ElevenLabs rendering of nonsense text intended to make stupid noises
I just wrote up a bunch of nonsense text intended to cause #ElevenLabs to make some stupid noises, and did it ever succeed! Here's the text, and the resulting audio is attached.
Hello! I am a very official sounding radio announcer type of voice. So now, naturally, I'm going to try to make some really stupid noises. Here we go! Bwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwup! Biwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwiwik! Duhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrt! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Jujijujijujijujijujijujijujijujijujijujij! Yuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyyttg!

Mit einer neuen Cannabis-Politik wollen wir den Schwarzmarkt eindämmen, die Drogenkriminalität verringern und die Menschen vor gefährliche Verunreinigungen von Cannabis schützen. Heute haben Bundeslandwirtschaftsminister Özdemir und Bundesgesundheitsminister Lauterbach neue Eckpunkte vorgestellt.
¡Buenos días! Con la novedad de que hace unos minutos descubrí un problema asociado al nuevo horario en México (ya sin horario de verano): @thunderbird sí hizo el cambio y me avisó una hora antes de una reunión vía Zoom... Ahí me tienen todo extrañado de que nadie se conectaba 😂
Remedio temporal: cambié la zona horaria de Thunderbird a América/Cancún, justo donde me gustaría estar realmente ahora mismo :blobcatglaredrink:
Y no, el remedio es únicamente parcial, las notificaciones ocurren fuera del tiempo. Al parecer hay un problema de disparidad entre la hora del sistema y la hora de Thunderbird, a pesar de que ambas están configuradas en la misma zona horaria.
System time and Thunderbird's time are not synced, but they are configured at the same time zone. Thunderbird is taking the obsolete daylight saving in Mexico, which is not applied since 2023.
Bug fixed! Thanks to @thunderbird. I have to say that #Thunderbird is indispensable for me, not only for email management but for my workflow arround appointments: is the only way, in #KDE #Plasma, to get full featured and reliable desktop notifications for meetings managed in Google Calendar 🙌

El Consejo de Ministros da luz verde a la nueva Ley Integral de la Economía Social y a la Estrategia Española de Economía Social para impulsar un sector referente a nivel internacional.
Habrá que echarle un vistazo a este tema, pero debería replantearse muy seriamente la noción de centros especiales de empleo. Acaban siendo un modo de superexplotación laboral con beneficios fiscales y de seguridad social en el que el personal discapacitado se queda varado para no salir más.
@modulux Pues la comunidad ciega de Mastodon tiene much que decir al respecto y del daño que hace. Luego ves a las empresas que prefieren pagar las multas a contratarnos y por ahí sigue la cosa.
@jmdaweb Los centros especiales de empleo, como las fundaciones, las mutuas y demás no tienen ánimo de lucro, lo que quiere decir que a final de cada ejercicio presentan un balance sin beneficios. Eso no necesariamente quiere decir que dediquen el dinero a lo que se supone que es su función. El truco está en que si los directivos cobran cuatro veces más de lo que cobrarían en otro sitio, tienen prebendas como coche con chofer, etc. podrás presentar un balance sin beneficios a final de año.
Free software is about much more than zero-cost. It's about the freedom to use, study, modify and share software. So we're increasing public policy-related activities in the EU, to raise awareness of this: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #libreoffice #eu
The Document Foundation, thanks to the widespread popularity of LibreOffice, is recognized as one of the largest FOSS organizations worldwide, and especially in Europe (where the project was born over 20 years ago).
Someone might get a bit of a chuckle out of this. This is a pretend ad I did after observing many of these scammy kind of ads on YouTube. I really felt my voice was on with this one. #Comedy #VoiceActing #Blind
It's brilliant and reminds me of a British comedian called Damien Slash AKA Daniel Barker. Look him up if you haven't heard of him already, he's amazing. He does a series on Radio Four and youtube called 'The Damien Slash Mix Tape'

I guess you're used to it. I used a copywrite-free bit of music as the theme for our 120 episode podcast. I heard it used in someone else's podcast somewhere and felt irate and betrayed. Who do they think they are?

