A tip for Leasey users working with JAWS Picture Smart.
In addition to giving you a description of an image once processed, you may know that you can ask questions relating to it.
This can either be done by activating the More Details link at the end of the description, or by asking a preliminary question using a number of newly introduced shortcut keys.
There may be lots of times when you want to ask the same question but for different images.
Examples might be:
Describe the pie chart only in this workbook.
This web page contains an image CAPTCHA. Provide more details.
The map on this page indicates the driver's location via a pin on the map. Give the location.
If you frequently need to ask similar questions, create Leasey abbreviations!
You will first of all need to create a Leasey Text containing the question and then you can assign it to a key sequence so as to reproduce the text in the future.
The Leasey documentation and hotkey help gives details of how to create abbreviations.
They can be used in any text edit area to reproduce huge passages of text, but Picture Smart is a good use case. #LeaseyLove
"Apple made a fateful decision that mobile-phone internet should be app-centric, not browser/website centric. Then Android copied their mistake."
Many interesting things in this article, but this is one particular gripe I have about today's Internet. I will go to so much unnecessary trouble just to avoid using somebody's app.

@miki Apple didn’t release (or, one might say *they withheld*) browser APIs that we needed to make useful web apps. It’s better now, but there is still too much friction. Apple and the App Store won, users and developers lost.
I agree with everything in the article. 💯
@com @miki Well, the initial mistake was when all the greedy consumer ISPs caused the Internet to go from IP (the protocol) -centric to Web-centric, effectively blocking all other protocols and services.
From that point, did it really matter whether it is web browsers or bespoke apps that dominate? Everything has to be shoehorned into TCP streams formatted as HTTP traffic, regardless of whether it is effective or not. We the users have already lost and have a subpar experience.
@ticho @com I think the mistake doesn't just lay with "greedy consumer ISPs", a lot of it was caused by opening up the internet to bad actors, the exhaustion of IPV4 space, an increased focus on privacy and the move to portable, battery-powered devices.
End-to-end connectivity with no firewall is the opposite of what users want because of security, static IPs are bad for privacy and impossible when people constantly switch between WiFi and cellular, and it's a terrible idea to allow unrestricted connectivity if you care about battery life.
Hah! I fixed the codec problem. Now #FluffyChat on iOS can play ogg files (by converting it to caf before) and also FluffyChat now records with opus/ogg codecs if the platform supports it, which should be the case on all Android devices and newer iOS devices.
Also tested with the WhatsApp bridge. Finally I can send voice messages to my friends on WhatsApp

Fractal 8 Released: The Linux Matrix Messaging App Gets Better!
A new upgrade has landed for Matrix users!Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)
Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out. We've retracted the boost and boosted the original post you linked to.
We monitor the #Matrix hashtag to try to find news to reshare with the ecosystem, and will be wary of that particular outlet going forward.
I was just told I'm threatening the Ventoy "community" by [checks notes] not mentioning it enough in my video. Had someone say they're coming after my systems now. 🙃
Didn't think I was going to be putting up my harassment defenses over a boot tool, but here we are.
So, here's my recommendation: don't use Ventoy.
The community will threaten you if you ever leave.

This is a wild story that says a lot about right-wing evangelicalism:

2) Bevin and his wife decided they don't like the boy so they ship him off to an abusive "troubled teen" facility in Jamaica
3) Jamaican government shuts down the horrible group
4) Bevin family abandoned the boy in Jamaica after the facility was closed

If OpenAI were a serious and responsible company they would enable their watermarking feature. But they know that it would completely undermine their product: Nobody wants to read "AI" generated shit and having that easily detectable would shed a bad light on their users. Which it should: If you don't want to write it, I don't want to read it.

