Let's work on some percussion and percussive sounds! And talk some theory in the process!Start your synth programming journey here: https://www.etherdiver.co...
Bro have you done anything with Surge? Free open source synth that is honestly insane. The main guy who worked on it also has a few other plug-ins and he cares a lot about accessibility. It's one of the few synths that's nearly entirely fully accessible using a screen reader.
@ZBennoui I installed an early version of it in like, 2019 or so, but haven't looked at it yet. I have heard good things, tho. If a bunch of people were interested, I'd def consider doing some coverage of it -- maybe a comparison with Pigments!
Anyone around here have a 16E and have anything good/bad to say about it? I pretty much don't have a choice in upgrading at this point (I'm running a XR which is unfortunately starting to have pretty noticeable problems being functional) and want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything major besides MagSafe and precision tracking with the 16E. I have absolutely no drive to upgrade, I'd stick with my XR if I could, and am not at all excited about the prospect of a new phone, but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.
Yeah, I have a 13 pro that is starting to experience some significatnt performance and battery issues, so I'll be upgrading too. Not sure to what. If I am not mistaken the 16E is something like the SE phones, but I might be wrong, it just sounded like that. Haven't paid much attention to it to be honest. If you find it is better than yours, I say go for it. I am going for one of the newer phones, I guess. Might save up some more and watch some more reviews before making any decisions. See some YouTube reviews of the 16E and decide for yourself, I'd say, weigh out the pros and cons, and see what suits you according to you. It should have enough battery for what you need it. I know the X phones aren't being updated as far as upgrading goes, but they'll receive security updates. I am thinking of changing the battery on my 13 pro, to see if I can go a bit more with it as well, if not, I will ship it to someonw who'll make better use of it than it sitting in a drawer here.

@twinspin6 this script is great, but a little messy. It's a single gigantic Elixir script. Automatically fetches and installs its dependencies. You just provide the gitlab URL and admin token as ENVs and set some parameters and it crawls the users and find spammer accounts to delete. It has interactive and automatic modes.

Yet another reason to stop using Chrome: Gemini is coming right into the browser, including the address bar ("Omni bar") by default. These features are computationally expensive at scale, privacy-destroying, and just plain annoying.
@feld I believe you are discussing a per-query cost, but the scale of inference is a different story. Every. Single. Interaction. With the Omnibar. And that also abstracts away the total cost of training the models, which continued use of them models incentivizes.
Every company has been very shady about their full energy usage, but the scale of data center and power investment tells the tale.
- the scale of their current design will cost them so much electricity they'll stop
- they'll optimize their inference engines to not need so much energy
I'm betting on the latter after seeing my friend's custom inference engine written in C with custom Metal/CUDA kernels which can stream the layers and data as it's needed, gives you essentially infinite context, has tool calling, etc
And it runs on a 10 year old Mac Pro. He can run Qwen on it. You can load a 32B parameter model without needing ten of gigabytes of VRAM.
edit: and it's fully deterministic and 100% compatible with PyTorch
I just find it so hard to believe that Google doesn't have anyone working on this. If they can't figure this out I guess my friend will be a multi-billionaire when he sells his inference engine to the highest bidder.

Every time I heard Charlie Kirk's schtick called "debate", it bothered me, because no Kirk clip I ever saw was anything like debate. Happily, Mike Masnick has saved us all from watching enough Kirk to properly describe what he was actually doing. techdirt.com/2025/09/17/the-de…
Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him”…
It is funny to be back in the place where I used to live for most of my life. Having been away for so long, I have all kinds of emotions: some positive, some negative. The mixture leaves me puzzled. Now, reflecting on them, I decide to concentrate on the positive ones. I have no use for the other ones. These are mainly ghosts from the past. Styria is lovely, the weather is perfect, it smells fantastically, and a school kid even fell in love with my Brompton.
"The overall design of Trump’s policy is clear enough: weaken the United States abroad to create an environment friendly to dictators, while using the American armed forces as an intimidation force to make dictatorship possible at home."
