I tried it. It's got a long way to go before prime time. Not sure if it's due to limits set by #Gemini or what. But, Yes, you can tab through the elements, but not much else. Plus, it seems to take over windows when that screen is in view, to where I can't alt tab or anything until I close this app out. This after generating what's on the screen. Can't even use jaws navigation keys.
Virtual machines need to be configured to get the best experience. So I wrote down the steps I use when I'm building a Windows virtual machine. And after 18 months of using Linux as my daily driver, I have added KVM specific steps!
After making the leap from Windows to Linux over 18 months ago, I have been using KVM for virtualization. Like most hypervisors, virtual machines under KVM need to be configured to run at their best. KVM is not different.
Something probably stupid that I wish I could do as a blind music producer is look at the waveforms of my tracks/mixes in Reaper. like yeah your ears are the best and most reliable tool but they can be biased by headphones, how you slept, allergies like I'm experiencing today, etc. Plus there would just be something super satisfying about putting something together until it sounds good, then looking at the master's waveform and tweaking the frequencies until it fills out the entire frequency spectrum just right. I'm assuming the answer is no because I can't even begin to fathom how something like this would work, but is there an accessible tool to do this?
THere were attempts to handle this for blind sound engineers using sonification. You can find the "accessible spectrum analyzer" plugin on this page: tbproaudio.de/products/accessi… However, the problem is that you will still have to rely on your ears. If multi-line Braille displays became cheaper, we might have a hope!
Gotta say having been in many so-called professional studios is that waveform looking makes certain engineers lazy as all get-out and I hate it. 'Oh let me just drag this thing here, OK looks like it's lined up with the other tracks...' Don't even bother to play it, bounce it, test it in the car (and yes this *has* happened) only to find out it was off by a noticeable amount. I wish I was lying to you.
@FreakyFwoof Nods, I'm sadly unsurprised. You're always going to have those. I can see the benefits to looking at the waveforms though, make sure your mix fills out the entire frequency spectrum. But the number one rule is to trust your ears! just use the waveform to check your work. Or at least, that's how I'd use it.
Ask yourself *why* you want a mix to fill out the frequency spectrum though? Did it sound good *before* you did that? Did it sound any better *after* you did that? Is it possible your track *might* be used as a bed for someone to talk over, and there's just no space for voice because you phattened it up like a mix pig for slaughter with your waveform frequency-spectrum-filling? Did you watch some video on youtube that says 'OMGOMGOMG if you don't fill this mix right out nobody will ever listen, and you're a bad, bad evil bad person if you don't do these 15 steps to waveform filling right now!'
When I say 'You' by the way, I mean the general You, not You, Quinn.
My students sometimes come to me and say 'Why don't we do this particular compression trick in every mix?' I have to ask them 'Do you need to? Is it important that you do?'
@FreakyFwoof EDM is full of that kind of thing, although I think it's more commonly ensuring that you don't have a bunch of instruments all crowded in one band, E.G> when this happens in the lows it becomes muddy, and filling is a sort of side effect. Totally understand though. It makes sense for some genres more than others. And that's still a spectrogram, not the actual waveform. All the *waveform* is good for, IMO, is aligning transients and carefully avoiding pops and clicks from joins. And maybe micro edits to clean up a sound, remove little pops etc.
@x0 @FreakyFwoof I do think you can still achieve a similar mix, even at comparable loudness, without having access to tools like this. It would definitely be nice, but it is not a must. If you know the techniques and if you reference often, you can get there easily. It is a tool that won't automatically help you make your mixes sound great. You can check mono compatibility, frequency crowding, all of those things purely by sound as well using utility plugins. So I agree I'd love to have those kinds of plugins, but it's not what stops me from trying.
@x0 @FreakyFwoof For example, frequency crowding becomes very apparent if you solo an EQ band, play with the Q and then sweep. Mono compatibility becomes very obvious if you add a utility and then solo either the mids or the sides. You can also combine them.
Filling out the frequency spectrum is not quite useful, white, pink and brown noise do that already with some changes to the lower frequencies for the two latter ones.
