Today is ✨ World Lemur Day ✨! 💜 💙 💚 Impish Indri is one of 2,500 celebrating their diversity and natural habitat. #art #fediart #mastoart
An Indri is the largest living lemur. I've painted her in front of an impressive landscape. It is sitting on a wooden chair, wearing colorful fur (rainbow & pastel) and a slight smile ;). https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Impish-Indri-891364196"

i think the privatization and financialization of everyday services and goods has done more than anything in culture to make society decohere. interacting with the world on basically any level now largely consists of attempting to outwit giant systems designed to exploit you. from the perspective of an individual, there is virtually no consistent expectation of any duty of care, moral responsibility, or trust evident in daily life, so there's little to suggest you value those qualities either

@Tutanota What can we do about the .io email addresses that many people own on Tuta? Is there anything we can do before the .io disappears?
Is it really gonna disappear? :(

It's #Kobo, not Amazon that will be the death of my wallet. Since I found a way to read books purchased from there, I've ditched kindle and well, it's gonna cost me a lot. So much to read.
Love it though.

Not only is it Friday, it’s also World Pasta Day - so here’s an old poem to celebrate.
Remembrance of Things Pasta She blew her fusilli, my pretty penne, when she found me watching daytime tagliatelle.   Je ne spaghetti rien, I responded in song, but she did not linguini for long,   just walked out without further retort: a hard lesson to be tortellini, orzo I thought.   And so here I am, on my macaroni, and now my days feel cannelloni. Brian Bilston

Trying to see something.

1- If you have an Indian name, and if there are different common Romanizations (e.g. Shanti/Shanthi, Adarsh/Aadarsh/Adharsh/Aadharsh), does it bother you if people use the wrong one?

2- Do you do any reading for pleasure in an Indian (by which I mean non-English) language?

one of my staff just shared an error message from an internal system that just said "nope" and I think that system is my secret spiritual leader

I can't help but feel that this proliferation of generative AI in our lives is going to cause a massive quality-of-life decrease. People are already using these tools that spit out nonsense, and then treating the nonsense as fact. What is the incentive for the tool makers to improve the quality of output? There is a vicious cycle at work here and the only people who seem to be benefiting are the venture capitalists and tech executives.

Next week, those products which need to be updated for use with JAWS 2025 will be uploaded. All the work is now done, so they will be uploaded as we go through the week.

The most requested product is Leasey.
In addition to providing a number of enhancements so as to be optimal with JAWS 2025, the following fixes have been made:
On some machines, the setting to preserve Quick Navigation keys in Word documents was not functioning.
All time conversion features in LeaseySearch are working again.

I've been checking out a fair bunch of videos by the YT channel "#Revolution and #Ideology”. They succinctly put what they do in their About as: "Jared (#History) and Nick (#Sociology) discuss history and theories related to revolution and #SocialChange." What I appreciate is that they have conversations about source texts through quotation, not simplified summaries. #Philosophy #Anthropology

As a blind user, I find LLMs like ChatGPT pretty useful because they output in audio or text. However, I wonder if they start generating videos, it might not be useful for us. Many videos, like YouTube tutorials, are often optimized for sighted audience, and most likely models would be trained on these types of videos to generate in similar style. I can ask to describe the video, but it won't be the same experience as videos designed with accessibility in mind. #accessibility #LLM #AI

Rolling out to #Pachli Current now:

- Long-press links, hashtags, and mentions to open the "share sheet"
- Better UI when writing media captions
- #Accessibility fixes:
. "Open boost author" works as intended
. Include a "Copy" button for links/hashtags/mentions in dialogs
. Show links/hashtags/mentions options in notifications
. Use checkboxes when managing list membership

Most of these were from user feedback. Thanks to everyone who took the time to provide it.

Two months ago, I replaced the Ubiquiti USG3P router with a more capable UXG Gateway Lite, which is better in almost every way.
However, I had a problem with idle TCP sessions closing after 5 minutes, which is a real bummer with SSH sessions.
I finally figured out how to fix it.
In short, a default setting is missing a 0.
To fix, login to the router's SSH console, and type sysctl -w net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_unacknowledged=300

Luckily we have some alternatives, but it's very sad to see that a lot of people are struggling with maintenance, high server costs, etc. Anyways, I'm going quite off-topic here.

next week's pay will be my 9th since i started at my current company.
I have now paid more tax than the value of the Braille equipment they got me. So happy not taking form the taxpayers month, or something.

Op vrijdag 22 november (13u30) en zaterdag 23 november (11u) organiseer ik een wandeling vanuit de Krook in #Gent waar we met #OpenStreetMap en @MapComplete bewakingscamera's in kaart gaan brengen.

Na een korte uitleg gaat iedereen een eigen kant op, op zoek naar camera's.

AWESOME new @kagihq update:
For ex: I want to look at the #OpenStreetMap wiki page for (power) sockets.

Previously you could do search like this:
socket !osmwiki
this would bring you to wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sp…

But if I know that the chance of the right page being the first result on #Kagi is high, I can just do:
socket @osmwiki !
then I land on: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke…:*

! is basically the Kagi equivalent of that google "i'm feeling lucky" feature from back in the day

@pietervdvn yeah Kagi is using the same ddg bang list but with some modifications.

instead of doing
!wosm <search>

I now will do
@wosm <search> !

which will put me on the first result Kagi finds. skipping having to click on the osmwiki search results first.

In my example, doing

!wosm socket
would land me on the search results page on the wiki
but
@wosm socket !
would land me directly on the key:socket page

Undefined behavior consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be compiler developers whom the language standard protects but does not bind, alongside developers whom the language standard binds but does not protect

You know what’s not talked about enough …

Mourning a friendship that doesn’t exist anymore.

Mourning for people who are still alive but are no longer apart of your life.

Mourning over memories.

Mourning over relationships/friendships that just aren’t the same.

Mourning over parts of your story that are no longer talked about or brought up because the people in those memories have taken different paths.

It’s really sad and such a strange feeling to experience.

Anyway. If you’re struggling with this, and thought you were alone … I’m here to say you’re not. It’s real and it sucks.

I think about this often -- the person I was, who I am now, the people I had then -- what they meant and still mean. The reasons we lost contact and if that would have changed if things had been different.

After using @Tutanota for a little while, definitely recommend. If you're privacy conscious, it's the best hosted email/cal service. #PrivacyMatters
