My cab driver to my last appointment was named Surinder. I considered asking him if Mommy’s alright? Daddy‘s alright? But I thought I might seem a little weird.

Krásné páteční #dobréRáno, přátelé #fediverse Dnešek mám trochu nabitý — v půl deváté přezutí jednoho auta, v půl desáté druhého 😅 Pak konečně k optikovi pro nové brýle (už i na dálku 👓), rychle k doktorce a odpoledne posilovna 💪

mine wasn't a total crapbox of a day, in fact the week preceeding was the thursday week of Thursday wo, what the fuck's, but ya know? life unfortunately goes on.
I know people are nostalgic about film, but using a bunch of chemicals and letting some rando in some shop see all your photos is objectively worse.
Now if only people would have proper privacy on their digital devices!
In other news, it's super fascinating how film is actually made!
Lastly, I have a Pentax Spotmatic camera with four lenses, case, all the extras available for sale to a good home. One lens is even the desirable japanese radioactive one!
An anonymous reader shares a report: Kodak quietly acknowledged this week that it will begin selling two famous types of film stock -- Kodak Gold 200 and Kodak Ultramax 400 -- directly to retailers and distributors in the U.S.

For sale to a good home. Pickup in Montreal, Canada only. #pentax #spotmatic
Has all these fancy lenses including the super rare radioactive one. Has the 135mm zoom and so on.
@hub It's all packed back away under a ton of boxes right now, so not going to dig today. It's in perfect condition IIRC, it has always been in that leather case (which can be removed of course). What are you trying to see??
I’ve always had a problem with the idea of paying a monthly subscription to access some aspect of hardware that I have purchased. This is why I do not use certain daws or plugins no matter what they seem to offer. If I spend money and time in an initial investment with no support necessary in order to use the software, then all is well. To be clear, I’m not discouraging anyone from attempting to make passive income from their efforts. (1/2)
I actually think it’s a very brilliant thing to try to do… However, I’m not really sure that doing so through a piece of software would be the best way. (2/2)
Tomorrow night join @Liz, from 6 P.M. eastern (US time), for Mellow Vibes. It’s two hours of Acoustic, mellow, and unplugged music. So tune in tomorrow night, and start the weekend relaxed. HKCRadio.com

If you are not yet convinced that Fedora Flatpaks is a hostile 'alternative' to Flathub, here's a good one for you:
An indeterminate amount of their packages are, in fact, directly based on existing manifests from Flathub. Not by manually inspecting code themselves; rather, by running a script which goes through Flathub's APIs and parses the respective apps' manifest to generate manifests for Fedora Flatpaks: pagure.io/flatpak-module-tools…
Food banker here with an IMPORTANT MESSAGE: You listening? PLEASE DO NOT use your money to buy cheap food for the food banks or pantries. Just give them that money. I'm 100% serious. Food banks, especially the really organized ones, can get WAY more for the dollar than any individual can, unless you're literally ordering by the truckload from a manufacturer like we are. Feeding America has a whole purchasing network with negotiated prices that make this system work. Also, every time you buy and donate random food items, it creates work for the food bank/pantry. We need to inspect it for safety, sort it into categories, and then work it into inventory. If you donate money, we use it to buy much more food, and we intentionally purchase based on what kind of item is needed. It can also be used to put fuel in the trucks that gets the food to its ultimate destination. We absolutely do appreciate every donation, and we use items donated from food drives and individuals every day. But look at it this way: You can buy a 5-lb sack of potatoes for $3.00, for example. I can get them for 50 cents per sack because my organization has negotiated the price with the distributor and ordered 10 pallets of them. We need every kind of support we can get right now, but PLEASE let us do the smart shopping
It just seems like the whole point is to show off how disfunctional everything is and I hope to god that that backfires, not just against the current adminis...
I sometimes here liberal apologists and defenders of wealth inequality point out that the rich live just like the rest of us, there's no big distinction in the bundles of goods we have access to. We eat the same things, use the same computers, sleep in the same beds.
Setting aside for a moment whether this is true (I personally don't have a private plane or a yacht) granting the hypothesis opens up a question:
So if wealth doesn't actually get you anything substantially better, how is it an incentive?
Because, those same liberal apologists keep telling us without the enormous incentives to the rich, they would not contribute their prodigious amoutns of value to our economies.
But they just told us they don't get anything meanignful back from it.
So what's going on?
This argument is self-defeating. Either wealth gives rich people something substantial (and therefore wealth inequality means most go without whatever that is, and therefore must be removed), or wealth does not give anything substantial and is not an adequate incentive, so it may as well be removed.
The more I use iOS 26, the more I think voiceover is essentially broken and cannot be repaired. Focus is utterly atrocious. Multiple times, I close an app, or open another app, only for voiceover to continue to read the previous app as if it were still up on the screen, the keyboard has a significant delay that I can’t get rid of. No matter how much animations and or haptics I disable. Every time I want to use the space bar, upon engaging the keyboard, there is a significant delay. Everything just has a colossal delay attached to it now and I really think this is the cause of their new glass view or whatever the hell the corporation is calling it. It seems to slow down apps also. Even though it is supposed to be smooth and otherwise, there are many instances where the apps just feel clunky and or broken in multiple ways. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but for example, search edit boxes/feilds in apps like the podcast app just feel as if they are struggling to function. I constantly feel as if I am using my own phone wrong, which feels utterly ridiculous because I am an expert user. This is honestly why I’ve reverted back to using a computer more and more nowadays. I don’t do anything complicated on the phone. My phone has basically transformed into a portable audiobook player and podcast player because browsing on the web on the mobile phone is a level of hell I will never willingly participate in again unless I absolutely have to do so. Everything feels that badly designed. #Apple #IOS
That's itneresting. Honestly that's always how I felt about iOS, but I realise that other people manage to use it for complicated things, so it must be me. It's a pity that even for people who found iOS usable, it's stopping to be so.

Passports didn’t list sex until the 1970s when governments around the world stated freaking out about men with long hair and unisex clothes. Now we pretend like this was some always set, eminently important thing that must carry value. We only got it as enforcement of binary gender.
@NVAccess Hi, do you have an idea why MBrola support isn't available on NVDA's built-in ESpeak-ng? The MBrola voices, such as mb-br1, are missing. I discovered this fact when I went to investigate why MBrola support is missing on the ArchLinux package for ESpeak as well, the reason I haven't found yet.
Good question - we do have a request to add this: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issue… and it looks like there was an add-on created, called, logically: "Espeak with Mbrola included" - This is available in the add-on store but has not been updated since last year. It is currently listed as not compatible but it may still work if you override that check - I haven't looked (but of course, do be careful if you do override that check and keep an eye out for any issues).
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes. In previous versions before Espeak-ng it was possible to copy the Mbrola files to Espeak and use the voices. Describe the solutio...
Maybe the real reason Big Tech turned on us is that their original plan was to monetize our search history by advertising things we were looking for, but we were all looking for things nobody wants to sell, like "better working conditions" and "social justice" and "affordable housing."
That figures. I get my PC back from the shop just now, and while setting things back up, my webcam's USB C cable separates. I unplugged it, not roughly either, and the cable with bare wires just pulls straight out of the connector. Only a month old too! (Elgato Facecam Neo). Ordered a replacement. This fucks up work for awhile.
@BorrisInABox hahahahahaha! Why yes, yes it is. I didn't even think of that. Although lately, my bad luck has not been happening on Thursdays. I really want next week to be stable and predictable.
