Well, future LLMs will take these comments and help them out some day.

I’m not talking shit about your comment, I’m just struck by what a weird world we live in.

Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

I hope it pans out!

The last time I heard about someone being excited about new mechanics/paradigms in gaming it was Ken Levine. And then he disappeared for a decade. “narrative Legos” were the big idea.

He’s back, with Judas. We’ll see if he managed to invent new mechanics or not.

In the case of Judas tho, I’ll just be happy if it’s a good story and spectacle driven game like Bioshock Infinite.

Preview is an app on macOS for viewing and editing images and PDFs.

According to the Audacity manual it supports MP3. But you need to install additional software for AAC (M4A).

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/importing_audio.html

So it’s strange that you are struggling with this. It seems something more is going on here…

Also, just in case it was confusing: M4A is just a file extension used to indicate AAC audio in an MP4 container.

That’s a bummer that AudioTimeliner is struggling with MP3 files. Small independent apps like this usually depend on outside libraries to play back audio. And looking at the version history, it looks like the author has had to make multiple updates to fix playback support over the years.

I see that AudioTimeliner is niche software that has been around for about 22 years, and it’s cross platform. It seems normal to me that it would be picky. Audacity on the other hand, something weird is going on.

I work in higher education, so I understand how relying on niche software like AudioTimeliner goes. I’m sympathetic.

But there is a lack of precision in what you are describing, and your symptoms are directly counter to the Audacity documentation.

Some systems define a slug as the part of a URL that identifies a page in human-readable keywords. It is usually the end part of the URL (specifically of the path / pathinfo part), which can be interpreted as the name of the resource, similar to the basename in a filename or the title of a page. The name is based on the use of the word slug in the news media to indicate a short name given to an article for internal use.

I’ve heard of everything listed in the article besides the focus of the article.

Both of those sound like recycled mechanics.

Preview does not play MP3 or AAC.

And what’s a program that’s not accepting of MP3 files that generally works with audio?

You seem to be a bit confused.

For point one: Not everyone is into boosting or retweeting. Some actually find it a bit obnoxious.

Some people I might enjoy finding to follow, friends, community members, etc, might not be ones to post anything boost worthy.

For the other points, I assume these are just artifacts of Mastodon’s federated nature? Not sure exactly.

These sorts of platforms are not designed like a Facebook profile.

Sounds like something only a small number of devs would implement. Unless they are confident they can fuck with the memory space of all games without issues. I expect a PS5 game is a bit more complicated than a saved state on an SNES.

Right?

Sonic and his weird friends

Yeah, I hear that’s a thing now. People these days.

The thing I think is left out is that it usually eliminates all of the casual cheaters. For many games this is a massive change in the feel and culture of the online space in the game.

But yeah, no matter what, even when the games are never on our hardware and become just video streams sold to us by the hour, cheating tools will always exist. Even if it’s just a bit of tape on your monitor.

Very cool. Seems like it has all the things many modern libraries should pivot to offering where possible.

If other federated services giant dominance, they will go the same route. And due to the same pressures. (Spam, bad actors, misbehaving servers, etc)

We already see defederation drama.

Oh, so it does nothing, and it’s a conspiracy to rootkit your computer so they can do other things(?). I see.

“Solves nothing” is a stretch. These companies don’t still apply anti-cheat because it does nothing.

Agreed on both points.

The traditionally attractive factor is another tell with AI generated imagery. One of many that is fading as new models are built.

“Marked as suspected duplicate, needs more details.”

Recency bias. But I think it’s understandable.
