    Crazy, I’m having Astra add a feature to my own coding app for managing agent sessions, and I tell it, “Go ahead and build in an MCP server for automated computer control; remote control still doesn’t work in that particular app.” It finds the app itself and quickly tries it out. It still feels a little spooky.

    any recommendations for game sound libraries that won&#39;t leave you completely broke? I think https://www.weloveindies.com/en sounds pretty good, specifically looking for magic and fantasy sounds.

    got the Mx Keys Mini delivered yesterday. It feels really nice to type on and is truly high-quality for 70 euros. I think this will be my new travel keyboard. Only the Windows pairing mode is absolute crap—when you have to use NVDA object navigation to read the pairing code, you know something is going wrong at Microsoft.

    I just can&amp;#39;t decide which operating system I prefer. I love browsing on Windows, I love working in the terminal and the responsiveness of Linux, and I love the simplicity and seamless integration with all other systems that Mac OS offers. I&amp;#39;ll probably keep switching back and forth between them forever and never be able to fully commit to one of the three. #linux #windows #mac

    Man kann über die #Telekom viel meckern, aber das aktuelle MagentaTV Programm zur #WM ist wirklich gut aufgezogen. Mehrere unterschiedliche Kanäle mit ddiversen Experten und jeder kann sich aussuchen was er lieber schauen möchte. Außerdem zu jedem Spiel Audiodeskription, die man auf Wunsch dazu schalten kann. Mich persönlich überzeugt das Ganze sehr.

    Wow, cool—I’m now in the Apple Developer Program, and I’m going to see if I can build something good with Swift that’s compatible with VoiceOver. It would be really handy to build my own software that no one else has built exactly the way I need it, or that’s only available in a non-accessible version. Let&amp;#39;s see. #accessibility #apple #iOS

    Thanks to @mewproj bringing FastSM to Linux. It&amp;#39;s always nice to become more independent from Windows.

    So far, EnteAuth is definitely my favorite app for two-factor authentication codes. It works well on iOS and Windows; unfortunately, the Linux version isn&amp;#39;t as user-friendly, but luckily there&amp;#39;s also a web app. I highly recommend it. https://ente.com/auth/ #accessibility #2factor #Windows #iOS #linux

    I recently bought Libby from Blastbay as the new voice for NVDA in English. It sounds really natural and has a very pleasant delivery. At $20, it&amp;#39;s an absolutely fair price. #NVDA #SAPI5 #TTS #screenreader

    The Braille Sense 7 looks really awesome, considering the specs. Finally, a modern Braille note-taking device. Maybe I can somehow manage to get one for work. #accessibility #braille

    #Claude is the first AI chatbot so far that behaves and sounds truly natural. Furthermore, #Anthropic is the only company that has even come close to achieving long-lasting memory. And to this day, I find that somewhat creepy. Where will we be in three years if so much money continues to be thrown at this?

    Woohoo! #Mastodon is now running on the new #Proxmox server. It did take quite a bit of work to migrate everything from the old #Debian system and set it up again. But the main thing is that it&amp;#39;s working. I love homelabs!

    I hate this stupid hCaptcha system. What complete idiot in any company thinks: “Wow, that’s awesome! Let’s use that!” #captcha #accessibility

    @homelab How many of you out there use ECC RAM, and how often has it proven itself in your setup? I used to think about how useful it was when it was still affordable. But now that&amp;#39;s completely unthinkable.
