I created a Linux VM and used Debian as the distribution. Everything installed perfectly, but after setup the sound got really choppy. Is it possible to fix it somehow?
I can suppose you allocated too little memory to the VM. @fireborn Can you assist please? Original post for reference: "I created a Linux VM and used Debian as the distribution. Everything installed perfectly, but after setup the sound got really choppy. Is it possible to fix it somehow?"
@menelion @fireborn It could be too little RAM. It could also be what happened to me...I had the processors and cores settings backwards. Set processors to 1 and cores to at least 2, 4 or 8 is better but you might not have that much available depending on your system. Just a suggestion.
I keep hearing politicians from both US political parties making the manifestly absurd claim that, “This is not who we are.” To the contrary, this is exactly who we are and this is exactly what we do. Admitting we have a problem is the first step.
I really don't think Carney knows what the words "nation building" means. "Nation building" is making big ambitious investments that make people proud of being part of the nation and unite the nation.
Public healthcare was a nation building project. The railroad was a nation building project. The Canadarm did some nation building. Weed could have been if Trudeau didn't fuck it up and put the provinces in charge. Dental care could have been if it wasn't just Obamacare for teeth.
Examples of nation building projects would be: - High speed rail - Free universal child care - Massive investment in public transit across all cities (not PPP) - A UBI - A nationalized ISP with a mandate to provide high speed internet to all
No one is going to be like "I am so fucking proud we have invested in a copper mine!" or "Wooo! Upgrades to existing nuclear power plant!!" or "phase 2 of an LNG pipeline? Awesome! Phase 2, baby!!"
Those are not nation building. Those are just industry investment.
For 100% accuracy in retaining complex material at work, I've gone down to 584 words per minute as a reading rate. 95% accuracy is still at 852 WPM, but I enjoyed my 100's across the board while I had them. Touch-typing has come out at 120 on computer and 72 on mobile.
I've also found myself rekeying for d's versus b's, and even c's and z's if I'm using US English sometimes. I wonder if it's worth a hearing test? Although even if it is, what'll they be able to do?
Those issues you mention are well known with Eloquence, and have been for at least 20 years, but given the issues with other synths, I still haven't found anything I can actually switch to. We need Eloquence for most things, then something else for reading letter by letter lol
From your responses, and seeing what's going on in your life, I feel like your issue could well just be that you're stressed and tired, and the brain doesn't do anything as well with either of those, so give it both to deal with and it just can't. You can only go as fast as you can go, after 27 years, you can't train to go any faster, so listen to your brain, listen to your body, and accept that you can only force it so far
@davetaylor2112 nope, but I'm itching for the change after 18 months of this.
Also, things around work will be different when I go back; the team restructuring means we can't do exactly the same level of work we have been. So although some of the current focus will remain, I'm hopeful we can broaden our remit to an extent which will make for a much more worthwhile variety of work. So fingers crossed on that.
I'm pretty sure you will find that you have to slow your reading speed down at some point, but it's not all about hearing, a lot of it is how the brain processes information as we age. I never could go anything like that fast, but I dare say, the harder you push it, the sooner that will kick in. For any kind of work to be sustainable, we have to go at a pace that doesn't actually tax us
@davetaylor2112 It's always felt so effortless. I stopped when it felt like I'd reached a happy level and that was well before college, so being slowed down has quite a sting.
That implies that you find it to be some sort of badge of honour to go fast. You might want to look at that otherwise you'll find yourself constantly judging yourself and feeling down on yourself as life goes on
@davetaylor2112 oh not at all, it's nothing I'm proud of having, just something i'm sad for losing. I probably took it for granted, more than anything.
Je viens d'écouter un podcast sur FranceInfo sur le mouvement « Au cash, citoyens ». Je ne comprends absolument pas ces gens, qu'est-ce qu'ils foutent ? Ils espèrent faire s'écrouler les banques, comme si c'était quelque chose de bon ! Oké, disons, vous avez réussi à anéantir, par exemple, La Banque Populaire. Et quoi ? Qui en bénéficie ? Pas de salaires, des petits entrepreneurs ferment leurs entreprises, les magasins aussi… chaos absolu. #France
Ils en ont parlé sur BFMTV il t'a quelques jours. Selon l'expert financier du plateau, leur journée d'action ne représente pas un danger d'écroulement pour les banques. Ils avaient chiffré cela au max à 5-6 millions € de commissions perçues en moins si jamais 2 millions de personnes participaient au boycott (bcp plus que les adhérents). Il faut savoir que les banques ont des réserves aux alentours de 25 millions €.
no, we don't. We brought Islamists everywhere, in some places there are no go zones and judging by hamas support in Western countries we can conclude that Qatar propaganda wing (aka universities) works very well

@Bubu ja stimmt, wurde auch immer anders angezeigt. Diesmal kam aber gar nix. Wobei jetzt seit 15 Minuten mein Mobilfunkempfang wieder komplett weg ist 😅
Zítra jdu poprvé zkusit vzít #kolo na nějakej real-deal výlet namísto drobných popojížděk. Vůbec netušim, co mě čeká, jestli to dám a jestli to dá kolo, ale kdo se bojí, chčije v síni!
Večer přemažu #Rockrider, nabiju powerbanku, pobalim hadry a na konci mě snad bude čekat zasloužený #pivo...
...anebo smrt :D
Vyrážím dopoledne, takže když někdo v okolí týhle trasy budete mít cestu, můžem pokecat (pokud někde nezabloudim :D )
Oh yes, we know your truth, and I’m a feisty bitch. The same Julie Deden who runs CCB, and regularly tells women who are sexually assaulted that “they need to not make this a big deal because it could wreck his life.” His, fucking, life? What about her life? The same Julie Deden who has been asked, multiple times, to step down and has refused? Sick bitch who should not be in such a high place of power.

