Anyhoo... here's an upvote πŸ˜‰

I miss Google Now... just swipe, and all the relevant information is there. No need to prompt it, no need to wait for a response, and no audio noise to get the information I need.

It was perfect for my needs.

yep... you're right... I didn't notice that. The story's still funny though (⁀ᗒ⁀)

edit: looking at it through Google Street View, the picture in the post was actually taken from the Sean O'Casey bridge XD

There was another version called Oddballz ... It had some weird beasts, but still very cute πŸ₯Ί

Hyperion is the first book in a 4-book series: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

If I recall correctly, the first two were supposed to be one book, but were split to two because the publisher wanted more money or something to that effect. So finishing the first book leaves you effectively hanging with a lot of unresolved threads.

By itself, Hyperion seems like a collection of loosely related stories in the same universe. But the rest of the books in the series answer a lot (if not all, read it a long time ago) of the question and threads in the first book.

I can't go into much detail without [mildly] spoiling the series, so I'll just say this: the story is told by different speakers, but it all ties in pretty well.

Indeed - users that need accessable features should not rely on each piece of software they use to supply them. But even as a one-off feature, it is a good thing to have IMO, as it will certainly expose APIs and hooks in vscode for other accessibility software to utilize.

Also, open source, learning, and all that jazz.

You may not find a use for it, and neither do I in my workflow. But think about accessibility - it might enable some users to perform tasks the find physically difficult using just their voice.

Or, you can go get a beer or a [slice of] pizza, and call out to vscode from across the room to build your app or start a server or something.

A bit more about the history and current state of Iqrit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iqrit

Israel and the IDF won't allow people to return to their lands there since 1948, and now they're using it to cry foul.
