I posted this some time ago, but now that I have a few blind friends who are involved in programming, and especially the musical side of things, I figured I would try again. To summarise. I want to see if it is possible to make pre-electric recordings sound like early electric ones. So one from 1903 might sound like it came from 1930. I doubt we could go any higher than the 1940's, if that, given the constraints of acoustic recording, but it would still be a huge improvement in sound. Perhaps, with the right software, some frequences can be restored. The trouble is that there are only a few such programs and all are inaccessible with screen readers. I explain things more fully at the below link. Normally, this is a subreddit about opera recordings and singers from the 1950's and earlier, so if you have no clue about this but like opera, feel free to join us in general.

The last year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pivot away from proprietary/american tech, for a mix of reasons. I’m increasingly worried about #privacy, data collection, data sovereignity, that kind of things. Not wanting to have more or less my entire life stored on servers inside american privacy and data laws jurisdiction. Wanting to support #european tech. And, where possible, a preference for open source #foss #floss #libre software. I’ve been quite in the «apple fanboy» category for the last 20+ years, and deeply buried in the whole iCloud ecosystem. Partly because of Apple’s traditional stance on privacy, and the whole «if a service is free, you’re the product» thing. I used to look forward to #apple event keynotes like others do to football matches. The last handful of iterations of #macOS, #iOS, macs and iPhones has sparked steadily decreasing amounts of enthusiasm from me though. Anyway, the last year has seen me replace most iCloud services with @protonprivacy , my macbook pro with a @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro running #linux, and my iPhone with a #Fairphone 6 running @murena /e/OS. And a patchwork of other services and apps to replace what I used to have. Here's a summary, and some questions to others. 1/n

I'm happy with how February starts. It's a slow start, sure, but still way better than how awful January was. I hope to be able to show new things by the end of the month if everything goes well! 🤞💪

LIVE AT 6 PM Central: Testing Xcode 26.3's AI agents with a real project

Apple released Xcode 26.3 today with AI agent features that supposedly make development faster. I'm building a complete RSS reader app from scratch to see if it's real or just hype.

If you've been wondering whether Xcode's AI features are worth it, join me and find out.

@jbz yeah, #pwned them!

• Personally, I'd say we need to first raise fundamental #TechLiteracy before we can even think about teaching #Zoomers anything further.

• And I don't mean them to build their own OS, but merely able to use a #Keyboard, #Mouse and like non- #Windows / #macOS / #iOS / #Android OS at all…
