I’m looking to get an extendable iPhone stand to take shots with. I’ll mainly use it to Take pictures of my TV with a GPT shortcut. Does anyone have any recommendations? Please repost if you can thank you.




People want to know a lot of stuff - but not too much or else it's overwhelming!

People want to know unique details - but not too many or else they'll seem like a nerd!

People want to know what everyone else already knows - but still know things that others don't!

People want to know secrets - but not ones so important that they can't brag about knowing them.

People want to know all the gossip - but not so much that they appear shallow.

People want to be smart - but not have to learn.



Sometimes I wish for an aria-shortlabel attribute but then I know people would misuse it badly.

(The idea is to have a long label – rotate the image anti-clockwise – on first focus and a shorter label – anti-clockwise rotation – in subsequent instances. Sometimes it’s just hard to front-load information.)

in reply to Eric Eggert

We already have aria-details for longer descriptions with markup (support is still very flakey but I imagine some level of support should exist by 2026 or 2027), aria-description for longer labels, and aria-label for regular concise labels. Adding a fourth option will probably make things too confusing; you’re right that people would misuse it.


Important: Acapela TTS is blocking users who have the MultiTTS app installed on their devices from using their Acapela voices. If you have MultiTTS installed, it is recommended to clear the MultiTTS data and uninstall it before updating the Acapela app. Note that Accessible Android doesn't encourage the use of MultiTTS, and this post is only meant to alert users since many are already using the app.
in reply to Accessible Android

I totally forgot to clear the app data, I just uninstalled it. do you think that is ok? shouldn't that get rid of the app data too?
in reply to Accessible Android

well I am getting the update now, so will let you know if this works, or it breaks.
in reply to Accessible Android

ok, here is what I found out after I got the acapella update. I ran the acapella app its self, and I didn't get any warnings or anything like that. I then went into tts settings, and changed from vocalizer to acapella and sharon came up right away talking. so it looks like if you just uninstall the multi tts without clearing the app data, you are fine.

If they can do this for vocalizer, they can do it for eloquence. There is no excuse.
in reply to Jay Pellis

@jpellis2008 "CodeFactory discontinued Eloquence because it required updates to support 64-bit systems. However, due to the low revenue generated from the sales, they decided it was not financially viable to continue development. Additionally, they no longer hold the license for Eloquence, which prevents them from resuming production even if circumstances changed. Unfortunately Eloquence for Android is not returning anytime soon.
in reply to Accessible Android

I hope that this version quietly mitigates the drm-enduced speech crashes. Happy to see this be updated. Oddly enough for a 2024 update, the Nuance branding is still intact. You'd think it would have switched to Cerence by now.


#natenom Weil der Diskurs hier doch sehr einseitig verläuft:
Aus dem Ermittlungsergebnis ist öffentlich nur bekanntgeworden, dass der Angeklagte aus Unachtsamkeit den tödlichen Unfall verursacht haben soll. Daher der Strafbefehl wegen fahrlässiger Tötung. Kein Mord, auch kein Totschlag und vor allem kein Vorsatz. (1/x)

All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!

Completing the Gàidhlig translation of Thunderbird email client on Android would be a great community project. A small amount of Scottish government funding/support would help too.

in reply to David Strachan

@chillypenguin Oh, this is a really good idea - both for this language and others that are in danger of falling under 70% translated. We'll definitely pass it on to our new community manager once we hire them, and maybe we could do some outreach!

I'll really have to figure out some good and suitable #backup system.
I know I've way to less backups, if this drive would fuck up, I'd be kinda lost as well, but I don't just want to copy every folder into another location by hand. And also I don't want to have tons of copys of old data on other drives I might not even use anymore. I need to sync the data somehow, so that if I delete something in the main location, it also gets deleted in the backup location because obviously I'm no longer using it. So why keeping tons of old copies. Basically I would just need to sync some folders somewhere perioticly. How do you guys organise your backups?

Have a look at Rclone and choose what ever service you want to store things in.

Ich finde es wirklich schade, auf wieviel Widerstand Menschen mit Behinderungen stoßen, wenn sie darauf hinweisen, dass etwas nicht barrierefrei ist.
Klar, niemand wird gern kritisiert, aber wir werden nie weiterkommen, wenn alle die nicht-barriefreien Bilder, Videos, Räumlichkeiten etc. einfach wortlos akzeptieren.
Unter linken Personen/Gruppen (bei anderen kenne ich mich ehrlich gesagt nicht aus) gibt es leider einige, die dann gleich ziemlich beleidigt reagieren. Vor allem, wenn sie das Gefühl haben, schon etwas für Menschen mit Behinderung zu tun, sind manche da ziemlich pikiert, als hätte die betroffene Gruppe einfach nur still & dankbar zu sein und keinesfalls mit kritischem Feedback daherzukommen.

The time of check is dying, and the time of use struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters


In the last poem of the Kalevala, the sage Väinämöinen gives a bad verdict. Embarrassed, he sails away from the lands of Kaleva. He leaves his kantele and songs to the people. A boy born to a virgin becomes the new ruler of the land. The story is thought to tell of the arrival of Christianity.

Dětské kolo Specialized 24

Mám tady po nejstarším Specialized kolo na prodej. Velikost rámu 13.5 a velikost kol 24. #Praha 6 Břevnov osobka.

Visí v kolárně a už jsem na něj normálně zapomněl 🙈
Jsme druzí majitelé a mladík na něm moc nejezdil. Jen je píchlé, špinavé a zřemě potřebuje nové brzdy.

Za 3k by to šlo? 🤔



Vôbec neoddychujem, keď sa tak tvárim tak pijem a to je presný opak oddychu. Nie som ani chorý iba stále s opicou. To je proste fakt.
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Alkohol je nervový jed. Škodí. Doporučuji ho nějak kontrolovat. Že by přešla chuť? Dělat místo pití něco jiného. Zdravějšího? Třeba pomáhat lidem?
in reply to Lucinek

@Lucinek chuť ako chuť ma prechádza ale chute ako baženie nie, ja viem že alkohol - závislosť. Tak na hrane som a väčšinou sa vo mne prejaví pud sebazáchovy a dám si pauzu ale momentálne mi to trvá. Pomáhať ľuďom? Keď niečo vidím okolo seba a myslím si že treba pomôcť pomôžem ale ako cielene? Neviem ani či to chcem a hlavne si musím ešte svoj "piesoček upratať".




A vážně si v EU myslí, že tohle něčemu pomůže?
Vše poběží dál, jen do EU se budou dodávat ty dražší suroviny, které budou mít jakýsi certifikát, který možná něco dokazuje a možná také ne. Jen další z hřebíčků do konkurenceschopnosti Evropy. 🙁

Dnes je tak ošklivo, že si dělám vážné starosti, jak přicházející zimu vydržím? Na druhé straně se utěšuji, že na mě nikdo nestřílí rakety a nehází bomby. Nejsem na útěku a jsem zdravá. Že by se zima dala k něčemu využít? Čtení náročné a objemné literatury v originálních jazycích? A co pohyb? Dohrabat se na hory?
in reply to Lucinek

podobnú taktiku používám aj ja že nie sme (zatiaľ) vo vojnovom stave, nič mi nechýba a som zdravý. Čo budem robiť cez zimu? To isté čo do teraz pracovať, spamovať fedi a tak no... vlastne ešte škola a tu a tam ma berie ísť si zabehať ale tak podobne ma berie aj alkohol čiže nerobím vlastne nič.

🤍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🤍

Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.

- Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
- Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
- Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
- Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb

There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.
