People, with #Greenland raising awareness of our massive 24/7 dependence on US clouds for vital services, I made a list of what (government) stuff would break here under US sanctions.

Imagine finally coming to the realization that the "progressive left" was right in saying "we want every state to have what Scandinavia has" and the practical result being, becoming a global pariah, and every state gets what Alabama has.
Last February, I did a thing, which I called #Movuary, in which I sequenced a new track (almost) every day of the month of February with my then relatively new Ableton Move groove box.
Most days, I actually tracked a new thing, but a few were previous sequences that got slight touch-ups.
That was a lot of fun, and got me to think about things in ways I otherwise wouldn't, so I think I'll do it again this year.
If you're curious, here's a very boring index page with everything I did last year, including Ableton bundles for you to play with in your own Move, Ableton Note, or Ableton Live.
BTW, I have still never actually used Ableton Live. Maybe I'll get around to that one of these days.
If anyone else here wants to do the same, posting a new track produced with Ableton Move every day in February using the #Movuary hashtag, let's make this a movement, or something.

"In a long screed [yesterday] morning, Trumpās social media account said the president is placing tariffs of 10% on all goods from the countries currently protecting Greenland after February 1, and that the tariffs will increase to 25% on June 1."

After the extraordinary pushback on President Donald J.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
"The monumental idiocy of Trumpās threat to impose a 10% tariff on eight European nations that do not support his bid to conquer Greenland cannot go unremarked.
Foreign nations do not pay tariffs on goods imported into the US. Tariffs are paid by US companies that import goods into the US. Those companies pass their costs onto US consumers."
~ Robert B. Hubbell
"French intelligence, working with Ukraine, deliberately fed false high-level intelligence to Trumpās regime to test whether it would leak. That information quickly surfaced in Russian channels, confirming their worst fears. As a result, France and other European services have effectively cut the United States out of critical intelligence flows related to Ukraine and broader security matters."

Can we please make this happen for @ky0les who has been trying for days? Please #repost if you feel so inclined.
Sleepy #bounce #bonk #boing #bleep. Anyway... Still trying to make this happen for myself. They're taking costs owed now and need to be payed by Tuesday at the latest. I'm trying to get it done so I'm not the one holding everyone else up. Happy day. I am getting really burned out on having to do this.
I am trying to raise funds to attend the Northwest Percussion Festival this year with my percussion ensemble.
With my aid being taken away I have no funding in my college account to make this possible.
This years show is especially meaningful to me. I will be performing my original marimba piece, Circles, live for the first time outside of school. The piece has already been published, and this will be its debut performance in front of an audience that isn't made of other college students, which is both exciting and a little surreal.
While I am there, I will also be playing with the steel pan group, attending concerts and clinics, and spending time learning from and connecting with other percussionists. This festival is a big opportunity for growth, inspiration, and community.
My fundraising goal is open ended. Any amount helps with travel, lodging, registration, and general expenses. If you are able to donate or share this, I would be incredibly grateful.
Thank you for supporting my music and helping me bring this performance to life.
Donations can be either sent on Cashapp or Venmo. Both usernames are ky0les. #mutualaid #mutualAid #percussion
Wir unterschƤtzen schnell, wie Social-Media-abhƤngig die Generation unserer Eltern teilweise ist. Sucht ist die einfachste ErklƤrung dafĆ¼r, dass Friedrich Merz und die Hauptstadtpresse immer noch auf Twitter sind.
Das Fediverse ist genau so ƶffentlicher Diskursraum und hat kaum weniger Suchtpotential.
Die fĆ¼r mich plausibelste ErklƤrung, warum ƶffentliche und gemeinnĆ¼tzige Orgas immer noch kommerzielles Social-Media nutzen, ist fehlendes VerantwortungsgefĆ¼hl fĆ¼r die gesellschaftlichen Folgen des eigenen digitalen Handelns.
@FastSM Does the player not support seeking yet or am I missing sth? Also follow up to the bug where going to the Desktop when an edit field is open that edit field stays visually on the screen but doesn't refocus for NVDA, this happens with any dialog such as settings, etc, not just the post composer.
I should really go to bed but first have this thing I spent the last few hours making in Ableton. It's a remix of "Be Like You" by Taylor Acorn and it's probably one of my favorite songs of the last few years. Here's the original: youtu.be/Cys2K0rx2T0

Or... just don't dictate them until you can get to somewhere you can type like an actual bloody human!
Gonna say the unpopular bit outloud, but I hate dictation. I hate using it, I hate reading it, it's nearly always so damn stilted, period.
Oh wait...
You can tell the blindies that use it 24-7 as well, because their WhatsApp voice messages are more soulless than an AI voice, and they will say punctuation because they forget they can actually talk like a human.
@FreakyFwoof I know exactly where you're coming from there. I haven't used dictation for years, and I'm not going to start again now. Nor am I ever going to put punctuation in a voice message anywhere, which I have actually come across recently on Whatsapp.
@FreakyFwoof When some of my friends send me audio mesages and forget they're not dictating and include punctuation it becomes an occasion for much laughter for us and that always brightens a day. As for standard dictation I always check things after using because i'm just crazy like that.
@robini71 Might be alright in small doses but in self-help groups of hundreds of blind people where you're trying to get to the meat and potato of someone's problem comma, when they speak slowly to make sure there's no errors and forget they don't have to do that comma, it just slows everything down period. Only so many hours in the day exclamation!
@robini71 At that point it's just not funny at all. It makes me die a little bit in side every single time.
@robini71 Not an option. I became the designated go-to for some of those groups, have the highest answer ratio in a few of them and not because I chose to, but because I'm near my phone more than I'm not.
My thinking is, if you need help and you come here, it's probably semi-urgent, maybe you have a customer/client and you have a quick turn-around, so I'm there on-hand to answer it nearly always.
Like I said I didn't choose this, it just happened. I don't mind that. What I do mind is all of the above.

