Die @SunDial79 und ich haben gestern Abend über eine Stunde über Audio-Equipment und Podcasting abgenerdet. Hat spaß gemacht. Wir haben #Studiolink mit #REAPER Getestet, wobei jede Person einmal Host und einmal Anrufender war. Da wir beide blind sind, können wir das #ultraschall Add-On nicht nutzen, sondern müssen das Routing usw. von Hand konfigurieren. Hat alles gut geklappt. Nur die Weboberfläche hat doch diverse Probleme, die ich in den nächsten Tagen reporten werde. CC @sreimers
Guten Morgen. Studiolink ist ein gutes Programm. Wenn du, Marco, da ein bisschen auf Barrierefreiheit achtest, fände ich das klasse. Ich würde es gern öfter einsetzen für Gespräche für den Ohrfunk.
Wir haben das VST-Plugin mit der REAPER Audiosoftware getestet. Die Probleme liegen im HTML der Webseite, die sich öffnet, sobald das Plugin als Effekt instanziiert wird. Der „Mix“-Button z.B. sagt nicht, ob er mono, stereo oder den dritten Zustand hat. Und wenn man als Gast die Quick-URL aufruft, gibt es da gefühlt auch ein paar Dinge, die checkboxen sein sollten, aber nur anklickbare Elemente sind. Aber Sebastian müsste sagen, wo er die Issues haben will.
@Mespotine Nein, habe ich nicht. Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich über die Feiertage die Energie aufbringen kann, mir das genauer anzuschauen, weil da tatsächlich mehrere Sachen problematisch waren und ich aber dafür auch eine zweite Person in einem Gespräch brauche, um bestimmte Teile der UI überhaupt unter den Screen Reader zu bekommen. (1/2)
Ich hatte nur mal dieses Rooms oder wie das heißt ausprobiert, was in Beta ist, und das war irgendwie auch nicht ganz sauber, aber das war wirklich nur ein schnelles Drüberfliegen. (2/2)
@Mespotine Noch ein ganz wichtiger Hinweis für Ultraschall 6: Passt bitte auf, dass ihr bei installierter OSARA Extension kompatibel bleibt. Blinde mit REAPER nutzen OSARA ohne Ausnahme. Schau hier für Infos und den Source: github.com/jcsteh/osara
Ja, Osarakompatibilität ist ganz oben mit dabei. Die Extension ist überhaupt der Grund, weshalb wir endlich uns an Accessibility ranwagen können. Ohne wäre es undenkbar zu machen.
@Mespotine Und falls ihr was in OSARA integrieren wollt/müsst, damit es mit Ultraschall 6 noch besser läuft, und das mit nichts anderem kollidiert, bin ich mir sicher, dass die Maintainer den Code auch akzeptieren werden. Ich freue mich darüber, dass OSARA diese Auswirkung auf euer Projekt hat. Ich habe von Ultraschall vor 10 Jahren auf einem Podlove-Treffen in Berlin das erste Mal gehört und war sehr traurig, dass es nicht zugänglich ist.
Eine Gruppe JournalistInnen hat kreativ mehrfach einen Claude-gesteuerten Snack-Automaten überredet, die Ware zu verschenken. Vielleicht ja auch schön, dass wir jetzt mit natürlicher Sprache hacken können. 🤷🏻♂️
“India Street Lettering, the new book by type designer and lettering artist Pooja Saxena, is a warm, thoughtful look at the signs that quietly shape India’s streets... It’s part archive, part love letter, and a deeply satisfying record of India’s everyday typography.”

Hice un dibujo 1:1 de las puertas del zapatero, para poder posicionar bien las tiritas de la rejilla y luego poder transferir los tamaños al escantillón. Me encanta poder sacar juntas la reglota y escuadrota de madera; son ligeras y precisas y es lindo usar herramientas que hizo uno mismo. #carpintería
El siguiente paso es cortar todas las chingadas tiritas. Primero serruché tablas que eran de poco más de 3/4" de grosor, en tiras de poco más de 3/8". Luego las corté a la longitud de las tiritas de las puertas. #carpintería
Luego, hice una pequeña utilería para tener una guía para cepillar las tiritas al ancho y grosor correctos. Se hace con dos rieles para lo ancho del cepillo, y dos tiritas laterales que tienen la altura correcta. El cepillo se desliza sobre esas tiritas. #carpintería
There are two types of software devs in December end: 1. Those who respect the Code Freeze. 2. Those who spend Christmas Eve or rest of the holidays stuck in their childhood room, trying to SSH into a production server over their parents' ADSL while their better half stares stares at them with pure annoyance from the hallway.

There were rumblings about this for a while, but it looks like the Trump TikTok deal is done, and it’s somehow the worst of all possible outcomes, amazingly making all of the biggest criticis…
@adguard I knew I liked you guys for a reason. So cool, thank you! AdGuard VPN for Windows v2.8: Now with accessibility support December 18, 2025 We’re excited to bring you a new version of AdGuard VPN for Windows — one that meaningfully improves comfort, usability, and inclusivity.

