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

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.

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

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.

Wellp, perfect timing, Keychron, thanks for releasing keyboards on the day I decided I needed a new keyboard. Pretty fucking cheap too. Grabbed their new numpad one, the B6 Pro Ultra-Slim Wireless Keyboard. Am excited. It has everything I want in a keyboard, USBC, 2.4 ghz wireless and bluetooth. Boom! Job done.

@FluidEscence I'm tempted to buy a Unicomp New Model M to see what it's like but the price is absurd.

@FluidEscence Have you heard of the IBM Model M? it's a new version of that by people who made the old ones.

@datajake1999 @FluidEscence cool. An original model m or the unicomp one?

@datajake1999 @FluidEscence What do you think of it?

@datajake1999 @FluidEscence Oh blimey No one's mentioned that in the reviews.

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.

@arch Would they play a recording of a Finnish guy yelling "And here we go"?

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.

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 really can't make our mind up as a country if we're imperial or metric.

@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.

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

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.

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.

Voice Vista’s breadcrumb feature is honestly amazing. Went for a 3 hour ish walk through forest and fields and there was no issue at all, even when mobile data cut out. Accuracy was always good, it didn’t lead me off my path once, it was so worth it and I’m gonna be doing this again. A lot. This is incredible stuff. I feel lucky that my brother is the kind of person who’ll happily set up breadcrumb trails for me. I stopped a few times to check where I was, and even though there were no points of interest or other markers around, and very limited connectivity, the beacons never stopped working. Seriously I’m very impressed. This is just really very good. The main thing I wish for is having a more dynamic breadcrumb system where you can link beacons together so that it can use them to calculate paths from A to B that haven’t specifically been set manually, but even in it’s current state I’m really happy with it.

@talon @zersiax So is this thing basically soundscape 2.0? I have the relaunched soundscape app.

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?

KaraLG84,
@KaraLG84@dragonscave.space avatar

If I was so inclined I'd do the opposite. the audio of me doing whatever but the video would be something completely different.
