@niplav@niplav.github.io I wouldn’t disagree with your characterization of people who’re interested in radical life extension, but their messaging, generally, seems to not mention “adding life to your years” at all. “Live to be 150” doesn’t sound all that great if you’re going to have 15 years of being in your 80s, so to speak.

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.

I want to listen to music, but quite honestly the silence sounds better.

@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

Tonight in #Brussels you can almost hear the sound of relief crawling around the world right now, problems are not gone, but at least we can work now ! ⌘ https://blog.rmendes.net/2020/tonight-in-brussels-you-can-almost-hear-the-sound-of

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

Surprise of the day: the “you sent an e-mail” sound in Outlook for iOS really benefits from a decent amount of stereo separation. Kind of a pity that its separatedness will kind of be like an easter egg.

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

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net ok, that sounds suspicious.

Yesterday I visited the #munich #philharmony for the first time as the ‘Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg’ and the ‘Neuer Kammerchor Berlin’ were playing ‘The Sound Of Quentin #Tarantino’ – awesome!

Join subs using infra sound from master’s device #idea #spotify-family

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Sounds like yet another reason to never buy a smart TV, or at least to never depend on any functionality that requires it to be connected to the Internet.

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!

[sound of rain, quiet shuffling]↵… wait. stay↵- - hm. aye↵[more rain]

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

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org “best viewed in a rusty nail” just sounds weird to me, though.

Apparently the Peterson/Zizek debate went about as I expected: Peterson said nothing interesting, and Zizek said nothing on-topic. I’ll have to watch it later, because it sounds entertaining. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/04/live-commentary-on-the-zizek-peterson-debate

Brutalism And Music - Exploring Brutalist Architecture & Sound https://thespoonsterspouts.com/music/brutalism-and-music/

Don’t Be Afraid is a fantastic album, & it’s not hurt by the fact that every track other than Ozar Midrashim & The White Roses sounds the same – instead this is thematically appropriate.

The most effective april fool’s day joke is now to say things you mean without sounding sarcastic.

Analogue Mega Sg Review: Sounds Like a Winner https://tedium.co/2019/03/26/analogue-mega-sg-review/

I fixed my now-year-long semi-intermittent sound problem, & the explanation is compellingly stupid: sometimes when ubuntu upgrades sound driver modules it doesn’t make the /dev/snd tree user-writable, & pulse runs as the logged-in user.

Responses to my essay ‘Tech’s Masturbatory Historiography’ make me think that most people reading it don’t know what ‘historiography’ means. (It’s exactly what it sounds like…)

Band name of the day: modern sound synthesis

KEYBOARDS FOUND IN DUMPSTERS:↵2: great to type on. return randomizes the keyboard layout.↵4: black and white keys in weird arrangement. produces sound but no letters. may not be a keyboard.↵7: has a ticklish ‘a’ key and tries to edge away when I come near it↵10: enochian alphabet

Bad idea of the day: Rather than having a ‘madness’ mechanic, have a ‘stress’ mechanic that causes perceptual distortion (tunnel vision, increased color contrast, blurred vision, louder environmental sounds) & motor distortion (worse aim, movement delays)

For #NaNoGenMo I converted two of Stravinsky’s ballets to tone-poems by converting note frequencies to word frequencies. I dare somebody to do a dramatic reading of these; it’ll sound like an Underworld track: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky.md https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2018/stravinsky_pg.md

Slate is complaining that the witches in Suspiria (2018) aren’t scary. Has the author seen Suspiria (1977)? It’s a wonderful film but the scariest thing about it is the sound track.

Only the best illusionists can cast illusions that fool themselves. Sounds academic but makes them highly sought-after - True Resurrection is expensive and settled inside a zombie brain, such an illusion is as good as any soul.

house where you can extend flaps so that it makes more rain sounds

In case you were wondering, indeed, Female Prisoner Scorpion is a MUCH better movie than the title makes it sound like. (It is exploitation, but it is ALSO surreal impressionistic gothic horror. Also, every frame of this damn movie is gorgeous.)

@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!

Also pulse randomly decided that I didn’t get to have a driver for my (extremely common) sound card anymore. Jesus, systemd – you’re pushing linux on the desktop back to 1998 levels of bullshit.
