I've just released App2Clap, a CLAP plug-in that captures audio from a specific Windows application. It can be used, for example, to record audio from another application into a DAW like #REAPER. Windows 11 is required. It's very early days, but it seems to work here. Check it out at app2clap.jantrid.net/
@BorrisInABox Apparently it works for @Scott and he's on Win10. Theoretically, it should, but the OBS devs ran into issues with Win10 which I don't want to deal with, but Scott's findings make me think maybe those bugs were fixed. Try it and see. It will either work or it won't.
Mastodon's bizarre overly complex quote post implementation is so bogus there should be an organized campaign against it called Quote Control RT: mastodon.social/users/Mastodon…
Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5
@m I guess the fediverse will fracture further than it already is and it's once again Mastodon's fault for trying to jam their personally preferred "experience" into the specs
@raucao how can Mastodon claim to be "for journalists" with this ? This feature is not good for them; if the quoted person doesn't like they're getting press they can press a button and stop it?

Chuck Schumer says we should mourn Kirk's death. Ezra Klein says Kirk did everything the right way. Gavin Newsom "admired his passion and commitment to debate."
The Overton Window is continuing to shift because Democrats are actively assisting MAGA in shoving it further to the right in a sickening display of fascist bipartisanship.
@jcape I still don't see (missing context / info). But then I have found them being related to an employer that I would disqualify on the spot via patent filings. So maybe it's a good enough reason.
No serde, cxx, thiserror, anyhow. The list is longer than that.
I don't know who the author is or how bad that is or why, but assuming it's about their personal views, I wish more people realized about all the thousands of people building Windows and OSX and so on, which we know nothing about but surely there are many baddies. All to say, I try to have a thicker skin in the open source world, while still advocating for us all to be better. We're under a bigger microscope and are held to a higher standard. It's hard to compete with secrecy.
A post by @JamesBazan reminded me of one of my absolute favorite and the most profound quotations from a book. In fact, this book has many others. I'll let you discover others on your own. Here are a few.
“Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. … Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.”
“You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
The family economy evades calculation in the gross planetary product. It's the only deal I know where, when you give more than you get, you aren't bankrupted - but rather, vastly enriched.”
@jcsteh And it captures so so much in just a few sentences. For all the ableism (and so much of it internalized ableism), I love that series. The exploration is the whole set of themes there.

Les lecteurs d'écran comme NVDA peuvent être configurés pour signaler des attributs de texte comme le gras ou l'italique. Cette fonction se trouve dans les paramètres de formatage des documents de NVDA (appuyez sur NVDA+Ctrl+D). Comme vous le dites, ce n'est pas la valeur par défaut. Il est important que tout ce qui est transmis par le formatage soit également transmis par le texte. Voir WCAG 1.3.1 : w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understandin… et w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/g…
Here is the English, just in case Google messed up the translation to French: Screen readers like NVDA CAN be set to report text attributes like bold or italic. This is in NVDA's Document formatting settings (press NVDA+control+d). As you say though, this is not the default. It is important that anything conveyed by formatting is also conveyed in text. See WCAG 1.3.1: w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understandin… and w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/g…

Hey musician mutuals and beyond, I think we need a community hashtag for our releases. I don't wanna miss the music you're sharing with us! I've tried to use lists for this, but we all post about more than just our releases, so those get buried.
So I propose we come up with a catchy hashtag for sharing released music. I like that we have #bonkwave, #gearsquad, #MusicProduction, but I sure could use something just for releases. Any ideas?
@vick21 @FreakyFwoof I have no idea lol. Wait and see which ones get used and take off? I'm already following most, if not all, of the hastags recommended. :) Maybe I'll also do a poll later.
Hello @RogueAmoeba love your new update to Soundsource. Thank you! Have you considered / are able to use Chrome windows / tabs as separate sound sources vs the whole Chrome as an application? Also, is there a technical way to apply balance to specific sources in addition to the main output source? I have a good use case! :)

