@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialTrue story time, from about 8 years ago.
After work, I joined few co-workers for happy hour. I had 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks, then cut myself off and drank soda rest of the night, for many reasons including I wanted to be 100% sober to drive home.
One guy was rude, insisted I keep drinking, said I was ruining the fun.
Kids, be your own person. Be stubborn. Don't let someone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. No means no.

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.socialIs my profile hostile enough?
I mean am I saying:
"If you do x, I will mute you"
"If you do y, I will block you"
etc.?
I guess my most "hostile" thing in my profile is:
"Replyguys/Attackers vs Mastodon/Fediverse: What happened? Did the attack stop!?"
It was more hostile earlier, I said something like:
I won you loser Replyguys, I have a filter shield now!
I try to make it nicer and more neutral...…
@dankeck@a11y.socialI know #Pixelfed doesn't support muting hashtags on the server side.
Are there any clients that support muting in the client?
@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"My view of professional software engineering is one where I get to find out about people’s work and the problems they have, and try to solve them, and discussions are key to this project. If what I wanted to do were to have some uninterrupted time to discover how to shovel a Haskell into a BEAM on Kubernetes so I could scalable actor lambda, then yes, I could understand why understanding what the deliverables are would get in the way."
@SuneAuken@mastodon.worldEn lille tråd med danske forskere, der pt er aktive i fediverset. Jeg siger ikke så meget, sætter bare gode kolleger på én for én, så man kan finde dem og de måske hinanden.

@dankeck@a11y.socialWhen listening to an ebook with TalkBack, if I get a regular notification, the ebook resumes after the notification.
But if I get a charging notification, the reading does not resume. Sometimes when my phone is on the charger, it will announce the charging level at random times, and TalkBack just stops.
Does anyone have any experience with disabling charging notifications or getting the screen reader to resume automatically?
@tore@openbiblio.socialYears ago, I thought it was rather strange to store and provide an additional copy of a already published article. „Doppelt hält besser“ commented @… back then.
Well, he was right back then. But I still couldn't have imagined how important additional copies would become if data and publishers suddenly disappeared.
One more reason why

@dankeck@a11y.socialTwo years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"To make a long story short, at some point during early 1996 I bought a cheap 14.4 kilobit per second modem, taking 10 minutes in average to download a single megabyte.

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialI looked into buying a solar charged battery bank. This product category is completely dominated by no-name 3rd party sellers. 🚩
Charge time is key. No listing had even a rough estimate for solar charge time. 🚩
An example unit claims max solar power 1.13 w, with enough battery power to charge an iPhone 14 Pro twice. Working from that, you'd need ~25 hours of full sun to fully charge. I'd roughly estimate that means at least 3 days in summer. Not quite worthless, but close…

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialLooks like the USPS shut down the covidtests.gov at 8:00 PM EDT on 3/9/2025, per text on the website.
I'm feeling somewhat fortunate in that I got my order placed and received in the last couple weeks.
If they had too many tests stockpiled, better management and allowing people to order additional test kits seems like a better choice than destroying good tests.

@ELLIOTTCABLE@functional.cafeWow, what a weird rabbit-hole I just ended up down.
So, the “Spread Mastodon" page (tutorial?) recommends a cool-sounding browser extension as an alternative to all those constantly-dead 'fedifinder' / Twitter-person-looker-upper-tools: the ‘Whosum Social Assistant' browser extension.
Sounds cool! Sounds like the correct solution to this problem!
@dankeck@a11y.socialI'm not a font expert, but I like #GNOME replacing Cantarell with Adwaita Sans. Cantarell is more distinctive, but I find it distracting. It feels of a time, specifically the 2000s decade, along with Microsoft's Verdana and Tahoma. The new one seems more timeless and utilitarian.
@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"In this particular case, it is not uncommon for software developers to not only ignore, but even dismiss the required understanding of design language and primitives. At the same time, designers often lack the knowledge required to understand the various constraints imposed by software and hardware platforms."

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialCan the ai components (NPU) of new processors be used for non-ai work?
What I'm thinking is along the lines that the vector-processing components of GPUs have also been used to speed up non-graphic mathematics on large arrays.

@dankeck@a11y.socialFor 5 years now I've been learning about web accessibility and reviewing websites. But I'm not a native screen reader user, and my mobile app experience is lacking.
This month I learned about "Accessibility Actions" or "actions available" for VoiceOver and TalkBack. I shoulda known about it for years-- it makes navigation by swiping potentially much quicker.
Would you be willing to share your thoughts and experiences with this feature?
