Lidé z #Fediverse v #Czech co kdybychom se společně podíleli na překladu stránky fedidevs.com/starter-packs/ jako jsme to spolu udělali s vstupdofediverse.cz? Vzal bych anglický překlad a hodil ho někam do cryptpadu nebo někam kde lze udělat kolaboraci a pak bych udělal pull-request s českou lokalizací. Líbí se mi možnost vytvořit starter-packy pro českou komunitu a tohle je první krok. Co vy na to?

Guten Morgen Welt! Ich bemerke, wie meine Timeline hier zunehmend twitteresk, voller Aktionismus und Politik, wird. Manche werden das begrüßen, ich wollte das nicht. Das #Fediverse zeichnet sich für mich durch Maker*innen und Kreative aus. Ich habe auch andere Accounts, die anders aussehen, deswegen sollte ich hier meine Followings wohl ein wenig überarbeiten.
in reply to Johannes Brakensiek

Manchmal fühle ich mich bei so Sachen an die 90iger erinnert. Ein Großteil derer, die in den Jahren davor im Osten für eine andere Gesellschaft eingetreten sind, wurden durch eine Mehrheit mit anderen Zielen quasi überrrannt... Da ist bei mir etwas Ernüchterung, nat. auch Enttäuschung, geblieben.

Technik löst solche menschlichen Probleme wohl nicht, trotzdem versuche ich mir mit Technik zu behelfen. 😆
Schon in Twitterzeiten hab ich #Listen intensiv genutzt, später auch bei Mastodon und seit ein paar Jahren mit Sharkey.

Die normale Timeline checke ich nur sporadisch, aber auch nur die der Follower. Die allg. Timeline betrachte ich so gut wie nie.

Und in den Listen habe ich überwiegend ReToots ausgeschaltet.

Baue ich mir damit eine heile Welt?

Ich denke, man muss sich darüber Gedanken machen, welche Ziele man verfolgt, und abwägen, was man leisten kann und möchte, auch Kräftemäßig.

Vielleicht ist dann eine positive Begegnung mit Einzelnen durchaus auch weitreichender.

Ich nehme den Vers aus dem Evangelium Wo zwei oder drei.. immer seltener als Entschuldigung für die Wenigen, als vielmehr als Ermutigung für die Kraft der Wenigen war ...

@Tutanota Hey! Ich hab eine kleine Frage wie das bei Euch mit importierten E-Mails läuft.

Folgendes: Ich bin seit ca. einem Jahr auf dem Legend-Plan.

Da mein Speicherverbrauch aber immer nur zwischen 200 und 300MB oszilliert, hatte ich überlegt, auf Revolutionary downzugraden.

Ich hab gesehen, dass z.B. beim Switch auf einen Free-Plan auch alle importierten Mails aus dem Postfach gelöscht werden. Würde das beim Wechsel auf Revolutionary auch passieren? Da gibt's den Import ja (noch) nicht.

@Tuta

It seems like the era of DNS-based adblocking is over.

All the streaming & video sites work around or punitively block it. Recipe and news sites do the same. And because it was always a side channel, there’s no escalation for DNS-based systems to get on top again. The information is no longer being provided by the use of specific domains anymore (or their being null routed is easily detected).

This means active browser Adblocking is basically the only pub left in town.

This means commercial app environments like on phones and TVs are getting pretty hard to avoid ads in.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Yesterday, I got a Korg Monotron Delay. If anything can be said to be a synth fidget toy, that might be it, or at least a good start.

Gotta say, though, it's really, really noisy, which might actually be by design, at least in part, and very unshielded. It was picking up a bunch of digital hash from something which came and went as I moved it around. Turns out, it was my Airpods Pro.

Anyone have any experience with @Tutanota?

I created an account while on VPN and was told they needed to manually approve my account because people try to abuse their system using VPN.

