RE: social.coop/@afewbugs/11700329

One of the conclusions I’ve come to from my years of software freelancing is that humans hate tradeoffs.

I don’t just mean that we hate deciding between options when none is clearly the best. I mean that people hate admitting that tradeoffs •exist•. We desperately want there to be a best option, a correct answer, a clear choice that will satisfy our egocentric need to believe we are objectively In The Right. 🧵

Main reason I'm going this route is that the sherpa-onnx library is supposed to be able to use my Rockchip NPU on my machine to speed things up.

I think I've gotten to the point where the default voices in espeak-ng aren't cutting it anymore. Gonna try cloning my own voice to speak back to me via sherpa-onnx and pocket TTS.

Cool side effect of running a battery powered cyberdeck is I can give a number for how much percentage bits of work take. e.g. compiling a big ish C++ project took like 20% of my battery

I enthusiastically support this company that claims to be making a real life version of the monster that chases you around the level in any of those janky-ass Playstation 1 lookin' indie horror games.

@johnefrancis Sucks that LLMs are making publishers to screw screen reader users over even harder.

Thankful to live in a city with a thriving music scene. We're not fancy, but it's plentiful.

I love Ottawa and all that but somehow it's always cloudy whenever there's some sort of sky phenomena. Kinda miffed I missed out on meteor shower viewing last night.

Gonna start calling monogamous people singlephiles as a slur. 🤪

Snap! Just learned about this new feature called `using` that lets you dispose of resources after you exit a block. Good alternative for needing a `try - finally` expression. Feels like Python in a good way.

@tychi Lately I'm only using this console based reader called TDSR so I've focused on reducing unnecessary output from commands. For graphical stuff I use Orca but I've considered making my own.

I love how my timeline is full of conflicting opinions on a lot of issues. It's fun seeing the similarities within divergence and the divergence within the similar.

My cat just came into my office and started meowing until I followed her to the bedroom where she told me it was time for a nap. Sorry skitty, I gotta merge two highly divergent branches of a codebase. 😿

@tychi Interesting. Have you tested it with screen readers?

@rebane2001 I feel like people (backend devs) really don't appreciate how hard it is to make layouts that work decently across every screen resolution and aspect ratio. 😅

@tychi What's the tldr of your approach? I'm targeting terminal screen readers in particular so I avoid needless rerenders or notifications.
