In the past 3 weeks, the #Biden admin has extended overtime pay for 4 mil workers, moved to cancel student debt for 25 mil borrowers, banned non-competes, banned drilling on 13 mil acres of AK wilderness, forced airlines to give refunds for delayed/ canceled flights and restored net neutrality.
Doesn't matter given that nobody knows this, popularism is BS, there's no liberal equivalent of Fox, the legacy media is relentlessly hostile and Biden's the elderly PM of Israel. #Election2024
@annaecook The me from 2012 who deleted facebook in the wake of the Snowden revelations would be shocked and appalled to learn who he would eventually work for.
Hi everyone hope all is well. Just wanted to say that for those interested, the Wewalk Smart Cane Version 2 is now available for preorder starting today. Super grateful to have worked with the team on design and features. I can't wait for y'all to use it. Here's a link to a video I did with them. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/InFduStmgxM?si=O06Bj0pIvfFpjbaZ#blind#accessibility#wewalk#technology#tech
It's that time again. I need help from a disability answer desk, #Google this time. It's not strictly an accessibility issue, rather a feature request to reinstate a thing they removed. first I got stupid "read the FAQ" thing, then guess what? "Send us a screen recording of what you are doing". I sent textual explanations like three times, I cannot imagine what is not clear in them, unless the person trying to read them is illiterate. that obsession with videos just pisses me off, really.
Am I the only person who couldn't care less if Tiktok gets banned? Extremely unpopular opinion and I know that all of you tiktok addicts are going to kill me, but I really don't care. Never liked that inaccessible bad habit encouraging platform. I will die on this hill.
@threlm4280 It's fine that you don't like TikTok, but I don't think we should be telling other people that they shouldn't be allowed to use it. Freedom of speech used to mean something in this country.
@nolan I like them! There's definitely some stuff I would like that they do not do, like describing people for instance. Most of the descriptions are fairly terse, but it does support follow-ups so you can usually get the information you want. E.G "What am I looking at?" "You are looking at what appears to be a parking lot, with trees and rows of cars." "What kinds of cars are they?" "They appear to be mostly Minivans, with some Christler's and Toyota's." And $300 beats the hell out of Envision!
@nolan I'm not sure what you mean by speech to text. You ask it voice commands and it answers you in voice, though I believe it also saves a history of your AI interactions in the app so you can look at them later. I haven't needed to do that though.
The sound quality is okay, I like it better than the Bose Frames I used to have, but it is not a replacement for headphones. It is good enough that you might not care just walking around though.
I keep getting a bluescreen whenever I restart due to something causing ntoskrnl.exe to lock pages. How can I debug the problematic driver or process that is causing this? #windows
@alltherum Which logs are most helpful here? I can find the critical where the computer shut down, but it just says that it shut down, there's no explanation provided. I am looking at the bluescreen which tells me the process that is locking the pages, but it's an OS process, meaning that something else is calling it which I have not been able to locate.
@alltherum It's very predictable, it happens whenever I tell it to restart or shut down. Well, not every time as I have discovered, but almost every time once I let it to boot up fully. Have disconnected all my peripherals apart from my keyboard and ethernet. I also ran tron hoping it would fix it, but no dice. I believe tron includes sfc /scannow, which did find and repair errors when it was ran. Running it again, though, did not find any errors but I'm still getting crashes.
@alltherum I sit corrected, I just tried and it restarted without issue this time. But this morning I let it sit for a few hours after a restart without doing anything else and it crashed this morning when I tried shutting down. I was trying esentially the same experiment today by leaving it on without doing anything for a few hours, I assumed it would crash again but it did not this time... so I have no idea what the commonality is. But it happens usually when I try and shut down or restart.
Example of plural oops:
Me to James: I can't remember the name of this utility Simon would ask me to run if he knew I were looking to spruce up my PC before a long trip where discrete communication would be needed.
James: So, call Simon and ask him?
Me: I could, but, I want to see if Cassie brain will remember the name of this dang tool.
James: Do you remember where you heard about it?
Me: While talking to my Alter Aeon friends. So definitely something the Cassie alias would have access to. If I can't remember the name of it and Simon doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'll ping Athlon... several days later
Me: I've got it!
James: Got what?
Me: It's this PC clean-up tool all my AA friends were using. It's called Tron.
James: Never heard of it. https://github.com/bmrf/tron
