add a contact from there. If I open their detail page and create a contact, their info is filled in, including their name and number. If I do it using the VoiceOver actions, the only thing that gets filled in is their name. Would it be possible to change it so that the dialogue you get is consistent across both?
Hey sorry for the delay, I was on vacation and then sick. Where are you seeing a voiceover action to add someone as a contact? I don't see one for a message from a noncontact or from their entry in the chat list. Are you somewhere else?
FWIW, I don't think this is a voiceover issue; if you longpress and select add new contact from the menu that appears, you will also get a dialog where the phone number is not prefilled. That said I don't think it is intentional to have two different dialogs for the same flow, so I filed a bug. Thanks for flagging!

I am working on some Gemini related stuff (the protocol, not Google AI) and would be interested in hearing about how Gemini stacks up from an accessibility perspective. Are there any specific clients or screen readers that work best? Is there any specific Gemini formatting that helps or hinders? Is there any accessible-specific content that you think should be made available via Gemini?
On a related note, am I wrong in thinking that Gemini is well suited to a low/no vision user? And if so, why?
“The processes that slow engineers down are the same processes that make their work legible to the rest of the company. And that legibility (in dollar terms) is more valuable than being able to produce software more efficiently.”
The big idea of James C. Scott’s Seeing Like A State can be expressed in three points: Modern organizations exert control by maximising “legibility”: by…
Anyone in the #GearSquad (or out of it) have these Adam Audio D3V monitors? My long suffering Eris 3.5s have developed an intermittent buzz, so it is time for an upgrade....
This is a bit spontaneous, but with a new studio, I gotta test doing a live show before the countdown, so I'll be doing one live on #MushroomFM at the top of the hour, 4 Pm Eastern. Feel free to tune in, say hi, and make a request.
Aww, that's too bad about the Xfinity in your house. I have symmetric gigabit fiber at my apartment in Wichita. I'm even running my own web server in my apartment.

Here's an easy way to understand the US "hacking back" / Offensive cyber operations proposal: You lose the keys to your house down the back of the couch. It would be very time consuming to try and dig them out, but buying new locks would cost money.
The least expensive option is to simply remove the entire front door, which your family approves of. This would leave more money to gamble in the slot machine (some guy who says he is 100% definitely not the owner of the slot machine has told you that if you put in enough money, you will receive a return on your investment).
After voting to remove the front door, someone walks into your house and steals your TV. Having to buy a new door, new locks, and new TV would cut into the slot machine fund. Which is unacceptable.
You decide the most cost efficient option is to track down every thief in the world and punch them in the face. The family agrees that punching every thief in the face would certainly deter any further theft, and have absolutely no possible negative consequences at all.
The not slot machine guy has also offered to buy all your house's windows for $30, to help you recuperate some of the losses from your TV being stolen. You agree that this is indeed a good deal, and proceed to remove every window.
One day you come come to find a 600 pound grizzly bear rooting around in your pantry eating all your food. Your are completely perplexed. Despite your best efforts to secure your home against theft, people have still been walking in and taking whatever they want. However, a grizzly bear is new.
You consult with the not slot machine guy, who has recently used all his not slot machine money to buy up every local hospital. You are concerned that the punching everyone in the face policy does not appear to have affected theft rates. Also, this policy was designed for humans, not bears.
The not slot machine guy reassures you that this is the best way. He tells you that you just aren't punching people hard enough. He also says that there is no reason why the same policy couldn't also be applied to bears. He sells you some punching classes for $5 trillion dollars and send you on your way.
With your new found punching skills, you are now ready to fight the bear. You return home to find out that all of the local bears have learned that your pantry is a great place to get food. There in now an entire group of them. That is ok though, you've been training for this.
Weil viele bei meiner Vasektomie dachten ich hätte meine Eier abgegeben. Nein. Das ist natürlich ein chirurgischer Eingriff, aber wirklich sehr unproblematisch. Und es wird nur so'n Zentimeter vom Samenstrang entfernt. Wer Fragen hat, gerne Fragen! Sicherste Verhütung ever!
I’ve just canceled my @heiseonline subscription which I’ve had for don’t know how long, definitely more than a decade. Reason is that Heise is part of the German lobby organization “Die Familienunternehmen,” which is problematic in itself – but that organization recently decided to cooperate with a German fascist party. While a number of other companies saw the public criticism and decided to withdraw their membership, Heise published this bullshit statement: heisegroup.de/presse/Zur-aktue…. It can be summed up as “we don’t want to talk about politics.” No further questions, goodby Heise.

