  • App doesn’t appear to work at all.

    Might work with the floating button, but I won’t activate it to test.

    The accessibility option it needs is unclear, it just sent me to the android accessibility setting tab with no idea what needs to be done there, if anything.

    It didn’t replace my default assistant when I tried to change it.

    Circletosearch says to double tap the status bar? Why? That doesn’t do anything?

    I didn’t see anything sketchy about the app, but it doesn’t appear to be functional, so meh. Maybe try again after they’ve worked on it some more.


  • Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

    If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

    Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

    There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.



  • Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

    It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

    Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

    Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

    Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

    Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

    This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!




  • She’s the ships counselor, who at any moment may need to have deeply personal and unofficial private conversations with anyone in need. Those discussions are officially informal. Thus she maintains a casual professional appearance.

    It’s not jazzersize, it’s public lounge wear, she is at ease to help aid her clients ability to transition to an at ease state.

    While doing official duty on the bridge it is appropriate for her to dress in uniform, but those duties tended to be momentary, not planned, so a wardrobe change would’ve been an odd choice.


  • She may have actually qualified as obese at times, as there’s an actual medical classification.

    I don’t think that’s likely to be the case in that second photo you shared, she does have a heavy build in general, but there have been times since being on ST when she likely did qualify.

    IIRC, obese is anything over a specific rage of BMI or BFP, whichever you use. So if a healthy BMI for you is 18-25 and you are 30 then you are obese.

    I’m not a pro, so I’m not sure about the hard details, but the point I’m making is that obese isn’t a personal opinion of looks too fat. A person doesn’t necessarily even need to look it, but they could still qualify.

    My SO looks fine at 30, but not much above that. I think they’re sitting at 28 currently.



  • Meh, far as I’m concerned they can still talk about all these events and facts but they should always do so in a positive and celebratory manner.

    Not, this site remembers whatever genocide, but instead, this site remembers the soldiers/citizens who faught against a ruthless group who were at the time commiting genocidal acts against indigenous people… You don’t even need to name the group of assholes. But it’s fine to specifically name the heros and their heroic acts.

    Perhaps post education signs that talk about positive changes to an area.

    Like in 1998 John Soandso lead a campaign to restore the area you see before you to the healthy natural state it’s in today. Because of that campaign bla bla birds and native plants have returned to the area over the years since. Previous to John’s campaign the area had been heavily over polluted by nearby industrial factories.

    Keep any of the bad stuff referenced as a relevant afterthought. Use the good stuff as examples of what to do, of people to look up to.

    I saw some similar signs in NC last time I went through, like the ones celebrating the life of a master builder in area who had helped build many of the still standing historic building. Oh yeah, he was also black and a slave, but that wasn’t the point, so it was just kinda noted within the context of the details of his life… Instead the sign celebrated his craft and contributions to the community.


  • Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…

    I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.

    I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.

    1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.

    It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.

    Those gates have gotten really nasty.

    It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.

    Completely backwards attitude and practice.
