I'm proud to release the first early version of the high-level audio engine I've been working on for the past months! GraphAudio.Kit is a high level 3d audio game engine for your dotnet, using SteamAudio for great hrtf! Very understandable and hackable. It's built on top of GraphAudio, which is a set of libraries I made that let you create your own audio engines by giving you a graph-based audio framework, webaudio for your dotnet basically! Please take a look, and tell your friends.

Well it would appear that I’m going to be embarking on a crash course in learning the ins and outs of #NVDA in a big hurry. #JAWS is initiating some hocus pocus that I’m not the least bit happy with. They are going to start requiring all of us who use JAWS to create accounts and sign in. JAWS is not Microsoft 365. It’s a screenreader, not a suite of programs. What would be the purpose of requiring this? I’m just not comfortable with this, so it looks like I’m going to stop using the screenreader I’ve been using for 20 plus years. I’m told that #NVDA is as robust as JAWS, I most certainly hope so. I’m disappointed that there aren’t more options out there. For not the first time over the years, I’m finding myself missing good old WindowEyes. #A11Y
It might depend what you're doing, in terms of which screen reader is better, although familiarity is a factor, and learning how to use NVDA is a good idea. I'm glad now that I don't use or depend on JAWS. I don't use Windows primarily, but, when I do, I use NVDA, and I would rather give my money to the NVDA developers and support a screen reader that is freely available (it might be different if I had a need to use JAWS--I'm not a purist and have to live my life, but I feel like I have enough screen readers without it).
I'd have to search for it, but Chris Hofstader wrote a blog post a long time ago where he commented on the irony of Freedom Scientific salespeople trying to dissuade people from using NVDA by saying that it was "too guys in a garage" and could go away at any time, and then the VFO Group acquired GW Micro (if I remember my history correctly) and killed Window-Eyes. So much for proprietary software being reliable where OSS is supposedly not.
The E.U. in particular is really becoming controling when it comes to Internet use. I suspect more countries will follow. They want to know the age of people using more andmore programs, from games to social networks, so I think you're going to soon see this in just about everything. I was originally opposed to Tweesecake's requiring an account to use their app, but I've since decided that it's the way of the future and I might as well roll with it. You're not looking for an argument, I know, but for anyone who is, don't bother. Ultimately I don't know any more than you do.
@SyHoekstra @MikeGorse @Bruce Hi everyone! Firstly, for those new to NVDA, Welcome! And you might find this page on Switching from Jaws to NVDA useful: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/… - if you hit anything not covered there, please ask.
Re account, no we don't have any intention of going in that direction. NVDA is completely offline at least in that regard (you need to be online to access the add-on store or use NVDA Remote, but for most features it doesn't need internet access) - any "online" content you read in your web browser etc with NVDA is the content that browser or other program has already downloaded to process and display.
:boost_appreciated: Looking for recommendations for vegan condoms
Sensitive content
Any recommendations for vegan condoms? After a situation involving a beautiful woman the other week, I feel like having condoms on me would probably make things easier,,
For those unaware, casein, which is derived from dairy, is often used to soften latex condoms, making them not vegan. There are other chemicals like glycerin in condoms that may be of animal origin.
I'm writing something (I'll post it once it's finished) and just realized that I used the word "present" twice in the same sentence, and the word has multiple meanings, some of which are distinguishable when spoken aloud, depending on which syllable is accented. And I wasn't even trying to make a pun or anything like that, but I think I'll keep the sentence as-is; I'm not sure how I'd re-word it anyhow. English is weird.
I seem to recall there being some fancy term for the English words where the noun and verb are typically written the same way but accented differently. I can't remember what it would be though, and it's hard to look up.
Znáte nějakého YouTubera z #YouTube, kterej to nedělá jen pro prachy?
