to me their branding was always about trickery, using the brightest colors, they even went for a white color.. all that establishes trust, the apps clearly don't look evil, look how colorful they are, and it's Google, surely they wouldn't betray our trust, it's an established brand after all.. people really be thinking like this at the back of their minds, sometimes they voice it (that's how I know)

Approaching the Bug Zapper
backintime@tuta.io as the projects mailbox is currently unreachable because it was disable by an automatism (6 months no login) at the hoster.
We try to get in contact with @Tutanota to fix the problem.
Hi there. Please note that we make it clear in our terms of service upon signup for Tuta Mail that free accounts will be deleted, in the case of 6 months inactivity. This deletion due to inactivity is only for free accounts. We have this policy in place to help clear up space and it enables us to continue to offer a private email service for free to others globally.

This is about opening a payed account. Will it provide POP3, redirection to other emails, filtering? That was my problem with tuta: I am not able to test that features because they are hidden behind a paywall and there is not something like a 14-day free-trail.
Ok. Part of "Reich Remixed" just came up on shuffle. Time to locate some marimba samples for my Spark drum machine and make overlapping, evolving, polyrhythmic lines.

Gathered as many marimba wav samples as I could find and imported them by note and octave or chord (C2, C3, C4 Cmaj, Dmin, Fmaj, Gmaj, Amin) for 8 of the 16 pads into up to 6 slots that are ordinarily ordered by velocity, but I chose "random." The interface ("Spark 2") has basic editing abilities, so I trimmed the leading silence on a few of the samples. This is pretty sophisticated for a "drum machine." But in reality, it is with the software that drives it.
Now I have sort-of a marimba...

Here's what that "Randomized Marimba" sounds like (with no effects obviously). I added a bit of tabla for a rhythmic point of reference.
I am the best drum programmer ever! Here is a demonstration of my drum pattern programming prowess. I'm sure you'll agree that you'll want me to program your next ... ah, screw it.
This is a recording I found from 2018, when I was purposefully doing stupid stuff with an old Alesis SR16 drum machine. In this instance, I purposefully assigned most of the samples of a kit to the same choke group so they would cut each other off, then sequenced two really terrible bars.

Wie viel Idealismus ist eigentlich realistisch, wenn die Grundbedürfnisse bedroht sind?
Vermutlich kann es keine Antwort geben, die immer zutrifft. Jetzt, wo ich finanziell besser aufgestellt bin, wähle ich in jedem Fall bewusster als in der äußerst von Hunger geprägten Kindheit und Jugend. Dennoch war es mir auch damals total wichtig zu helfen, wenn ich die Möglichkeiten dazu hatte. Aber wer weiß, wie es gewesen wäre, wenn der Hunger lebensbedrohlich gewesen wäre. Ein gewisses Level an Existenzsicherung braucht es vermutlich, um nicht nur zu überleben sondern um Werte als unumstößlich zu entwickeln. Gut möglich aber, dass ich gerade den Holzweg gefunden habe und munter auf ihm wandere.
There are some tiny haptic things in iOS 26 that I like. When a call is answered (not just ringing), there's a haptic effect. When a call ends by the other party hanging up, and you hear the three beeps (I'm in the U.S.), each beep has a haptic effect. Oddly, I've had a non-VoiceOver user tell me that the haptic effect for Face ID verification was removed.
The haptic effect wasn't removed for face ID there is a toggle somewhere for it now. I turned it back on.

Ich hatte vor 1/2 Jahr einen Unfall. Letzte Woche meldet sich eine Filmfirma bei mir. Man hätte damals im Rettungsfahrzeug gefilmt und will da eine Doku draus machen. Wahrscheinlich hätten die Rettungskräfte „vergessen“ mich zu informieren.
Ich bin also unter Schock und während der medizinischen Versogung über Stunden im Rettungsfahrzeug ohne mein Wissen und meine Einwilligung heimlich gefilmt worden.
Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen, wie wütend ich bin und wie ethisch verwerflich das ist.
@Colognerin Ich verstehe deine Wut darüber. Die Wird spätestens in den Kommentaren sehr deutlich. Ich glaube allerdings, dass du rechtlich eher schwer durch kommst. Der Fokus der Aufnahmen war die Arbeit der Rettungskräfte und nicht dein Zustand.. Die rechtliche Ausgestaltung gegen gaffende Menschen dürfte daher nicht einschlägig sein. In jedem Fall hoffe ich aber, dass du früher oder Später zu einem Ergebnis kommst, das für dich in Ordnung ist und ich hoffe, dass es dir nach dem Unfall wieder gesundheitlich gut geht!

