Time to (delete the profile and set it up from scratch).

I love the program, but it can be cantankerous at times. Everything works fine, except the SMS function gets overwhelmed at times and requires me to "whack" it.

Half my kingdom for a Signal client that works on ARM (and no, I'm hella not going to compile electron on my pinebook, get outta here, lol)

I've tried Axolotl via flatpak, but it just crashes on start with some kind of (oh gee) electron error.

Too much emulation and gaming related stuff. Today I'll read a bit on my #Kobo

@joel

I still need to read your Kobo review. It looked really interesting.

I got my grandma's first-gen Kindle DX. The 3G network doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't have Wifi, so I have no way of clearing her account or adding mine, but I can still sideload.

The battery doesn't last but a few minutes, though, so I might see about replacing that.

It would be neat to have a large-screen ereader, even if it's kinda bulky.

Missy's Pies Mayday from Ramsey's Diners with my .

No pie for me (diet), but I'm enjoying a croissant with my iced tea.

Salud!

@SolusSpider

I'm too warm for hot tea right now ;)

Basically, I asked them for a refresher (their non-carbonated soft drink, or what some countries would call a "sherbet" (e.g., kool-aid)) without sugar. Since their mixes all have sugar, they brewed a passion tea, added for me, and gave it to me iced.

Otherwise, I'm all for hot tea. But not if I'm already feeling warm ;)

So... don't tell @amin that I stooped to drinking iced tea, lol

(j/k, I love iced tea, but I don't really consider it TEA. It's a soft drink ;)

What if you just stepped in from walking in 100 degree heat? Do you still reach for hot coffee? ;)

For audio editing, would this have any advantages over Audacity, which is what I use?: LosslessCut - swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing - LinuxLinks https://www.linuxlinks.com/losslesscut-swiss-army-knife-of-lossless-video-audio-editing/

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@BrideOfLinux

If you're re-arranging audio/video without doing anything to the audio itself (like amplification, dynamic range compression, noise reduction), it has the advantage of not having to decompress/recompress the audio/video which can introduce more artifacts.

Seems like a very neat project. Unfortunately, 90% of what I do in Audacity is dynamic range compression, so it's a moot point for me.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@BrideOfLinux

Sure thing! Being able to rearrange A/V without having to decode/reencode it is really neat, though. They deserve major props for what they've been able to accomplish so far.

I'd love to see audio editing that happens purely in the frequency domain. It would be almost like lossless editing, as (AFAIK) you'd be tweaking the already-lossy-compreased values, rather than decode -> edit -> encode.

I'd love to see an editor smart enough to edit a compresses audio stream directly…

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@BrideOfLinux

...but I know that's a BIG ask, and would require extensive research and re-writing to support more than one codec.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@BrideOfLinux

Yeah, it's just usually a matter of one of the following happening:

  1. A company decides to develop it and for some reason releases it as open source
  2. An open source nerd with lots of experience in audio and codecs gets REALLY bored one day and/or miffed that there isn't more lossless editing tools... ;)

Dear God... trying to type into the chat field on major financial website on a 12th Gen i7 and it's like watching the text appear in slow motion.

The closest thing to this right now (other than informally non-commercial spaces like Gemini) is Amateur Radio, where it's illegal to transact commerce or to advertise.

@Longplay_Games @phf

WOW. That's two years before my first experiments on the fediverse.

What was it like back then? Was Mastodon even a thing, or was it just GNU Social?

I know most of the crew at @tuxjam were on the fedi for a very long time, going all the way back to the identi.ca days.