ABC just announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live will be suspended “indefinitely” over comments he made on Monday night about the killing of right-wing Christ figure, Charlie Kirk.
"Kimmel’s suspension has produced an uproar. Comedian Paul Scheer noted that Kimmel is off the air but Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Channel, who recently called for killing homeless Americans by 'involuntary lethal injection,' is still employed."
"Do people understand now what the authoritarian project is aiming for? ...
What happens in a society where one side is required to operate at all times and in all places in perfect good faith and the other side faces no such constraints?"
"Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show program was indefinitely suspended so billionaires can continue abusing Charlie Kirk’s murder to gain control of our media and lay the red carpet for Trump’s fascist agenda.
That’s the truth. Everything else is just propaganda, obfuscation, and pretext."
The broligarchy is consolidating power for Trump and MAGA, using Charlie Kirk's murder, to gain control of our media, crush dissent, and punish critics and comedians like Jimmy Kimmel
"We are governed by liars and crooks whose agenda is to demolish the rule of law and the rights of the rest of us, including our First Amendment right to free speech (Happy Constitution Day, by the way!)."
Hannah Arendt famously wrote, “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e.
"What happened to Jimmy Kimmel Live! is not just about a late-night host or a single corporate decision. It is a flashing red warning sign of how fragile the foundations of free discourse have become in the United States."
In a stunning move that exposes the fragility of free expression in American media, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been pulled indefinitely.
"Fueled by the rhetoric of prominent politicians, social media platforms have turned into a staging ground for collecting names and orchestrating campaigns to call for firings. Conservative social media influencers have encouraged people to submit posts of coworkers or community members, and then have used their large platforms to amplify calls for punishment."
"It is really important to understand the contrast between Trump’s behavior and those of previous presidents for two reasons [after a highly publicized murder of an outspoken ideologue]: First, to get a clear measure of the extent of our moral descent. And second, to fully understand the authoritarian dangers our republic is facing."
"As the nation reckons with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, there has been a notable trend from mainstream pundits and press outlets. They have tended to downplay or outright ignore the ugly things that he said and instead to stress the polite ways he said them. It's an emphasis on style over substance."
"This approach has been widespread in the punditocracy, which has almost uniformly moved to hold Kirk up as a rare avatar of civil disagreement in an uncivil era.
These pundits' paeans to Charlie Kirk's 'civil' approach to politics ignore the many illustrations of his incivility."
"Trump and MAGA did not get Kimmel suspended for a joke. They got Kimmell suspended for a show of power. They are sending the message to stick to their approved MAGA script or they will come for you."
"Don't you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition."
“You may think you’re angry over Colbert and Kimmel but as someone who is familiar with the history of Nazi Germany I promise you, you’re not nearly angry enough yet.”
"Kimmel’s accusation that Trump is using the Kirk murder for political payback was right on the money.
It’s not as if this is surprising. It’s not as if we haven’t been warned about what’s coming again and again. It’s not as if the President of the Right hasn’t signaled his yearning for absolute rule day after day after day."
"Donald Trump and his loyal enforcer Stephen Miller have once again revealed the heart of their political project: to recast the state as an instrument of vengeance against dissent. ...
Trump and Miller do not simply want to punish their critics—they want to reshape America into a machine of loyalty and fear. Their vision requires enemies because enemies justify repression."
"And while they cloak their project in American flags and talk of law and order, the blueprint is the same one authoritarian regimes across the twentieth century wrote in blood: silence the critics, glorify the leader, criminalize dissent."
"One of the necessary conditions for an authoritarian takeover is control of the media. It’s a critical step to quash dissent—turning a free press designed to hold power accountable into a propaganda organ that amplifies the state’s message."
"That could never happen here, right? Not with our long tradition of a vibrant, free media?
Well, the MAGA Right is on the verge of controlling the vast majority of the American media ecosystem.
A dynamic highlighted by the fact that Disney announced it was bowing to pressure from the Trump Administration and pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely because of comments he made about Charlie Kirk."
