V tomto okamžiku by měl prezident říct “víte co, dám Andrejovi abolici, táhne se to dlouho, stejně nakonec dostane maximálně podmínku, tak to pojďme ukončit”.
A to bys viděl, jak by Macinka fičel. A Tomio by strachy seděl v koutě ve svém kulatém domečku 😇
A možná by na tom vydělala i ČR, protože Andrej by sice prskal na předchozí vládu, ale nechal by se vodit jak Hurvínek většinou lidi.

so after a lot of work, thanks to a few people, here are some links of interest, some of you may want these, others, may not. note, that I was not responsible for creating the contents contained in these archives, I'm just the host of the archives. Hey, you might even like these as test files for speedtests, lol! Firstly, here's the original main menu early years 7 zip file, covering 2000 to 2008, raw from the ACBRadio FTP server, curtisy of @sclower. file size: 5.51GB. downloads.shaned.net/MainMenu_… Next, curtisy of @gallagher123123 is a zip file where he reorganized, into one folder, per year, this same collection from 2000 to 2008. It looks like he also combined show segments into one file per show. file size: 24.5GB. Why it's almost 4 times the size of the previous file, I don't know, lol! downloads.shaned.net/MainMenu2… Next, curtisy of files provided by @Bri we have a main menu archive, organized into a folder for each year, and one file per show, for 2009 to 2015. File size: 18.5GB downloads.shaned.net/MainMenu2… and finally, you want everything from both zip files in one massive zip file, covering 2000-2015? Of course you do! note: this does not include the contents of the 7zip package. File size: 43.1GB downloads.shaned.net/MainMenu2… I hope these archives are of interest, to someone. note these links are perminant, and will not change. Enjoy!

I wish I wasn't so irrationally irritated with the folks who pick out my github username from gods know where and ping me in random issues or pull requests for random "Fix this!" or "Merge that!" reasons.
It's often not even my own project. Used to happen with Godot for a while, at a point when I hadn't merged any PRs in like 5-6 years. Often I don't even have merge rights on the project.
It's wrong, sure, but idiots gonna idiot whether or not my blood pressure spikes about it.
Just seems so entitled, though. "Hey random person! Do my thing now!" Fuck off.

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!
*Your* privacy and right to anonymous web browsing is at risk!

The government has to discover that there is an illegal VPN being used in the first place.
It is quite possible for millions of VPNs to be made available to UK children, hosted all over the world. Perhaps hosted by children, sharing the small monthly server costs. Quite secret, extremely difficult to find.
The proposed law could only ever hope to apply to a few big VPN companies. Which just moves the VPN usage by children underground, where other dangers lurk.
"We don't need to worry, because the govt will not be able to enforce it" is the counterpart to legislators who say "we don't need to put in detailed definitions & restrictions, because we trust police & prosecutors to use the powers responsibly".
History has proven both are always true until they aren't.

I've read this quote multiple times, over the years:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
It turns out it's from a comment on a blog post moaning about liberals: crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l…
The rest of the comment is a lot more interesting than the pithy quote, because it cuts through a lot of the usual noise in leftist discourse.
Thanks to you, I was able to message the author of the comment for permission to print it out as a zine. Thanks for rooting up the source!
I'm totally lost, I'm still trying to figure out what the Conservatives are trying to conserve. Seems to me like it's all the rules, regulations and laws that we have spent since the Renaissance trying to be rid of. . .. .. But then I'm an anarchistic what would I know about this politics stuff

Fun fact, there are 120 settings to tweak which are language related in NV Speech Player. Yeah, no more settings for sure. We're done. Let's either (A) tweak the settings we have, or (B) actually use them well in language packs. LOL. This is a bit insane to find out. 120 settings.

Hey when I'm finished with the formant stuff from praat, how would I send em to you to ad into nvspeechplayer?
@GoemonIshikawa would be very curious. Is this a data containing CF1 to CF6 values (and Parallel formants too) or just like, here's the frequency and sound for a specific IPA symbol? Either way, some kind of file, even if it's JSON or text works, it doesn't have to be the same format as my current data is but I can pull useful info out of it both manually and probably AI to see how it helps.
Actually it gives info for all 6 formants and the bandwidth for said formants, as I've updated the Yaml files with em. I've only updated one phoneme as a test, but it looks to work, but I can't look to test it out with any words like code for the O phoneme.
While we're here, you know what would be fun, for someone to make a collection of all these old synths and stuff em into one collection for people to just do stuff with no screen readers attached!
@GoemonIshikawa Lol, or an application that just lets you load / choose which wrapper, and engine, then you could have a Speak / convert to wav window the universally covered a bunch of these old synths. Haha. How fun of an idea but totally illegal too. Well, making the app itself is totally legal, because it's just reusing wrappers that talk to the engines which makes that a bit ironic. What's more in a gray area are the wrappers themselves, since they technically do link against comercial products, but I'm not worried with how extinct the companies behind those synths are these days.

Wondering. Ice and border patrol don't wear uniforms / show their faces apparently because of doxing. Why do police show their faces, have badges with their names on them, etc., and don't worry about doxing? Is it mostly that police actually being reasonable people? I just figure that Ice might be respected more if they acted human. Did Ice have badges in the past? I know masking is new. Doesn't make sense at all.

