I couldn't think of much worse than joining a local area's WhatsApp group.

@KaraLG84 I can confirm. I did and I left within a week.

I've just come across a Raycon earbuds "review" in quotes claiming that they're the best earbuds for vi people, and of course the video is sponsored by Raycon. So no, I bet they're not. It'll be just 99% copy he's been told to say to get that sweet YouTube money.

@KaraLG84 I have not seen these earbuds but did look up reviews and those said tehy aren't all that ... but who knows. Maybe they recently vastly improved :P

Why does VoiceOver think that ♡, is a Korean character? It's a heart.

zersiax,
@zersiax@cupoftea.social avatar

@KaraLG84 from what I can see its some kind of heart character reject from 1993 that really only works well on very few platforms, primarily Windows. Still wouldn't know why VO decides its Korean of all things but yeah ... its a random unicode character, not an actual emoji

For shits and giggles I thought I'd see if Be My AI could tell me the layout of a keyboard I was looking at. I asked it if the alt key was directly to the right of the Windows key. It said no, the key directly to the right of the Windows key is the Caps lock key.
So no, it can't.

jcsteh,

@zersiax @KaraLG84 On a related note, it also seems to be very confused about direction and orientation. I've had it say above when something is beside, left when it's right, etc. I'm fascinated by what aspect of its training or inference leads to that problem. I guess if it's trained on images and descriptions, perhaps there aren't enough similar images with different directions and orientations in order for the correct direction to have a higher probability? No idea what I'm talking about just musing really.

zersiax,
@zersiax@cupoftea.social avatar

@jcsteh @KaraLG84 seen that. I was trying to center an image in OBS and even with the size guides telling it how many pixels it is away from all sides it still finds that a very difficult task :)

I think it'd be awesome if there was an interactive fiction interpreter that had an interface similar to Mushclient or VIPMud with input and output edit fields you could navigate like any other edit control.
I have no idea how to even begin making such a thing, so if anyone wants to take that idea and run with it, feel free.

Finally got round to clearing out my desk drawer. It's just been full of junk like old Wi-Fi dongles, an old Logitech wireless mouse with a wheel that goes "Weeeeee!" when you flick it, even a long ago used iTunes gift card. I made sure I recorded the mouse going "Weeeee!" before I through it out though.

@KaraLG84 I threw out so many 90s-era Mac peripherals and networking cables after moving into my current small apartment and I still have a lot left somehow.

That mouse sounds pretty great though, R.I.P.

I love the artificial engine noises electric cars make at low speeds. One just went past making almost a square wave type sound.

This is a good recording of the Hyundai Kona EV's, which is what we have.
It's like a synth pad playing a major chord, and other layers get added in when it speeds up, including a bass note. Rather cool.

We've just been for a glass of Pepsi in a local pub. First time we've done that in years and it was quite nice. Not too loud.

@zersiax We would actually say we're putting on the pounds, then if you get weighed at the doctors they use kilos. go figure as they say.

zersiax,
@zersiax@cupoftea.social avatar

@KaraLG84 lol you put on the pounds, you gain weight, and you weigh that weight in kilos ...unless you're in the US, then you don't :P

We're watching Independence Day: Resurgence for the first time. So far the best thing about it is Jeff Goldblum being Jeff.

veronica,
@veronica@mastodon.online avatar

@KaraLG84 I saw it when it came out, and as I recall, Jeff Goldblum was the only thing good about that film!

I wish Twitch streamers would read out the comment they're replying to. It's so distracting hearing them randomly talking to themselves when you're not paying attention to the trillions of messages coming into the chat every second, or even not looking at it at all.
It's one reason why I don't watch Twitch streams.

weirdwriter,

@zersiax @KaraLG84 Or at least, I don’t think you have to read the whole entire chat, but at least try to summarize the chat or the question your replying to before you reply to it. :-) Reminds me, going to check out your streams. There are sided people that are listening to these like a podcast and are not looking at the screen

zersiax,
@zersiax@cupoftea.social avatar

@weirdwriter @KaraLG84 exactly and particularly when you watch an archive or VOD or whatever you want to call it, it's not always easy (e.g. mobile) to see the chat scroll, so at least giving an indicator is a good idea. I am generally pretty good about at least indicating Who I'm responding to, or somehow including the question in th eanswer, (Yes, I am indeed using XY), but I am very cognisant of the fact I do forget at times and it's one of my improvements I want to make :)

When I was a kid I thought reading Braille was a chore since I've always been slow at it. I regret that now. Kids, don't be like me.

I find it weird when people replace the audio in videos of them going somewhere with a random song. I want to hear what the place sounds like, also what does Bill Withers' Lovely Day have to do with a market in Denmark?

jaybird110127,

@cordova5029 @KaraLG84 LOL I can just see it now. So the audio sounds like, let's say, a scene in a horror movie or something. But look at the video, and it's someone brushing their teeth.

cordova5029,

@jaybird110127 @KaraLG84 exactly like that . THe audio is someone dropping many many heavy glass objects from a high place, while the video is someone, shaving lol.

I really do overthink emoji language. I started wondering how you'd form tenses like saying you've done the thing the emoji represents. Probably with face emojis and arrows.

zersiax,
@zersiax@cupoftea.social avatar

@KaraLG84 there's languages that don't really conjugate, you usually have to work with words like " yesterday I be sick" or " small time ago I punch tree"

LGR, there was no need to write "the future" in your video title using fancy text like this:
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘
When will you lot get bored of pretty letters?

@KaraLG84@dragonscave.space avatar

I bet if there was unicode characters that jumped up and down and flashed all the colours you'd use them.

@KaraLG84 course. draws attention. attention's good. watch me watch me watch meeee!

@NVAccess What's the current way of legally getting a copy of Eloquence these days? I assume the only option is Code Factory's SAPI 5 version?

NVAccess,
@NVAccess@fosstodon.org avatar

@KaraLG84 Good question, and one to which I don't really have an answer. I'm not sure how long Code Factory will keep the authentication server for the SAPI 5 version up - we haven't got any info from them.

bryansmart,

@simon @twynn @jcsteh @NVAccess @KaraLG84 I'll happily break any laws to use Eloquence, without the smallest pang of guilt. The number of times I've already been forced to pay for it, over and over, for something that hasn't been updated in over 20 years, is the real crime.
