Some program interfaces just don't need changed.

Why did anyone think that touch screens were a good idea? Swipe swipe swipe, swipe swipey swipe swipity swipe! 3 hours later, oh yay, I made it 10 posts down my timeline! Swipe swipe swipity swipe swipe...

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Why do you think I read on a stream/book port for years, and even still do?

Interesting observation: almost all of the blind hackers in my friend circle are bookworms, me included. I mean, some of us like audio over epub or vice versa, same with genres, but we're all bookworms. Wonder why?

TheQuinbox,

@miki Yup, that's true. I do enjoy being able to literally read basically anywhere and not get judged. Books kind of always called me though, my third grade teachers were mildly horrified when I started talking about the political conflicts in the the third hunger games book LOL.

TheQuinbox,

@cordova5029 Pretty much, seemingly. Because normally if I'm listening to music, or watching TV, I can still very easily think about programming, or a project I'm working on. Reading though? It lets me relax and just think about the book.

OK, can someone, please, recommend a mastodon app for Android that is not pachli or tusky, before I defenistrate this bullshit?

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence Fedilab, mastodon for Android, or my favorite, Megalodon.

Half the time (probably more) when I restart NVDA, usually due to UIA shitting itself in consoles, everything goes to shit on my system. Alt+tab won't report correctly, a bunch of Windows go not responding, etc. I end up having to log out and log back in again to restore functionality. I can't figure out what the hell is causing it and it's really difficult to debug because well... the system is unusable. Damn I hate bugs like this. And anything that makes my screen reader not read things to me to that level has a tendency to frustrate me to the point of rage.

TheQuinbox,

@jcsteh Yup, this. This exact issue is why I haven't bothered debugging my firefox problems too much further, NVDA crashing this hard can render my system totally unusable and trying to debug like that has made me rage so loud family members have heard it before.

In C# you can do:
someVar is > 10 and < 100 and not 60
and I think that's beautiful.

TheQuinbox,

@talon string[]@ opImplConv() const property { return this.text.split("\n");}
Allows you to cast your type to a string[]@ in Angelscript implicitly. There's also opImplCast, which does it explicitly.

OK. I'm tired of this desktop. I need some kind of something that I don't know, pings google or something and when it detects there's no connection, restarts my wi-fi. IDK if something like this is possible, but I need it to be able to just recover itself on it's own. I'm tired of babysitting it.

TheQuinbox,

@FluidEscence You know PureBasic, try writing a little watchdog using this. Procedure ping(address.l, timeout=5000)
Protected HFile = IcmpCreateFile_()
Protected Res
Protected *Out.ICMP_ECHO_REPLY = AllocateMemory(SizeOf(ICMP_ECHO_REPLY) + 32)
If IcmpSendEcho_(HFile, Address, "@Echo this stuff", 32, 0, *Out, MemorySize(*Out), Timeout) And *Out\Status = 0
Res = *Out\RoundTripTime
Else
Res = -1
EndIf
IcmpCloseHandle_(HFile)
FreeMemory(*Out)
ProcedureReturn Res
EndProcedure

@FluidEscence @quanin Maybe something in this API? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wlanapi/nf-wlanapi-wlanhostednetworkquerystatus
