@Thumper1964 I doubt it. In fact, I doubt this will change the schedules or formats of these channels. The real question is will these channels survive and/or remain profitable as cordcutting continues to increase?
This is a labour of love and fighting against my own self deprecation. I've been told my whole life that I was tone deaf and a terrible singer. I had to push myself real hard to start getting singing lessons at 39 years old, and publishing this song, knowing that it's not perfect. I still hate the sound of my voice, and I know that I can do better, but I needed to let this go and move forward.
This song is about abuse, and finding the courage of stepping away from a toxic situation, starting with the simple step of breathing out, in order to breathe in again
Mate, if *this* is something you had to push yourself to publish, I can't wait to hear what you'll put out when you've improved to a point you feel comfortable with. It's really good. Congrats, and I'm proud of you for putting in the work, effort and self-care to get to this stage.

I really, really can’t say enough positive things about server-side Swift. I literally had no backend experience before this year, but I decided to write the entire backend for AltStore PAL in Swift and after some initial hiccups (*cough* URLSession *cough*) it’s been remarkably smooth sailing. Plus I can still use Xcode to develop everything & cross-compile for Linux!
If you’ve been wanting to experiment with server-side Swift, there’s really no better time to start swift.org/documentation/server…
Every time I have to deal with the libatspi C API, I want to bang my head repeatedly against the desk. The Python bindings around it moved from a "we're writing static bindings so might as well make them more idiomatic" to a big "let's fix the C API" layer, but nobody is fixing the C API because that would require breaking backward compatibility.
I'm not even going to touch the fact that it took more than 10 years to get the RPC interfaces to match the implementation…

As Canada tries to staunch an overflow of temporary #immigration, tens of thousands of international students and recent grads may be forced to leave the country. Here are their stories.
"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.
That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."
Why does this silly homework system insist on having at least one question a week like this? is there a visual thing to learn, as a teen here, that actually writing "2.146". wouldn't provide? It bothered me as a kid myself having to 'feel' analogue clocks, but I don't see interpreting the number in this way is any different to reading it from a screen in the first place?

Hallo @Friendica Support , meine Instanz dica.interfel.de liefert seit vorhin Err 504 Gateway Time-out zurück. Sie liegt bei Uberspace und der DNS-Eintrag funktioniert offenbar. Die Datenbank scheint auch ok, ich habe gerade erfolgreich ein Backup davon erstellt. Konsole und Performance auf der Konsole, Quota usw sind ok.
Die einzige Änderung der letzten Monate ist die Aktivierung des Addons Bluesky. Es lief bis gestern Abend sauber und hat drei Accounts von Bluesky in meine Timeline integriert. Mehr nicht.
Habe als erste Maßnahme gerade auf der Konsole versucht, das Addon zu deaktivieren, aber der entsprechende Befehl scheint das Addon nicht zu finden: [... bin]$ console addon disable bluesky [Error] Addon nicht gefunden
Der Befehl zum Auflisten aller aktiven Addons liefert auch nur eine leere Liste: [... bin]$ ./console addon list enabled +------+---------+ | Name | Enabled | +------+---------+ | | | +------+---------+
Gibt es irgendwelche Ideen dazu, was ich tun kann?
So funktioniert schon mal der 'disable bluesky'-Befehl - zumindest kommt keine Fehlermeldung. ./bin/console list enabled wirft allerdings die gesamte Liste aller Addons raus, obwohl ich nur einige wenige aktiviert habe.
Der '504' kommt immer noch. Es ist die Friendica 2024.06.
Kann ich über die Konsole irgendwie einen relevanten Status herausfinden? ./bin/console maintenance 1 bzw 0 funktioniert übrigens einwandfrei.
Leider kein Protokoll mehr, nachdem die Instanz seit langem unauffällig lief. Kann ich das Protokoll (trotz "Ich hoffe...") manuell irgendwo einschalten?
Der Fehler ist behoben, aber das Konsolenkommando zum Einschalten des Friendica-Protokolls wäre bei Gelegenheit trotzdem von Interesse. So für das Befehls-Archiv.
Habe aufgrund Deines Hinweises mal das PHP-Log von Uberspace aktiviert. Das dauerte sehr lange und hatte schon durchs Einschalten dutzende ERRORs im sehr langen Logfile. Dann auf die PHP-Version auf 8.1 umgestellt und erneut das PHP-Log aktiviert. Drei Zeilen im Log und "ready to handle connections".
Laut History war zuvor PHP 8.0 aktiviert und war wohl Ursache des Problems. Irgendetwas muss vergangene Nacht bei Uberspace verändert worden sein.
Die Instanz läuft nun wieder erwartungsgemäß und Deine Hilfe bei der Konsole hat mich auf die Spur gebracht. Vielen vielen Dank dafür!
bin/console config system debugging zeigt den aktuellen Wert der Einstellung an, 0 bedeutet kein logging, 1 bedeutet logging. Wenn du den gewünschten Wert als vierten Parameter übergibts änderst du die aktuelle Einstellung, also zum Aktivieren des Protokollierens bin/console config system debugging 1.

