#Amazon has started creating auto-generated #AI reviews. The review for my @scarfolk book says that it's "full of fun, fascinating articles for children".
Would that be the book that I designed around cult brainwashing techniques and contains images of dead & disfigured kids?
This is a short tutorial video on how to receive events/tasks almost instantly from your @nextcloud on your Android device using DAVx⁵ and our new Push functionality.
2. Install a @unifiedpush distributor on your Android, then select it in the DAVx5 settings.
3. Deactivate and reactivate a calendar resource in DAVx5 in the details view of a resource and wait 5 seconds. "Subscribed" should appear, and you're ready.
Umm... "This extension is in a very early stage of development. It is for demonstration and testing purposes only. Don't use it on production systems!" That means it's better to wait?
@rc It can't break anything, so you can try. and you can deactivate it, too, again. it's not near final, it may stop working without any warning or error, it may get slower over time, and such things. testing it and goving feedback always helps with the development :)
Tapping on #UnifiedPush in the #Dav5X settings instantly picked up UnifiedPush and subscribed, showing my account in brackets. The NextPush Android app showed Davx5 as subscribed.
It seems I had to turn the collection off and on a couple of times before it showed as subscribed, and it still takes about 30 seconds to update. Could that just be #GrapheneOS's default calendar app that I'm using?
Followed the tutorial and now see Push Support as Subscribed for CalDAV entries. Should the Push Support info also show for CardDAV? So far not seeing that info in CardDAV.

It's one of the most pervasive common wisdoms shared all over the web, no matter where you go - it's one of those things everybody seems to universally agree on: Chrome will absolutely devastate your battery life on the Mac, and you should really be using Safari, because Apple's special integration magic pixie dust sprinkles ensures Safari sip
Buenos días, fedi, y en particular residentes en las Españas.
Hoy se abre la convocatoria de becas de Colegios del Mundo Unido (CMU en español, UWC en inglés). Se trata de becas para estudiantes que estén cursando ahora 4º de ESO o 1º de Bachillerato, para cursar durante dos años el Bachillerator Internacional en uno de los 18 colegios internacionales, repartidos por todos los continentes, de la organización.
Yo estudié en el de Noruega (UWC Red Cross Nordic College) y además de una oportunidad única fue una experiencia inolvidable. Si conocéis a alguna persona en situación de solicitar estas becas y con inquietudes e interés por conocer otras culturas y asumir estar 2 años fuera estudiando en inglés, por favor hacédselo llegar.

While we're still not moving as fast as I'd like with Circle reviews, I'm happy that we managed to get 6 new apps accepted during the 47 cycle 🥳
By the way, the Circle committee is always looking for new reviewers. If you're somewhat familiar with GNOME app development practices and design patterns and would like to help, please get in touch :)

I upgraded #GNOME #Calls to #gtk4 + #libadwaita for fun. It's now released in v47.0! Should be available soon in your #LinuxMobile distribution of choice 🚀
Massive thanks to @devrtz, @agx, @brainblasted, and Maximiliano for putting up with my beginner-level GTK skills!
Who Could Ever Love You by Mary Trump review – family burn book dishes on Donald | Autobiography and memoir | The Guardian theguardian.com/books/2024/sep…
An article just went up on Eurogamer talking about the Periphery Synthetic game and the state of game accessibility for both blind gamers and blind developers. It features comments from many respected blind consultants and developers including @talon, @shaysters and yours truely. I think it's totally worth a read because it covers the topic from multiple angles very well eurogamer.net/periphery-synthe… #GameAccessibility #GameDev #IndieDev
And if you haven't checked out the game the previously posted article is talking about you absolutely should. It's a very chill experience where you're exploring a planet with an advanced suit that can be upgraded to drive, fly and even travel underwater. What's really unique is all sound in the game is synthesized in realtime, giving it a very unique, kind of synth wavy vibe. That also means that when you do things like skip on the surface of the water or drift around in the sand in the vehicle mode it has a very organic sound, and this is coupled with very good use of vibrations if you have a gamepad connected. There's also a musical instrument included that you can play as you game. It really shows off what's possible with the WebAudio API. You can get it either on Steam or DRM free on itch: store.steampowered.com/app/212… shiftbacktick.itch.io/peripher…
I'm actually kind of sad that when talking about indie games they completely failed to mention Sequence Storm. The sheer gamut of accessibility options in that, above and beyond those for BVI players, is a big deal I think. The size of the accessibility menu alone indicates that much.
I've been trying to play Periphery Synthetic for awhile now, and have no idea of what I'm doing or supposed to do. I'm obviously moving, but the environment hasn't changed. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, but playing the musical instrument is pretty neat, especially with my Xbox controller.
@fireborn It might, though you'd need a controller or keyboard. If you get the itch version there's a raw html zip as part of the download as well as a demo you can play right in the browser. . I remember trying either a much earlier version of this game or one of his previous in Safari and it seem to mostly work though iirc some ambient sounds were missing. I should try again.
@fireborn Well, from your other recent post I see you're now on Android so I'd totally give it a try. It'll either work really well because it's developped with electron so just Chrome, or fail spectacularly because it really pushes web audio to the limit so between a mobile CPU and Android chrome not being as well optimised it just won't be able to keep up. But there are also some settings to turn off things like reverb and lower the audio quality a bit for slower systems so you might very well get it going.
@Orinks I just wish I could figure it out. I really wish there was a sound guide to understand the different sounds. I want so much to get into this because it is such a chill thing.
@blindbat84 @Orinks What I would suggest you do to start with is go into the settings and turn down the music a bit at least to start. It’s really pretty and dynamic changing based on where you are but it can make things more confusing. Then, just keep doing the area scan which will reveal any materials you can collect with pings followed by a continuous sound that you can just center and move toward. After you collect a material, rinse and repeat. Eventually this will let you upgrade parts of the suit to let you drive around and eventually also fly. The other sounds you hear when you scan is a continuous rhythmic beeping for your next destination of interest which might be more prceptions you can read or a portal to the next world, and the other sounds you hear that quickly change in pitch is the terrain shape around you. So if you hear the scanner make very high pitched humming that tells you there are hills you might need to jump up to climb, while if you hear lower descending sounds that tells you there are valleys. @bscross32 did a short gameplay recording that demonstrates a lot of this in practice though his suit is already upgraded a bit which yours won’t be at first. audiopub.site/listen/f4205bca-…

September 15: 40 minutes delay so far. Time to bet on whether the train even shows up or whether they just say "screw it" and cancel it altogether. Not that it helps me be any less stuck here for the next half hour, mind you.

I have played a little bit with OpenAI's new iteration of #GPT, GPT-o1, which performs an initial reasoning step before running the LLM. It is certainly a more capable tool than previous iterations, though still struggling with the most advanced research mathematical tasks.
Here are some concrete experiments (with a prototype version of the model that I was granted access to). In chatgpt.com/share/2ecd7b73-360… I repeated an experiment from mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1099482491… in which I asked GPT to answer a vaguely worded mathematical query which could be solved by identifying a suitable theorem (Cramer's theorem) from the literature. Previously, GPT was able to mention some relevant concepts but the details were hallucinated nonsense. This time around, Cramer's theorem was identified and a perfectly satisfactory answer was given.
