@craignewmark Hopefully you are already looped in with Em ^ but if not, she does some very interesting work around privacy, tech, and journalism that is up your alley...

May be worth chatting with and/or sync'ing her up with one of the orgs you collab with

@Tamasg Yeah, either way I like it and when it officially comes out I will most likely pay for it because I like the Readspeaker voices. @menelion @luiscarlosgonzalez @FreakyFwoof @pitermach

@christianselig Yeah. That they went to pogo sticks in the new 4 type was shite. Glad I have the one before that. Rather use a flash light to read than not having usb-c to charge

@joyce We'd prefer you not to move either because we really like having you around.

@imaginaryuncle And I mention planning specifically because that's what most of the companies suggest in marketing - planning and feedback.

Both remove the human from the most important parts of teaching.

@catsalad

perfect!

reality is vastly over-rated and under-performing.

@thomasfuchs Get a hosted Nextcloud, if you don't want to self-host.

Perhaps you need to script your backup yourself, but if you're lucky, there already is a plug-in available. Everything else should work out of the box.

I host my own Nextcloud and I love it! 🙂

Playing around with an idea: responsive code.

The build script creates up to 5 versions of each code sample, and a container query displays the right one.

Brotli means the filesize overhead is very small.

@siracusa Got this email as well. How will they make commercial skip a premium experience?

Haven't used Tivo in over a year after switching from Fios to YouTubeTV. Still miss Tivo, the YTTV DVR is so bad at navigating and playback. Just jumping ahead is so many clicks because they use the terrible YouTube interface instead of Apple’s.

@farah Agreed. I love it.

Hello @aura! When trains are delayed or cancelled, your EU passenger rights kick in! 💪
You can learn more about your rights in each case here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/rail/index_en.htm

@EUCommission @The_Universality this says it was still up for approval from Parliament back in May. Has it been approved?

@menelion well, the Orbit Research page is what made me get V1, can't wait for this V2, good times. The bigger question is how the Russian NVDA store was able to index that prematurely, I saw it there last week already. Of course that store indexes add-ons the normal one never would, but clearly someone submitted it there or they themselves found it. @luiscarlosgonzalez @FreakyFwoof @alexchapman @pitermach

@silverspookgames and thank you for making your game natively work on Linux!

@afewbugs Thanks! Saving this thread to stock up on filtration options after my upcoming house move.

I've always kept a couple of the big 5-litre bottles of supermarket water in my flat. Presumably fine for quite a long time if unopened? Expensive compared to jerry cans if you're using a lot, I guess, but probably cheaper as a one-off, and perhaps longer-lasting?

uBlock Origin (the ad blocker) does a really good job at blocking ClickFix attacks (where user is encouraged to paste commands into Run box). They added support in July and have been refining rules.

@nazgul I know the article is sponsored. I don't care. The point is that it's pointing out that the passkeys ecosystem is not the sunshine and roses world the promoters of passkeys claim. I've already had to deal with many ordinary people who accepted passkey prompts and got locked out as a result! Horrific! Some sites push these in very deceptive ways, like making it look like a passkey was already created when actually it hasn't been and the option to avoid this is tiny and deceptively worded. People with single devices to access the Net are particularly at risk. Some implementations, like Google's terrible one, give any device compromise total access to all your accounts controlled by passkeys, since there's no additional authentication layers. I've discussed this directly with the relevant people at G. Their view, as I interpret it, is that if some users get screwed by this it just doesn't matter. Unfortunately, that's always been the case with Google's account methodologies, particularly account recovery.

I have a question, is there any app for windows that lets you make alarms and have custom sounds for them? just curious,
