  1. "Bausteine einer möglichen Zukunft 'Digitaler Geisteswissenschaften' Technikzukünfte, Hochschulwandel, Dritte Kultur" – mein Beitrag zum 2. Band des wunderbaren Kompendiums Computational Theology von Frederike van Oorschot und @chnunn, #OpenAccess bei @heiUP bald auch auf Englisch. Es war mir eine große Freude!

  2. Gestern - Ja das war definitiv zu viel Zauberschnee für den #ABK. Da war Tiefschneeradeln angesagt. Aber ich war ganz froh, dass heute auf den Radwegen schon überwiegend recht annehmbare Bedingungen geschafft worden. Auf den Fußwegen sieht es aber immer noch wild aus und dementsprechend ist jeder Radweg aktuell ein geteilter Geh- und Radweg. Ich hoffe der ABK schafft jetzt auch die Nacharbeiten an Übergängen etc. Dann wär es schon richtig stark! #Kiel #Schnee #ABKkehrs

  3. Diss von 1968 verwendet Siglen zur Referenz auf Texte. Die Siglen:
    BONER
    DEF
    GEIL BRÖS
    GEIL HASE
    LECT
    SPEC
    STRICK I

    Und das geht schon hart Richtung Kühlschrankpoesie, finde ich.

    (Und "Boner" ist noch nichtmal abgekürzt. Seit Jahren nehm ich den immer mal wieder in die Hand, und erst heute fällt mir auf, wie dämliche Witze man mit dem Namen machen kann.)

  4. #die #pixel !
    Me: buy new #Pixel8, setup everything.
    Pixel: well, Advanced Braille Keyboard #abk with #CSR (commentary screenreader) won't work together. You suffer now!
    Me: * debugging, suffering, in the end gave up and turning off csr every time I need to use abk.
    Me (5 months later): What if I switch to Pixel Launcher?
    Pixel: Yes, abk+csr work fine!
    Me: what if I switch back to Microsoft Launcher but switch to button navigation instead of gestures?
    Pixel: Yes, this setup also works perfectly.
    Me: And.... What if I turn everything back to my preference? (gesture navigation + MS launcher)?
    Pixel: No no! This setup doesn't work for some unknown reason! You suffer!

    I mean what the hell?!! I have only one idea: probably when you switch from default launcher it starts to use another component for gesture handling and this component breaks communication between csr and abk.
    But on custom #Android this doesn't happen, only on stock PixelOS with either 14 or 15 Android.

    Gonna never buy it!

  5. After the welcome process you'll see a standard #CRDroid launcher which is fully accessible and is very simple.
    I use Microsoft Launcher on my primary phone but for the sake of battery and cpu optimization I'll stick to the default launcher on this old Samsung.

    Some accessibility labels in the UI are not translated to Russian and some buttons on recent apps screen have no accessibility labels at all.
    The left one is for share, the middle one is for force kill of current app and the right one is for closing all apps.
    Or enable read identifiers in Talk Back and get English names of these buttons.

    Btw, Jieshuo screenreader works fine on this phone and as usual is much much faster than Talk Back, so I switch to it and leave Talk Back as a backup method.

    Advanced Braille Keyboard #abk works fine too and I'm happy about that :D

  6. Didn't know until now that #Blizzcon 2024 was cancelled.

    I was expecting them to show... mmm... so that's why they cancelled it. 😆

  7. I don't think Phil is going to "kill" Xbox. Quite the contrary, if it wasn't for him, Xbox would have become the new SEGA.

    The goal is still the same: focus on content rather than hardware. It made sense in 2010s, still is, but not in the future.

    For that, the ABK acquisition is corner stone given their active franchises.

  8. We've got the #RugbyLeague on and there are lots of sponsorship boards around the ground for ABK Beer, the official beer of #SuperLeague, apparently. That's just reminded me, though, of one of my favourite YouTube animations from Alasdair Beckett-King. The Interdimensional ABK is a fabulous homage to cartoon intros like the also incredible Ulysses 31.

  9. Microsoft has denied FTC's accusation on the #ABK independence promise post-merger, indicating that Activision was already on plans for running layoffs before the deal's closure is incorrect to fully attribute to Microsoft Gaming's process.

  11. This gremlin of a man needs to have several seats before he he says anything else!

  12. Massively Overpowered rightfully tears into Variety's fluff piece with Bobby #Kotick, who sheds crocodile tears about an ‘aggressive labor movement’, instead of adressing the scandals inside his company

  13. So Overwatch is not going to get the PvE mode. So the point of Overwatch 2 was literally to switch to micro transactions and battle pass 🙄 Talk about running a game into the ground

  14. IGN.com reports:
    "NLRB to File Complaint Against Activision Blizzard in Illegal Surveillance Case"

    The case is brought by the CWA as "Activision Blizzard threatened to cut off access to certain internal communication channels "because employees are discussing wages, hours, and working conditions."

  15. I know people have ~feelings~ about these types of acquisitions, I get it. But if #ABK is going to be sold (and someone is going to buy it), we might as well get #COD for the Switch out of it. twitter.com/bradsmi/status/162
