I added a camera shutter sound effect that plays whenever I take a screenshot. It’s a big improvement, having that feedback.

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

@prologic@twtxt.net Those sounds really cool.
Is something like “reyarn” a thing or not a thing?

@prologic@twtxt.net That is cool. The name is cool. Like saying “yarn ballers” but that sounds weird and cool at the same time

Still two unresolved issues with WeeChat:

1. How can I mark the current buffer as read? There is /input set_unread to mark it as unread (although I can’t tell that it does actually anything in the TUI) but there’s no set_read command that would put my read marker below the last message. Sure I can switch buffers and then the read marker is at the bottom, but this sounds like a silly workaround. There must be something better.
   
2. I want the beep trigger to also fire when a regular message is sent. But the adjusted condition ${tg_displayed} && ${tg_tags} !!- ,notify_none, with the && (${tg_highlight} || ${tg_msg_pv}) removed then also includes joins and parts, which I don’t want to be alerted by. Now fiddling around with ${tg_message_nocolor} !~ ^(-->|<--), let’s see.
   

How do you folks do that?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I tried to think about it once more today, but still no luck yet. However, I reckon that when I try to grasp something in a very focused way, then I imagine how I would loudly read it (but actually don’t) and hear myself. I’m quite certain about that. In more extreme cases I even noticed my lips slightly moving, but not creating any sound. But most of the time I don’t think there’s a voice. The tricky thing is, if I don’t think about how it works in general, I don’t know. And if I try to think about it, it feels like introducing tons of measuring errors. I just found Schrödinger’s cat in my brain.

just thought to myself “hopefully a bigger pandemic hits, that sounds like it’ll delay ai capabilities progres”, which, no,,,

@prologic@twtxt.net 100 liters are one cubic meter, so that doesn’t sound too unrealistic in a whole month. Looking at the climate diagrams of Stuttgart and Ulm (they’re the closest cities where I could find data for in a hurry) it seems to be in the ballpark. Admittedly, this number matches June better than July.

it’s funny, conditional on AGI (and perhaps also WBE?) not doing us in, i’m pretty bullish on this century. bio seems much less of a problem, and everything else is basically a-okay, especially with people becoming richer and needing to fight less. most other collapse narratives sound pretty unlikely (though prepping is sitll a good idea! you should have three months of food & water at home)

**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.

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

The immersive beats and the haunting vocals in “Silent Shout” by The Knife still sound like they came from the future even-though the song was released in 2006…

@!(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.

twt is better because I can pronounce it like twit, which sounds a bit like “twat”, which is an insult and therefore better.

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)

On a related note, ‘hopwag’ sounds like a music genre

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

The contact free delivery options sounds cool, let’s see if it works as well in practice

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
