Announcement is out. Our Mastodon server strangeobject.space will end in about three months after two years of operation.
Feels like a big weight falling off.
Here's the full post on our server blog:
I truly don't get how FedEx is still in business. This is my second package in 2 years that's on its 3rd delivery day. Not in transit, mind you, just failed/missing delivery attempts with no explanation other than "we'll try again." Guessing it's stuck on a truck circling Austin while they come up with today's excuse.
I'm sure other delivery companies have their challenges but FedEx ranks up there with the worst. My partner used them to send a Christmas gift to her sister a few years back and all that arrived was a busted-up empty box with a "Sorry for what happened to your package" note attached. Like, at that point don't deliver the damn empty box, just write it off as a loss! I can't even...
I have said this several times but it bears repeating now:
A very large portion of the Fediverse values tone over substance. "Politeness" and "civility" over what people are actually saying.
This leads to a constant background noise of just rancid replies that are all phrased in a superficially "nice" tone.
Justified anger and non-diplomatic push-back however is heavily policed and dismissed as "bad habits" brought over from elsewhere.
Unless this fundamentally changes, it will never be a place that's safe for marginalized people who have to stand up for themselves and face a constant stream of condescension, dismissiveness, and outright hostility.
A lot of the time it absolutely does live up to its reputation as a place where middle aged white cis men tell you how your perspective and expertise don't matter, and where you better watch your mouth when talking back to them.

A new update to Leasey version 9 should be made available on Thursday with the following changes:
Word Quick Navigation Keys. Leasey can remember the state of Quick Navigation on a document by document basis.
Check the documentation for details.
Microsoft CoPilot. JAWS no longer uses Application Mode and instead uses traditional web page navigation. This prevents JAWS from moving into and out of Navigation Mode particularly in lists of items.
In addition, if you move out of CoPilot and back to it, the virtual cursor is located in the correct position on the page.
VLC Media Player. In JAWS 2024, the total and elapsed time scripts are now functioning again.
Emoji. When using the Leasey key then Control+Shift+E, the correct emoji character is once again inserted into the document or text edit area. This was broken in the previous build, 9027.
Outlook Attachments. When using Windows11, and the Leasey file attachments list, copying and pasting into File Explorer should now be working again.
Microsoft Word. The list of recent documents is now functioning.
A note concerning Enafore scripts.
These will not be included in Leasey version 9. While the scripting itself is of a good standard, it is difficult to imagine how anyone would want to work with Mastodon in this way due to focus refreshing and the fact that you need to work through a timeline in reverse order. These have been shelved for the time being.
It is envisaged that the next update to Leasey will support JAWS version 2025.

Sorry for all of the spamming with the writing prompts today, friends. Yesterday was busy, and I didn't have the time to post. And now that I've been thinking on the questions, my answers are quite verbose.
Honestly, by this point, the fact that I'm long-winded shouldn't come as a surprise. 😆
Happy Monday!
Also, MyWheels 🙄
At least the error message is very descriptive, not just typical something went wrong kind of thing.
"By not showering for two whole weeks, you enabled an AI Facebook bot to create and post several images of Jesus eating breakfast at a Denny’s, which ultimately convinced 837,000 people that Christ had returned to Earth. Did you notice his legs are two dolphin tails? You’re the only one who did."
Today in 1959 Dave Brubeck quartet released their single "Take Five". It's one of the Jazz standards today, was used in several movie sound tracks and still receives a significant radio airtime.
The song was not written by Dave Brubeck as many believe but by Paul Desmond (on saxophon).

Auch wenn es "uns" ja (noch?) nicht zu betreffen scheint.
Und wenn se da noch so viel KI draufballern.
Servo now supports devtools again!

The new spinner is way more fun when running silverblue 41 fulltime now. @alice deserves so much praise for the polish in everything. Thank you!

Bylo to fakt už předem jasné. Manželka se snažila tady na Liberecku aspoň o pár letáků před volbami, jelikož tu jsou Piráti trvale neviditelní (na rozdíl od plakátů a banerů od prolhaných stran typu SPD/ANO/KSČM), nějaká paní od Pirátů vysvětlila, že je úmysl nemít nikde mimo oficiální plochy plakáty, protože by to Piráty zdiskreditovalo. A že bude ten a ten den v časové rozmezí ve Frýdlantu na náměstí, kam můžeme pro letáky přijet. Byli jsme tam, paní nikde, ani žádný stánek apod.

Kdy tohle skončí.. 🤨
