Re letzter Boost (den ich nicht zitieren darf):
Und sowas am Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Das BGH möchte mir sagen, da die Klinik privatisiert ist und einem Privaten nicht zugemutet werden kann, eine blinde Person zu betreuen, bekommt die Klägerin keine ReHa? Wäre die Klinik verstaatlicht aber schon? Darf ich das so verstehen? Ich glaube, ich lebe im falschen Film.

@jonathan859@someplace.social @matt@toot.cafe Honestly, I kinda fear the day the big companies decide to cut the subscription-based models entirely. They already know they're financially absolutely not worth it, API brings them so much more money. I believe they'll either cut down on the usage plans more and more or just remove subscription-based models entirely, at which point individuals like us will be back at ground zero anyway.
New rabbit version guys: version 0.2.0 brings support for Surge XT installation/updating on standard installations, a more detailed progress view with per-package updates and support for fixing the keymap after updating OSARA so that ReaPack actions stay registered without having to synchronize / re-install everything. Enjoy! https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/releases/latest/

@matt@toot.cafe For me personally, my benefit doesn't really outclass the fact that other people right now, and we in the long-run will most likely suffer because of this absurd growth and excessive waste of power, because AI is built on quantity, not quality. I don't think its going away, and I think we will have to get used to it, I just wished it was built more slowly and more thoughtful than it is right now.
In einer Stunde geht es in Richtung Sight City. Ich bin schon etwas aufgeregt ;). Am Freitag bin ich dort auch in einer Podiumsdiskussion zum Thema Bedeutung von KI im Gaming-Kontext zu sehen/hören, falls jemand Interesse und Zeit mitbringt.
New RABBIT version is out, with some more Mac fixes, but this time also a Windows on ARM fix. In addition to that, the updater should work more reliably from now on, providing you with the option to upgrade on RABBIT launch via a dedicated pop-up.
Download links to every platform and architecture can be found on the project's page: https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/

@menelion@dragonscave.space @matt@toot.cafe I wish there would have been a way to keep all of this behind closed doors and just develop it in a secure environment to a point where it is really ready to be shipped and used world-wide without companies having to pump money into it like there is no tomorrow because they fear they're going to be left in the dust if they don't. It feels like development becomes more reckless rather than precise.
Hey blind browser modders, is there actually an accessible way of using Tampermonkey? Last time I checked the extension to load/install/whatever scripts was really annoying to use. Is there a better extension that does accessibility better? Its annoying to develop js scripts to improve website accessibility in an extension that itself isn't quite accessible.
ReaLackey 0.3.0 is out, here are some highlights:
Support for reasoning on anthropic (opt-in) and OLLama models that support it, lower prompt usage, particularly useful to free tier users at the cost of increasing the amount of turns necessary to start working, video clip support, listen to audio support for OLLama models that support it (opt-in), prompt presets, quick access to chat messages, Mac OS universal builds and notarization.
Download it from here: https://github.com/Timtam/ReaLackey/releases/tag/v0.3.0

@matt@toot.cafe Well, regarding the environmental claims, we do have some research material nowadays that, in my eyes, is pretty reliable. https://collections.unu.edu/eserv/UNU:10647/UNU-INWEH-Report-The_Env_Cost_of_AI-2026.pdf
Obviously it isn't as easy, it is an ethical discussion after all. I still don't think that the solution to a systematic problem that is literally human-made is to have everyone and nature pay for it. If we were to fix the impact somehow, that'd be a different story.

@rami@chaos.social Falls trotzdem Interesse besteht, schau gern mal bei lea-holstein.de vorbei.
I just launched a batteries-included project of beets, the phenominal music manager for nerds. While beets is usually a highly sophisticated tool which needs to be installed into your Python environment via pip, in addition to setting up ffmpeg/gstreamer yourself, indie-beets delivers all of that in a unzip and launch kind of way. I'm planning to release new versions as beets updates too. Go here for easy access: https://github.com/Timtam/indie-beets

Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Danke für die Meldung, das Problem sollte behoben sein und im nächsten Release nicht mehr auftreten.
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Not yet, no. I didn't know this at all before you mentioned it. Will look into it.
Replying to
@Scott@tweesecake.social An hour passed, now that everyone got the fully working experience and no scam whatsoever, time to release 2.0 with the actual scam in it, or some shady AI model downloading in the background or something along those lines.
Replying to
@johann@dragonscave.space You most likely have to install llvm and ninja via homebrew, see the CI workflow file for how the runner does this, that should basically cover your process too.
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io You can try this new build if you want. https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/actions/runs/25786801278/artifacts/6964870431
Rabbit v0.1.1 is out, with basically just Mac OS fixes. Things like language detection for VoiceOver and the universal binary failure with SWS and ReaPack have been addressed, but also a new try on the open me first command for the app bundle. Give it a try. The update is also available within rabbit itself, I however noticed the workflow isn't quite straight forward, i'm working on it.

