@bagder Is it double messaging when this is explicitly in every single release announcement?
> Just like the previous experimental releases, this is a timed release. It is a snapshot of what we currently have and is something we think other tinkerers and developers may want to start playing with, but again, it is not meant for end users.
I mean you're of course entitled to do so, I just think you ask for feedback on the one hand when releasing the packages, then you need to fight the feedback with info no one seems to read. When you could just not do the releases at all ...
@bagder To have goals which can drive development, for me to get a dopamine hit after being in 10 straight years of development hell, because it gives me a chance to look back and reflect on what we've been doing and determine if that's the correct path.
@bagder Guess I should turn this into an FAQ somewhere which will be yet another thing on my todo list which will of course cut into development time...
Anyways here's the original announcement that described the whole thing.
But tl;dr we're open to feedback if it is actually usable/reasonable right now.
But between live and work finding time for Pidgin is hard and people are making it harder by forcing me through conversations like this.
Greetings Programs! This post was supposed to be made awhile back but I got busy and kept forgetting to write it. Anyways, we are officially announcing that we will be releasing the first experimental release of Pidgin 3 on December 31st, 2024.
@bagder Yeah but I'm not questioning your actions to satisfy my curiosity, telling you how to do things, and blaming you for people not reading the things you've put out to the world.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s he suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

Despite the pain and the siege, we still believe that truth never dies and that the dawn of freedom will come, no matter how long the night lasts. Our voices, our prayers, and our resilience are stronger than all injustice. A morning of hope for Palestine and for everyone who stands for justice.

So do I have to worry about ICE kicking in my door because my wife's maiden name was spelled wrong on the forms at Ellis Island and so it always gets mistaken for Mexican instead of Italian
So earlier today, i went to round one. For those not in the know, round one is an arcade/ entertainment place that has video games, ten pin bowling, food, and stuff of that nature. I picked round one because it had one particular game that I've been wanting to play ever since it came out. As such, I present my best game on the bop it arcade, with a score of 62, which is the highest score set on that machine. I'll certainly be going back for more. This was recorded with a zoom h1e and a pickup coil placed over the speaker grill of the game. I hope you will enjoy.
@Bri mvsep is a crazy good source seperation service that has a ton of free models plus paid ones. They have demucs models, plus newer, better stuff that can isolate a whole bunch of things.
@Bri one category of model they have is effects, which are designed to isolate dialog, music and sfx. MVsep DNR v3 happens to be one of them. I passed this along with a coule other gameplays through it and got sounds that make the game playable.
@Bri basickly the pannel is effectively a flat surface, with the commands sticking out the top. Spin it is on the front, then on the top of the panel you have pull on the left, bop in the center, twist on the right, and flick above bop. The nobs and levers stick out of the pannel twards the air, and the panel is slightly angled twards you so you can reach the controls. The marquee has a over sized front view of the extreme from 2022 on it.
@Bri do you know how other people have managed to isolate the noises? I know some versiont ath people have made on sites like scratch have at least some high quality samples but not all.
@Bri the extreme 2022 has bop it 2016 stylized commands. All controls and case shapes were redesigned and the arcade just took that design 1 to 1 and over sized it.
@BorrisInABox @Bri I'm honestly surprised at how clean that came out. The entire thing was loud enough to hear well over the high ambient noise of the other games and stuff going on, and the pick up coil captured what I sent.
@BorrisInABox @Bri the speakers are on either side of the big marquee artwork, which is extremely raised and tactile. The marquee of course has lighting and stuff behind it, but it's slarge enough that none of the lights were too close.
@Bri @BorrisInABox I ahve the gear to do so, but it would have required placing the cables in the way, and my dad who helped me record would have needed to stand right over me which would have made playing the game harder.
@BorrisInABox @Bri the tricky part now will be programming my nvgt port of this game. I have a sound tracker script that should be able to help with rhythms that use slices or other one shots, but annoyingly ever since an engine update occured, it throws a runtime error that i can't track down which it didn't before.
@Bri @BorrisInABox how should I send the script? I don't think here is the best place to exchange code stuffs since the communication works in posts that end up in the bigger time line.
Tonight, while scrolling random stuff on social media, I noticed something odd and perplexing about the particular voice I use on my devices. People are both directly quoting and paraphrasing that “First they Came for...” poem. The voice I use has been reading “Came” as “Come...” I could not figure out why people were missquoting it, so reviewed it letter by letter. My braille display is charging, or I would have look right on that... Still, “Come,” “Came” different words... Context is important...
That sounds like a really odd thing for a synth to do, but then I'm pretty sure that one of mine does really odd things, too. And, a few years ago, for a few days, my phone's synth was pronouncing GPS like "jeepies," but it eventually reverted to the normal pronunciation. I have no idea why it would have been doing that (it was around the time I was in Brussels, but I'd think that that would be coincidence).
I'm posting this in case I'm missing something, perhaps I am. Is the only way to rewind and fast forward on IOS when those playback sliders exist that move by 5 seconds per swipe, to swipe them a million times until you move the desired increment of 5 seconds, even if you want to rewind/fast forward 30 minutes or something? This goes for playing long audio files in Safari or playing Youtube videos. I know there's a rewind and fast forward button in Youtube, but that's 10 seconds as well. Just curious if there's some trick with those things I don't know about.
If you double tap and hold, and then slide your finger I think it's left and right, but it depends on the slider, then you can move in much, much much larger increments.
Mildly curious if any of my blind followers, or any blind people who happen to see this, do much gaming on mobile platforms (iOS/android/etc), or if most blind gaming is done on desktop these days. I feel like most of the accessible games tend to lean towards being on Windows, and a bit on mac, but I was curious if anyone played on mobile platforms, either as a complementary experience to desktop or console gaming, or even as a preference. If anyone does, what are your favorite mobile games? Not inherently looking for recommendations, just kinda starting a discussion because I'm curious.
Honestly, if I have anything to say about it, mobile gaming will become more of a reality. Want to bring all of my games to Droid/iOS. i know that's not exactly what you asked, but I'd love to be able to play more games on my phone
@Bri I would as well. The more people developing for the mobile scene the better. I'd love to see more of a balance between mobile and desktop gaming, it just seems like there's a lack of mobile devs making their games screen reader accessible
Oh 100%. I can already compile games for Android, and they work a lot better than they did even a year ago, which is great, but not everyone has an android.
Yeah, there's a lot that Apple does that I'm not a huge fan of, but I do like iOS and I like the things you can do with it development wise. NVDARC anyone? That thing is insane and basically turns everything I knew about iOS on it's head
@Bri It mostly seems to just be a bunch of people introducing themselves on a new instance, called TheForkiverse. That's why I was confused. I've never seen a dedicated hashtag used specifically for an instance like that.
I believe its because of a tech podcast called Search Engine, where bunch of tech journalists were talking about the fediverse and decided to set up a presence of some sort and call it the forkiverse, due to some guest hosts being from the Hard Fork podcast. So its getting a lot of mainstream action due to the podcast.
yes, just a new instance pushed by three podcast presenters, from what I can tell. They call it an “experiment”, but I am not sure what the experiment is, or even whether they really know what the experiment is. 3000+ new sign ups in a day, which on the one hand is great, on the other hand makes one wonder about the moderation practices of the new instance.

