pohoda, v práci..

Hey all, I have a nice pro tip for you. If you want to record iPhone's audio, like VoiceOver, games or whatever else and comment on it then you may run into an issue where your headphone mic is captured by default and there's no apparent way to change it. That's true, but you can download an app such as Ferrite Studio, set monitor to your iPhone mic, disable the mic in the screen recording control panel control and voila!

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry delete that platform.

Edited: apparently the tweet about "weird" being a slur is a fake and has been debunked, so I am taking it down (see, even I have to check my sources sometimes!) However, I am leaving the post up and replacing the fake tweet with a real one where he calls the word "cis" a slur and whines about how he will punish people who use it.

Elon Musk: "Targeted harassment against my account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words "cis" or "cisgender" are considered slurs on this platform.

18.1 definitely still has the silent notifications bug. It's now spanned five major iOS releases, almost a third of iOS's full lifetime. At this point, it's a feature not a bug.

Open source nonprofits are weird. Why don't they just focus on hiring more developers?

The answer is long and complex, but the short version is that open source nonprofits are weird because they (need to) go beyond tech.

Here is a tale about fiscal status, fundraising, governance and two worlds colliding.

A particular thank you to @al for demystifying the world of nonprofits for me, and @richlitt for sharing his extensive nonprofit experience.

Why are open source nonprofits so weird?

In the open source industry, creating an American nonprofit to serve and fund a project is not uncommon. These structures can choose a fiscal status depending on their needs within a wide range defined by the IRS.

Hello @unread. I heard about the app thanks to Mac Stories, and after trying the Mac version I'm really impressed. I'm a blind VoiceOver user and everything is read perfectly, it's also probably the most responsive RSS reader I tried, probably the fact the UI is appkit based has a lot to do with that. :) So because I liked the Mac app I decided to try out the iOS version, and I think I found a bug. I see you payed a lot of attention to accessibility on iOS because there's a lot of really good use of actions, and both the list of feeds and articles as well as the articles themselves are read well. However, I don't see any buttons anywhere. Like on the main screen I would expect some buttons to go into settings or edit the accounts I added, or some controls on the article reading screen, but right now all I see with VoiceOver is the list of accounts/tags/articles, and the article contents if I open one. Did I find a bug or am I missing something? :)

@johann Oh, so they are. That is really clever! Probably worth having some kind of pop up when the app is ran for the first time if VO is on to tell people about it though, because I totally get the reasoning but didn't think to try this.

I hope that one day Thunderbird will get a way to use colours in message list to show threads with unread messages.

Upgraded from 115 to 128 and partially read threads with new messages are marked with few green dots. Like "Upcoming libpkgconf soname bump in Rawhide" thread on screenshot. For me it is barely visible.

Does AI entice people to buy?

No. No it does not. People are less likely to buy things when AI is a part of the product description.

Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.

it's more the shape of the device, where things are on it, how your fingers sit.
For example if you google an Orbit 20 Reader versus a Brailliant BI20 you'll see some have keys at the front, some don't. Really hard to get a feel for something without ... well. having a feel, I guess. Thanks for the info!

I have a Zoom meeting coming up. While I don't like Google's dominance of most common online tasks, one thing they do right is meetings. When I'm invited to one, it gets added to my calendar unless I decline it. This gives me a warning before it starts, and puts it on my watch face. I can even join the meeting right from the event or the calendar notification. Zoom meetings don't do any of this. As a result, I really don't like Zoom.

I have a love-hate relationship with Meet.

The main gripe I have with it is that it never get account right. I have two accounts logged in on this machine, personal and workspace, with personal being the default. It always wants to join meetings using my personal account, even though that's not the one that was invited and the other account is also logged in.

🧐 it occurs to me that geeks with blogs could modify the page generation to insert

<span aria-hidden="true" style="display: none;">RANDOM WORD HERE</span>

liberally throughout their posts, as a mechanism for poisoning them for AI without harming users. Prolly better if using a class instead of style to increase bar for bots to knowing this span is BS.