"The timing isn't coincidental. This is happening while people are still being fired for not mourning Charlie Kirk appropriately. Karen Attiah lost her Washington Post column. Airline pilots got grounded. Hospital workers were terminated. Now a comedian with one of the longest-running shows on television gets yanked off the air for making a joke about Trump…."
"Welcome to the new normal, where a late-night comedian making fun of the president is 'the sickest conduct possible,' but calling for trans people to be institutionalized was just Charlie Kirk practicing politics the right way."
Back when I started playing with Rust, it wasn't going smoothly, to say the least. I was ready to put it away and revisit at a later time.
Then came @liw, and gave me a quick, condensed version of their Rust course, and that was enlightening, to say the least. It wasn't a deep dive, it was about the basics, to get through the initial hurdles. But I got way more than that - pointers to where I could learn more, what to explore next, and how. It gave me a foundation to build on.
It was quite literally life changing, and I am eternally grateful to Lars for it.
If you're a FOSS programmer, and you're interested in Rust, their next session is an opportunity I'd highly recommend you to take.
I'm again running my free Rust training course for FOSS developers. It's split into two sessions of two hours. First session is on Wednesday, October 1 at 13-15 UTC. Second sessions is two days later, on Friday, October 3 at 13-15. See https://liw.

Ja byl v zivote v Blave asi 4x, ale ikdy se mi tam nelibilo. Prislo mi to strasne spinave, rozpadle, socialisticky hnusne ... Ale na rovinu, naposledy to bylo nelkdy kolem roku 1990... Verim, ze se to taky hnulo lepsim smerem
@cynik_obecny hele čo sa ja bavím so zákazníkmi tak všetci úplne všetci tvrdia že je Bratislava čistá a pekná, ja to až tak nevnímam ale fakt to hovoria všetci.

Is there any hope for update of #Datovka #flatpak? We are back in the era of Datovka being the last app for me holding org.kde.Platform branch 6.7 around.
I suppose it could be patched, but I'm not sure I'd like to spend time on it. I'm actually thinking about orphaning the flatpak because I don't feel very motivated to maintain it given the passively hostile attitude towards it by the upstream developer.
The detection of libdatovka fails with the newest version of libgcrypt. The reason is that libgcrypt no longer installs libgcrypt-config. See: https://github.com/gpg/libgcrypt/commit/2db5b5e995c21c5bd9cd193c2ed1109ba9b1a440
Asi přepnu do češtiny. Přijde mi, že Datovka celkově je v těžkém maintenance módu. Hromada věcí v linuxové podpoře je zastaralá. AppStream metadata musím těžce patchovat, aby Datovka na Flathubu vůbec mohla být. Možná to je tím, že vývojář už na to nemá v CZ.NICu prostor. To by možná věděl @aikencz, jestli to je pro ně ještě vůbec nějaká priorita nebo jen údržba, kterou někdo dělá na desetinu úvazku.
@aikencz Ahoj, díky za kontakt, ale bude to mít smysl? Už jsem s nimi (konkrétně Karlem Slaným) vedl několik diskusí na toto téma a vždy to byla neplodná diskuse bez výsledku, tak nevím, jestli bych měl od toho tentokrát čekat něco jiného. 🤷♂️
Dnes jsem to updatoval na 4.27.0 a při tom jsem se podíval na ten problém s libgcrypt. Mělo by to být vyřešené. Používá to teď KDE runtime 6.9. Během dneška by to mělo přistát v ve stable.
Hayden Field and New York Times reporter Kashmir Hill discuss how users of ChatGPT and other bots can become delusional or be driven away from seeking help.