You say — we do Thank you for staying with us. As always, if you have suggestions or any requests, feel free to share them on social media or on GitHub! Your feedback helps shape the future of AdGuard VPN.
Just wait until these guys learn about how companies like Apple buy future years worth of hardware and fab time for stuff that hasn't been sold yet or doesn't even exist
Or I don't know, the entire concept of futures contracts. Did you know they've even proposed the idea of organ futures for human organs ? RT: mastodon.social/users/mhoye/st…
To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".
What’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.
“Well only use it when you’re already an expert!”
None of the people starting their careers using this technology are experts yet, nor will the ever be.
And within some finite amount of time nether will you, the expert, be an expert anymore.
Törmäsin Linkkarissa uuteen, kotimaiseen äänikirjapalveluun, josta voi ostaa kirjoja yksittäiskappaleina. He lisäksi lupaavat reilumpaa korvausta tekijöille. Toistaiseksi vain Aviadorin ja Aula & co teoksia tarjolla, mutta mielenkiinnolla seuraan, miten tämä lähtee kehittymään. 🤔
Lukuaikapalvelut ovat pienentäneet kirjailijoiden tuloja, joten Kuulokuva tarjoaa vastavoiman: äänikirjojen kappalemyynnin. Kuulokuvassa äänikirjat tuottavat yhtä hyvin kuin paperikirjat. Kuulokuva laajentuu kustantamosta äänikirjakaupaksi.
DVV julkaisi listan 100-vuotiaista henkilöistä, joista heillä ei ole mitään ajantasaista tietoa ja jotka julistetaan kuolleiksi, jos muuta tietoa ei ilmene. Tuli erikoinen olo tätä listaa lukiessa. Keitä nämä ihmiset olivat? Mihin heidän jälkensä päättyvät? Miksi DVV ei tiedä näistä ihmisistä mitään? dvv.fi/julkiset-kuulutukset
Kokeilin hakea ensimmäisiä listassa vastaan tulleita nimiä, jotka olivat syntyneet Viipurissa - Ahokas Vieno ja Vilho. Erittäin helposti löytyi heidän kohtalonsa: muuttaneet Kanadaan 50-luvulla, kuolleet siellä. Mitään virallista tietoa kuolemista tai varmaan edes muutosta tuskin on Suomen viranomaisille toimitettu. Ehkäpä 100-vuotiaiden "kadonneiden" selityksenä on useinkin tämmöinen.
Armeijalla toisaalta voisi luulla olleen hyvä kirjanpito, eli kadonneiksi merkityt tuskin olisivat tällä listalla. Todennäköisempi teoria lienee tuo tässä threadissa aiemmin mainittu, eli on muutettu ulkomaille ja tieto kuolemasta ei ole koskaan saavuttanut Suomen viranomaisia.
Short and succinct, @neil lays down the incredible danger of the UK's current political talk about "banning under 16y olds" from using online services.
UK's "age assurance" is similar to #chatcontrol 's "age verification" plans: the end of privacy when using online services. Basically policing everywhere demanding "show me your passport!" before you can cross the street to a web shop or forum.
Earlier this week, I wrote about a proposed legislative amendment to attempt to compel VPN services providers to prevent anyone under 18 in the UK from using their VPNs.
I like .onion and .i2p addresses because all else being equal the government can't find the identity of the website owner and therefore can't enforce laws on them
I have a genuine question: What is then the solution to preventing minors from being exposed to digital content that is deeply harmful to their brain and overall development?
Saying this because quite clearly clicking "Yes, I am 18" is a pseudo-check that doesn't actually do anything.
>Oh I don't know, like everybody?? And I wouldn't want it any other way. Better than a bunch of Python scripts or systemd-resolvd/NetworkManager fiddling with it.

Would you believe there’s a new installment of the Taming the Terminal podcast out today? 5 years ago, @bart had taught us everything he’d planned, so we set the show aside until he had new material. If you’ve always wanted to know how to use the Terminal but thought it was too intimidating, or if you just want to be better with it, this is the show for you. Head over to the link below or subscribe in your podcatcher of choice!
I have 2-3 packages with at least different 2 couriers out for delivery today which means a minimum of 2 trucks driving to my door and it's so fucking dumb that instead of legally mandating Canada Post be used for the last mile instead the Liberals want to kill Canada Post and end door-to-door delivery.
Hear hear! Five different delivery trucks ply my street on a daily basis, each delivering one or two packages, and I thinking the town could mandate that they all stick all those packages in one truck only. The post office truck is a good one to carry it all. But Oh. My. God. the shock if you propose such a thing.
Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation. It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.
Mildly curious, what do people use for mastodon on windows at this point? Asking this because my client of choice, enafore, seems to crash or refuse to load when quotes come on my home timeline (or that's what I assume breaks it), and semaphore doesn't play sounds when new notifications come in, an enafore feature I got a bit attached to lol. I really like the pinafore/semaphore/enafore line, but the tradeoff of either random breakage or lack of sounds is admittedly bothering me.

Okay, I'm loving this gitlab CLI. I'm so glad that I know about it now. Of course, I need to figure out how to do things with it, but, for instance, I can just go into my at-spi2-core directory from the console and type glab mr update 220 --draft
Otherwise, I'd need to open gitlab.gnome.org in a browser, click the button to sign in, type in my username and password, get my phone out for the two-factor authentication, then find the control on the web page to do what I want.
Endlich! Das war ein Krampf über mehrere Tage, bis das endlich geklappt hat. Angeblich hätte ich immer noch irgendwelche Aktivitäten gehabt (die ich nicht hatte). Jetzt hat es geklappt, nachdem ich wiederholt den Antrag gestellt hatte. Und gleichzeitig habe ich drei Dutzend Bestätigungsmails ins Postfach gespült bekommen, dass Zahlungen im Einzugsverfahren storniert worden wären, die ich irgendwann als junger Mann mal stattgegeben hatte.
