As with so many WP articles related to the fediverse, so much crucial information has been pruned out of the article covering StatusNet that it's arguably become misleading;

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statusne…

Articles seem to comes to the attention of... certain editors. Who know nothing about the subject, and worse, seem to consider accuracy irrelevant to the quality of WP articles. They add nothing, but prune anything not spelled out in the existing references.

@jcsteh if the details/summary element could be consistently styled / the HTML parser would be updated to allow a details within a paragraph, or to cross paragraph boundaries - then sure i guess.

seems people have commented further with more details concerning styling concerns / potentially unwanted behaviors. but it's really the styling and parser limitations that make reusing details unlikely for many people now. change that, then there's even less of a need for such a niche widget.

This one may be of special interest to @datajake1999 among others. Here I talk at length about and briefly demonstrate the LapTalk portable speech synthesizer designed and sold by my parents' company, Computersmith Enterprises, in 1991-92. This is something I had no idea we still had, but I found it in a box of junk the other day.

Thank you; I never knew there were three versions of the external Doubletalk. Now I don't know which model I used. I think it had a somewhat recessed knob, kind of like what I remember being similar to an old transistor radio? Mostly, I used the internal version. If I could get a Doubletalk with a USB connector and a screen reader that would support it I'd love to use it again. But it was like magic when using it with ASAP. ASAP was always my favorite DOS screen reader. As far as I know, I don't think Larry Skutchan ever charged for updates to that software. The cost, I think, was $325 and that was it.

@DavidGoldfield If your unit had a thumb wheel which turned it on and adjusted the volume, that was either LiteTalk or DoubleTalk Lite. If it ran on a nine volt battery, it was DoubleTalk Lite. If it had only a serial port, and the cable was built-in, that was DoubleTalk Lite. If it had a female serial port and a male parallel port, that was LiteTalk.

There's an old, crude expression I'm fond of because I am an old, crude man, that you don't let the camel's nose into the tent if you do not want the camel's ass in the tent soon.

Anyway, here's an article about Amazon. Could be about printers, could be about lots of things. Really it's about business models delivered through hardware.

Movim 0.27 Lovas is finally there! 🎉

In this #Movim #release you'll find the first exciting video-conferencing features integrated with the help of the @nlnet funding. A big thanks to them for their precious support 😊 ❤️

The call flow is now completely integrated in the main window and an important refactoring was done both in the frontend part and the #XMPP Jingle stack.

You will also find several user interfaces fixes as well as a database reorganization.

⚠️ This version is also fixing a serious security issue that could cause remote-code execution under specific circumstances. We are inviting you to update as soon as possible.

I found this podcast on the ethics of AI, including its tendencies toward greater economic and social power accumulation, to be more insightful a discussion than most.

So this was a computer designed for people who just needed something cheap to do word processing and the like. The details on the specs are rare, but apparently it has 5 megabyte of ROM, 4 megabyte of RAM, and 1 megabyte of flash storage.
Since this is the NB-80C, it's got a 10.4" 640x480 color LCD. (the NB-60 has a 9.4" 640x480 greyscale LCD)

This article doesn't have the word "commute" in it at all. Not very many of them do.

"As much as an 8 percent raise", but 8% of an 8 hour day is about 45 minutes. Which is... a 20 minute commute to and from work, which is time out of your life your employer is taking from you, unpaid, for which employer and employee both gain nothing.

And a 20 minute commute in Toronto is a _joke_, it's nothing. 40, 60, sometimes 90 are common.

I wish journalists could do math.

Imagine a job offer that read:

"As a condition of your employment, you will spend an additional 60 to 90 minutes every day in a mildly unpleasant environment accomplishing nothing. You will not be compensated for this time, nor any costs incurred during this time. Nothing that happens during this time will be valued or recognized by your employer in any way. However, should you decline these conditions or fail to complete them you will be fired."

A reasonable person might ask "what the hell".

Snáď iba preháňam, ale nemôžem si pomôcť. Vždy keď zavadím o noviny, vidím ako deň po dni prerážame nové dno (žumpy).
Dostanú ľudia už rozum? Alebo dostane vláda mrzkej lúzy 2.0 nejaký ďalší geniálny nápad... nejaký Lex "nechajte nás v tichosti kradnúť"?

Každopádne už nedokážem iba kľudne sedieť, na cenzúru sa treba pripraviť:

oh, no-no it’s not that bad!

It’s even worse!

In 1991 you could get $2 for 1₽.
In ‘92 it was just 0.8¢
By ‘97 crashed to 0.016¢

Then RUB was denominated by factor 1000 (1000₽ → 1₽) in ‘98

So now you get 16¢ for 1 new ₽, but…

by ‘99 it was already 4¢
and in ‘24 it’s back to 1¢

But now you know that it’s actually 0.0001¢.

So it’s 2$ to 0.0001¢ in just 35 years.

Yeah, you are reading this right:

RUB in ‘24 worth 2,000,000 (two million) times less than in ‘91 comparing to USD

Kinda make you think, right?

But wait!

let’s look 100 years back. It’s 1920 and exchange rate it still about 1¢ for 1₽

Catch is that along the way it was denominated 6 times, by total factor of 5 × 10¹⁵ so in just a century it’s value comparing to USD is fallen

5 000 000 000 000 000

five
quadrillion
times

1 quadrillion is 1000 trillions, so it’s 140 times bigger than US national debt.

“crashing” is just a permanent state of Russian economy