You may have noticed that we no longer offer a public beta for JAWS. In the past, when we introduced major new features once a year, the annual public beta gave users the chance to test those big releases ahead of time. Today, we deliver new functionality continuously throughout the year rather than in a single large release. Because of this change, we have decided to discontinue the annual public beta. Instead, we now provide more frequent, incremental updates and also offer features via our Early Adopter Program, which gives interested users an opportunity to try out new features before they are broadly released. This approach ensures that everyone can benefit from the latest improvements as they become available.
oh gosh, wasn't there an add-on that forced UIA in Chrome for NVDA? Or am I dreaming of this. Would sure help me as enabling the flag: "Override software rendering list Overrides the built-in software rendering list and enables GPU-acceleration on unsupported system configurations. – Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android #ignore-gpu-blocklist" breaks all NVDA cursor tracking and reading in multiline controls. I kid you not. Test it yourself, enable it and restart. No idea what this does to break #NVDASR but there it is, it breaks it. I could repro it on two machines, go ahead. Chrome://flags is where it's at. (ah yes, this is now in NVDA's advanced prefs, yay! no add-on needed!) And yup. Doing that setting, to use UIA in Chromium and Edge to yes fixed it all. Wow, facepalm moment, ugh.

Do you even hear yourself, you complete ratfucking narcissist?
Danes can't be a minority in "their own country" unless you define being Danish as something other than "is a citizen of Denmark". And if you do define it in some other way, you're a fucking Nazi. And if you somehow feel that certain groups have more of a right to call it "their own country" than others, you're a fucking Nazi.
I am sick of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.
“if i hadn’t come out as trans i’d be dead right now” is a really common narrative, and it’s true for a lot of people, and it’s a big part of why trans rights are so important—it’s a life and death issue for so many of us.
but also. i just want to make it very clear: it’s ok to be trans even if it doesn’t reach life and death urgency for you. even if it’s *never* going to reach that point for you.
it doesn’t have to relieve pain. you can do it even if it’s just to feel *good*.
I'm really happy to see audio-description become part of live broadcasts on iPlayer for some web browsers. I'd enjoy reading about how that's done and the timeline for upping it to everywhere (I still can't hear Live BBC with description on my iPhone, for example).
@cachondo Yeah same and I know that there's work ongoing to provide AD and subtitles on more content. I'll definitely add that to the suggestions list, thanks! 🙏
Chtěli bychom na Mamutovo nabídnout lidem, kteří nejsou prozatím na Mastodonu, nějaký simple "starter pack" uživatelů, ze kterých by si zájemci mohli nazobat další zajímavé účty. Protože tady úplně nefrčí Follow friday, mohli byste nám pomoct vy?
Prosím, napište nám s hastagem #startovacibalicek účty, které stojí za to.
Stačí jeden, dva, ale klidně i víc, přebereme to, nějak základně roztřídíme a zkusíme nabídnout.
no bohužel to je, to, o čem mluvím. Dokud na české Fediverse nebude aspoň 20000 lidí, tak tu nebude takové to prostředí lidí soutěžících o to, kdo nabídne zajímavý obsah. Nebudou tu reakce na pod odkazy na články a tak.
Zatím jsme vzdáleni světelné roky od toho, aby šlo nabídnout zajímavý "starter pack" účtů nově příchozímu z ulice. Existuje strašně moc typů účtů, jeden jsou ti, kdo si chtějí prostě povídat s lidmi celkem o čemkoliv, nekontroverzně. Jenže ty nejde dost dobře dávat do "starter packů"....
Je to ošemetný problém, prostě jen napodobovat, jak to vypadalo na vrcholu Twitter bubliny, než ho koupil Elon, nejde. Mastodon je hodně aktivistický, aktivisté ale když se zrovna nevěnují svému aktivismu, jsou v podstatě docela nudní lidé.
Je třeba taky přijmout fakt, že spousta obsahu na sociálních sítích je vytvářena profesionálně, jen o tom nevíme...
