@dalias @cwebber i humbly submit that seven people in a basement room at HOPE running linux in a way that doesn't survive reboot on discontinued hardware is fun and important but does not broadly represent iphone users having the ability to run their own code on their devices. plus an apple or google or whoever emboldened by the slightest morsel of legislation would start lawsuits against jailbreakers big enough to make mig flash look like a parking ticket
@jalefkowit The investigations won't get very far without subpeonas that can be enforced.
@dcdeejay If they defy the investigation, that by itself makes news and creates momentum.
I have a feeling @bigzaphod and @cinebox may be the same person 🤔
@alisynthesis The "Atari Punk Console", originally called the "Stepped Tone Generator" by Forrest Mims, can make all kinds of interesting and strange sounds with just two knobs. I made one as a kid and had lots of fun with it until eventually wires got disconnected from the breadboard. It took me many years to figure out the right words to search for online before finding the schematic and building another one.
@80columns oh wow, I've never seen those. That's so fun!

Mahmoud es uno de los amigos de Kat en Gaza y se encarga de gestionar su campaña de donaciones (que se ha beneficiado de la bondad y la generosidad de los donantes). Desde hace muchos meses, Mahmoud ha visto con angustia como su sobrino Ahmed, sufre la misma misteriosa enfermedad que mató a la hermana de Ahmed. Si podemos reunir £330 más los doctores piensan que podrán salvarlo. ¡ Démosle una oportunidad de luchar!

@pencilears @WizardOfDocs Isn't that from a VERY old XKCD? https://xkcd.com/221/
@Canageek @WizardOfDocs Yes, which honestly points to vibe-coding, as I'm sure that reference is all over the internet.

@alisynthesis actually having one of each would be neat because you could compare how sweeping the filter on the monotron is kinda like squeezing the chubby lil cheeks of the otomatone...
@ranjit 🤣🤣🤣
@meena i too have run into this and am wondering when it'll be "and you need an app on one of the two approved phone platforms." feels like not long from now, they already refused to identify me in person from my government-issued photo ID and my face, at the teller window, insisting on 2FA over a phone.

@alisynthesis so the OG synths were expensive but there are cheap clones about.
The minimoog is so brilliantly designed in this regard. Very much an instrument. Very immediate. I think this is why it was so successful
& while not quite as accessible the pro one is kind of instant fun too
@junklight yeah, I think a bunch of the Behringer clones could be really cool for this purpose.

I would make a great tree because I mainly just hang out and murmur to myself
Groovy!
I'm at YUL waiting on my return flight to SFO (boarding in less than 30 minutes supposedly). I didn't bring a laptop with me.
I probably won't be able to update MacPorts' snac until Thursday? (I will be working two shifts tomorrow so probably not much spare time and still managing to rest).
Hopefully, otherwise it may not happen until Saturday or Sunday given everything else I have scheduled.
In unrelated news: year 2 of AMP Festival was awesome!
I finally submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.96 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/35738
It appears as if GitHub's Continuous Integration checks have passed OK!
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
Thanks to you, aleteoryx, Uilebheist, nowster, koru, daltux, pmjv and anyone else who may have contributed to this release whom I may have inadvertently overlooked!
Again, my apologies for the delay! Traveling without a laptop and then realizing I needed to rework MacPorts' Makefile.patch made this take a lot longer than I would customarily prefer as far as down streaming latency goes.
In unrelated news: Denver now has FOUR Wax Trax Records locations! Mile High DJ Supply's spot in Arvada has a turntable set up reminiscent of DJ Q*Bert's Octagon (facilitatin 4 skratch deejays jammin together with 8 turntables and 4 mixers feedin into one sound system). The Colorado Symphony's performance of compositions they commissioned by Joe Hisaishi was wonderful! Though, Hisaishi was apparently unable to travel to conduct. Here's hoping he will not have difficulties with future travel plans and will be conducting at the SF Symphony for "Hisaishi conducts Hisaishi" since I have a ticket to one of those three shows later this week.

Every time fucking website boy screws with the site design, I have to hack on my stupidcomments.css overrides to make it usable again. I dunno what normal people do, but I'd be awful mad if I were them.
@alisynthesis it takes a little bit of assembly, but a guitar pickup connected to an amplifier is really interesting even without any strings. you can put smartphones and whatever other electronics on it and explore what the electromagnetic waves sound like
@ahihi that's really fun. I've never tried that!

There are two proposed solutions I have seen. I do not claim that this is exhaustive, just only limited to the proposals that I have stumbled across.
FASP - Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider
The idea that mastodon has is to have a third-party service that does something like generate a link preview once and then share that to fediverse instances that need it. They have a whole spec they wrote up about these kinds of services that can be run to help out fediverse instances with different things like this, search, or discoverability. They call these FASPs - the repo with the spec is here.
I don’t yet know of any FASP that is live and running, so it is kind of a paper spec at the moment. I don’t do too much on the microblogging side of the fediverse though, so I very well could be wrong.
Federate link metadata and the post at the same time
This comes from an issue on PieFed’s repo. It is basically just an idea at this point, but it is a pretty basic one; have the originating instance fetch the link preview information and simply federate it out alongside the post itself.
UBUNTU TOUCH in 2026: it's really close!
