Hey @Tutanota do you know mubi.com considers tuta.com email addresses invalid? I tried to convince their customer support its their problem but they're giving me some resonse which makes no sense. Is there something y'all can do?

#Mubi #Tuta #degoogle #privacy

Screenshot of email from mubi support saying: Hello Akshay, Unfortunately, there's little we can do about this on our end. The team thinks this is occurring because tuta.com is a privacy-oriented email service, designed for off grid usage. You might try adjusting settings in tuta.com itself and seeing if that helps. Otherwise, we recommend using a different email address. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Best regards,

Who has still a #FOSS project hosted on #GitHub? Why?

Don't you prefer a development platform that is aligned with the values of free software?

Did you consider migrating to e.g. @Codeberg? Is there something holding you back?

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. It is EXTREMELY depressing. Can I suggest that people also make a list like this one for their own countries? It is getting quite some traction here: berthub.eu/articles/posts/dash…

Dashboard totale Amerikaanse afhankelijkheden - Bert Hubert's writings

Hier een lijst organisaties die voor hun primaire missie totaal afhankelijk zijn van Amerikaanse clouds, en waarbij de maatschappij ontwricht zou worden als ze hun werk niet meer konden doen, bijvoorbeeld door sancties over Groenland.

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.

borris.me/audio/movuary2025/

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, Trump’s 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."

"The monumental idiocy of Trump’s 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."

"French intelligence, working with Ukraine, deliberately fed false high-level intelligence to Trump’s 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

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

@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.

@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?

NV Access

Many of NVDA's keystrokes are similar to the Jaws keystrokes. We have a comparison guide here: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/…

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/document…

For more in-depth training, we'd recommend "Basic Training for NVDA" which we do sell, it's $32 Australian for the electronic text version: nvaccess.org/product-category/…

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?

For those who wanted a SAPI5 version of NVSpeechPlayer, it is ready. You can install the file from: eurpod.com/synths/NVSpeechSapi…
This will install it as both a 32-bit and 64-bit executable file. It will also create a settings program that lets you configure which languages to uncheck from your voices list, this should be in the start menu. The engine should work in both 32-bit and 64-bit programs.

@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.

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!
