oooooooo… I should try it.

EDIT : for others, you might need to set up/enable terminal bell

Fighting Time Blindness one chime at a time.

I feel so seen 🥲, thank you so much. I’m happy it helped you, thank you for letting me know it’s useful to you.

I’ve had to up it to once every 10, and I’m considering lowering it to 5 or 6, and changing the case statement to be a division/modulus calcuation.

There’s various sound effects on https://www.myinstants.com/ , I’m using one of the airhorn sounds from there 🙈

Contributing is what you do to other people’s projects once you are done making your own stupid things, and feel confident you will improve rather than ruin other people’s stuff.

The problem is, things never feel like they are complete. There’s always more you can do.

I might do some contribs to lichess once I am done with my current stuff.

Shameless plug : I recently finished a longterm project :

There’s a few scattered vocals throughout the album, especially track 4 , Valisystem A. The vocals there take inspiration from the beach boys, as one of the creative leads for this album is a HUGE fan of BB/Brian Wilson.

Estradasphere also worked like that, most of the songs were instrumental, but there were some with vocals.

I wholeheartedly recommend both the whole album and the entire Estradasphere catalog.

I’m glad you liked the song :)

So… did you like the song?

hey, when you’re used to GUIs, the install finishes and you’re staring at a command line with no idea how to get started with the desktop, yeah it’s “the hard way”.

It’s not hard, but you have to know WTF is going on. It surprised me when I got sent to the command line after reboot, I lucked out because I changed DE while I was distro hopping so knew how to install from apt.

Debian, not a bad idea but where I live I have shared wireless only, so I’d have to install the wireless drivers manually using my phone to search for advice. Not even sure how that’d go. Easier if I had ethernet.

I installed through wireless. you just set it up as part of the installation process.

I love things like this, makes it so easy to learn when it’s a really simple to understand and explicit implementation of a high level feature (read input, pass to command)

This really sucks. I’ve had a very slow development on personal projects I wanted to do due to shitloads of management of personal issues and I am getting to the point where I can actually do some development during very specific hours.

My first project is nearing completion, and I wanted to move onto android for the next one as I want to use an arbitary tesselation as a music keyboard, so I basically need a tablet. I don’t want to use mac/ipad because they demand a pile of BS, and it looks like android/google are now doing the same fucking nonsense.

I feel trapped on android and phones in general because I need them for 2 factor authentication for work/banks/govt id , so this is really awful.

if you hate JS and think it’s dumb, but still have to use it, look into Eloquent Javascript (free) https://eloquentjavascript.net/ and the mozilla docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.

Eloquent JS is written by someone who also hates JS, but understands it very well.

I used them while I worked on the Microtonal Music Grid (still in progress)