What you are looking for is an even distribution of the existing frequencies (Teote, Ozone, Hornet Thirty-one, WavesFactory Equalizer, Grand Finale, DSEQ3, Gullfoss, etc) do this, exciters and saturation to add new harmonic content, just to mention a few things. Ultimately, these tools, despite the aggressive marketing some of them have, can't replace your ears but they provide fast results if you don't want to focus on mixing and mastering. You still need to tweak things and it's very easy to overprocess your sound of course.
Several books could be written about how many things could influence your sound, both while mixing and mastering (from the headphones or monitors you use through the room you are in, to what your genre needs), not to mention when your final master reaches your listeners. Their hardware, environment, ears, etc, will color the sound as well. You could have a perfectly neutral master and someone could quite easily make it heavy on bass just by listening to it on gaming headphones, or better yet, listen to it in a car.
This is a very complex and overwhelming topic, but if you need advice and you really want to make your sound better, listen to the same genre as much as you can. That's how you train your ears to get accustomed to things that stick out (resonate) and over time you will learn what instrument is problematic in what specific frequency areas. Most importantly, less is more.

More and more I am looking through @Delta Chat apps and resources I believe this should become number one messenger of choice for screen reader users. The developers are constantly improving its #a11y. It's secure from the start of using. Additionally the desktop chat has under gone an #accessibility audit and accessibility issues are clearly documented in public. I am not sure other messenger style app on the planet has such dedicated commitment to accessibility ever.
We recently got an accessibility quick scan from HAN. They took some time to discuss/test the app with us in a call and gave us a report. treefit and wofwca also made notes during the call, this is...
I am happy to hear this, just trying to come up with a way to host an email server via my home internet. Dynamic IP (should not be an issue), ISP blocking SMTP ports (25 and possibly others) which is where I'm stuck.
Is there a way we could test that? Before we decide to use it or so. I don't know how it works, so I'd like to test it. Call me an experimentalist, or something. ;)
I also have an Android, Mac, Windows, and if I make linux work, I will have too many things and it'd be fun to try it on. Should be a fun little experiment. I sent you a dm, and asked you a few things so we don't spam. LOL
@Erion Yes, SMTP port 25 for server to server communication is a protocol requirement that is not possible to substitute I am afraid. In the readme of the @Delta Chat #chatmailrelay they are recommending to use a cheap VPS to host the whole thing or route the public IP address to your home using VPN.
it's correct that the current chatmail relays require port 25 to be reachable. There are some discussions around other server-to-server transports, reflected in github.com/chatmail/relay/issu… even if mostly talks about Tor. The email system is traditionally pretty flexible about transports, especially server-to-server ones. There are also some deployments that use uucp for long range radio based transporting between MTAs.
We want to be able to accept mails from .onion domain. We cannot have DKIM authentication as there is no support for DNS (see https://forum.torproject.org/t/mock-dns-records-for-onion-services/4671...
@clv0 My biggest problem adopting this is, I can't find a reliable, IMAp-compatible mail provider who wouldn't ban me after five minutes for trying, in their eyes, fishy apps. Any tips?
@clv0 Yes, it works great for chatting between Delta users. I was hoping, however, that I might be able to chat with my regular e-mail contacts, using Delta as a more convenient interface to achieve that while they use whatever they usually do to access their emails. I believe the default server requires authentication on both sides so Delta needs to be used on both ends.
@Piciok @clv0 ah, using delta for cleartext mail requires a classic email provider indeed. It's best to use a separate profile for that, and not mix it with e2ee encrypted chatting.
@clv0 Which is where my problem kicks in. I was the most successful with Onet, one of the biggest and best known Polish providers, however they banned my newly created account instantly after noticing I was chatting from Delta, no doubt sensing suspicious activity.
