i've had many cases where our fiber modem says that we should have internet and we don't

this is the first time i've seen it say we shouldn't and we do

@atax1a by which i mean, if i wanted something that sounds like dectalk and needs arcane controls to make it sound different, i already have that

i'm looking for other options newer/better than dectalk and it looks like there's just no such thing without getting into sampled or AI territory

@atax1a sounds not too dissimilar to dectalk (and from what i remember it sounding like, they're probably using dectalk as a starting point)

difference is i don't think there's a way to get macintalk on a modern windows computer without emulating a whole macintosh is there? i already have a command line dectalk so this doesn't help much

@atax1a sounds not any better than dectalk then, which is much more customizable with control codes

@atax1a is there any way to customise the voices or are you stuck with that selection

@The4thCircle surprise, you are a minority! especially among indie game devs and modders!

loving all the link rot generated by people who trusted cdn.discordapp.com as file storage

i love to have a large metal spike explosively shoved through my human brain

catastrophizing again with not a single soul around me to calm me down

so yes i will continue to call the X (Formerly Twitter) website X (Formerly Twitter) since that is X (Formerly Twitter)'s official title

no it's not discord's fault. this is "X (Formerly Twitter)"'s actual opengraph metadata. they always called themselves "X (Formerly Twitter)", it wasn't others who came up with it out of spite.

"stop calling it twitter or formerly twitter we get it call it x and move on" friend their own embed cards still call it twitter

re: x; twitter; elon musk 

@lmorchard it wasn't other people doing it. the website's own embed card called it "X (Formerly Twitter)".

still don't understand what is the social point, what you are trying to communicate, by only liking a post on which someone has asked a question and asked for boosts on

"hey how do i do xyz?" "haha great post man"

this is almost worse than people liking my suicidal posts

wouldn't it be great if fediverse software knew when to fetch all the parts of a remote thread like say if you're trying to look at it in your local instance i mean it knows enough that it's part of a thread to change a measly reply icon into two arrows instead of one surely it should be np-complete to be able to know to fetch the rest of that thread too so you don't have to go chasing it down in another domain