I have not updated my main Mac to the new OS. I have updated my laptop, and regret it. I am concerned about security updates but I believe Apple provides security updates for not-too-old versions.
This UI, though, I just do not feel comfortable with it. I am hoping I can skip this major version and that the next one will be more in line with Apple's historical attention to getting UIs right.
Please don't respond with discussion about the UI, but: please do respond if I am making a security mistake by holding off on the update.
I find it a little funny when people bring up slop code as an argument against AI. For one, those people must not have read a lot of human produced code, which is mostly slop, but also that things trained on that slop will obviously produce more slop
I have an old (needs-to-be-retired) Linux distro for amateur radio stuff, called HamVoIP, which is running a quite old Archlinux. Linux linkbox 5.4.75-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 9 16:58:39 UTC 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux This system has Tailscale installed, and is using a node on my Tailnet to route both incoming and outgoing traffic. This ISP is using CG-NAT, and I want to direct traffic from the internet to an Asterisk PBX, so I have a Tailscale exit node appropriately configured for this purpose. The registration IP address must match, so outgoing traffic is also sent through that system.
It's been fine for a while, but just this afternoon, this system could no longer access the internet. LAN and tailnet resources were fully accessible, including the exit node itself, but nothing would pass through, until I disabled the use of that exit node and enabled it again.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Anyway, it's working now, but I really should make this system go away in favor of it's more modern 64-bit replacement. It's definitely easier to deal with. Just getting Tailscale to use an exit node in the first place was made more complicated by the old implementation of netfilter.
What I liked about original twitter was hearing funny one liners from comedians. If anyone on here can tell me good one-liner comics to follow, I'd really appreciate it. (Also, I think currently 3 people will see this message, so maybe those people could give me a boost?)
Canada purports to be a pluralistic country. It recognizes many ideas, many traditions, many communities are valid and worthwhile, and the country can and should do the work to know and understand as many as possible.
X is the antithesis of pluralism. X games anger outrage ignorance and prejudice for gain. The algorithm pushes these idea far beyond the real value of these ideas.
Only the pathetically naive and willfully ignorant don't see this.
Misinformation and its manipulation and the outsized harm and impact is today's political reality.
Solomon is feigning outrage with the naive confidence that his party's own misinformation gains through X, is still worthy and justified, that it will compete with the anger and outrage capable of supporting the killing of an innocent woman.
Supporting X is supporting anger, ignorance fear and prejudice, not very Canadian, or its it?
For Mr. "Elbows Up" PM and his "What Porn?" Minister:

Remember the purchase of Twitter was funded by a group including the Saudis, and there could be a margin call on the Tesla stock used as collateral. A house of cards.

For those who want to hear the ETI-Eloquence 3.3 singing but can't be bothered with the stupid Jammable site, here it is. One song. Bob Sinclar's Love generation. Now it would be funny to hear it do the Hungarian parody version made of this song, but the English one is way better as it's one person and not multiple like that one. It doesn't do too bad at it, beyond some weirdness on few words, "tear" pronounced like crying and not ripping things, ETC. Ya know, your standard AI slop.
Open X-Change making a *universally breaking* change in config format & removing features from #Dovecot in the 2.3->2.4 upgrade is telling.

I'm old enough to remember that the US and UK supported a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh, after he nationalised the country's oil industry. And replaced him with the authoritarian Shah Reza Pahlavi. (OK, it was 7 years before I was born: 1953)

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •@bagder These are pre-alpha experimental releases to show people we're still alive and in hopes that others might contribute. But not for end-users.
I am burned out to hell but still pushing because I'm stupid or something.
The majority of the feedback is coming from people looking at screen shots and complaining about trivial UI things like "icons being monochromatic".
They're not even attempting to compile the code or use the flathub beta package so generally the feedback isn't great.
