Prompted by a recent conversation, I have decided to revive my #ProtectTheFediverse hashtag from my V Continuum days. Detroit Riot City promotes literal homophobia, raceism, hate speech, cyber bullying and other horrible shit (https://detroitriotcity.com/about) and childlove.space is literally an instance for pedophiles (the clue's in the damn title)! These are just 2 examples, but there are thousands of instances like it. We must fight tooth and nail to keep these instances and users from invading and destroying the fediverse. Block, report to hosting providers, even bring it up to authorities if needs be! The fediverse is a place of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility for all. Let's do what we can to protect it!

I just applied for a job doing calls for an internet service provider. So, not only do I use the internet, but I might soon be giving the internet to people and trying to stop people from leaving the internet.

How are you supposed to mention people on Discord for iOS if VoiceOver won't show the list when you type @? Mobile is the future? Pubes to that!

To be clear to those who know my situation with this type of content, this was simply a test. Turns out the test failed. Both Seeing AI and PiccyBot wanted nothing to do with it and passed it off as an error when there was clearly nothing wrong, the AI's just didn't like it because it didn't fit within their bullshit guidelines.

Trying to describe a short movie scene with Seeing AI: sorry, this video cannot be described. Please try another video. Really? It's only a minute and under 1MB in size. Oh, it's because it's violent, right? If we're ever gonna rely on AI for image/video descriptions, these stupid fucking guardrails need to go.

No January in the UK is complete without 100mph winds and rubbish bins flying all over the place. A lot of things will be flying all over the place today, stay safe out there!

Windows Defender is a virus. That's it. That's the toot.

There's a special place in hell for those who think having the month and year as a single dropdown is a good idea. I just had to swipe down 292 times (12 × 24 + 4) to find my month and year of birth when creating a new Apple ID in iOS settings.

They're keeping her in the hospital through the day for further observation and tests. We still don't know what the story is.

My mother has just been taken into hospital following a huge coughing fit that lasted around 45 minutes. She'll most likely be fine, but better to be safe than sorry.

Windows Defender has gone rogue and started blocking harmless shit like KeyOp and WinSCP that I've been using for literal months. I've allowed them back, but now they're refusing to start. I've always hated modern antivirus with a fiery fucking passion, but now that fire is burning hotter than ever. Reminds me of that time when AVG went ballistic and corrupted half my software installers; I had to redownload the fuckers.

Here's my Escargot Chat review, which has been revised to reflect the recent change to the account system and removal of hCaptcha. https://reviews.seediffusion.cc/2024/08/27/hughes-reviews-nina-and-escargot/

The retro IM revival service Escargot Chat used to use that pain-in-the-ass piece of shit called hCaptcha. However, after some messages to the Escargot team, I'm pleased to report that they've launched a new account registration page, and it no longer uses HellCaptcha and now uses Turnstile! It's a small victory for #accessibility, but a victory none the less! I'll be revising my 2024 Escargot review shortly to reflect this development. We did it guys! Well, I did it mostly.

With all the work that's been happening recently to research and revive vintage speech synthesizers, I've been hearing more and more of forment, diphone, unit selection etc speech synths. Can someone explain to me in simple terms what these types of speech synth are? I get neural, it's machine learning for human sounding speech.
