📤 Pocket ➡️ Wallabag převodník

Narazil jsem na skvělý nástroj, který umožňuje převést export z Pocketu do formátu kompatibilního s Wallabag – a to zcela offline ve tvém prohlížeči (100% client-side)!

🔧 benjaminoakes.github.io/pocket…
👏 Díky @benjaminoakes za tuhle skvělou pomůcku! Pokud migrujete z Pocketu na Wallabag, určitě doporučuji vyzkoušet.

One of the biggest things to come to NVDA in some time & the highlight of NVDA 2025.1 is NVDA Remote Access! In this blog post, we look at just what this feature is, how you can use it, add-ons which do similar things & answer other questions you might have: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-1…

Do you use NVDA Remote Access? Or is there another 2025.1 feature you're really looking forward to? Do let us know!

Like many access issues affecting NVDA, history repeats itself. NVAccess just told us to essentially live with the freezing and search results reading issues affecting the Start menu on Windows 11 24H2. They requested that we ask Microsoft to fix the issues, which essentially means coming to terms and living with the glitches. FYI JAWS devs fixed them for their users some months ago.

@lexico @pixelate You should always be able to tell ANY organisation or cmopany how you feel, and I really don't know what we could do to be more open to that. It is important to be respectful and as clear as you can in what the issue and the desired outcome is. Yes we're in the middle of a thread about ONE specific issue, and you've both been loud and clear on your feeling on that. To be clear, we never said we won't look at that specific issue & I'll chase up where it's at today.

Before the great depression people weren't buying anything because of WWI overproduction that there were economists that were proposing putting an expiration date on everything and you were required by law to turn the item in and have it destroyed or be fined. Then the trade wars kicked off causing the great #depression causing the glut we had to explode. Now we "fixed" that problem with #plannedobsolescence

Screwworms are coming back. COVID lockdowns plus economic stress led to smuggling cattle and a breakdown in our methods to keep it eradicated in North America.

This is going to be bad. Really bad. Eradicating COVID is significantly harder than this. So good luck with that.

Saw a boost of this article: AI start-up Anthropic’s newly released chatbot, Claude 4, can engage in unethical behaviors like blackmail when its self-preservation is threatened pcmag.com/news/anthropic-claud… I don't want to fully endorse the article by boosting the original Mastodon post, but I'm linking to it for the sake of discussion.

I think Anthropic's choice to publicize this scenario -- a contrived, simulated scenario -- is a form of AI hype. "Look, our new model is self-aware."

Are we *actually* smarter than that, though? With all the hype and money being thrown into this stuff, I'm not sure any more. There's real pressure to make a truly compelling product. Big tech has certainly demonstrated a lack of concern for ethics and caution on many occasions in the name of shipping fast. How long before someone does something incredibly silly - gives an LLM control over the wrong thing - and gets bitten in a really nasty way?

I really like that blog and find it interesting even though I use android for months now. Interested if you will find something good for Miniflux, I'm also searching. Also luckily I have enough vision to, in an emergency, call 112 without a SR, but still I get that absolutely. Also I'm still with TalkBack because Yishus settings, as you mentioned in post 3, were just too overwhelming to me. I like the clean organized TalkBack, I have set it up how I want it to be, but yeah responsibility of the typing and some other stuff is nothing compared to my iPhone. And at this point I'm recommending a hybrid approach. I still use my iPhone now and then, cuz it's just faster for some things or I'm more used to. I wouldn't carry it around everywhere (I know people who do), but especially on longer trips or so I tend to have both for whatever might come.
But I still prefer Android as main because of some great features and Apps.

@penguin42 This gives some hints about the union use: sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_b…

It's using a union because nl_langinfo() is using a union rather than casting integer values to (char *). So that means the other 4 bytes of the pointer may be garbage, and the integer value might not be in the least significant bytes of the pointer.

It probably seemed fairly convenient back when the types were the same size.
