Ok so here's an update, at least in my testing, the Sonata Sherpa synthesizer refuses to load after stalling for a long period of time and nearly crashing NVDA. Either the thing is bugged, or I have conflicting addons installed. Of course, it could very well be the latter, since I installed the Dengjen Neural Voices addon (a revival of the piper-only NVDA addon), Inflect, PocketTTS, and Supertonic-3 installed simultaneouslya longside it. Although, if it's evidently self-contained in its own folder, I'm unsure why that would be the case, since evidently Sonata Sherpa stores model files in a separate folder from these other synthesizers (as indicated by the voice manager originally stating said voices were not installed).

@catsalad now all you need is some strings, I wonder where you could get those from? (Jk)

Does #Unison the UK union have a presence on the Fediverse at all? Anyone know?

Ho seguito il tutorial di @kenobit su come creare una fanzine!

Ne ho sempre sentito parlare come mezzo e viste in più occasioni dagli anni '00, ma non mi ero mai cimentata.

Ho voluto sperimentare anche solo per acquisire una capacità artistica in più.

Ecco qua il risultato!

È venuto abbastanza bene da poterlo stampare e lasciare in giro, chissà che non sia un piccolo passo per il cambiamento. Che ne dite?

Son molto contenta del risultato, ad ogni modo

literally so much hate in my heart https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/issues/608 hrfuller is a really sweet guy (also just ridiculously handsome) whom i was lucky to work with for a year and a half and i love so much that he finds it absurd that bazel makes you do the work of running a tool yourself

@stefano would that usb-c go up to power your n150 too?

save your stuff before removing the barrer jack :)

It’s showy and meh. Humanoid robots are meh for battle fields.

Expensive pomp.

Na, hat ja nicht 24h gehalten...

"Regierung wird alles tun, um #Klimawandel zurückzudrängen"

Heute:

Oder will der Kanzler jetzt alles auf #Cleantech, #Erneuerbare, #Elektrifizierung, #Klimaschutz setzen?!

Likewise, I didn’t recognise many names and the ones I did spot were ones I wouldn’t want my name associated with for other reasons. I wonder if the people signing it p knew the company they’d be keeping. I also wonder about the PhD students signing it and how many were pressured into it.

Was für eine schöne, tolle Zeit mit großartigen Leuten bei Fedi am See verbracht. Ich hab eine "Sauerstoffvergiftung" und goldener Sonnenschein sowie Frischluft umwehte die Haut als wir im Garten unter Holunderbüschen und Eichen saßen.

So hab ich mir das vorgestellt.

Jetzt zurück in #Berlin, Und die Frage die sich mir stellt, soll ick Nachrichten anmachen oder den Frieden der Brandenburger Provence noch ein bisschen in mir aufrecht erhalten.

"undefined behavior" YOU HAVE A MADE UP LANGUAGE WITH NO SPECIFICATION JUST DEFINE THE BEHAVIOR

Bah. Gotta love an integrated time table. My ice arrived 1 minute after the regional train I need to connect to departs.

Fortunately there's one every half hour so it's not a major pain. But still mildly annoying.

I just accidentally discovered that my N150's USB-C port also supports video output, and it works perfectly on Linux.

Not only that, but over Type-C it drives my monitor at 120 Hz, whereas over HDMI it's limited to 60 Hz. I had no idea!

It takes time for the slop, bit rot, platform changes, and a decline in the OSS infrastructure to percolate into a real catastrophe. The stuff we’re seeing fail now is the software equivalent of forgetting to bolt an airplane door plug. The stuff that should worry us is the software equivalent of a fractured, but holding, bolt

this shit is the fucking worst https://bazel.build/concepts/dependencies

Failure to observe this principle causes undefined behavior: the build may fail, but worse, the build may depend on some prior operations, or upon transitive declared dependencies the target happens to have. Bazel checks for missing dependencies and report errors, but it’s not possible for this checking to be complete in all cases.

thank you google for paying twitter to kill our tool so you could both not support dependency inference and also somehow still be terribly awfully broken

@abstractcode mmm hmmm yep that’s right sure I getcha