Das "Heizungsgesetz" habe eine "enorme Unsicherheit in den Markt gebracht", sagte Katherina Reiche heute beim Handelsblatt-Energiegipfel.
Zumindest für den Wärmepumpen-Markt scheint diese aber überwunden zu sein: Dort wurde mit 299.000 verkauften Geräten 2025 das bisher zweitbeste Ergebnis erzielt, wie der Branchenverband heute mitteilte. (1/4)
Ich darf korrigieren: Die orchestrierte Kampagne und Verunglimpfung der Wärmepumpentechnologie, die Verzerrung der Historie und Inhalts des Gesetzentwurfs, persönliche Angriffe auf #habeck durch die #niemehrcducsu und #springer sowie das Durchstechen einer Vorabversion des Gesetzes durch die #fdp haben enorme Unsicherheit in den Markt gebracht.
Und ich darf ergänzen: Und die Inkompetenz und Fossil-Industrienähe von #gaskathie, die offensichtlich die Erneuerbaren ausbremsen will, bringt nun auch weiterhin Unsicherheit in den Markt.
Augenscheinlich ist sie jedoch glücklicherweise auch darin wenig erfolgreich. Es lebe die Inkompetenz!

hmm. I wonder if releasing on GitHub might be easier for folks, rather than Eurpod. I am considering doing this and keeping one file there. This might break my old posts, but GitHub releases are more trackable, the repo is frozen at that tag, ETC. There's just clear benefits to release them always as a pair (editor + Add-on) whenever I make a change. From here on out, I think that's going to happen.

@x0 @NikJov @bigpawedbear @miki @FreakyFwoof yeah, I thought there was a way to read the person's computer's region (not sure if this user-agent? probably not) they could do it location-based, but that could mess with those on a VPN, so detecting it somehow on the OS level feels better. I know you can detect the browser's language, and the HTTP-accept header is probably set based on that too.
@NikJov @bigpawedbear @miki @FreakyFwoof Accept language header is the proper way since they don't have accounts where you could set the language. After that, could perhaps fallback to IP if browser doesn't specify, else fall back to English.
Saw a reference to Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ this morning, which was funny because just yesterday I was explaining to someone it’s where one of my key prioritizing heuristics comes from.
There’s a proverb in the book that goes something like “Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”
Of course, logically this makes no sense—everything that happened twice is a thing that also happened once.
But I take it to mean “Once something goes wrong twice, it’s time to pay attention.” Once could be a fluke. Twice means there’s something going on. The second time it happens is where the phase change from noise to signal begins.

Today, for the second time in my life, I have been asked to convert a "pirate" copy of an old (50y+) movie into the DCP format, for a cinephile club. Not because they do not want to pay the copyright holders, they actually did. But that did not give them access to any copy of the movie, they are on their own.
The previous time, the distributor would only send them a French-dubbed version, which was a no-no for them.
They are not even obscure unknown movies, but classics. 🤦♀️

High‑pass RMS (a good proxy for “sharp edge”):

HP RMS > 2kHz: 0.0201 → 0.0150 (≈ 25% less)
“words” (ending only):
HP RMS > 2kHz: 0.01337 → 0.01048 (≈ 22% less)
And the overall RMS stayed basically the same, so it shouldn’t sound “weak”, just less prickly.

Uznesenie o brutálnych represiách proti demonštrantom v Iráne
V uznesení prijatom vo štvrtok poslanci Európskeho parlamentu vyjadrujú svoje rozhorčenie nad represiami a masovými vraždami, ktoré pácha iránsky režim na protestujúcich v Iráne.
Parlament bezpodmienečne požaduje, aby iránske orgány pod vedením Alího Chameneího okamžite ukončili násilie voči pokojným demonštrantom, zastavili všetky popravy a zastavili vraždenie a represie voči civilistom. V plnej solidarite s iránskym ľudom a jeho odvážnym a legitímnym protestným hnutím dôrazne odsudzuje rozsiahle, úmyselné a neprimerané použitie sily bezpečnostnými silami.
V uznesení poslanci vyjadrujú znepokojenie nad tým, že vražda tisícov protestujúcich signalizuje znepokojujúci posun v potláčaní disentu iránskym režimom od odstrašovania k strategickej eliminácii. Poslanci požadujú okamžité a bezpodmienečné prepustenie všetkých protestujúcich, obhajcov ľudských práv a novinárov, ktorí sú v súčasnosti zadržiavaní.
Parlament vyzýva Radu, aby bezodkladne pristúpila k úplnému označeniu Zboru islamských revolučných gárd vrátane milícií Basídž a síl Kuds za teroristické organizácie. Požaduje rozšírenie a prísne presadzovanie reštriktívnych opatrení EÚ vrátane zmrazenia aktív a zákazu vydávania víz, víta nedávne sankcie USA a vyzýva na rýchle kroky EÚ proti všetkým úradníkom a subjektom zodpovedným za represie.
Parlament nakoniec zdôrazňuje, že akákoľvek normalizácia vzťahov s Iránom môže nasledovať len po bezpodmienečnom prepustení politických väzňov a skutočnom pokroku smerom k demokracii a právnemu štátu, pričom víta rozhodnutie svojej predsedníčky Roberty Metsolovej zakázať zástupcom iránskeho režimu vstup do priestorov Európskeho parlamentu a vyzýva členské štáty, aby nasledovali tento príklad.
The d͡z version showed sharper energy around high frequencies (3–8kHz). To fix this, I redistributed the energy by adjusting various parameters, including pa6 and pa5. Next update. Words like " words" and "sounds" have less sharpness already but it didn't lose its sound.

Alright, work meetings. No SpeechPlayer updates for a bit. Someone's asking for Russian, really can't promise that'd be ready by next driver with how complex it is of a language. If I add Russian I'd also be tempted with Ukranian, Belarusian, and Serbian. so it would come in with similar languages, just as we have all the Germanic ones, and then each would get their own tuning treatments. But large work. The initial scaffolding I can make, native speakers I can't just birth out of my stomach.

Working on another vibe-coded text game. I need to find a place to put these. Should they go up on LWorks or somewhere else?
well, they are good on lworks site, but you should also look into the super egghunt page caue at the moment people can't buy the game. it says ordering information is coming soon.
