@dodecahedron Oh lol, well there's that then. The sleep app should give you a run-down on how you slept pretty much every morning. This is a new thing.
@mcourcel @dodecahedron it does! I just didn't realize it worked without you having to set up like schedules and stuff. But now I will definitely be checking that out now
@oschonrock - looking at the code, this seems to be a hardened version of the original function? Is there a case to include the in the original lib? (Maybe as a new function if there could be backwards compatibility issues)
Interesting to see that the graph is not strictly decreasing — meaning that there were commits that added new strcpy() lines as late as this year, despite the projects' review efforts. 🤔
Nonetheless, congrats on reaching 0%. Is there a plan to prevent calls to "bad" functions from sneaking back in again?
I just tried out the new Supertonic TTS for 64-bit NVDA, and I was more impressed with it than I thought. It is a local neural TTS, with as of right now, 10 voices that are English only, , (five female, five male, four American and one British per gender), and my favorite is F3. What I find impressive is that when the speech quality control value is at its lowest, it still sounds decent, though due to the nature of neural TTS engines, just like Sonata, the longer the paragraph, the longer the delay.
Invalid font tables (eg. GSUB/GPOS) are outright rejected, instead of partially validated and used. This behavior is different from DirectWrite and HarfRust, and is in line with CoreText. For conte...
Modular étude. Four random minor pentatonic sequences from Clank Chaos, one pinging the VCFQ filter fed into the Sarajewo BBD delay (low), and three into the oscillators of Three Body, tuned an octave apart in free mode, with modest FM and PM cross-modulation dialed in. Mixed and fed through the Desmodus Versio for reverb.
@MariahL Audio quality for messages is also dumbed down to phone sound as well, when PC had superior audio. I'm still running the old version via a hack and I'll keep doing that until it doesn't work any longer.
Before doing all of this, make sure that you uninstall whatsapp that you installed from microsoft store. First download this zip file: drive.google.com/uc?id=12Z3kjH…
Enable developer mode in windows. Extract the wa folder from inside the zip file you downloaded to c:\. Open powershell and enter this command. Add-AppxPackage -Register "C:\WA\AppxManifest.xml"
@MariahL @FreakyFwoof I'm only seeing one in my task manager? I did hear some were seeing a bunch though. Damn. I too hate when they change things just because. I'm not saying I don't miss the old one. I did love it more. And I don't use it to send voice so I never new. Drat.
@mcourcel @munchkinbear @MariahL @FreakyFwoof So here's a question. Are you guys using the app with Web wrapper that uses edge, or are you using yuour browser of choice, such as Chrome, and going to web.whatsapp.com . I've been told it's about the same. And I know Edge is based on Chromium, but it feels different to me than Chrome.
@nycki96 @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @FreakyFwoof There are, (checks notes): 9 instances of the new Whatsapp in my task manager, the web version in Chrome doesn't run any better, yes this and everything else that uses the Edge wrapper is a resource hog, and no there isn't a hacky way to get the old release back. We're stuck with the new one.
Enable developer mode in windows. Extract the wa folder from inside the zip file you downloaded to c:\. Open powershell and enter this command. Add-AppxPackage -Register "C:\WA\AppxManifest.xml"
@munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel @MariahL @FreakyFwoof OK I stand corrected, but, who's providing this file, and why are you adding keys to your registry from an xml file you can't verify? Do you even know what keys you're adding? I mean I'm not going to tell you what risks to take with your system, but major potential to tank the whole thing just to avoid a shitty interface. This kind of stuff is how you get yourself into trouble.
@acarson @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL @FreakyFwoof Yeah I'm not doing it because who knows how long it will even work. Meta is eventually going to stop supporting that app, if they haven't already, and eventually, updates to the system and the Web interface will happen to make that app unuseable. Really, you're just prolonging the inevitable by doing this.
@nycki96 @acarson @munchkinbear @mcourcel @MariahL And keeping a satisfying workflow, and less CPU cycles in piss-poor coding in the meantime. I'll live with an older app even if it stops working tomorrow, it's one day more I get with something that wasn't coded by a 15 year old for work experience.
@FreakyFwoof @nycki96 @acarson @munchkinbear @mcourcel Agreed. If they force update me whatever, I've gotten okay with dealing with the new interface but I don't have to like it. I'll take my chances and use a workaround until I can't anymore.
@Aryan @munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel @MariahL @FreakyFwoof Sure, if you understand how to read XML. My point is that getting yourself into this sort of posture where you download software at random, make changes to your operating system that do things like change the type of updates you'll receive, and register keys you're not familiar with, all to avoid using an interface that, however bad it may be, is going to be forced on you for all sorts of apps. is pretty risky. And I'm saying this as someone who has absolutely bailed Shane out of messes he has gotten himself into by pressing buttons to see what happens instead of taking any sort of methodical approach.
@acarson @munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel @MariahL @FreakyFwoof well i meen you are correct, but we arn't just using randum files here. i myself extracted the whatsapp appxbundle, then extracted the spisific x64 file appx package from it, then modified it, then packaged it in to a zip file. people can examin all they want, and they really should when downloading things.
@Aryan @acarson @munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel @FreakyFwoof This was also put out there as a hey if you want to do this feel free because I know this is frustrating option, it wasn't forced on anyone.
@MariahL @Aryan @acarson @munchkinbear @nycki96 @mcourcel Yup. spent more time saying 'don't do it' than actually talking to people on WhatsApp at this point. GEtting old now. Do or don't, them's the options.
It's currently 70 degrees F here in central North Carolina, about 40 degrees F warmer than it is back home in NYC, where they got snow this morning. We'll be down into the upper teens and low twenties in a few days, though, as winter reminds us that, yes, it really does exist.
I decided I needed a new year's eve annoy toy, so I bought a 110dB hand-cranked siren. This will surely make me friendly with all the dogs in the neighborhood, no doubt.

