"I can't remember all those pronouns"

If you're not into Tiktok and shorts, but like your longform content, if you happen to like oldschool Rhodes and Wurli sounds from the 80's, you might like this overview I did of a recently-released product. I think it has some of the more unique sounds in the genre, and is very customisable which I demonstrate in the first 20 or so minutes. The last hour is spent going through my favourite sounds in the library, so yeah, this is a long one...

Question for those who own the Bible Courier: what TTS engine does it use? I have to admit that I'm intrigued by this device but I haven't yet seen it. Its price of $100 is just high enough that I'm not quite sure I want to order it but I am thinking about it ..

I’m not personally familiar with this product. But students in the passive owned something like this it’s usually an audio recording that’s broken up by Bible books, chapters, and verses in such a way that you can easily navigate to them using buttons. There is an awesome Amazon echo app called the Bible app skill though that works pretty good and has several different narrated Bibles. as an alternative.

I don't know what the TTS engine is, but it's a great device. There are so many versions you can get. Plus, it gives you the ability to navigate between book, chapter and even verse. You can also make bookmarks. I highly recommend it.

A gem by @pluralistic from a couple of months ago:

"Geometry hates Tesla, and physics hates Starlink. Reality has a leftist bias. The future is fiber, and public transit. These are both vastly preferable, more efficient, safer, more reliable and more plausible than satellite and private vehicles. Their only disadvantage is that they fail to give an easily gulled, thin-skinned compulsive liar more power over billions of people. That's a disadvantage I can live with."

Question about BT Speak for the blind hive mind. I have it set to expect literary Braille. I’ve tried the US Braille table and the UEB Braille table and still can only write in computer Braille in the editor. When prompted for file names, it accepts contracted Braille but not when writing a document. What am I missing?

Hi. If you want to write on the BT Speak using contracted Braille, ensure that the file has either a .brl or a .brf extension. Also, if you haven't already done so, feel free to follow and flag @BlazieTech in any of your BT Speak posts to ensure they'll see it. #BTSpeak

Hi! When creating a file, add .brl to the end of the file name. Then you ccan enter in contracted braille in the editor. Hope this helps!

I was like “LOL gnome feels the same about Lunduke as I do!” and then they were dicks about it - upholding gnome’s reputation also, I suppose.

So what if some new member posts a link to Lunduke article not knowing about some unwritten rule… and they get banned? Yeah that’s rubbish. Write your rule down somewhere FFS. This will scare off new or unaware users.

Hell, until recently I wasn’t even aware that others disliked the guy as much as I do. The most info I got on him being disliked came from his own articles, which was amusingly helpful. :neocat_laugh:

#gnome #lunduke

A user asks: If nothing else, can rule of anyone posting content from that person being a bannable offense be posted to the FAQ? Followed by gnome team member saying “Always Be Civil” already covers it. Posting rage/troll bait falls under that category. This topic is over.

Huh. Speed limits on Ontario hwys changed. I mean, folk were already doing 120 if no cops around, so 110 no big deal, so far anyway. When it registers, will 120 turn to 130? Not great for pollution, but we have an idiot PM who isn't big into science or environment.

hey dont tell people "holy shit your phone is old you should get a new one, the security issues!!!!"

do you really think i am happy that my phone that ive only had for six years doesnt get security updates despite working fine?

do you think i can afford to replace it?

"well then you should get a dumb phone and use your laptop for other things"

are you fucking kidding me? really? 1) my laptop is even older, it's 17", and takes like 5 minutes to start up, im not carrying that everywhere and 2) MOST THINGS DONT HAVE FUNCTIONAL WEBSITES ANYMORE

and really, do you think i should have to afford to replace it?

there is no reason my Pixel 3, which runs apps PERFECTLY FINE, should be abandoned to the ages. it's also one of the few Pixel models that cant even be given a new OS, since no one has worked out all the model-specific issues with it.

there is no reason i shouldnt still be getting updates, and no reason i shouldnt be able to easily switch to GrapheneOS or something else.

stop calling me a bad user for being 1) poor and 2) unwilling to give in to manipulative capitalist planned obsolesence. yell at the people making these decisions. my phone is intact after six years. im proud of that and i will use this until it goes spicy pillow.

PS give us back battery replacing, SD cards, and headphone jacks

well there's gradle but it takes some time to get used to and has some weird quirks especially when working in a multi-project build (a root project with multiple subprojects which can also have subprojects and so on). I hope that at some point a good build system for Java comes along, but that's unlikely (unfortunately).

I'd like to clarify the origin of the accusations against #ImaneKhelif because I don't think most people realize where they came from. The vitriolic mix of of misogynist, transphobic and racist insults against the Algerian athlete started days before the match, largely on Italian papers belonging to far-right politicians and businessmen. Here's a few examples from late July (English translation of the titles is in the alt text). 1/8
A screenshot from an article from Italian right-wing newspaper "La Verità". The title says "In the gender Olympic games an Algerian man will throw punches at an Italian woman". In the original Italian the adjective "Algerian" uses the masculine form which is why I translated it as "an Algerian man".
A screenshot of an article from Italian right-wing newspaper "Il Giornale". The title says: "Olympic Games, trans boxers will be able to fight against women."
A screenshot of an article from Italian right-wing newspaper "Il Giornale". The title says: "A boxer who is biologically a man is part of the women league. Woke delirium at the Olympic games". Note that the word "woke" is used in the Italian title as-is, having been adopted in the language by Italian right-wing politicians. The same politicians who often rile against the use of foreign words in Italian.

This stuff was quickly picked up on Twitter/X by Italian far-right and Russian disinformation networks that amplified their content and eventually reached Elon Musk. Musk felt obliged to share them even more widely. Italian right-wing parties have had long ties to Putin's regime, so it's completely unsurprising to see them spread the same disinformation. 5/8

Which brings us to the reason why this stuff was brought up in the first place: Italy's far-right government is running into trouble, being completely incapable of running the country, and has been isolated within the EU, even managed to fight against other European right-wing parties. This fall they'll probably have to enact large budget cuts which will be deeply unpopular, so they're trying to change the public discourse to *anything* that is not governance. 6/8

The employee who helped me at the shoe store today was amazing. She tapped where I was supposed to put my foot to give me a sound as a reference. She had me feel where on a shoe she was talking about when explaining things like toe box shape differences. She offered to get my guide dog water, but never once petted or talked to him. You get the idea. It's rare to have someone adapt to a visually impaired customer that seamlessly. I just emailed the store so the employee and her manager know it.

Has anyone found a barcode scanning app that yields even close to as much information as the ID galaxy mate did? I sold my galaxy several years ago when I was in a pretty financially tight situation, and have missed it ever since.

every single cent the EU seizes from bigtech in penalties should be redirected to fund @NGIZero

anyone with me?

in case you haven't heard yet: EU is planning wild budget cuts in the area of open source funding in their HORIZON program. This directly affects NGI big time.

dear @EUCommission , please continue funding NGI . If you don't there will be less and less tech and people left that are willing to develop and run europe's vision of a free and democratic internet.
