From now on, translate.mapcomplete.org supports logging in with #OpenStreetMap (with the source code repository as intermediate step).

This means one less account to manage!

Thanks to all the translators for providing translations. And of course, feel free to join the #translation effort to get #MapComplete into your language.

I'm sorry to say this but ally has been a thoroughly disappointing experience for me. Nowhere does it feel like a polished product. They released a new shortcuts feature the other day except... it doesn't work? It's supposed to launch into an ally conversation with it automatically answering whatever question you had, like describe this scene. So it takes the photo, spends a buch of time sending it to ally, and then the conversation launches and it just goes "hey" or whatever other fluffy greeting it decided was necessary at the time. I thought it might be because of my custom ally which tries to make it a lot more terse, so I tried every standard personality they ship, but nope. It just doesn't work with any of them.
They said you can adjust the speech rate in a previous update but I can't figure out how.
The image recognition is just bad. I have no clue how they do this, because Envision's describe scene is a lot better and also uses AI, including being able to ask about images. Do they scale it down to like a pixelated mess or something?
The app is slow. It is just ungodly slow.
Also can we talk about the captcha when signing up? I couldn't do the audio version no matter what network I was on. I had to get sighted help.
Also my favorite thing is when you ask it to describe something, it says let me take a look, then says I can't take any images even though it clearly just took an image, and then you can ask it to describe it and it's like oh you're totally right there's actually an image here and proceeds to describe it really badly.
What on earth happened here? Seriously what the hell actually happened here?
I could go on but I think you get the point. I have encountered so many annoying things while using this stupid AI that I'm honestly a little baffled that nobody at Envision is noticing this. It is possible to do so much better. I just don't understand!

ожидалось что на сплине будут одни старперы вроде нас с женой, однако было очень много молодежи вплоть до подростков без родителей.

что как бы неплохо для группы, начавшей карьеру в 90-х.

I'm still miffed the ADA URL parser people keep their biased and misleading performance comparison against curl on their front page.

ada-url.com/

Their parser is not 10 times faster than curl and yet their main graph makes it look like that.

They don't seem to show the version of curl, at least I couldn't see it on that page.

But this brings up a more general point that I've thought about before: ideally benchmarks between implementations should be done by independent parties, or at least peer-reviewed by all parties, but that's quite rare. I've been wanting to have something like that for my backup implementation work, from time to time.

@Di4na This may be slightly off-topic, or maybe not, but Inno Setup (a fairly popular installer creator for Windows) recently added an option to purchase a license for commercial use (after using zlib-like license for over 25 years), though this was much simpler for them, as there are only two main developers and very few external contributors.

Čtvrtek večer, takže jsem dorazil Tajemství všech tajemství a jdu to zalomit, abych přežil další 4 dny na cestách.
Pokud chcete znát můj názor, knížka byla prima, dobře se četla, klasicky u Browna hromada zvratů z očekávaného.
Po faktické stránce, co můžu soudit, by se tam našla hromada zakopnutí, ALE - tohle je beletrie, ne literatura faktu.
Takže za mě tak 8/10.

#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A teen (14?) has just lifted her friend into her arms and is twirling her around.
Her friend's head is thrown back in laughter that rings up and down the street, her long hair flying.
Totally caught up in a fleeting moment.
This is happiness.

A woman (60s?) pulls over at the side of a quiet street and calls to a friend who's walking, "Want a ride up town? I'm goin' that way."
Her friend replies: "No thanks! I love looking at the gardens. They're bloody stunning this time of year!"

A woman (40s?) says to a friend: "I never know what's going on, but Mum does. She's like the local newspaper, radio station and Facebook all in one! Whenever I want to know something, I just ask her."
Her friend laughs: "Can I borrow her? All mine does is tell me she hates my curtains."

A teen (13?) approaches a neighbour while cradling a huge ginger cat.
Teen asks: "This cat yours? He keeps coming into our house and stealing our food. We don't mind. I like him. But he could probably go on a diet eh."
Fat Cat gives them "I've eaten all the breakfasts" love eyes.

A young human (8?) is sitting cross legged in the middle of her front lawn with a big white rabbit sitting on her lap. She's picking flowers, offering them to Big Bun who seems to approve.
A bumble bee buzzing nearby, unbothered by Big Bun and his plus one.

Tohle byste si také měli přečíst, proto to odemykám 🔑 — HN — Ruské útočné drony? Starejte se o cenu rohlíků! České volby se stávají variací na scénu z Čapkovy Války s mloky (Petr Honzejk).

Takže běžte k volbám a volte kohokoliv smysluplného — kromě obou koalic Jednotného Ruska (té komunistické i fašistické).

Ruské útočné drony? Starejte se o cenu rohlíků! České volby se stávají variací na scénu z Čapkovy Války s mloky

Ve slavné závěrečné scéně z Čapkova románu Válka s mloky se pan Povondra doptává syna na břehu Vltavy, jestli je něco nového. „Ani ne, jen v novinách píší, že mloci jsou už u Drážďan,“ odpovídá syn.

Chuck Schumer says we should mourn Kirk's death.
Ezra Klein says Kirk did everything the right way.
Gavin Newsom "admired his passion and commitment to debate."

The Overton Window is continuing to shift because Democrats are actively assisting MAGA in shoving it further to the right in a sickening display of fascist bipartisanship.

I don't know who the author is or how bad that is or why, but assuming it's about their personal views, I wish more people realized about all the thousands of people building Windows and OSX and so on, which we know nothing about but surely there are many baddies. All to say, I try to have a thicker skin in the open source world, while still advocating for us all to be better. We're under a bigger microscope and are held to a higher standard. It's hard to compete with secrecy.

A post by @JamesBazan reminded me of one of my absolute favorite and the most profound quotations from a book. In fact, this book has many others. I'll let you discover others on your own. Here are a few.

“Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. … Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.”

Lois McMaster Bujold, "A Civil Campaign"

Les lecteurs d’écran restituent-ils par défaut les textes en gras et en italique ?

Selon les tests menés par @juliemoynat, la réponse est non. C'est le style CSS qui est restitué et non la présence d'une balise (strong, em, b ou i).

Un paramétrage spécifique et complexe du lecteur d'écran est possible, mais la restitution peut être lourde.

Les lecteurs d'écran comme NVDA peuvent être configurés pour signaler des attributs de texte comme le gras ou l'italique. Cette fonction se trouve dans les paramètres de formatage des documents de NVDA (appuyez sur NVDA+Ctrl+D). Comme vous le dites, ce n'est pas la valeur par défaut. Il est important que tout ce qui est transmis par le formatage soit également transmis par le texte. Voir WCAG 1.3.1 : w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understandin… et w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/g…

NV Access

Here is the English, just in case Google messed up the translation to French: Screen readers like NVDA CAN be set to report text attributes like bold or italic. This is in NVDA's Document formatting settings (press NVDA+control+d). As you say though, this is not the default. It is important that anything conveyed by formatting is also conveyed in text. See WCAG 1.3.1: w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understandin… and w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/g…

Hey musician mutuals and beyond, I think we need a community hashtag for our releases. I don't wanna miss the music you're sharing with us! I've tried to use lists for this, but we all post about more than just our releases, so those get buried.

So I propose we come up with a catchy hashtag for sharing released music. I like that we have #bonkwave, #gearsquad, #MusicProduction, but I sure could use something just for releases. Any ideas?

Edit: please contribute to our brainstorming! :)
