I just read this, and have a bit of constructive criticism. The first version of Windows to include TTS functionality out of the box was actually Windows 2000.

Jo to je pravda, však už jsem ho pokáral, před zástavou Arch Linuxu Cz. Myslím, že co má na Threads maminku, už bude klid. :drake_like:

@keith You’d need to take into account people who want their contact information on there instead of just their registrar’s.

Contact points for domain issues that are unlikely to be the registrar’s fault can be useful for some orgs. An abuse contact that isn’t the registrar can be more useful if the org wants to be the first to know about an issue, or if the registrar is unlikely to hold the registrant accountable. Run some queries on domains own by large companies and you’ll see somewhat little WHOIS privacy despite it being easy for them to obtain.

So you’d need the default to have WHOIS privacy, and an opt-in to put your own contact information…which isn’t too different from the current landscape. NameCheap, Porkbun, I think Google Domains, etc. all offer WHOIS privacy by default.

My friend @pikhq is brilliant, and based on one of her suggestions, I've developed the worlds first artificial intelligence CEO!
in reply to rabbit

The CEO market is ripe for disruption! While it's tricky to teach an LLM to do very technical tasks, it's trivial to teach them to make decisions which maximize shareholder value. With the current cost of CEO labor, this is a market ripe for the picking!
in reply to rabbit

You could even supplement your virtual CEO with genuine human intelligence as necessary with gig CEOs. With CEOs costing in the millions of dollars a year, replacing them with gig-work CEOs which don't require bonuses could save significant operating expenses.

did you ever find out the reason they suddenly didn’t like you anymore? Did someone complain about you “hacking” them? 😅
in reply to Pink

@can nope, there was never any explanation given apart from "sometimes it can take a long time" - so we're left with speculations.

“Boeing said space mission is ‘going well’ as astronauts stranded” is an actual headline that’s not from The Onion.



My manager had a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, which included a lot of people. He ambushed me (in a good way) with a tribute to me. It started out with the intro music to the def sec podcast and a slide with some funny things I instituted/commonly said at work. There was a parade of people saying nice things and then he asked me to say some words. I held it together for about 30 seconds and then, me an oversized, over the hill seasoned vice president of a Fortune 500 company, broke down crying in front of several hundred people.

Anyhow, I hope your Thursday is good.

Dass sind mir die liebsten Meilensteine bei #streetcomplete

Jede Information macht die #openstreetmap Karte besser, aber Informationen zur Barrierefreiheit sind sehr nützlich.

Vielleicht sind bald Routings für Blinde und Rollifahrer möglich.

Wobei niemand vergessen sollte:

Wenn du lange lebst dann wirst du Behinderungen durch Alter oder Krankheit bekommen und auf Barrierefreiheit angewiesen sein.

Pokud máte rádi hořká piva, speciálně IPA a na tohle narazíte, dejte mu šanci. Je to vynikající, extra chmelové, jedno z nejvíce hořkých piv, co jsem kdy měl. Skvělé, jenom je potřeba dávat bacha na zvýšenou voltáž.
in reply to Cynik

ináč v UK sme mali radi toto pivo, väčšinou ho pili angličania a aj vďaka nemu si o nás mysleli že sme angličania :) bolo relatívne lacné a silné..

@SuspiciousDuck Carlsberg tady celkem frčí. Já ho nemusím, mě to chutná jak všechna ta euro rádoby piva, Heineken, Stela .. Když pivo, tak chodím na Staropramen a pokud není, tak St Miguel, ale spiš nějkou tu IPU nebo něco originálního z malých pivovarů, to tady mají všude.
in reply to Cynik

jako jo mám ten istý názor ale vtedy sme boli mladý blbý a chceli byť cool a stále mimo. Staroprameň je mimo mňa :)
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

@SuspiciousDuck Tak já taky nejsem úplně milovník Staropramene, ale když nic jiného není... Hospodu, kde točili Plzeň zabil Covid, tak ted už tady jiný ležák českého stylu nekoupíš
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

A to jsi tady byl jeste "za levno". Dneska pivo v hospode zacina na £6.09 a podle dryhu jde do £9.55

Pamatuju, kdyz jsem prijel, tak pivo bylo kolem £3.80-£5, ale to uz je let ... Jeste ze to uplne moc nepiju, jinak bych musel mit dalsi praci. Alkohol a tabak ma tady takove dane, ze je to masakr.

@miki Do you use an apple browser? I'm trying to track that issue down but it seems to only happen in apples browsers, so far only on IOS. But it's taking long to fully figure it out because I don't have an apple device myself.
in reply to The Byte Bender 👨🏽‍🦯

Yes, Safari on Mac.

I suspect this might be related to one of the audio formats being unsupported, I know Apple has some issues with that. Perhaps you should look into what formats are compatible and how to transcode them properly with ffmpeg.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki Most of our audio is lossy. Transcoding lossy to another lossy format will have considerable implications, not to mention the time it takes to transcode the longer audios is massive! Literally all other browsers play every common thing just fine but apple's gotta be apple again. I don't know what to do about that issue for now.
in reply to The Byte Bender 👨🏽‍🦯

TBH most if not all media platforms (including Mastodon) transcode, it's only the tiny little blindy ones that don't.

There's nothing wrong with having a "download original" option, of course.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki I wouldn't jump so quickly and associate it with blindness. There are valid reasons related to quality in transcoding, especially for a platform which its hole point is audio.

@kc I'd love to know if any automated tests were used as part of atlasdigitalebarrierefreiheit.…

I didn't see any listed, but not sure how this list of sites can be maintained without it.

Obviously involving people with disabilities to test and evaluate is critical too. Automated testing will only ever get so far.