Totally understand that. I was patient. Days later they denied me. Not with a notification, but by simply closing the account. Never even got to use it.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodonní bando! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐶
A jsem zpět mezi zdravými. V pondělí se vracím do pracovního procesu. Zatím ke mně proudily zprávy z bojiště a fakt se tam netěším.
Sněhu trochu napadlo, takže díky všem dodavatelům. Největší radost má Archibaldík. Miluje sníh. Rochní se v něm, hrabe, nasává. Nejraději má sněhové koule. Akorát teda ty mrchy po dopadu vždycky někam zmizí. Takže pokud si nezapamatuje místo dopadu, hrabe s vervou na úplně jiném místě. Zítra zase vyrazíme. Tentokrát za mnou kšírky nadarmo tahat nebude.
Vy si naplánujte taky na víkend něco hodně příjemného, ať se máte na co těšit.

Are you ready for a party? How about a Side Party? What? Well, SideParty version 0.82 is now released! What's new? Well, feast your eyes, hands, nose, and/or ears on this!

Add a new difficulty level, simply called, Nope! Figure this one out for yourselves! Muhahahaha!

In addition to this, upgrade to a vastly improved touch include from Aryan (@Aryan) which dramatically improves the gameplay on Android. Finally, add the ability to record your game sessions, thanks to NVGT's new soundsystem! Also, the usual bugfixes and junk. masonasons.itch.io/sideparty

@FastSM One more suggestion. Currently if we press Enter on a post, FastSM will trigger the View post context menu. But, IMO, it would be better to dedicate another keyboard shortcut, like ALT+V, to it. The Enter key, instead, could open the URL in the post if it's the only URL. If several URLs exist, FastSM should display them in a list. As things stand right now, with FastSM viewing posts is easier than accessing/ opening links.
in reply to Mister Krabs

Ableton, if I do any. Used to use audacity but accessibility got worse, they're working on it though and I guess for very basic and quick stuff it can be enough, nothing crazy though. The typical audio blindie would probably say Reaper, but I haven't seen any Reaper tutorial that would speak to me personally, yes I know about Reaper access and all that stuff, so it's just too overwhelming and big for me. Goldwave is also there, and I guess a decent option, as I said I barely edit any audio currently though so....

I discovered LogicMagician thanks to @ky0les and now I'm having entirely, entirely too much fun. logic.band

We've built our own text-to-speech system with an initial English language model we trained ourselves with fully open source data. It will be added to our App Store soon and then included in GrapheneOS as a default enabled TTS backend once some more improvements are made to it.

in reply to Breizh

@breizh It wasn't quite good enough and has very high latency which makes it unsuitable for use with TalkBack. We're making this because existing options including Sherpa don't meet our requirements. Otherwise, we could have forked those. It made more sense to make our own instead which we'll be able to continue improving long term. It's similar to our network location and geocoding implementations where we want things done a particular way focused on high quality in all areas we care about.
in reply to GrapheneOS

@GrapheneOS I'm interested in having working open-source #TTS for Slovak language in the future. I my-self am not proficient enough to create my own high quality engine but I think I still might be helpfull. During all these years I've been contributing to eSpeak-ng slovak language support and recently with friends @ondrosik and @Zvonimir Stanecic we are contributing to #RHVoice.
Thus I will be watching the development of your TTS engine to find out if it can be trained using a homelab setup and if adding support for the language is something I might be able to help with.
Thank you for this news and all the hard work you've put into it.

Oh quirky and learned Mastodonians, I come before you with a dream. Funded by the Canada Counsel for the Arts, I’m researching Friedrich Dulon and Maria Theresia Von Paradis, both 18th century European musicians renowned in their time, and both Blind. I’m looking for info about a German translator and writer of the time, Pfeffel, who was also Blind. I’d love to find some of his fables in English. Dulon met and admired him, and Leopold Kozeluch created a secular cantata for Maria Theresia von Paradis, setting Pfeffel's German text ("Ich war ein kleines Würmchen") to music. If anyone who likes digging and is multi-lingual could uncover this piece of music or his fables in any form accessible to an English speaker, I’d love to be able to incorporate it into story writing, storytelling, or even singing. As a Blind person myself I'm really interested in bringing their work to life for a modern audience, but I'm mono-lingual, and a terrible researcher. Please boost for reach.
