One of the coolest things for Rhythm Heaven fans, Heaven Studio, now has a mod to make it screen reader accessible! I've been having such a blast playing this thing! If anyone would like to snag Heaven Studio, and/or the mod, links will be below.
Heaven Studio Revival Project: drive.google.com/file/d/1FKeKx…
Accessibility Mod (click on download on the page): chikutaku-luyi.itch.io/rhsamod
After downloading the mod, you should see a Heaven Studio folder. Go into that, then there should be things like MellonLoader, and other items. Select all, then paste them into the root of your Heaven Studio folder, then load Heaven Studio.exe, and enjoy!

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

So I've tried the brand-new blindness Windows apps #FastSM and #BlindRSS and I have to say that I'm highly impressed with both! If you haven't checked them out yet I highly recommend giving them a try. Both represent elegant yet simple solutions to Blue Sky, Mastodon and podcast and text RSS feeds. #accessibility

new, experimental build of SpeechPlayer. I would like those who are brave to test, for a new, more Eloquence-like sound. Shoutout does go out to @fastfinge for helping to get this idea going and colaborating on the repository.

The big switch is that it is no longer a sawtooth wave. Instead, it now uses asymmetric cosine glottal-flow pulse (a pitch-synchronous "glottal pulse train"). So, glottal flow pulses, not continuous oscillator shapes like triangle/saw/square. This has allowed us to achieve a much smoother voice, with clearer consonants but the familiarity of the voice people know.

Oh yeah,
if you're annoyed that the models can't predict where the storm will go,
you can thank Trump, Musk, and the Republican administration for cutting back weather monitoring for the past year.

And yeah, the models aren't going to be more accurate for a few years to come.

(Make sure to remind your red hatted neighbors that are complaining.)

Canada looking to ban kids under 14 from social media: report

The Government of Canada is looking to ban social media services for kids under 14 as part of an upcoming 'online harms bill.'

Today, I installed my first WiFi 7 access point, a Ubiquiti U7 Pro. Though WiFi7 is mostly going to waste here, with the internet only being 200 Mbps symmetric, and not a lot of LAN transfers that require a ton of speed, in this house, I unfortunately can't run Ethernet to most things in the location I want them to be, without having the location of the SFP changed, which I am tempted to do. I was hoping to improve the situation a bit, but this seems to not be happening.

I've been using a U6 Mesh at the far end of the house from this access point to both act as a WiFi extender and Ethernet bridge, because I get better performance going WiFi to Ethernet than WiFi direct, especially in terms of jitter and latency, plus I am connecting a couple of devices that don't have their own WiFi to the network this way.
I have a small 1Gbps PoE switch powering the access point and providing Ethernet ports for those devices.

Previously, I had been meshing the U6 Mesh with a U6 Light, which is only 2x2 on 5 gHz, and is limited to 80 mHz channel bandwidth. Ideally, I'd like to mesh over 6 gHz at 320 mHz, but without buying a second U7 Pro, I can't do that.

I was hoping to use 160 mHz for the link on 5 gHz, at the very least, which I have done successfully before on another Ubiquiti setup, but for whatever reason, the remote AP is stuck at 40 mHz, which is noticeably bottlenecking things, especially in the upstream direction. Channel bandwidth is controlled by the parent, which is set at 160 mHz, so why does it insist on hanging around at 40?

I HATE WIFI! I HATE IT SO MUCH!

I will probably upgrade the two U6 Pro's at home to U7 Pros when I get back, though, because they have 10g/2.5g/1g Ethernet, and I want to get stuff past the 1Gbps cap for local transfers at least. It's far too easy to saturate a 1Gbps connection these days, even over WiFi. WiFi7 can provide significantly more throughput than 1Gbps allows, even to a single client, so time to upgrade the infrastructure to support it.

Using iperf3 on my phone, I get 940 Mb/sec in both directions on either 5 or 6 gHz over the U7 Pro talking to an Ethernet-connected machine. The bottleneck, in this case, is actually the 1Gbps Ethernet on that machine, and the switch it's connected to.
The actual wireless link rate of my phone is currently 2.4 Gbps in both directions, as I am only about 8 feet from the access point, so I should see significantly more throughput than that if not for the 1Gbps Ethernet bottleneck.
And, as I understand it, the WiFi chip on iPhones is not actually capable of 320 mHz channel bandwidth, so I could be linking at 4.8 Gbps, in theory, using something else.
None of this matters given the current network infrastructure here, really.
I still hate WiFi, though.

Starting tomorrow, you will be able (on linux without cross-compilation) to install and use the Rust GCC backend directly from rustup! To do so:

Thanks a lot to Kobzol for all their work to making it a reality!

Add GCC and the GCC codegen backend to build-manifest and rustup by Kobzol · Pull Request #151156 · rust-lang/rust

This PR adds the GCC codegen backend, and the GCC (libgccjit) component upon which it depends, to build-manifest, and thus also to (nightly) Rustup. I added both components in a single PR, because ...

> You arrive at your polling place the same as every election since 2004 with the same precinct, same poll workers, and same ritual of civic participation, but this time the worker scans your driver’s license, frowns, types into the computer, then looks up with an apologetic expression that will replay in nightmares.

> “I’m sorry, but your documents don’t match. Your license says Martinez, but your birth certificate says Chen. I can’t give you a ballot.”

Which states have polling places that use computers? In Wisconsin we have a printout of the registered voters we expect will come to the polling place, that's it. There's no way to look up their birth name. I strongly doubt that the local government has it easily available

Snowmageddon 2026 is supposed to hit tomorrow evening. I've heard from co-workers that grocery stores are wiped out but I figured I’d at least try to get a grocery delivery in the morning. No go. Wal-Mart isn't even delivering right now. Oh well. I have enough food around here. I won’t starve. I was just hoping to get some fruit and veggies. Gotta love Oklahoma weather hysteria. At least I get an excuse to work from home for a few days.

Big NV SpeechPlayer Update:
I ended up fixing a bunch of long-standing low-level bugs that were responsible for pops, clicks, and general weirdness. The noise generator had DC bias, filters were carrying energy across utterances, frame data wasn’t fully initialized, and there was even a one-sample “zombie frame” when going from silence to speech. All of that is gone now. Even with fast speech, letter echo, or lots of interruptions, it stays clean.
The other big thing is trills. Rolled R’s are now handled in the engine instead of through pack hacks like doubling letters. There are two pack-level settings now: one that controls how long the trill lasts, and one that smooths it. The actual flutter speed is fixed to something that matches how real trills behave, so pack authors don’t have to fight the engine anymore. Short values behave like taps, longer values give you a proper roll, and it’s consistent across languages.
I tried pushing the engine toward a more “rounded” glottal pulse as well, but that changed the character too much for now, so I backed it out. The goal here was stability and correctness first, not a surprise timbre shift. Now that the engine isn’t fighting itself anymore, future tuning should be much easier and safer.
Language updates: Polish, US English says words like "start", "neat" and "need" more correctly.