Time for a pointless story from my world no one needs to care about. Ever since the #iPhone launched the #ProMax variant, I purchased it year after year except for one backup device one year. So this year I did the same. Now however, I find myself visiting with a #Pixel10Pro and thinking ooh it's so small and I don't have to extend my fingers out to full length just to wrap my hand around and hold it in portrait orientation. I'm petite you know. 😀 So now I find myself wondering if I shouldn't sell the Pro Max and downgrade to the Pro just for easier handling. All the while I keep imagining my friend @JonathanMosen saying to me see, it's those cases you use go phone naked and you'll feel better mate. Life is such a funny thing. 😁🤣🤣
@FreakyFwoof Nothing wrong with that at all they have some very very nice cases. I was just looking at a bunch of them for the pixel that’s why I was curious which one you like because each manufacturer has so many different lines. I liked the Spigen rugged armor and liquid armor and ultra hybrid mag fit cases when I was looking at them. Thank you as always for being such a sweet and kind human being as to always indulge my curiosity. In other news, my favorite hard drive jumped up in price. It made me sad. I am hoping it will come back down for the holiday sales.
This is why sometimes you gotta just grab while the price looks good. That happened to me too. I got lucky though, it came back down in price a few days later.
Apparently the latest MAME now emulates the Yamaha PortaSound PSS-170. Too bad I haven't figured out a way to get anything out of it. I can start the system, but then it just sits there, because apparently from what I've gathered via NVDA OCR, the various buttons on the keyboard have no keyboard assignment, and I can't accessibly assign them since the MAME UI is completely inaccessible except through OCR, which gives zero feedback as to where you are, what option is selected, etc. I seem to recall @tspivey wrote a patch to allow one particular version of MAME to communicate console output to NVDA, but that was for one specific MAME binary, and hasn't been updated since, and that version doesn't support the Yamaha PSS-170.

Do you know if the actual keyboard had a midi in port? If it does, you might be able to get sound out of it by setting Mame to pull from a midi device, such as Loop Midi or a midi controller or something. Unfortunately I can't really help much since it's been ages since I used Mame and don't remember much. But I do remember getting midi input working with several old Casio CTK roms, and even a Yamaha Mu50 I believe, though that particular emulation was very hit and miss, last I checked.
I woke up thinking it was Monday.
Also, I'm sad that it's not Monday.
Yippee! Wasn't sure how to interpret "Useful stuff."
My reply was not very helpful though, so I thought you may have been irritated or upset by it.
Long-term battery test: Does fast charging actually harm smartphone battery longevity?
The results are quite clear. Fast charging does not lead to significantly reduced battery capacity after 500 charging cycles on either iPhones or Android phones.

Long-term battery test: Does fast charging actually harm smartphone battery longevity?
The results of an extremely complex and professionally presented long-term test are clear. Several iPhones and Android phones were divided into different charging groups and tested over several months.Alexander Fagot (Notebookcheck)
I think, but I'm not sure, I entirely understand this psychological oddity of mine. I'll spend tens of thousands of dollars on steak dinners over time, tens more thousands of dollars on computer-related gear, audio gear, ham radio gear, etc,etc, but I won't send this stupid fbleeping FreedomScienceFiction Focus 40 Blue Gen 5 braille display in for repairs. My thinking is that I hold such little value for the damn thing, that it pisses me off so, that I just can't bring myself to send it somewhere, for an unknown bill that will come my way for having clean/fix/whatever done to it to bring it to working order. But I really do miss having accurate, proper, usable braille, that's for sure. So I'm stuck back at square one. Do I send it in for whatever its going to wind up being, or wait until some potential future opportunity comes along to get a better display entirely. I really want multi-line technology. But that's like if you already own your house, a vacation home, a cottage, a yacht, your partner's multiple vehicles, and can afford a $40,000 braille solution. Well, that's totally not me. But I suppose that's what dreams are for. eh?

LOL, get it fixed so you can sell it for at least whatever it cost to fix it, therefore breaking far less than even, while telling yourself that you did to make yourself feel better... Oh wait, no, that's something I would do. Never mind.

The entire narrative around "scientists need to learn to be better communicators" is seriously misguided.
Scientists communicate just fine. They communicate with accuracy and purpose. That is a core skill for good science and has been for a very very long time.
We need to stop blaming scientists and recognise that the media landscape is devoid of skills to understand basic science methodology and communication. And absolutely lacks the most fundamental motivations to even bother engaging with real science.
Our society is flooded with misinformation and clickbait. This is not a "science doesn't communicate well enough" problem. Media is no longer about information, it's about entertainment. The solution is not to force scientists onto TikTok. It's great when you see some scientists who happen to be effective on social media or TV... But this is not going to be true for everyone in science and neither should it be. Don't turn science communication into a popularity contest.
You're looking at the wrong end of the horse if you think the solution is just "scientists need to communicate better".

@FreakyFwoof loving this stem splitter in Logic Pro.
Is there any way you could batch split an entire album for example? I was going to try and just bring in a whole bunch of tracks, highlight them and see what it could do.

I'm usually ready to defend Lufthansa as not being as bad as some travel influencers make it out to be.
That Swiss flight from Montreal to Zurich was very mediocre though...
Anyway I have a 12 hours daytime layover in Zurich. Any tips?
Within one hour by train, you'll get to the Rhine Falls (Rheinfall), then take the Bus to Schaffhausen, see the Munot, and finally go back by train to Zurich Flughafen. Doable within 6 hours (without eating).
In a certain way, I guess it's a blessing that you have enough layover time to visit the town. The only time I went through that airport, there was not enough time for that, and that airport is one of the most depressingly boring and uncomfortable ones I've seen 😑
P.s.: it was great meeting you last week to discuss the mobile XMPP clients landscape! I hope some of my teammates will start sending small merge requests your way soon, as I recommended we standardize on Conversations.
