@treefit thanks! TIL. I develop and hack bluetooth devices for my day job so if i manage to reverse this scale (have not had time to try yet) i will contribute.
@treefit I have all the parts in stock to make one, I went and bought one because “why would i bother, when off the shelf is only $30”, well i know why i would bother now.
OK yall, those missing shakes from Sonic have arrived. Version 2025.5 of the bestspeech addon fixes the static problem I mentioned in my last couple of updates. It's recommended to update to this version so you don't get startled by a random burst of white noise when using bestspeech with rate boost, especially if you do not use NVDA with wasapi. github.com/samtupy/b32tts_wrap…

I put this up last night, and I probably will again next week. I had this crazy idea of a mastodon meet-up, virtually, where we could all order from a restaurant and eat together. If you think this sounds fun, feel free to fill this out, (don't worry, I'm not collecting too much info), and we'll see if we can get something planned! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
This is a form to see who might be interested in a meet-up lunch or dinner virtually. Please note, I only wish to collect name and/or mastodon username for the purposes of organization.
Looking for an #artist on the Fediverse who's accepting #commissions right now.
I need a logo for my FOSS project. The current logo is a placeholder I threw together so I'm looking for anything that's more stylish/creative. Here's the current logo and the only real requirement I have is that the K and the VM stand out since it's supposed to be a play on Linux KVM.
If you're interested please provide a portfolio of previous works you've done (preferably logos, but anything with text in it will do) and a quote if possible.

Hello everybody. You wanted Sonic? Here is your Sonic, complete with all day breakfast, burgers, chicken and a side for everyone. I'm happy to say that I have successfully implemented rate boost into the Bestspeech NVDA addon as requested! Feel free to grab github.com/samtupy/b32tts_wrap… to try it out. Have fun! Sonic is both the name of the algorithm we're using for rate boost as well as the name of a restaurant I enjoy sometimes, so I couldn't resist the word play haha.
love eating at Sonic! Although the foot-long Coney can give me horrible heartburn, thankfully not experiencing the same with this new fix. :D Huge thanks in getting this done, and while it does muffle consonants slightly, it's really only minor to me and with unvoiced volume at 90 it's good enough to be pleasant. Also love that this had no performance impact, that's superb :D

As is visible, about one third of all reviews came from mapcomplete, only a fraction less then mangrove.reviews itself.
It is also surprising that there are quite a few swiss websites in there.
No big surprises here, seems like food is by far the most popular theme to give reviews on.
Language
From the reviews that had a text, the language breakdown is pretty much in line with the changeset-language statistics.
English: 102
Dutch: 42
German: 37
Russian: 14
French: 12
Locations
The MapComplete-reviews are geographically clustered in Europe and the US – not surprisingly where the biggest and well-connected popuplations live.
However, South America and South-East-asia are starting to popup as well. Flanders is overrepresented in Europe. MapComplete is mainly developed there and had a few projects going on there, so there are more reviews. Conclusion
The reviews work and there is a slow but stable growth in the number of them. The results are predictable and, dare I say it, downright boring.
It must be said that the reviews have gotten a higher visibility in the MapComplete UI, which definitively helped to get more reviews.

I do wonder how many women are happy with how male/female washrooms. It really isn't uncommon to find long lines outside of women's washrooms at busy times. I'm just regularly surprised at how people want to defend a system that is already clearly broken. It isn't like we've always had sex segregated bathrooms:
A pair of 25Mhz Motorola 68NC040 processors. While the 68LC040 lacked an inbuilt FPU, and the 68EC040 lacked both FPU and MMU, the 68NC040 lacked FPU, MMU, and CPU to come in as the cheapest 25Mhz processor on the market in 1991.

As a person who refused to use either, all I know is what I've heard: People wanted Skype, but Microsoft kept pushing everyone to go to Teams instead and people hated Teams because it was broken and not ready for general release still now 7 years later, so people quit using either and thus the rise of the horribly insecure Zoom which nobody should have used, so now to get even more people to stop using its products, "Microsoft is shutting down Skype after over two decades [...] as tech giant says it will focus on Teams" theguardian.com/technology/202… Maaaybe it would have been better for everyone if Microsoft just... didn't buy Skype just to ruin and now cancel it? But then again, the reason why I refused to use Skype was the backdoors, sooo guess it's a good thing it dies.
@menelion Nowadays Signal has group video calls support.signal.org/hc/en-us/ar… too. Otherwise there is also Jitsi, but its hosting of the platform requires at least one video conference participant must use either an account of Google or of Microsoft (GitHub) for the conference to start, but since Jitsi is open source it can be self-hosted and seemingly then not have those account requirements.
For anyone curious, the Alternative A2DP Driver for Windows can be found here: bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/ - Well worth the money ($5, trial available first), and you get a discount for multiple computers. The fact that I can choose the codec types, bitrates, and see information about the currently negociated rate is really useful.
Does this allow you to use a headset microphone for meetings ETC? At least on win10, all audio is muted if you choose the microphone, no matter if you are using airpods or whatever.
@jpellis2008 hmm not sure. I do know it'll switch to the microphone as the audio will still go to that super mono 11K quality, but I haven't seen an issue where all audio would just mute when switching to it, that's very strange. So for me it's always worked on at least the 2 pairs of headphones I've tried it on.
I sadly can't see this being a solution to the disappointment that is the #Shokz OpenMeet due to the fact it has a custom dongle that communicates over not 2.47hz but its own Bluetooth. But this is fantastic for other straight Bluetooth devices
Le comportement de @thunderbird avait changé sans prévenir dans les dernières MAJ par rapport aux listes mail. Il n'affichait plus l'identité des gens qui écrivent sur les listes mails. Ce qui complique l'utilisation des listes.
Pour rétablir le fonctionnement "normal" et afficher l'identité de la personne qui a écrit, il faut décocher une case dans les paramètres "Show only display name for people in my address book"
C'est pas gentil de changer les interfaces sans prévenir.

The European Council discussing Matrix as the recommended tool for inter-gov comms, clients and bots update. That and much more happened this week in Matrix!
Surely though the purpose of @EUCouncil looking at #Matrix would be to remove reliance on US tech companies?
If so, isn't it a major roadblock that @element / ElementX don't have working calls without Google / Apple on mobile (Note: relevant to all non Android/iPhone, not just those with NTFY):
While there are other clients, the mature ones are based on Element, so what client would the EU use, or would they not use it for calls? Or mobile? Seems unlikely.