OpenAI won’t watermark ChatGPT text because its users could get caught
OpenAI is reportedly internally divided over whether to watermark ChatGPT’s text output, worrying that although benefits exist, it could turn off users.Wes Davis (The Verge)
Text is just text, you can't watermark text without decreasing its quality.
Simple example, if you ask Chat GPT to count from 1 to 10000, either you get unwatermarked output or you get incorrect output, there's no way to do both.
It's important to note that this doesn't apply to any other format, images, audio and video can be watermarked easily with little to no difference to the human eye or ear.

New SpoonStack Dev Blog is up! Introducing the BitLadle project - highly efficient, Disability-Driven server tech for the unrepresented masses:
spoonstack.org/devblog/2024/08…
Making cool online stuff shouldn't be reserved for a small handful of people with privilege, money, time, and/or skills. BitLadle is part of changing that.
> There's also a bit of an unfortunate cultural tendency to conflate efficiency with a kind of extreme minimalism, which often ends up having very exclusionary results in practice - not something I'm keen to recreate.
This! So many minimal, from-scratch, "handmade" UIs are completely inaccessible with screen readers and other access tech.
The Scam: Demand that Black & trans people CW/TW their sociopolitical thoughts and issues. Make them hide the bigotry & racism they experience in life or online away. Unfollow people who speak on it. Mute all things political.
Then, conveniently, when people speak about the bigotry and racism they experience here, claim “well I don’t even see that…” because you purposely avoided politics with privilege, and demanded everything be on CW/TW.
Again. You’re not smart. You’re racist and complicit.
The type of person that’s part of a marginalized group and react to any improvement of that group’s situation with “people today are spoiled and get everything for free”
The “If i had a hard time, s then so should everyone after me”, which is effectively a demand that nothing ever improves.
Congratulations, you’re doing your oppressors’ work for them.
Dear white people: when Black people share our experiences with racism, don't ask us
"What can be done about it?"
We didn't invent racism.
And on some level, many of you know what needs to be done. It just sits outside of your comfort level.
Well, you need to learn to sit with that discomfort, then pose your questions about what needs to be done to other white people. You need to challenge racism within:
* YOUR family members who
are racist (The major holidays
are coming. Time to prepare!)
* Your friends and social
groups
* Your co-workers and
colleagues
* YOURself
Asking Black people to explain the dynamics of racism and to offer solutions, unless they volunteer that information, is asking for them to "educate you" by doing FREE emotional and intellectual labor - and most of us have enough on our plate trying to survive and thrive.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
i've made a thing: xkcd.fyi/
it's an alternative frontend to xkcd.com/ with some important differences:
- title text shown in a more accessible way (instead of abusing alt text)
- transcript included for every comic (with newer ones sourced from explainxkcd)
- link to explainxkcd.com/ (for when you don't get the joke)
- dark mode!