Můj pokus o instalaci Arch linuxu skončil tím, že ho prostě nemůžu nabootovat. Problém by měl být nejspíš v tom, že zhruba v těchto místech (viz foto) chybí něco jako Boot mode. Najde se někdo, kdo aspoň vzdáleně tuší co s tím?
@archos ISO ano, celá instalace proběhne v pořádku, ale po restartu mi tam zase skočí to USB a zase to chce instalovat nanovo. Když ho vyndám, nenajde už vůbec nic z čeho by bootoval, původní systém jsem smazal a nový nevidí
Není to Lenovo? Vypadá to stejně jak můj noťas. Ten Arch je instalovaný z archinstall? Možná zkusit jinou distribuci. Na Archu založené Endeavouros, má i klasický instalátor.

#WireGuard becomes the first VPN app on #FDroid to be built reproducibly! This means that WireGuard on F-Droid is now guaranteed to be 100% (bit-by-bit) equal to the WireGuard the developer builds.
If you're using WireGuard from F-Droid, please export your tunnels and re-install to switch to the developer's signature and continue receiving updates.
A common criticism directed at F-Droid is that F-Droid signs published APKswith its own keys. Using our own keys doesn’t mean insecure — we have a goodtrack ...
Jetzt ein SHIFT6mq sichern und später kostenfrei auf das SHIFTphone 8 umsteigen. Klingt nach einem guten Plan oder?😊
Für 633 € (zzgl. 22 € Pfand) bekommst du jetzt das SHIFT6mq, du darfst es so lange nutzen bis unser SHIFTphone 8 verfügbar ist und dann kostenfrei darauf upgraden.📱
Hehe, ich weiß das schon seit Ende Februar, habe aber brav die Klappe gehalten 😉 Da es jetzt offiziell ist kann die jetzt ja wieder aufmachen 🙈 Supi, bin schon Neugierig – auf beides!

#visuallyImpaired and #blind users are probably disappointed. Let's hope, those users can use #MATE for now and things will improve before the release of Debian 13 #trixie.
@lazarus GTK4 in 4.8 was missing a way for implementing accessibility in out of tree code bases, like libadwaita and custom app widgets; the main bulk was fixed in GTK 4.10 (but that doesn't help frozen Debian), and the last missing interface for text, which will fix the terminal's accessibility, will be available in GTK 4.12, in September.
Things would of course go faster if there was more than one person (not me, in this case) working on the accessibility stack.
@lazarus The main reason why MATE would work better is that it's still stuck with the old accessibility API, which is a mess that hasn't been really touched in 15 years; so it's more a case of things running on inertia.
@lazarus That's a lot of money; the GNOME Foundation couldn't find anybody willing to donate that kind of money—which is, incidentally, why I am not able to work for the Foundation any more, after working full time for two years on GTK, and writing the new accessibility implementation over 9 months.
@mimi89999 Won't help much: bare minimum, it would require bumping GTK and its dependencies during a freeze; otherwise, it'll have to wait until after GTK 4.12 is released, in September, and a bunch of apps and libraries have been updated to include more accessibility information.
As I said in another reply, what would help is actually helping out with the accessibility stack; it's not like MATE or Xfce are better: they are just stuck, so they look like they work.
@mimi89999 to be fair, a bunch of people relying on the accessibility stack have their custom set up, and they barely upgrade because things tend to break when very, very few people work on something.
@ebassi Thank you for elaborting. That sounds quite sensible too me. And seems either way it is a good thing to spread the news about ways to support @gnome financally.
Only by now (I just searched for it) I found individuals from Germany are able to do tax deductible donations via Way Holland Stiftung. I did not know about this before and I think it‘s very important information for people over here: wauland.de/de/donate/gnome/ #gnome #donations #fundraising
@ebassi @gnome I should also mention @wauland here. Having such a legal entity is very important because other entities supporting the same goals are able to transfer their donations.

Developer friends: A friend and colleague at GMU is taking a survey of the developer US and ergonomics of automated software-repair tools, one of those tool/technique combinations that shows a few of the early signs it might push the state of the art usefully forward.
