Made some progress on prototyping a #RP2040 based #USB Audio interface. I got a PIO program to output a good looking TDM signal for 4 channels of 32-bit samples.
Now I can start prototyping the receiving end of the transaction, DMAing samples into RAM and packing them into isochronous USB packets.
I am an angry person. Linus of LTT just started shouting at me out of nowhere. No browsers open. DIE! DIE! DIEDIE DIEDIEDIE! I don't like LTT on the best of days.
We've all heard the tale of how to own a Nazi bar, i'm fairly sure.
I was drumming up interest in a local board game group i really enjoy, on my local queer Discord server. I got some interest.
Someone on the board games group's server asked "why did you make a point about us being queer friendly?" Not rudely, just curious.
"Because a lot of community groups are invisibly closed to us. We daren't reveal ourselves because of antipathy to queer folk. This place doesn't do that, at all. So i tell people it's safe, and they feel more comfy coming along."
Someone said, "Oh, so it's like the Nazi bar story, only good." I thought for a moment, and they're right. Sort of. Because unlike Nazis, queer folk aren't an invasive species. We don't push people out. Assholes just self-select choosing not to be associated with a bar that's queer-friendly.
Which is fine, system working as designed.
So...how do we tell the tale of the Queer-friendly bar, and the positive feedback loop that can occur when a business is explicitly friendly to queer folk?
Cause I think that could be a simple, true, and effective point about the great difference between choosing to be nice to Nazis instead of queer folk. Or vice versa, being nice to queers and bum-rushing the Nazis.
The Nazi Bar story is one we all know. Anyone got a proposal for how to do a good tale of how the bar got so lively? "Oh, I bought a drink for this gay fella once, and soon there were loads. But they're great guys, and if ya tell them no, they stop bugging ya, which is giving me weird feelings about how I treat women. And we get a lot fewer assholes, too."
Someone? Got a seed for the good story lurking here? I wanna make us some rippin' good properganda.
At the top of the hour, my Christmas automation for HKC @radio begins. It has a boring name, but it is one of the best examples of organized Christmas Chaos and mayhem you'll find. To listen, go to ww.hkcradio.com or tell alexa to start get me radio, and when she asks for the station you want to hear, say HKC Radio.
I want to be figuring out what would happen if WebKit used the DOM to create the accessibility tree with AT-SPI, but, right now, I can't get a build, so I'm struggling to figure out why /usr/include/wayland isn't in the list of include directories that cmake passed to g++.
This might have been somehow related to my having had a gtk4 build in /usr/local left over from when I was debugging something unrelated. Note to self: whatever crap I have in /usr/local should be kept to a bare minimum, and remember to uninstall things when done with them.
The year is 2050. The collapsed ruins of civilization lie around you. The STM announces that they've finished their implementation of using your phone as a payment system only 1 decade after every other city went to free transit, which was already 10 years too late for humanity.
Montreal transit riders will soon be able to swap their plastic OPUS cards for a digital version as the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) advances its overhaul of the region’s fare system.
some days, I remember... 1. years ago, TicketMaster wrote a custom RTOS that runs on a VAX. 2. they still run this RTOS on a SIMH-emulated VAX on a Kubernetes cluster to this day. 3. Terry Davis actually wrote it when he worked for TicketMaster back then. 4. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
from a random community chat: "#Telegram secret chats exist so you can share your #deltachat QR/link to get off Telegram 😇"
In related news, Arte published a well-done documentary film about "Telegram, the dark empire of Pawel Durov" up (german audio only) arte.tv/de/videos/122721-000-A… -- it's a dive into various TG happenings during the last decades, biographical origins of telegram development, the durov brothers etc..
Letzte Bastion der Meinungsfreiheit oder Spielwiese für Extremisten und Kriminelle? Am Messenger-Dienst Telegram scheiden sich die Geister. Genau wie an seinem mysteriösen Gründer, dem Tech-Milliardär Pawel Durow.
