I see what you mean, and it's not ideal.

Two redeeming factors are that the “is” translates better. And that the overlap between {those “fit enough” people} and {people without any frame of reference as to how far 450 feet is} may be small. …though maybe not… heh

It’s no big deallll

Could use this if really desired:

Quick and dirty from me too :)

Hey, if you do edit that URL in, re: title would note it’s like… something like:

Windows dropped this whole W11 version before ending life support for W10 lmao

Do you have a reasonable alternative solution to teach pedestrians lessons?

Ah I see!

Convenience ought to have helped too! Though yes when the person with that monopoly on violence thing asks, you do.

Culprit:

Apparently not even the first time it’s happened to him:

 

This Siri Shortcut, Open URL in Private Tab (Safari iOS), Opens a URL from Share Sheet or Clipboard in Private Safari Tab

Using this method can improve your chances of maintaining your privacy on your iPhone.

Does this exist?

I would love to activate an iOS shortcut that instantly begins dictation, allows me to tap to stop dictation, and then pastes the transcript into a specified text field. For an added benefit, it would be great to view the live transcript to help maintain my train of thought.

I would like it to use the best available free offline transcription software (e.g. OpenAI Whisper) as well.

Inspirations include:

  • Whisper shortcut by Giacomo Melzi - online, very inexpensive, but not offline/live. Requires OpenAI API key ($0.006 / minute, thirty-six cents an hour)

  • Ecco Dictate app - offline (private!), but not live nor able to be opened and autostart via shortcut

(Here I’ll mention… If you have never used dictation beyond Apple’s built-in offering, it may be hard for you to imagine just how much you are missing 🙂 If Apple doesn’t catch up by iOS 18 I will send them such a firm yet polite piece of feedback!)

Note: Because my ideal solution is all but guaranteed to require an app and not just a shortcut, I’m mainly wondering if there is an app that supports shortcuts as described. Planning to reach out to the author of Ecco Dictate, perhaps after checking with you friendly folks.

Thank you!


UPDATE:

Near perfection found.

Free offline OpenAI Whisper transcription to clipboard for easy pasting in any app!

Aiko (link is to the shortcuts the developer provides)

(Apparently if you’re not on iOS 17.5 you need to use a workaround when launching these shortcuts using Siri by voice… Have to add Dismiss Siri And Continue + Open App action and have it Open Shortcuts.)

All that’s missing is live transcription, which is available with online/paid transcription apps but no offline apps I’ve found on iOS. (MacWhisper does feature live offline transcription in any field, but only on Mac for $30+.)

xkcd #2940: Modes of Transportation

Explain xkcd #2940

Title Text:

My bold criticism might anger the hot air balloon people, which would be a real concern if any of them lived along a very narrow line directly upwind of me.

alt-text:A chart that categorizes various modes of transportation based on their practicality and danger level:

Zone of Practicality:

  • Trains
  • Airliners
  • Boats
  • Walking
  • Cars
  • Scooters
  • Bicycles

Zone of Specialty and Recreational Vehicles:

  • Motorcycles
  • Helicopters
  • Light aircraft
  • Go karts
  • Skateboards
  • Rollerblades
  • Skis
  • Unicycles
  • Sleds
  • Bumper cars

?????:

  • Hot air balloons

“Hot air balloons are the optimal mode of transportation, if your optimization algorithm has a sign error.”

 
 

Y’all use these words, or averse to them? Believe there’s any downsides to using them in the fediverse?

As irreverent as I like to be, somebody or something has managed to train me to avoid these two words.

For retard, it seemed common twenty years ago, then it seemed people took offense (outside of WallStreetBets), now I’ll see it occasionally highly upvoted here.

btw, I’m pretty sure “don’t be a jerk” fits my m.o. better than “snowflake” but I’m always willing to update my perspective :)

What. The. Fuck? Have some class, bitch.


That last word isn't in my vocabulary cuz potential sexism

That piece of shit should have some class


You're right. I shouldn't have used that word. I can be more creative.


Cheers bitch !

alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn't use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang).

Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America's little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via your banking app, but come on - look how absolutely great it is to be European:

The American mind cannot comprehend this diagram

[Diagram of paper sizes as listed below]

Instead, Americans prostrate themselves to bizarrely-named paper types of seemingly random size: Letter, Legal, Tabloid (Ledger) and all other types of sordid nonsense. We're not even going to include a picture because this is a family-friendly finance blog.