If you use Microsoft CoPilot in a web browser, you may have realised that JAWS will use what is known as Application Mode.
Put simply this mode is designed so as to treat a web-based environment as a standalone application.
With CoPilot there is a lot of difficulty with this approach. Even if you disable Application Mode by pressing NumPad Plus twice quickly, there are times where if you browse CoPilot with the Virtual Cursor, JAWS automatically goes back into Application Mode even if you have not asked it to do so.
A good example of this is where CoPilot displays items in a list. Ask it to create a food recipe for you and that will clearly demonstrate it.
The next update to Leasey will resolve this problem. There is some discussion about the benefits of Leasey on this platform right now. This is just one of the advantages. Issues like this can be resolved in short order. #LeaseyLove
Silly #PipeWire question for people out here… the program `pw-cat` takes raw input via `stdin`, and through experimentation on my AMD64 machine, I see it is little-endian audio.
Now, is it little-endian because AMD64 is little-endian, or is it little-endian because it's hard-coded for little-endian audio?
If I ran the same commands on a big-endian architecture (Sun SPARC, IBM PowerPC, MIPS, … etc), would PipeWire assume big-endian audio or little-endian?
There's a weird issue where you can't press Capslock, shift, and right arrow, but you can press left arrow, not sure what that's about either. Alt+Shift+ right arrow work, but not Windows +shift + right arrow, either. This computer has quirks of its own.
Zeptal jsem se lokální instance Llama3.1, proč pořád padají akcie Intelu. Asi bych ji najal jako lamu analytičku.
Je obtížné identifikovat jediný důvod pro dlouhodobou klesající tendenci cen akcií společnosti Intel. Společnost Intel je technologický lídr, který nabízí široký rozsah hardwaru a softwaru pro PC, serverové systémy, IoT (Internet věcí) a další oblasti.
Nicméně, existují několik možných faktorů, které přispívají ke klesající cenové tendenci akcií Intel:
Změna trhu: Za posledních pár let došlo v oboru PC k významnému poklesu prodejů. To bylo způsobeno změnami ve spotřebitelských preferencích a vyšší dostupností chytrých telefonů. Pokud je trh, který produkujete, klesající, bude se pravděpodobně cena vašich akcií snižovat.
Pokročilá konkurence: Existují společnosti jako AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), které se snaží Intel konkurovat v oblasti procesorů a dalších produktů. Přestože je Intel stále předním výrobcem procesorů, jeho tržní podíl může klesat, pokud AMD nebo jiní konkurenti získávali na popularitě.
Změna modelu příjmu: Historicky byla společnost Intel silná v oblasti hardwaru (procesory), ale také měla významný podíl na trhu softwaru (operating systemy a další). Nicméně, s úbytkem prodejů PC se společnosti stává stále těžší udržet svou tržní přítomnost. Pokud nebude schopna adaptovat svůj model příjmu nebo rychle zavádět novinky, může být cena akcií ovlivněna.
Investiční trendy: Obecně vzato, existují investiční trendy, které se objevují v různých obdobích. V posledním desetiletí existovaly trendované oblasti jako například kryptoměny, umělá inteligence nebo IoT, ale nyní je vidět návrat k tradicionalizmu a silnější důraz na dlouhodobou udržitelnost. Pokud se společnost Intel nenachází ve spojení s těmito trendy, může být její cena ovlivněna.
Finanční výsledky společnosti: Pokud bude mít společnost Intel slabá finanční výsledky, například snížení příjmů nebo zvýšení ztráty, jeho akcie by pravděpodobně klesly.
Je důležité poznamenat, že žádný z výše uvedených důvodů není absolutní a existují i pozitivní faktory, které mohou ovlivnit cenu akcií společnosti Intel. Je také důležité brát v úvahu širokou škálu dalších faktorů, jako například politickou situaci nebo ekonomický vývoj.
Je také nutné poznamenat, že cena akcií je dynamickým ukazatelem a může být ovlivněna mnoha různými faktory. Pokud chcete získat hlubší pochopení této situace, doporučuji vám, abyste se obraceli na odborníky v oblasti financí nebo analytiky z oboru technologií.
You know what type of #accessibility feature doesn’t get talked about enough?
Having multiple access points to achieve a goal, and the ability to choose how you want be contacted.
As someone who struggles with executive dysfunction, auditory information processing disorder, who sometimes can’t deal with hearing sound or speech, and has a lifetime of sleeping issues, enforcing phone calls in early morning to make appointments is cruel.
"Social media wasn’t web 2.0, it’s what *killed* Web 2.0!
You might think I’m arguing over mere nomenclature but the important fact is that this era existed, and the Web3 pitch pretends it didn’t. We already had decentralized internet with social features. This fact contradicts the story the Web3/blockchain advocates want to tell you, so their story skips this entire era."

Chipmakers puting AI cores in your CPU and not letting you use them for absolutely anything is the biggest waste of silicon in the history of modern computing.
Those tensor cores are godsend for things like large-scale CAD simulations but the only SDKs/samples provided are hardwired to run pretrained models.
There's no way to access the matrix/tensor capabilities directly. And that goes for both AMD and Intel.
