I'm working on a crash in Firefox and was investigating to figure out why a particular decision was made. This led me back to a piece of code which was first written... 23 years ago... by someone at Netscape! The code has evolved a little since then, but it's basically the same, just with minor refactoring. And I'm about to rip out said code. Always blows my mind when something like this happens.
@FastSM I still have the issue that any replys I post, even if it's in threads e.g. replying to my own posts, are not shown in the send timeline. Yup newest build filters are off, caching is off. Really not sure what's the cause here. Might try reauthenticating the account or something, but idk if that helps?
Deleted my cache as well, restarted the client. Still nothing. Also another thing, why is the Download VLC button still in the YT settings (thought VLC was removed)? Finding it a bit hard to keep up with all the random updates adding stuff and then removing it 2 hours later because it might be buggy or not properly tested etc. No offense or anything.
I added it back because I couldn't get sound_lib to be able to play youtube. Now I can play youtube again with VLC but no one else can. So at this point I don't know anymore
@SuchMichel Unpopular opinion but why is it even required? Ok maybe that's just me having an YT Premium sub but even without, there is Brafe etc. Watching the vid on the official site let's me directly like it, go to the channel, etc. And yt-dlp barely works for me anyway, like just use a VPN and you're already out. Just saying, I get why it would be useful for someone else and in the end it's up to me if I use it.
Please discard what I said. No idea what's been going on, I guess some saving issue or me not closing the app properly, anyway I found the filter still active in the accounts config file, tried clearing it from the dialog again, and it did actually save now. Not sure what that was. Sorry about that.

Iāve been playing with Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3 for about a week, and Iām not so sure about the default velocity curve or the keybed. The default velocity curve makes me trigger quiter notes more often than I intended, so I had to change. Iām also used to a firmer stop at the bottom of the key travel, but this keybed feels more squishy than solid. I guess this makes it quieter when you play, but it feels pretty weird. Does anyone else have opinion on this, or is it just me? @FreakyFwoof
@jcsteh Iāve played many different keyboards and usually adapt to them pretty quickly. This is the first time Iāve had a reaction to a keybed on any keyboard. lol
@jcsteh It took me a while to get used to but now I find I prefer it. Had to learn to adapt. Even doing drums is way nicer on my fingers than MK2, which was very hard at the bottom.
@jcsteh Yeah I mostly use my 88 fully weighted keys for playing and mostly use KK to control things instead of playing. I might just return and get a smaller version. lol

Aha. NVSP Phoneme Editor updated to use the newer engine and packs, so people can edit away. Also introduced: Pressing spacebar on fields in "edit phoneme" or editing pack settings brings up the edit dialog for it. Also huge change: Now the various phoneme tuning parameters have human explanations that tell you what they are, so tuning should be made easier. Download: eurpod.com/synths/NVSPPhonemeEā¦ (V4's going away in a little bit unless people find major bugs in this one)

They tricked us into funding their businesses and executives in the promise of a retirement and then lied to everyone who gets fooled into opening up a 401k. If you do really well you can probably buy a few years at most of your current standard of living before it's gone.
People who can do the math and see there's no point should drain it. It's one way to fight them financially when there's no hope of a future. If this could be organized effectively you'd probably be able to pop the bubble.

This toot comes delayed as a lot of RBs failed today. Luckily we were able to fix most of them already; for the remaining ones, issues are open with the corresponding devs.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
It's not GNOME, it's not KDE, it's not the new Vanilla OS DE, it's new, uses <100M of memory, is accessible (for real) and uses GTK4 (but not libadwaita).
Whatās the motivation for the project? It looks pretty cool, but historically your work has had a specific reason to be developed. Bottles to improve the Wine experience on Windows, Bottles Next to fix the architecture of Bottles and improve its UX (also, any news on Next?), cpak for a portable and sandboxed package formatā¦ so Iām curious as to the perceived issue that led to this project being born!
@moshimotsu I was just tired of bloated desktops, I wanted something modern that stays under 200MB. Itās built natively for Wayland using labwc under the hood to avoid reinventing the wheel, with no plans for Xorg support. I love the GNOME workflow but Iām fed up with the libadwaita-only direction and the feeling that any modification is an impurity. This is also a good playground, where I can do anything without being forced into someone else's design guidelines.
@TheEvilSkeleton @moshimotsu the issue is not the shell but the direction of the GNOME Apps which are part of the Environment. Plus the issue I have with GNOME OS `just existing*`, but that is up to me. I have to write a blog to really explain this last one š¤
I'm not sure what you mean by GNOME OS "just existing", especially considering I use GNOME OS on my tablet and desktop nowadays and see plenty of reasons why it should exist (laptop is on Silverblue, but I plan to switch to GNOME OS some day)
I guess I'll wait to hear your detailed take on GNOME OS once you write the blog post ;). I've had a lot of issues with Vanilla OS with how outdated GNOME is, but also the unclear direction with how containers are pushed and the tooling around them, which were some of the reasons why I went straight to GNOME OS from Silverblue
@TheEvilSkeleton Maybe @mirkobrombin and I are misattributing GNOMEās vision for its ecosystem to its vision for the shell.
Naturally the shell canāt be going LibAdwaita-only, as (looking from the outside in) I would figure many shell elements, like widgets/the dock/etc, are just using GTK4ānot to mention non-LibAdwaita apps still run on it. The ecosystem is what seems to be going LibAdwaita-only, both in GNOME shell, and elsewhere. I figure?
there is no backups for arcanechat.me no user data is kept in backups not even if it is already encrypted data, if the server is wipped all data is gone, but here is the twist, you will barely notice! your account will be magically restored as soon as you connect, and all your data is safely stored in your devices, in your pockets, not in some cloud a.k.a "someone else's computer"
as a #chatmail relay operator this gives peace of mind you don't get with other selfhosted chat solutions
If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in #Uganda They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.
I bet a lot of my programmer friends are going, "why didn't you just use JSON and serialize settings that way?" Y'all, I did consider good ol JSON, because yes, it does have a faster compute time, but before the phoneme editor and NVDA driver settings, JSON would have been a lot less human-readable. YAML does suck for indents, I agree, but so does Python, if you are thinking on those lines, and good code indenting is honestly just good code hygiene if you think about it, why not keep that alive. I read them on a Braille display a lot, I recognize not all people do, but poorly indented code in Braille VS well-indented is the difference from knowing quickly where functions begin VS trudging code as though it were a thick foggy swamp. And I don't like that feelin'.
I am currently using Airpods Pro 2 as hearing aids, with everything cranked as much as it can be cranked. It's probably not the best thing for my particular condition, but it works, mostly, until I can do something better, which is not now.
I have a clock in this room, which chimes every hour through a speaker.
Something about that sound freaks them out a little, and, when I also have screen reader speech or something else going at the same time, I get an almost ghost vocoder effect, where certain frequencies get modulated by the chiming clock.
It makes it almost sound like the clock is speaking, or ghost aspects of it are, anyway.
Out of curiosity, did you input your own audiogram values or did you just let the hearing test do its thing? I don't like that you can't manually adjust them, but the fact that you can enter your own is pretty neat.

