@prologic@twtxt.net When you unpack what he’s saying in that video (which I’ve watched, and just now re-watched), and strip away all his attempts to wrap this idea in fancy-sound language, he is saying: it would be better if women were viewed as property of men, because then if they were raped, the men who owned them would get mad and do something about it. Because rape would be a property crime then, like trespassing or theft. Left unspoken by him, but very much known to him, is that the man/men who “own” a woman can then have their way with her, just like they can freely walk around their yard or use their own stuff. In his envisioned better world, it’d be impossible for a husband to rape his wife, for instance, because she is his property and he can do almost anything he wants (that’s literally what “property” is in Western countries).

It’s so fucked up it’s hard to put into words how fucked up it is. And this isn’t the only bad idea who bangs on about!

I have to write so many emails to so many idiots who have no idea what they are doing

So it sounds to me like the pressure is to reduce how much time you waste on idiots, which to my mind is a very good reason to use a text generator! I guess in that case you don’t mind too much whether the company making the AI owns your prompt text?

I’d really like to see tools like this that you can run on your desktop or phone, so they don’t send your hard work off to someone else and give a company a chance to take it from you.

The very first article about video games on Linux… from 1994
Yes. It’s about DOOM. And, no. The reviewer didn’t have working sound on Linux. ⌘ Read more

It should be illegal for firealarms to sound a low battery after 10pm and before 8 am.

**10 years later, and “Wake Up” is still my ‘go to’ album from @psenough.

Relevant now, as it was a decade ago, these “sounds to awaken the world to a new tomorrow” still resonate, as - it seems - we collectively decided to stay in bed for a while longer.

So the evolution of my nick is as follows. I had a bicycle that had the word Zephyr written on it. Which means a western wind. That is related to the Greek god Zephyrus.

I liked words where X make a Z sound. And also had a bit of dyslexia so my firs IRC nick was Xypher swapping the y and e.. I would also use the forms Xypherius or just Xypheri.

Because its close hemming to Cypher I found the nick would get used by others.. Though that is not my origin.

Later I would sign websites I created as The X-Urban Underground (where X was short for Xypher) and that evolved to xuu. Pronounced like zoo.

@compudanzas@compudanzas.net I have no idea what that means, but it sounds exciting!

Sounds like a good plan. It is, of course, up to the Master Crafter. 😋

musical experience that involve harvesting, farming, growth, and caretaking of virtual musical creatures with personality. creatures would socialize with eachother and their interactions would change the overall musical sounds implicitely. #halfbakedideas

@!(sndkitref “glottis”)!@ is an analytical model that approximates the kind of sound the human glottis makes, and is now available as a sndkit model. This is extracted from the !voc project.

making great progress getting interactive sound and video working on android. it’s a setup I wish I had 5 years ago.

@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)

the rain pouring down on the roof sounded like a dialup modem connected to the internet

added @!(sndkitref “bezier”)!@ to !sndkit today. coupled with @!(sndkitref “oscf”)!@, it is capable of making some really weird wet FM-y sounds. Me like! #updates #sndkit

so, having the etudes be ~20mb/minute for sound AND video ain’t too bad, and that’s before doing any sort of compression. My etudes are almost always 80-120 seconds long, so the total size of a lossless uncompressed etude would be ~40mb, consistently. #halfbakedideas

sound for #breathingcard etudes in 44.1 kHz mono 32-bit floating point sound. that’s about ~10mb a minute raw uncompressed audio. #halfbakedideas

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas

Huh?! I bombed myself! Allocating 1GB to gzip and send it to the evil bot didn’t sound too wrong. But I forgot that the script runs in parallel for each request… BOOM!

gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)

listening richard devine’s new album sort/lave today. of course the sounds are top notch, but I really am enjoying how ‘composed’ it all feels. it really demonstrates true mastery of modular environments.

postcard sized art is such a lovely scale for the visual medium. attempting to imagine the sound/temporal version of that

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for #hugo awards. All books for best novel were really good this year, but I somehow missed Six Wakes … sound great!

Impact Is Now Free & Open Source
My HTML5 Game Engine Impact launched almost 8 years ago. The last update was published in 2014. While Impact still works nicely in modern browsers, it lacks support for better graphic and sound APIs that are now available. I felt increasingly bad for selling a product that is hardly maintained or improved.

So as of today Impact will be available completely for free, published under the permissive MIT License.

@kas@enotty.dk that sounds fair to me.

@kas@enotty.dk aura akua sound a lot like a sentence from toki pona.

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net Sorry, but what tweet are you referring to? I have no idea what sounds great… We need a way to reference tweets!

We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?
