Greetings, friends and enemies alike. I am Joseph King, a 31-year-old, totally blind musician currently residing in Texas, United States. I play #drums, #piano, #guitar (sort of), #melodica, a minuscule amount of #accordion (shame I don't have one anymore) #djembe, and finally I'm also a #vocalist. I'm a lover of #jazz, #baroque, #romantic, #classical, 'sCountry, #bluegrass, #funk, #fusion, #latin and some #InstrumentalMetal for flavor. #NoBridge

Hey @MonaApp, I'm having a couple problems. First, if I have a post that was sent immediately after composition, and I try to reply to that post to create a thread, but schedule any subsequent posts after that in the thread, I'm told that the post couldn't be sent because the data format is incorrect, yet the post still shows up as if nothing were amiss. Secondly, when I try to schedule posts with VoiceOver on Mac, VoiceOver doesn't keep focus on the time picker, but tends to jump around the scheduling area to a completely different day every so often. I'm not at all sure what's going on here or how I can fix it, so I figured I'd see what you guys could do about the issues, if anything. Thanks for a fabulous app!

Version 2.0 of the sextortion scam e-mail has arrived (Feat. a nonsensical reference to Artificial Intelligence), and it's really nasty. The scammer capitalizes on the fact that most people don't know they can send e-mails from someone else's address, telling me that they've collected sensitive information and videos from not just me, but also my family. They threaten to spread all of it far and wide using my email address, framing me for the leak.
This also calls me "Simon J", a name I only ever used on Xitter. I've had my e-mail in my bio for a while, but I changed my name to Simon J🦣 1.5 years ago, so I'd guess they're working from an old data leak or something.

@simon Ah, how I love scammers who try to use feer tactics. Sorry, but that wouldn't work on me. I don't put any stock in such clames in the first place, and would never do so in any case unless I could conclusivelly proove that they were true. The scammer needs to write better. They sound like they're trying way to hard to threaten someone.

I just discovered a new mobile app for streaming on iOS. Izicast. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/izicast/id1462571191

@simon @Bri Streaming to your own icecast server with backpack doesn't cost. The thing that does is if you want to stream to the backpack server, or use the live interviews thing.

@TodayInTwitter It's like musk is basicly ignoring or avoiding the questions he doesn't want to answer. Huh. Shocker! Said no one ever.

Hey @MonaApp, I've noticed a weird thing in V6.2.1. I can schedule a post to be sent out at a later date/time, but if I try to schedule another one after that, I get an error that states that the post couldn't be read because the data format is incorrect. To make this even weirder, subsequently scheduled posts that include this error still get sent out at the scheduled time. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it, or is this something you'll have to resolve on your end?

My iPhone 13 battery is shockingly bad, but insists it's at 82% health. Apple still will not replace it until it drops to 80. So, now I'm connected to TeamTalk, running Blind Square, screen recording, and recording 4K video, with brightness at 100%. Can anyone think of some other things I can do to torture this phone into submission?

@simon Run a few benchmarks with geekbench.

hopefully we find someone who has or who will play lol, i'm at a loss

@fairyqueen91 I know @objectinspace plays. I'll be asking him some question myself if I can eventually get the game and mod. Doom's a game I've wanted to play for a while.

just had me a shot of butter pecan moonshine. Probably some of the smoothest stuff I've ever had next to the banana cream flavor from the same brewery, Ole Smoky.

We just bought one of those washing machines where the motor that spins the drum has absolutely no sound. Spinning does, but it's massively quieter than the old machine we had. I've never heard anything quite like it.

@FreakyFwoof That is entirely too awesome. It's all happy about itself.

@FreakyFwoof Isn't it just? It's like...Oh hey I finished my job. Here, have a little concert to show you how utterly satisfied I am with my lot. Enjoy my happy!

    @TodayInTwitter The bit that only premium members can actually make calls to people, whether they pay for premium or not, definitely gives me a really, really creepy feeling. It's like only having the ability to start a conversation with someone if you've done them a favor. If you haven't, you can't talk. I'm not here for that.

    Had a little downtime, so made a little engine sound experiment using Web Audio API.
    7 Oscillators, a wave shaper, and two filters.
    Still playing with it, but I think it sounds pretty neat.
    The things I do to procrastinate working on actual projects...

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @talon Not gonna lie, if this ever became more fully fledged with the possibility to change engine types, shift gears, work with different gear ratios and stuff...I'd totally make use of this. I love things like this.

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @talon Now that would actually be kind of cool.

    I made myself say many many utterly ridiculous things by taking a recording of hailstones hitting a microphone, running that through speech to speech with my voice as an output, then the almost mumble-language it produced dubbed into English, again using my voice as the output, to get... Whatever this is. I literally have no idea.

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @FreakyFwoof That is both scary and very, very impressive. If I'd been told even 5 or 6 years ago that this would be possible, I'd have told whoever told me that to bugger off.

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @FreakyFwoof Imagine what this tech is gonna be like in another 5 or 10 years. Suno.ai is already pretty good for what it is, and improvements will be made to AI in general. What a time to be alive.

    So, blind people. How in the hell are you supposed to log into the TikTok website if it requires a captcha with no audio alternative?

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @simon @Brynify I have a friend who uses tiktok on occasion I never get how she manages it. I tried it for maybe 30 seconds once and said fuck it.

    Found a FLAC copy of the 1982 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, which I had on 13 CDs in the early 2000's. Some of those CDs were damaged because I played them quite a lot. It's great to have an exact digital duplicate of that. The production really feels ahead of its time; I assumed it was a lot newer until I saw the year as part of the metadata.
    Debating on manually editing out all the beginning and end material on each CD and merging it all into an M4B or something. One of the many benefits of lossless is being able to do that without any transcoding.

    @simon I really, really want this.

    @caseynewton Too bad this article's behind a paywall. Otherwise i'd read it.

    I don't know what's going on at Amazon's department but someone needs to drop whatever the fuck they're doing and fix this. It's been this way for months, and I know I've personally emailed them and directed others to do the same. I'm currently trying to find a more polite way to say this in a followup email. How does this even happen in 2023?

    jdking92,
    @jdking92@dragonscave.space avatar

    @simon Fuck politeness. Tell them off, loudly. Clearly politeness isn't working here.

    I'm restarting my new/favourite thread here, since is well, that... Let's start with this incredible thing, which is keeping me so engrossed that I cannot put it down, other than to type this. I will add to the thread with subsequent reads, and perhaps some old favourites.