@FreakyFwoof I'm not in any such groups. I can see where that'd be an issue. My messages are only one on one so a much different environment. I was only speaking to my own use case of course. Those groups sound torturous to me.
@robini71 honestly, when it's mostly quick fixes, they're fine. Not too high traffic either. It's the long 7-minute rambles about nothing, with 25 seconds of problem I have issues with.
I don't care that you had to put your phone down to play with your guide dog for 5 minutes, answer the door for two minutes, discuss the weather outside for 3 and a half when the group is about Komplete Kontrol. That is entirely not the point. Either cancel the message and start again, hit the dedicated pause button (that's like, what it's for) or just... Please learn to be concise. lol

@NVAccess@fosstodon.org I'm currently a JAWS user but have heard about NVDA (someone told me the keybinds are the same as Windows Narrator, not sure if that's true) what resources would you recommend to a Windows Screen reader newbie to learn the basics of NVDA? Would the Windows Narrator tutorial suffice, or should I look at something else?
Many of NVDA's keystrokes are similar to the Jaws keystrokes. We have a comparison guide here: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/ā¦
The NVDA user guide includes a quick start guide which has some of the important things you'd likely want on day 1 of using NVDA: download.nvaccess.org/documentā¦

my favourite little bit of trivia is that they built a whole alien language and then just said "fukkit, they go ANK ANK ANK all the time."

Ok @main @mastoblind @NVAccess got a puzzler for all my #nvda users. So somehow yesterday I managed to bungle my way into where NVDA was acting like it was locked into focus mode everywhere, and could not be brought out of it, received "unsupported input" for single letter nav everywhere, and hotkeys like alt+tab would not register. I ended up having to do a full reset on it to fix the problem.I use #Braille Extender, and full#BrailleDisplay operation. Anyone got a clue what the fuck I did?

@Bri @BorrisInABox This is what stereo coiled bop it arcade sounds like. It is, as expected mostly mono content, but a couple of parts are stereo. This is slightly panned right from the daw as it was recorded slightly more left heavy when I recorded this time. I got a score of 68, which is my new personal best. That's great, but also at the same time it's annoying since they set the bonus score on that machine to 75, so if I had just been able to get that few more points, which would have included an even faster speed, I could have gottent eh victory sound. I also figured out when going to record fail states that on level one, they give you up to 2 retry attempts, so that you hopefully don't end up wasting a credit on a poorly played game.
This entry was edited (12 hours ago)
the fact that it give you retry attempts on level means tha i was able to get a snapshot of the music on level one which was mostly clea accept for the voice command at the start, but mvsep took care of removing it.
this is how it handles mistakes/ missed commands on level 1. Every other level beyond this will make the game end if you miss.

No, I am not going to do a search for the great Gatsby fanfiction, but, for some reason, that just came to mine. I mean, it is public domain, has been for a while, so it most likely exists in bulk. There is probably a huge, closet club of the great Gatsby fanfiction writers out there Just having a great old time fulfilling their Myrtle fantasies, but I will never know. Why am I even thinking about this?
Also, fun fact: that book is why I failed English in the 11th grade. I just didn't care about it, didn't do any of the assigned stuff on it, subsequently failed the class. YAY!

Oh good, we're alive again. It would really be nice if Postgress didn't start randomly doing this thing where it decides to use so much ram that the OOM killer owns it, that it never did before, but I guess I'm going to have to spend two hours Googling to fix this bullshit. 
Anyone happen to know how to get SoX on a Synology DS1815+? I have a bunch of things I want to automate on a schedule that needs it specifically. I could mount the filesystem and do all that on another host, but really don't want to do it that way. I might be able to do what I want with ffmpeg, which is installed, but would rather use SoX if I can.

Too few people really think about the continuum between gravy, stew and soup. To really ponder, when you get right down to it in life: is the liquid or the solid bits more important in this meal?
I was apparently arrested at age 20 for committing arson, killing 8 out of 10 people in a building. It was ruled self-defense, as I was escaping a horrible situation.
I was apparently traumatized by this whole deal, and had to live in a group home, where I met a girl who also murdered in self-defense.
Things were going well.
Just as we were really starting to get to know each other, I woke up, and the dog was frantically barking about something, so I guess I'll never know how things turned out.

Wow. Mastodon search is a clusterfuck.
Is there a reliable way with #nvdasr to figure out what display an app is running on and to move a window to another display? #screenReader @NVAccess
When I did win+shift+left and right, or win+alt/left and right, not entirely sure what the difference is, both NVDA and Narrator report the window is now on "display 1 2". it seems to report this for both displays so I'm not sure how that is meant to be helpful
Maybe an oddity in your version of Windows (since both Narraotr and NVDA report it)? I just tried again here and it definitely reads "WINDOW TITLE maximised on display 1" or "...on display 2". I'm using Windows 11 25h2 build 26200.7623 with the screen set to "extend". Actually, could you have your window NOT maximised, but windowed and showing partly on both screens?
