MAGICAL GOOGLE HACK:

intext:"thing you actually want to search for"

should work for at least another ten minutes, until they find a way to enshittify that too

Doctor: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?
Patient: Good news please.
Doctor: we're naming a disease after you.

I know this is quite odd, but it's really just a shot in the dark so I don't reinvent the wheel. I'm sure someone has already done this and undoubtedly done it better than the way I want to. I am #blind and want to bring the HDMI output of one computer, running its UEFI configuration interface, to another computer, and then send the image of that output to OpenAI's #LLM so it can tell me what is selected, what is on the screen, and so on. This is so I can get access to the UEFI on machines, both to install systems and during those times when the machine doesn't boot and there's no sighted person around. I know of no #a11y method for blind users with #UEFI. My thinking is that a capture card would allow this. Has anyone managed this sort of thing on a windows machine? I don't mean to limit to the UEFI input, any sort of visual input from which static images are routed to a LLM from a capture card/visual input would be good to hear about. If so, I would be very grateful for any ideas on both the card and software to use, particularly so that the image is clear to the model. Thanks for having a look at what I'm sure is a very strange request.

I told a joke on a Zoom meeting and no one laughed
Turns out I’m not remotely funny!

I just wanted to bring to your attention that in Norway speed bumps are called Farts Humper.

Carry on.

So glad we fucked the environment into a cocked hat, so that I could spend time picking recycling up because the bin was blown over.

Sorting through the photos taken over the last couple of weeks. Found a last wee collection to share from the trip where we met the Mighty Borb. I am very fond of the reflections in the water.

Dave Mills created NTP, the protocol that holds the temporal Internet together, in 1985.

Sometimes I find wee spots in the trees that look like the best spots to sit and have a cuppa and watch the world go by. I love this miniature lichen-tree.
