Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves
I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

The "New Outlook" demands that when adding your #Gmail account, you also give Microsoft a copy of all your Gmail email, contacts, and calendar data.
The "Learn More" link confirms:
"Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers."

A question to the #Tech bubble: I would like to use #Thunderbird with a bunch of shared calendars over Caldav. I had this issue two years ago and now here it comes again: Thunderbird becomes very slow as soon as all these calendars are added. They contain plenty of events each, many of them are reoccuring and I have tried both with and without offline support and also disabling autorefresh on some of those. I recall that back when I had the issue last, switching the view to show just one calendar at a time would help but to no avail now. Is this something I have to live with in 2023? ###Mozilla #OpenSource

Not sure if this site is well known outside the niche community of researchers of late Russian Empire klezmer. It gives free access to streaming versions of the Ukrainian National Library's reissue CDs of wax cylinders of #klezmer, #Yiddish song, #nigunim, etc. from the 1910s through the 1930s. Most of these were recorded on folklore collecting expeditions in the Pale of Settlement or later in Soviet Ukraine and Belarus. Some very scratchy, fascinating stuff.

This is great! I use Libreoffice for much of my work, though there are some aspects that make it difficult for visual accessibility reasons.
The first issue: the flip point where text becomes white or black based on the cell color in the spreadsheet is incorrect, as a result, a lot of mid range cell colors end up with text that's not readable (unless the text color is overridden).
Another: the highlight color for certain buttons in the UI when the system is in dark mode makes the text unreadable on the button.
I'm at your disposal if you have any questions about any visual accessibility issues.
@Myndex Thanks, Myndex! Please report any issues you see to the bug tracker at bugs.documentfoundation.org, and then Michael (and others) can look into them 👍

Hey sighted gamers, I'm gonna try to get you to step out of your comfort zone a bit. Yes, believe it or not, despite the game I'm about to promote, this post is not for the blind gamers out there... unless you somehow haven't played it before. Anyway, here goes. While writing my book, I've been tempted to play some games again, and one of them is a game called alt-frequencies. It's a game where the entire story is told in the form of radio broadcasts which you can influence by recording clips from one station and sending them to another. The game is mostly linear, however you can affect the story by sending different clips to different stations, and yes, there are multiple endings. It has minimal graphics, but this game is all about the audio. Sighted gamers, step out of your comfort zone. Try it. It's available on PC, Switch, and mobile, and it's very high-quality. If you want more recommendations, I've got those too. Thanks for reading!

Aah yes, @ednun_p told me about this game. I'm wondering whether my incredibly ancient 2012 PC would be able to run this one. Sounds interesting.

If anybody cares, the city of Poznań, Poland, has published all their public transit announcements, about 2700 of them, for everybody to Download and enjoy. Cc @Piciok ztm.poznan.pl/pl/dla-deweloper…
reshared this
Great! Now somebody could theoretically build those into a transit schedule app to recreate the announcements system inside our pockets for vehicles where this is missing. I believe Poznań updates their info in real time, actual real time, not every 30 seconds like some cities do so this would actually make sense.
You could always use something like this to track the transit you're waiting for more easily. Would be fun to see how well the message in the app and the vehicle actually arriving would synchronize.
Something like this would have been far more useful here in Wrocław, but our APIs are basically nonexistent. You can get GTFS schedules easily, but that’s about it. Realtime data is available in theory, but it breaks pretty often. If you want to get reliable realtime data or electronic access to the interactive schedule boards that you can find at many bus stops, you essentially have to reverse-engineer the official Android app and connect to the API with its username and password. Of course, none of the boards talk. Buses with no PA system at all, a PA system so quiet that you can barely hear it or a PA system that announces the line but not the stop are also pretty common, especially on some lines.
Yes, I've experienced that. Also, the announcement about the line number and direction being played inside the vehicle only or as soon as it leaves the station. Pretty wild!
Yup. Our vehicles seem to be using the same speaker for the next stop / current stop announcements as for the line/direction announcements. If the line announcement plays with the doors closed, you can barely hear it.
