@Bri On this day in 2002, I didn't even exist, and therefore was doing nothing! Happy nonexistence day to me, or something like that. Although, I suppose every day for that time would've been a nonexistence day.
Würde ja gerne mal eine Gameshow machen, bei der man am Bahnsteig erraten muss, welche Mitwartenden gerade auf dem Weg zur gleichen Nerdveranstaltung sind wie du.
Die Engelbert-Strauss-Jacken machen eine nicht unerheblichen Anteil der Menschen im ICE 18 nach Brüssel aus 👀
dear #lazyweb: I have a metric butt-load of #photos that are entirely unorganized. total is about 166gb and probably close to 60k files? I lack the energy to sort them manually.
most have exif data. what are my options on Linux for sorting them? #shotwell seems to do dates. I considered #ente but I dunno if I want another subscription service. I don't care to share them with anybody.
Here is a video demo of the 7-string acoustic guitar I just received all the way from Ireland! Hope you enjoy the description and a bit of my playing! youtube.com/watch?v=481fgfR5jG…
I just received this wonderful X20 7-string acoustic guitar made by @emeraldguitars from Ireland.Since I was not able to find too many demos of this instrum...
@bermudianbrit @KaraLG84 What do you mean "it sounded OK"? Just curious. You were not impressed by the sound? Something else? Which series did you try?
@bermudianbrit @KaraLG84 I have a wooden one here, before I sell it, and this guitar gets really close in terms of volume, sustain and projection. It's hard to compare at this point. They are both unique instruments.
@KaraLG84 hay :) not sure what series was, and strings were questionnable so my judgment of it is far from impirical. But I played it alongside a j45 and D28, quite different beasts but similar size, and the CF guitar couldn't compare in terms of depth of sound. As I said though I'd love to have more time with one.
mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich ein paar leere Beiträge in meiner TL habe. Scheinen nur Beiträge mit Bildern zu sein und betrifft nicht alle Beiträge mit Bild.
Auf squeet me reproduzierbar mit dem Testlink. Interessanterweise auf pirati.ca nicht reproduzierbar. Sollte da was im server log auftauchen zu möglicherweise? Gibt es etwas, dass dir helfen würde, das Problem besser zu verstehen oder nachzuvollziehen?
Fujisaki compensation still interests me though. Will explore that further. It just, made watery droplets. I wasn't applying it to the resonators right.
Want to find out how your battery is doing on your laptop? Windoes+r, type cmd and press enter. At the command line type: powercfg /batteryreport and press enter. An HTML report will be generated and you can view all the details there.
"She glides from the fashion fitting to the table setting, and from the “candlelit dinner” to the “starlight ball”, with a face like a fist and a voice of sheet metal."
A face like a fist and a voice of sheet metal. Brilliant.
Why do people complain about curl|bash so much? Especially that the same people will often happily launch setup.exe when in front of a Windows computer.
curl|bash is not any less safe than E.G. `go install`, and it doesn't get nearly the same level of hate.
After spending half my day thinking about waveforms and reading through research papers during lunch, then spending the other half of it thinking about UI frontend and audits and accessibility, I'm about ready to call it quit and slip into the hot tub. Sorry y'all.
The Letter "R" is tuning slowly. Now it doesn't sound like the synthesizer is barking and words like "far" "bar" sound more natural, if a little squished on the R slightly. That will keep tuning itself over time, but it's not a disaster like it used to be haha
This is the first speech player for me I'm comfortable taking up to rate 70., which is about the same rate I do run Eloquence at. I'm not struggling to hear it as much as I used to at rate 70. Hmm. So that might not be a bad sign. But I'm just one ear. Well, two, one set of them.
I'm actually able to understand most of what I hear at rate 65. This definitely sounds smoother than previous. I need to play with all the settings now.
I just imported a MIDI of Rush E into NVDA Composer by @FreakyFwoof and it…didn't go very well, or maybe it did considering. Anyway you be the judge, here's the audio of what playing it actually did. If anyone wants the resulting project file or the original MIDI, just let me know. I think there's a bit of this that @arfy would enjoy.
