  Hey blind browser modders, is there actually an accessible way of using Tampermonkey? Last time I checked the extension to load/install/whatever scripts was really annoying to use. Is there a better extension that does accessibility better? Its annoying to develop js scripts to improve website accessibility in an extension that itself isn't quite accessible.

  Yesterday we had an Internet outage for a moment, and I was able to experience my fallback mobile connection for the very first time. Well, it worked really well. Internet degraded for a moment when it initially failed, it took the router a few short seconds to fall back to the mobile connection, obviously all open connections got closed and had to be reopened, but the WebEx conference I was in recovered in 2 or 3 seconds and everything went on as expected. Wireguard fixed itself too.

  ReaLackey 0.3.0 is out, here are some highlights: Support for reasoning on anthropic (opt-in) and OLLama models that support it, lower prompt usage, particularly useful to free tier users at the cost of increasing the amount of turns necessary to start working, video clip support, listen to audio support for OLLama models that support it (opt-in), prompt presets, quick access to chat messages, Mac OS universal builds and notarization. Download it from here: https://github.com/Timtam/ReaLackey/re...

  Re letzter Boost (den ich nicht zitieren darf): Und sowas am Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Das BGH möchte mir sagen, da die Klinik privatisiert ist und einem Privaten nicht zugemutet werden kann, eine blinde Person zu betreuen, bekommt die Klägerin keine ReHa? Wäre die Klinik verstaatlicht aber schon? Darf ich das so verstehen? Ich glaube, ich lebe im falschen Film.

  In einer Stunde geht es in Richtung Sight City. Ich bin schon etwas aufgeregt ;). Am Freitag bin ich dort auch in einer Podiumsdiskussion zum Thema Bedeutung von KI im Gaming-Kontext zu sehen/hören, falls jemand Interesse und Zeit mitbringt.

  I just launched a batteries-included project of beets, the phenominal music manager for nerds. While beets is usually a highly sophisticated tool which needs to be installed into your Python environment via pip, in addition to setting up ffmpeg/gstreamer yourself, indie-beets delivers all of that in a unzip and launch kind of way. I'm planning to release new versions as beets updates too. Go here for easy access: https://github.com/Timtam/indie-beets @beets@beets@fosstodon.org

  New RABBIT version is out, with some more Mac fixes, but this time also a Windows on ARM fix. In addition to that, the updater should work more reliably from now on, providing you with the option to upgrade on RABBIT launch via a dedicated pop-up. Download links to every platform and architecture can be found on the project's page: https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/

  Ich arbeite gedanklich (und seit einigen Tagen auch tatsächlich) an einer... kann man es Geschäftsidee nennen, wenn es nicht auf Profit, sondern eher auf Gemeinnützigkeit ausgerichtet ist? Weil ich etwas derartiges nicht finden konnte, als ich es gebraucht hätte. Ich möchte einen Tontechnik-Verleih ermöglichen, der vollständig barrierefrei ist und ohne große Kautionen für Laien nutzbar ist. Das System soll sich selbst tragen, alle überschüssigen Einnahmen werden in neue Technik reinvestiert.

  New rabbit version guys: version 0.2.0 brings support for Surge XT installation/updating on standard installations, a more detailed progress view with per-package updates and support for fixing the keymap after updating OSARA so that ReaPack actions stay registered without having to synchronize / re-install everything. Enjoy! https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/releases/latest/

  Meet Rabbit, the REAPER Accessibility Bootstrap & Bundle Installation Tool, your one and only tool to keep REAPER and all its extensions up to date. Rabbit does make sure to update REAPER, OSARA, SWS, ReaPack, ReaKontrol, JAWS Scripts and FFMpeg on Windows and Mac, no matter if ARM or x64. It comes as a single executable that you can run and forget whenever you want. For nerds it also contains a CLI application that can be used to automate mass installations etc. https://github.com/Timta...

  Rabbit v0.1.1 is out, with basically just Mac OS fixes. Things like language detection for VoiceOver and the universal binary failure with SWS and ReaPack have been addressed, but also a new try on the open me first command for the app bundle. Give it a try. The update is also available within rabbit itself, I however noticed the workflow isn't quite straight forward, i'm working on it. https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/releases/latest/

  Das Wort "alldieweil" killt ChatGPT. Bei der Frage, ob er noch andere altertümliche Wörter analog zu "alsbald" kennt, hat er sich klassisch und ohne äußeres Einwirken in die "alldieweil"-Todesspirale getrieben. Made my day.

  Memo an mich selbst: niemals, niemals körperliche Beschwerden auf "morgen" verschieben, die Probleme kommen immer wieder, und sie werden größer. Ich will nächste Woche mal meinen inneren Schweinehund an Schlawittchen packen und endlich mal einen Termin ausmachen, ich brauche eindeutig Hilfe.

  RE: https://tweesecake.social/@app/116377278463848227 Oh no, my timeline was full of empty items, so I had to delete 300 Megabytes of database holding roughly 150K toots from the last few years, what am I going to do now... Well, it doesn't hurt me, but backwards compatibility isn't quite what I'd call this behaviour. Also, this is a quotation test.

  @nolan Just a friendly reminder that I'd still be interested to get bevy_tts, bevy_synthizer etc. up to the latest Bevy version at some point. I guess it got lost over Christmas and all.

  Hat hier jemand Erfahrung mit Dienstleistern für den Druck von Visitenkarten mit Braille-Aufdruck? Schwarzschrift und Braille wäre super. Mein Arbeitgeber bietet nur Schwarzschrift an und ich muss mir jetzt Visitenkarten beschaffen, hätte aber gern ein paar inklusivere. Gibt es da positive Erfahrungswerte?

  A thing that I just thought about whilst listening to the full cast version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: remember the scene in which Hermione confronts Professor Umbridge, stating that she disagrees with the oppinion of the author of the book they're reading? I cannot remember any lesson from my school time where I said something like "but I disagree with what we're reading here, because..." and breaking out into a fruitful discussion. That is s...

  Seems like my life will have to continue without any grand parents now. My youngest grandmother passed away over 20 years ago after a stroke in public transport, my oldest grandfather left us about 12:30 PM this day. And all of them went way to early. You'll all be missed deeply.

  Since this morning my WhatsApp desktop remains blank. As In, I get an empty about:blank webview when opening it. Amazing. Reinstallation doesn't fix. It just killed itself.

  I'm always kinda worried when fixing broken tech myself. I'm usually quite skilled with such things (apart from losing screws regularly by accident), but I'm afraid of breaking even more than what is already broken. I thus was quite reluctant to fix my Lewitt LCT 440 Pure which fell down once last year. It still works just fine, but moving it made something rattle inside the mic cage. I just opened it up myself and removed the tiny broken metal piece. Its almost as good a...

  Seit 2024 habe ich immer vermehrt mit Rückenproblemen zu kämpfen. Das war absehbar, ich sitze immerhin quasi den ganzen Tag seit meiner Jugend, und Sport mache ich seit meinem Abitur auch nicht mehr aktiv. Die Rückenprobleme äußern sich zumeist in konstanten Schmerzen unter den Rippen (Blockade der oberen Rückenwirbelsäule). Letztes Jahr hatte ich dazu 8 Anwendungen manuelle Therapie, die mich für über 6 Monate haben sorgenfrei leben lassen.