Das war zwar wirklich herumstochern im Nebel, aber oft reichen grobe Indizien, um ein Problem einzugrenzen. Von Beginn an war da das Gefühl, es liegt in der Infrastruktur begründet. Daher auch zunächst die Tests bezüglich DNS, Quota usw.
Es brauchte nur den passenden Funken - Logfiles. Ich arbeite einfach zu selten auf dieser Ebene, um von selbst darauf gekommen zu sein.

Real time collaboration software and text boxes that rapidly save drafts to the cloud essentially log your fingerprintable typing behavior. The industry refers to this information as “keystroke dynamics” or “typing biometrics”.
Keystroke biometrics are difficult to anonymize without installing software such as kloak or browser extensions (the latter of which may add fingerprintable vectors) designed to cloak some of your typing habits. Signature typos, approximate typing speed, etc. will still leak. Alternatively, we could normalize typing messages out in a simple offline editors that don’t store revision history before pasting them into other input fields.
Would any editor with an undo history apply as well?
Even for the case of vim, where (I'm not familiar with how history is really stored, only guessing that) undo checkpoints are determined by switching from insert to normal mode, there is still fingerprintable information in how often and where someone switches to normal mode.
@hedy Strictly speaking, yes. But since it’s stored offline I’m less worried. I’d be even less worried if programs on Linux were sandboxed properly by default and had runtime permissions to view shared filesystems.
What a refreshing story!

