This is Theodosii Spassov, probably one of my top 3 Bulgarian kaval players, with slow melody. It's a great demo of what the Bulgarian kaval can do; big range, kaba, vocal drone/harmonisation, sound effects, various levels of breathiness, ornaments like hlopki, mordents, vibrato. Particularly notable in this one is circular breathing, both for the 2nd kaval drone, which is quite common, but also in the main melody. Virtuosic stuff!

It was bad enough with native ads, then gamergate made everything political and retarded. After all that settled, the industry decided to side with the screeching lefties instead of the actual audience of gamers. So it's been a death spiral ever since. Sad times when you gotta shill a mattress. Dick pills or pharma ads are probably on the horizon.

Fuck it. Let's go back to usenet. I can probably remember how to use nn.

America, impotently, as the coup proceeds:

"Trump is lying! Trump is stupid! He's so corrupt, and he needs to be impeached! I can't believe the media is letting him get away with this!"

That's it? That's all we've got, as our future is stolen from us and replaced with a fascist, dictatorial nightmare, complete with concentration camps, and genocide in the works?

Where are the riots? Where are the marches? How can this guy and his supporters and enablers even show their faces in public without being afraid for their very lives?

@flamingored there *have* been millions of protestors. There's no media coverage of it, but there was a day of the 50501 protests where there were millions of people out there at once. There have been all sorts of protests popping up all over the place, you're just not hearing about them
And I agree there needs to be more
But it's not like everyone is silent
in reply to Morgan ⚧️

@raphaelmorgan @flamingored Protesting for like one day does nothing. They can work but they need to be like a week long at least. People aren't taking this seriously IMHO, and until we wake up to what's actually happening America is lost. I'm sick of people online, Reddit is a great example, saying shit like "oh, but what can we do?" when someone asks why more isn't being done. We clearly can not handel the situation we're in at the moment, and I hope to God something will change sooner rather than later, because honestly we don't have much time left.
in reply to Zach Bennoui

@ZBennoui @raphaelmorgan @flamingored I think we will have to start over from scratch to make it work, personally. But we should do our best to skip the death camps currently looming between us and the end goal of rebuilding what we have lost.

We are going to have to do some hard thinking and hard work, however we get through this. I think we will at the minimum need some new constitutional ammendments to thoroughly limit executive power. No one person should have that much power. The collective's decisions should be made collectively. Pardons need to go. Appointments need to go. Executive orders need to go. Military and police should not report to the same person. Prosecutors should not report to presidents. Chop it all up and put it in the hands of multiple people that have to vote. If we have to have an executive, we should have more than one, each with a sliver of responsibility and power, and each independently elected. Our system is broken.

in reply to Aaron

@ZBennoui @raphaelmorgan @flamingored And different voting methods should be put into place, too. Ranked choice or something that doesn't incentivize the formation of a binary political system with red and blue vying against each other like fucking sports teams, casting each other as villains to fight over the tiny scrap of swing voters that have all the control. A bottom-up system, not a top-down one, so the people really do rule themselves. Proportional representation to eliminate the tyranny of the majority. There are all kinds of things we can and probably should do to make our government truly representative and accountable and reliable.

@8petros @ZBennoui @raphaelmorgan @CassandraVert
I agree with all of the above. People in large numbers are needed to solve the issue, strike and shut down the economy. Being in the streets might be dangerous with such a violent administration, but refusing to work, reduce purchases to the bare minimum, only purchasing from small local businesses, etc. might be needed.
I can't see there's a painless way to stop a wannabe dictator, but the sooner the easier and less time to do damage

But but autocomplete can't do that πŸ€ͺ

"The NBER paper comes on the heels of other indications suggesting that AI’s potential, while tremendous, has been vastly overstated in the media and the market."

But they're doing the exact overstatement here with the phrase "while tremendous."

An Open Letter to OpenAI and Jony Ive: Building an Accessible Future Together
By Mike Calvo, CEO and Co-founder, Pneuma Solutions
Dear Sam Altman and Jony Ive:
As a community of passionate consumers and advocates, we are excited about the merger between OpenAI and io, Jony Ive’s visionary company. This collaboration holds real promise for groundbreaking innovation. We want to make sure that the future you're building includes the millions of people with disabilities who can benefit from it.
Jony, your legacy at Apple transformed how accessibility was viewed in technology. From VoiceOver to your commitment to inclusive design, you helped raise the bar for what accessibility should look like. Sam, OpenAI’s work with platforms like Be My Eyes has already proven how AI can enhance lives. Your combined track records show that accessibility can be a foundation, not just a feature.
But we’ve also seen what happens when companies overlook that foundation. The Humane AI Pin and the Rabbit R1 launched with high expectations, yet they failed to meaningfully include our community. These products were missed opportunities. They serve as reminders of why it’s so important to involve disabled users from day one.
Our community is not a small corner of the market. We are early adopters, loyal customers, and passionate users of technology that works for us. If you truly want to innovate, then bring us in early. We urge you to connect with organizations that represent a wide range of disabilities and to invite community members to participate as beta testers and advisors.
Because nothing about us should be decided without us.
This is a chance to create something truly inclusive, to honor the accessibility legacy you’ve already helped shape, and to build a future where everyone benefits. We’re here. We’re ready to collaborate. Let’s make sure this next chapter of innovation includes all of us.
Sincerely,
Mike Calvo
CEO and Co-founder

Art, Literature, and Collective Earth Aesthetics - Mixe Communal Networks, translation to English by YΓ‘snaya Aguilar - wordswithoutborders.org/read/a…
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

"A piece made by weaving music can also, at the same time, have a poetic, narrative, visual, or ritual nature, depending on the culture that created it. What is now regarded as an organic element of all aesthetic manifestations was regarded as an innovative and risk-taking sort of interdisciplinary experimentation during the Dark Night of Capitalism. By contrast, almost all literature appeared in one particular privileged form, in a solitary object that needed writing: the book"

Seen many blind people advocating for Audible's AI narration instead of having narrators they don't like record the audiobook and its takes like this that make me super ashamed of some in my own community. I can't even think of what to call these people.

The reasoning is that an AI voice won't be busy or expensive so we can get more audiobooks and just... I strongly suspect these are Blind people that hate audiobooks and want them gone or otherwise reduced in pop culture. I can't understand the logic otherwise.

Yeah this is a dumb take. I go to Audible or other places like that to get books read by humans. If I want AI, I can just get a book from Bookshare and load it up in Eleven Labs reader or use one of the many TTS APIs from Google or Microsoft to make my own audio book. That not only gives you more choice in terms of voices but also doesn't fool people who may not be able to detect AI generated audio into thinking they're listening to a real human voice actor.
