completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@dodecahedron @BorrisInABox Actually that person sounded a lot like an angry young Tara Strong. So you got the Canadian part right.

@dodecahedron @BorrisInABox Like a low rent Alex Jones. Just angrily yelling about the apple juice perverts ruining mastodon.

@dodecahedron @BorrisInABox Sure, who wants to play hard boy Brad? Lol

So here's a bit of a cleanse after that last horrible #fedidreams I posted. Last night, of all things, I dreamed that I was writing a #fedidreams 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 #NVDA user when instead of opening a calculator app, you just open the NVDA Python console and solve your equation there. Is that just me? #NVDASR

@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.

@Tamasg @tspivey And here's how to do streaming: github.com/thewh1teagle/kokoro-onnx/blob/main/examples/with_stream.py

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 #lemmy #accessibility 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 #blind and low vision folks. You can read the details, and please provide feedback, here: www.rblind.com/post/3476242 #a11y #fediverse #opensource

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@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.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@Tamasg @tspivey Issue is here if anyone wants to chime in: github.com/thewh1teagle/kokoro-onnx/issues/13

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@SeveraSnape @cachondo @FreakyFwoof Really? I hear that's one of the primary symptoms of people having ADHD.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@atherjammoa @SeveraSnape @cachondo @FreakyFwoof That's what I do whenever I have a sore throat.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@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.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

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

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@Tamasg It returns samples by default. I'm just using a python library to write them to a file.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@SeveraSnape @cachondo @FreakyFwoof Depends. Peperment? What kind of tea? LOL

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@cachondo @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof Yeah, and get fanficfare configured on a server somewhere. It can monitor an imap account, find emails from FF and AO3, and auto-update your epub files.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@FreakyFwoof @SeveraSnape @cachondo Same. Although apparently she drinks coke in the morning instead of coffee! So I dunno... LOL JK
