Audio Spectrum Analyzer in a Guitar Pedal - Arduino Audio Meter by ElectroSmash


Arduino Audio Meter is a new pedal from ElectroSmash. It's basically a 16x16 LED matrix in a guitar pedal form factor with an Arduino Uno inside, which means you can code your own effects.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill. And not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.

Life on this pale blue dot will continue to be resilient - whether or not we’re part of it. #Thanksgiving #science #history

We don’t need religion to recognize what a miracle it is that we arrived here, in this moment, at all. ✨ /2
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

We don’t even need religion to share and trust in life… 🍀🌹
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Agreed! Miracles are real with no human intervention. Religion is man made.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

we probly need something LIKE religion to help us remember to pay attention to that miracle. i think most of us don't take so much opportunity to sit back from the slog of life to pay attention to such miracles.

i would call science (a very organized social process) a tradition similar to religion in this respect.

religion does not need a god nor supernatural. just practices in the attention on what life IS.

in reply to Adam Conover

I’d like to get it out there that the onboarding experience changed a fair bit this year. We don’t force people to choose a server anymore, so getting started shouldn’t be any more complicated than on any other site.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron People _always_ have to choose a server. Federation — independent servers — is what you once said Mastodon was about. Herding people into the preferred servers doesn't give more choice.

Please think about how your thinking has shifted to the point that you call Mastodon a "site."



“The problem is, there’s a certain type of pedantry that has followed the internet through its various forms, especially in more technical channels, and it often creates a negative experience because it seems to be driven by ideology or disdain for people who don’t think the same way.” tedium.co/2023/11/21/mastodon-…
in reply to Taylor Lorenz

Curious to hear if others on here are experiencing what’s described in this piece. I enjoy most of the replies I get on here (though I never have time to respond to most of them, I like reading them)

I do think Mastodon could use more safety/audience limiting tools though, like what Ernie describes. Esp for larger-ish accounts on here who get a lot of replies, it would be nice to limit conversations on some posts. I would also love a real DM inbox on Mastodon! but that might be a pipe dream 😅

in reply to Taylor Lorenz

In case you haven't seen, we're experimenting with something in this area:

blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/11/…

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
this solution sounds convoluted. if it's worse here than other places, let's understand why that is first. let's group boosts and likes first. and let's start doing things the platforms can't. why can't we handle replies like lemmy/kbin do? reddit has the best mechanism for managing comments ever devised. instead of different apps to replicate different platforms, we can take the best from each an build lots of versions of Mastodon instead that try them out.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
"If they [convo improvement features] prove successful, we’ll be bringing them to the experience on the web as well."

As a middling new presence, I'm hoping the data supports keeping the first feature (Reply thoughtfully) but not the second (Hey, you're replying to an older post).

I was reminded once not to tag you into a thread, which was annoying but valid. But if I'm replying to an old post, its because I deliberately dug it up. So I don't need that extra step.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron I applaud some promising ideas here, but I get nervous when I see things like “we can prevent some awkward situations, such as explaining something to an expert in a given field.” While the intent is clear, how are you going to implement that. Who will be the expertise referees? Who decides when an actor’s credentials are even relevant or appropriate to a given context.
in reply to Shoq

@shoq You decide, from reading their bio. Maybe if you see they have a PhD in astrophysics you won't explain astrophysics to them.
@Shoq
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron I get the intent. But are you suggesting that some keywords or algo forces the replier to read the bio before their post is accepted? ExTwitter has been injecting some of those behaviorial intercepts now. But they seem far more annoying than effective at calming down the reply tonality.
in reply to Shoq

@shoq There is a prompt that appears when you reply to a stranger for the first time. You can see it in the screenshot in the blog post.
@Shoq
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron OiC, only the first time. I suppose that might help in some contexts, but in my experience, it’s just as likely to give the “reply-guy” more to work with when composing their snark or insult. Still, kudos for any and all experiments.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Assuming someone has enough brains to actually look at a profile.

Have you met the average American yet?

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron I just wanted to say that it was sheer chance that I wrote my thing and you announced something. I was really happy to see it, actually.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
One mistake I sometimes do is reply to a post in a thread, without realizing there's more posts in the thread, some of which already made the same point I was writing.

An interstitial alert that there's more to read is perhaps too clumsy, but some kind of improved visual feedback that I'm in the middle of a discussion thread, not at the end, would be welcome.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

I didn't expect to like this idea, but I do. I hope it comes to the clients I use.

If you really want to move the needle, make the reply button work differently when one is replying to a boosted toot: if my buddy Alice boosts a toot by Ben, and I hit reply from my stream where I see that it's an Alice-boosted toot, that reply should go to Alice, not Ben. I don't know who Ben is. Ben doesn't know who I am. Why should I be having a conversation with Ben, a complete stranger, when it was my friend Alice who thought whatever he wrote was interesting enough to promote to her stream? It's my friend Alice I should be having that conversation with.

Ben didn't start a conversation with me or ask my opinion. Alice, however, very much did something to start a conversation with me: by boosting Ben's toot she said to me, and all her other her followers, hey, all, check out this thing Ben wrote.

@Gargron
This proposal recalls a feature from Eudora (early-2000’s email MUI). The developers added a new dictionary which used the Bayesian message filter to gauge the “temperature” of a message. If it scored as too hot, the sender was shown a dialogue encouraging them to delay sending the message, giving them time to cool off and edit it.

We never had a chance to study how effective it was. I still think it’s interesting for its simplicity.

Links to the bugresearch I'm working on with respect to the avatar profile change issue that happend and is mentioned above.

Note: The following link is a reply in a post to gather in general info about bugs or unexpected behavior so over all this might look a little bit confusing as it is a work in progress to be able from there to created a comprehensive bug report.

I'm leaving these links here for the sake of documentation.

status relation with gimped forum

It's an independend page, created by the admin page in the moderation panel adding a new user. Unintentionally the admin email was used to do so.

Status:
You are mutual friends with gimped

not hidden nor notifictions set

learning question

Why is it that the following "reshares" are public, I'm able to pin them and show up on the respective profile stream of that forum page:
aus.social/@radicalxstitch/111…
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…

The forum page (permaculture) was created by this profile contrary to the "gimped" forum above which is an "independent" account. The tutorial forum page mentioned above also was created by this profile here but isn't followed by this profile.

in reply to utopiArte

Tried to publish a comment from the gimped forum as a comment here.
Apparently that comment didn't make it to this post.


Here is the content:

As of now, this forum page is set as:
Private Forum
[Experimental]Requires manual approval of contact requests.

Maybe that has something to do with it?

In the profile page there are "public" posts by a mastodon profile that figures as "Mutual friendship" in the contacts list, same as the friendica utopiarte profile whose posts figure as "private message" to this forum page.

this is sad.

I started out using ownCloud before moving to NextCloud. Sad to see any project being bought out like that.

Still, shows @nextcloud model is working.

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

Vielleicht kommen ein paar der OwnCloud-Entwickler nun zu NextCloud. Wäre gut, Erfahrungen zu bündeln und wieder an einem Strang gemeinsam zu ziehen.
Schade um OwnCloud. Aber umso mehr: viel Erfolg NextCloud!
