Notices by Thibault Molleman 🔜 FOSDEM (thibaultmol@en.osm.town)

@anna it'd have to verify this but normally nav.fosdem.org has a navigation tool inside that allows one to choose 'wheelchair' and give it a route that is accessible by wheelchair.

@anna Are the main problems you're facing mainly to do with indoor or outdoor navigation? (or both).

I am also a volunteer with openstreetmap so I have some vague connections with people who do accessibility things and I know a company that can print braille maps and such. Would that help in some way?

@anna (please don't interpret my response as an attack, that's not how I mean I'm just trying to have a conversation)
But with regards specifically to the physical accessibility (i'm referring to how you need a cane), is there something they could do?
FOSDEM is held at the ULB campus so it's partially ULB that needs to improve their accessibility as well?

(again, just asking for what could be done. I don't know enough about navigation for blind people to know what's possible)

@TTimo @lain
(have been recommending Kagi even before I was a consultant for them, disclaimer).

But yeah, Kagi Ultimate makes a lot of sense. It's not perfect when compared to having some of these llm's directly. But considering you're getting the best search engine included, the price is hard to argue against.

@TTimo @lain personally I just upgraded for one month to try it out and then stuck with it. But yeah, I feel you.

I should mention that in the New year's celebration live stream they did mention that the lower tier plans are also going to get some basic level of access to the assistant iirc

If someone needs a simple (but with a decent ui for adding content and such) website. But isn't tech savvy.
What service would you recommend?
(Something like wix/squarespace/etc but not as bloated or expensive)

@omgubuntu I'm no fanboy of any company. def not of intel.
But damn, Intel be cooking lately.

When they have something that is worth upgrading to from a GTX 1080, I'll look into buying it maybe

I asked (one of) my banks (KBC in this case):
Is this a normal fee or is there a bug in your system?

They replied it's normal.... what...?!
The cost is almost the same as the amount I'm wanting to transfer.

(I try not to use KBC for currency transfers, but wth?!)

@h @Edent @dansup he only has to open source it at the end though right? (I don't think nlnet requires you to open source throughout the dev process necessarily. Just at the end it needs to be open source)

it wouldn't be the first project that's closed source at the start (because yeah... it's not done yet and there are problems) and then open source when they declare it stable

#LibreOffice question:... is it really not possible without a macro to have Writer flip between pages?
Currently if you scroll, it scrolls. I want a single scroll action to immediately flip to the next page.
Page Down also doesn't flip an entire page.

I feel like i've used other programs before that if you set the zoom to 'entire page' would change this behavior but maybe I'm making this up, I don't know anymore

@cnx just so clear on things we're both referring to Linus tech tips Sebastian right? Who did a Linux challenge a while ago but he doesn't use Linux daily since

So Linus on the WAN show last night was talking about how he had trouble diagnosing why half his pc's weren't going to sleep. He eventually figured out that it was because half the pc's had steam running but on a store page, which means a video is playing.

Meanwhile, on Linux: #KDE plasma just has an easy built-into-the-ui indicator that tells you what is blocking sleep .... I have used this feature many times and I love it.

So yeah, I don't know who at KDE worked on this feature, but I ❤️ you

@kev you switched to Intel? /S

Why 'blue' though?

Which one of you started pushing Mastodon within the #OpenStreetMap community?

I noticed like 5+ signups in one day on en.osm.town

@vel What made you decide to post this... why would you even dare to unleash such an idea into this forsaken world...?

xd

Today is just one of those days huh?

I want to report a bug for Mapcomplete, so I need to screen record.

The screen record tool I normally use still uses bad encoding settings that are hard coded in, so i'll try something else.

This new tool seems to have problems with region select on my pc, so I want to make a bug report.

I want to take a screenshot of the tool and how it's region select is wrong, but then it turns out my screenshot tool also can't region select properly

I have gone very from my original objectives today by just going down this (what feels like adhd) spiral XD

@killyourfm lifetime is BS. Lifetime cloud storage doesn't exist

@phaedral @josephcox mastodon has a built in filter, you can just add blue sky as a filtered word and you'll never see your hear about it again

@anna yep, honestly one of the main things that I love about Mastodon.

The whole crowd of people that are like "WHAT IF SOMEONE CHANGED A POPULAR POST?!"... that's fine.. there's an edit history... it's really not that big of a deal
