Set up this little page on my website last night as a place to host all the useful little Windows utilities I've made, although it doesn't yet have every single one of them. It currently has Micstate, Taskmon, and uphide, with more to be added. quin.fyi/win/

@esvrld LLMs are trained to be the most common denominator of redditor so it makes sense. My pal was complaining about a predictable failure of an "ai support bot" and it made sense when I framed it as "imagine you put every bullshit reddit post into your keyboard prediction thing and got it to try to solve a task."

I feel like the woker with how I already know (and have hands on experience) all the accessibility stuff we're being taught in this workshop. 🤪

@mariusor huh! For some reason I thought it was in Rust. What's the JS used for in this case? some sort of front end?

Decompiled, cloned, and modified software is going viral and might slopify everything.

@mariusor That's awesome. do you have a go based JS bundler too? Or are you using raw imports somehow?

Day one of doing so: I'm eepy.

Not allowing myself energy drinks either.

This Google Cloud outage in Europe is huge. Almost every service offline, including Google SecOps (Chronicle), for almost 4 hours now.

@mariusor Neat. What was your reason for making it? :o

re: my local llm tool 

@tahnok It's like searching on duckduckgo directly, not amazing but it gets the job done. I like the consistency with how I do search myself so I can get the LLM to behave more like I would.

my local llm tool 

Finally got a working search tool for my local LLM harness! SearXNG was kind of a pain in the ass to work with. :P Eventually I'll figure out getting an access token for marginalia search.

Found this neat CLI for duckduckgo search. Currently figuring out how it works so I can add it to some other tools. seems they don't auto-flag nodejs and python scripts as bots but do for curl/wget.

Proud of myself for saying "No thank you" instead of "I'd rather die" when asked to give my personal info for some points thing at the store

@modulux @WeirdWriter It's one of those interesting blind vs non-blind computer users things.
Having more stuff on screen makes sense to a degree: it means you don't have to menu dive as much to find features that may otherwise go undiscovered, you see it, you click it, you move on with your life.
Tricky bit for keyboard users and screen reader users is that we can't spatially access a screen like that, we either do it serially or have to use hotkeys and ignore the UI. So these two approaches are always at odds:

Either, you put as little as possible on the screen making it difficult to find anything on said screen and necessitating users to learn a bunch of menus or hotkeys, but making it easy to tab through it,
Or, you put as much as possible on the screen, everything you could ever want is now there, but tabbing takes forever so you're far less efficient.
Finding a balance everyody likes can be wickedly hard which is why it should be configurable

The real solution is to force myself to get up before dawn like a normal person. 😭

With the daytime shrinking so much, maybe I can convince my job to let me work 5PM to 1AM instead of my usual 9 to 5 so I can get more sunlight time in.

Thanks W3C! I can't find info about how to unsub from your mailing lists thanks to cloudflare putting me in a "prove you're human" loop. 🙃

Vibe coding a code editor is counter to your goals because you're less likely to actually use its features and will end up leaving a bunch of obvious bugs. Great example: the `fresh` editor's LSP features are riddled with off by one errors that the dev would have seen if they actually used it to code.

@lvk Is tour nix flake published? I'm thinking of getting an XReal One Pro so I can have the spatial tracking on headset without any special software. I think one oversized monitor with 3DoF will suffice for what I need tbh. The XReal Aura has 70 FOV so I've considered waiting for it instead. 🤔 Getting monado to work was a major PITA on Arch linux so I kinda gave up. :P But I don't think I need xrdesktop and the such either?

Regarding remote scams, seriously:

If someone wants something over the phone or the Internet:

If you don't know them, just refuse without engaging.
If it seems that you know them, get back to them yourself, preferably in another way (over a different channel).

For e-mail, the first point means:
do not open anything from the message and do not reply.

Keep in mind that:
voice is easy enough to fake convincingly;
a phone number (caller ID) is also easy enough to fake for incoming calls;
any advertisement may be fake and it is easy enough to make it seem good.
_________
I believe each such tactic must be as simple as possible to have a hope of being useful.
