This is just a general reminder as a rule of thumb: in general, please be extremely nice to IT support. It is actually astonishing to me how often people in a variety of different environments will just constantly be mean, abusive and uncooperative with people in support roles even when they're the ones asking for help. Someone has to keep things running, and they are probably dramatically underfunded (with management constantly considering contracting out and layoffs)
Warum nochmal kann Thunderbird keine VJOURNALs anzeigen, bitte? Wieviel Arbeit wΓ€re es denn, dafΓΌr ein PlugIn / einen Konnektor zu schreiben (auch einfach interim)? @thunderbird #thunderbird #mozilla
Wir waren noch nicht in der Lage, diese und andere Funktionen zu erforschen, da wir mit Projekten wie dem HinzufΓΌgen von Exchange-UnterstΓΌtzung, der Arbeit an der Kalender-BenutzeroberflΓ€che und unserer neuen Datenbank beschΓ€ftigt waren. Aber der beste Ort, um UnterstΓΌtzung fΓΌr die Entwicklung dieser Funktion zu zeigen (und alle Updates zu verfolgen), ist dieser Vorschlag auf Mozilla Connect: connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/sβ¦

@datajake1999 @TheQuinbox @BTyson @samtupy @Tamasg @AlexSpectrum93 anyone know the email address for rommix0? rommix0 used to be on mastodon and he made the bestSpeech speak window but I forget his real name. Kevin something?
Yo man, so I am aware of your attempts to get Bestspeech SAPI5 working and that you'd like a c++ dev to help you fix it. I can certainly help you at some point, but at the moment my plate is full. Because so few people have responded in a good way I don't entirely blame you for continuing to try to reach out? But at this point I just kindly ask/suggest that you patiently wait for one of us to reach back out to you with a solution, or we'll ask you for your code if we need it as we are fully aware of it's existence, etc. At this point bro your attempts to reach out are starting to get near to breaching certain forms of etiquette that are observed either socially or in development, mostly I question your decision to name drop the dude who found the bestspeech dll for us, publicly, maybe without knowing how public he wants his real name to be? If you know he doesn't mind please feel free to correct me. I can just forgive the following because it's my repo, but you then opened an issue on the b32_wrapper github tracker with this, even though at present that repo has nothing to do with a SAPI5 wrapper specifically. Again I don't blame you for that because it's my fault for not properly reaching out earlier just to say I was aware of your attempt and would help when I could. Now I've done that though, so I kindly suggest that it might be for the best if you wait for the interest/availability of me or Jake regarding SAPI5 bestspeech to develop naturally where we'll then reach out to you if we determine that the AI code would be helpful (it very well may be and I applaud you for trying)! Feel free to post cool status updates like a few messages ago, I'm glad you're making progress! But unless you are sure, I'd think it might be best to be careful how you are reaching out to try to get help on this matter, because I think you are trying so hard to get help that you are beginning to make a few social mistakes when doing so. I don't write this for you to feel bad or shamed (please don't), but just as a friendly reminder that you are indeed asking for one of us to spend hours of time getting some code working that you didn't even write, something which a message or 2 ago you admitted yourself was frustrating to the point of you considering giving up, and that possibly name dropping someone who may have very well chosen a pseudonym specifically to keep their real name private is potentially not the best way to make them want to help you. No hard feelings man and again I don't mind helping you when I've got more room on my plate. But please if you don't mind try to be careful how you ask for uncompensated help with this so that you don't accidentally do it a bit recklessly. Thanks, and here's to an epic bestspeech SAPI5 interface some time in the future!
I am frustrated that my attempts keep ending up in failure and I don't know enough to get a simple cpp file compiled correctly. I'm sure claude wrote propper code and it most likely fixed the bugs that were in version 1. someone on audio games forum compiled the first version. it had bugs. I'm guessing claude fixed them. but I have no way of verifying this because the thing won't compile!! so frustrating!!
I shared the claude chat for you all. but is claude wrong? did it really mess up when writing this sapi5 bestSpeech tts implementation? oh maybe it's just bad code and I should quit, just give up and stop trying.
in mhy opinion, this stuff is so complex that developers should get paid ten million or more dollars just to make a cpp file into a dll. yes, it is that complex in my opinion. sorry alex, no sapi5 bestspeech and no sapi5 cyberTalk. I gave it my best shot, and failed.
turns out I was following a guide that was making me do things the hard way, claude saved me again. I don't need to touch the IDE after all. following claude's guide, lets see if it works and it builds the dll with bugs fixed.
