@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk And here in Preston, we continue to have to deal with a bus war, daily gridlock and a complete lack of any kind of useful funding for anything!

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk Look at the people who are no classed as disabled, especially the younger ones, and consider how many of those could have handled the kinds of jobs there were in the 70s, that people consider to be overstaffing I think we could solve an incredible number of problems by doing some things more like we did back then

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social Which is why I bother. AI is brilliant for music overall. Music is about the listening and the feelings it gives the listener. Different people like different things, there will always be a place for tallented musicians because some people will remain interested in that aspect of music, but if it means there's more good music to listen to, I'm in, and it really will just get easier and easier to prompt it for exactly what you want

@NVAccess@fosstodon.org And for once, I felt able to upgrade instantly, as usual thanks to a nice version of Eloquence already working, not the code factory rubbish!

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Paperback saves my life so often!

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social Modrn pop sounds like absolute shit, all of it. With dance music, doing odd things to vocals has really become a big thing, and that experientation is leading to variable quality. With rock, I hate how dark most modern production is. The only band I've heard experiment lately and liked it is Temples

@SapphireRose91@tweesecake.social You could try lol

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social I figured you would, since you were obviously aware of it

@serrebi@serrebiradio.com On Windows, have you done anything to it in recent times, like the last few months? I stopped updating because it already works really well and the auto-updator wasn't working for me, but that was a good while ago now!

I'm just back from TechABreak, organised as always by TAVIP. This was the best one I've ever been to, and happily, the star of the show, I think everyone agreed, was Glide. Glidance were there, showing it off and everybody, including me, seemed to love it

@jessmonsilva@tweesecake.social Very nice. I preordered mine right at the start

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social Right, so, you know I used to be more of a rock fan than anything? Well, this is catchy as anything, I love it, but if I were going to do anything to it, I'd get rid of some or all of the guitars and mids, maybe make it a bit housier, but I still love the melody and lyrics of this, and definitely not too bright this time

@RaineyDay@dragonscave.space @mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca Doesn't seem fully accessible. Menu items do not read at all

@mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca @RaineyDay@dragonscave.space NVDA

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk I'm surprised you make it, some days lol

@SeveraSnape@mastodon.social Oh, you'd have to give me your idea of hot to make me cry, if that even worked lol

@kellylford@mastodon.social This looks really interesting. You do have so much information going on here that it would be great if you could put headings in like on IOS, either that or separate each section out into a different field so we can tab around. To get to a daily forecast currently takes ages. Mine is showing forcasts from a week ago as well, rather than starting with today, even when I select go to today. I'll be interested to see which models you've used and how accurate it turns out to be, it's not doing too badly on the iPhone.

@amir@dragonscave.space @serrebi@serrebiradio.com Such as?

@mewproj@fwoof.space OK, for the user, what are the differences? Anything RW does, and anything it does not do, that SM old does? Also, will it make me sign in to everything all over again, or can I plop it in the folder where the old one was and it pick up my settings?

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social Another thing, nobody has done that. Whatever people say about AI music, you've done something original that nobody else has, so you haven't taken anything from any artist, and you have created something that people would listen to, and that wouldn't have been created without AI. In fact, I think lots of people hearing that would get ideas for even more covers, maybe even new songs. I'm now thinking of a Temples style version of it, for instance.

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social Who! That's up there with Disturbed in terms of creative and brilliant covers! Literaully!

@shefoof @jakobrosin Yeah, sorry, I've kind of been on that thing all day!

@amir@dragonscave.space @serrebi@serrebiradio.com If you are going to reply to me in the first place, be a bit helpful, or keep out, Using Git frankly makes me want to do very bad things!

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social And that's obviously perfectly fine, I just hoped the comments would be vaguely interesting. When it comes down to it, you're making music you enjoy making and that people like, so who gives lol

@kellylford@mastodon.social Search Engines often miss little things like this, we really need an Applevis but for Windows. Yes, I know they have a Windows section, but I still think it would be better to have a whole website that does all of what Applevis does, but for Windows

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space I can't believe how much really good software we've had in the last few months. It is very much appreciated

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social I wouldn't normally comment on this, but my reaction is interesting, to me at least. Basically I like most of it The only thing I'm not quite sure about for my own tastes is the bass drum sound. However, when all the reverb comes in an it gets louder, it gets that compressed sound back that I don't like at allWhile I could change my audio to make that kind of music sound good, it would ruin older music and even modern dance music, both of which I preferI would like all the reverb and so on if it didn't feel so middle rangy and fatiguing, 80s music often did that brilliantly

@kellylford@mastodon.social I have never seen first letter navigation in pure text like that, so I had not, but it does help, a lot, thanks

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Wow! That's awesome!

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social There are exceptions to every rule, but generally, I agree with that

@SerenaTori @simon I think more and more of us are feeling the same, to be honest.

@bermudianbrit@mastodon.online Also, how to make kids want something more? ban it How to make them more vulnerable? Make them do things in secret so you are unable to help them when they need it. The world has gone fucking loopy!

@Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @moo@social.prometheus-enterprises.com Pity it's using the VIP sounds, some of them are really harsh. I much prefer the Mush pack sounds

@SapphireRose91@tweesecake.social You could have found something a bit more fun to hack into, really! Oh well, at least that means it's fixable, even if I haveto reset the bloody thing!

@SapphireRose91@tweesecake.social Make me!

@kellylford@mastodon.social I have never figured this out. I hate Github. Where on this page do you actually find the file you need to download? I have this with all Gits, I've never managedto figure it out. I find that site completely uninteligible to be honest, great for coders but awful for end users

@darrenhartland@caneandable.social I think I would like that a lot if you did, but isn't that the beauty of music, there are so many creative remixes and covers now