@xChaos Jestli je něco, co mi tady nechybí, tak je to soutěžení o pozornost. Naopak jsem rád, že je to společnost obyčejných lidí s "nudnými" životy. Málokdo má život takový, aby jím mohl denně bavit obecenstvo. Podle mě má opravdová sociální síť odrážet opravdové lidské vazby. Moji kamarádi nejsou žádní supermani, kteří dokáží bavit tisíce, proto to ani nečekám od lidí, které sleduji tady. Právě tahle lidskost a opravdovost je to, čím je Fediverse unikátní. To by měl být náš prodejní artikl. Ne přenášení toho, co (ne)funguje na X, sem.
a o tom to je. Abych mohl publikovat cokoli mám na srdci, nikdo mě kvůli tomu nehejtoval a mohl jsem být svůj. Není to o počtu hvězdiček. Ale když mám problém a vykecám se z něj tady, tak se najdou tři, čtyři lidi, co mi poradí nebo mě podepřou. A to přece stačí.
Hvězdička tvůj život nezmění. Ale rada, nebo aspoň pocit, že někoho zajímáš to kurňa změnit může.
no, ehm, dobře. Někteří lidé prostě nemají vlastně nejmenší důvod být na sociální síti, dá se říct
Jediné, co jsem si dovolil říct, že většina typických uživatelů sociálních sítích tam není kvůli čtení dále nestrukturovaných automaticky generovaných přehledů článků. Jsou tu, aby se k nim dostalo něco zajímavého doporučeného lidmi s podobnými zájmy, tedy těmi, které followují. Tedy, to, že tenhle výběr začne za lidi dělat algoritmus, to se nám nelíbilo, ale právě že lidi si už odvykli, že jejich interakce je důležitá a že mají interagovat.
Prostě je to asi stejné, jako elektřina v asynchronním motoru: dokud ho nenabudíme, jen se klec volně otáčí naprázdno, když ji otočíme. Musí se přidat určité množství magie, aby to začalo fungovat. Chvíli se to vydrží točit setrvačností, ale to není ono.
Samozřejmě tu iniciativu vítám, ale šance na tu masovou migraci byla jedna.
Spíše, než se seznamy účtů, bych lidi učil pracovat s hashtagy. A hlavně, pro konzumenty obsahu to tu nebude zajímavé ještě dlouho. Vidím smysl v tom přesvědčit lidi, co rádi obsah vytvářejí, že tohle je místo, kde si ho můžou syslit "na později", a třeba znovu boostnout, až budou mít publikum, nebo tak.
Další věc je, že na začátku se tu šířily mýty typu "favování nemá význam" - favování tu není jen kvůli ovlivňování algoritmu, má význam i kvůli výběru obsahu pro archivaci, povzbuzení autorů, apod.
@xChaos nepříjemná pravda je ta, že většina lidí nemá zájem o nějakou sociální interakci online, proto nemá zájem ani o opravdovou sociální síť. Jak říkáš, pro ně to je algoritmizovaný feed s možností se s někým pohádat v komentářích. Tou opravodovou sociální sítí byly Twitter, FB aspol. tak akorát na začátku. Pak pochopili, že to tam lidi neudrží a změnili to na ty zpravodajské/zábavní feedy. Nemyslím si, že úspěšnou strategií je to replikovat. Myslím si, že ta síla je fakt v tom nabídnout tu sociální interakci. Ale to bude vždycky niché. Je to skupina lidí, které oslovuje Nyx, Hofyland... Úplně malá skupina to není, ale je roztříštěná. Ambicí Fediverse by mělo být to slepovat dohromady.
@sesivany @xChaos nj, doomscroling je tak báječný....dopaminek, pocit, že to tam žije... 🤣 Na mastodonu mám za pár minut sjeté všechno... V těch trendujících bych potřeboval víc. Ale většinou to jsou i zajímavé, nebo dost vtipné trendy, to zase jo.
@xChaos @sesivany A co byste řekli na opačný přístup? Udělat nějaký účet, který budeme sledovat s upozorněním a který nám bude představovat nové uživatele? (Těm by se místo starter packů řeklo, ať napíšou tomu účtu nějaké intro, které se přesdílí.)
@Jann To je moc dobrý nápad. To by mohlo fungovat. Akorát si říkám, že by bylo dobré úplně na začátek toho člověka oslovit, jestli o to vůbec má zájem. Někteří o tu pozornost nestojí.