I got quite far, built the dll, registered voices into 32-bit sapi in registry, voices won't speak. needs debugging beyond what I can do. maybe whoever made the decTalk4.99New-sapi5 program could help with this. I got quite far but I think my limit is reached. latest attempt is here: drive.google.com/file/d/1-BJCqβ¦
I'm definitely sorry for all your struggles, and really empathize with the feeling. Dev work is never easy, but man is it rewarding when you get it right, and that's probably why I spring for it. I have very little C++ knowledge, get me into Mutexes and race conditions and I get lost quite easily. I can read the code and know what it does, but for sure my stomping ground is Python and JS / web. I'm also super busy work to the extent that, quite frankly, I just don't want to touch a computer once I'm done or look at code in my spare time, because all day every day I'm asked to do that for audits, customer tickets, pull requests, ETC, and I have zero motivation for code at the end of my day or weekends. That's just the truth, man. Full-time work will suck the soul out of you like that. Hopefully over time someone else will jump along, but until then, you've got two very powerful things on your side: Patience, and tools. The first will help you use the second, and for tools, I encourage trying others, even free tears of Gemini or GPT 5 can be good. It does limit how much you can send it, but for these critical questions, jumping out to another AI for clarification is not a bad idea. I know with your determination we'll get there, afterall, your decades-push helped us get here today, too.
So, what are the mandatory art things to visit in #Milano tomorrow? Have been to the Pinacoteca di Brera 2023 or 2024, so not necessarily that. The Triennale has interesting temporary exhibitions, no? And the Fondazione Prada. Any less obvious ones?
(Not interested in that Last Supper thing. Sure, it is famous, but yeah.)
thinking about other locations: the Sforza castle is pretty big, and takes a few hours by itself, but it has a nice section on applied arts, furniture, and musical instruments. The biblioteca Ambrosiana has the pages of Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus
I start going through my to-do list, find an old pyatspi2 merge request that I forgot about, find that I can't merge it because of an unrelated test failure that the CI is catching, although the tests pass on my system, so now I have to somehow figure out what is different about the GnomeOS set-up that the CI is running.
So about the #Mona app. Given that version 7 is going to be a massive app rewrite and refactoring, I have many issues. The first is the paying. This app is a huge rewrite. All that time and effort? That deserves money. Where I put my foot down is you making a whole new app to get around all of the people, including me, that paid for lifetime subscription. That seems wildly underhanded to me. And youβre releasing it as a new app? Rather than a app upgrade? To make sure that weβre kind of forced to pay for the new app? Hard no from me. I read every single reply in that thread. There is a test flight link. Even though it is in beta, it is relying way too heavily on LLMβs for me to want to try it. I read in the thread that choosing a post language is no longer an option, and that the app relies on an LLM to guess what that language is. Even in a beta, that clearly signals what you started developing direction wise and Iβm just not interested. I keep thinking about the question I asked the developer long before Mastodon had itβs moment. The developer told me no Mastodon app would be made. Fine. But this looks like cash cow development to fund whatever LLM you stuck in the app. Iβm not happy. The accessibility of the app is unmatched, especially for VoiceOver users, but I fund honest, even agressive, donation requests. I will happily pay a subscription to support development but not like this. Is there another app with as much care and VoiceOver love? #Fediverse #Mastodon #Accessibility #A11y

the NTP foundation (yeah the time thing) is begging for scraps of cash, like a few thousand dollars - a low level manager at amazon, google, apple and meta could each whip out the corp credit card, give them $5k each and problem solved, but no, they're too far up their own arse to do that
The NTP Project conducts Research and Development in NTP, a protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of computers over a network to a common timebase.
It's been a good day off today. We had to take Jose to the dermatologist to check his paws. He's doing well and we won't have to go back for a year. We just have to have bloodwork done locally and send it to the specialist. He'll stay on his same med regimen. Then we went to the Blue Ben diner for breakfast. Sooo good! I had chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, home fries and a biscuit. I took the biscuit home as it is huge and I was full. Then I came home and relaxed. It's been snowing all day. First snow of the season.
Oh, snow already? I don't like snow. Haha. I'm seriously thinking about moving back up there, for family-related reasons, but then I'm reminded that I'll have to contend with your weather again.
@jae Novell Netware... dear god... I was forced to learn that in school because some local businesses relied on it and they were doing their best to train people for the local economy. Absolute trash.
