This makes so much sense! Looking at this I feel like this is what I've been Actually wanting from the moment they announced the NTS-1 I just didn't know it
If I were going to play exactly one game from the classic Wizardry series (or if such a thought horrifies you, imagine I"m asking which one to play first), which one would you recommend? Assume I'm totally flexible about platform (but do have access to un-emulated NES and SNES hardware)
Short version: all language-related UI on mastodon.social choke (in one way or another) if a post has its language code in uppercase letters, despite BCP 47 (the controlling standard for country codes in software) requiring parsers treat unusual capitalizations equivalently. I run into this all the time.
It seems like it must be really easy to fix, but the main mastodon dev team legitimately has a ton of other stuff to do at all times so will probably never get to this, and I have still never gotten around to setting up a Mastodon test bed so I'm probably not going to be attempting a patch myself
@hikari I was seriously considering installing ReactOS a month or so ago but when I looked into it it appears ReactOS has just never got that Big Community Love and the compatibility of ReactOS is worse than modern Wine.
So at that point… yeah , if I understand your proposal right that would be a useful thing, and when MS pulls the plug on Win10 there will be demand for that
Maybe u could even reuse the ReactOS shell. Seems "obvious" the ReactOS GUI probably runs in Wine
Been trying to figure out—in principle, the reason StackOverflow is CC-BY-SA is to allow for community mirrors, right?
Is there any way that I could just get a total local mirror of StackOverflow and search that locally, instead of having to visit StackOverflow which really doesn't deserve my support?
…Or does SO ban scraping, and the only reason for CC-BY-SA was so StackOverflow could (now that the rugpull's happened) claim the right to block u from delerng posts?? CC for them but not for us?
When supernatural urban fantasy film "Night Watch" (2004) was released outside of Russia, a new version was produced. An inferior one, imo. Since then the "International" version became the one distributed across all formats, and the original 115 min cut became confined to a DVD released only in Russia.
Late December I have an idea for a kinda-funny Web Art project I could make. It would require me to be able to "tokenize" a 4 hour video by word, that is, I'd need timestamps of the beginning of each word.
I assume this means using a text-to-speech library.
However, I don't want to use software that runs not-on-my-computer, or which is made by methods I consider unethical. This means using only old discontinued libraries, since all new ones are cloud-based. (1/3)
I tried cutting out the first 10 minutes of my input file & running on that. It worked decently, and ran at slightly better than real time. Between the fact RAM was creeping up the whole time it ran, and a status message printed in the successful run but not the "silent" one, I conclude on the full run it just ran out of RAM. So I could get what I want by speech-reccing the thing in chunks. Or just use Vosk like several people recommended
