@lashman btw this happens when I click download, downloading https://git.lashman.live/lashman/whisper_voice/releases/download/v1.1.0/whisper-voice.exe says not found. I found the download myself though.
@jonathan859 ok, it should all be fixed now

Nice, but Linux?
I finally abandoned Windows in Jan 2017 after using NT since 1994 and DOS/Win from 1991.
Abandoned MS Office in 2012 after using Win Word since 2.0a.
Never used Internet Explorer or Outlook except to test them.
Mainly Mosaic (1994) -> Netscape -> Firefox. -

@lashman
I used Aldus Photostyle, Adobe Photoshop and PaintShop Pro (versions 4 to 8). Also lesser packages.
I used GIMP on Windows. You need to change default theme, dock, tool settings. Now The GIMP on Linux. A bit of a learning curve, but GIMP is actually easier to use than Photoshop or PSP7 and more powerful than PSP. Had to convert PSP7 images to Photoshop in PSP7 to import to The GIMP.
I do have a no longer used XP & 10 laptops & 7 PC. Also all 3 on VMs, not used. Cloned XP laptop to VM. -
@menelion ok, i *think* it's fixed now, or at least i hope it is 🤞
@lashman Yepp, now I can at least see the app inside a frame.

Core Cooldown v0.2.0 is out - and it's still completely free. This update brings the whole UI up to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA accessibility.
7:1 contrast, 44px hit areas, full keyboard nav, WAI-ARIA 1.2 screen reader support, Windows High Contrast, and reduced-motion support. 42 fixes across 18 components.
A break timer meant to prevent RSI should work for everyone. Portable, no installer, CC0 public domain.

For instance, are there missing features when you straight imported the file into GIMP? If so, we can look into adding support for them.

@CmykStudent @lashman
There seems to be different PSP formats. Earlier The Gimp had a plug-in and later maybe built in. Certainly my PSP7 files from XP wouldn't import at all, on Windows XP or on Linux Mint.
No issue saving in PS format from PSP7 on XP and opening that in The Gimp. Nothing was lost.
Text editing and layers is SO much better on The Gimp.
I imagine the last time I had to go back and convert was maybe 2018 or so for some files missed in 2016.
No PSP7 on Win7 or Win10. -

Whisper Voice also got a big accessibility update! The whole UI now meets WCAG 2.2 Level AAA - 7:1+ contrast, full keyboard nav, screen reader roles on every component, reduced motion support, and I/O marks on toggles so nothing relies on color alone.
Still free, still portable, still completely local. Your voice never leaves your machine.

Full keyboard nav, screen reader support, native dialog modals, high contrast and reduced motion support. All color pairs across 165+ templates auto-validated for AAA contrast.
The Word docs it generates are also more accessible - tagged table headers, heading structure, document metadata.

@lashman Oh thanks, I was about to feedback that accessibility was kinda problematic when I tested it. Will try again.

perché fai già il passo a «schierarsi dalla parte di qualcuno»? Il giudizio su un conflitto si può valutare anche senza prendere parti (anzi).
> E se si vuole fare la genesi dei conflitti siamo così sicuri che la narrazione aggredito/aggressore possa realmente reggere?
In genere sÃ. Esitono casi piú e casi meno netti, ma in genere è abbastanza chiaro.
> Chi è l'aggredito e chi è l'aggressore tra Iran e Israele
Israele.

@d10c4n3 senza escludere che le riforme sulla architettura giudiziaria possano essere indispensabili, non possiamo escludere nemmeno che sia sufficiente il combinato disposto delle leggi ordinarie e dei dispositivi di bilancio necessari per ottenere una giustizia più efficiente, più digitalizzata, più finanziata, meno politicizzata e più giusta (ad esempio abolendo reati criminogeni legati al consumo ricreativo di cannabis, ai rave party, alle migrazioni irregolari o alle querele temerarie).

@oblomov gli stati servono a fare gli interessi delle classi dominanti su di un dato territorio. Gli interessi tra chi domina diversi territori sono contrastanti e negli ultimi anni abbiamo visto il ritorno a una concezione territorialista dei conflitti con una conquista diretta del suolo. Perché uno dovrebbe schierarsi con un aspirante dominatore o con un altro aspirante tale? E se si vuole fare la genesi dei conflitti siamo così sicuri che la narrazione aggredito/aggressore possa realmente reggere? Chi è l'aggredito e chi è l'aggressore tra Iran e Israele, e magari la Turchia, stati che hanno entrambi una forte spinta espansionista sugli stessi territori? @d10c4n3 @andre123

@nwalfield @fesshole actually no. An irrational number whose expansion includes all possible integers as subsequence is called a normal number, not all irrational numbers are normal; in fact, not even all transcendental numbers are normal. In fact (bis), pi and e are only CONJECTURED to be normal. No proof of their normality has ever been given.

@carnage4life This is why tech workers need more unions. Enshittification is here, and if we don't act fast it will eat our jobs right along-side how it has eaten the internet.

Studiate sempre tutte le materie anche quelle che non servono a niente mi raccomando! Ahaha scherzo studiare è importante ciao prof

Every AI power user I know in big tech is stressed about how the technology will impact tech jobs. If people are 2x - 10x more productive with AI or can now do work outside their core skills ( PMs creating designs or designers writing code) how do job roles and the workforce change?
Will these changes be net positive or negative?
