android copies from apple. apple copies from android. do you know what I would love to see apple copy from android? the ability to still get notificaitons, but not wake up my screen! I will wake my screen up when and if I want to look at them. you don't ened to do it every single time a notification comes in. I want my notifications, I just don't always want to look at them. s please apple, please copy this one from android. make it a setting you can turn on or off. then you would have the best of both worlds.
@BorrisInABox the last time I looked into it several years ago, it was either get notifications, and it wakes up the screen, or get no notifications at all. smile. I have just growled about it, and put up with it, but I want notifications, hell make them go off, but don't wake up my screen! you look at my cealing thinking I am trying to use face ID, and you say try again. it's a cealing! not someones face for god sake. if you know how I can fix it from turning on my screen please enlighten me! this has annoyed me for years. lol.
Why do you care if they're on the lock screen in particular? I personally am fine with hearing noises and knowing there are things to look at when I care, and not having it blablablablabing things out to the world, which is what it does when they're on the lock screen.
@BorrisInABox when I am out and about I might not look at my lock screen at all. I might, but I might not. it only blabs them, if you touch them. mine when it wakes up the screen just says what time it is, and says bhow many notifications I have. it doesn't read any, unless I touch them.
If you want to do a fun thing this weekend, maybe write a little webxdc app for your family or friends chats? There are many to fork from, see webxdc.org/apps and for development docs webxdc.org/docs And for development tooling GitHub.com/webxdc/webxdc-dev which simulates a multi member chat environment to run your app, before you post the zip file to a chat of yours. Everyone can start it. No app stores. No logins. No gafam. With built-in end-to-end encryption. Cheers.

já jezdím na celoeockach protože právě najezdím nic moc 🤷♂️ a zimáky mi jsou trošku proti srsti v létě … ale na novy auto už mi “koupili zimáky” a přezouvat na letní na 3 měsíce mi přijde trošku hovadina. S tím ze nemá náhradní disky, takže opravdu přezouvat.
no ono otázka co je dálka, já otáčím Brno a mam v planu jet v lete/podzim UK a to mi přijde už trošku magorina na zimákách. Navíc nevím jestli některé země po cestě nemají problém s tím mít zimáky v lete
já uvidím hák to bude nakonec … nechám tam zimáky a na jaře (čti v červnu) to přehodnotím a bud si tam nechal dát celoroční nebo budu dal na zimácích 🤷♂️ a pokud fakt pojedu do tramtarie, tak budu muset udělat průzkum, zda můžu na zimácích v lete. Slyšel jsem ze Itálie s tím ma problém či co
Spiders don't learn how to spin a web, it is encoded into their DNA. All that complexity of design, technique and behaviour stored in their genetic memory. How much do you think of what makes "you", you is just your genes ordering you around and disguising it as free will?

For anyone who likes using new apps, give FastSM a try. It's a Mastodon and Bluesky client currently in alpha development, but it has progressed fast within the past few days. The development of this client is a very clear demonstration of what can be achieved if someone puts their mind to it. For years there has been the need for a number of Mastodon features to be included in a specialist client such as this, but they've never really happened. This combines many of these with an excellent application design. It includes the ability to quote posts, mute conversations, filtering, scheduling and so much more. Moreover, the developer understands that an application does not need to be complex in its structure. For example, pressing Enter on a post allows you to read it in detail. That seems a basic feature but people unused to technology like a number of things: they like lists, to press Enter to open something and Escape to close it. It makes people feel more comfortable in their working. As a final bonus, the app is the best I have seen working with JAWS. JAWS has some difficulty with reading the contents of edit controls in some other clients and that is not the case here. In summary, the developer has already done a great job at this early stage. I believe this is the latest link to it: github.com/masonasons/FastSM/r…
I've definitely been enjoying this app. For anyone who used it, it's basically Quinter, a twitter client that existed in 2021, but for mastodon. Quinter was very quickly killed by competition with TC to my knowledge, but I think I prefer specialized, one use apps rather than a giant all purpose thing.
@Kaliah I think, as long as your app's purpose is, for example, one category of thing, for example, Mastodon and Bluesky, it's manageable, but when you want to do, like, mastodon, telegram, file explorer, github, feeds, etc etc, it becomes very quickly unmanageable.
@Kaliah Excuse my spam, I'm done after this one. I think that if you want to do this sort of thing, what you should do is create a core for this sort of thing, and then allow other people to create their sessions on top of that. I.E. Create your invisible interface, your buffer system, your actions system, whatever else, and then people can build things on top of it.
@Bri Yeah. I agree. I think I might've been much more on board with this if, in downloading my mastodon client, I wasn't also stuck downloading github, radio, a file explorer, a feeds app, a telegram thing, a smart home integration thing, and whatever else that I would literally never want or care about. I agree that if you want this, that's fine and good, but I think you should be able to part out the things you don't want so it's not a giant bloated mess for anyone who only wants it for one or two things. But of course that's just my humble little perspective lol
@Kaliah I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to say that the app was bloated because of the other features. It really didn't add all that much as far as performance degradations and size.
@Bri Not in terms of performance, but I would say it could get that way in terms of certain places, like adding sessions, in the UI. I'm not sure why it bothers me, but having a program with 7 or so core features I will never use gets annoying. But maybe I'm just too minimalist.
@Bri I appreciate what TC was trying to do, but I think, in my opinion, it just tried to do way, way too much. For most users who just wanted a basic mastodon/twitter/telegram client, it was a very, very bloated option. And then you get into the update stuff, half the updates to a program I regularly used were things I didn't care about because they expanded things like github, the radio, whatever the smart devices thing was, ETC. It kind of sucks when you're regularly being nagged to update your program when half the updates are things that don't matter at all to your use case. I realize this sounds a bit like I'm ranting on you or your app, and that's not my intention, I just think it wanted to be far more than it could be viably.
@Kaliah Nah, I think it could've easily been all of the things it was trying to do, just not the way it was doing it. I think all of those sessions should've been separate add-on sort of things, maintained separately of the app base.