Lol towards the end it sounds like an old arcade machine with a severely fucked up audio chip finally short circuits and gives up this planet. RIP Donkey Kong, 1981 - 2026.
🎉 Big NV Speech Player update just dropped! Hybrid glottal source - Finally fixed the "breathy" voice quality at 16000 Hz and above! The synth now picks the right waveform per sample rate: smooth cosine at low rates (no aliasing), LF-inspired buzz at 16kHz+ (that Eloquence-like crispness). VoicingTone v2 - 3 new DSP params: • Noise glottal modulation (Klatt-style pulsing) • Pitch-sync F1/B1 modulation (vocal tract coupling) All with backward-compatible version detection so old drivers keep working. Phoneme Editor - Full voicing params UI! 10 sliders, per-voice storage, auto-loads when you switch voices. Plus 3-tier DLL fallback for older builds. NVDA Addon - New voicing sliders in synth settings ring. Tweak brightness, tilt, crispness per-voice. Linux builds - Fresh x86_64 .so files included. This was a marathon session - glottal waveforms, struct versioning, crash fixes, UI work... mass refresh across the whole stack. github.com/tgeczy/NVSpeechPlay… github.com/tgeczy/NVSpeechPlay… github.com/tgeczy/NVSpeechPlay…
Today my friend gave me a couple of joints that he had rolled for me. The problem is it's way the hell too cold outside to go out and smoke them. And I'm not permitted to smoke in my room. #420 #stonerproblems
@Bri oh no. He didn't tell me I can't smoke them. He gave them to me, knowing that at some point I would. But my landlord and landlady do not allow smoking in the rooms here. So I'll either have to go out and freeze my nuts off to smoke, or I'll have to hold onto them and wait until the weather gets a bit warmer.
It's on Peertube. It's literally on Mastodon. It's on Threads with ads. It's literally on Lemmy. You can probably find it on Misskey. It's a Pixelfed original. It's on Pleroma. You can read it on Pleroma. Pleroma has serious side effects. Ask your doctor about Pleroma.
Protest against Hootsuite’s doing business with ICE in my neighborhood. Protesters are drawn from usual demographics: young people, a few multi-issue protesters with kaffiyeh, elder boomers, loud drum circle, etc.
Cars driving by on Quebec St., however, are just regular commuters, and about 50% are honking appreciatively
The other day I was at Elysian on Ontario comparing notes on company ethics with a friend. I said, probably too loudly, “At least we don’t work for Hootsuite!” forgetting I was in a business that might as well be their offsite cafe
Nobody said anything though.
A backgrounder on the Hootsuite/ICE controversy, going back to 2020
I’ve launched a Citation Needed membership drive to celebrate publishing my 100th recap issue!
Citation Needed critically covers cryptocurrency, the crypto industry, and its influence on policy. Paid subscriptions support much more than just the newsletter — here’s what goes into this work:
CNN in Minneapolis: "We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.
I've covered many protests, especially in New York City. And I have to tell you, I've not seen a crowd like this before. It is eight degrees out here. It feels like five. It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people." ✊
Yeah it's YouTube, but it's also Green Day, and I feel like at this point the power of green day and the power of punk overwhelms the power of the fucking data masters and the billionaires and we gotta stick together, right? youtu.be/eebfMFzJHNs?si=yce-Cj…
Starting my day by consoling my naturalized citizen family member while they sob in fear of ICE.
I don't even know what to say to them anymore. Last year it was, "I know. It will be ok. You are a fucking citizen and nothing will happen." and now it's, "I love you. I will do everything to protect you. I'm scared too."
Fuck ICE. FUCK you if you support them. Rot in hell you bastards.
god damn my family is beautiful. my grandparent's old wedding photos are just like, lookin like movie stars, super glamorous. and here ai am lookin like a half baked potato