Can confirm about the secret chats. I had a very sensitive chat that one day turned inaccessible with a "chat cancelled" notification even though not me nor my contact did anything similar. Anyway, got suspicious enough to make the leap to deltachat. Not going back to telegram for that contact.
When a kernel commit starts with "In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that ..." you know you're in for a ride: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k… tl;dr: Rockchip decided November should have 31 days...
This ChatControl bullshit is going to spread like wildfire if it passes and this is as distressing as the current state of world politics, the economy/job market, or even what COVID has done to society
like we're just letting these people voluntarily make life worse because they won't do their jobs
Any #Atari experts out there know where I can find out the max current draw from the 5V (pin 7) of a 2600 joystick port?
From the schematics it looks like it comes directly off a 7805 and the field service manual BOM lists a 78M05 which I think has a max 500mA with suitable heatsink. But that is powering the whole console...
But so far my searching is failing me with a definitive answer! :)
Crazy to me how GPT-5.1 now really pushes you to get pro. After a certain point in your conversation, it will tell you that you've hit your web browsing limit for that chat. Not for your entire session, mind you, just that conversation's allowance gets capped. So then it gives you this little hint of encouragement, "upgrade to pro for less limits." Really? OpenAI realized that $20 a month from their small customer base isn't enough profit so now the hammer comes down on it. Let's face it, most people use GPT for free, because even if it has less limits, it is enough for basic needs to many. Unlike the annoyances of skip limits, ads everywhere, or other usage limits, the free tear of GPT is relatively the same, again minus some robust tools and higher limits, but these are things not everyone needs. I'm very amused. Of course ads in free GPT are hard to do because nobody wants their conversation scanned for contextual ads. Google did end up doing this in GMail to an extent but were very careful and explicit. Then, Google announced in June 2017 that it would no longer use content from consumer Gmail to personalize ads, ending that feature. GPT? I don't know what they can do besides asking the people who use their service for more than just basic brainstorming to pay up.
It's already been suggested that they'll be adding ads. Maybe people will object, maybe they won't.
I suspect most people don't consider their chats with an LLM to be anywhere near as private/sensitive as email, even though in reality they could be even moreso.
@jscholes oh wow yeah, that would probably just use AdsKit or whatever framework the OS provides, but I wouldn't be surprised if they became an Ads partner directly rather than sourcing that to another company, at least it does sound like this would be the case. That might give them more control over which ads ultimately appear, and I wouldn't be surprised if at first they opted people out of targeted ads but later dipped their toes in once partners come online and it becomes ever too hard to resist chat info targeting the ads.
all these new generation copy-on-write filesystems, and yet no one has been brave enough to name theirs simply "cowfs". then they could call the package containing its mkfs, fsck, etc. "cowtools"
It's fortunate that REAPER also has an open enough plugin system that a third party could do the work to make it practically accessible with a screen reader via a plugin. Most conscious attempts to make such efficient software wouldn't have that additional feature.
oh, yeah, i didn't think about that. I knew they used their own toolkit for the GUI, which usually means poor accessibility. Do you know if there are any DAWs that have good accessibility from the vendor without a plugin?
I have no experience with accessibility for desktop software, as I've only ever worked on the problem for websites. I should read up on AccessKit, I guess.
President Trump’s latest cardiovascular MRI shows he’s in “excellent health” and there are “no acute or chronic concerns.” - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
i've been growing pre 1800's apples and i confirmed i'm not allergic to raw apples pre 1800. there's a genetic bottleneck for all modern apples around 1800 that bred out the phenolic acid, the lack of phenolic acid makes my tongue itchy and my throat swell up. but this orleans reinette i grew didn't cause any allergic reaction to me. i've grafted a bunch of other pre 1800s varietals and i'm converting my front lawn into an apple dominant food forest style garden with berries and perennial edible plants. i have twelve different apple seedling trees and i'll graft some into frankentrees with many apple varietals on one tree.
