I played a bit more with Numen (a cool voice control system, see numenvoice.org/). I can not only control my desktop, laptop, or linux mobile phone (#sxmo) with it, but also my house (lights, heating, media, etc) from all of these devices. Next I'll hook some mics to my raspberry pi's and control home automation from there.

All this on-device, no cloud connections, and definitely no "Hey Google", "Siri" or "Alexa"!

Fun fact about Microsoft #Windows: if you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is an OS hotkey that cannot be turned off.

I know this reads like a joke but it isn't.

Honestly, essay writing was a useful skill from school and I kinda wish I had practiced more as a kid.

I spent most of the time I've been trying to run a game company regretting the early decision to not use Unity for my project. But reading this, I'm really, really, *really* glad I don't have Unity anywhere in my stack

Things that stand out here:

- The pricing plan is baffling. It's like they designed it to make it impossible for you to make rational decisions about what you're getting into
- If they bait-switch you like this now, what will they do in ANOTHER 2 years?

I was featured in a news article about blind people using high speech rates over the weekend. I probably wouldn't have chosen the synth they chose for the "test your skills" video, but that's a minor nitpick. 9news.com.au/national/the-secr

@jalcine should I make sure distributed press works without it? Currently we do it to make the api calls look pretty ans that's about it. /v1/@username@domain.com/inbox instead of /v1/https%we%we%ver%verdomain.com%verusers%ver/11234

😅 also to make the blocklist format straightforward I guess?

@dirk Yeah hard agree. Exactly why I think there should be more tools for folks to be able to curate their social interactions.

If you haven't seen it before, you might like the trustnet article by cblgh. It's useful for surfacing stuff to give people subjective moderation relative to their personal preferences. cblgh.org/trustnet/

@jalcine nteresting. I could have sorn it'd have it out of the box with the alt+f2 shortcut. I usually map it to alt+space

@jalcine What distro are you on? I think most GNOME and KDE envs have it built in these days :P

@beka_valentine Out of curiousity which distro and desktop environment are you running at the moment? I'm on KDE Plasma via steam OS and the krunner integration there has been pretty handy. Especially how previous results get shown first.

@beka_valentine Would something like KRunner or the command thing in GNOME or Pop OS work? I use them extensively for math, accessing files, task switching. I think most distros come with ways to customize what you can do in there too.

Hi, I'm a Haskell programmer. I spent so long getting a math PH.D I forgot "words" can contain more than one letter. I think comp (q,r,s,t) (u,v,w,x) = (q*u+r*w,q*v+r*x,s*u+t*w,s*v+t*x) is "self-documenting code"

Need a second letter in your variable name, just for a laugh? We already have that: It's called '

I think another really important tool is to know who a person follows that you follow or who follows them that you follow. this is a great way to just get context on were in your social graph they fall which can help provide more context. this can also be great for avoiding misunderstandings if you know that somebody is coming from a different social context that changes the way you would interpret what they're saying.

Three months ago I submitted a post to the #Rust sub-reddit called 'Building a better /r/rust together' wherein I hailed #Lemmy as a fitting successor.

Today we have 3+ moderately active Rust spaces on the threadiverse. To counteract community fragmentation, we need the ability for #ActivityPub groups (Lemmy 'community' or #Kbin 'magazine') to follow other groups.

Help needed from fedi-curious Rust developer out there: Implement FEP-d36d for Lemmy as drafted by @helge

@dirk one cool thing js it gives morenuance and context. E.g if I know this one friend is very strict about blocking I can take their block with a grain of salt since I might not have the same criteria

@dirk It's like a reputation system yeah. Kinda like how in person there's the scuttlebutt about who in a community is abusive or sketchy to give others a heads up
