hay humans: recommendations for good strings midi things? We want to maybe add them to a few of our tracks to pad things out a bit, especially if the songs are slow and depressing...as they inevitably are.
The majority of the tech industry has no valid vision how to contribute to a liveable future for humanity on this planet. Their dystopian fantasies don’t match with human needs. That’s why we will keep sliding from one bubble to the next. Everything has to be artificially inflated to hide the massive abyss of meaninglessness behind it all.

@jcsteh Hey I read about your App2Clap project. I'm curious how you can isolate audio from one particular application. For years now, I've been using Total Recorder to record system audio. Before definitely Windows 7 and possibly Vista, in other words, as late as XP, I could record audio as received by the system, exclude applications, do accelerated recording, etc. But then with the newer audio driver, I had to record after processing by Windows, which meant all audio was resampled to the default output sample rate, I could no longer exclude apps, etc. When you said App2Clap requires Windows 11, that gave me the impression that Windows 11 restored some of that older functionality, but I really can't find anything, and Total Recorder hasn't been updated in years. Thoughts? Thanks.

Here's a link to the sample, but I can't help you any further with this. Ultimately, I think you're going to have more mileage and flexibility using OBS or REAPER, but I also understand the desire to avoid being entangled in yet another tool. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samp… @TheQuinbox

As someone who's seen a lifetime's worth of corporate union avoidance strategies, Ruby Central's attempts to discredit gem.coop and prevent it from blossoming into a community-led competitor mirror that combination of misinformation and abuse of power so perfectly that I'm unable to see it in any other way. What's happening in Ruby right now is the closest thing I can imagine to a union busting campaign in open source.
Uh... cool.
My Synology NAS seems to be doing this thing where no services are available after a restart. I can't get to the web interface, samba isn't available, and a bunch of scripts don't seem to work from command line. I really didn't have let's go through a bunch of logs and see what's broken today on my non-existent bingo card, but here we are, I guess.

It's an old Synology DS1815+. 8 bays without an expander. I think I could add 10 more bays with two expanders if I really wanted.
@SylvieLorxu I tryed installing catima on my parent's phone. Unfortunately, catima doesn't exist for iOS. What alternative app would you suggest for iOS?
Sorry, I don't use iOS.

The year is 2025. AI has taken the world by storm, self-driving cars are on the roads, and brain-computer interfaces are being tested on humans. Yet, amidst all this modernity, blind and visually impaired individuals are still stuck utilizing a CAPTCHA service that requires your email address, uses a web browser cookie, and only (sometimes) functions if you scale back your privacy settings.

You: FrameWork is promoting this Linux distro by DHH and he's a bad man so we should boycott FrameWork
Me: FrameWork is selling laptops with Windows, which is a a worse crime than having shit opinions so we should boycott FrameWork
Truly excellent writeup about the current clusterfuck that is Framework (computers):
Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?
There are alternatives!
Get a refurbished ThinkPad through Minifree, preinstalled with Libreboot and funds the further development.
Or get a vintage ThinkPad with modern internals.

also can you point me to a CPU that isn't built with a supply chain that thrives on human rights abuses, that's a good one too

Very thankful for the handful of people we have in this community who report not just the spammers, but the trolls, the sealion-ers, the harassers, the bullies.
We're not omnipresent and we can't possibly know everything that's going on across the fediverse; we rely on member reports to find and take action on bad behaviour, not just on mastodon.art, but on other instances.
Part of hosting and building a safe community is having clear, strong boundaries and enforcing those boundaries -
#FediHelp needed: the final phase of our metadata reorganization is now in progress. During our cleanup, we a.o. found a bunch of no longer maintained apps which we think might be considered "niche" – but are not sure which of those are really still useful, and thus should be kept.
So if you use one of them and still find it useful – or recently tried one of them and it didn't even work, can you please check codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… and leave a comment? Thanks!

