Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 14 July 2024
  • @YourNetworkIsHaunted @blakestacey Their end game is to have content, not art, as you said, because, well, art makes us empathize when we just wanna see another... well, I don't even know how to describe **content** I was gonna joke about action movies but some of them are fantastic metaphores. For example, the Matrix movies being a whole empathy session for Trans struggles.

  • @self Oh wow! Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant reply! I do have a question from the Mastodon side of the Fediverse. Is there a cleaner way I can share links to Lemmy communities? I figured out that if I drop a line,

    like this.

    It creates a post, but don't really wanna create a whole text post when I really wanna share a link, but anyway!

    You win all the replies ever! Thank you! If you want my Javascript prompt injection I made, DM me because I don't wanna give LLM developers easy ways to put up input and output guardrails against my prompt injection.

    I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more #privacy advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

    connecting rblind Lemmy to mastodon with Mona?
  • I interact with Lemmy through Mastodon, and to do this, I just follow communities like @main [email protected] @Soundwarrior20 @MostlyBlindGamer I only use the R Blind community through Mastodon, I don't have a Lemmy instance/username so I just follow @main through my Mastodon account. I hope someone else can help, but I don't know if Mona supports other Fediverse applications like Go To Social or Lemmy.

    Do any blind people use Protonmail despite the CAPTCHAs?
  • @LufyCZ @aibler Yup, and I also browse with Javascript disabled. Makes pages load much faster and junk doesn't get in my way. It can also bypass paywalls too. If a website doesn't work without Javascript disabled I consider that website to be broken.

  • @loobkoob Follow the #FollowFriday and also @FediFollows or here are a number of directories you can use to find people in the Fedi. the first is Trunk, at https://communitywiki.org/trunk/ The second is the Fedi directory, which I like because it’s got specialized topics and the people in this directory appear to be more active than other people in other directories. you can find it at https://fedi.directory/ and the third is another generalized directory, but it’s more about topics and it uses hashtags so I think it’s easier to find people by topics. This directory is at https://fediverse.info/explore/people and lastly, I would use hashtags as directories. subscribe to a hashtag you like and that can help you find people too!

  • A Guy Walks into My Bar Audiobook recommendation.

    A Guy Walks into My Bar Audiobook recommendation.

    Before I start, this is an M/M romance.

    One of the most wonderful British male narrators I’ve ever heard. His name is Shane east. I don’t know his ethnicity, but I was immediately swept up by him reading of one of the characters. This audiobook is a duet narration. This means that multiple readers are reading the dialogue of characters. It is not an audio drama or a full cast recording but I just love the male British narrator Shane East https://www.audible.com/pd/B08BTLV158?source\_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share\_location=pdp

    So this is nice! Today I discovered that I can download M4B files from my Libro FM library instead of zipped MP3 files and now I wish this was the default. I like having structural elements in one file rather than having a folder comprised of nearly 80 tracks. It makes it easy to trance for as well! #Audiobooks #LibroFM @[email protected] @[email protected] @bookstodon
