Eggrave che er sindaco de Bolognia ce accusa de nun sapé gestì l'ordine pubblico
Rivendico che le nostre centurie sò bravissime a spaccà la faccia a studenti e pacifisti e ad igniorà totarmente er degrado assoluto de le città
È tutto morto funzionale a la narazzione politica 😉

@usul @mttaggart I have used Firefox as my primary browser (with the only exceptions being testing on others) since the very earliest releases. My name was in the NYTimes Firefox 1.0 ad (alongside a few hundred other folks). I am absolutely loyal to Firefox, and I have been distressed by the neglect Mozilla has shown toward Firefox.

@swelljoe @mttaggart wait until chrome décides your website is not worth visiting. Mozilla doesn't do it's best, but they still slightly counter balance google.

Good morning Fedi friends!
I set up my alarm at 6:20am - as usual - to have at least an hour to myself before the little one wakes up. Yes, even on a Sunday.
I looked up videos about how to flash LineageOS on my Nexus 7 (2012)... And discovered a charming tutorial about TWRP recovery loader... done by a kid - I'm guessing in his early teens - some 8 years ago. The kids are alright!
If my little one started making videos about jailbreaking devices / installing custom ROMs 10 years from now, I would be so proud ☺️
Anyway, wishing you all a great day!

@andypiper amazing! congrats Andy. Downloading the pics so I can read your interview. And thanks for the heads-up about my Fedi photo - it makes me so happy to see it in use :)

I agree in principle.That said, Marin has no skin in the game anymore, so this is no badass opinion, it's a cheap one.
I hate to say this with the risk to be called Trumpian by people who barely get the point, but we are in this situation due to Biden not supporting Ukraine fully from the beginning.
Wars like these historically either escalate quickly, something Russia likely is not finding any support to do, from China mostly, or they keep eating up the populations irreparably

DIY Polyphonic Synth Sings in 8-Part Harmony
There’s just something about an analog synthesizer. You’d think that for electronic music, digital sampling would have totally taken over by now, but that’s really not true. The world of analog synths is alive and well, and [Polykit] has a new, open-source polyphonic synthesizer to add to the ever-growing chorus of electronic instruments.
The analog part is thanks to the eight identical voice cards that plug into the machine’s mainboard: each one has a voltage controlled oscillator to generate tones, an envelope generator, multiple voltage-controlled amplifiers, and even a pole mixing filter which is also, yes, voltage controlled. Each voice card outputs stereo, and yes, there are controllable mixing circuits for left and right output.
All that voltage control means a lot of lines from digital-to-analog converters (DACs), because while this is an analog synth, it does have a MIDI interface, and that means that a microcontroller needs to be able to speak voltage. In this case, the brains are an ATmega2560. Instead of stacking the board with enough expensive DACs to interpret the MCU’s digital signals, [Polykit] is instead is using some clever tricks to get more work out of the one DAC he has. Some things get tied together on all eight voices, like the envelope parameters; other values are run through a demultiplexer to make the most possible use of the analog lines available. Of course that necessitates some latching circuitry to hold the demuxed values on those lines, but it’s still cheaper than multiple high-quality DACs.
It’s a well-thought out bit of kit, down to the control panel and acrylic case, and the writeup is worth reading to get the full picture. The voice cards, main board and control board all have their own GitHub repositories you can find at the bottom of the main page. If you’re into video, [Polykit] has a whole series on this project you might want to check out on Makertube; we’ve embedded the first one below.
If you want to get your toes wet in the wonderful world of synthesizers, this library of seventy synths is an amazing place to start, because it has great simple projects.
Thanks to [Polykit] for the tip!
