I somehow manage to get interested in the most random things. My current craze? Player pianos and other mechanical instruments. Band organs, orchestrians, music boxes. Found this rendition of It's a Small World for player piano yesterday, and it has been stuck in my head ever since. It sounds so lively and happy. youtube.com/watch?v=ZQsdqzfivQ…

Seguramente no sabréis que la Dirección General de Protección Civil en España, dependiente del Ministerio del Interior, edita de manera totalmente gratuita una obra llamada "Vademecum REMER" orientada a la Red Nacional de Radio de Emergencia pero que cualquier persona puede descargar y consultar libremente en su ordenador. Contiene muchísima información sobre meteorología, navegación aérea, catástrofes, cabotaje, cartografía, primeros auxilios, orientación, conversión de unidades, radioafición...

Se puede descargar desde cpage.mpr.gob.es/producto/vade… pinchando en "Consultar documento en línea" y abriendo el index.html. Aunque la última edición es de 2017 trae un montón de cosas que no pierden vigencia.

Impuestos bien empleados, si me preguntan.

Este año estamos teniendo varios fallos técnicos de última hora en #EsLibre, y esta vez necesitamos la magia de Mastodon.

Estamos buscando una instancia abierta de #Mobilizon para poder subir el registro al evento, ya que nuestro Mobilizon está fallando sin motivo aparente.

¿Nos ayudas? Confiamos en que alguna comunidad amiga pueda echarnos un cable.

Writing an article with plans to paste into it a screenshot of a Numbers table. This multi-line, multi-column table would require a lengthy image description for screen readers. I realized I could just make it a Markdown table so everyone could read it, but that would be tedious. Then I thought, “I bet someone else has solved this!” I found the lovely John Franey’s site Table to Markdown, copied/pasted my spreadsheet & I’m done! Bought him a coffee using Apple Pay.

Screen reader tip:

If you often have long-running operations in your terminal, don't want your screen reader to talk constantly while they're going but want to be notified when they finish, define the following alias (works for ZSH and Bash):

beep() {
$@
echo -e '\a'
}

And then execute your commands like:

beep python long_running_script.py

You can set your screen reader to quiet, and your terminal will beep once the command is done.

I also have a more advanced version of this that sends any error output to my phone via Telegram in case of failure.

#Trump losing 17% of the vote in a closed swing-state primary to a candidate who dropped out months ago should lead to a lotta commentary about his weakness. It won’t, because the press is obsessed with Trumpers sticking with Trump regardless, but it should.

Imagine how they’d cover Dean Phillips pulling those numbers against #Biden.

I wonder if it's to do with HFC male and the inflection paterns used in Votrax? I have just realised it uses some of the lower inflected speech only partially like in the reclaim help file, it says reclaim really weirdly at the beginning, the claim is said partly in low and the default monotone voice. Mine was doing this in reading some whatsapp messages like "It looks really painfull to be honest". Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
in reply to Tom Grant

@TomGrant91 ah yeah. That's a bit unfortunate. My goal this week is to create more samples though honestly. Just add a lot more. For both models. I'll be re-generating them again in a few days, but right now work has got me swamped with a million projects. Many tickets to solve and engineers to collab with. My brain is just too focused on work. I'm a workaholic, real bad. Haven't even taken vacation days this year, probably will here in the coming weeks to relax, make voices.

Овсянка обыкновенная — распространённая птица в Средней полосе России. Её незатейливая песня слышна в полях уже с марта. Птичка имеет золотисто-жёлтую окраску, отчего выглядит яркой и хорошо заметной, размером она примерно с воробья.

Тёзкой каши она стала потому, что раньше в зимнее время селилась вблизи постоялых дворов, где были лошади. Там пернатые кормились овсом и в результате этого и получили своё название.

Птица любит семена растений, которые мы привычно называем сорными: одуванчика, крапивы, подорожника и других.

За час посиделок на ветке, она способна исполнить до 300 мелодий. Услышать их можно начиная с марта и до середины лета.

Есть мнение, что Людвиг ван Бетховен написал свою «Симфонию № 5», вдохновившись пением овсянок. Сходство конечно есть, но так ли это на самом деле неизвестно

С овсянок (пока там только они) начал создавать свою базу голосов птиц и диких животных. Замахали авторские права, запутался нафиг, решил своё делать.

@fireborn I like it because, although I now have access to the tts the way I want on my phone, I still can't:
Use it for over 20 hours without a recharge.
Operate it with a damp hand, or just a finger through fabric.
Have over a thousand books available at any given time without wasting valuable storage for other things.
Know that, if I use up all the battery, I've not lost access to GPS or other vital resources.
Take it wherever I go; it clips to anything I wear.
Listen privately at any time, including in bed without having sharp things in my ears.
in reply to Sean Randall

@fireborn I didn't mention my different profiles, either.

* Bath mode locks most keeypresses, plays for an hour minimum, not pausing between book chapters and starting the next one automatically if I finish.
*bed time plays quieter, pausing at the end of each chapter or every 15 minutes minimum, and lets me go back through a track rather than skipping to the previous one if I press the left key.
* Transport mode does a bunch of optimising of the eQ and volume so I can hear in louder environments.

And so on. SO much customisability!

Just opened the next #AudioPorn commissioning round! If you are a #SexBlogger or #Erotica writer, I'd love to turn some of your work into audio!

The aim of the project is to make sex writing more accessible to people using screenreaders, so I'm looking to license *existing work*. Get paid for stories you've already written!