@Tamasg I can already think of suggestions, but this is super awesome that it has finally happened. I will tell you you do have to adjust your speed inj the general tts aria. they don't ahve a speed thing yet in the actual app, and I had to put it at 78 percent just to get it at almoost a normal rate, but like I said, this is alpha. I am sure there will be lots of changes being made kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkksoon.
@JamminJerry lol as bad as it is, it's making me wonder if we could get it ported on iOS too just as we have the ESpeak one, but it's an entirely different beast there and Android needed more of the TTS options with as stale as some of the engines were going.
@Tamasg @JamminJerry And with Optispeech in development, we'll have a better, definitely more future-proof alternative to Vocalizer for those seaking a human-like speech engine that's actually responsive.
@JamminJerry oh noooo. If you have ADB access to the phone by chance you might be able to remove the package via the PM command and then it should revert your TTS to the default installed one
@Tamasg oh boy! I think I might have found a phone that the dec-talk doesn't like. lol. just tried to change from google tts to dec-talk on the smart vision 3, and it is like the whole phone froze. lol. touch screen isn't working, and even the arrow keys are not working at all either. woopsy! lol.
@JamminJerry oof yeah, that's quite a pickle to be in right there. Sometimes I've "blindly" tapped the bottom right corner of my screen which accepted it, but it's such a hit or miss type situation then.
@JamminJerry hmm. You'd first need to find the exact package name (unless Jack knows this) - type: adb shell pm list packages | grep "micro" Then you can do an adb uninstall with that package name after words.
@JamminJerry well, the "grep" part there at the end filters through for you, so in theory it should only show packages that have the word micro in their name. You can play around if nothing comes up with other names like "dectalk" in case the package name isn't exact.
ah darn. that's right, it's windows being Windows. you'll have to separate them (so do adb shell first, then hit enter, and the other part of the command after) You can just type exit after to go back to the command prompt and do adb unstall like normal with that package name.
@Tamasg oh dear. I think something really broke. I just tried pressing and holding the volume keys to get talkback on, and I got a notification sound, but still no talkback. oh boy.
@JamminJerry wow hmm. Maybe it needs a full reboot? In theory it should revert you to the last enabled TTS (or a default one like Pico / Google TTS if those came with the system)
@Tamasg oh wow! I think talkback got totally hosed! so I just pressed the google assistant button, and said, "turn on talkback." I just heard from google that talkback isn't available on your device. this isn't good at all!
@Tamasg what if somehow I get the latest talkback installer, and somehow install it using adb? could that work, or would that break things even worse? I mean I would somehow have to get the installer for talkback, but yeah.
@Tamasg ok, it works. it works. meaning talkback is talking again. I don't know why it didn't say it was avaialble, but I have talkback once again. lol.
@JamminJerry yeah, I think sites like apkmirror do host the files for the accessibility suite, unfortunately you'd need to know if you have a 32 or 64-bit chip (most times these days that's arm-64) and grab the right apk file for it. I'm in a work meeting else I would xD
@Tamasg we learned a valuable lesson here today. don't install the dec-talk tts on the smart vision 3 or you will really screw things up. lol. if you are still going to try messing with the dec-talk on the smart vision 3, make sure you have ADB connected, and aloud on the smart vision 3 before installing dec-talk so that if it does what it did to me, you can at least uninstall itk, and get talkback working normally again. lol. I did get it to talk once, when I pressed and held the volume keys to turn talkback on or off, but only once did it say anything at all.
@JamminJerry lol! Super glad you got it working! Wish we could debug exactly what's happening with that phone, in theory things should work since it has both 32 and 64-bit libraries, so maybe certain Cotlin-based apps don't play as nice on older Android versions. Was looking at it though and love how minimally it's built.
@Tamasg @JamminJerry Works great on the braille sense for everything and sense player for third party apps that use android tts. I am finishing my demo tomorrow showing why we need android tts support throughout the sense player.
@JamminJerry @jpellis2008 sadly maybe not. They treat it differently from their BrailleSense 6 a bit which is a shame, and maybe that's on purpose, who knows. This is good news though as it does mean it'll work with the BS6 which I do have to test it out on with Android 12 there.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg I can tell you right now, I don't see the whole third party tts thing going anywhere with the sense player. they will just tell you it is a multimedia device.
@Tamasg @jpellis2008 well like I just told him, it isn't going to happen. they won't do itl. if I am wrong in the next 18 months, I will give him 15 bucks.
@JamminJerry @jpellis2008 lol I think the issue is that the Sense Player is not Play certified like the BS6, and to them this makes enough of a difference to class-distinguish it. I still can't get why they couldn't play certify a device at that price unless it's hardware related though, but it may be why they locked down shell and settings so much on that.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg they could, yes. they could have done it way back when I talked to them three different times about it. they didn't, and they won't.
@JamminJerry @Tamasg And that is exactly why it is needed and I will be pointing that out. If it was hard for them to actually implement it I would agree with you but it isn't, just backport from the braille sense. I assume it might literally take seconds to change the code.
@jpellis2008 @Tamasg I will tell you what. if I am wrong, and with in the next year and a half if they actually make it to where you can use what ever ttws you want on the sense player, I will pay you 15 dollars. no it isn't much, but there you go. I am telling you it isn't going to happen.
I am also pointing out in my demo that this has nothing to do with any certifications as I have the braille sense signed out of all google services so it acts as if it isn't certified.
@Tamasg @jpellis2008 as much as that thing costs, they could have done the play services no problem. for what you pay for that thing, they should have built a better body for it too. hell! the victor is cheaper, and doesn't do anywhere near as much, but it is built a lot more stirdy than the sense player, and what in the hell is it with the microphones on the wrong side? not only that, why is the monitoring recording so shitty? seriously? I mean come on!
Dectalk for Android recently fixed a bug that caused it to default to an abnormally high pitch range. As a parting gift, here is said bug as if it were an expiring trial of decTalk for Android.
@fireborn It's a dictionary parsing issue that is being worked through. I think because Microdectalk is 4.2-based, and the 4.99 dictionaries aren't entirely working.
@fireborn Yeah, they're trying to make it run on Dectalks' standard frequency with some success in a test environment, but right now on the actual builds it's using Microdectalk's default.
"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

"In his new book, Supercommunicators, the journalist Charles Duhigg writes that one of the most common sources of conflicts in relationships is when partners don’t agree on the type of conversation they’re having. Some conversations are practical: Let’s solve a problem together. Others are emotional: Let’s talk about and understand our feelings. Many fights mistake practical for emotional conversations, and vice versa."
I read in a magazine today that, by 2040, only 1.5 million people in the UK will rely on a TV aerial. There were supposedly some in that picture and I wonder how many of them are up without being used these days.
