they made lojban sound beautiful🤯
("THE vocaloid #yuri #song" as they describe it)
of their #songs most i like #sambahsa ones but this one is actually pretty cool
this #vocaloids master has come a long way, if you compare their first pieces to recent ones you'll be shocked by the progress! and theyve got so few (>510) subscriptions, too few😥 yes i understand the audience for #vocaloid #covers (mostly on #anime songs and other vocaloid songs) in #conlangs is very limited but still im sure there are more #conlanging fans like me out there who might appreciate their workhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lozdHCMR9so

Someone's already digging into the #Spotify #CarThing device and discovered that it's just a screen that runs on #Linux (not #Android 🎉), on #Wayland (this shocked me, but cool). Also it essentially just runs a #Chromium/#Chrome browser, a really old one.
Hardware-wise, it has a 4 core arm64 SOC, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB eMMC storage.

18 Years Ago Today
18 years ago today I got down on one knee and asked the love of my life if she would marry me.
Even after all this time, I am still shocked that she said yes. I mean, I knew she was going to say yes. We had talked about it quite a bit before the moment actually came. It’s just that I had lived 37 years being solidly convinced that I was never going to find anyone and I was going to be alone forever and then suddenly here I was popping the question and getting a “yes” in return. It was fucking amazing.

I don’t think we’re doing anything special to celebrate our 18th proposalversary. I’m planning on making hamburgers for dinner, which is always cool. I do tend to set off the smoke alarms when I cook burgers in the kitchen though. Cross your fingers for no issues.
Tomorrow evening we’re going to see a Star Wars movie because my childhood obsession still burns brightly and I cannot function in a world where a Star Wars movie is in the theaters and I have not seen it. Here’s to The Mandalorian and Grogu. I have remained utterly free of spoilers and reviews thus far. I just have to stay that way for about another 31 hours. Cross your fingers for no spoilers.
Yesterday I tried to use a post here to alter space and time so that my film photos would get developed, scanned, and uploaded to The Dark Room’s site. It didn’t really work. If it had the pics would have been available immediately. Instead, I got the notification overnight. It was after 1:00am, which means someone in California was putting in a late night. Your hard work is appreciated. I won’t be able to share anything until I get them downloaded, run through Apple Photos, then uploaded to Flickr. Suffice to say, my new camera works.
In closing, allow me to stand in front of the universe of the interwebs and once again declare my love for my bride, Jen. I would propose to her again in a heartbeat. I love her like crazy. Our actual wedding anniversary is a little more than a week away. Another chance to shout my love from the virtual rooftops.
Love you, sweetie.

CW: Snark about Kyle Sandilands
I normally wouldn't comment on this kind of stuff, but this quote from currently erstwhile Sydney shock jock and consistently all-round piece of shit Kyle Sandilands is just too precious.
"I just want to get back to work. I’ve got a family, I’ve got mortgages to pay, like everyone else."
Mortgage*s* to pay. Note the plural.
The man is on a cool 7+ million base salary just for being a dickhead on radio. Several advertising and licensing deals put him considerably north of 10. If I was on that kind of money, I wouldn't take out fucking mortgages - I'd pay cash.
"I have mortgage*s* to pay, like everyone else." I suppose being this far out of touch comes with the territory when you're worth hundreds of millions. Sure, everyone owns a bunch of investment properties that they're trying to wring maximum profit out of, at the cost of everyone else.
Fucking piece of shit.