Dostaňte ho k nám na #VHSky a dostanete doživotní #PeerTube premium zdarma! 😀
Co nám ještě chybí? - #cvičení doma i venku - #gaming a recenze - #hudba a klipy - #věda a technika, "vysvětluje věci" - více #vaření - více #DIY - a vlastně všechno další! 😁
příjmy z YT jsou dost overrated. Podle mě si na smysluplné peníze sáhne <1% autorů. Petr Šimáček mi říkal, že má sice tisíce zhlédnutí, ale reálně jsou z toho desítky korun měsíčně. Takový Gardiner Bryant má na YT 130 tisíc sledujících a má z toho 200 dolarů měsíčně. Začal publikovat i na PeerTube, vyzval lidi, jestli by mu nepomohli nahradit příjem z reklam na YT, a už je na 180 dolarech a to při pouhých 1600 sledujících. YT je vlastně dost mizerná platforma z pohledu poměru příjmů/diváci. Takže peníze bych ani neřešil. Oni spíš řeší počet diváků a jestli se otravovat s novou platformou, která jim přinese třeba 10 % diváků, co YouTube. Škoda, že nefunguje spolehlivě to automatické zrcadlení z YT, to by byl pro ně dobrý argument. Pak by mohli být na PeerTube, aniž by s tím měli práci navíc.
Jasně, pokud se bavíš jenom o českém Webu, tak to je asi tak. Já když jsem psal, tak jsem měl na mysli youtube.com/@t3dotgg a podobné lidi, a tam je to trochu o jiných penězích.
Vhsky.cz jsou česká instance, zajímá nás primárně český obsah, i když tam máme i zajímavý obsah v angličtině federovaný z jiných instancí. Nicméně nebavím se o českém webu, bavím se o Youtube obecně. Jinde mají úplně stejný problém: 99 % tvůrců dostává od Googlu za obsah na Youtube úplný pakatel, takže těch, kteří můžou zvážit i jinou platformu, protože to na ně nemá žádný finanční dopad, je pořád hodně. Jak jsem psal, problém podle mě nejsou prachy, ale určitý mentální blok z toho jednoduchého monopolního světa, kdy se videa prostě dávají jen na YT, vystoupit.
S tímto souvisí i to, že videa na Peertube nejsou vůbec indexovaná vyhledávači. Moje přednášky z OpenAltu nahrané na YT jsou pěkně dohledatelné. Google ve výsledcích videa nezobrazuje nic mimo YT. A i DDG/Bing tam mají z 95 % jen YT. Tohle hodně smrdí zneužíváním dominantního postavení na trhu. @mcepl
To je proto, že Searxng používá jako jeden ze zdrojů Sepia Search, který vytvořili přímo vývojáři Peertube na indexování PT videí. Ale pokud nám jde o větší publikum, tak nás nemůže utěšovat, že to Searxng zvládne, zatímco ostatní vyhledávače, které mají dohromady podíl na trhu 99,9 %, ne. :)
Pěkně. Líbí se mi, že Kagi umí u i videí z PeerTube zobrazit počet lajků. Zajímalo by mě, jestli ty záznamy z PeerTube mají z indexu Googlu a jen to na rozdíl od něj ve výsledcích hledání neskrývají, nebo to je nějaký dodatečný zdroj.
tohle bych očekával, že bude spíš jejich index. Obecně se snaží brát i nemainstreamove zdroje (mají i kategorii small web).
Jednak mají vlastní index, jednak berou data ze všech hlavních vyhledávačů a pak i z různých okrajových zdrojů a výsledek je pak kompilace tohohle všeho.
Ani velcí zahraniční tvůrci si YouTube reklamami nevydělají moc. Většinu příjmů mají ze sponzorovaných segmentů, prodeje vlastního merche, nebo přímé podpory přes YouTube Membership, Patreon a další předplatitelský služby.
Právě proto (jak píšou ostatní) je pro ně hlavní dosah. BTW Jiří cituje poměr YT / PT sledujících u Gardinera Bryanta jako 10%, ale on má coby Linuxový tvůrce hodně specifický publikum. U jiných tvůrců by to nejspíš bylo míň.
poměr sledujících je i u toho Gardinera pořád skoro 100:1. Zajímavé na tom bylo to, že i ta setina sledujících dokázala na příspěvcích už prakticky vyrovnat příjem, který má od Googlu. Pro samotný příjem podle dosahu by to nemusel být problém. Ti lidi budou samozřejmě dál publikovat na YT, PT by pro ně byl navíc. Nevím ale, jak ty kontrakty v praxi fungují. Jestli třeba platí za počet zhlédnutí videa, kde byla jejich reklama, tak čísla z YT můžou brát jako věrohodná, zatímco ta z neznámé PT instance ne. Ale to hodně přebíháme. Podle mě nemá aktuálně smysl cílit na lidi, kteří z toho mají nějaký zajímavý příjem. Na YT jsou tisíce autorů, kteří z toho nemají nic a dělají videa, protože se chtějí o něco podělit. Pokud jejich témata mají cílovku ve Fediverse jako u toho Gardinera, může to mít pro ně smysl.