@Paweł Masarczyk While testing I have used gmail or my own classic email account. It worked but I have understood using #chatmail servers is what makes it most attractive. I think I have read a blogpost from someone a few months ago explaining this very well that inspired me, however I can't find that article in my browser history right now. CC @Cleverson @Delta Chat
@Paweł Masarczyk @Cleverson I know you are looking for a way to stay in contact with people you are already connected to using traditional email. Still I would recommend creating a #chatmail account on your relay of choice just for testing so you can start with an empty profile and you'll get to experience the @Delta Chat the way it has been meant to. Then as an exercise continue with other more advanced scenarios such as classic email login. The #chatmail based onboarding is really very simple, there is nothing to do wrong.
@clv0 @Piciok I just went with the default one cus I am a lazy asshole who doesn't know how to set up his own email on his domain so here I am: whx9djio8@nine.testrun.org
@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you will need to share an invite link because the email address it not enough to establish end-to-end encrypted communication. You can get the invite link behind the QR code button. Moreover, we suggest to send such an invite link privately, to prevent abuse by anyone joining a chat ;)
@patricus @clv0 @Piciok you can post the invite link publically but some of the MITM-protection guarantees that invitelinks provide degrade then. In this case, somewhere deep in a Fediverse thread limiting visibility of the post to "mentioned users only" would do it.
Dutch public TV has (only) three channels, but it still offers you some freedom of choice. Like right now you can choose whether you want to see the very same footage of Remembrance Day watermarked with the logo of NPO1, NPO2 or NPO3. 🙄
If this was not enough, there are four more extra online only channels - broadcasting the same thing again (NPO1 extra is a small exception as it adds sign language)

I’ve lost count of how many times I was dismissed with very serious issues because I was ‘too young’ and/or a woman.
My Dysautonomia was missed for years because ‘you’re too young for heart problems’
My EDS wasn’t diagnosed until my late thirties because ‘you’re young and otherwise healthy so the pain is in your head’
After my hysterectomy, I bled into my belly for two weeks while the ER repeatedly sent me home saying I was ‘too young’ to be having a serious post operative complication.
Misogyny, discrimination and bias in medicine kills. It disables. It traumatizes.
I was lucky to survive my experiences, but I don’t want any of us to survive based on luck.
We deserve the same level of care as men, and I will keep fighting until we get it.

Lo de los jueces me lo tienen que explicar como si fuera un niño de 4 años. 15 puñaladas pero no hay ensañamiento. Lo de los atenuantes por alcohol o drogas deberían desaparecer del código penal, porque no hay tragedia de este tipo en que no se apliquen, de lo que se deduce que son utilizados por los delincuentes para conseguir rebajas de condena.
Condenado a 14 años de cárcel tras asestar 15 puñaladas a su pareja cuando tenía a su bebé en brazos
La Sección Tercera de la Audiencia de Jaén ha condenado a 14 años de cárcel a un hombre que en septiembre de 2022 asestó en Úbeda (Jaén) 15 puñaladas a la que era su pareja cuando ésta intentaba escapar con su hijo de dos años en brazos.
A ver, esto es difícil de entender a veces, pero el ensañamiento es el uso de medios que aumentan deliberaadamente el dolor del ofendido. Es decir, tiene que ser un caso en el que se utilizan medios que no son necesarios para buscar el resultado previsto en el tipo penal, en este caso asesinato (con alevosía). Teniendo en cuenta que el reo apuñaló intentando matar, y paró una vez que pensó que había obtenido el resultado, no se puede considerar ensañamiento, porque los medios aptos para causar la muerte ya están comprendidos en el tipo penal del asesinato.
@modulux 15! 15 puñaladas! Ensañarse hasta conseguir el objetivo. No debería tener muchas interpretaciones, porque son 15! Puedes pensar en 2 o 3, pero joder, que son 15!
Ya, pero la persona no murió, entonces es difícil decir que se aumentó el dolor del ofendido por encima de lo estrictamente necesario para obtener el resultado del tipo. Ya sé que esto no es consuelo para nadie.

Firefox? Not sure about that. I use Floorp, based on Firefox but only because I am too stupid to get Mullvad running. Librewoolf, Vivaldi and Waterfox are also alternatives to consider.