Ah, the Viking Age. One of the most mythologized eras in history, and a bottomless well of inspiration for cool things like video games, shows, books, tattoos, and bad things like obsession over ancestral purity, shockingly racist ideologies, and lutefisk. But the best thing of all, and most importantly, music! Which leads us to Danheim (Literally “Danish Home”). Danheim is the solo Nordic folk project by Reidar Schæfer Olsen, and Heimferd is his first full album in four years, which might as well be an eternity. Danheim is usually very prolific, with eight albums released between 2017 and 2021, with about a gazillion singles released during and after those 4 years. Furthermore, Danheim is one of the more well-known Nordic folk artists; he has numerous collaborations with, to name a few, Gealdýr, Sigurboði, Heldom, and has, like Wardruna, been featured on the History Channel’s Vikings. In other words, Danheim is something of a titan of the genre—is Heimferd worth the wait?
Danheim’s music, and by extension Heimferd, is a sonic extension of the version of the Vikings that has embedded itself within people’s imagination and contemporary media: an intoxicating image of a powerful and mysterious people, plunged into a captivating world of violence and mysticism.1 Most might immediately connect Danheim’s sound to Wardruna (not unjustifiably), but that paints a rather flat picture. The music is cinematic in a way that calls to mind a less avant-garde Heilung, it vibrates with a slightly electronic, tribal weight that, at this point, belongs more to Danheim than any of his peers (but one might still compare it to Vígundr or Heldom), and it’s atmospheric and densely layered like, well, Wardruna. But I believe it’s the simple immediacy of Danheim’s that has made him the Nordic folk titan that he is. It’s just so easy to fall under the spell of electronically augmented droning chants set to the rhythm of deep, beating drums, heard in some form or another in nearly every song on Heimferd.
…and yet, there sadly wafts an air of shallowness across Heimferd. There is an unfulfilled relationship between Heimferd’s sound and its songwriting. Heimferd’s stellar production and the variety of instruments create a captivating soundscape, but so rarely do songs breathe or evolve in a way that gives the songs life. This is felt all throughout Heimferd. “Heljar Skuggar” and “Rúnmyrkr” each utilize engaging, distorted chants in the vein of Heilung, but feel stagnant, without peaks or valleys. Songs are often lacking in stakes or tension, the worst of which is heard in the lifeless “Valvejen” as it flits loosely between tagelharpa melodies and excessive downtime. For songs meant to sound almost hypnotic in their droning, much comes off as forgettable, like “Kominn Dagr” as it switches from monotone chanting into a toothless tagelharpa melody, neither section given ample time to grow or make an impact. Clearly, Danheim places a lot of emphasis on atmosphere, and Heimferd is indeed viking-y at a distance—but up close, there is little to sink your teeth into.
This is not always the case, however, with a handful of songs towering above the rest. The vocal-heavy closer, “Yggdrasil II” (a sequel to “Yggdrasil” from 2018’s Fridr), has a quiet majesty to its rhythmic and beautiful chorus. “Vindfari” is an unassuming song that really sneaks up on you, as the drums march behind a simple chanting melody with a peculiar, percussive vocal delivery to some words that adds unique character to the song. Heimferd’s best song is “Haukadalur,” though. This song moves and breathes like a living thing, as distant haggard exhalations augment a powerful beat which heralds a coarse, dancing tagelharpa. These songs have such richness to their melodies, making the most of Danheim’s accessible and engaging style. It feels as if this has been my experience with every Danheim album: two or three genuinely stellar tracks that speak of an artist capable of amazing things, surrounded by songs that sound great but leave little impression.
Danheim has ever been frustrating for me, and Heimferd reaffirms that feeling. His infectious soundscape sufficiently conjures a Viking-age atmosphere and energy, but with base songwriting that so rarely transforms the music into something lasting or impactful. It’s strange, because my first listen of Heimferd was the most positive one, and I think it’s because Danheim’s style of Nordic folk can be cathartic in a way not many other artists within the genre are. But on each subsequent spin, when I listen closer, probing, pleading for depth, I’m left wanting. Heimferd is the distilled essence of the modern perception of Vikings, but with little drama or tension. It’s fun, but ephemeral.

It’s strange, because my first listen of Heimferd was the most positive one, and I think it’s because Danheim’s style of Nordic folk can be cathartic in a way not many other artists within the genre are. But on each subsequent spin, when I listen closer, probing, pleading for depth, I’m left wanting. Heimferd is the distilled essence of the modern perception of Vikings, but with little drama or tension. It’s fun, but ephemeral.

