For all of the blind people who just lost access to the Sonos app, and everyone else who’s accessibility done gone away, I dedicate The Accessibility Blues.

wmj1102,

@bryansmart This song is awesome!!! Love the lyrics. However, what really gets me is the stereo separation in this song, and that classic tavern feel. Nicely done.

wmj1102,

@bryansmart I am curious, as I am still learning. What prompts did you use?

I hate the English language! I mean, it's so easy to foul something up; accidentally reverse just two letters and the whole thing is urined!

wmj1102,

@pianomarian @technocounselor Here’s something to ponder, this is a nice long read about the English language.
We'll Begin with a Box
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and
get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns down,
In which you fill in a form by filling it out, and
In which an alarm goes off by going on.
And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

OK, here’s a question to all followers. Does anyone know of a good accessible task manager, other than the one in Windows? Not that the one Windows is in accessible. Sharonda and I are asking this question, because, at times, our computers begin to sound like an airplane taking off, not sure how to figure out what the process is that’s causing it to run like crazy. Or, does anyone know how to configure the windows task manager so that we can figure out what process is taxing on the CPU. Hopefully, this makes sense. @ShariRockz

I was so unpopular at school they called me "Batteries.”

I'm never included in anything.

I was never able to use the Wi-Fi at my farm until I moved my router to the barn.

Now I have a stable connection.

Did you hear about the kidnapping at school? It’s OK, he woke up.

This was my first ever project with suno. I simply told it to create a metal song about coffee. I didn't even write lyrics, just had GPT do it. Pretty cool. I love the sound of it. #Audio #AI #Sound #Music

My friend told me that his dog retrieved a ball from over a mile away, I don’t know…

Seems pretty far fetched.

Two slices of bread got married.

The wedding was amazing, until someone decided to toast the bride and groom.

I asked my girlfriend when her birthday was.

She said March 1st.

So I walked around the room and asked again.

IPhone users. I have a question. I have noticed a serious bug as of late. Every once in a while, my virtual keyboard will just disappear from the screen. This is the behavor that I would expect when I am actually using an external keyboard. However, this happends when I don’t even have anything hooked up. So, this of course, makes it so that I cannot edit stuff. I have restarted my phone, but the same thing keeps happening. Has anyone else noticed this issue? Any help would be amazing. I’m using an iPhone 14 pro, with the latest iOS. 17.3.1, I believe.

wmj1102,

@ppatel I mentioned it in my post, but it is IOS 17.3.1.

wmj1102,

@ppatel No worries. Its all good. Have you seen this happen at all? Thanks.

When you look through a sound library, have you noticed how many different types of rain there are? There's rain on a car, rain on a car, roof, rain on car windows, rain on a truck, rain on a truck, roof, rain on a tin roof, rain on a tent, rain on muddy ground, rain on concrete, rain on stone, rock, rain on water, rain on the desk, rain on the table, rain on the chairs. Don't forget the interesting ones. Rain on a school roof, rain on a super market, rain at a street market, rain with fan in the background, rain with wind, rain with a lawnmower, rain with traffic, rain with birds. Do you see the point? I wonder, How many different types of wind are there? I mean, do people just make all the things up? grin Just an observation.

Great day. Question for my fellow iPhone users. Has anyone updated the Youtube app? if so, have you noticed that you can no longer see your playlists? For example, I go to Library, click Playlists, and then get a blank screen. Has anyone else noticed this? Ah yes, the joys of updating.

@Onj @FreakyFwoof Hey, I was playing with PowerPoint this past week, learning how to put together a presentation so that I could teach my students how to do it. I actually used this beat in combination with 11 labs audio. I made audio for five different slides. It was really just a challenge myself. I’ll Send the clips to you. They are all wave files, so I’ll send them to you in several replies.

I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster.

If anything, it made him more sluggish.

Dear iPhone, I am honestly getting tired of your constant questioning of my notification settings. When I specify that I want time-sensitive notifications for an app, could you please stop pestering me about it? It's the same with GPS apps running in the background - I've got it under control. And when I grant permission for notifications, I don't need to confirm it four times. Just remember, I'm the one in charge here. When I want to open an app, just do it. And Siri's snarky replies about checking the website for Apple product info? Come on, your competitors handle this way better. Sincerely, your mildly frustrated customer.

Yay, another Jaws scripting accomplishment. I just created a script that will insert today's date into any edit field. Not only that, but it will check to make sure that I am indeed in the edit field. if not, then the sfript will inform me of this. Yay and Yay!!!
