I've been using https://thenewsintwos.app/ for about two years and its a great no-cost app to add to a language learning toolkit to consume more in your target language. I only use the web version and I don't bother with its language plans, but its by line or word translation reveal in feed is slick. It sources Newser, which is not bad, but it'd be neat to have the functionality built into a feed reader - please let me know if that's already a thing.
#til after Dark Sky went down (#thanksapple) a Water Resource Engineering PhD student in Canada created a compatible weather service API called Pirate Weather and another Canadian used that API to build a web app that feels very similar to Dark Sky's called Merry Sky.
Finally finished listening to all the #fedivision2024 entries (and you should too https://fedivision.party). All of the songs had lots of talent, though here are my top ten categorized (badly) in no particular order:
That feeling when you are running a bit late so you rush to your bus stop to find the one bus that services your route passing by your stop several minutes early, and you left your bike at home that day. Oops! Luckily I have other options than a very long hike back, but I wish we weren't in such a chicken/egg problem of ridership/service so my metro could offer more than one a day per direction hit times on more routes (and more routes in general).
@NBAnthony2k I wish that was an always done on all routes thing, but I find the more infrequent a route (and therefore more useful to have the GPS information to make the connections) would be the less likely it is the driver is broadcasting their location in my metro.
For Europeans wanting to remove their data from #stackoverflow, wouldn't a GDPR deletion request do the trick? I wish we had real data privacy laws in my country.
#emacs#logseq anyone have a working setup with logseq (in orgdown) and #orgroam playing nice in logseq's folder (orgroam dailies in 'journals', etc)? Currently my vault is a mix of org and md but I'm hoping to at least get the org files recognized while I work on converting the md (or figure out #mdroam). I tried playing with org-logseq but even though I'm matching correctly on its grep for the folder and I have title properties I couldn't get it working after a good attempt. #askfedi
@Neblib I "kind of" do. I am using heavily modified org-roam-logseq.el though. There still are some issues, e.g. Logseq fails to recognize ID references as backlinks (linking itself works).
I was planning a blog post about my setup, but with recent news about Logseq DB development I am considering ditching it.
@wigol yeah the logseq db announcement was a bit disappointing for sure. Emacs 30 being on Android takes away some of the reasons for a logseq as the mobile end of a org workflow, especially if developer interest refines that mobile experience further.
#askfedi I remember someone posting awhile back about a #Firefox extension that collected #RSS feeds as you browsed, but I can't seem to find it anymore in the mastodon search or in Firefox's extension search. Anyone know of such an extension?
@paul Thanks for sharing! I'm pretty sure now I had imagined it by mixing memories of StreetPass, but it could still be done. I think something like StreetPass's approach but using similar detection that Awesome-RSS, SmartRSS, or similar uses to find the feed urls instead of mastodon profile urls, and then clicking in the extension you can see feed urls its collected and export to OPML for importing into your favorite reader. It'll be a someday project for me unless someone else builds it first.
