@masukomi@foone oh i see, you mean the joystick or trqckpad in the announced one which isnt available yet?
hm, twiddler is kinda the only device in that direction i am aware of and yes they exist since forever, but overall, aa you mention, you wont be fast using it.
the devixe i work towards is a regular, but split and wearable keyboard, so no reason to not be as fast as with a regular keyboard imho 🙂
@serapath yours is cool, and an interesting alternate solution to the problem. For clarity though i meant since like literally the first version of Twiddler something like 20+ years ago there has been a way to mouse.
@foone You may be underestimating how weird the diesel part is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBART extends an existing BART line with 9.1 miles of track, using diesel trains and standard gauge track. It has just a transfer station and two new stations. This was not existing track or anything, it was built specifically to extend an existing line, because it's apparently cheaper than electrifying a 9 mile extension?
Want to go from "Pitsburg / Bay Point" to "Pitsburg Center"? One stop, but change train.
So I've got a VCR that I can control over serial. If I got a second one, I could stick tapes into them and cross-wire them so that each plays into the other.
I could then set up a program to record from tape 1 onto tape 2, then back from tape 2 to tape 1.
Attach a capture device and I can get video files of each generation.
Then we just watch the generational loss compound.
A car stopped in front of a green light and blocked me from continuing, as it was trying to pick up some riders and had completely failed to get out of the lane.
I would have blown my horn at the driver to get them to get the fuck out of the road, but there wasn't one. The car was driverless.
I just tried to order a pizza and it wanted my credit card expiration date, so I entered "05/28" (example date only)
it then came back with a "your card is expired" error. Uh, no it isn't? that date is still several years in the future.
did... did this site just take my date and assume I mean May of the year AD 28? That is indeed very expired! that's what I get for trying to use Jesus's card.
@aburka@foone I honestly expected, for many years, that a lot of stuff would break in 2020 since so many things were Y2K-fixed with a 20-year delta. But it turns out that was the least of our problems that year!
I wonder if anyone has proposed a PNG/EXIF extension to let you embed an image description in an image file. It'd live with the image so as you upload it to different sites, the description stays with it
@foone yep. it exists. I typically use XMP metadata during image processing jobs, which has a text field for 'description' and many others. it's fairly standard for XMP tooling to be included in the app's base features.