“It’s a bit early to see days between 95 & 100 & 100-plus,” Hurley added. “The other dangerous aspect of this is the fact that it had been relatively cool across a lot of these areas in the East over the month of June & up to this point. So this will be a shock to the system.”
The NWS issued #heat advisories & #ExcessiveHeat warnings across much of the #Midwest, #Ohio Valley & #Eastern #UnitedStates.

@BrodieOnLinux #PulseAudio is crazy...
Any app (easy to control with #Flatpak) that has Pulseaudio permission can not only output sound, but spy on your mic too.
It is pretty shocking how few apps have native Pipewire support. #Gapless, #Celluloid and #Haruna (modern and nice audio and video players) are all Wayland-native but rely on Pulseaudio.
Firefox supports pipewire... for webcams??
Pipewire-pulse is no real change, but for sure I can do cool snakey things with the sound stream

As they took in the view from the twentieth floor, the lights went out all over the city. Shocked, they reached for their phone before realizing that it was a pointless exercise. It looked like the grid had finally reached it's limit with the latest heat wave. It was the worst in a chain of ever higher ones. Each one placing a greater strain on the city grid as people tried to cool off. Would the power come back this time?
They cracked the windows, letting the hot, smoggy, night air drift in, the heat causing their skin to prickle, the humidity making their lungs to gasp. If this was what we had been left then so be it. The neighbors had been starting to help each other setup solar charging points on the roof and balconies which should allow the most vulnerable along them in the building to keep their life saving equipment running through the night and run small fans for everyone during the day. They had it better than most. A stable job, though it paid far too little, at the RoboCorp factory and a roof over their heads that was owned by all the tenets outright, not some scumbag landlord.
A knock on the door startled them from their reverie...

over the past couple days I played and finished opposing force for the first time, I think it brings a bunch of QOL and cool features like
- actually useful allies (medics & engineers)
- a melee that doesn't suck (wrench altfire my beloved)
- rope physics in goldsrc??????
- barnacle grappling
- nv goggles much more useful than the world's tiniest flashlight
- a much better replacement for alien grunts (not a fan of the pit drones and shock roaches though)
the problem is that many of these cool features just aren't capitalized on enough, barnacle grappling remains nothing more than a gimmick, engineers probably bust like 3 doors at most in the whole campaign
another issue with opfor is how it retreads old ground (the pit worm is nearly identical to hl1's tentacles and barely adds anything new to distinguish itself) and how surprisingly short it is (it felt?)
that's a shame cause what is there is mostly quite great, I really like the location design and the gameplay is just as fun (if not more than) the base game, not to mention hard mode didn't feel tedious at all (enemies still did feel like they were tanking too much damage from weapons like the smg but it's not as bad as I remember hl1 being)

don't get me wrong this #economy (#finance) #system is a #catastrophe and we have to fix it or we and the #planet will go to hell
#Germany repeating #history? PLEASE NO + YOUNG PEOPLE GET SOME EDUCATION!!!
JUST LIKE IN 1930s THE ECONOMIC SHOCK WAVE THAT WILL TRIGGER MORE RADICALISM WILL BE SEND FROM THE #USA (THANKS F**** STU*P*D #TRUMP IDIOTS)!
the #education system in #US must be terrible but DESPITE THE INTERNET a lot of YOUNG ADULTS in #Germany (u know those that LIKE TO SIGNUP for the #war "adventure" because war looks so cool in movies and the camera man never dies (HE DOES)) discuss in this video, that they are not fascists, the others are the extreme #left (standing right behind them) are the #fascists
this is ABSOLUTELY #terrible #chilling #catastrophe #history repeating life of millions in danger because #history class was soooooo booooring right?
#reichweiteTV is a #AfD member (the #extremeright aka pro #fascism pro #dictatorship pro #rightwing) reporter that CLAIMS TO BE PRO DEMOCRACY while not understanding that #fascism is the opposite, he infiltrates opposite demonstrations like this one in #berlin
in this scene two YOUNG AND STUPID (?) #rightwing get educated by an older man who at first does not know they do not belong to the #antifascist demonstration
the older man CLEARLY HAS LEARNED FROM #HITLER AND THE #NAZIS and #TRUMPETS: THEY LIE IN YOUR FACE just to get what they want: less democracy more power more money more control more reckless profiteering more support for other autocrats
PROBLEM: 75 years after #worldwar2 there are NOT ENOUGH old people around to tell the story... and books and youtube history or reading on the internet are so boring right?

