  @ericdano@musician.social I wouldn't be without either of those tools, absolutely. Home brew is priceless, and equally winget and also Uniget UI, fantastic.

  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

  @CStamp@mastodon.social Can relate. Don't think I heard the term 'Trans' until about 2015 or so. Gay, yes as a kid, but not Trans.

  @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!

  @lydiaconwell@todon.nl True dat. If you're looking for something a bit gritty to watch, try 'The Capture' on BBC. People say 'BBC can't make anything good anymore' 'defund the BBC' and all this other bloody useless bullshit but you can't watch that and tell me it's not a bit Netflix/Apple TV etc, in it's execution. It's one of the best things I've seen from them in a long, long time and I'm here for it.

  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...

  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.

  @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'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...

  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.