@sesivany @Jann výhoda tady je, že ti to nikdo a nic nenutí. Takže i kdyby tě začal sledovat někdo o koho nestojíš, tak mute/block to řeší zcela elegantně. Když chceš být bludný kámen, můžeš být bludný šutr
@sesivany @xChaos jj, souhlasím s @sesivany ... taky nestojím o to, aby se z Mastodonu stalo druhé X. Jsem spokojený, že je tedy pohodové, klidné, netoxické prostředí, bez letek rusských a jiných trollů.
@sesivany @xChaos Ano a ne. Rozhodně mi neschází konverzační styl Twitteru, influenceři a jiné zrůdy, personal brand a tak. Taky inteligentní diskuse, kde na sebe lidi většinou moc neřvou je skvělý.
Na druhou stranu musím se přiznat, že jsou lidé, kteří jsou na Twitteru (a nyní BSky), a kteří mi chybí: pan profesor Snyder, pan doktor Romancov a tak. Sice je tu mám přes bird.makeup a podobné, ale to mě stále nezapojí do té konverzace. A všechny bridge zatím sajou.
@mcepl @xChaos Do jaké konverzace? Ty jim odepisuješ a oni na tebe reagují? Snydera bych rád na Mastodonu jako občana Snydera, ale k tomu myslím nedojde. Jako profesora Snydera ho sleduji na read-only Substacku a nepřijde mi, že bych přicházel o jeho podstatné myšlenky. Případně to tu můžu mít jako read-only bota. O co přicházím? Že se nemůžu připojit k desítkám dalších komentářů, které autoři originálních postů často ani nečtou? Tohle je podle mě falešné FOMO.
@sesivany @xChaos U pana Romancova bych očekával i ty jeho odpovědi, ale jinak se radostně zúčastním i diskusí čtenářů. Jasně, spousta toho jsou nesmysly, ale zdaleka ne všechno.
@sesivany @xChaos Jsem chtěl napsat něco podobného. Nemám potřebu soutěžit a píšu jen když mám pocit, že mám "světu" co užitečného říct. I proto mám někdy delší odmlky. Ale pokud někdo chce posílat jen random útržky ze svého života, fotky zvířátek nebo vlastní lyrickou poezii, je to stejně správné. Osobně jen oceňuju, pokud je v tom +- konzistentní a nemusím dělat moc změn v odběrech S těmi jsem btw opatrný, protože už mám problém to odsledovat.
Recently I've been running around like a frantic chicken looking for items that I feel like I've lost. It could be a screwdriver, or a memory card, random things like that. I realized now my solution to the problem. Putting things away with intent so it tricks your brain at committing it to memory. If you tell yourself internally, "I'm putting this away here because (X) or (Y)", it'll really get you to then remember where you actually put it. This feels simple at the surface but so often we just drop things on our desks, put them in drawers, in familiar-feeling places because we think our future selves will intuitively know where that place is, but in reality until you pause to do that with some intent you're going to keep forgetting where things are. Makes me wonder how many people's forgetfulness could be solved by that, not to say the least that there are conditions which can genuinely cause memory loss and we also shouldn't minimize that fact.
Designating antifa as a terrorist organization sounds funny, because it's not an organization.
It's not funny.
The fact that there isn't an organization is terrifying.
Because it means that when YOU say something ON HERE about leftist activism, YOU can be designated a "member" and be subject to extrajudicial execution. And there's no way to deny it, because there's no roster.
(I'm not saying there should be a roster. I'm saying this is fucking dangerous.)
Make fun of it all you want; they're still going to use it to kill you.
Eek! Nice to find out after a year or so that the corporate email system your client uses, that you access for your part-time consulting, has some "useful" automatic classification of email into folders you had never even noticed existed.
More specifically, "Notification" and "Newsletter" folders. It even says that "Smart filter classifies notification emails and alerts automatically to this folder".
Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea, to automatically put what it thinks are (and might actually be) important *alerts* somewhere else than the Inbox.
