It's not really about food. It's about the time the Trader Joe's scallion pancakes made me cry and have an identity crisis, but not for the reasons you think.
@archos Taky používám OsmAnd a OSM Viewer. Ale od molochů používám k práci Panoramu a StreetView. Za posledních pár let mi to ušetřilo dost benzínu a času 🤷♂️.
@radimdolezal Osmand používám jako navigaci v autě, ale můžeš jí používat i jako turistickou, cyklo navigaci. Já se k LocusMap vrátil nedávno, že lze použít i na Geocaching. @smoon
David this is an interesting read and it reminds me that I hadn't updated you on our ongoing conversation about my jaunt through whether to keep or cut the cord. I did cut the cord for 2 months and then I went all the way back to #Xfinity land because frankly cutting the cord wasn't any cheaper in my case and as I say often no one can beat #Xfinity's #Accessibility. And this story gives me one more reason to be glad I went back.
@Lino_JR Well, while I have no problem with having MLB on YouTube TV I do wish they would carry the C-span channels. They show you our government at work along with interesting talks from nonfiction book authors and interesting lectures on history. My wife and I really enjoyed watching Book TV on the weekends. I think it's inaccurate to label them as old fogies.

No real release notes here. Nothing about jaws/NVDA support. To update, press the up arrow 50 times, press enter once, press s3 to open the context menu, down arrow 100 times to select update, press enter. Make sure you are selecting version 2.1.594657, if you choose any earlier version, you will brick your machine.
Thank you for this news about updates for different devices. This is a huge help. I don't have the Zoommax, but I have many other devices and I don't always catch those things when they come.

“React and the component model standardises the software developer and reduces their individual bargaining power excluding them from a proportional share in the gains”. An amazing write-up by @baldur about the de-skilling of developers to reduce their ability to fight back against their employers.
I’m happy to de-skill labor on my own personal projects so others can easily take over if I get hit by a bus, but an employer with hundreds of talented engineers shouldn’t be doing this.

Inclusion in tech isn’t a destination — it’s a constant work in progress, non-visual tech education and design advocate @ChanceyFleet tells Cindy Cohn and @jgkelley on the new episode of EFF’s “How to Fix the Internet.” eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/podc…
Blind and low-vision people have experienced remarkable gains in information literacy because of digital technologies, like being able to access an online library offering more than 1.

Češi vstoupili do #mshokej2024 výhrou nad Finskem 1:0 po samostatných nájezdech, v rozstřelu rozhodl útočník Ondřej Kaše. Brankář Lukáš Dostál vychytal ve svém 4. utkání v národním týmu premiérové čisté konto. irozhl.as/qj5
V zápasu dominovali brankáři a tak se došlo až k nájezdům. V nich Finové Lukáše Dostála opět nepřekonali, naopak z českých hokejistů se prosadili Ondřej Kaše a Roman Červenka.
I remember longing for proper skipping of descenders in #CSS. Now that skipping is default in most browser I’m often struck by how *terrible* it is for hyperlink legibility.
The first line in the image shows a linked line with text-decoration-skip-ink set to "auto".
The second line shows the same linked line with text-decoration-skip-ink set to "none".
Just by looking at the first line, you can’t say if it is multiple links or or not.
@tbernard Oh I'm following the discussion and I appreciate all the effort and consideration put into it! Of course, personally, I'd love tiling now but your way of handling this is very thoughtful and gives many reasons not to push it!

Hello, hello Jamers It’s been a month since our last #DevUpdate, so this week we've prepared something special for you: New versions of Jami have been released for iOS and Desktop (including Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 40). We've fixed major connectivity bugs, significantly improving reliability on mobile devices. Exciting new UI designs are now available on iOS, with an Android update scheduled for release next week 🎊 We would love to hear your feedback! #opensource
Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.
Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.
The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.
In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.
Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.
Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.
The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?
While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
#Suno? #Udio? Who needs those? #ElevenLabs has just blown my actual mind and I am here for it! Cannot wait to get access to this. I have not been so excited by AI-based music until now. Don't skip anything, just listen. Pay attention to the extremely fast Rap section too. It's up there with the best of them. You've never heard AI music like this, trust me.
Elevenlabs just announced EASILY the most insanely good AI music to date.▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video:Announcement: https://twitter.com/elevenlabsio/status/1...
I think he's far too easily impressed, or is putting on an act to stay on the company's good side. I don't think it's that far ahead of Udio. In my opinion, the best example of what Udio can do is this song by @bryansmart (he wrote the lyrics himself): udio.com/songs/7YDVBJ8NwjMq2D9…
Listen to Accessibility Blues by BSmart on Udio. Discover, create, and share music with the world. Use the latest technology to create AI music in seconds.
@matt @bryansmart It doesn't have a lot of the nasty flam effects that udio and suno drums are famous for, the vocals don't have that almost raspy harsh quality that udio has. Recording people and producing is what I do, and I pay close attention to artifacts and things. This is genuinely a cut above the rest.
@matt The examples themselves were good at showcasing how far this AI music generation stuff has come, and in particular I found the Jazz and Dubstep samples to be the most incredible as far as how good they sounded, but yes a lot of the lyrics were stupid in my opinion.
Wow this is impressive. I like how the instruments aren't all warbly and artifacty and weird like most of the AI covers I have heard. This actually sounds like something someone might have made.
@drew I guess, one big question we should now be asking: are we amazed at the technology or the art it created? I am personally amazed about the former. <grin>
Yeah no I would call this demo-quality stuff, it's not anything I would use for a final anything. But you don't have to! You can just throw out ideas and hear something back, if you like it you develope it, if you don't just throw it out. You've gotta apply your personal touch to the thing to make it unique and interesting. But this cuts out so many stages in the endless noodling process.
@drew @vick21 A lot of comedy AI artists have been popping up lately and they're using the generated track as final. Some I guess prefer Suno. youtube.com/watch?v=2P2g_pXZ6J…

@drew One thing I would love to have on my local machine is an AI band. Say, you have a group of bandmates that you can play with, you and the rest are AI cats, dudes or whatever you’d call them! :) Would love to see them co-creating with me in real time! That would be wow!
@vick21 @drew That just cannot be far off. Logic 11 (which comes out on Monday) has a virtual keyboard and bassist that can apparently follow your chords and jam with you, I will of course be testing this.