I won a painting competition! Dream Pod 9's 'Gold Gear 2024' for the Heavy Gear Blitz wargame and RPG. Still a little shocked, but also flattered. I really was proud of how this one turned out. The best I've ever placed in any painting competition before was an honorable mention, so this really made my day.
Full entry list at https://dp9forum.com/topic/27986-golden-gear-2024-painting-competition-entry-photos there's some really cool ones.

Pensando en #MentirasEternas una vez más y de cómo no me funciona a mí.
Ni su historia de fondo ni su desarrollo.Hay algo que le echo muy en falta y es la coherencia temática o la presencia temática.
Muchas escenas funcionan como shock value o rule of cool pero no conducen a apoyar los temas de la obra. Termina siendo una búsqueda de Bolas de Dragón o un desarrollo de misiones un tanto videojueguil.
Y eso funciona para mucha gente, para la mayoría.
Pero yo no me alineo con esa propuesta.

Oh yeah, crap, I have Mastodon still. Nothing cool happened. #velmaseries absolutely sucks, #TheLastOfUsHBO is as faithful to the source material as it is fun to watch. I'm not sure why I'm still shocked when a video game adaptation is good, but HBO nailed it. Fuck them for raising the price on #hbomax though, try that post #DiscoveryPlus merger and watch what happens. I'm not paying $20/month for access to #my600poundlife I just want that #venturebros movie

Obligatory #introduction. I'm not a hashtag guy but they make searching work (sorry).
Hi, I'm Jake, a senior software engineer at #microsoft working on the #typescript team (doing cool stuff like https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/51387 , build, perf stuff).
Previously, I worked on #Pylance / #pyright for #python.
My favorite and most used language, shockingly, is Go (#golang).
Though I'm on Windows for work / gaming, I've otherwise been running #archlinux for well over a decade (love sway, i3 before that).

Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer’s identity as she investigates her suspects… all familiar DC archers uniquely linked to a recently murdered Oliver Queen.

Multiple Eisner Award-winning creator JAMES TYNION IV (Exquisite Corpses), no-holds-barred writer MARGUERITE BENNETT (Witchblade), rising star artist LETIZIA CADONICI (House of Slaughter), and Eisner Award-winning colorist JORDIE BELLAIRE (Redlands) conjure a hallucinogenic horror story that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.

SOLICIT COPY:
Forty-nine witnesses, seven wives, one dead husband.
On Monday, April 17, at 9:04 a.m., two police detectives are dispatched to investigate a death on a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints compound in remote Arizona. Matthew Dunn, the patriarch of the Dunn family, has been found stabbed on the pulpit of his temple, basking in the blood-soaked gaze of his savior.
Detectives Aguilar and Halwell begin the arduous task of questioning each of Matthew’s seven wives and quickly encounter a brick wall of memorized Scripture, canned platitudes, and locked lips. It becomes clear that the women’s intricately braided hair, voices with sweet affectations, and modest clothing aren’t just signs of Matthew’s brainwashing but armor they use to protect their family. But with each interrogation, the cracks begin to show — the abuse, the truth of living and surviving in this cult — and the detectives uncover the unholy gospel of Matthew Dunn.
