Fun fact: about 2/3 of the apps in our repository are confirmed as #ReproducibleBuilds – and (rough guess) about 90% of those are hosted at Github.
Now: Github being marked "malicious" by Google "Safebrowsing" – when? That's where all the malicious code lives then, no? And where all those (90%) "malicious" APKs are attached to releases (which we scrutinize with a bunch of extra scans; you can compare the file hashes to confirm) 🤔
We are slowly building a fully standardized, scalable and coherent social network, step by step 🏗️
All the interactions between the apps and platforms are strictly defined in XMPP
Stories for example are defined in this simple extension: xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.h….
And for the first time two totally different clients are sharing Stories, in real time, without any adaptation in between ✨
..and everything is stored on your XMPP account! 🔒 Checkout the Stories integration in @monocles 🤩
#XMPP has never been so alive ♥️

Hello @fastfinge and others, I added two new tools to /tools in the SpeechPlayer Repository. Let me know if these can help you:
formant_trajectory.py — The Visualizer
This is an accurate Python port of frame.cpp's FrameManager.
python formant_trajectory.py --packs /path/to/packs --text "hello world" --voice en-gb --out trajectory.png --wav audio.wav
python formant_trajectory.py --packs /path/to/packs --ipa "həˈləʊ" --out trajectory.png --show
# Vowel space plot
python formant_trajectory.py --packs /path/to/packs --text "beat bit bet bat bot" --vowel-space vowels.png
frame_inspector.py — The Debugger
For when you need to understand why a transition sounds wrong:
# Dump a single phoneme's frame parameters
python frame_inspector.py --packs /path/to/packs dump a
# Compare two phonemes side-by-side
python frame_inspector.py --packs /path/to/packs compare a i --fade 10
# Trace the exact interpolation sample-by-sample
python frame_inspector.py --packs /path/to/packs trace a i --duration 100 --fade 10 --out trace.png
# Find the most "violent" transitions in your phoneme set
python frame_inspector.py --packs /path/to/packs grid --phonemes a e i o u p t k s --metric f2_rate
# Estimate consonant locus (for coarticulation tuning)
python frame_inspector.py --packs /path/to/packs locus p --vowels a e i o u

The US has become fascist, and we Germans can say that... we have seen such surveillance methods being abused twice, in the past, with pen, paper and wiretapping. #Stasi #Gestapo #Thiel.
Their claim is: "We can generate any proof your law enforcement entities need."

Finally found a thing mostly resembling what I imagine a web zine to be.
I want to create something similar.
The criteria:
⁃ pulished in issues
⁃ sequential editorial design resembling printed media
⁃ simple and robust web technology only, should be readable on 10+ years old devices
⁃ niche and independent af
⁃ delightful
⁃ downloadable/replicable
⁃ privacy respecting
If you know more examples, pls show me.

Disclaimer: None of this is written by AI, I’m still a real person writing my own blog like its 1999 I finally figured out how to do Gigabit Ethernet over my existing phone wires. Powerline adapter…The HFT Guy
what if we just made more pixels, even if everything else like the color, the sky, even the hair is completely wrong
Quick poll, means nothing, except I'm fucking old, 😅
When I say MJ, you understand that to mean:
I often ask myself, "What would Tony Levin do?"
#bass
I went through this with a track I was writing for our last album- I had a guitar, vocal and drum machine demo. I thought “what would Tony Levin do?” And it didn’t work. Then I thought “What would Colin Mouding do?” and I was getting all wrapped up in the idea, and nothing came of it. The third thought was “What would Chris Vreeland do?” And the track flowed like water. It’s busy as fuck, but that’s me. 🙂
A phrase I just came across...
"Recognize that your compassion is a form of resistance."
It may not be sufficient, do more if you can, but it is necessary, and valuable.
What's happening in Minnesota is an escalation of things that have happened in other cities - Chicago, Portland, LA, DC. It could be coming to your city next.
I don't say that to scare you. But it might be good to ask yourself:
If this was happening in my neighborhood, who would I reach out to? How would I take action? Who would I trust?
Start building those connections now. If you already have some, strengthen them.
Omg my mom. She goes from text messages to emails, to Whatsapp, to Messenger to talk to me.
Please choose one 😆
This is insane…

It’s literally unprecedented.
