@bscross32 TY! It seems arch linux doesn't have "speakup" in their package manager. Must have misunderstood something somewhere.
I still haven't had luck getting fenrir to work. Could it be due to me using wayland as the "top level" window manager instead of the default linux terminal emulator? 😅 It starts, and it seems to capture Fenrir+H, but it's not reading my terminals.
#linux #accessibility question: How the heck do I actually use `espeakup`? I have it running as a system service but I'm not sure how to make it do anything. e.g. I don't hear anything when it starts and my terminals aren't reacting any different. The man page is very sparse without any guide on how I'm supposed to actually use it.

I am at the combination goose/factory.
@TheQuinbox In @agregore PRobably because it's electron based and they're assuming I'm a bot or scraper 🤷
Lol, gnu.org just blanket blocks my web browser from loading anything with a 403 Frobidden error. 🤷

Types cript. 🐸
@TheQuinbox TBH I like the types, its the constant breaking and weird build issues that annoy me. I updated a dependency and suddenly TSC can't detect Duplex streams properly anymore :P
TypeScript.😭
For some reason weird shit only happens when I'm in a rush. 🤪
My flesh weeps for more sleep yet denies itself its own desires.
re: Snake feeding
@genmaicha It's just your bog standard cornsnake. 😅 I think in this case the behavior is a result of the previous owner only feeding it in the terrarium which trained it to consider anything entering as food. I've been feeding it in a separate chamber which has helped a bit but the behavior is pretty ingrained at this point.
Snake feeding, death
@soapone Unfortunate. 🫂 The person that had my corn snake before me actually lost her from a similar circumstance. She randomly appeared again after 4 months. They had moved on and gotten a new snake in that time. Probably hid in the vents the whole time and chilled. They're pretty resilient creatures overall.
Snake feeding, death
@soapone Yeah I kinda like how dumb they are. It's a fun contrast with how violent people expect them to be. I'm lucky my corn snake is a good eater, my ball python is a lot more finnicky. Sometimes it'll nom a bit and then shrug and go look for something else to do. 🤷 I find most predators I've encountered are pretty dumb outside of going for the kill. E.g. sharks.
Snake feeding, death
@soapone Oh gosh no. I get them frozen. They get put down by gas so they don't suffer. Just kinda fall asleep. I find live feeding to be a bit cruel. It's also dangerous to the snake since rats have teeth and claws (accounting for that requires even more cruelty).
Taught my mother how to do the six-seven motion and gave her instructions to use it next time she's around her friends kids.
@suricrasia I deleted 17k lines today. 🤤🤤🤤
Snake feeding
My corn snake decided she wanted to have a go at eating my hand again when I was taking her out to feed. I respect the hubris. She got a nice rat to eat once she calmed down enough to pry off of my finger and seemed satisfied with her clean terrarium.
Love this author's use of switching between second to first person to represent dissasociation.
@TheQuinbox Yeah 😅 I miss C and Rust where I can pass things by value.
