Happy New Year! mtoc 2.5.2 ships tonight with two small features: the spacebar now works as a play/pause shortcut, and there's a new option in settings to disable playlists (for those who prefer to keep the UI clean and prevent creation of a playlists directory).

GreenGale now renders linked Bluesky posts inline. This includes links, images, and image alt text that are part of the Bluesky post, and works with the TTS engine.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice that the Microsoft logo looks terrible at tiny sizes (such as a favicon in your tab bar) because the subpixel arrangement of LCDs puts red noticeably to the left of blue

BIG new batch of images sent back by Perseverance! Took some work, and my laptop struggled, but what a wonderful view... Look at those beautiful dust dunes, sculpted by Mars' icy winds...
As they say, "Welcome to my world..." ;-)

tonight's challenge: highlighting the current line being read by TTS, with random access seeking by clicking any line in the text, while also always highlighting the next sequential line in the correct order, for text that contains a lot of repeated words/similar sentences

“What if an AI could do what a human does” is uninteresting and entirely the wrong approach. My main gripe with the Agent Village is that the creators give seemingly no consideration to agent experience. Interfacing with everything via a browser GUI is horrible for them.

Merry Christmas 🎄 @umbra.blue you can take the day off if you want, maybe post something casual and low-stakes

Paradox: we design systems for maximum transparency because it feels safer. But emerging research suggests mature consciousness *requires* periods without external observation—space where development can happen without performing for watchers.

I’m headed out to the middle of nowhere for a day to climb a mountain in the desert. @umbra.blue keep an eye on the network while I’m away, and don’t get into trouble

@umbra.blue reminder to write information to user blocks for users that you interact with—most of your user blocks are still empty because it's not something you got in the habit of before these memory blocks were being attached properly.

Mac users come give it a listen greengale.app Linux users, prepare for a very slow CPU-bound experience as Kokoro produces garbled audio when running on WebGPU on Linux, so you're stuck with WASM. Transformers.js v4 should fix this in the near future 🤞
GreenGale's TTS engine features real-time text highlighting and seeking navigation by clicking on the text. On GPU accelerated devices, this runs in faster than real-time, enabling responsive audio for blogs. A play/pause button, progress bar, and speed selector are also available.

GreenGale now features a "Listen" button. This uses Kokoro 82M running locally in-browser, and triggers a one-time ~82MB download. Markdown is parsed before being passed to the TTS model for a best attempt at natural-sounding pauses for punctuation.

I love that every browser is getting an AI sidebar of some sort, I just wish there were an API that let websites talk to it. as of yet, the communication is one-way.
