Made some config changes to iceshrimp. Let's see if it breaks everything! For the curious, I switched to libvips for image processing, and now backfill users on follow.

@pvagner @mush42 I like kokoro much better than piper. It sounds more natural with fewer artifacts.

@pvagner @mush42 I'm not sure. I do kind of worry about a tts developed by and for blind people and if it can be kept up to date and maintained.

apple juice, alternative sexuality, meta, dreams, death, political reference, trolls @dodecahedron @BorrisInABox Like a low rent Alex Jones. Just angrily yelling about the apple juice perverts ruining mastodon.

apple juice, alternative sexuality, meta, dreams, death, political reference, trolls So here's a bit of a cleanse after that last horrible I posted. Last night, of all things, I dreamed that I was writing a post! The post was apparently as follows: "I dreamed I was drinking apple juice and it was yummy." I posted it, and then everyone started criticizing me! One person said it was proof that I was a horrible racist because I was dreaming about apple juice instead of dead children killed by genocide. Another said that I obviously didn't care about climate change because I was sleeping. But the worst was someone called hardboybrad@crack.horse, who went on a multi-post rant about how he was sick of all these apple juice perverts on the fediverse, and why didn't I put a content warning on my juice pornography, and how he was sick of seeing it on his feed and wished people would just post about bestiality or necrophilia or something normal, and all these apple juice perverts are the reason Mastodon will never catch on or be respectable. I was about to block him when I woke up.

@tspivey Yup. And it's way easier to copy results than it is running Python directly on the command line. Just press f6.

You know you're a long-time user when instead of opening a calculator app, you just open the NVDA Python console and solve your equation there. Is that just me?

@jscholes You can just do it with pip install --target=. to force pip to install a package and all dependencies to the current directory. Then import from the extension directory. The only issue is I'm not sure if onnxruntime has 32-bit binaries or if I'll need to cross-compile the wheel from source.

So keyoxide looks both simple enough to be used, and secure enough to be useful. I'd love to see some kind of linktree replacement built around this: keyoxide.org/aspe:keyoxide.org:PFAQDLXSBNO7MZRNPUMWWKQ7TQ

I'm really happy we can finally announce some work myself, @MostlyBlindGamer, @dhamlinmusic, and the other Rblind admins have been working on for a while. We've just released two open-source themes, light and dark, for Lemmy that should be more accessible and usable for and low vision folks. You can read the details, and please provide feedback, here: www.rblind.com/post/3476242

@ZBennoui @tspivey I think it's something with the onnx implementation actually. The pytorch version doesn't have this issue. There's an open issue looking into it.

@Tamasg @tspivey So it looks like the repo is still super active. For this to be an addon, we want: streaming samples in real time, and indication of speech starting and stopping. Anything else? I can open an issue to ask.

@SeveraSnape @cachondo @FreakyFwoof Coffee is the one true caffeine delivery system, and mint tea is the only acceptable hot drink without caffeine. ROFL