Moin Mastodon, Ich bin #neuhier , #Psychologe notorisch neugierig, begeistert von #wissenschaft und schreibe in diesem Bereich auch einen Blog.

For years, Single Page Applications (SPAs) built with frameworks like React have dominated the web development landscape. They promised fluid transitions, dynamic interfaces, and app-like experiences.

If AI/LLMs are cut off from stolen human labour, their outputs turn to meaningless gibberish due to model collapse.
If AI/LLM owners are forced to pay for human labour instead of stealing it, they go bankrupt.
If AI/LLM data centres are forced to stay within energy consumption levels compatible with fighting climate change, they have to close down the overwhelming majority of their capacity.
AI/LLMs are just not sustainable, they can only function through labour theft and burning the planet. They're not so much new technology as a new type of ponzi scheme.

yall: I've asked a few folks this and consensus seems to be that its no longer possible but let's try the hive mind: is it possible to stream high quality audio from a phone, via an external mic, to the internet? I'm thinking IceCast but don't really care how it gets out
I used to know of several apps that streamed to Icecast, but I think they're all gone now. Backpack Studio, KoalaSAN Broadcaster, iCast2, the original Bossjock Studio...
@BorrisInABox The more I use Android, the more I hate the ephemeral nature of apps on iOS. I wonder if something has ever existed for Android--because if it has, especially if it's existed as a 64-bit app, it probably still works. And that would probably be my answer. Data SIMs are cheap, budget Android devices are cheap. I still want an ARM Windows device the size of a smartphone, but I don't think that's happening.
@x0 @simon It does, yes. I still have an Icecast mountpoint set up on mine that I haven't actually used in years, but I just tested it, and it still works.
Just started playing Brok the InvestiGator (it's currently discounted on Steam) and it's actually quite fun. Reminds me a little bit on a german story audio game I used to play. So a nice thing for sure.
Lol that can't be compared to sound of magic at all if you mean that, if not disregard it. But idk, I listened to some lp's a while ago, didn't really seem to interesting or I feel it's a bit strange, not to mention they had a weird tts or I'm outdated on that.
@McOi I think the TTS is some Amazon thing, I don't have any problem with it. Better than all the bigger games which just throw MS David and that garbage at you.
Yeah knew it was that. I think it's the male alexa voice or something? Meh, It works for some things but isn't something for me to play a game with. But I guess that's taste? No, I don't like ms David either. But then again, I don't really play those games too
Kiro, Spec-kit, Bmad, Tessl, and other SDD frameworks turn business analysts into Markdown reviewers. Isn't there a more agile way to use Coding Agents?
The Linux circlejerk has a "Great Man/Company theory" problem.
Every time there is an issue, they all go around clinging to the one company that "finally" will put some resources into fixing them. Endlessly hyping them up and elevating them to a deity status.
It happened with Canonical in the past and how it was "single handedly fixing GNOME".
More recently its Valve and how "they have graced us with gaming and fixing Wayland"
Like sure I appreciate everyone, but its a team effort you know.
Is GTK/Libadwaita more easier to use as a graphical toolkit or was your decision guided more by aesthetics for Bottles @TheEvilSkeleton@treehouse.systems?
I wouldn't call GTK/libadwaita easier. GTK is the only toolkit I have significant experience with, so I have no point of comparison. That said, I do like GTK, because you can easily style with CSS, similarly to a website.
For Bottles, I didn't decide the library; I was not involved in Bottles development during that time. That was decided by Mirko, the mastermind behind it. I presume he did it for the aesthetics and good Python bindings.
Tja. Auf dem Weg #mdRnH hatte ein Audipilot keinen #Überholzwang. Dementsprechend wurden wir dann beide mal wieder vom #SternTaxi mit so ca. 50% zu viel überholt.
