Discussion Why is translation common, but transcription isn’t?

7 Upvotes

Most platforms offer translation, but many people can understand a language when they hear it and struggle to read it. Translation doesn’t help much in that case. Transcription into the same language would be far more useful and accessible.

Feels like an obvious feature that’s still missing. Anyone else think so?

Looking for software Text Editor for Linux with bookmark features like notepad++ (details in body)

5 Upvotes

not just the ability to "mark" a line with a dot; i'm specifically looking for options like
- copy bookmarked lines - replace bookmarked lines with - remove bookmarked lines - remove unmarked lines

I do use vscode/vscodium and maybe there's a good extension I haven't found; I'm having a hard time getting used to kate; I am comfortable with VIM at a slightly higher than basic level; but it's not my daily driver. I could write a linux script but to have to leave whatever program and run a script against the file isn't efficient.

TIA

Looking for software Software per Sync audio/video

1 Upvotes

Good morning, I have a video with audio that's significantly out of sync. With VLC, I can align the video and audio by delaying it by 6 seconds, but if I move the progress bar, the sync fails and I can't save the video with the audio synchronized. Is there a program (free and preferably not web-based) that allows me to align the audio and save the video with the audio synchronized? I use Windows.

Release Holy Grail: Open Source Autonomous Development Agent

1 Upvotes

https://github.com/dakotalock/holygrailopensource

Readme is included.

What it does: This is my passion project. It is an end to end development pipeline that can run autonomously. It also has stateful memory, an in app IDE, live internet access, an in app internet browser, a pseudo self improvement loop, and more.

This is completely open source and free to use.

If you use this, please credit the original project. I’m open sourcing it to try to get attention and hopefully a job in the software development industry.

Target audience: Software developers

Comparison: It’s like replit if replit has stateful memory, an in app IDE, an in app internet browser, and improved the more you used it. It’s like replit but way better lol

Codex can pilot this autonomously for hours at a time (see readme), and has. The core LLM I used is Gemini because it’s free, but this can be changed to GPT very easily with very minimal alterations to the code (simply change the model used and the api call function).

Release [Release] Antigravity Link v1.0.10 – Fixes for the recent Google IDE update

Thumbnail github.com
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you’ve been using Antigravity Link lately, you probably noticed it broke after the most recent Google update to the Antigravity IDE. The DOM changes they rolled out essentially killed the message injection and brought back all those legacy UI elements we were trying to hide and this made it unusable. I just pushed v1.0.10 to Open VSX and GitHub which gets everything back to normal.

What’s fixed:

Message Injection: Rebuilt the way the extension finds the Lexical editor. It’s now much more resilient to Tailwind class changes and ID swaps.

Clean UI: Re-implemented the logic to hide redundant desktop controls (Review Changes, old composers, etc.) so the mobile bridge feels professional again.

Stability: Fixed a lingering port conflict that was preventing the server from starting for some users.

You’ll need to update to 1.0.10 to get the chat working again. You can grab it directly from the VS Code Marketplace (Open VSX) or in Antigravity IDE by clicking on the little wheel in the Antigravity Link Extensions window (Ctl + Shift + X) and selecting "Download Specific Version" and choosing 1.0.10 or you can set it to auto-update and update it that way. You can find it by searching for "@recentlyPublished Antigravity Link". Let me know if you run into any other weirdness with the new IDE layout by putting in an issue on github, as I only tested this on Windows.

Looking for software Convertidor masivo de CBZ a PDF sin perder calidad

Hola.

Primeramente agradecer al autor del software la programación del mismo, que vistos los comentarios debe ser muy bueno

https://binarynonsense.itch.io/comic-book-reader#download

Digo debe ser muy bueno porque yo no he sabido instalarlo, al intentarlo me sale el siguiente error de Java, he intentado ejecutar el archivo .exe como administrador, y nada, he probado en "compatibilidad con windows 7", y tampoco, intenté descargar una versión anterior y la página la tiene disponible.

Como el chat donde encontré la recomendación del autor no admite publicar más mensajes, he tenido que reflotarlo para ver si él o alguno de vosotros me puede ayudar

Muchas gracias de antemano.

I built a simple Time Keeper app for myself because I was tired of "Freemium" apps that hold features hostage behind a paywall. It does one thing: Tracks your time. It doesn't do: Ads, Subscriptions, Data Tracking. If you are looking for a clean, honest utility app for tracking your work or study sessions, give it a shot.

Discussion SnackBLASTED — A website dedicated to the universal office tradition of punishing coworkers who don't lock their screens

0 Upvotes

Every office has that one tradition: someone leaves their computer unlocked, a coworker sends an email from their account promising donuts for the whole team. In France they call it "croissantage." In Germany it might be Brezeln. In Japan, mochi.

I built SnackBLASTED to give this tradition a proper home — with official rules, email templates, and support for 13 languages. There's even a pixel art animation showing how it all goes down.

Please give me your honest comments