My mum passed away 32 years ago. Every year her best friend (who had a hand in raising me after mum died) sends me a nice message. Every year - because my take on things is that any good news stories in my family are as a direct result of her kindness, love and patience - I send her a breakdown of all of the nice things happening with the kids. Every year she sends me a response to that, which hands down is fuckn hilarious. She's a no nonsense Austrian woman of advancing years, with an extremely dry sense of humour.
Her response this year.... "What a wonderfully long and interesting report."
Been having Claude Code giving me "assignments" to help me learn a new (huge) code base and tbh it's working REALLY well. As a manager it's important I understand the technology my team builds, but I'm rarely writing much shipping code these days. I'm someone that learns by doing, so being able to plow thru a code base like a college CS assignment and by the end of the day have a solid understanding of how it works is a really cool use case!
We already live in a post-scarcity society. It is entirely possible to house, clothe, and feed the world with our current technology and resources. It’s capitalism that prevents it. Capitalism requires scarcity to maintain price and profit, at the expense of the people.

Codestats, my small CLI tool to give you detailed analysis about a folder of source code, just got a new update to version 0.3.1. It adds many new languages (bringing the total up to 384), fixes a couple problems with language detection, and makes the tool run much, much faster by using more optimized string algorithms and memory mapping for large files! On my Linux machine, analyzing my home directory with absolutely no caches went from taking about 9.5 seconds to just over 8. You can install with cargo install codestats, or download binaries here: Linux (x86-64 Debian glibc): github.com/trypsynth/codestats… Windows (x64): github.com/trypsynth/codestats… Enjoy!
OO, I'm about to update then. I did try it yesterday, and couldn't get it to ignore my virtual environment in python. I saw an option to force it not to respect a gitignore file so I made one ".gitignore", put "env/" in it, but it still included it in the analysis.
@bscross32 And just to be clear, the .gitignore is right alongside the env directory, correct? Codestats parses gitignores as it finds them on the path, not from the cwd.
Using an electronic signature stored on a hardware token is still a pretty sad story on #Linux. It took some figuring to make it available in NSS, but it's still broken in Papers and Okular and doesn't work at all in #Flatpak. 😞
yeah, it is lacking. But hardware tokens like Yubikey are still somehow supported. Much worse is support of key protected by #TPM2 chip. That is like non-existent on #Linux. Even though every Red Hatter has laptop with it's support. Why do you need token, when your device has secure storage built-in?

I switched back to Android and truly honestly tried to use all the default AI stuff that Google is trying to push forward.
I probably lasted 45 minutes before disabling everything.
The initial "fascinating" nuance of having auto reply, suggestions, "intelligent" context recognition, and so on, quickly was replaced by annoying and incorrect results, constant interruptions and prompts and popups that made using my phone just painful.
Years of development wasted on features that don't work
"OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits" —if found guilty of 'wilful" infringement OpenAI could be on the hook for up to $150,000 per work. (And circumstances don't look great for them—they appear to have destroyed lists of the copyrighted works they'd trained GPT on.)
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.
$150,000 per work?! Okay, OpenAI, there are at least 20 pages of my work in your database, and I'm too lazy to do the math at this point. I'll accept if you're too lazy to do the math and decide to round up to $2 million. Just use the IBAN on my blog. Thank you. 😆
