@hellomiakoda Happy I could help! Would be interesting to know what was changing your settings out from under you, but at least you've got something that works now!

@hellomiakoda Sounds like a sampling rate mismatch somewhere in your audio chain? I've had Ardour do this to exported audio before. Usually rebooting fixes it. Wish I could give you more info, but that at least might help you find a place to start.

@hellomiakoda I get super nostalgic sometimes for the small computer shop that used to be near where I grew up. Sold shareware on floppy disks with labels that appeared to have been printed on a consumer grade inkjet printer, $4 each. Got most of my games that way when I was kid with no Internet connection, including Epic Pinball.

@cwebber The factory is inside the goose.

@hellomiakoda I'd bet it's for retailers/businesses where the music is just there to fill the silence.

@promovicz @laurenshof Really trying hard not to say anything too spicy after reading that exchange. Suffice it to say, I strongly agree with @cwebber

@hellomiakoda TBH, without that kind of caring, we create a world where "might makes right" and "the powerful do what they will and the powerless suffer what they must." No caring means no solidarity and no collective power. So it's not only sociopathic to not care, but it's worse for everyone.

@whitequark @foone Years ago I saw people try to address this problem by attaching a pen to the side of the printhead with a rubber band, if that's any help.

@hellomiakoda Howdy from tilde.town

Nice day for a protest.

Stay safe out there, everyone.

@hellomiakoda I think it would be helpful if we barred people from owning media empires, at the very least.

@hellomiakoda Yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully it never comes to that.

@hellomiakoda Eichmann in Jerusalem feels very relevant to the current state of the US in a way that the simplistic narrative taught in our schools did not.

@hellomiakoda Only thing I can see is his complete lack of charisma. That could be a *huge* problem for him.

@hellomiakoda IMO, JD will be worse. He name-dropped Curtis Yarvin during the campaign. What we are seeing now is the result of years of effort from a dedicated cadre of fascists/"neo-reactionaries"/"neo-monarchists."

@hellomiakoda Thanks!

I took the photo with my phone, then cropped it to a 1:1 ratio and ran it through this ImageMagick command:
convert in.jpg -resize 640x480 -average -ordered-dither o8x8,6 -colors 4 out.png

Got a little more time on the wheel today.

@hellomiakoda Oof. Should've dug a little before I recommended. Well, FWIW it looks like the end result of Alvey's efforts was this Crowdsupply campaign: https://www.crowdsupply.com/onju/onju-voice

@hellomiakoda Maybe https://hackaday.com/2023/07/23/google-nest-mini-gutted-and-rebuilt-to-run-custom-agents/ ?

@hellomiakoda Ah, I see. Well, happy birthday then. 🙃 🙃 🙃
