I have lots of annotated paper books and I'd like to save the annotations. Tried scanning but it's slow and very bad with pencil. Thoughts?
hahaha.
Many of them are precious (to me) thoughts. I want them backed up while staying accessible enough for research.
Oui c’est pas très pratique. Un des problèmes avec le scan est que la lumière se reflète sur le graphite.
Je me demande du coup si ça marcherait juste de prendre des photos. Mais bon, il faudrait que j’aie un appareil pour tester :)
Je sais, mais si c’est le seul truc qui marche je peux m’y coller. 10-20 minutes ici ou là ça se trouve. Mais il faut que ça marche!
Ça ne concerne que des livres scientifiques. Je suis repassé au papier pour tout ce qui contient des maths, malheureusement.
Hmmmm. I don’t really know the world of universities well :) Is that common equipment?
Thanks! I’ll try to remember who I know who has access to universities here and ask. Maybe I should’ve attended more :)
Ouais, pareil!
Accessibility question: I see some sites (eg. cnnumerique.fr/accessibilite/) offering their own vocal synth as an #a11y feature. Is it really?
↺ 1
Ha! Book of the Subgenius. Man it’s been a while.
A most excellent choice. Maybe follow it up with the Illuminatus trilogy, or is it too soon?
That’s what’s unclear to me. I’d expect that whoever needs synth would already have it, no? @stevefaulkner
Yeah, that was my thinking (although you have to actively select-click activate it). @stevefaulkner
I strongly suspect this is just someone who’s found a way of making an extra dime selling «accessibility». @stevefaulkner
You’d think so — but the way to get to the page that explains it is through a «visually impaired» link… @stevefaulkner
Ok, but wouldn’t the logical thing be to equip the UA rather than every site in different ways? @stevefaulkner
So potentially a bit useful, but shouldn’t be hidden behind a «visually impaired» link :)
It’s… special :) Have you read the Illuminatus trilogy? @brucel
In this case I’m not sure that the UX of having to select text to synth it makes for a great mobile experience… @patrick_h_lauke

Isn't @firefox Sync somehow guaranteed against snooping from Mozilla? Also I think you can setup your own server.

Oui je sais, mais les utilisateurs de banques en ligne ont l’air contents (genre Boursorama).
Oui, ceci dit vu le mail que je suis sur le point d’envoyer à ma banque ils vont peut-être comprendre…
Thanks, but I don’t care about the theme. I just care that TabMix+ doesn’t work anymore, and the default tabs are… @SimonSapin
I crazily did it anyway and so far so good :)
Yeah, I think it’ll roundtrip fine. I’ll just have to wait until this is fixed; it shouldn’t be for too many versions.
Thanks for looking :) But tried that, no luck sadly. I’m back to v28 and happy! @SimonSapin

That's the wrong naming then, you're always requesting stuff in that sense in an API :-) @domenic

Your option requires centralised control, @dontcallmeDOM’s is vernacular. @domenic

Is there a way to get Firefox to use different search engines for the address bar and search bar? It used to work that way, now broken :(
Thanks, but this isn’t a malfunction; it’s a deliberate change of behaviour (that’s unfortunate).
Ah, I finally found the related Firefox bug: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?i…. Man is this a stupid decision :(
Yeah, I was looking precisely at that. Shame though, a browser should be useful by default IMHO.
It’s fine that they have partnerships; in this case I think it’s just a daft UI decision.
No, the alternative is to use keywords… And I don’t think it was intended to help Google, it looks like just bad thinking.
Ben, si c’est le but, il fallait virer la barre de search et mettre une icône dans la barre d’adresse.
