I am a fully blind programming enthusiast, I begun my programming career with bgt, a scripting language.
Now, I know #c, #c#, #rust, #python and probably others, always looking forward to learning new things.
I’m passionate about #linux, #foss, #accessibility, #screenreaders, #technology, also I’m full on with the idea of the #fediverse.
I’m one of the founders of #odilia screenreader, you can find more details in my profile metadata
Also, you can hit me up on #matrix if you want.
@ObviouslyNotBanana @grue it’s much better now than when people were using jack incantations and trying to figure a whole host of stuff out, which in most cases was hardware specific and very esoteric, needless to speak of people chasing lowlatency setups, in so many weird directions that afew people actually came up with kernel patches to apparently make the whole thing have 0 xruns. Yeah, absolutely weird, better that this doesn’t happen anymore hopefully
@Chais do games actually output 5.1 nowadays? Most of those I know use libraries like steamaudio, which simulates it using in-app hrtf, mixing the signal on its own
@n3cr0 ahh, I guess that’s more or less normal hrtf, which any respectable audiogame can replicate
@TheSaigoneer darn it, I’m so curious now, probably I’ll be disappointed because the distro doesn’t have orca on the install medium again, or something like that, but A, worth a try I guess. But yeah, gentoo first
@TheSaigoneer I think this doesn’t work with wayland, does it?
@noodlejetski conduit, the matrix server? that’s definitely weird
@superguy windows or linux?
@ReverseModule @Excrubulent is it only me, or the video has no sound at all?
@Chee_Koala @SleepyWheel ubuntu studio is not a DAW, it’s a music producer focused ubuntu flavour. If you want an open DAW, did you try zrythm?
@Silejonu @Natal @pete_the_cat then, how is it that usb keys and drives work with both windows and linux, once they have been formatted? Is there a different filesystem involved in that case? I, for one, didn’t have issues writing on a USB drive, is that an uncommon scenario?
@XenoStare @ZariZari this doesn’t make us evil, nor does it make valve good, they did it because they didn’t want to pay for windows licenses for all the steam decks they produce, simple as that, we’re collateral benefit. Not using entirely free software isn’t evil. Every moment we accuse one another of not being supporting enough, idealistic enough, etc, gives the monopolies an advantage because we’re squabeling pointlessly. This is what the pollitical left wing should understand as well.
@XenoStare @ZariZari yes, but some convenience is also good. In this case, being able to play windows games, as most of them are released for that platform, on linux without messing a lot with vanilla wine is a godsend. For now, it’s about getting people, game studios, etc, to notice us, even if only through the lense of the steamdeck verified badge. It’s only temporary I hope, but even if not, philosophi aside for a moment, it’s good that we can have more enjoyment than before.
@Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever @V0lD personally, I use systemd timers, in combination with the btrfs tooling to backup certain snapshots of my filesystem, which include game saves. I can’t use steam because it’s entirely screenreader inaccessible, so I play stuff with retroarch and other emulators, plus the occasional audiogame in wine, and very rarely, native ones, those are so rare.
@HubertManne @leo @amanneedsamaid OK then, but saying that, rather than just saying don’t use privacy badger would have made a lot of difference. I use UBlock origin, privacy pass for hcaptcha stuff, privacy badger, jshelter from time to time, plus I also use a vpn when I have to, because honestly I don’t really like using them, their apps feel clunky, etc. So yeah, it’s absolutely fine to have different solutions to the same problem installed, that incourages healthy competition
@amanneedsamaid @leo why? is it something made by them? If so, yeah, understandable
@GustavoM @simple hmm, interesting. How do I make pacman work on ubuntu? I mean, just because it’s technically possible, doesn’t mean it’s at all easy to do, in any stretch of the imagination
