@lain while disabled people (blind, heavily dyslexic, etc) benefit from these techs the most on an individual level, general society can also benefit from the tech significantly.
Being able to have PDFs, emails, etc read to you while you mundane tasks would be a solid benefit for many people -

@lain yes, the iphone ocr is very good from what I've heard. Hopefully tesseract (FOSS OCR) gets to that point eventually.
Text to speech is another area where FOSS isn't that great - a pity because I think it would be great to have books read to you. -

@gray @lain someone actually did something similar to this on a mass scale.
He found a lot of memes and then OCRed them using iphones to create a meme search engine

nope.
libredirect to invidious works well (once you prune the bad instances)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/
mpv works better in some cases (where video chapters are useful, or you need subtitles, or when you want to cache a lot of the video before watching (because e.g. you want to skip through it or your internet is slow)) -

Is this you, Gleason? @alex
>I am a host for a medium-sized website and I am attempting to automate dealing with the CSAM problem that comes with hosting anything online. Are there any tools out there that provide free and easy access to APIs for verifying images and videos against CSAM databases, or out-right dumps of hashes from CSAM databases? Looking around, I've only been able to find services that require a large amount of pre-approval for use rather than just a simple account. Any pointers would be appreciated.
>Tech I've already looked into:
>Facebook's ThreatExchange (requires pre-approval)
>PhotoDNA (requires pre-approval)
>Cloudflare (actively hostile to self-hosters)
>NCMEC's Database (requires pre-approval, difficult to get from what i've heard)
>EOKM HashCheckServer (requires pre-approval, in dutch so very difficult to understand)

"Smart" home devices are being turned off as British Gas’s Hive discontinues products
Don't worry, it's helping climate change:
>Hive said it had “big plans to make homes more energy efficient and cheaper to run” and that scrapping the smart homes products would allow it to focus on developing “smart home tech that’ll get us closer to net zero”.

@MK2boogaloo I just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a recent source for the percentage of people who have never installed an extension. Couldn't find it for all the useless SEO articles. Last I heard it was somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3s. I.e. a non-trivial proportion.
Google lists the number of ublock origin installs as being 10m+, but considering that there are billions of chrome users, this isn't that many (I assume they'd put it as 100m+ if it was so). -

>Propaganda got to be a bad word due to the Germans
This is a lie. The word was originally associated with Christianity and had a positive connotation. It was the British lying propaganda of WWI which led to the word becoming dirty -

@ChristiJunior @RedpillBot It's funny how you can show normies that they are being manipulated (from the top down) over time, e.g. in relation to gays or trannies. They might even agree with you (at least until they forget about their position in a couple weeks).
https://images.nobodyhasthe.biz/post/2095
But, show them the beliefs previous generations which were manipulated over time (e.g. in relation to racial issues), and the normies will say "That's bad. That's outdated.", even though it's obvious that there was top down manipulation in past beliefs too. -

@Zerglingman @mia it's difficult/grating to use the internet without first party js.
I use umatrix to disable 3rd party js. [ublock advanced mode doesn't replace umatric - @digdeeper has a nice article on the subject https://digdeeper.club/articles/addons.xhtml#umatrix ] -

@Zerglingman it seems like the local network stuff can be blocked by ublock origin (although it's not blocked by default so 99.9% of internet users are vulnerable to it (I heard brave recently added some protections too, so there's that)).
Cloudflare MIMT is obviously more difficult to avoid. -
