I dunno what it is, but something about Dreamy Train makes it the perfect #cozy#audiogame. I wish it had an #English dub or official English translation from #Japanese, though Google Translate works fine. Yes, it's simple (you can play the entire thing with three buttons), but...I dunno. Something about driving my train through a continent obviously based on Japan with a vaguely Cute Japanese woman giving me instructions in a language I don't speak is really Zen. Transport World Simulator and Tube Sim just stress me out. But Dreamy Train has just enough to keep my attention, without getting my adrenaline up, and enough content not to feel too repetitive or grindy. mm-galabo.com/dreamytrain/#a11y
Data without logs sure leaves us open for speculations. I took a quick look at what the curl.se website traffic situation looks like right now. Just as curiosity.
So, @micahflee has a great piece about how authors should leave Substack because it is "brologarchy garbage" and more expensive than alternative Ghost.
And, got to wondering if authors knew how many potential subscribers they were losing by publishing on the much hated platform.
Here are the results of yesterday's poll on the subject. 81% of 472 people said they would never subscribe to someone's #Substack even if they really wanted to subscribe to their newsletter.
For #marchintosh and #globaltalk , I am running a RealAudio and RealVideo server. If you wanna remember and experience what streaming in the 90s was like, head on over to 68kradio.ddns.net ! The site has been tested on MacWeb 2.0 and NetScape 2.0, and yes, you can listen on a 68k Mac! A PowerPC is recommended for the best experience.
There was a tense exchange at a White House event Friday between President Donald Trump and Maine Democratic Gov. Janet Mills over his executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports.
"You'll never win another race." This should be alarming, democrats really need to stand up and actually do something. It's getting to a point now where he's not afraid to make threats, this needs to be shut down immediately.
A feature of the Apple ecosystem I don't think I could give up is universal clipboard. I frequently need to copy an image from my computer to my ipad for notes or a bit of text from my phone to my computer. It just works and it solves a real problem with using multiple devices these days. support.apple.com/en-lamr/1024…
With Universal Clipboard, you can copy content such as text, images, photos, and videos on one Apple device, then paste the content on another Apple device.
@ZBennoui Lucky you! I yet have to see it working when I need it too. Gave up on those "universal" features quite a while ago. Airdrop is probably the only thing that works reliably for me. Hand-off would be cool but it's more frequently an obstacle than help. I may just be an unlucky one!
Their phony “statistics” aren’t just an attempt to justify DOGE’s destruction of the government. Trump and Musk’s goal is even more duplicitous and shady.
x64 editions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 don't have native audio in VMWare; you need a special driver for it. A 2006 forum thread linked to a drivers and tools page on the VMWare site which, of corse, doesn't work anymore since Customer Connect and the move to Broadcom. So I checked the wayback machine, and not only was the drivers and tools page up there, I was also able to download the audio driver and slipstream it into my Windows XP x64 ISO using NLite! Archives are precious things, people! Cherish them with all your heart; they might just disappear in an instant.
I was pleased to sit down with Pam MacNeill of the Disability Disruptor’s Podcast for a New Zealand exit interview of sorts, discussing the serious problems that plague disability services, leadership and activism in New Zealand. It was also a delight as always to discuss these issues with @graemeinnes, a fearless and tireless leader who continues to do impactful work, including with the United Blind Leaders group in Australia. The issues we cover, including the necessity for blind people to control our own destinies and lead the agencies that provide services to us, are of vital importance. castro.fm/episode/uml6GE

Hey this is random, but I know you might have something to do with the NFB. What happened to their online store they used to have before 2020? I did order a folding cane from them once, but now apparently the only way to get a good carbon fiber cane from them is to call or email and hope for a reply. This is a far cry from the actual online shoppable marketplace they had in 2019, I'd expect them to take less than 6 years to put a new online market up. If I was the web master, I'd not have gotten rid of the old one. nfb.org/programs-services/inde…

The fact that github even gives forks a main branch with the same UI affordances as the upstream by default seems like a design mistake but as long as they keep doing that, you should know that you should avoid using it. hynek.me/articles/pull-request…

@Bubu I would not say that it's the norm here, it's just not my style. I have enough other hobbies. Normal meals here are cheap plus healthy, that's very different in many other countries. Also when moving to a different flat, not having to move around all kinds of cooking tools helps. :)
🚀 We finally released the very first version of the FOSS Public Alert Server. Version 0.1.0 includes the most essential features and is a good step toward the first stable release.
This surely won't make me seem like a crank.Further watching:@HGModernism on addiction to scrolling and the Skinner box mechanism:https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Imagine that you book an international train. You expect crowds so you book 1st class and add seat reservation as well. They will assign you a seat number 22. You board the train and notice that the seat number 23 is already taken. Maybe that's why they don't do seat reservations at all. 😉 #ICNG #ECD

There's *no way* whoever wrote that one isn't fully aware of that fact, and the conclusions those people would draw. Ugh.
