turns out in professional opera, no one worth taking seriously uses the term "contralto". My teacher, a pro soprano, won't touch it. We agree my speaking voice rests at E3. we have identified my 1st passaggio as C4 and 2nd passaggio as A4. I have demonstrated great coloratura facility and have a bright timbre. Thinking I had her cornered, I said, that is not a mezzo. Which leaves only one possibility....
yes, she says in all seriousness, it is too early to tell but you may be a soprano
Just donated to the @eff again. I've been a member since 2010 and fucking proud of it!
Anybody have more info on the #Alaska Senate race and the 2nd Dan Sullivan? I'm seeing news coverage complaining that Trump wants to nullify a possible Dem win, but AFAICT he has a point.
In Illinois, we've seen establishment Dems pull this shit in primaries many times. Run a fake candidate with a similar name to your opponent in races with more than two options available. Now Dems can do this in the general thanks to #RankedChoiceVoting AND also taint that structural challenge to their power.
@wjmaggos But #RankedChoiceVoting is why it won’t work. As long as more people vote for the right Sullivan than for the wrong one, #RCV will save those votes for him. Peltola can’t win without a majority.
I was seeing a woman for a few months and all was well. She had my sisters first name which I could just about deal with but binned her off when I found out her Brother had my first name as well and I couldn't deal with it in the bedroom for some reason. Sorry about that.
Home to supper and to bed, where to my trouble I find my wife begin to talk of her being alone all day, which is nothing but her lack of something to do, for while she was busy she never, or seldom, complained.
@stufromoz @akent @futzle @allrite @Unixbigot @franksting @tuckerm first was about as wrong as possible …

Read something the other day that kinda stuck with me:
“People won’t swim in a pool with a corpse in it but most people do wanna swim in the ocean that definitely has corpses in it. So there is a water to corpse ratio that makes it acceptable”

I just saw this Spooky Ganges YouTube video. There was a drought, & human skeletons appeared.
It reminded me of the time I was on a boat in the Ganges in Varanasi... and dipped fingers in the river.😬

Day 23 🐢 #spookylakemonth #spookylakes

One day, game developers will not turn their final boss into an unfun damage sponge. Sadly, today was not that day. Dracula's demon form was an ungodly damage sponge, easily felt like it had at least four times the HP/def of the other bosses. All the other bosses and challenges I could handle just fine, but Dracula's demon form was just horrid.
I really despise damage sponges in gaming.
I had to use the custom settings to increase my damage just to get through that slog. Left a really shitty taste in my mouth.
Regardless, I've got all achievements (except the 4-hour speedrun one), and 100% completion.
I just wish it hadn't ended on such a sour note.
Every scanlime video in order
Edited video blogs about hardware projects, reverse engineering, and cats
@giflian yeah gas too. One good burner, one weak one, two which could only burn food 😜
@aphyr with mine, whichever one I wanted to use that day wasn’t going to ignite. There were also no indicator lights

Fediverse
Thinking of opensourcing my daily-driver fediverse app. What are your thoughts on running it through an AI security tool before doing so?
For about a year as a hobby I’ve been writing an app that scratches several itches that I’ve had with the fediverse (multiple accounts at once, supporting both microblog- and threaded-style content, synthetic/hybrid feeds, etc.) and for the past month or so have been using it exclusively on the desktop and about 50% of the time on mobile (Voyager is my main mobile client and source of inspiration here). I’d like to open source the whole thing. But the code is mine, therefore buggy and bad. Normally I’d not worry too much about that, but in the age of LLM attacks I don’t want to contribute more security vulnerabilities to the world. Should I use an LLM security tool to analyze my code and point out security issues so I can patch them before releasing the code? If so that would more or less be the only AI contribution. I’m a practical-minded person and use AI tools at work so it doesn’t bother me, but I know lots of people here have strong (and often helpful) opinions on the matter.

@octothorpe The campfire & accessories are amazingly cool. I'm making those a priority, leatherworking & cooking are game-changers. I only got the last few upgrades from the PTR merchant, I need to find them in-game.
@mdhughes I love the campfire concept! People just plop down and chill awhile, usually next to taxis. It’s like an aeroport lounge!
@hbons Two blank profiles with those names? Pretty suspicious.
well it sure isn’t perfect but it’s not terrible and i definitely made mistakes so there’s lots more room for improvement
@moira Wow! So beautiful 🤩
Any idea why an artist would be listed twice in an Android media player?
Some of the ones I've tried don't list it twice (Musicolet, Auxio, VLC) and some of them do (Gramophone, Fossify). It's always the same albums listed in each group, too.
I double-checked the metadata using both the Apple Music app on my MacBook and Picard, And all of the tracks have the same track/album artist without any extraneous characters.
@reillypascal seems appropriate that it's Autechre somehow. They probably planned this glitch to mind fuck us 🤣
Wooden delivery: "They've killed that man that was in this movie"
Wooden delivery: "They killed him. That's probably sad or something. Never mind."
Wooden delivery: "Don't go that way because danger or something."
Seriously! The people who just ripped apart and ate a human are now rendered immobile by a woman's act of defiance.
None of this makes sense!