@Scott one was some sort of clicker that alerted other revolutionaries that they'd taken a surveillance wall down, one was a 'get me back to the present' button for a time traveller.
Morning all. Not a bad night. I took a fall though while trying to get to the bathroom, that was a bit scary. So we have one slightly sore bear this morning. And I will have to get help sometimes if my walking is bad. Hmm. Meh! Anyway, you all have a brilliant day.
Going to add more functions to fastSM's win11 keymap, as the default comes with navigating through posts and the volume keys, but you can only like posts, so I'll be adding the rest. When I'm done, I'll share it with @bri so it becomes the standard.
nah, there's no need to change all the keys. The reason you only see a few keys there is because they fall back to the default keys in the default keymap.
2 years on Mastodon. According to my calendar, though I’m pretty sure that’s the date when I signed up for mastodon.social. In May 2024 I switched to dragonscave.space, and for 1 year and 1 day now, I’ve been on someplace.social and am still enjoying it. Regarding clients, Tweesecake, Pachli, and Mona were my go-tos, with Tweesecake now being replaced by the awesome FastSM. I’ve learned a lot on this platform, from getting to know Tailscale and Linux servers to many other great applications and much more. It took a while to gain the engagement I have now. As I mentioned earlier, Mastodon often seems quite boring, but once conversations evolve, it’s actually quite fun to chat with all the different people. At this point, I think I’ve found a solid base of users to interact with and enjoy communicating and discussing things here. Thanks to everyone sticking around, reading my random tech rambles, boost spam, or complaints about all the other stuff life throws at me. And thanks to the developers of the clients and Mastodon itself. Looking forward to more good times here.
@jdking92 I don't know about other people, but I do it because I want too. I am interested in weather, and I know of a few people that live near me that are interested, and there could be others I don't know about that might be interested as well. I could ask why people post sports stuff, but I don't because it is there mastodon, and they can post what ever they want, even if it might be something I am not interested in.
Yeah, its fine if you post it, what I don't get is the people who **boost** weather posts, looks like from copy pasted information too, of weather in completely different cities from where they're at.
Zbláznili se mi vcera večer uši, úplně z ničeho nic, každý zvuk mi až bolestivě zní v hlavě, jak kdyby narážel na nějakou membránu, navíc je takový zkreslený, jako přes vodu, hrozný. Tak teď sedím u snídaně se špunty a žena na mne šeptá 😱 Vůbec nevím, co se to děje,ale je to sakra nepříjemné.
@archos Nejdu, snažil jsem se tam dovolat, ale marně, na celodenní sezení v čekárně, aby ti pak řekli, že se musíš objednat nemám čas, mám domluvenou práci a nechci ji rušit, naštěstí jen nějaké RFID čtečky a kabely už natahal elektrikář, takže jen pájení a nastavování, nechám si špunty a jdu do práce, odpoledne uvidíme 🤷
Nice, just made my first app with Claude Code, a swift UI app reminiscent of Babble from back in the day. You can type in text, select a language and a voice installed on the system, speak the text, export audio as .wav, and change volume, pitch, and speed. Only took me about 10 to 15 minutes to build. Very impressed. If anyone wants this I'm happy to upload the code and Apple Silicon binaries to Github.
@stormproductions Yeah I've tried Gemini-cli as well, heard great things about Claude Code so wanted to check it out. Wish the Terminal UI was a little better for screen reader users but over all it's still really nice.
Today on AppAddict - Tailscale: The Best Free App Most Mac Power Users Aren’t Using - Someone asked me to name the best free app available to Mac users in 2026. I didn’t hesitate before choosing Tailscale.
Tailscale is a VPN, but not in the usual sense. It’s a private, encrypted, identity-based network where your devices recognize each other no matter where they are. It uses... - appaddict.app/post/ailscale-th… - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

@Kaliah @vol4life8657 ngl I started thinking like shit did my userdata somehow end up in the damn git repo and now someone's just posting on my account?
I looked at the new Yamaha MGX series digital mixers. Not that I'm in need of an audio mixing console (I'm not these days), but they're new, and I wanted to see what they're all about. Looked pretty good, until "oh yeah, by the way, it has a 4.3 inch touch screen." Yep, that's how you make me instantly uninterested in your product.
I have decided that if I ever can set up my studio again, I will just mix everything in the box, and then get a decent analog mixer for use with analog synths and outboard effects... but who am I kidding? That probably won't actually happen before I lose what hearing I still have left. Fun to think about though.
Joel and I were looking at those yesterday, too. Kinda got excited thinking about upgrading my current setup and ditching the Behringer 1820 interface I use connected to a mixer for multiple soundcards. Then, we saw the touch screen and were out. Too bad, as the mixer itself has some nice features. There's only one company I've heard of supposedly building a screen reader into their mixers, but, of course, they're not available yet.
I wonder if sighted audio people actually want a touchscreen. I could see it being useful for presenting complex UI elements but I feel like nobody had a problem with physical controls when they were all we had. Are mixers just going to be huge tablets one day? Slide this 3 pixel wide arrow 1.4CM to the left at a 72-degree angle to power the device on.
@simon Mixers having less controls and being way more touch screeny have both long since been a thing. I've got a mate who does live sound and they can't see signals from stage anymore, so they set each band member's monitor mix up for them using an iPad standing on stage with the musicians during soundcheck. Cool as a breakout secondary method of controlling things I guess, but personally I wouldn't want a touch screen for everything even if it was 100% accessible.