Wow, thanks for this link. It will take me a bit to listen to the whole interview, but I really like what I hear so far! She is so cool and with so much integrity!
@vick21 For example, you know, there were rumors like "She doesn't have any voice anymore", or: "Her voice became rusty because she smokes and drinks" — all of this is simply lies and BS. she had indeed suffered and her voice changed, but because, well, she visited Chernobyl in April 1986 and gave a concert for the liquidators. Then, after coming back to Moscow, she organized the first ever charity concert in USSR for those suffered from the Chernobyl catastrophe. If this is not bravery and honesty, what is?
@vick21 No, in Israel, where she moved with her family in 2022 when Putin's Russia began persecuting her husband first. He is also exceptionally talented, Maxim Galkin, I mean.
So in the long run until gtk6 all libraries using gobject need to port to gtype?
Haven't counted Christoph's list lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/ but let's say 50-80 libs? That's a lotta work or a lotta stuff left behind. Assuming only the core api.pygobject.gnome.org/ gets preferred treatment.
libraries *today* are using GTypeInstance; and GTK6 is not even on the radar right now. The entire point of this incremental change is to allow to progressively port newly written types and methods to GTypeInstance (which is already supported by bindings, since it's the basis of GObject and it's already used by GTK and other libraries).
I think you're confused because you're not the target audience of the presentation. You may want to read my earlier blog: bassi.io/articles/2023/08/23/t…
This is a rough strawman I put together after various discussions I had during GUADEC 2023 on the future of the GObject type system, introspection, language bindings, and the GNOME application development platform.
@ebassi A dense block of info you wrote there :) I knew gobject was some kinda c plus structs and fnctptrs equals cpp plus rtti or vala and more. And it is reasonable to clean up, like the move from x11 geometric primitives to opengl.
I'll try to express my concern more unconfusedly :D Assuming i write my tinkerer's python like import gi; from gi.repo import xyz;
bindings will paper over any change when it comes to objects; for the rest: the API will change when it needs to change, just like it happens for every major new version. Some things may even get more Pythonic out of the box.
I don't think you have to worry about anything at the moment: this is an in-progress experiment, and we haven't even started working on GTK5, let alone GTK6. Plus, as I said: language bindings developers are engaged in this effort.
Sony XM6 still sucks like Xm5. Gosh. What a disappointment. After a month in, Sonos Ace is winning over all of them. XM6 has come out to be very sweat-trapping over time on the earcups, compared to Sonos ace. The right earcup tap sensor will sometimes register phantom taps when I'm not wanting it to and until I reboot it won't stop doing so. Quirks like that. So nope, no Xm7 for me. Also no Bose QC Ultra. After 2.5 years, a slight electric static noise began to come around on the right earcup. Little electric swirl. Bose can go suck it. For me Sonos wins them over by a longshot. Their new QC Ultra refresh launching in October has no interest to me.
I agree about the Sonos Ace. I've had it over a year now. It's the best purchase. It's transparency is as good as Airpods Max and it's not as heavy. I reach for the Max when I want to listen to classical. otherwise, it's the Ace for me. There is a bit of electric noise when in transparency mode as well as ANC. It's on the right hand side. I can ignore it for the most part.
@luiscarlosgonzalez ah yeah. It's definitely an upgrade over the XM5. But it keeps the same cheap plastic (I dropped mine outside once, and now the edges of the left cup have slight nics in them), does add folding, and sadly extends that right earcup sensor to be more edge-to-edge, as in, even almost around the lip of the round cup's outside. I think the best quality was in XM4, and it's a shame they didn't go back to that level of workmanship with the Xm6 - more so like they took the cheap qualities about the XM5 to add folding alongside with.

Trying a sattisfaction survey for #audiopub. Do you like the site? Do you hate it? The reality of making stuff is that you almost exclusively hear from people when something is broken or they're frustrated. If I only went by my inbox, I'd think everyone hated this project. I don’t run big intrusive analytics, so this Survey exists instead to hopefully gain a better picture! Feel free to respond to it: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

We've also added a new category "Social Network", so you can find all your favorite Fediverse apps easier (we chose that name as F-Droid already uses it, and we wanted to avoid "clutter" there).
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
I'd like a #GitHub feature that extracts/offers the text from images/screenshots (so that we can replace the images) to improve issues and bug reports where people ANNOYINGLY insist on using images for text.
i would have crawled across broken glass for this when i was doing tech support for a FOSS project. windoze users were the worst offenders at the time.
I mostly got such issues from new computer science students. Most of the time not a screenshot but a photo of their laptop screen showing the piece of code they‘re struggling with.
interestingly, using AI for this would be useful and could probably work quite well. Instead we have AI bot for reviews that you can't disable... Oh well...
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

@jfayre just to varify, is trial of speed the one where you have to hit that thing above you, and not just the bar? I hope I am saying that right. trial of will frustrates me too, but trial of speed makes me want to pull my hair out.
@JamminJerry @jfayre That's the one. I'll have to listen to the video to see if Liam has tips, but I'm starting to get this mode. My scores have gone up, and I'm able to get more goals than before. My progress toward the couch and quest board is painfully slow, but I'm getting there. Even still, I'm tempted to amass millions of points in regular mode, then open a bunch of luck chests and hope for the orbs I need instead.
@jfayre @JamminJerry I honestly don't remember how to unlock them. Once you have them, go to shop > luck chests. You can open 10 chests every 8 or 12 hours. Each costs a lot more than the previous, and the first is 250,000 coins. I haven't gone past the third chest yet. So far, I've gotten random amounts of orbs from them.
