That you cannot understand technology without understanding the people. And you cannot understand people without understanding politics. Every choice you made has an impact on the world.

As it happens, I had this very conversation with a high school kid yesterday who was in my office on work experience. She said something to the effect of “I’m not political” to which I looked her dead in the eye and said: “You should be. Everything is political”.

Thanks for sharing. It’s always good to see people advocating for Free licensing for the right reasons.

As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?

Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

Thanks for posting this! I have the same router.

Relevant.

Awesome. Perhaps now there will be some renewed focus on screen reader support?

It’s a different kind of world. You need a different kind of software.

We don’t use X, and we don’t use Facebook, and I’m not even close to feeling sorry."

Love it. Subscribed!

Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn’t see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.

Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.

Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! “Bluey”, “The Owl House”, “Hilda”, and “Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts” are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)

Oh really? Boo.

Retrodeck looks good, but the recommended install instructions were just too nutty for me: curl https://... | bash is not ok.

I think Emudeck is available as a Flatpak, so you should be able to install it on your desktop too.

Nifty! I wrote something similar a couple years ago using Vosk for the stt side. My project went a little further though, automating navigating the programs you start. So you could say: “play the witcher” and it’d check if The Witcher was available in a local Kodi instance, and if not, then figure out which streaming service was running it and launch the page for it. It’d also let you run arbitrary commands and user plugins too!

I ran into two big problems though that more-or-less killed my enthusiasm for developing on it: (1) some of the functionality relied on pyautogui, but with the Linux desktop’s transition to Wayland, some of the functionality I relied on was disappearing. (2) I wanted to package it for Flatpak, and it turns out that Flatpak doesn’t play well with Python. I was also trying to support both arm64 and amd64 which it turns out is also really hard (omg the pain of doing this for the Pi).

Anyway, maybe the project will serve as some inspiration.

Right? This was so educational!
