Did you know that heat pumps are good for your health?
Replacing oil and gas boilers eliminates in-home fossil-fuel combustion that vents pollutants like ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide into the outside air.

#OpenStreetMap is back on its feet.
Making edits with MapComplete is thus possible again as well.
We have a new version out too (but it got a bit overshadowed).
Some highlights:
- There is an insect-hotel theme (mapcomplete.org/insects.html) (thanks @RLin )
- The cyclofix, climbing, blind maps got some improvements (thanks to @midgard amongst others)
- Etymology-map will now also show parks without etymology, in order to be able to link them
- and a lot of bug fixes

In 1976, Congress set fire to the country's libraries; in 1998, they did it again. Today, in 2024, the flames have died down, and out of the ashes a new public domain is growing. Happy Public Domain Day 2025 to all who celebrate!

Podíl lidí, kteří byli opilí v posledních 30 dnech.

A nejde jen o napití se alkoholu za poslední měsíc, kde je průměr za ČR téměř 50 %. Ale skutečně o opilost.

This SBB Giruno, built by Stadler… well I have mixed views
It’s a low floor high speed train, but all except 2 doors have steps still at Swiss platforms. The ramps inside over the wheels result in many odd spots and corners. Door vestibules are very cramped
It’s like the ICNG I took in Netherlands on Sunday - turning a regional train design into an InterCity results in some strange design aspects

in reply to Tamas G • • •The Brailab DLL is not from Brailab CD, it's from the original hardware, just partially rewritten to compile and run on Windows. When I was working on translating NVDA and of course exposing Hungarian blind people to it, we made an agreement through a Hungarian organisation with the original developer to make it available for Hungarian NVDA users. We also needed some extra functionality for indexing, as well as playing wav files, which would have replaced the synth's spelling feature.
Implementing this was not quite feasible, but they did give us the source code, should we wish to do this ourselves. About a year later, Vocaliser became available and due to its more natural speech, Brailab was mostly forgotten. Some people who grew up using the hardware or later the CD variant still use the addon today. They have also developed an overlay for Android which uses Brailab as its synth.
I am legally bound by this agreement, so I am unfortunately unable to disclose the source code, sorry.

in reply to Tamas G • • •Ah, Multivox was the first Hungarian synth that everyone used with Jaws before it was translated, there was no eSpeak, only Brailab, WinTalker Voice and Multivox. Then Profivox came, which was licensed exclusively for Jaws, and the underrated SpeakBoard hich was sold even in supermarkets on CD, then Vocalizer, which is everywhere now.
It has loads of issues, Nuance clearly did not test it, nor listened when lots or developers (including myself) complained. They have added horrible pronunciation rules that cause common words to be mispronounced and there's only a partial fix. But I digress.

Unknown parent • • •There was no manual that I know of, we just got a zip file with the source dump and a few lines on how to compile it. It had 7 various parameters to my knowledge: rate, volume, pitch, emphasis, spelling, weird mode (this just modified formants I believe), and another one I am unable to recall at the moment. Most of these were implemented in the NVDA addon, the useful ones anyway.
I might be able to find the source, so please let me know if you need me to look up anything.