Who called them sea monkeys when shrimpanzees was right there?
so, my current de-stressing activity is learning English round hand from period copy-books. the lines in copy-books that aren't just practice letter-forms are horrifically boring, extremely cringe moral mottoes, and I'm running out of stuff to practice writing
current texts include the long-term nuclear waste warning message, old copypasta like "then who was phone", city names, scientific names, this alphabetic poem from an 1806 manual
any ideas for one-liners or very short texts? or, I guess, anything you want put in fancy script, albeit by a beginner

Is autistic self-identification valid?
I just completed a quantitative research paper comparing autism traits in medically diagnosed autistic people with the same traits in self-identifying autistic people and I can definitively say with more stats behind it than I care to ever think about again, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!

I want to be wanted without having to do anything first, without having to impress, without having to spoil someone, without having to go out of my way. I want to be wanted for myself, not to have to make it worth someone's while first.
My best relationships in all aspects from work to friendship to romantic have always been during a time when I wasn't trying to impress people. Granted, my unwillingness to impress people did not come from some amazing life hack or conpidence boost, sometimes I just had enough energy to maintain, so their was neither reason, nor resources I could use to try. All that to say, if you're about to do something you hope will impress someone, just... don't.

Well then, here you go! This was something I sang, just for fun, in a voice chat group. Then @Derek and a few friends turned it into…this! Lyrics in alt text.

Hello, everyone! I recently returned from our trip to visit friends, Derek and Robin, where we traveled in both South and North Carolina! There is so much to tell, including the sharing of recordings made along the way. Of course, music and live performing will be strewn throughout the telling of the trip and whatever else comes along. See you there!

Okay, so I had to. Tom Lehrer's ode to, She's my girl! Creepy, but a bit funny. He has so much content that might be questionable these days taken out of context.
So today's Tom Lehrer's tribute is an obscure, (well, obscure for me), something entitled the political song. I figured this would work very well with punk rock... and it did. Have a listen:
The stop, drop, and spaz demon finally showed up for a visit.
If you ever have to read anything boring or drpressing, the solution is to use a narator, virtual or otherwise, who is not associated with that kind of material. Here is an example, lets see who is the first to guess the voice.
This is what happens when you use moddeling software in ways it shouldn't be.
I wanted to see if I could make a promo with AI that would be good enough to pass inspection by yours truely, and the short answer. I couldn't. I used chat gpt, index tts for the speech, mainly because its the new toy, but used eleven labs for the music, also because that part is another new toy. I still had to generate multiple beds before I was ok with the result, and nothing mixed well without more plugins than should be permitted by law.
Also I'd love to boost this but I won't boost audio without a description, in the same way I don't boost images without description. If we want parity, we need to be the ones that push for it the hardest. If sighted people should be held accountable for adding alt-text to images, so should we for audio, so that our deaf followers, and people that just want a summary of what we're posting, also benefit.

Tonight, I will be demonstrating my Meta glasses to the Lions club. Is there anyway, short of some sort of acoustic coupling, to get the voice of the glasses to go to a speaker of some description? in other words, I can get to the phone to the glasses, but can I get the glasses to a speaker?
Our ol’ buddy @jmd2000 had a birthday this week, so his old wooden barn is temporarily closed. Therefore, @Derek and Robin are doing another “Just Because Show” on HKC Radio tonight at 8pm eastern.

Hi there.
I'm a big ol' Docker idiot.
I need to add a private key to a docker environment, specifically referencing this projects:
github.com/mattmelling/asl-zel…
I guess I need Docker Basics 101, since I don't really have much experience with it.
I have built the thing based on it's included docker file. Now I need to add this private key before launching it with docker run.
The README expects one knows how to actually use docker, which I suppose is fair. So, do I run a minimal something so I can shell into it and create files before running the complete environment, or what?
GitHub - mattmelling/asl-zello-bridge
Contribute to mattmelling/asl-zello-bridge development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
Mount the local keyfile as a volume inside the container by adding something like this to the `docker run` command:
-v local\path\to\private.key:/container/path/to/private.key:ro
Then tell the project where to find the in-container keyfile as the GitHub page indicates.
(Note: I'm assuming you're on Windows with the backslashes there, but change to forward slashes in the host path if not.)
