Do you know this situation? You really want to get into making music, but don't know which keyboard to pick? You're visually impaired and you fear that the instrument of choice might not be accessible enough that you feel confident in your purchase? I've got a website where Ilist all the products I tested for accessibility and can wholeheartedly recommend to other people. I'm here to answer any question that might come up. The list will be expanded over time. toni-barth.online/gear/

so I discovered yesterday that gotosocial has support for local-only posting similar to glitch/hometown, which is great! unfortunately none of the clients I'm aware of appear to support it

if you're an android or JS dev, adding this to Tusky or Pinafore/Semaphore/Enafore would be a really cool contribution IMO!

there's an existing issue for Tusky but I couldn't find anything for Pinafore & co

What happens when a MIDI cover of a Classical piece gets written on and for an SC-88Pro? Big things. Very big things. This is a MIDI cover of an excerpt of "Daphnis et Chloé," a piece by Ravel. Arranged by Yu Nakajima (中島 祐), played on my ST Pro. MIDI (SC-88Pro sysex, multi-port): web.archive.org/web/2007012017….

Dnes už jsem schopen nějaké práce s textem, tak jsem sepsal, proč odcházím od Pirátů. Mnohým z vás bych to jinak dlužil po těch letech, co tu #piráti dělám reklamu. Už nebudu :(

פולמוס: נעמי קליין על זיכרון טבח ה-7 באוקטובר ככלי תעמולה בידי הממסד הישראלי - זו הדרך

zoha.org.il/133392/

> כל מפעל הנצחה מכוון לגעת בלבם של אנשים שלא נכחו במאורעות. אך יש הבדל בין יצירת חיבור רגשי לבין מאמץ מכוון להכניס את הצופים למצב טראומתי ולהופכם להלומי-קרב. מאמץ זה הוא הסיבה לכך שחלק גדול מהמיצגים של הנצחת 7 באוקטובר מתגאים בהיותם "אימרסיביים"

Cvičení "Core Killer"/10min 💙❤️💪
Začal jsem cvičit. I když to ukrutně bolí. Bolí to, jako když jsem poprvé cvičil v RÚ Kladruby (u Vlašimi). Začínám zase od začátku, ale já to zvládnu. Nechci se odevzdat, vzdát to, jen pro to, že to bolí a ještě to bolet bude.
A pak půjdu na ten cílený opich do páteře a to mi zase na čas pomůže. Nevzdám to...

#Europa necesita de inversiones para detener la caida del empleo

Para ello decidio imponer #aranceles a ¿todos? los #vehiculos que no se fabriquen en la #UnionEuropea lo que esta afectando de manera muy dispar a la #industria

Todas las fabricantes de #China deberan pagar al menos el doble y hasta 3 veces mas que la fabricante de #EEUU, #Tesla

Algunos articulos mencionan cifras, pero ninguno se atreve a poner toda la informacion sobre la mesa: ¿Cuantas ayudas reciben las marcas locales y cuanta reciben las extranjeras en sus paises de origen? ¿Reciben directa o indirectamente las locales (a traves de filiales o empresas mixtas) ayudas en los otros paises?

De esto NO SE HABLA UNA SOLA PALABRA en los medios

Lo ironico de esta medida que intenta ayudar a las fabricantes locales, ha sido que todas en su conjunto estan en contra... gracias a esto, #Volkswagen anuncio el cierre no de 2, sino de 3 plantas, #BMW y #MercedesBenz tambien tienen en sus planes reducir su produccion drasticamente, #Stellantis que habia llegado a acuerdos con la empresa asiatica #LeapMotor se estaria quedando sin nada entre las manos y arriesgando a tener que cerrar casi la mitad de su portafolios, porque las empresas chinas estan virando y bajandose de sus planes de inversiones para el viejo continente

Gracias a los aranceles, mas de 10 proyectos de fabricas que se estaban teniendo por seguras en #España, #Belgica, #Polonia, #Italia, #Francia, etc han sido detenidas por las empresas asiaticas, las que probablemente se concentren en #Turquia y otros paises con los cuales la #UE tiene acuerdos de Cero Aranceles

Con estos planes cayendose a las puertas del horno... mas de 1 millon de puestos de trabajo en la Comunidad Europea corren el riesgo de quedar en el paro de manera definitiva

Yesterday I said ‘no thanks’ to cake, as I almost always do. Then I saw two slim young women do the performative ‘ooh we shouldn’t really but let’s be naughty, we’ll split one!’ dance before ordering dessert. Then I thought: I've never seen men perform that ritual. Then I recalled these skinny mannequins I saw in a shop last year. I'm sad, cross and shocked but not surprised that we’re *still* teaching women to restrict their food and bodies so their appearance can please strangers and society.

We had our monthly community call again yesterday. Curious what we've been discussing and what might be coming to the next AntennaPod releases? Have a look at our short meeting notes: forum.antennapod.org/t/monthly…

@mensrea
You can, although we cannot guarantee it'll reach the folks who could implement it. Best place to do it is on forum.antennapod.org. But throw it out – you're probably not the only one with that idea and we might just have a link for you to an existing request 😉

@mensrea
We actually already have something along those lines. It's called 'Smart shuffle'. You'll find that option here: Queue > Three dots in top bar > Sort. For details on how it works, have a look here: github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaP…
Hope that helps!

remember alphachip, a 2021 google paper that claimed that their RL-based methods outperformed the state-of-the-art methods for chip macro placement?

according to this new meta-analysis, their results dont replicate and are full of errors. there's also been allegations of fraud 👀

This is awesome and I can't wait to see the progression in this type of technology! Keep in mind it does take a very long time to render the description on even a one minute video so don't plan on your two-hour movie being audio described in a flash. My colleague recorded a demo video in our little group tech training session and it was about 10 seconds. I think it took about one minute or a little less to give us the description. It was really cool, though.

If you've been looking for that next semi-cheap music-making fix but haven't decided what to get, consider Ableton Move.
If you look at the official videos, literature and documentation, you'd be fooled into thinking that it's not actually accessible. This is incorrect.
It runs a web-server for helping you manage samples,recordings and sets, but it also has an undocumented screen-reader which I demonstrate in this video.
Next to Komplete Kontrol, I can say that this has been the most innovative, fun and game-changing piece of hardware I've owned and I thoroughly enjoy working with it.

Excerpt from Peter Kirn's blog about Move:
‘How do I access Move with a screen reader?
Andre Louis has a walkthrough for you, as pointed out here in comments! And as always, it’s terrific. This is honestly worth a watch for sighted users, too, to understand how these interactions work – and it’s required viewing if you work in instrument design.’
