YubiKey And Screen Readers
1mon 4d ago in main@rblind.com from stuff.interfree.caDo you find "Kpop Demon Hunters" offensive?
1mon 17d ago in progressivechristian@sh.itjust.worksNo. It's explicitly anti-demon. I don't like it, because I'm not the target market, but it's fine. IMHO Hazbin Hotel is both much more offensive and much more dangerous. It twists pseudo-scriptural myths about Lilith and Lucifer into a pro-demon and pro-hell narrative. Even that would be fine if everyone realizes it's just for fun. But it's much closer to the line where these ideas can become part of the cultural understanding via osmosis, in the same way everyone thinks there were three wise men even though scripture doesn't back this up in any way. But the kind of Christians who get offended by kpop demon hunters don't care because the title isn't shocking, so they let the things that are actually problems slip right past them without comment.
Federated Goodread ?
4mon 17d ago in fediverseThe problem is that most data about books (ISBNs, DDC and LOC classification, cover images, synopsis, etc) are owned by either Amazon or Worldcat. So if you read anything even slightly off beat, you’ll be entering all of that data yourself. That also means recommendations aren’t really a thing. If you just want to track and share your reading, and don’t mind entering all the data yourself, bookwyrm is fine. But if you want to just search for a book and add it to your shelf, or get recommendations of new books, it’s nowhere near there.

The State of Modern AI Text To Speech Systems for Screen Reader Users
5mon 13d ago in main@rblind.com from stuff.interfree.caWhat book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? December 16
6mon 3d ago in booksI'm currently enjoying The Art of Diploma-Bee: A Dungeon-Core LitRPG, The Bee Dungeon, Book 3 by Icalos on audible. I really enjoy his humour, and Savy Des-Etages is one of my favourite narrators of all time. If you've never read any litrpg, this could be a good series to introduce you to it.

6mon 3d ago in main@rblind.com from stuff.interfree.caFun/interesting things to self host?
6mon 9d ago in selfhostedIf you want to get straight to the fun, I might recommend: https://cosmos-cloud.io/
It will handle all of the uninteresting stuff like docker, reverse proxies, ssl certificates, etc. You can get straight to adding apps either by pasting in a docker-compose, or getting them straight from the cosmos marketplace.
Also, it works with standard tools, so other than the reverse proxy, it's easy to migrate away from if you want. I think the reverse proxy is just caddy, but I don't know where the caddy config file goes or how to pull it out of the funky cosmos config format.
New haptic display technology creates 3D graphics you can see and feel
6mon 12d ago in main@rblind.com from news.ucsb.edudatabase issues fixed
6mon 17d ago in main@rblind.comBonus third fix: If you notice that your pict-rs is using a lot of CPU or doing an unreasonable amount of IO, convert from using SLED (the default image repo) to using postgresql. The documentation for doing this is provided in the pict-rs crate.
Lemmy Development Update November 2025
6mon 17d ago in announcements@lemmy.mlThanks, the Backwards compatibility is huge for us! We have a bunch of users who depend on mlem or thunder, so I was assuming I'd have to wait until updated versions of both of those apps was released to upgrade rblind.
The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization
6mon 17d ago in fediverse@lemmy.ml from deadsuperhero.comOr: maybe we can just keep paid influencer scams off the fediverse entirely? IMHO we don't need or want paid content creators here. As soon as someone can make a buck from it, the entire network will be flooded with clickbait, AI generated posts, and worse.
Can't send Emails from Joplin Server

Do you think standard batteries like A, AA, AAA, C, and D, 9V etc will eventually become obsolete?
6mon 21d ago in asklemmyThese are the way. They usually come with a cable that splits from one USB A to four or more USB C. So you have a spot to charge them normally, but you can also give them a quick charge when you're out and about with any random cable you have if you can't find the splitter. And they charge much quicker than using a battery charger.
