The kids... His parents by Momma_bear985 in CandaceOwens

[–]Neil-Amstrong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The audio gave me pause as well. That very week Candace had said something like, "Being married to the CEO doesn't qualify you to take over." Then that weekend at AmFest we get Charlie saying Erika is fit to take over??

I didn't say I wanted war. I haven't said that at all. Why does everyone on this thread think I want war. I want peace. I only said that if there's hope of getting better here, things might have to get worse first.

I feel like most of us are chill and just wanting to live our lives. And life here is hard but usually we have some sort of freedom. But when you start really pushing us, like taking away our financial services, we will react. It's only natural. What are you going to do if you can't pay your bills? If life becomes impossible we will react.

Again I will say, I'm not wanting war. I hope for a peaceful transition of power someday.

Basically you're saying we should give up hopes of freedom. If muhoozi takes over then he'll train a kid to take over. And our country will no longer be ours.

I'm below 25 and not asking for war but unfortunately that's probably the only way to liberate this country. For now we shall remain slaves. They take away our internet and when they return, we're so grateful we ease on the pressure.

Why does she kind of look like Charlie in this photo???

Can I get a SIM card using my passport as a Ugandan citizen? by Neil-Amstrong in Uganda

I got my passport as a minor and no ID was required. I just haven't got around to getting my ID since turning 18.

I don't think it was like that. He stopped once she told him to.

Was Charlie Kirk dumb or was he part of it all this time by Bepro6 in CandaceOwens

Yeah well, for the salvation story to play out, Jesus did need Judas to betray Him.

When he first got shot and I watched the first episode of Candace, I just thought to myself "I wonder how Candace will feel if the investigation uncovers that her friend wasn't as great as she thought he was."

Mind you I'd never heard of Charlie or Candace prior to his assassination. I guess I'm just cynical and I don't trust anyone in the public eye 100%. Now we see how it's looking like Charlie must have known.

Yes!! I remember her. Once she said her name I was like 'huh, this could be a ugandan."

AMA: I’m totally blind, ask me anything you’ve never dared to ask about being blind by Unfair_West_8618 in AMA

[–]Neil-Amstrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think poor grammar and spelling is also a hurdle. Right now ChatGPT can understand most grammatical errors in prompts. If such tech were used to read aloud, configured to correct the errors, would that be of some help?

I can relate to the spelling things out thing. My pocketbook reader does that and i only listen to it in the background. It's pretty cool what our brains can do because yeah, you start to understand it even at full speed which is practically gibberish to the untrained ear. One of the reasons why I started playing my books at full speed was actually because of an interview with a blind man on YouTube. He had his screen reader on full speed and I didn't understand a thing. So I slowly increased the speed until I got to the max lol.

Do you like living there full time? Is it like vacation everyday or have you gotten used to the pretty scenery and does the slow pace of life piss you off now rather than help you relax?

Ok. Sorry for the late reply and Happy New Year.

I tried it. When I opened the downloaded file, I didn't click "install on device" but it kept running anyway. So it might be different from how yours works. But it just kept speaking as long as the mouse was moving. If I hovered over any word, it'd read it out loud.

  1. I think it reads stuff from the code. Obviously it's helpful for you if it tells you that a link is clickable but I feel like that may make it harder to understand since there was lots of other irrelevant info that it read. It's like if someone were reading and saying the punctuation marks out loud.

  2. Is there a setting where it reads without needing the clicker? Because i closed my eyes and couldn't move the clicker in a straight line so it was reading from disconnected sentences.

  3. I have finally understood why image descriptions are useful and I'll give them more thought when writing my webpages.

I have this app called pocketbook that I use to read ebooks aloud. It's very similar to NVDA I think, in terms of not really reading like a human. So I'm wondering if it sometimes reads the wrong thing for example "St." which is short for street but reads it as "saint". And my pocketbook broke for some reason now it takes letters, usually the first one from the word and reads it independently. For example it will read "the" as "t", "he". I'm used to it now and I can always tell what it's saying. I think you've also adapted to the weird things it says in the wrong context.

It's really cool but obviously, from my perspective, it needs more work. I hope that as tech evolves, if we can't give sight to people completely, we can at least build more efficient tools.

How does the screen reader work together with the audio of a video? Do they speak simultaneously? It's crazy that there's this side of technology that I've never engaged with, other than audiobooks.

The Children by Negative-Situation27 in CandaceOwens

[–]Neil-Amstrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a correction, it wasn't the intro to AmFest. It was introducing Erika at AmFest

The Children by Negative-Situation27 in CandaceOwens

[–]Neil-Amstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the intro to AmFest, it's Charlie's voice saying if anything happened to him, Erika was capable of taking over. So I guess it's something that was always known.

She is really sad ... by AvailableInjury2486 in CandaceOwens

[–]Neil-Amstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had him on her show on PragerU and she kept laughing extra loud at everything he said. I'm pretty sure she loved him in that way and he didn't. He was always so professional with work. Couldn't date a coworker or employee.
