@alexhall @jscholes @jackf723 @Bri Once you copy a file from File Explorer, in Outlook you don't even have to create the message before initiating the paste. From the inbox, instead of pressing ctrl+N, press ctrl+V. This invokes the New Message dialog and takes the file that you had copied and automatically attaches it to the message. Just fill out the relevant fields, to, cc, etc., type the message and send and the file is already attached.

My latest at ZDNET:

"No one running a so-called Home edition of Windows should be forced to manually edit the registry or run PowerShell scripts to manage updates or turn off features they don't want to use. Those users shouldn't have their files moved to OneDrive without their informed consent. If they choose an alternative browser or search engine, that choice should be respected."

Windows 11 has 1 billion users - and they're furious

Hitting 1 billion monthly active users should be cause for celebration in Redmond. These days, though, it feels like every one of those users is complaining. Does Microsoft have what it takes to address the many pain points in Windows 11?

Systemic white supremacy is when an utterly incompetent 23-year-old white boy can fabricate an entire story about Somalis and get personal praise from the President—but two seasoned award winning Black journalists who have decades of unassailable reporting behind them get arrested for reporting on an actual protest with facts and receipts.

I've made getting to both the web and iOS versions of my Fast Weather app easier. Just visit FastWeather.online to use the web version or use the Try iOS link at the bottom of the page to join the iOS Test Flight and get the program. Table view on the web is a favorite of mine for quickly browsing temperatures in either my set of cities or the prepopulated lists of cities for a state or country. Change the view to table, pick a state and use screen reader table commands to quickly read.

A person just walked by in sturdy shoes, a face mask, and a backpack with a protest sign sticking up out of the back. They walked with purpose and resolve (heading toward the nearby transit station to get downtown, I assume), and it was all I could do not to run out and thank them for protesting.

Thanks again, a million times over, to everyone out there showing up, on behalf of those of us who can't do that right now. 💜

@stepan Definitely it has integration with MQTT or there is an integration into Home Assistant. The question is if there is coverage. If there is, all you need is a small companion, if there isn't you'll have to install a repeater in some good location to cover the area for yourself and others. Urban areas such as Prague, Brno and Ostrava are well covered. Countryside, you still have to be lucky. You can check the current map of the network here:
mapa.meshcore.cz/
You can use the Propagation function to see what coverage you would get from a spot you pick on the map.

Undiagnosed neuro-divergence is like playing a video game on the hardest settings, whilst everyone else is gaslighting you by saying it's on the easy mode.

When you are diagnosed (even self diagnosed) it's like realising you are on the hard setting, it doesn't make the game any easier... But you know you're going to struggle and can find ways to work around the problems to better suit your abilities.

trying to find a local radio station threw fastplay isn't working. if I could figure how how to listen to it in say winamp, I could save it as an m3u file and use fastplay to listen to it that way, but searching for it isn't working. if anyone wants to help me figure out how to find them, it is Power 96.5 WQHH.

It seems that radio-browser.info which is the site that Tweesecake uses, and likely FastSM as well, does not carry a stream for that station. Not saying it doesn't exist, just saying it doesn't exist on a popular open source radio listings platform, and its probably unlikely that the blindy apps will find it. If you do come across some sort of live stream like something on a web page from them, and want to attempt to extract a source, let me know, and I'll do some source code diving and see if they haven't entirely wrappered it. But probably most likely its not as easy as it once was. But if a stream exists that you want to see if can be turned into a Winamp or FastSM compatible stream, I welcome the challenge.

@Bri @countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 you have every right to brag about it! I didn't think I would like it, as I haven't liked a lot of players I have tried threw the years, but yours has actually caused me to stop using winamp lately. the only thing you don't have is support for DSP effects. lol.

@countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 No. I don't even want to touch that. SiriusXM is really damn stingy about what can play their streams. A SiriusXM app for Mac and iOS recently got shut right the fuck down because of SiriusXM blocking the app, so ... I could maybe get it working and it might work for a bit, but eventually it would just get shut down.

@Bri @countrymetalhead @adam @evilcookies98 the person doing the development for it was a hell of a person too! that makes me want to seriously consider getting rid of there service just for this reason. I mean I haven't been listening to them a lot lately, and when I did, it was on my google speaker, or an echo in the house, but still. to jsut do that after 10 fucking years, that is completely bullshit!

I do love going through job application submissions where 700 candidates replied with the exact same sentence on one of the entry questions.

Using AI tools to email blast all job postings doesn't increase your chances, it makes you look lazy and doesn't make your resume stand out.

The mediocrity machine is so good at giving you the illusion of efficiency

@winduptoy whatever thing Mozilla is doing or the way they (mis)communicate things, it has nothing to do with people applying to jobs.
The majority of the applicants know nothing about Mozilla nor Thunderbird, they just use AI tools without any safeguard or awareness of how terrible they are and everyone in the world is dealing with the consequences of this unmitigated and unchecked cluster fuck that a bunch of billionaires unleashed on the web

Australia is BURNING

Tuesday’s temperatures reached record-breaking levels in Victoria—49°C—forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate due to extreme fire danger and leaving thousands of animals without food, water, shelter, or safety. The situation is also dire in New South Wales, with catastrophic temperatures forecast to hit wildlife hard, especially flying foxes whose population is decimated.

You will probably hear nothing about this on the news, but it's happening

I got into an almost-argument and I need advice and/or guidance from you dorks (affectionate).

Some doop on Reddit says he rips his CDs into flac files. I said the only thing that flacs increase in this regard is file size; not quality. He insists they sound better as flacs.

So, I ripped two CDs on my l33t h8xor Linux PC. 192kbps mp3s, and flacs. I genuinely could not tell the difference on any of my headphones, including the planar magnetic supernerd audiogasm cans. And I mean it: Zero difference.

Have I fallen into confirmation bias, or is there a real difference?

This is a damning article from the Wikipedia editors on GenAI articles written for Wikipedia: wikiedu.org/blog/2026/01/29/ge…

#ai

Far more insidious, however, was something else we discovered: More than two-thirds of these articles failed verification. That means the article contained a plausible-sounding sentence, cited to a real, relevant-sounding source. But when you read the source it’s cited to, the information on Wikipedia does not exist in that specific source. When a claim fails verification, it’s impossible to tell whether the information is true or not. For most of the articles Pangram flagged as written by GenAI, nearly every cited sentence in the article failed verification.

Question for my audio people:

I have an analog mixer. It sounds big and awesome when I listen to the main outputs connected directly to my monitors. But when I run my second set of main outputs into my computer via Ferrofish converters and an RMI ADAT-->USB interface (the Digiface), everything sounds...flat and lame. And I definitely lose significant amounts of bass response.

Is this expected?
