Just found the Google Sound Amplifier app for people who need ambient noises amplified.
Really useful! Needs headphones in but definitely boosts.
Except it only uses the phone microphone.
You can't attach a different microphone and set it to use that.
Alternatives?
"Unleash your Creativity with the power of Leonardo Ai "
Maybe change that to "unleash your ability to generate images based on the *actual* talents of others with unethical art sourcing while claiming that you're a creative person because you don't care"
@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I found explainxkcd a useful source when I made my own xkcd searcher (now a dead project)
The transcript sections would be a good source for real alt text e.g. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2840:_Earth_Layers
Edit: explainxkcd is still alive; my searcher doesn’t exist anymore
@atpfm@mastodon.social good episode. On the topic of “life streams,” there are some people like me in the #IndieWeb community that use our websites for this purpose. I record every podcast I listen to on @overcastfm@mastodon.social automatically. Every show and movie through Trakt. Every significant place I go with Swarm. My location in realtime using Overland (https://overland.p3k.app), and more.
My stream: https://cleverdevil.io/content/all

This is off the back of amazing work by @matthewskelton@mastodon.social / @manuelpais@mastodon.social with @TeamTopologies@mastodon.social and Gregor Hohpe. My hope is to get more eyes on the concepts of Thinnest Viable (in addition to Minimum Viable) Platforms and Floating Platforms.
Let me know what you think!

But here’s my contribution to it 💛 https://manuelmoreale.com/pb-ana-rodrigues
Deactivated my Microsoft account. That'll be over a decade of games, achievements, history, email and the like all gone once it's done. That was not an easy choice to make. And now I'll be alienating myself from anyone who plays on there. I still have my 360 (and a bunch of games to play on) so I'll keep that but I'll probably look to homebrew it so I can pull my stats into a SQLite database somewhere.
I'm at the point now where I care a lot less if I "miss out". It'll be on Steam (because PC gaming - though still a cliff, once climbed - brings it to everyone) or GOG or what have you. I'm putting my faith into PC gaming, too. It's what got me into gaming (on library computers) and it's what keeps me interested.
Never had a PlayStation so never had to worry about that. (https://jacky.wtf/2023/10/Qmwq)

My cat refuses to sit in my lap, but insists on sitting in a basket that is in my lap. She gets in the basket and then meows at me until I put the basket in my lap 😂
I just tooted, in regard to the long ago removal of RSS feeds from Twxtter, Fxcebook etc, that they “shit those down to enhance lock-in”.
I meant “shut those down” not “shit those down” but now in my headcanon “to shit down” means to enshittify a product by removing a feature that is beloved to users but obstructs profit-maximization.

Twitter removed one of the most wholesome bird references. It must have been a ton of work to build this brand and it's amazing how fast it can be destroyed.

Switching back to Firefox as my daily driver has not been without incident.
I still can't rely on it for video calls (audio goes weird, apparently a regression was introduced recently), and it's crashy in a lossy way. I haven't had to put this much effort into restoring my tabs in years 😅
The sharp edges are worth it given the tradeoffs (weighing up privacy and the value of browser engine diversity), but my goodness I hope this gets better.

There’s a documentary out about legendary athlete that makes me think they might be Neuro Spice which is fascinating but we’re not supposed to talk about such things 😩

Gotta love the spoiler-free #OuterWilds changelog.
My decision to start a capital-B Blog (as opposed to microblogging, which I've been doing since I was a wee one on The Tumbler) was largely spur-of-the-momen...
Interview went well. They seemed to like me. Course, them liking me is rarely the problem. *Hiring* me is where everybody seems to get confused. So, fingers remain crossed.
