@acarson Thank you for posting this. I am blind myself and while presenting accessibility to sighted people I love breaking it down to those simple everyday things I do thanks to my assistive technology. In fact, I love listening to podcasts demonstrating how people who are blind accomplish everyday tasks using screen readers. It's somehow satisfying hearing someone at the other end of the world navigate to their favourite restaurant, book a weekend trip and, for good measure, produce a fully-fledged radio show, all with the sounds of the speech synthesizer in the foreground. Perhaps advocates of AI solutions should listen to more of those short, Apple-style presentations.

Frauenkampftag! ✊

I didn't know that its history is so related to the Soviet Union though, which gives it quite a bad taste in light of events since 2014 (or even earlier, really). Especially with the Baltic countries apparently having abandoned it as a public holiday.

But I guess that's like with most things - there's usually something uncomfortable in the past you should be aware of.

I am almost certain that Reddit can detect and work around mass-edits, given that mass-edit userscripts have been around for over a decade. Don’t treat mass-edit tools as legit LLM-poisoning tools.

The premise is still delightful, though. @theluddite
RE: assemblag.es/users/theluddite/…


Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing. All we ask is that you not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material, and we wouldn't want Reddit's uniquely valuable data to become hopelessly intermingled with that of litigious copyright-holders.

New programming font designed by Frere-Jones Type for Intel. Interesting.

"Identifying the typographically underserved low-vision developer audience, Frere-Jones Type designed the Intel One Mono typeface in partnership with the Intel Brand Team and VMLY&R, for maximum legibility to address developers' fatigue and eyestrain and reduce coding errors. A panel of low-vision and legally blind developers provided feedback at each stage of design."

Okay, this now exists in the world: a #NVDASR addon to translate text using #DeepL, based on the older NVDA translate addon that used google. It's much faster, though you will require a free API key. Note that while this works, I don't intend to submit to the NVDA Addon store; I doubt I've followed any of the requirements to do that. Instructions and the release live on github: github.com/fastfinge/nvda-translate/

Sous la Grande Arche de la Défense a ouvert en 2023 une « Cité de l’histoire »

L’Huma révèle que c’est une initiative pilotée par l’extrême-droite, où Hitler a sauvé l’Allemagne de la menace communiste et où la prise de la Bastille est une émeute qui nuit aux commerçants.

Le truc est régulièrement visité par des groupes scolaires.
Piloté par le FN et la Ligue du Sud, le tout avec notre pognon (via la Région ile-de-France).

Normy ve stavebnictví limitujou spoustu věcí a jsou prosazovány ve víře, že nás ochráni před "zlými developery, kteří chtějí stavět špatné byty a prodávat je draze". Ale není developer často spíš ten hrdina, kterej přijímá všechny investiční rizika? Normy navíc nastavujou takový nároky, že je mnohem jednodušší vydělat na projektech velkého měřítka, a vyřazují tak ze hry menší developery. Namísto zastavování menších děr v současné zástavbě a zútulňování měst tak stavíme novodobá, hnusná sídliště.

No v Liberci se zastavovani der docela darilo pred 2019 (Park Masarykova je bozi). Ale vsecky novejsi developmenty v centru jsou peklo. Rybnicek ma tri parta parkovist (600 mist), na kterych jsou veze s byty, aby to k nim majitele aut nemeli daleko. A vetsina bytu jsou garsonky/1+1 s polovicni vymerou jako bezne byty stejne dispozice. Si rikam, jak dlouho bude trvat, nez se zacnou ty byty propojovat, jako se to delo panelakovym mezonetum v Praze.
