@remixman Have you tried that thing yet? I downloaded it the other day, and had fun hearing a lot of the voices. Would be nice if you could filter by language, but oh well. I tried to import an ePub to really hear it in action, and the app cried lol. Not tried again since it failed the first time. There's some pretty sweet voices in there, though.

Having no link to cancel a subscription on a SaaS is a dark pattern that should be illegal.

It is illegal, at least in Germany. Plus, you have to be able to cancel your subscription in not more than two clicks. That is called Faire Verbraucherverträge. I know because I was part of a team implementing it in a company I worked at 😊

@Bruce_Toews @menelion I use 7zip for compressed archives, and don’t use outlook at all, so these two things don’t really have any effect on my daily use. Also, not a fan of waiting forever and five years for a search result to come up in explorer with focus issues on the list box as the search continues to populate, versus waiting about 50 ms for the same search in everything.

@Bruce_Toews Oh no no, please don't feel offended, no one wants to offend you in any way. As far as I understood, Patrick asked why anyone would use _search_ feature in Explorer, not Explorer itself, and I agree with him in this.

What's better than train delay compensation in money? Train delay compensation in free coffee/tea! 😁

Especially after worsening the money delay compensation on 6 June 2023, you can easily get much more value by drinking a few hot beverages ☕

I did a calculation yesterday that made me want to scream. If you look at the *current* density of satellites in 1km altitude bins in Low Earth Orbit, and assume they are travelling at circular velocities (generally true), then Starlink satellites pass within <1km of each other EVERY 30 SECONDS.

At Starlink altitudes, everything is travelling at 7 km/second, so <1 km close approaches are terrifyingly close. Every 30 seconds. WHY.

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.

Fun fact, Liza Minnelli had a brother, Notton, who refused to get involved.

"Write a Poem", They Said.

"No need to rhyme", they said.
"Who'd have the time?" I said.

"But make it scan" they said.
"Give it a skipping gait, a steady pace, a fluid grace."
"If I can", I said.

"Use simile like a smuggler's pack.
Make metaphor a hollow shoe,
To sneak some subtle subtext through."
"Could do", I said.

"But never do as others do.
Always to thine truth be true."

"Mine?" I said.
"Fine," I said.

Made it back safely, but not before almost losing my metal wallet through Stockholm's security (they had taken me to the older-style systems, consequently removing all items from my bag including that wallet.) Then they handed back every single item to me, but somehow missed returning that wallet? Really. So now I am on the hook to track down an inconvenience you caused on my behalf, which took a lot of self-advocating. But in the end, I got the wallet just as I was about to board my flight.

Ich dachte eigentlich, dass wäre nur in Bayern so. Ich dachte, hier würden Schwangerschaftsabbrüche ohne Probleme zu bekommen sein. In unseren vielen Krankenhäusern.

Stattdessen: In ganz Bochum kann man nur in 1 Arztpraxis Abtreibungen vornehmen lassen. Der Arzt ist schon Jahre über dem Rentenalter.

Ich finde sehr schade, dass in den Werbeposts für die tax-the-rich Petition sehr viele Dinge angeprangert und als Forderung benannt werden, die überhaupt nicht Teil der Petition sind (und die ich z.B. nicht alle teile). Die Petition fordert die Einführung einer europ. Zweck gebundenen Vermögenssteuer, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

@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.

Wow. Amazing. First, I'm sorry to say that I don't remember Computersmith but I have fond memories of using ASAP with the DoubleTalk and I loved that particular combination. I remember an external Doubletalk which I thought was called the Doubeltalk LT. (No, Nuance Vocalizer, it was not called the Doubletalk Lieutenant.) So, did LT actually stand for Laptalk?

@DavidGoldfield There were actually three portable DoubleTalk speech synthesizers. LapTalk, as far as I know, was the first. Then MicroTalk came out with the LiteTalk. Around the same time, RC Systems, developers of the DoubleTalk, came out with the DoubleTalk Lite. Confusing huh?

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.

I also remember that the original voice of the Doubletalk was somewhat distorted or not quite as clear but a later update really improved it and I found it to be a calming voice to listen to but surprisingly very clear and easy to understand, not to mention super responsive with ASAP.

If YouTube really wanted to make people less annoyed they could help creators set up their videos so people who are subscribed auto-skip their calls to subscribe.

That alone would make nearly everyone subscribe to anything they might want to watch on a regular basis.

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.

The following will show how #lazy I’ve become in my, um, older age. I’m thinking I really would like an ice cream sandwich. The ones we have are really good, mint chocolate chip. Here’s the problem: They are in the freezer out in the garage, and my shoes are in the bedroom. So in order to get said ice cream sandwich I’d need to get out of the Lazy Boy, go to the bedroom, further away from the garage, put them on, and trek out to the garage. I’m evaluating if it’s worth the effort.
