@jacket @jawsh The easiest way to record audio without the microphone OR speaker is via the accelerometers and gyroscopes. Speakers can be used as a fairly high quality microphone. Accelerometers and gyroscopes are more than good enough to record speech especially when the device is on a hard surface instead of in someone's hand. There was a paper on this many years ago where the authors successfully implemented it with a 100Hz polling limit and primitive AI to decode speech.

If there is one good thing to say about these LA riots it is that unlike the "Summer of Love" from 5 years ago, we don't have a bunch of celebrities and corporations virtue signaling about the event, which makes these riots easier to ignore.

It's time for the governor and legislature of California to declare independence from the United States. He should take back the California national guard and order them to seize federal buildings. Neither Joe nor Trump should have the authority to dictate their whims to all of of the US. Independent nations are more than capable of working together to defend one another against a common enemy and in fact that was the basis of the US's founding. Insurrection was the founding of the american way.

Trying to replace the remaining copyrighted placeholder sound effects with stock ones, but I can't find any that sound right. In Zelda and Zelda-like games, enemies die with an explosion sound effect, but it's not quite and explosion. It sounds somewhat softer, but I can't find any free to use sound effect that matches that.

@bonkmaykr this was never a secret. It was obvious to everyone. "No one's contributing!". Obviously gatekept. A hostile fork was inevitable. Eventually someone is going to hack in HDR or something, because they *need* it. What will the foundation do then? Probably not merge.

I really need to stop using placeholder assets from copyrighted games. I just know that one day, I will publish a game with some asset I forgot to remove and later get a DMCA from Nintendo.

The words "You don't get to own Program" should never, ever, ever be uttered by an organization supposedly dedicated to Free Software.

This is yet another gigantic mask-off moment for Red Hat Inc. and the GNOME foundation, it should be a wakeup call to every computer user and yet the corporate shot heard 'round the world is yet again ignored.

Please spread this. FreeDesktop wants you and the tools you rely on for your day-to-day zombified and then dead.

Can we come to the conclusion that Red Hat only want to have a system that they and only they can control?

Please don't let those people take the control of the desktop ecosystem. "Free to choose" has always been one of the killer features of GNU/Linux desktop and those people are trying to kill it.

If you've been on the fence about supporting GrapheneOS, now might be a good time to start.

We're also going to need to start heavily focusing on making our own devices going forward.

You only need a few federally planted instigators to start the entire cycle of biometric government IDs with conservatives clamoring for it.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck of a psyop and nobody will win.

It's so awesome that Bandwagon is getting attention alongside the tech world. Here's one from thenewstack.io/bringing-joy-ba

"My personal favorite at FediForum was Bandwagon, an app for musicians to share their work and get paid using Stripe or other payment providers."

😍 😍 😍 😍

This wouldn't happen without the Fediverse. The network effect is already strong, and it's growing daily.

British farmer speaks about about Bill Gates' agenda:

"I'm in receipt of a document which states that, by 2030, there is to be a 50% reduction in farmed animals, and by 2050, [a 100% reduction]. ... And guess who has signed up to that? [Keir] Starmer and Bill Gates."