Does anyone know how to do bidirectional sync between two file servers on #Linux? That is, if I add or modify a file on any one server, it propogates to the other one. Like DropBox or Google Drive.
I found rclone's bisync command but when I run it, it says it's experimental and I shouldn't run it "in production".
Ideally would prefer not to use the Nextcloud client...
found some nokia tune remix thing (yes, it was a midi) and it was in the midi files/phone tones section under the filename 07-patrick.mid. Which may mean...
something... Anyway I rendered it in the classic nokia soundfont and remixed it with suno and... It sounded weird xd

@Gianni@tweesecake.social @FrancisCole @mckensie @Winelectronic101 Hello, Gianni. This post will be reported to TweeseCake for sharing personal info, and being racist. Enjoy your ban!
@Gianni@tweesecake.social @FrancisCole @mckensie @Winelectronic101 Dude, you just used AI to create that yourself, because no way in hell did you just come up with that yourself. And you, telling people they can't use AI models? Hypocrite! Oh, and they don't have to solve that if they don't want to. And you can't force them to. By the way, if I really, really wanted to, I could pull up ChatGPT right now and answer that problem. And since, of course, you stupidly didn't put the text version of that problem, it's gonna be hard for me to transcribe that speech. Which is exactly why I'm not gonna even try. Because you know why? It's also irrelevant and it just wastes people's time!

Pat (wirkt, als ob er ein Problem mit Frauen hat) bittet mich, eine Tablette zu teilen. Die wäre so hart, wir hätten ja extra einen Zerteiler dafür. Nehme die Tablette, zerteile sie mit der Hand, gebe sie zurück. Erst erstaunter, dann böser Blick.
Recently, I've found that random apps on iOS will open and be unusable. VO thinks there's nothing on the screen, except the status bar, and while the home gesture works, it lags. This just happened, and I double tapped a status bar item to jump to the top of the screen. VO said this: page -9223372036854775808 of 9223372036854775807
Yep, I am seeing this a lot with apps such as Instagram, Meta AI and others. Which ones did you spot? I wish this behaviour was reproducible so that we can properly report it. I usually jump into Screen Recognition in such instances. This helps somewhat...
@vick21 Audible, Google Classroom, and one more that I have suddenly forgotten. It seems to be random, though, not tied to a specific app. Perhaps it's the apps that pull all their content from servers?

Good Saturday morning! It is very snowy outside. I think we got about 8 inches of the stuff. Needless to say I'm not going anywhere. Bruno is going out to clear the walkway and the driveway. Nothing else exciting for the day. Have a good one!
I think we got 3-4 inches where I'm staying. I don't like the snow. I don't like the cold. But, if I, like, met my person or something and they were up here, then I suppose I'd move back, and my family is up here, so I don't know what the future will bring. Anyway, I hope you had a nice Christmas!
