Have done standup and co-hosted a podcast before. Sometimes, I make empty threats about starting to do both again.
If either happens, rest assured you'll be the last to know.

@guilevi@dragonscave.space Man I'm so fucking tired of vibe coded tripe that makes me wonder whether anyone tried using their half-baked dream at all between typing a prompt and pressing publish 1.0, but Teams... Teams is something so much worse.

@RickiTarr@beige.party I ate dinner at friends' houses as often as I could. Sometimes even when their parents said I couldn't. Guessing you can read between the lines...
Please drop me a DM if you use NVDA and REAPER, you don't have any Native Instruments hardware and you'd like to help me open up access to way more instruments without being strongarmed into buying hardware. Think I've figured out something cool. I need a machine that hasn't ever had a Native Instruments controller connected to verify whether my prototype works.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space This is why all blindy apps need in-built radio players, music could soothe your discomfort.

@micr0 Heads up for any screen reader users who want to support this. On the KoFi page, the toggle buttons to choose One Time or Monthly donation don't update their states properly at the moment, screen readers say One time is unpressed and Monthly is pressed no matter what you do. If you hit either Enter or Space on whichever button you want to choose, hitting either of those keystrokes does work.
FYI I got confirmation from a working set of peepers and finished making a donation here to verify.
I think there's someone at KoFi I can reach easily, will try to get it fixed.

@rlegowski1@tweesecake.social Shouldn't do. Make sure you disable the current one though, no idea what'll happen if they both try to start but I'm guessing it won't be pleasant lol

@daygar@tweesecake.social That noise at the end is basically what I hear after about 10 seconds of anyone trying to tell me why VoiceOver is good enough in Mac OS.

@micr0 I've pinged an old thread where I got a few other things fixed up a while ago. Let's see whether that works first, might hit you up about boosting for some extra noisiness in due course though.
Do I know anyone who's got a reliable virtual machine with recent Mac OS running on Ryzen CPUs? Performance doesn't need to be great, I'll only spin it up to check where an option is, verify keystrokes are accurate etc. I'm working on a thing where there are too many of those questions to make asking around practical, but last I looked it was stupidly difficult to get this running on Ryzen. If I know anyone who has it going, please get in touch with details of how you did it.
No pressure, all I'm saying is that acquiring a Neo just to verify keystrokes would be utterly ridiculous and I can feel a wreckless feeling brewing...

@Matthew2468@dragonscave.space @NVAccess@fosstodon.org One pretty good idea would be to wait for more than an hour before you follow up.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com @theblindjoe@mastodon.social It's rough. Windows built in OCR doesn't get all the controls. Xinyi OCR NVDA add-on might do better. Addictive isn't my thing here so I haven't tried it firsthand, have seen it do well with other similar layouts/controls though.

@tink Hey, I've got a dim memory of a couple people I play poker with over in the states switching to a pump that they find accessible enough to be a daily driver. Might be controlled via an app, they're both on iOS. Do you want me to ask for details/put you in touch?

@rlegowski1@tweesecake.social Maybe try disabling that temporarily and give this one a go. Been using it for yonks without issues and it has a compatibility layer to keep the same library files working on 64-bit.

@theblindjoe@mastodon.social @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Try Control+P for Preferences, go to the MIDI Inputs category, tab til you find the list of devices. In there you'll have a couple of entries that mention Komplete or Native Instruments. Find the one that matches your controller, hit Applications or Shift+F10 for its context menu, you want all of these choices checked:
"Enable input for track record input",
"Include input in All MIDI Inputs",
"Enable input for control messages".
In that list, there'll also be an entry that mentions Komplete and ends with the word DAW. Don't enable that one. It's only used internally.
Hope it helps!

@kaveinthran@mastodon.stickbear.me Seen a few of these popping up lately. Gave this one a first run. It's not far enough along to be excited about yet IMO. Webview isn't the way.

@rlegowski1@tweesecake.social Not a clue. But which add-on are you using for Eloquence there? Simplest solution might be to change to a different one.

@BrailleScreen@dragonscave.space @Estrella@dragonscave.space @bermudianbrit@mastodon.online That's a good find, thanks! Probably gonna retire the very old version of RadioCaster I've been using here for years. Old because they charge for major version upgrades and I'm stingy, it still works lol.

@tink It's called Tandem Mobi. Totally accessible via the iOS app. Decent learning curve for all the various functions, but has been a life changer for them. I'll DM you with their email in a sec, they said you're welcome to get in touch with questions.

@FreakyFwoof Your link is newer anyway. Looks like he bumped the version up but hasn't generated a new release on GitHub. https://github.com/tspivey/partialLines/releases