I don't hate YAML entirely. What bugs me about it are:
* either my IDE defaults to two spaces, or that's the expected indent, because I can't use my normal tabs with it * I still don't know when to put a hyphen before something * I can't skip sections by using jump to matching symbol commands * to me, it feels more fragile and harder to lint
I'm getting used to it, because Gitlab runners, Docker Compose, and other tools demand it. But I still don't really like it. JMO.
IMHO enforced indention is bad. 1st, presentation and content must be decoupled. the web has truly proven the benefits therein. 2nd, this is ableist. Many folks need things to look a certain way for their disability, be it visual, processing, attention, what have you. Enforcing indention is harmful to those folks. 3rd, this removes choice. JSON can be indented, auto or otherwise, but YAML must be, which means no choice. Tech should work for us, not the other way around.
@sinabahram lol, that's why I said that I recognize not all people do. Besides, people can just use speech indentations / tones if they can't read Braille, so I don't consider indentation ablist at all that way. I've gotten used to writing enough Python that by this point in my life, I'm sowely in the "always indent" camp.
@sinabahram but I will say: I do see where it could be seen as ablist, in the sense that someone might not have pitch perception, nor Braille, then what? But that's where I think we just need more alternatives for indicating that, haptics, ETC. Would be cool to see an IDE where it did use certain haptic bumps because that I think could even benefit everyone equally for quickly feeling a count of indent levels. I personally see it as a part of semantics, even for machines, because they can parse the number of indents and understand blocks of code better. Without it, chunking would become a lot harder for machines, too. So it benefits both worlds, it's just a matter of equally making it available to everyone.
I feel you're stating indention is needed. I fundamentally disagree. That is simply one way of conveying scope. Another is braces, another is fixed columns from back in the fortran days, and much more. Instead of baking inaccessibility in, let's simply not do that. Also the way it is done is itself inaccessible by enforcing spaces per Python's pep-8 instead of tabs. More importantly, nothing prevents indention being automatically added with all these other options.
also, I don't mean to be all computer sciency, but it is 100% not semantics. It is syntax being conflated with semantics, which is my objection. Syntax should be syntax and semantics should be semantics. It's not about opinions, but rather about data. No peer-reviewed programming language literature to the best of my knowledge supports indention making a statistical difference for programmers. So, in the abscence of evidence, I always choose choice.

Honestly the easiest first place to test any new language is the SAPI wrapper, you just drop the language-specific YAML in, and boom, you can have that language show up as one of the voices. That's what's nice about it, but anon-well-tuned language (with missing phonemes and such, or a tonal one not configured with tonal settings) would still probably sound like shit. But at least, people can really experiment and try any language just by copying default.yaml and renaming it to the language's YAML name, boom, poof, then adjusting from there.
#Bitwarden premium users, please be aware that they're doing an 100% price increase for no features of any proper value. I happily paid even 20ā¬ a year for 2 vaults, but won't do 40 for features I never use. So thanks for the push to look into selfhosting again. To clarify, the initial premium price was 10ā¬, they're doubling for 20, adding random protection features you don't need if you have a brain. bitwarden.com/blog/bitwarden-lā¦ reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/commentā¦
Bitwarden Premium and Families plans now have new capabilities to account for a modern cyber landscape needing to anticipate threats before they happen and allowing users to proactively safeguard their digital assets.
I setup vaultwarden not to long ago, it wasn't bad. I just prefer chromium local passwords, but I might consider hosting that when I create a nas at some point soon. Another decision I'm thinking about what I'm going to use etc.
I'm a bit hesitant to self-host my own because all of my actual serious passwords are in there lol but I seriously might if they keep doing price increases like that
i want to not have to gaf about being successful and shit all the time. and just think. you know what. today im gonna hop on my console and just. play quake. and just be able to play it and not have to think ohhhhh shitttt man ohhh fuck i have to do a thing

@HdE DeltaChat is free, offers super easy onboarding, the UI is good, it is even based on Signal client, it is decentralized, there are servers all over the world and can be selfhosted, it is super cheap to run, requires low resources
Don't worry about the few contals on the picture. Many do not want to go away from Whatsapp but the ones I can convince are more willing to change to Delta/Artanchat than to Threema. In addition, I find it as better than when my smartphone is constantly lit. Thanks also for link even if necessary.
