@Sevapopov@mastodon.ml How about trying to improve speechd-el instead? It claims to be simpler to program.

@fastfinge I would create another e-mail, on another provider, and start quitting GMail.
@Bri@fwoof.space Hi, there is something wrong with the account options dialog in FastSM. I cannot manage to remove the correct account from the two I have today. No matter what account I select, it always removes the same account, which is the wrong one. Curiously, when I press add account, it simply adds the account I just removed, without even asking what account type or credentials I want to add.

Very important work.

It's hard these days to find a unifying description, or know about all the people and communities involved in #deltachat #chatmail #webxdc developments. One shared sentiment probably is wanting to develop anti-authoritarian technologies and cultures around it, and being opposed to authoritarian tech policy moves in the West, chat control, age verification, prescribing Google/Apple control, enforcing digital app use etc
It's also a reason we are only posting on the fediverse bridged to bsky.

As I use all this retro tech around me, I'm reminded of something deeper. The peace wasn't discipline to only use one or two apps at a time, it was the hardware enforcing it for you. You didn't monotask because you were wiser; you monotasked because opening a second heavy thing would've brought the machine to its knees. The scarcity was the feature. And the quietly funny part is that we've now spent twenty years building software with things like focus modes, tab suspenders, "do not disturb," app blockers, to manufacture the exact constraint the old machines gave us for free. We're paying to re-impose the limit we celebrated escaping. And I find a huge irony in this. Back then, you went online to download files, check the news and read your favorite forums. You then closed the browser, and ditn' think of it until next evening. That's how it worked. There was no "let's check Mastodon because Claude's grinding away on a work task" thought.
And the latency did something we lost too: it gave every act a beginning and an end. Downloading an album was a thing you did because you committed, you waited, and at the end you had it. It was yours, finite, sitting on a disk you owned. Streaming is infinite and borrowed and never finishes, so nothing is ever a completed act, it's just ambient flow you dip in and out of forever. A finite collection you've curated has a shape. Infinite access has none. That's a real loss to me.

Two things can be true at the same time: Smart glasses can be a great accessibility product AND have severe privacy implications.
Casting either away in favor for the other means that you’re not interested in a serious debate, in my opinion.

@amir@dragonscave.space @mew@fwoof.space I haven't tried the RW yet, but if r triggers reply, that should be fixed. Like any other letter, r should focus the following list entry which starts in r.
