  1. you fight with a plugin for half an hour. 2. You ask your wife to help you fight with a plugin for 15 more minutes. 3. It doesn't work. 4. You go onto the manufacturer's website and *attempt* to submit a support ticket. 5. You faff around with the site because there are a few unclear/unlabelled edit fields on the site that don't seem to make sense. 6. You spend another 10-15 minutes typing out a long detailed explanation, having made a video explaining it because you j...

  My friend Nils has made a build of Jamulus that can send/receive uncompressed audio. Gotta try that. There's a server under genre: Jazz called 'RAWAUDIO-TEST-' which can be used to test it. https://github.com/dingodoppelt/jamulus/actions/runs/24625695436 CC @chikim

  @fnord @oddhack @4nti Yep, services like Eleven Labs make that way too easy to do.

  Last night Alice decided she was cooking dinner entirely on her own, so she did butter chicken with rice and naan bread. Suffice to say, Jake and I practically inhaled it and there was definitely nothing left on plates afterward. She did great!

  With the help of Codex I built a small accessible web remote for Sky Q called Sky Scout. I wanted something simpler than the usual app-heavy options: browser-based, screen-reader friendly, easy to run locally, and able to discover Sky Q boxes on the network instead of being hardwired to one setup. It can browse boxes, jump straight to channels, and read back live status on main Sky Q boxes. If I want to watch TV, the remote isn't always somewhere I can find it, so this is an option I can...

  @jaybird110127@dragonscave.space What a weird world we live in.

  I downloaded one of the NASA moon photos because I wanted to see what kind of description I could get my Mac to generate, so have attached the photo, and alt-text is pasted below, as it was too big to fit in the space provided. Alt-text courtesy of qwen3.5:35b, running locally on an M1 Max MacBook Pro via #Ollama. This is a striking space photograph, likely taken by an astronaut in lunar orbit. Here is a detailed description: **The Foreground: The Moon** Dominating the bottom two-thirds of th...

  @dansup@mastodon.social totally here for it. So many videos I come across as a blind person are non-spoken, or just music over the top. No clue what's going on.

  @researchbuzz@researchbuzz.masto.host 100%. I'd do the same for my wife too. Won't hide things from her.

  @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me @cub80_appleby@mastodon.stickbear.me Well you've run into a beta issue. I can replicate it, but on 2025.3 it's fine.

• Post #1000483

  @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me I'm updating now to see if I can replicate it.

  @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me Restart NVDA, and also make sure that sleep isn't active. Why it should be is a mystery but stranger things have happened.

  I found a rather fun chord/clav/EP sound from Arturia MiniBrute ironically called 'Louis' EP' that inspired me to write this game-like thing this afternoon. Very silly, very 80's, high-energy madness. Also quite short.

  Sometimes I like to noodle while reading a book, so I turn to my left and start playing but without hitting record. I happened to have a piano sound under my fingers at that time, so I just started doodling and this was the result. Logic has a mode whereby, even if you weren't recording when you started, you can capture what you played anyway because it stores it in a buffer.

  I've been blatantly stolen from. Thanks to being alerted by @simon who found this 'One Fine Doob remix' by someone called 'Sean Gonzalez' who failed to give proper attribution and is selling *my* track on #BandCamp. If you know me, you'll know I'm quite fine with people using my stuff in just about anything, but to take it without attribution is a step too far. I'd very likely have said yes, but this has pissed me off greatly. I wro...

  Here's a #Jamulus track called 'Deep C Blues' recorded recently. Contains two guitarists, Bass, drums and myself on Rhodes.

• Post #978436

  Another #Jamulus number recorded this evening which started out being a three-piece because our guitarist wasn't there tonight, but later we're joined by a trumpet player.

  What a sad, sad world when the biggest bully on the playground simply cannot be stopped. Unhinged indeed.

  @Eleni1980@hear-me.social Happy Easter to you too. Of course our sighted friends, and jaws/VoiceOver users can also participate now, by using the web version of the composer found at: https://onj.me/nc

  This week I found that my music was being played in a place called 'Port Louis.' I didn't even know there was one of those.

  Gianluca, @Leowyatt88 has made a very easy-to-use, accessible stem separation tool for windows. One uses CPU, another uses GPU so simply download the version you need. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/jnicbs8cjc8orukpe8vhv/AA2n8ya1sWTvldMvyslOk_0?rlkey=au1g8jwx30xub8n9b5uks8gv5&dl=0

  I'm clearly getting old. I cannot do young-person communication. When you send 10 messages with a few words in each, it gets my back up. Combine sentences, think longer, type lesser. Do something else...

  @hartgenconsult@tweesecake.social Slightly In my head 'Leasey and the WhatsApp Scripts' sounds like a band name, such as 'Toots and the Maytals' and it just made me chuckle.