Replying to
@jonathan859@someplace.social Both, so yeah, you can use it to install entirely new REAPER instances for you, all batteries included.
Replying to
@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com @vick21@mastodon.social Ctrl + C might be the close shortcut, oops. There should be a logs within your REAPER resource path, RABBIT/logs/, there should be a json and a txt file. Those would be useful for debugging.
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Are you perhaps running it in Rosetta mode, or something like that?
Replying to
@vick21@mastodon.social @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com ReaKontrol has no version information in the library files themselves, which is why it doesn't recommend you to update. OSARA however has, which might be why it recommends you to update. If possible, try to send me the setup-unix-.txt file of the latest, erroring run from your REAPER resource path/RABBIT/logs for diagnosis. Thank you.
Replying to
@prism@infosec.exchange @jonathan859@someplace.social @matt@toot.cafe Yes you can stop it, at least over here in the EU you can disable using credits entirely, even if you got them charged up. I wouldn't at all be confused if they added this setting for EU only, which is why I expressed it explicitly.
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Try this build if you like, you can just check the checkboxes to override the currently installed with the hopefully correct one this time. https://github.com/Timtam/rabbit/actions/runs/25639211302/artifacts/6906804048
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Do you have a GitHub account and can download artifacts for testing? I might have a fix ready, but am trying to find a way to get it to you as comfortable as possible.
Replying to
@Scott@tweesecake.social I'll start germany only. I'll have to figure out various management and safety things first to not get scammed or lose money/tech thanks to transportation and stuff, and things tend to get alot more complex and risky when its other countries laws you're dealing with.
Yesterday we had an Internet outage for a moment, and I was able to experience my fallback mobile connection for the very first time. Well, it worked really well. Internet degraded for a moment when it initially failed, it took the router a few short seconds to fall back to the mobile connection, obviously all open connections got closed and had to be reopened, but the WebEx conference I was in recovered in 2 or 3 seconds and everything went on as expected. Wireguard fixed itself too.
Replying to
@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io Hm, uncool. Would you be willing to send me the latest logs from your REAPER resource path/RABBIT/logs/, the file named setup-unix-.txt? The latest one? That might help clarify some things.
Replying to
@vick21@mastodon.social @FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Try the newest 0.1.1 version, that should have fixed the unable to update problem.
Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Aha, das ist ein guter Hinweis, ja, das mache ich. Idch wusste nicht, dass das bei Mac separat angegeben werden muss.
Replying to
@xogium@tech.lgbt @fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io From what Andre says, it seems like Mac has become really paranoid about such things. Looks like, unless I will pay hundred bucks every year to properly sign my app, that is what you'll have to do once when you download the app. Updates will later remember the unlocked gatekeeper though.
Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Ich hab es gefunden und eingebaut. Ich werde in Kürze eine Macos-Testversion verteilen, in der ich einige Mac-spezifische Sachen angefasst habe. Wenn du möchtest, kannst du es ja damit mal probieren.
Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Ja, das mache ich gerade. Die Update-Information wird in der Statusleiste angezeigt, aber ich habe damals den Dialog noch anders gebaut und der Knopf, um sich selbst zu aktualisieren, ist erst ganz am Ende des Dialogs, das hatte ich vergessen. Ich mache da ab der nächsten Version ein Popup zu Beginn des Setups draus.
Replying to
@x0@dragonscave.space Yeah it does, it behaves quite similar to what OSARA does. So in your case, uncheck the checkbox when you update OSARA.
Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Ich schaue mir das nochmal an. Ist recht doof, weil ich es selbst nicht testen kann.
Replying to
@marcozehe@norden.social Gute Frage, ich denke ja. Ich weiß nicht, ob es die ReaPack Registry auch automatisch aktualisiert. Bzw. habe ich es so gebaut, aber den Fall noch nicht getestet, also... versuch gern mal, und sag mir, ob es geklappt hat.

Die Idee ist im Prinzip: du willst ein oder mehrere Geräte, suchst dir eine Leihzeit aus (eine Woche, zwei Wochen etc), bekommst es zugeschickt, nutzt es, schickst es zurück, fertig. Ob du es für ein tatsächliches Projekt brauchst, oder du dir Geräte nur mal in deinem Kontext zu Hause anschauen möchtest ist hierbei vollkommen egal. Für wenig Geld kann man so für eigene Projekte auch wirklich hochwertige Technik einsetzen, die einem sonst quasi gepaywalled werden würde.