@cublanco @tardis Sure, everyone is entitled to make a joke, and perspectives very on what others think is funny. It’s just in my line of work, I have to educate others about potential pitfalls of what they say potentially affecting their future. That’s all I was trying to do here. Have a wonderful day.
@technocounselor @cublanco @tardis I. Agree completely, if we were on facebook, twitter, and I was using my real name. Employers can easily look that up. For the record, my sense of humor is very dark and sarcastic, so not everyone will find it funny. So you’re right, I would put far less on facebook or even on a mastodon that uses my real name.
Don't be that paranoid, you are not entitled to give social media to employers, at all. So no idea why we'd even raise that up. It's not like we tag people or anything, this is fedi, if someone don't like it, there are plenty of choices. Every opinion is valid. And I don't know if any of you realise it, but people go to fedi to run off from popular social media, so there that. That was an unnecessary, if valid concern. Like I said, I am not dismissing, but we're all free to share. I created this because I don't care about the bosses of people. I do my job, you do your job, as long as that's a thing, no one really cares. Plus, let's be real, blind orgs suck, they probably have good stuff, yes, but if there are bad personnel, then the whole thing is caboom, untrustworthy, like who tf cares, even?
I should've mentioned created my account, but I got distracted. Bleh. Also, bad people deserve a little bit of torture, the slow kind, that life will give them, so whether we joke or not, life has a way of dishing it out, in the doubles sometimes.
@technocounselor @cublanco @tardis Also if an employer is doing a Google search for Kaitlyn Amira as part of a background check, they probably already know more about her than anyone should be comfortable with. Not her actual name, and how'd they find her Mastodon?
Um, masto public posts are very public. Well, you really can't google me, for example. Google here prevents me for example, to look at people's backgrounds, or anything about them. So yeah. Also, everyone does background checks, and as long as someone isn't an ass and harming people in actuality, I doubt an employer will jump on them. Masto stuff shows on Google if you know what to look for, but yeah.
This is a feature that I did not notice when I was doing my iOS 26 beta testing with VoiceOver. In settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, typing, you now have the ability to change under cursor output, change the way the cursor is announced when moving past text. The default setting is to announce text as the cursor passes, and the new option which I quite like for Windows screen reader users in particular, is to announce text to the right of the cursor. This means that in the new setting, you will not hear the same text twice when moving to the right and then back to the left when moving by character or word, does make the text reading experience much cleaner. By the way, this option has been available in macOS VoiceOver settings for quite a long time, glad to see it come to iOS.

@bagder@mastodon.social Regardless of the size of your code static analysis is allowed no more than 10 false positives. Coverity needs to withdraw that update and fix the bugs.
I know that is a hard bar (there are many projects more complex than curl, or so I would expect, many are much larger in any case), but too many false positives means you just mark everything as a false positive. I dropped all support for one tool because I finally tracked down a bug and right next to the line at fault was the comment shutting off the static analyzer - which is to saw we no longer trusted that tool anyway and so just shut it up without investigation so there was no point. By keeping maximum rule at 10 I'm able to confidently say we have investigated every false positive and we overall still trust the tool.
@bluGill I wish we had that say about what Coverity should do and not. As a user of a free service I can of course stop using it if I don't like it and that's about it and I bet Coverity care very little about that...
It was a surprise and a great honour to be called to the stage at #ELC Europe 2025 to receive a community contribution award from the hands of Tim Bird.

Totally don't email legal@branch.io asking about the broken contractual obligation to open source Nova Launcher. That would be sooooo bad to do!!! Don't mass email the corpo who bought out Nova and directly killed it, think of the poor CEO of branch (who also said they were going to open source Nova if they lost all full time devs) definitely don't do that. Totally not. That would be awful. To see one of the most powerful android launchers get open sourced. Wouldn't that just be terrible? Who wouldn't want a piece of Android history and the life's work of a small band of devs to be left in obscurity...
I've grown a bit tired of the web filling up with curl command line examples showing use of superfluous -X's. I'm putting code where my mouth is. Starting with curl 7.45.
1/3 "V pléne v stredu [Tomáš Zdechovský] hovoril, že miliardy z eurofondov miznú v projektoch, ktoré neslúžia slovenským ľuďom, ale nezodpovedným politikom a ich kamošom. „Kontrolné orgány, ktoré majú stáť na strate poctivých, sú paralyzované. Tam kde kedysi padali stovky žalôb, dnes padajú sotva dve ročne,“ dodal."
V rovnaký deň, keď bolo v Štrasburgu najviac novinárov kvôli Správe o stave únie, sa poslanci Európskeho parlamentu zaoberali zneužívaním európskych peňazí aj stavom právneho štátu na Slovensku.
